"Bring the man we just arrested here for identification."
Someone go out and bring the captured people here.
"Is this the man?"
"Yes, that's what he gave it to me. He said that Concubine Tao's family was ruined by the Bai family, so he hated her very much, but she was powerless and had no other choice. Knowing that I hated the Bai family too, he sent a message to me, hoping to cooperate.
Of course I agree, and this medicine can make people crazy, just like a violent beast. Haha, I just want to make her a target, so that the emperor will be wary of her and afraid of her, so that he will kill her.
Death is like a hunted beast, a miserable death!"
Everyone had different expressions on their faces. After hearing her words, Prince Rui and his wife truly felt how vicious their daughter was.
"Aren't you afraid that I might kill you too?"
"I've sprinkled some powder on me that will make you not want to come near me. I'll be fine!"
The imperial physician found the torn clothes and examined them
"The Emperor's powder doesn't have the effect she claims. Instead, it's something laced with blood, and it will attract people who have violent seizures."
How could the person behind the scenes spare her life? Once all those who knew about it died, no one would be able to find out that it was Concubine Tao.
"Who helped give me the medicine?"
"My maidservant is in Bai's place, and the one in the boy's place was helped by Concubine Tao's people."
"You planned so much, and in the end it all happened to you. Do you regret it?"
"I just wish I could kill you myself!"
"We don't have such a deep hatred!"
"Making me lose face is the greatest vengeance!"
Shit, that doesn't make any sense at all. He's truly unrepentant.
The Emperor and Bai Zhiyue knew everything they needed to know, and had asked almost all the questions. Seeing that she didn't have much time left, she left the space to Prince Rui and his wife.
After coming out, the emperor ordered
"Capture Concubine Tao and seal off her Yuhua Palace!"
Then he sent someone to announce that the palace banquet was over and everyone could go home.
He has to take care of his own business.
The ministers who were waiting in the hall finally received the news that they could leave the palace. Seeing that the guards outside had dispersed, they did not dare to ask any more questions and hurried out of the palace.
Another terrifying night
Princess Pingyang had long been physically exhausted, so she went to the palace arranged by the Queen to rest. Since she couldn't leave the palace, she could just rest in the palace. This was still a good treatment.
Bai Zhiyue stayed here until the room was filled with crying. Prince Rui and his wife came out with red eyes. The imperial physician announced that the princess had died and went to see her in person before leaving.
We must never allow them to do anything and leave them with a chance to survive.
The following matter was sent to Congcong to investigate
[By the time the Emperor arrived, Concubine Tao had already hanged herself]
"You must know you can't survive, so dying will save you some suffering!"
As a precaution, the Emperor ordered the execution of all the palace maids and eunuchs in Yuhua Palace and set it on fire. He claimed that Yuhua Palace was on fire and no one escaped.
"The Emperor doesn't have the nerve to admit that his concubine is a spy from another country!"
[The Second Prince cried so miserably and insisted on rushing in to save his mother. The Emperor felt uncomfortable and did not try to comfort him. He just had the child taken away. I strongly suspect that he was worried whether the child was his.
But I think the Second Prince looks quite similar to the Emperor, so it must be true. The Emperor is just being overly suspicious!
"You see, it's useless to pretend. The emperor has a knot in his heart and it will definitely take him a while to get over it. Even if the child is his, it is likely to be born by someone from Qi. It would be strange for him to like it."
[Alas, it's a pity for the Second Prince. He finally managed to survive in the harem controlled by Concubine Wan Gui, but now he is about to be abandoned by the Emperor.
The princes and princesses who are not loved in the palace may live a life worse than even the maids and eunuchs.
"Your compassion is excessive. That's the Emperor's own business. It's been like this for generations. What can a magpie like you do to change that?"
【Just a feeling】
"I'm feeling overwhelmed by emotion. What's the situation with Concubine Tao's family?"
Last year, his family was implicated in a case, and he was demoted and sent back to his hometown. The Emperor sent shadow guards to secretly capture him, hoping to find out more information through further investigation.
"Did the eunuch confess anything?"
[He's also a tough guy. I've tried all kinds of torture. To be honest, water doesn't have much effect on him. He's very durable. I haven't gotten any useful information yet.]
"Use the torture a few more times, and it will work when your mind is not so clear."
[The Emperor also said so. Let them be tortured every day, as long as they don't die.]
"If I can't figure it out, I'll go and have a meeting. Few people can last more than a quarter of an hour in my hands!"
She must know where the medicine comes from. Not only is the emperor worried, Bai Zhiyue will not allow anything that poses a threat to her to exist.
If the opponent gets hold of this kind of thing separately, you can't defend yourself at all. You can't test everything you use and eat with a machine every day. That's too unrealistic and life will be so tiring.
The Queen's Palace is also discussing this matter
"I didn't expect that Concubine Tao was actually a spy from Qi. The Second Prince is probably in trouble."
"Just watch out. As long as you're not being bullied, don't worry about it. If someone bullies you too much, give them some help!"
"Your Majesty, why..."
"For a prince who has already lost his chance of ascending the throne and may be out of favor, giving him some help in his difficult times would be a blessing for the future crown prince. He might even be able to be of use in the future."
"Your Majesty's Opinion"
"Has anyone been sent from Concubine Xian?"
"Well, we've already arranged for someone to help. She's not one to keep quiet. Everyone knows what happened a while ago. There's no guarantee that she won't turn her attention to the Empress's pregnancy."
"Well, although this person doesn't have much power in the palace, he has bribed many palace servants before. If he wants to become the mother of the only prince, it is not impossible for him to do something crazy."
