Dong Gong Mei

Chapter 314: This Palace is Poisonous?

The concubines rolled up their sleeves and dipped their palms in the water basin.

According to the crown princess, the truth about the little princess's poisoning will soon be revealed after they clean their hands.

Naturally, they don't believe this statement. It's just a basin of water and washing hands. Could it really be possible to wash out an earth-shattering secret!
But... I don't know how the princess can justify herself after they wash their hands?
Everyone looked at each other, and they all saw the light of excitement in each other's eyes-everyone was waiting to see the good show of the princess!

However, with just this one glance, the smile froze immediately.

Under the eyes of everyone, the water in Concubine Pei's basin turned purple.

"This... this... what's going on!?" The face of the concubine Ming who was closest to Concubine Pei changed drastically, and she stared at the concubine dumbfounded: "Sister, you...you..."

Concubine Pei frowned, and looked at Zhao Xiwei angrily: "What the hell are you doing? Why did the basin of water in this palace change color?"

Before Zhao Xiwei could reply, Li Xuanye called lightly: "The imperial physician."

"Yes..." The imperial physician, who was stunned to the side, immediately stepped forward, took out the silver needle bravely, and began to test the basin of water tremblingly.

But in an instant, the gleaming white silver needle has turned black!
"What, what, what's going on?" the concubines stammered.

The corner of the imperial doctor's mouth twitched, and he said with a wry smile: "I also ask the imperial concubine to extend her hand..."

Concubine Pei Gui hadn't recovered from the shock, she stretched out her palm out of nowhere.

Concubine Ming beside her immediately covered her mouth, and said in disbelief: "Your Majesty! Empress's fingernails have also changed color!"

Concubine Ming's voice was thin and crisp, and immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Concubine Pei's hands were kept white, tender and clean, but at this moment, the thumb of her left hand turned purple!

Concubine Pei's eyes widened, she raised her hands, looked left and right, and kept shaking her head: "Hey, what's going on here??"

"Tingwei." Li Xuanye called again faintly.

"The minister is here." The Ting Weijian who was standing aside immediately stepped forward.

Everyone held their breath and watched the Ting Weijian take out tweezers, cotton towels, and other utensils, first looked at the basin of water for a while, and then looked at the fingers of the noble concubine.

But after a while, Ting Weijian bowed before the emperor, and said: "Your Majesty, after the identification of the humble minister, the finger of the noble concubine is poison!"

"what??"

Everyone was stunned.

Even Concubine Pei herself was stunned, her eyes widened: "I have poison in my hand???"

The emperor was also startled, and raised his hand to speak.

"Ah! Look, the water in her basin has also changed color!" Suddenly, someone exclaimed from all around.

Everyone turned to look.

"Lan Ruo?" A famous concubine asked with a strange expression, "Isn't this the maid of Concubine Shu?"

"Yes..." Someone thought he had recovered, and said meaningfully: "Concubine, Lan Ruo—"

Concubine Pei looked at the water in her own basin, then at the water in Lanruo's basin, and after a moment's pause, she suddenly raised her hand.

"Clap!"

The water basin was overturned to the ground, and the water splashed all over her body, and half of her clothes were wet.

Concubine Pei was trembling with anger, and there were a few purple drops of water hanging on her face. She didn't bother to wipe it off, so she sternly said to Zhao Xi: "Bitch! Bengong and Lan Ruo have never been close! Why? I will collude with her to frame the princess!"

She knelt down in front of the emperor with a "plop", and said through gritted teeth: "Your Majesty, if the concubine wants to frame the princess, what kind of person can't be used, why bother to instruct Lan Ruo who is next to Concubine Shu? Isn't this a self-defeating trap?" ? Although the concubine is stupid, she will not be so stupid!"

The emperor gave a "hmm" and looked at Zhao Xiwei.

Concubine Pei saw that the emperor seemed to be loosening up, so she immediately seized the opportunity, took another step forward on her knees, hugged the emperor's leg, and cried, "Your Majesty! The Crown Princess and Concubine Shu are both from the Zhao family. As aunts and nephews, there is no guarantee that they are not colluding to frame the concubine! Your Majesty, the concubine really did not poison the little princess, you have to decide for the concubine!"

Concubine Pei Gui has always had a strong temper, and she rarely burst into tears like rain.

The emperor's heart softened when he saw it, and he lowered his voice involuntarily: "Don't cry, just tell me slowly if you have anything to say."

The empress dowager looked at the emperor coldly, and seeing his indecisive appearance, she couldn't help but sneer: "The emperor is really interesting. The mother and daughter of the concubine Shu are still comatose in the back hall. Do you feel sorry for the concubine?"

Being criticized by the queen mother in front of his son, the emperor was a little embarrassed to step down, coughed awkwardly, and said, "The queen mother taught me the lesson." Looking at the imperial concubine, the eyes became a little colder, "the imperial concubine said, the crown prince and the concubine Concubine Shu conspired to frame you?"

"It must be like this!" Concubine Pei saw that no one was reliable in the audience, she felt extremely sad.

Big tears rolled down, she grabbed the emperor's sleeve, sobbing and crying: "Your Majesty, have you forgotten? What happened at the concubine's house and Concubine Shu's house last time?"

I can't manage the affairs of my own harem, let alone the family affairs of the two concubines?

The emperor really couldn't remember for a while: "What matter?"

Concubine Pei cried: "It's the marriage between the concubine's sister and Concubine Shu's brother!"

"This matter..." The emperor suddenly remembered, "Is it about your sister and brother Concubine Shu?"

"Yes!" Concubine Pei nodded hastily, "My sister has been a widow for many years, and later I met Concubine Shu's brother. His brother lied to my sister, saying that he had never married! My sister was deceived by him, so she followed him wholeheartedly! Until the last Yue returned to Beijing, only to find out that he had already married a wife and had children!"

When mentioning this matter, the emperor frowned: "It is true that the Zhao family owes you this matter! So I also ordered the Zhao family to handle it properly. I heard that the Zhao family is going to welcome your sister through the door, isn't it?"

Concubine Pei gritted her teeth and said, "Why did you get married before? Your Majesty! The Zhao family did one thing in person and another in the other's back. They promised His Majesty with all their mouths, but they turned their heads and refused to make an offer!"

"This matter, the Zhao family really did not behave properly!" The emperor's face darkened, and his eyes turned to Zhao Xiwei.

Zhao Xi was silent for a while.

No wonder Li Xuanye asked her to go to the Zhao Mansion to deal with the matter...

She has done everything that should be done, and it is already very risky to persuade Yuan Shi to reconcile smoothly.How do you know that the Zhao family has been delaying the appointment?

And even if she knew, she was a junior in her teens, so it was not easy to forcefully intervene.

But all in all, this is something her family did wrong, and if the emperor wants to scold her, she can only admit it.

Just as he was thinking about it, Li Xuanye suddenly smiled, and said lightly: "The imperial concubine, one yard is worth one yard, the princess is poisoned, and marrying the Zhao family again, these are two different things. For the sake of the imperial concubine, you should not confuse them it is good."

Why does it sound like there is something in the words?

Zhao Xiwei couldn't help but glance at him.

However, he saw his long eyebrows slightly frowned, his eyes slightly narrowed, and there was a hint of coldness.

Zhao Xi was taken aback for a moment, and suddenly felt something was wrong.
