The Prime Minister's Wife

Chapter 327 Clear Your True Colors (3)
The queen sighed and said: "Smell the fragrance of this tea, no wonder the emperor is thinking about it, if it wasn't for my palace being pregnant, one person must have monopolized it."

Hearing this, Xiao Jintian laughed softly: "If the queen mother feels regretful, I will drink an extra cup, which can be regarded as drinking for the concubine mother." After speaking, he took a cup of tea, took a sip, and raised his head involuntarily , amazed.

"After today, if I want to drink the tea made by the prime minister's wife again, I'm afraid I won't have the chance."

Xiao Yao made a faint sound, and also took a cup of tea, took a sip, and slowly savored it: "The opportunity is rare, and the tea is so good, it's enough to savor for a lifetime, how can I miss it."

After a while, Xiao Jinshuang couldn't help it, and took a cup of tea, and then Imperial Physician Hua also brought a cup, and the last cup, Boqing picked it up by herself, and took a shallow sip.

The others watched them cautiously, not knowing which of the five would be poisoned and collapsed.

Just when everyone was hanging their hearts high, there was a sudden scream of pain, and a figure fell from the temple beam.

Xiao Jintian flicked his wide sleeves, and supported the falling figure with a force, so that the other person fell to the ground slowly, so that the fall would not be fatal.

Bo Qing looked at that figure coldly, although she was wrapped in a black robe and covered her face with a black scarf, her figure was very slender, one could tell it was a woman at a glance.

The woman seemed to be in great pain. As soon as her body fell to the ground, she kept rolling over and over without holding her abdomen, as if something was making trouble in her abdomen.

Bo'er jumped forward and swiftly tore off the black scarf on the opponent's face. When that face was exposed to everyone's eyes, everyone couldn't help being shocked.

The face in front of them was very familiar to them, and they never dreamed that the person who was poisoned would be her.

The Empress Dowager stood up in disbelief, helped Xiao Jinshuang down from the top, looked at the person in front of her carefully again, and said with a puzzled expression: "How could the poisoned person be Shunhua, shouldn't she be taking care of the emperor?" How could it be in the hall?" He looked at Boqing suspiciously.

Bo Qing asked Imperial Physician Hua to treat Shun Hua first, while he himself supported the Empress Dowager and said, "Queen Dowager, don't worry, this concubine will tell you what happened."

As soon as the queen mother sat down, she couldn't wait to say: "You girl, stop worrying about your family's appetite, and tell me what's going on." She changed her previous cold and ruthless attitude.

Boqing smiled lightly and said: "Actually, the Eighth Prince was right about the murderer's way of killing. He did use the mother-child poison Gu. But it didn't let the Gu worms fly into the tea as the Eighth Prince said. If it is In this way, with the ferocious toxicity of the Soul Eater Grass, the emperor should have been poisoned when he drank the first sip of tea yesterday, not when the tea was about to run out."

"Besides, with the overbearing poison of Soul Eater Grass, if the poison is poured into tea, the poison will definitely burn the emperor's throat if it enters from the mouth. But yesterday, my wife didn't hear anyone mention that the emperor can't speak. Guess, this poison may not be imported from the mouth." Boqing analyzed lightly.

Physician Zhang couldn't help but turn red when he heard that, Physician Hua was silent for a moment, then smiled dumbly and said: "I am ashamed that I have not even discovered such an obvious thing, please ask the prime minister's wife to explain the reason, I have heard about it in detail . " Hearing what Imperial Physician Hua said, everyone's eyes once again focused on Boqing.

Boqing raised the corners of her lips slightly, and said with a shallow smile: "This starts with the matter of why my wife suddenly made tea for the Queen Mother yesterday."

Xiao Jinshuang said without hesitation: "The reason why the prime minister's wife wants to make tea for the emperor's empress is not because the prime minister's wife didn't prepare green plum wine yesterday and was punished by the princess. Is there anything wrong with that?"

After Bao Qing heard this, she couldn't help but sneered coldly in her heart, and said lightly on her face: "The reason why my wife didn't prepare green plum wine is because someone intentionally sent the invitation card that should have been given to my wife a month ago. It was sent to Mrs. Ben three days before the banquet, and the person who sent the post did not tell Mrs. Ben the news that green plum wine will be brought to the banquet."

His eyes fell on Xiao Jinshuang, and he continued flirtatiously: "My wife doesn't know these things, and she will be punished naturally at the banquet. As for the punishment, I'm afraid that someone will secretly hint to the ninth princess, and the ninth princess will use the punishment as an excuse to let me be fair and honest. Madam makes tea, and then let someone secretly pass the news to the emperor, and the emperor will definitely come when he finds out."

Speaking of this, Bo Qing stopped, looked at the Queen Mother and said slowly: "Queen Mother, I think, this is why the time on the post of the minister is almost half an hour behind by others, because the murderer wants the emperor to be here Show up during the time when the concubine is making tea." If she came for too long, she would definitely not meet the emperor, and the other party's plan would not be implemented.

Xiao Jinshuang thought about it silently, and said angrily, "Madam Prime Minister means that someone is using this princess to murder my father." Boqing nodded indifferently, acquiescing to Xiao Jinshuang's statement that she was indeed being used by others .

Concubine Yun was sitting next to her, and said with a puzzled look on her face: "However, Imperial Physician Hua inspected that cup of tea and found Soul Eater Grass in that cup of tea. How can it be said that the emperor was not poisoned by drinking tea."

Thinly glanced at Xiao Jinxi, who was silent, and said with a half-smile: "The poison in this teacup, as the eighth prince said, was given by the emperor himself. As for the reason, since the eighth prince knows the medicinal properties of the soul-eating grass , I must know the reason." Hearing this, Xiao Jinxi raised his head suddenly, and looked at Baoqing in confusion, this woman was framing him again, how could he know the medicinal properties of Soul Eater Grass.
