Chapter 808 The Evidence Is Solid
She slapped the case sharply: "Who, who wants to harm the family? Which lifeless thing dares to break ground on Tai Sui's head?"

The emperor hurriedly said: "Don't worry, queen mother, with your son here, who would dare to murder you?"

He changed hands and told Li Yu: "Check it out, let me check it hard, I want to see, who dared to murder the Queen Mother after eating a bear's heart and leopard?"

Li Yu hurriedly responded, and soon called a group of people from the Punishment Department to search the Palace of Compassion and Peace.

About half an hour later, Li Yu came to report, shaking his whisk: "Your Majesty, the servants have already investigated carefully. This time, those who are in charge of the Empress Dowager's [-]th birthday are all the best cooks in the Imperial Dining Room, and all the meals are prepared by the chef himself. It's just that the cook who was in charge of making the nine-layer cake accidentally bumped into the dark cloud beside Concubine Rou during the delivery, and there was no one else besides that."

The emperor's face was covered with a layer of frost, and he looked at Concubine Rou coldly: "How could your court lady have contact with the Queen Mother's meal?"

Concubine Rou knelt down and distinguished: "I don't know, I just found out that the purple jade earring I was wearing was missing one. I was afraid that I would be disrespectful to the Queen Mother and the Emperor, so I let Wu Yun go out."

Wu Yun also hurriedly knelt down: "Your Majesty understands that this servant was only ordered to go out to find the empress's purple jade earrings. On the way, he accidentally bumped into the chef who delivered the meal, and did not poison anyone."

There was a cold look in the emperor's eyes: "Li Yu, take someone to Jingren Palace where Concubine Rou is located."

Li Yu responded and was about to go down.

Ting Lan said: "Emperor, as far as Ai Jia knows, although the black mandala flower is highly poisonous, it is the favorite of bees and butterflies. If it is hidden in the bedroom, it will attract bees and butterflies. It is easy to be discovered by others, and the best way to preserve this kind of poison is to seal it with oil wax, if it was really done by Concubine Rou, she would not dare to hide the poison in her palace and let others find it."

When the emperor heard the words, he said to Linglong: "Queen, call a few nuns to search for the noble concubine and Wu Yun."

Concubine Rou's expression changed drastically, thinking of the ball-shaped object wrapped in oil and wax that Hu Yunjiao gave her just now, her breathing became stagnant in an instant, and her whole body was like a dehydrated fish.

Linglong was waiting for this sentence, when the emperor gave an order, she immediately asked Nanny Rong to rush over.

The autumn wind swept across like fallen leaves, and the little ball wrapped in oil and wax was finally found.

Linglong handed it to Luo Tian: "See what this is?"

Luo Tian immediately removed the oil and wax, revealing a black dry powder.

He took some powder and put it on his nose to embroider, and suddenly his hands trembled: "The pollen of the black mandala flower, your majesty, this is the pollen of the black mandala flower!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone's expressions changed drastically.

Concubine Rou's face turned pale with fright, recalling the past few years, Hu Yunjiao's three-faced spies surfaced on the water.

Only then did she realize that the queen had already seen through Hu Yunjiao's identity from the time Hu Yunjiao entered the Xiefang Palace.

But this treacherous and scheming woman didn't get rid of Hu Yunjiao, but kept her and used her to plot against her.

What kind of tacit cooperation between Hu Yunjiao and the queen can achieve such a perfect fit?
The more Concubine Rou thought about it, the more frightening she felt, a layer of sticky cold sweat unconsciously broke out from the palms under her sleeves.
