MTL - The Reborn Noble Daughter-Chapter 423 poisoning

Chapter 423 423.Poisoning

Zhenbi was shocked and paced back and forth in the palace.

 “No way, the empress poisoned the virtuous concubine so openly?”

Concubine Zhen didn’t believe it, but that was the fact. It was impossible for Concubine Liu Xian to poison herself.

 After hearing about this, Emperor Qi and the Queen immediately went to Concubine Liu Xian's palace.

　　Although his love for her was usually dispensable, as soon as the sixth prince was sent out to do something, his mother and concubine were poisoned in the palace.

No matter how you look at it, it was aimed at him rather than Concubine Liu Xian, so Emperor Qi was furious!

　　An order was given to thoroughly investigate who was behind the scenes. Soon, the imperial doctor discovered a large amount of hibiscus cakes in Concubine Xian's vomit. Those hibiscus cakes were the main culprit of Concubine Xian's poisoning.

 The spearhead is directed at Concubine Wei.

Soon, Concubine Wei was summoned in shock. As soon as she entered the door, she saw the emperor's gloomy face, while Concubine Liu Xian on the bed looked pale and extremely weak.

 “I have met your Majesty and the Queen.”

 “Get up.”

 “Thank you, Your Majesty.”

“Is there anything wrong with you coming to visit the Concubine Xian today?”

Di Qi asked straight to the point.

 But his eyes were fixed on Concubine Wei, for fear of missing any of her expressions.

 Seeing that she was very open-minded, she looked at Emperor Qi firmly and said.

"There's nothing wrong with it, but I also heard that Concubine Xian got poisoned after eating the hibiscus cake made in my kitchen, so I've seized all the ingredients and manpower in the small kitchen. Your Majesty and your empress If you want to inquire, you can do so at any time.”

 She was removed with just one sentence, but anyone with a discerning eye wouldn't know that it was in her own palace. Is it possible that she still couldn't destroy the evidence?

 So, there is no difference between checking or not checking.

"My sister's move is really embarrassing for me and Your Majesty. We don't want to believe that things that pass through your hands can be poisonous. But if my sister Xian Fei hadn't been treated in time, I'm afraid the medicine would no longer be effective. So, no matter what, my sister is There are still some things involved, so I will stay in Hanzhang Palace for the time being and wait until everything comes to light before I come out."

It’s called admonishment, but it’s actually house arrest.

No one present could tell that Concubine Wei looked at Emperor Qi. Could it be that the many years of husband-wife kindness could not earn him a word of trust?

 It's a pity that she didn't hear Emperor Qi speak in the end.

There is no greater sorrow than the death of the heart, and the death of a person is also the second most.

She is arrogant and domineering, and she cannot tolerate others, but if she does something, she will do it, and if she doesn't do it, she will not do it.

I couldn't stand the virtuous concubine, so I deliberately forced her to eat that amount of hibiscus cake. She admitted it.

　　But she denied that she had poisoned it.

Even a fool would not let others grasp the handle so straightforwardly, but Emperor Qi was thinking in another direction.

　　She was just right because everyone thought she wouldn't be so stupid to take action directly, thus avoiding her suspicion.

It is not impossible to find another way.

Hence, Concubine Wei didn't get a trace of Qi Emperor's stay until she turned to leave.

Thinking of her "nonsense" these days, Concubine Wei felt extremely ridiculous.

 Concubine Liu Xian on the bed was obviously still affected by the residual poison, so she had been sleeping uneasily.

 Di Qi and the Queen sat for a while and then left.

 Before leaving, I sent two capable medical women to stay in the side hall, so that if anything happened, they could be treated in time. Fortunately, after she vomited three or four more times, she finally got rid of all the poison, but she suffered a lot as a result.

 Due to the intense cleansing and abstinence, the body did not receive much maintenance. After such a torment, I lost a lot of weight in just a few days.

The maid serving her beside said.

"Fortunately, His Highness the Sixth Prince is not in the capital now. If she sees the empress like this, she will be heartbroken again."

 When she mentioned her only son, Concubine Liu Xian showed a faint smile.

　　It cannot be called Konggu Orchid, but it still has the flavor of Xiaojiabiyu.

She was not of a high birth, nor was she outstanding in appearance or talent. Over the years, she had become accustomed to being an invisible person in the harem. If this matter had not caused such a big fuss, based on her past temperament, she would probably have tolerated it and gotten over it.

　　"You are the same. The commotion is so great. Now everyone in the palace is staring at us. This is not good for the emperor."

The most important thing for him is to be safe when he is away from home. It would be very dangerous if she made others jealous because of her high status in the palace and extended her poisonous hand to the Sixth Prince.

 This is also the reason why she is very tolerant towards Concubine Wei, just because she doesn’t want anything to happen to him.

"My queen, she has already poisoned you to death, why do you still tolerate it? I want you to tell me, you should have insisted that she was the one who poisoned you, so that your majesty can see what kind of snake-hearted person she is!"

 Concubine Liu Xian shook her head weakly.

"The imperial concubine has the backing of the Wei family and the favor of Prince Li. How easy is it to bring her down? Even if I were poisoned to death today, His Majesty would not necessarily attack Concubine Wei. So you are going through this whole thing, right?" it's useless."

 Cough twice. She has vomited a lot in the past few days, her stomach is always uncomfortable, and her throat is also injured, so talking too much will trigger a cough.

 The maid next to her immediately brought a glass of warm water over to moisten her throat.

 "The empress is kind-hearted and has never beaten or scolded the slaves, so the slaves cannot bear to see you being bullied like this."

"Well, haven't you been here for so many years? You always remember that the less noticeable I am here, the safer the prince will be, you know?"

 “Yes, empress.”

After the master and servant talked for a while, it was obvious that Concubine Liu Xian was exhausted.

　　After taking the medicine, I fell asleep again.

The maid who had just served her took off the earring when she returned to the room. No one discovered that the beads of the earring were hollow, and the poison that Concubine Liu Xian was poisoned was placed inside.

 After cleaning all the powder in the earrings and restoring them again, even if the people from Dali Temple came, they could not find out what she had done.

In Yongle Palace, the Queen was obviously much more comfortable with Concubine Wei being grounded.

The headache I had suffered for many days was as if I had taken an elixir. It was inexplicably better. The nanny next to me said to her in a low voice after she turned away from everyone.

“Don’t worry, Madam, the people we have arranged for you in the imperial concubine’s palace have already taken action. Within a month, she will definitely lose her mind!”

 A crazy noble concubine is a crucial point in their game of chess.

After Duke Wei was assassinated and blinded in one eye, he secretly began to take revenge on the big princes.

Several people they placed in the court either died inexplicably, or the road that should have had a chance to climb up was blocked.

Even though they are an upstart, accidentally injuring a few of them will not have much impact on their overall situation, but they just don't take them seriously.
