Facing the emperor's questioning, Ai Qiaoqiao completely calmed down at this time.

Ye Liyan has rescued the emperor in a high-profile manner, if she only kneels and begs for mercy, wouldn't she lose the spirit of Ye Lidu.

Moreover, she did not think that the emperor's poisoning had anything to do with her.

"If you go back to the emperor, the cherry rolls I made are not poisonous." She said seriously, "The cherry pit was said by the Imperial Doctor just now that the cherry pit is poisonous, but when I made the jam, I didn't smash the pit together. ”

The Imperial Doctor said angrily: "Could it be that you think I'm lying? ”

Ai Qiaoqiao insisted: "I still have the pits left after I made the jam just now, and the emperor can ask people to check the pits to see if they are complete." ”

"Yes." The emperor gestured to the chief eunuch to inspect the ingredients and waste left over from Ai Qiaoqiao's dessert.

Everyone knelt or stood, staring at the chief eunuch.

The emperor sat there and his body was shaky, and if it weren't for the two little eunuchs on the left and right, he would have almost collapsed.

After a while, the chief eunuch trotted back, holding something in both hands.

"Your Majesty, look." As he spoke, he opened his hand to see a few broken cherry pits in his palm.

Ai Qiaoqiao only felt a buzz in her head.

She remembered very well that she hadn't smashed the pit at all.

How could it be...... How could it be......

"Your Majesty, please allow the grass people to say a word." Night Death suddenly interjected.

The emperor's expression was solemn, staring at the night deadly, "What do you say?" Your wife poisoned me first, although you saved me, but you are not free from suspicion, what else do you want to say. ”

Ye Liyan's attitude was neither humble nor arrogant, "No matter whether what the grass man's wife said is true or false, even if she chops all those cherry pits, no matter who eats them, they will not be poisoned." ”

Hearing this, everyone was stunned.

Ye Lizheng said, "If the emperor doesn't believe it, the grass people can verify it on the spot." ”

The imperial doctor on the side said angrily, "Doctor Night, you are also a doctor, do you dare to say that this cherry core is not poisonous in front of the emperor?" ”

"Don't dare." Ye Liyan lightly spit out two words, only stunned everyone.

Ye Liyan said leisurely, "There is indeed a slight poison in the cherry kernel, but even if you eat all these number of kernels, there will be no such serious poisoning, if the emperor does not believe it, the grass people are willing to try it." ”

In other words, Nightshade is willing to eat the same amount of cherry pits on the spot as he had just made the cherry jam.

The emperor was not stupid, although he also thought that the poisoning was extremely strange before, but he always had to ask.

Now that I heard Ye Liyan say this, not only him, but even the surrounding imperial guards didn't believe it.

People dare to eat it on the spot, how can it be poisonous.

You know, if he himself is poisoned, no one can save him.

"That'...... Why did I get poisoned? ”

Night Departure's gaze swept over the table in front of the Emperor.

Just now, in order to save the emperor, in a period of chaos, all the tea sets on the table were gone.

"What about the tea that the emperor drank just now?" The night is gone.

Only then did everyone notice that the tea set on the table had been taken away at some point.

The chief eunuch summoned the little eunuch, and after a while, someone brought half a pot of tea.

He just glanced at it and didn't stretch out his hand.

"But there's something wrong with this tea?" The queen asked.

"I don't know......," Ye Liyan said in a quiet tone, "because this is not the pot of tea that the emperor drank just now." ”

"What?" The empress and the emperor were shocked, and looked at the chief eunuch at the same time.

The chief eunuch's face turned white with fright, "Your Majesty, the slave is going to investigate...... Xu was too chaotic just now, it must have been cleaned up by the minions below who are not long-eyed......"

Ai Qiaoqiao looked at this scene, and her heart was cold.

Night is right.

The poisonous thing may be in the tea, but they are one step late, and the poisonous tea has already been replaced.

"What's wrong with a pot of tea, don't quibble anymore, you just want to protect your wife." The imperial physician said indignantly, "I really can't imagine that your city is so heavy, first refused to enter the imperial hospital, and then in order to show your medical skills to the emperor, so I joined forces with your wife to play such a hand." ”

That sounds like a good reason.

Ai Qiaoqiao subconsciously clenched her fists.

At this moment, she deeply realized her powerlessness.

She can't do anything!

In the face of imperial power, people believe only in an infinite thirst for power, and ...... The ruthlessness and cruelty behind the human heart.

The Emperor closed his eyes tiredly.

He really couldn't support it anymore, and he slowly spoke: "Put the Night Doctor and his wife in prison first...... ...... later"

"It's not the dessert made by the Night Lady that is poisonous, it's this pot of tea." At this moment, a female voice suddenly sounded in the crowd.

The crowd followed the prestige, only to see the crowd parting, and out of it came a woman in her thirties, dressed in coarse cloth clothes, dressed like a village woman in the countryside.

But the expression on her face and the momentum around her when she walked carried an indescribable nobility.

Ai Qiaoqiao almost dropped her jaw to the ground in shock.

This man is actually ...... Aunt Ji!

Aunt Ji was holding a pot of tea in one hand and dragging a little eunuch in her right hand.

The little eunuch's collar was pulled in her hand, and his head was tilted to the side, apparently fainted.

"Aunt Ji!" Ai Qiaoqiao exclaimed.

"The poisonous tea is here, Doctor Night, come and see." Aunt Ji ignored the many officers and soldiers and imperial guards in front of her, and went straight forward.

"Who are you to dare to be unreasonable to the emperor!" The chief eunuch shouted, "Come on, take her down!" ”

The moment the emperor saw Aunt Ji, his eyes first showed a confused look, and then suddenly froze.

"Live...... Stop it! He let out a hard shout.

The guards and officers all stopped.

Ye Liyan stepped forward and took the teapot from Aunt Ji's hand.

Aunt Ji dragged the little eunuch in her hand and continued to take two steps forward, "Who really wants to poison the emperor, chief eunuch, you should know better than anyone else, right?" ”

The emperor looked coldly at the chief eunuch.

The chief eunuch was full of grievances, "Your Majesty, the old slave has served by your side for more than ten years, but he has no second thoughts." ”

The queen looked at the little eunuch in Aunt Ji's hand and asked the chief eunuch, "Is this person your subordinate?" ”

The chief eunuch knelt down and kowtowed like pounding garlic, "It's the slave's subordinate, but how can the slave harm the emperor, the slave serves the emperor wholeheartedly, if there is any falsehood, the old slave will not die well!" ”

The queen was a little shaken, obviously she still believed in her own people more than the inexplicable village woman in front of her.

"Hula", the emperor stood up tremblingly holding on to the table.

The little eunuchs on both sides hurriedly went to help.

There was a strange brilliance in the emperor's eyes, "You...... It's hard for you to ...... Could it be Ji Yun's sister? ”

Aunt Ji's eyes also flashed with a hint of sadness, "There is no Ji Yun in this world anymore, and there is no Ji family in Yan Country." ”

The emperor seemed to be crying and smiling, "I thought you were long gone. ”

Aunt Ji smiled coldly, "I'm still alive so that I can avenge the Ji family one day, and the blood debt owed by the Nalan family should also be repaid." ”

As soon as the words fell, the chief eunuch who was still kneeling on the ground just now suddenly raised his hand.

Several black shadows shot out of his sleeve and headed straight for the emperor and empress......
