In the Taihe Palace, Concubine Wang Shu's lilac dress was stained red with blood, and her body slowly softened, making Mingcui and Xishun on the side look frightened.

"! Mother, what's wrong with you, mother! ”

"Imperial Doctor, quickly pass on Imperial Doctor!"

"Someone! Fast! ”

……

Under the leadership of the chief manager Haigui, the imperial doctors who came with Xiao Xiruo rushed into the hall almost immediately, and carried Wang Shufei out of the hall smoothly.

As if to express her concern for Concubine Wang Shu, Empress Dowager Hua immediately sent her personal aunt Jiayue to report her situation at any time.

This scene happened so quickly that many frightened women did not come back to their senses until this moment.

Who would have thought that such an unlucky thing could happen at this royal family banquet.

If this princess is sick, it will be fine......

I'm afraid she's ......

As if to confirm the thoughts in some people's hearts, Jiayue, who went to the side hall, soon brought the news that Wang Shufei was not ill, but poisoned.

Almost at the same time, Haigui also brought several imperial doctors into the palace and began to check the food and wine on everyone's table.

After half a pillar of incense, a imperial doctor held a plate of delicate pastries and respectfully presented them to Feng Wuyan and Empress Dowager Hua.

It wasn't until this moment that everyone found out that this was a plate of pastries that only had on Wang Shufei's table.

"Chestnut Snowflake Crisp ......"

Ming Cui, who came from the side hall, looked at this plate of pastries in a daze, and her eyes were blood-red.

As we all know, this is their mother's favorite pastry, a must-have in Zhongcui Palace, and a snack that must be prepared for their mothers at every banquet in the palace.

There was only one plate for a banquet, and the poison that had harmed them was sprinkled on the pastry......

Clearly, this was a deliberate poisoning, not some kind of accident.

"Someone, immediately go and call the steward of the Internal Affairs Office and the Imperial Dining Room!"

Empress Dowager Hua frowned, and instantly took out the momentum of the lord of the first palace. Her meaning was obvious, she would never allow anyone to make a small move under her nose.

Soon, a group of people were brought in by Haigui.

The steward of the imperial dining room and the steward of the internal affairs office looked at each other, and their faces became more and more ugly.

Since the new emperor ascended the throne, this is the first time such a thing has happened in the palace.

If it's a harem battle, it's just at such an important banquet......

"Empress Dowager, all matters in the Internal Affairs Office are being handled according to the instructions of the queen mother, so the ingredients and minions have been checked by others......"

The steward of the Ministry of Internal Affairs explained tremblingly, and at the same time presented a series of evidence to prove his innocence.

According to the statement of the hospital after careful examination, the poison should have been sprinkled after the snowflake cake was made, and the poison was on the outside of the crisp rather than inside the crisp.

In other words, the person who poisoned the snow cake was the person who might have come into contact with this plate of snow cake from the time the snow cake came out of the pot until Wang Shufei ate it.

Soon, the grandmother who was in charge of making pastries, the palace maid who was in charge of delivering pastries, and the people who had been close to Concubine Wang's table were all taken out separately and knelt neatly in front of the Queen Mother Hua.

"Niangniang, who do you think did it?"

Looking at the palace people who shouted grievances, the snowfall that had been watching the drama for a long time finally couldn't help it.

She doesn't know anything about harem and politics, but maybe they do!

Then she saw that Xiao Xiruo was not salty and said lightly:

"The dog moves."

Snowfall: "? ”

Well, when she didn't ask......

Automatically ignoring the depressed snowfall, Xiao Xiruo continued to watch the show with his chest hugged.

Why don't you say that the previous queen mothers are palace fighting champions?

Under the Empress Dowager Hua's salute before the soldiers, various hints and warnings, the palace people quickly stopped shouting grievances and began to narrate everything they knew one by one.

They racked their brains to recall the plate of snowflake cakes, trying to find a point to exonerate themselves.

In fact, anyone with a discerning eye can see that these people are not murderers.

Why?

Because Jiayue has checked their resumes, they are all clean and have no grudges with Concubine Wang Shu.

Just ask such a few soft-spoken minions, what reason do they have to poison their masters?

Finally, the grandmother, who was about to be dragged down, remembered something.

She said that when the snowflake cake was just out of the cage, a palace maid from Zhongcui Palace appeared near her. She thought that the other party was here to urge her, so she said to the other party to wait a minute.

But the maid did not answer her, but smiled at her, and soon left.

According to this grandmother, because Princess Wang Shufei likes good-looking plates, she left Xuehua Crisp for a short time in order to change to a good-looking one......

And with the inspiration of this grandmother, several eunuchs and palace maids who were on duty in the imperial dining room also suddenly remembered that they also seemed to have seen the palace maid that the grandmother said.

"She didn't sneak in, but she did stay with Mama for a while."

"Yes, yes, she was nearby when Mama left the table......"

"The minion has seen her before, she is the palace maid of Zhongcui Palace, it seems that her name is Ruolai......"

……

With the memories of the eunuchs and palace maids, the red-eyed crying Ming Cui finally couldn't sit still.

Everyone saw her rush towards Xiao Xiruo with a brisk stride, and then grabbed a person's hair behind her, dragging this person directly in front of everyone's eyes.

"Isn't it her?"

"Tell me, isn't it her!"

Ming Cui's hysterical questioning frightened the palace people into turning pale. But when they looked at the man who Mingcui had pulled in front of them, the whiteness was quickly replaced by ecstasy.

It's her!

That's her!

This group of palace people spoke in unison, but the faces of everyone in Changle Palace changed, and they all looked at the person who was grabbed by Ming Cui in disbelief.

Because she is none other than the new palace maid who has just arrived at Changle Palace, the cuckoo.

"Sure enough, it's you slut!"

Ming Cui slapped Du Juan's face hard, she grew up with Concubine Shu since she was a child, and at this moment she longed to strangle the murderer in front of her.

Fortunately, Jiayue immediately asked someone to drag her away, and the cuckoo fell to the ground weakly.

At this moment, the corners of her mouth were bloody and her hair was messy, her delicate face was slightly swollen, and she was embarrassed......

However, unlike the group of panicked palace people just now, she was very calm, calmly looking at the emperor and the queen mother above, and she didn't have the slightest intention of arguing for herself.

"Did you do it?"

Empress Dowager Hua stared at her and asked coldly.

Hearing this, Du Juan actually glanced sideways at Xiao Xiruo, and the gratitude in his eyes flashed.

"The Empress Dowager Qiqi made it by a slave."

The neatness of her admission made everyone present in an uproar.

Obviously, she didn't intend to hide it in the first place.

"The slave maid is from Zhongcui Palace, and she has been tortured and humiliated by the lady concubine in every way. Now that he has the virtuous lord of the noble concubine, he still can't forget the hatred in his heart. The concubine is unkind, and the slave and maid have no righteousness to talk about. ”

Since the cause and effect are so clear, is it possible to convict?

Everyone thought to themselves.

However, at this moment, there was a doctor outside the hall who came quickly, and said to the Empress Dowager Hua with a solemn face:

"Empress Dowager Qiyu, the one in the lady concubine is likely to be the poisonous Ganlu of Beiyiqi......"
