Just when everyone regarded this scene as an accident and planned to continue eating and drinking, a chamberlain suddenly walked in from outside the door of the main hall, and knelt down with a pounce on the empress, with a cry in his voice, and seemed to be very anxious and said:

"Your Majesty, something happened—"

Hearing this, Qingchen raised his eyebrows and looked at the person who came in, but saw that his eyes made contact with the regent for a moment, and then quickly moved away, although the process was short, but it was still captured by Qingchen.

Listening to the words of the chamberlain, all the people stopped their movements and waited for the follow-up development of the matter.

"What the hell is going on?, what kind of body is it in a panic?" The empress put down her chopsticks heavily, her face already dyed with displeasure, and said angrily.

"Your Majesty, something happened in the imperial dining room, my father-in-law who tried the dishes for Your Majesty...... Dead!" said the chamberlain tremblingly, and then looked up at the Empress, as if waiting for the Empress's monstrous wrath.

"What are you talking about? The father-in-law who tried the dishes for the mother emperor died? Shouldn't this kind of thing be handled by the Internal Affairs Office, and then go to the Criminal Department to investigate the cause of death? Why do you want to alarm the mother emperor?" Nie Xinlin was the first to speak when she heard this.

"Father-in-law Yu, how did Gonggong Yang, who tried the dishes for the empress, die, and how did he die?" Nie Xinrou didn't pay attention to Nie Xinlin's words, but asked the chamberlain first, because she knew that these questions were also what the empress wanted to know, so the empress would definitely not blame her for the crime of trespassing.

"Yes...... It's poisoning. Yu Gong said openly, his body kept shaking, and he seemed to be very afraid.

When the father-in-law's voice fell, the regent turned blue at the moment, his hands couldn't stop shaking, and some white foam came out of his mouth, and then he softened, if it weren't for the maidservant behind her to support her, I am afraid she would have fallen to the ground.

"Uncle Wang, what's wrong with you? Won't you be poisoned too? Come on, quickly pass on the imperial doctor-" When Nie Xinlin saw the appearance of the regent, she immediately shouted loudly, seemingly very anxious.

"Today's meals are all prepared for the mother, and the mother's intention to leave us to eat is also temporary, but why is there poison in this meal? Why did the duke who tried the food for the mother die to die? Why did Uncle Wang also get poisoned? Can I speculate that there are people who want to plot against the mother?" The eldest princess has never said much, but when she encounters such a thing, she does not stay out of it as usual.

Maybe it was because she had encountered the same scene, or maybe it was because she was too worried about the empress, the eldest princess, who had always been in poor health, also exuded a fierce momentum at this time, which made everyone a little shocked, and they didn't even suspect that if the eldest princess had not been injured on the battlefield and was not in good health now, this throne must be hers.

"Someone, give me an investigation, investigate thoroughly, you must find it clearly!" The empress listened to the words of the eldest empress, and her heart became even more angry, and she immediately slapped the table and said.

When Gonggong Yu heard this, he immediately got up from the ground, and then went to pass the emperor's holy decree.

At this time, the imperial physician also hurried in, saluted the empress, and then, at the empress's signal, walked in front of the regent, and then took the regent's pulse.

Everyone held their breath and remained silent, and after a long time, they saw that the imperial doctor let go of the regent's wrist, and said to the empress:

"Your Majesty, the regent is poisoned, this poison is extremely violent, fortunately Wei Chen came in time, and there is still salvation, otherwise, the regent is probably going to return to the western realm. ”

"Then why don't you hurry up and detoxify the regent, if the regent has any three long and two short, I want your head!" the empress commanded, unable to suppress her anger.

The imperial doctor nodded again and again, took out a porcelain bottle from his medicine box, and then gave it to the regent, saying that it was strange, this antidote had an excellent effect, and it didn't take long for the regent's originally dark face to return to normal.

It was just an ordinary family banquet, but something like this happened, and the empress had no interest in continuing, just sat coldly on the side, waiting for her father-in-law's reply.

The others didn't say anything, their eyes swept over the faces of the other people in the field, and they were also guessing in their hearts who was behind this matter and who had something to do with it.

Father-in-law Yu's movements were very fast, and he didn't let the empress wait long, so he walked in with a person tied, knelt in front of the empress, and said:

"Your Majesty, the matter has been clarified, and it is this person who poisoned His Majesty's diet. ”

"Do you want to know why?" asked the Empress.

"I asked clearly, I said that I was instructed by the six princesses to poison His Majesty's favorite dish, so that His Majesty ......" Yu Gong said openly, "Your Majesty forgives the sin, it is this person who admits it personally, and the slave also tells the truth......"

When everyone heard the three words of the Six Princesses, their faces changed a few times, and then their eyes fell on the Six Princesses, with suspicion and schadenfreude in their eyes.

"Joke! How can he say that the Six Imperial Daughters did it, based on his words alone?" It was so coincidental that the Empress had to be suspicious, and then asked the person who was bound, "Tell me, why did the Six Imperial Daughters poison me and poison my favorite dish?"

"Emperor Qi, it is the Sixth Imperial Daughter who said that the Imperial Daughter has abolished the rule of establishing the crown prince and the chief of the Southern Xinjiang since ancient times, so that the opportunity for His Royal Highness the Sixth Imperial Highness has been greatly reduced, and His Royal Highness the Sixth Imperial Highness wants to kill His Majesty while His Majesty has not had time to make a will, and with the prestige accumulated in the court and the people in the past, he will successfully ascend to the throne——" The man said, "Your Majesty, the slave also acts according to orders, and the slave is wronged——"

The eunuch's voice fell, and even the empress's face changed, looking at Nie Xinyao, her eyes were full of disappointment, and then she shouted angrily:

"Rebel girl, what else do you have to say? Fortunately, you don't know that I have been allergic recently, so I can't eat this dish, but let your Uncle Wang eat it by mistake, otherwise, do you really want to do such a thing as killing the king and killing the mother?"

"Does the mother emperor believe that this matter was done by the ministers just by virtue of the words of this eunuch?" does the mother think that the sons and daughters are for the throne and ignore the relatives and relatives?" Nie Xinyao did not say that she did not do these things, but asked the empress these two questions, and then knelt in front of the empress and said, "If the mother emperor thinks that the son is so, then kill the son to set an example, and the son has nothing to say." ”

"You!" the empress was furious, pointed at Nie Xinyao, and only said this one word.

"The mother emperor is angry, presumably the six emperor sisters are just confused for a while, and they don't intend to do such a thing, and now the mother emperor is safe, it is better to give the six emperor sisters a chance, if she knows her mistakes and can change them, she will definitely be very good. The second empress spoke, as if persuading the empress.

I usually didn't see the second princess so eloquent, let alone how close she was to Nie Xinyao, but today, somehow, she was actually helping Nie Xinyao speak, which surprised everyone in the audience.

But only Qingchen knew that Nie Xinyi was fulfilling the promise made with the regent, looking for a suitable opportunity to help out a few words.

Nie Xinyi's words, on the surface, were helping Nie Xinyao exonerate, but in fact, they were adding fuel to the fire, saying "the mother emperor is safe and sound", which made the anger in the empress's heart creep up, and even thought that if she hadn't been able to eat this dish recently, I'm afraid it would be herself who is unconscious now.

Thinking like this, the disappointment in Nie Xinyao in my heart deepened.

"I never thought that the good daughter I cultivated would do such a vicious thing, and I stopped the fratricidal fighting between your sisters, so you came to kill me, did you?

"Erchen didn't think so, and this matter was not done by Erchen, and he asked his mother to know it. Nie Xinyao said, "I don't know where this person came from, he blatantly slandered the innocence of Erchen here, Erchen asked the mother emperor to investigate the matter thoroughly again, if the matter is really as this eunuch said, then Erchen is willing to admit his guilt, but if it is not ......"

Nie Xinyao's words were not finished, but her meaning was self-evident, her eyes looked at the chamberlain who testified, and there was an inexplicable light in her eyes, as if she was looking at a dead person.

Such a look made the chamberlain frightened, trembling all over, and almost about to tell everything under this look, but the father-in-law Yu inadvertently bumped into the eunuch from behind, and then the eunuch seemed to come back to his senses and shouted at Nie Xinyao:

"Your Royal Highness the Sixth Emperor, how can you not admit it in the blink of an eye? The minions are also doing things according to your orders, and you also promise that when you become the empress, you will crown the minions as the general manager of the inner house, and the minions will agree to you for a while, fortunately, they did not make a big mistake, otherwise, the minions will die and will not be able to escape the blame......"

"You said that the palace ordered you to do it, do you have evidence? When, where, and how did the palace buy you? Can there be any evidence and physical evidence?" Nie Xinyao is not stupid, knowing that this is the regent who used a bitter trick to frame her, wanting her to die under the empress's knife and treat her in the way of others.

"This ...... The slave has no evidence, the slave is just a eunuch, how dare the slave not listen to the orders of Her Royal Highness ......the Sixth Imperial Daughter?

"Sixth Emperor Sister, sister, let me be fair, if I want to buy a person, I will definitely not let others see it, or leave physical evidence unfavorable to myself, Sixth Emperor Sister asked this, do you know that this eunuch can't produce evidence, and can't testify against you......?"

Nie Xinyi shook her head and sighed as she spoke, as if she disagreed with Nie Xinyao's approach.

Qingchen watched this scene quietly, and couldn't help shaking his head and smiling bitterly, the royal people, all of them are masters of acting, what they say is better than what they sing, such a clumsy strategy, just like in the palace of the great queen before, all the evidence points to Nie Xinyao, isn't it enough to make people suspicious?

And that imperial doctor, what kind of miraculous antidote can there be, and if you can take it, it will be effective immediately? It is nothing more than a pre-arranged coincidence, a coincidence is a coincidence, too many coincidences, she can't think of any other reason except for artificial arrangement. However, the last time it was about the great queen, and the empress was still able to remain fair, but this time it was about her own life, and the empress couldn't be like the last time.

I have to say that the same trick is much more clever for the regent than Nie Xinlin.
