”Hua Fei!” Consort Rong stepped forward to interrupt her, saying angrily, ”Didn't you see that the emperor is almost at his wit's end? Why did Master Ke want to wrongly accuse her when he had no grudges and no grudges with Mu Fei? How could this be false? ”
Imperial Concubine Hua stifled her words. The empress dowager cast a glance at her and said, ”The empress is right. Lord Ke has no reason to go to Mufei. Imperial Concubine Hua, don't be soft-hearted. Saving the emperor is more important.”
Hua Fei could only helplessly return to her original position. She looked at Lin Mofan who was crying his heart out as she held onto the big round bun by the door tightly. He repeated the words again and again, ”I didn't poison him, so don't kill me …”
The empress dowager's heart was suddenly filled with uneasiness as she walked out to face Mu Fei. ”Mufei, don't blame me for being ruthless. Your life is absolutely insignificant when compared to the emperor's. I can only protect the emperor.”
”But I'm innocent, there's no use in killing me …” Lin Mofan burst into tears. Tears streamed down her face. The empress dowager shot a glance at the guards, signaling them to hurry up and make their move. The guards immediately grabbed Lin Mufan from the pillar and dragged her out of the room.
Lin Mu Fan screamed out as he struggled to break free from the steel-like hand. Just when she was in the most pain and helpless state, a group of officials suddenly walked in from the entrance. The leader of the guards was holding a tray with the yellow brocade in his hand as he quickly walked towards the Qing He Palace.
The attendants knelt in front of the empress dowager and said respectfully, ”Esteemed Empress Dowager is fortunate. The emperor's antidote has been delivered.” With that, he picked up the tray covered with brocade.
Everyone present was stunned, all of them staring at him in shock. Even the crying Lin Mu Fan quieted down as he stared at the attendant and the tray in his hand with a face full of shock.
”Where did you get this?” he asked. How could it be the antidote? It was Mu Fei who poisoned the blood poison, and Mu Fei is still standing here, alive and well.
With a calm expression, he said, ”Sir Ke, a few unfamiliar men just arrived at the entrance to the palace. After handing this thing over, they left. They said that it was the antidote for the blood poison the emperor had been infected with, so if we miss tonight, the emperor would definitely …” He did not finish his sentence and lowered his head.
However, she quickly raised her head again and said, ”The empress dowager won't hold back. Someone said that even if Esteemed Empress Dowager Mu poisoned her, it would be too late to capture her to concoct the medicine. Your majesty won't wait that long.”
”I did not use the blood poison …” Lin Mofan mumbled in a daze. He then fell to the ground and started to wail. She didn't use the blood poison, but she knew who did it. She knew it all along!
The empress dowager cast a sidelong glance at the officer before her. For a moment, she did not know whether she should believe his words or not. Upon receiving his orders, Ke Meng quietly walked over and removed the brocade on the tray. Angele grabbed the white bottle and opened it. He took out the red pill and sniffed it.
”Esteemed Empress Dowager, this medicine came for no reason, so it might not be believable.” Ke Meng said. The poison was obviously administered by Mu Fei, so how could anyone else have an antidote? He did not believe the medicine sent by a stranger!
The empress dowager also picked up the bottle, but she didn't pour out the pills. She only turned the bottle two times to listen. ”That's right, I don't believe it either. The person who delivered the medicine didn't even dare to meet with the emperor, so how could the medicine that was sent be trusted? All of you can leave for me! ”
She threw the bottle with a 'bang' onto the limestone floor. The sound of the bottle shattering was heard. The blood-red pill rolled on the ground in front of Lin Mofan.
She reached out and picked up the pill, which rolled across her jade-like palm like a bead of blood. Her tears fell on this bead of blood, wetting the pill that contained her entire life.
”What are you all still waiting for? Why aren't you rushing off to do something? ” Ke Meng suddenly reprimanded the guards. Only then did the guards react. However, just when they were about to escort Lin Mu Fan, they were shocked. Everyone quickly realized that Lin Mufan was no longer in the midst of the chaotic crowd.
”Where's Mu Fei?” The empress dowager was the first to ask anxiously, ”Where is she? Don't let her get away!
”This servant doesn't know, he was clearly here just now.” The attendants looked around and said.
”Hurry and find her for me, hurry!” The empress dowager pointed and pointed at them, and everyone in the room immediately began to search for her. At the head of the garden, Qing He Palace had already left.
Amidst the chaos, a servant girl suddenly said, ”Esteemed Empress Mu went in to see the emperor.”
”What's she doing in there again?” The empress dowager unhappily scolded him and led the way into the room. When the group returned to the Cabinet, Lin Mufan just happened to put the pill into Longze's mouth.
”What are you doing …!” The empress dowager was flustered and exasperated as she rushed up to him. ”You gave the pill to the emperor to eat? ”Lin Mu Chen, you actually gave the pill to the Emperor to eat?”
Lin Mofan suddenly took a step back and hid in a corner. He looked at the empress dowager with a frightened expression and stammered, ”Your Majesty, he …” He needed the antidote, or the emperor would die … ”He'll die very soon …”
