“Concubine Dan has a relapse. You guys come here to help her go to rest!” The Emperor Tianlong could only come up with this excuse to help him out.
But no one would believe that.
Because her whole palm had turned black!
Maybe he could stick to his excuse, but the sixth prince would not buy that. After all, for a prince, his most reliable back was his mother.
“Father, my mother is poisoned! Please call the imperial physician to save her!” Beiming Yue made his way through the crowd and rushed to the concubine.
Without seeing it clearly, Beiming Yue came close and took his mother’s hand, and was startled that her hand had been severely poisoned.
The lie was exposed, and the Emperor could not play fool with Beiming Xuan, who was coldly staring at him.
“Call the imperial physician!”
Because the physician must accompany the Emperor, so it did take much time for them to find the physician.
Actually, everyone could tell that the concubine had been poisoned, but when two imperial physicians were coming, the Emperor still told them, “Carefully check my concubine for me, doesn’t she have headache before?”
Really? Did headache have any connection with her hand becoming black?
Anyway, they still carefully checked the condition of the concubine.
At this moment, the only answer that the Emperor wanted to hear was that she wasn’t poisoned.
However, their answer was negative, “Sorry, my Emperor. The concubine has been poisoned.”
He frowned!
In terms of their answer, this zither must be poisonous.
Sending some poisonous gifts to Beiming Xuan was the worst idea, even worse than directly announcing that he would kill him.
His expression was gloomy, because he hated the reality that Beiming Xuan was better than him.
As a mighty king of a country, he used such a dirty method which was also exposed by the crowd. It was a shame for him!
But he didn’t do that actually.
“You guys! Come to check the rest two treasures! I must know the result at once!”
They checked them quickly, and the results came soon.
“My Emperor, both of them are highly poisonous.”
He was extremely upset now, and turned to Beiming Xuan, who stared at him with anger.
What an embarrassing moment!
At this high time, no matter who did that, he would be regarded as the culprit anyway.
“Check for me now! Check everyone who has touched those treasures before! I must find out the criminal!”
Now, the only way for him was to shift the focus upon someone else, so that he could have chance to prove his innocence.
Eyes blazing, he pointed to his eunuch Wu An, roared mercilessly, “ You first!”
Wu An fell down on the ground out of fear.
Now his guards and two physicians were busy in arresting and checking anyone suspicious.
“Brother, I think it will be much easier for us to find out the criminal by testing what kind of poison it is.”
Beming Xuan spoke suddenly, and his voice was as cold as icy, which made the Emperor nervous.
He looked at Beiming Xuan, whose eyes were as dark as the black hole which could suck everything in but was hard to see through.
Was he suspecting him? Or he was provoking him?
Or he was just trying to help him out by giving a solution!
