C249 (2/2)
The imperial physician was terrified by Ye Feihan's question. Say it or not? Things had happened a long time ago, and the empress and imperial concubine had already started fighting not one or two days ago. If the empress and Imperial Concubine Jin reported truthfully, neither of them would have spared the Imperial Physician Bureau, but if they didn't, they definitely wouldn't have made it through today.
The empress nodded to the imperial physician. Ye Feihan was already suspicious. If he continued to conceal it, it would only be the opposite. It would be better to just say it aloud, as she knew all of the suspicious feelings that had plagued her husband and wife for so many years like the back of her hand.
He might as well hide it and face it. With his suspicious personality, telling the truth would actually play a role of concealing what he wanted to do.
”The Imperial Concubine and the other Imperial Concubines were all struck by 'General Li'.”
will leave...
Ye Feihan sneered. Jiang Li was a chronic poison used by his father when he secretly executed Ye Lianhe's father, Ye Mingchen. It was colourless, tasteless, and extremely poisonous. If it was just one point a day, it would last for at least a month.
What a sinister scheme!
Imperial Concubine Jin's eyes were filled with tears. If she hadn't inadvertently discovered this abnormality after entering the palace so many years ago, her bones would have turned cold.
”Your Majesty.” She gently shouted, ”Ye Feihan, hold back your tears.”
Ye Feihan held her in his arms and looked at the empress with a cold gaze, as if they were ice and snow in the middle of winter.
”Go check if the empress has been poisoned.”
The distrust towards the empress of Ye Feihan left her heart aching. The young couple she and Ye Feihan had once loved each other deeply. However, things had unknowingly taken a turn for the worse for the worse.
”Does the emperor not believe in chenqie?”
The imperial physician wiped away his cold sweat as he gingerly took the Queen's pulse.
”Your Majesty, the empress also has this poison.”
Impossible! How could this be?!
The originally calm Imperial Concubine Jin was thrown into chaos. Impossible! Yesterday, she specially bribed the imperial physician to investigate. The empress clearly wasn't poisoned!
”Are you sure?” Ye Feihan frowned.
Imperial Concubine Jin was covered in cold sweat. She had used a counter trick to lure the empress into a trap she had prepared beforehand. She had never expected that the empress would have someone backing her up.
She knew the empress must have held back, but she never thought she'd be involved in order to trip her up.
”Why is His Majesty still unwilling to trust chenqie?” The Queen smiled wryly.
”Chenqie already knows the medicinal properties of the poison. No one would give such a potent poison to themselves, right?” This concubine only wants to know what she has done wrong in the past few years to cause His Majesty to distrust this concubine. ”
Why? Ye Feihan was also not clear. Probably out of guilt. Equivalency changes the heart of the storyteller, but the heart of the storyteller changes. The empress was truly wronged when she reflected on what she had done at midnight.
He was truly afraid, afraid of her revenge.
Seeing that Ye Feihan's attitude had begun to loosen, Imperial Concubine Jin felt that it wasn't good. He quickly knelt down and kowtowed while holding the child in tears. Since he had already chosen to go against the empress, he could only gamble everything he had today.
”It's all my fault! Your consort is guilty, causing Your Majesty to have a grudge with the Empress. ”
”Scram, I have to deal with His Majesty. It has nothing to do with you! ”
The empress was so angry that her face turned blue. She just hated why the assassin didn't kill her with a single slash.
After being interrupted by Imperial Concubine Jin, Ye Feihan returned to his senses and sent his men to investigate. ”Even if you have to turn the palace upside down, find out. I want to see the results in two hours!”
