There was still residual soup on the soup bowl, and the red crane crown was highly poisonous. The imperial doctor came forward and tested it with a silver needle.

When the silver needle was inserted into the wet tablecloth, the silver needle also turned black.

The queen's face was ashen. She didn't know how many times she had done this, so why did the emperor catch her this time?

If it was successful, she would take advantage of the chaos and add some poison into the soup cup in front of her. From the time it was made to the time it was brought to the palace, the soup had passed through the hands of countless people.

She just pretended that someone was trying to harm her as the queen, and she served the soup to the emperor, so that the emperor would be implicated.

Unexpectedly, this time walking by the river, my shoes got wet.

However, she couldn't admit it and cried: "Your Majesty, I have been wronged!"

"Unjustly accused?" The emperor sneered, "I could clearly see the process of opening the mechanism on the armor cover and poisoning the soup bowl. Whoever is serving soup would have their armored little finger above the soup bowl?"

Yes, wearing armor is just for elegance. The little finger is raised high.

What's more, if the mechanism of the armor cover does not open, how will the powder fall out?

However, the queen could not admit this and cried: "Your Majesty, I am really unjust."

The emperor smiled coldly: "This is not your first time. I have often been unwell before, but I can't find out the cause. It must have been poisoned by you using this method!"

"Your Majesty, I am wronged, but I am not!" Even the queen who was caught on the spot didn't admit it, and she couldn't even admit it because of speculation.

The emperor said coldly: "Then let me remind you of Anshenxiang, Qilixiang, and Dr. Zhao! I will save you some face, but don't be shameless."

"Ah?!" The queen lost all her temper this time, and her whole body collapsed to the ground like a deflated rubber ball.

A trace of resentment flashed in the prince's lowered eyes, and then he raised his eyes to look at the queen with disappointment and sadness, "Mother, what is going on?"

The queen knew that she was finished, and murmured: "Yes, it was the queen who did it. The queen just didn't want to see your father being so partial! He saw that the prince like you was so overwhelmed that he was indifferent and even condoned it."

Emperor Dongming said angrily: "It's because he is incompetent, why does he still blame me?"

When the prince heard this, he clenched his hands tightly into fists.

The queen's eyes turned red, and she suddenly burst into anger, and rushed towards the emperor, with a bright dagger in her hand.

The queen was very close to the emperor, and she used all her strength. People far away could not rescue him at all.

"Your Majesty!" Eunuch Zheng was shocked and reached out to pull the queen.

The emperor was also shocked, and his body reflexively leaned back on the large dragon chair. His eyes blurred, and there was a delicate body in his arms.

Then there was a scream, "Ah!"

Concubine Rou's shoulder was cut by the queen's dagger, and blood seeped out.

But everyone can see that if Concubine Rou doesn't pounce, the emperor will not be hurt.

At this time, the queen was also pulled away by Eunuch Zheng, and she fell on the table. There was a sudden crash, and she rolled down the steps, and was surrounded by swarms of royal guards and secret guards.

"Father!"

"Mother concubine!"

The concubines and princes all rushed over with concern, but were blocked by the royal guards and secret guards who were protecting the emperor.

Shangguan Ruoli naturally took the tenth prince and rushed over, and looked at Dongming Ziyu.

Obviously, Dongming Ziyu didn't know that the queen would make such a move today, and this turn of events was beyond his expectation.

The King of Qin exclaimed: "Concubine, the dagger is poisonous!"

The emperor hugged Concubine Rou tightly and shouted anxiously: "Imperial doctor!"

The imperial doctor had been waiting aside for a long time and was busy treating Concubine Rou. Fortunately, the injury was not serious and the treatment was timely, so her life was not in danger.

The emperor was protected by the royal guards in the middle. He pointed at the queen and said angrily: "You vicious woman, how dare you kill the king? Someone, drag her down!"

"Wait!" Dongming Ziyu's cold voice echoed throughout the hall.

The sound was not loud, but it was enough to shock everyone in the hall.

The emperor stared at Dongming Ziyu in surprise: "King Xuan, what are you going to do?"

Not only the emperor was puzzled, but many people, including the queen, felt strange. If something happened to the queen, shouldn't the prince stand up for her?

Dongming Ziyu clasped his fists and said: "Father, before the queen is pulled down, there are some things that need to be clarified by her."

The emperor had a bad premonition, "What's the matter?"

Dongming Ziyu said calmly: "Things about the Hao family and mother and concubine!"

Shangguan Ruoli knew that today's main course was coming, so he held the tenth prince's hand tightly. The tenth prince felt her nervousness and snuggled into her lap.

The queen sat up with difficulty from the ground and looked at Dongming Ziyu with resentful eyes, "That bitch colluded with you and the Hao family to plot to usurp the throne. Is there anything to clarify?"

Dongming Ziyu said coldly: "Were we caught red-handed like today, or did the Hao family and the mother and concubine admit it themselves like you?"

The emperor said coldly: "The evidence for this matter is conclusive. There are letters written by Hao Chengzhi and your mother and concubine as evidence. Weapons were also found from the Hao family. After the matter was exposed, they still wanted to collaborate with the enemy and treason!"

He personally tried this case. Although he felt there were many doubts afterwards, he did not admit that he acted unclearly.

Many people in the hall began to whisper. Back then, hundreds of members of the Hao family were wiped out in one fell swoop. Hao Chengzhi led the children of the Hao family and Prince Xuan to fight against the enemy at the border of Xirong.

After hearing the bad news, he actually wanted to commit treason. Fortunately, he was discovered by the generals in time and was executed in the army.

At that time, Dongming Ziyu was attacked from both sides by Xirong and the Chinese army, and was seriously injured. His roots were damaged and he was inhumane.

After hearing the news, the former queen committed suicide in the cold palace and left her last words: Dongming Ziyu is innocent and the Hao family is innocent.

Dongming Ziyu was escorted back to Beijing by his confidants and went to the emperor to express his grievances. However, due to lack of evidence, he could only bear it temporarily.

When Emperor Dongming saw that he was covered in wounds and could no longer have children, he let him live. He deposed the crown prince, moved out of the East Palace, and named him King Xuan.

Now that old things are being brought up again, could it be that King Xuan has evidence?

"My son said so, of course there is evidence!" Dongming Ziyu said and clapped his hands several times.

I saw two people coming in from outside the hall, they were Mo Xiang and a middle-aged man.

When the prince looked at the middle-aged man, his pupils suddenly shrank.

Everyone retreated to both sides, giving up their position in the center of the hall, quietly waiting for the moment when the truth was revealed.

The middle-aged man knelt down and kowtowed, "The common people congratulated Fan and kowtowed to the emperor. Long live the emperor. Long live the emperor."

He Fan? Lunch box? Shangguan Ruoli wanted to laugh, but the timing was not right, so he held it back.

The emperor looked at His Highness's people coldly and asked: "Who are you?"

He Fan bowed his head and said: "Zhao Min was once a disciple of Li Guozhang. He was good at imitating other people's handwriting, and could fake it to the point of confusing it with authenticity."

There was a commotion among the crowd. Many people knew about this man. He started his business by forging fake paintings and calligraphy and was quite famous in the world of forgery of calligraphy and painting.

It’s just that this person has disappeared in the past few years. What does it mean to appear here now?

The fifth prince was very smart and immediately said: "So, those letters between Hao Chengzhi and the Queen were all created by you?"

He Fan nodded: "That's true!"

The prince said coldly: "Slander, what evidence do you have that you are Li Guozhang's retainer? What evidence do you have that you forged those letters?"
