Chapter 304 The Legend of Zhen Huan Original Female Lead 88
"What's mixed in the chestnut cake?!"
Chu Huan was startled by this sudden change and subconsciously hid behind Yinzhen, sticking her head out and curiously observing Concubine Qi's reaction.
Concubine Qi was obviously frightened by Yinzhen's sudden anger. She knelt on the ground, trembling, her eyes dodging, but she was still trying to argue: "Your Majesty, I...I don't know...I made this chestnut cake myself, there is absolutely no problem..."
"No problem?" Yinzhen sneered and kicked over the food box. The exquisite chestnut cake rolled to the ground, covered with dust, and instantly lost its original tempting color.
"Come here! Bring this plate of chestnut cake to me for investigation! Let me see who is so bold as to poison the palace!"
As soon as he finished speaking, two guards came forward and brought the plate of chestnut cakes away.
"Your Majesty, please spare me! Your Majesty, please spare me!" When Concubine Qi saw that the truth was revealed, she panicked. She knelt on the ground and kowtowed continuously for mercy. Her forehead was soon broken and blood flowed down her cheek, which looked particularly shocking.
Chu Huan looked at this scene and felt secretly happy, but she remained expressionless. She still hid behind Yinzhen, looking scared.
Yinzhen looked at Concubine Qi coldly, there was no mercy in his eyes, only endless coldness and disgust.
"Concubine Qi, you'd better pray that the Imperial Concubine is okay, otherwise, I will want your entire family to be buried with her!"
When Concubine Qi heard the words "the whole family will be buried with her", she collapsed to the ground completely. She knew that this time she was really finished.
Yinzhen no longer paid attention to her, turned around and hugged Chuhuan in his arms, and comforted her softly: "Don't be afraid, Huan'er, I'm here, no one dares to hurt you."
Chu Huan snuggled into his arms, feeling his warm embrace, a sly smile on her lips.
"Your Majesty, I'm so scared..." She said timidly, her voice so soft and gentle that Yinzhen's heart melted.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here." Yinzhen patted her back gently and comforted her softly.
Concubine Qi was dragged away, her cries echoed in the empty courtyard, but no one dared to step forward to plead for mercy.
"Your Majesty, I'm so scared..." She said timidly, her voice soft and gentle, like a frightened little rabbit, so lovable.
Yinzhen hugged her tighter with concern, and said softly, "Don't be afraid, I'm here. Someone, call the imperial physician!"
The imperial physician arrived quickly and nervously took Chu Huan's pulse.
"Your Highness is in good health, she just had a little shock. I will prescribe a tranquilizing soup for you, and you will be fine after taking it."
"That's good." Yinzhen finally breathed a sigh of relief and said gently to Chuhuan.
"Huan'er, go back to Yongshou Palace and rest first. I will come to see you later."
Chu Huan nodded obediently and watched Yinzhen leave.
As soon as he walked out of Yongshou Palace, the gentleness on Yinzhen's face disappeared instantly, replaced by coldness.
"Su Peisheng." He ordered in a cold voice.
"Go check! Check carefully for me! Find out who instructed Concubine Qi to do this!"
"Yes!" Su Peisheng took the order and left.
Yinzhen returned to the Palace of Tranquil Longevity, and the scene just now kept replaying in his mind, and he was filled with anger.
Concubine Qi has always been timid, ignorant, and stupid... This time she actually dared to attack Huan'er. There must be someone behind her!
He would never allow anyone to hurt Chu Hua, not even a strand of hair!
"What? You said Concubine Qi poisoned Concubine Li?! And the Emperor found out?!"
"Empress..." Jianqiu looked at Yixiu with great concern.
Yixiu shook her head and sighed, "I am worried about that idiot Concubine Qi!"
Yixiu slammed the teacup on the table, splashing tea everywhere.
"That idiot actually used the real-name system to poison people, fearing that the emperor wouldn't be able to find out it was her!"
Jianqiu couldn't help but take a breath when he heard this.
"How does the emperor deal with this now?"
"What else can I do? The Imperial Concubine is very precious in the Emperor's heart. Just because she was a little frightened, the Emperor flew into a rage and ordered a thorough investigation of the matter. He also wanted to bury Concubine Qi's entire family with her!" Yixiu became more and more angry as she spoke, her chest heaving violently.
"This fool, Concubine Qi, is more likely to cause trouble than to help. She has actually caused me so much trouble!"
Seeing this, Jianqiu hurried forward and gently stroked Yixiu's back, whispering to comfort her: "Your Majesty, calm down. Now we should think about how to deal with the aftermath."
Yixiu took a deep breath and tried to calm the anger in her heart.
"You are right. The emperor is angry now. I must not be implicated in this matter." A hint of viciousness flashed in Yixiu's eyes.
In the Yangxin Palace, Yinzhen sat in front of the dragon table, holding a secret report in his hand, his face terribly gloomy.
Su Peisheng walked into the hall and bowed: "Your servant pays respect to the emperor."
"How's the investigation going?" Yinzhen's tone was cold, without a trace of emotion.
Su Peisheng replied tremblingly: "Your Majesty, I have already found out that the chestnut cake was indeed made by Concubine Qi herself, and..."
"And what?"
"Moreover, oleander pollen was found in chestnut cakes. That thing can cause miscarriage..." Su Peisheng's voice became lower and lower, almost inaudible.
Yinzhen stood up suddenly, threw the secret report in his hand at Su Peisheng's feet, and roared: "What a Concubine Qi! She is so brave!"
Su Peisheng was so scared that he fell to his knees, trembling all over and not daring to speak.
"Your Majesty, please calm down!"
These women are so hypocritical and artificial. They will do anything to win favor and gain money!
He missed the gentle, kind and non-competitive Chu Hua even more.
"Su Peisheng!"
"The slave is here."
"Pass on my decree. Concubine Qi has evil intentions and is trying to harm the royal heir. Considering that she is the biological mother of the Third Prince, she will be immediately banished to the cold palace. Her family..."
When Yinzhen said this, his tone paused and a complicated look flashed in his eyes.
"His entire family will be exiled to Ningguta!"
"Whoo!"
Su Peisheng hurried to the cold palace with the imperial edict. At that time, Concubine Qi was hysterically throwing things in the room and cursing at the same time, using all kinds of obscene words that were unbearable to hear.
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! You can't treat me like this! I am innocent!" When Concubine Qi saw Su Peisheng, she rushed over like crazy, but was held on the left and right by the two young eunuchs beside Su Peisheng, unable to move.
Su Peisheng waved the whisk in his hand in disdain and said in a shrill voice: "My queen, please stop making trouble and just accept the order obediently."
"What order? I won't accept it! I want to see the emperor!" Concubine Qi still refused to give up and struggled desperately, trying to break free from the restraints.
Su Peisheng was too lazy to waste words with her, so he unfolded the imperial edict and read it aloud: "In compliance with the will of Heaven, the Emperor proclaims: Concubine Qi Li is evil-minded and has harmed the heir to the throne..."
