It's not good? The Queen Mother laughed: "Why is it not good? You guys got into trouble in the clothing store. Judging from the situation, this trouble is not small!"
Beibei did not hide it: "It is not a small matter, and it is a huge matter, Grandmother, you have to thank me for this, I have done a great job. We went to the clothing store, and Eunuch Quan asked us to clean it."
"But we were going to look for Aunt Xiya, so we ran away. When we were looking for her, we found a big jar..."
Beibei told the Queen Mother in vivid detail how he discovered the poison and how he escaped here. The Queen Mother was terrified when she heard it.
"How can you, little girl, skip classes and escape to such a dangerous place? Who is so bold? You dare to poison the fabric used to make my clothes. You are trying to poison me."
Firstly, she was heartbroken about what happened to Beibei, and secondly, she was angry. In this imperial palace, someone actually wanted to poison her. She was so law-abiding every day and hadn't done anything bad, yet someone wanted to harm her.
Beibei looked at the Queen Mother's shocked and angry expression and quickly comforted her: "Grandma is fine, we have already found out. No one can hurt you. That maid must be controlled. I think she is very strange."
The Queen Mother looked at the maid with some surprise: "Why is it so strange?"
Beibei frowned and thought: "Because she didn't need to arrest us in such a high-profile manner. If my mother hadn't specifically asked me to memorize the smell of those poisons last time, I wouldn't have discovered it."
"That maid probably didn't recognize me, so if it wasn't me, the poisoning wouldn't necessarily have been discovered. But she made such a fuss just to let people know that the cloth was poisonous. She gave me the feeling that she didn't really want to harm you, but had to do it."
The Queen Mother narrowed her eyes and looked at Bei Bei: "What you said makes sense. If that's the case, then we can just call that maid up and ask her. Then we'll know exactly what's going on."
Then he glanced at Concubine Chen and said, "Concubine Chen, this matter also has your contribution. I will give you a credit."
Concubine Chen looked at the Queen Mother helplessly: "Do you think I need any credit? But what Beibei said just now is right, there is something wrong with that palace maid, I have already taken her down. Interrogate her carefully, maybe she wants to step on others to get to the top!"
"After all, if someone wants to harm someone, the first choice would probably be the queen. I never thought it would be you. The harem is peaceful now. It's very difficult to get promoted. Maybe this new peach will find another way."
"She used this method to get to your side. As for the person she stepped on, if the person wasn't Beibei, she might have succeeded! I think what I said makes sense. Beibei is still young and doesn't understand that some people in the harem will do anything to get to the top."
Beibei's eyes widened. Is there such a thing? Wouldn't it be self-directed and self-acted, and also took someone's life? How terrible: "Interrogate her. I want to see if this palace maid is so scheming."
The Queen Mother looked at Bei Bei and said, "If you are interested in these schemes, the Royal Grandmother can teach you."
Beibei looked at the Queen Mother with a smile, it seems good. The Queen Mother didn't like it very much either, her granddaughter looked like an idiot, it was okay to train her.
But the most important thing at the moment is to interrogate the maid. Soon the maid named Xin Tao was brought up, and Xin Tao knelt in the center of the hall: "This servant greets the Queen Mother."
The Queen Mother was full of gratitude and said, "You are Xin Tao? You look familiar."
At this time, the nanny beside the Queen Mother suddenly spoke up: "Queen Mother, we met this maid last year. Her father was seriously ill at the time, and she couldn't leave the palace to visit him. She cried at the palace gate, and you let her out! I didn't expect her to be so cruel."
It was obvious that this matter had been completely forgotten by the Queen Mother. Xin Tao also spoke up at this time: "Yes, the Queen Mother asked me to go back to see my father. I took the silver and was able to go home. My father also had money to see a doctor. It was the Queen Mother who saved my father's life."
The Queen Mother frowned: "If that's the case, why did you poison me?"
Xin Tao immediately shook her head: "No, I didn't poison you."
The Queen Mother snorted, "You are still trying to argue that you didn't poison me. Do you know who those two eunuchs you wrongly accused are?"
Although Xin Tao was a little confused, she still argued: "They are two young eunuchs who were just selected from the newcomers' room today. I have only seen them once, and I don't know who they are."
Beibei stood there without saying anything. After hearing this, he suddenly said, "Then do you think my voice sounds like one of those two eunuchs?"
When this voice came out, Xin Tao was surprised. This voice belonged to one of the two little eunuchs, but how could it be a girl
Beibei looked at the surprise on Xintao's face and said with a smile: "Those two eunuchs are this princess and Prince Xili. We were just having fun and went to the clothing store to look for someone. You directly framed us and wanted to kill us. It's despicable."
Xin Tao was dumbfounded. She just randomly found two young eunuchs, but she didn't expect that they had such powerful backgrounds, including a princess and a prince from another country.
"It's impossible for the princess to murder the queen mother, but it's not certain for the prince from another country. Maybe he did it."
Beibei snorted, "You are still trying to make excuses. I, Princess Ankang, saw with my own eyes that you brought the white porcelain bottle."
The Queen Mother looked at Xin Tao and said, "Princess Ankang is my granddaughter. You said that the poison was given by the prince of the Northern Kingdom. Let someone check what kind of poison is in it?"
When Beibei heard this, he immediately said, "Grandmother, Xili didn't even get close to the big vat. It wasn't Xili."
The Queen Mother nodded: "I know this, but we have to find out what kind of poison it is. Your name is Xintao, right? You are grateful to me for saving your father's life. I don't care about you poisoning me as long as you tell the truth."
At this time, the imperial physician came over and sent the large vat of dye and cloth to the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother looked at the imperial physician and said, "Go check what kind of poison is in there?"
The imperial physician had no choice but to go up and carefully check. Poison, if this thing appeared in the palace, it would be a big deal. After the examination, the whole person became more serious and looked at the empress dowager.
"Your Highness, I have found out that the toxin in this is a miasma. This toxin usually only appears in high mountains and dense forests and is difficult to extract. But now it is said that someone has extracted it and it has appeared in the palace. We have to investigate."
Miasma? Isn't this a mist? The Queen Mother was a little confused: "Isn't miasma a kind of mist? How come there is also powder? What will happen if I get poisoned by this?"
Seeing that the Queen Mother wanted to know, the Imperial Physician started from the beginning: "Your Majesty, you don't know that most miasma are poisonous gases. But there are also miasma that are physical. It's just that these physical forms are difficult to refine, unless you are a very capable person."
"In addition, the extracted miasma is even more toxic. If used on clothing, it will cause the skin to fester and bleed, eventually leading to death from poisoning."
In recent years, as the Queen Mother aged, she loved beauty, and everyone in the palace knew it. Now someone actually poisoned the Queen Mother, causing her whole body to fester. What a vicious thing it was.
This is something that only someone with a deep hatred could do. The Queen Mother was so angry that she was shaking all over. When she thought about how miserable her fate would be if Beibei didn't find out this time, the Queen Mother couldn't help but pull Beibei.
"Beibei, it's a good thing you discovered it by accident this time, otherwise you wouldn't have a royal grandmother."
Beibei's mouth twitched: "Grandmother, that won't happen. My mother is a miracle doctor, have you forgotten that? Don't worry, nothing will happen. Since we have discovered it, let's catch the other party this time and prevent him from harming people again."
What she said made sense. The Queen Mother looked at the head of the guards and said, "This matter must be thoroughly investigated. It is really too vicious. And you, Xin Tao, if you are willing to tell me everything, I can spare your life, but you cannot stay in the palace after that."
Xin Tao looked at the Queen Mother. She didn't know that the poison was so harmful. She kowtowed to the Queen Mother three times and said, "My Queen Mother, I really don't have the heart to harm you. But someone threatened the lives of my parents and my family, so I poisoned you."
"I heard the imperial physician say that this poison is so toxic. I'm afraid my family members have already died. I don't even know what that person looks like. Whenever he appears in front of me, he is masked."
"He brought my father's finger and threatened me that if I didn't do what he said, he would kill me. I saw clearly that there was a wound on his left wrist that looked like a cross. I attacked the Queen Mother, so I am guilty and I should die to atone for my sin."
After she finished speaking, before anyone could react, she bumped into a big pillar, causing a bloody head injury. The imperial physician looked at her wound and was unsure for a moment whether he should go up to treat her.
The Concubine Chen glanced at the standing guard and said, "Why don't you take him away and deal with him? Is he an eyesore if he stays here?"
The guards came forward and dragged the person away. Without medical treatment, he was doomed. After dragging Xin Tao away, they waited for her to die before sending her to the mass grave.
The Queen Mother frowned and said, "Send someone to check who is in Xin Tao's family and whether they are still alive. If they are caught, catch the kidnappers, and if they are still alive, try to rescue them."
No matter what, this family suffered this sin because of her.
