Chapter 240
The emperor nodded, then looked at the eldest prince again: "Is there anything the emperor wants to say?"

"My son is only speculating according to common sense, and I hope the emperor will find out." The eldest prince replied respectfully.

The emperor nodded again, "Is it gone?"

"No more." The eldest prince nodded without hesitation.

"Okay." The opportunity is given to you, so don't blame yourself for failing if you don't repent.

The emperor nodded again, and looked at the people in the hall this time: "Who else has anything to say? Who else thinks it was the poison of the Marquis of Shengping."

All the ministers shook their heads and replied: "I dare not jump to conclusions. This is a serious matter, and I hope the emperor will order a thorough investigation, and don't wrong good people."

"I knew that someone would be poisoned at this palace banquet after the fruits and desserts were served." The emperor stood up and walked down the dragon ladder slowly.

Concubine Yang's body swayed when she heard this, and the eldest prince hurried to stabilize her.

The two looked at each other, and both saw two words in each other's eyes: It's over!
The ministers looked at each other in blank dismay, the emperor already knew about it?No wonder the detox soup was delivered in a blink of an eye, as if it had been prepared in advance.

The emperor saw everyone's reaction before continuing to speak: "Master Rui'an, please tell me what is going on with this poison."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Xiao'er was blessed and said calmly, "I have read in ancient books that seabuckthorn, jujube, wild jujube, orange, kiwi, prickly pear, hawthorn and other fruits cannot be mixed with shrimp. Crabs and other crustacean seafood taken together in large quantities will produce arsenic and even poisoning. Among them, sea buckthorn, kiwi fruit, jujube, hawthorn and shrimp are eaten together. But it’s okay to eat a little, after all, arsenic can sometimes be used as medicine.”

After hearing this, everyone immediately understood, no wonder everyone ate at the same table, some people were poisoned while others were fine.

Those who were not poisoned secretly rejoiced that they were too full at the beginning and couldn't eat any more fruits and desserts.

Or maybe I'm glad that I don't like to eat this sweet and sour fruit, and I only ate some grapes, honeydew melon and the like.

"County Lord Rui'an found out that most of these fruits were on the table, so he sent someone to tell me." Shangguan Xuanyi said.

At this time, the ministers all remembered that during the dessert period, there were eunuchs talking in the ears of the emperor and the sixth prince.

Naturally, the female relatives also remembered that the maids beside the queen also talked to the queen.

Then I remembered that the sea buckthorn juice, jujube cake and hawthorn cake were specially prepared by Concubine Yang at the queen's table.

Thinking of this, what else is unknown to everyone!No wonder Concubine Yang Guifei didn't drink the juice herself, even the cakes made by the queen herself felt as uncomfortable as eating poison!
At this time, the queen also stood up and bowed her knees and said: "The concubine is guilty. This palace banquet was organized by the concubine, which caused so many ministers and wives to be poisoned. I beg the emperor to give me a punishment."

"Get up and talk, those who don't know are not guilty." The emperor frowned slightly when he saw the queen half squatting, such a posture should not be exhausting.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." The queen stood up.

Concubine Yang Gui secretly hated the queen when she saw her acting like this, so she would act hypocritically!She also quickly knelt down: "Your Majesty, the ministers and concubines are also guilty, and the concubines who eat food at this banquet also have their own ideas, and beg the emperor to grant their sins."

"Okay, since the noble concubine has pleaded guilty! Come here! Delegate the noble concubine and empress to a cloak and throw her into the cold palace!" The emperor's face turned cold suddenly, and he said coldly.

After hearing this, Concubine Yang kowtowed in fright: "Your Majesty forgive me, my concubine was wronged! The concubine is just as careless as the queen! I don't know that those who eat the same food will be poisoned!"

The queen was fine, so why was she thrown into the cold palace.

"Father calm down, mother and concubine also did it unintentionally, isn't it true that those who don't know are not guilty?" The eldest prince also hurriedly pleaded.

How could the royal father always be so eccentric!

"Those who don't know? Who is it that Jinkou directly judged that the poison is arsenic? Big Brother, you will not forget it!" Shangguan Xuanhao's face was full of sarcasm.

"That's just speculation." The First Prince glared at Shangguan Xuanhao angrily.

"People who are poisoned in the world are almost like this when they have an attack, and there are thousands of kinds of poisons. Why didn't the emperor talk about other things, but guess the arsenic?"

"I……"

Shangguan Xuanhao didn't give the eldest prince a chance to quibble, and chased after him: "Forget about the seabuckthorn fruit. As far as I know, the queen mother originally wanted to prepare Buddha Jumping over the Wall as the main course of the palace banquet, and it was Yang Chongyi who proposed to eat seafood. The food, as well as those hawthorns and jujubes, which are not on the table, were all made by Yang Chongyi! How can this be explained?"

Shangguan Xuanhao changed his words really quickly. He was called Chongyi right after he was demoted.

"The concubine really has good intentions, and she wants to calm everyone down." Concubine Yang was full of grievances.

"In previous years, most of the fruits in palace banquets were fruits with good meanings. Why is it that most of the fruits on the seafood feast this year are poisonous if eaten with shrimps and crabs?! One is a coincidence, two, three, four... Who will believe that this is not a deliberate arrangement? Do you need me to call the imperial chef to find out?" Shangguan Xuanhao hesitated!
Concubine Yang fell to the ground after hearing this, she knew that her situation was over, all these people wanted to die!Even if you are unintentional, you will be charged with crimes!

Even the emperor whom he adores wholeheartedly, he blamed himself for giving him a love potion while he was drinking and drunk with his father and brother and resting at his home, making him ashamed of his beloved woman for the rest of his life!

If she hadn't gotten pregnant the first time, she believed that he would never have accepted her back then.

She has been alone in this cold palace for so many years, and what is the difference from living in the cold palace?
But her emperor's son can't do anything, he is the eldest grandson of the emperor, and he is like a prince!

She miscalculated tonight and dragged Huang'er into the water. I didn't expect that others would have been waiting for her to take the bait!

How could it be possible for the imperial physician not to say what kind of poison was poisoned after diagnosing the pulse, not to mention that he even drank the detoxification soup at that time!
Thinking of this, she bit her lower lip, "That's right, I did it alone. The emperor degraded my entire clan to be commoners, exiles, labor reforms, slaves slaves! And I heard that I My father and mother have passed away, I just have hatred in my heart and want to take revenge!"

"Concubine Mother!" The eldest prince looked at Concubine Yang in disbelief!Is she crazy?How can these words be said!

"You don't need to say more, the first prince. It's the concubine mother who has troubled you. The concubine mother accidentally slipped her mouth just now, saying that the poison in everyone is arsenic, and she dragged you into the water. You are kind in nature and always filial. You have never disobeyed me. Parents, you couldn't bear to expose the mother concubine and said that you guessed the poison of arsenic. You didn't talk to me at all just now. But this thing was indeed done by the concubine mother on purpose. The matter has come to this point, and the concubine mother's crime is indisputable. .Your Majesty, one person does things and one person is responsible. I hope that the Emperor will see clearly and the concubine will plead guilty! The concubine is willing to be relegated to the cold palace. From now on, I will eat fast and chant Buddha, pray for the emperor and queen, and atone for myself!"
