The Cining Palace, which has always been quiet, is particularly uneasy at this moment. Aunt Zheng, who served the Empress Dowager, looked nervous and solemn. Seeing Empress Xue and others coming, she hurriedly said, "After the Empress Dowager used kumquats and ginger honey in the afternoon, she suddenly started vomiting and her face was pale. When I saw it, I immediately summoned the Imperial Dowager to treat it. Unexpectedly, before the Imperial Dowager arrived, the Empress Dowager fainted."

Suddenly, Empress Xue's delicate eyebrows froze, "Doctor Zhang, is the Empress Dowager awake?"

Doctor Zhang ran out of the inner room and was sweating profusely, "Go back to the Queen, there is not yet!"

"What's going on with the Queen Mother?" The eldest princess also looked anxious, "I also saw Queen Mother Mother yesterday. She is still fine, why did she suddenly get sick?"

The emperor also rushed over after hearing the news. His noble bright yellow aura was amazing. Everyone immediately knelt down and said, "See Your Majesty."

"Imperial Doctor, what's wrong with the Empress Dowager?" As soon as the emperor spoke, he had the courage to be arrogant without anger.

Before the emperor arrived, Doctor Zhang had already exchanged opinions with several Doctors. In the face of the emperor's inquiry, Doctor Zhang said tremblingly: "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager does not look like an acute illness, but more like..."

"What is it?" The emperor suddenly roared when he saw that he was still hesitating.

Doctor Zhang was startled and finally said something to his mouth, "It seemed like he was poisoned."

Poisoned? Someone dared to poison the Empress Dowager? As soon as this said, everyone was shocked. The emperor was furious, "Are you sure?"

Doctor Zhang was shocked by the emperor's reaction, and his facial muscles began to twitch due to tension. "Actually... I am not very sure..."

The emperor's face darkened, "How come the Imperial Hospital has raised all the waste? Why don't you go and check it out quickly?"

"Yes, yes!" Doctor Zhang's sweat beads as big as beans on his forehead fell down, and he said in panic: "Weichen will go right away."

"No need." Chu Li walked out of the inner room and said slowly: "The Empress Dowager is indeed poisoned, a poison called Lanhuicao."

The eldest princess was shocked, "What kind of poison is Lanhuicao?"

"The fragrance of orchid grass is elegant and not easy to detect. Eating it in small amounts will cause dizziness, but it can recover after a little rest. However, excessive consumption will cause vomiting and coma, severe damage to the vitality, and in severe cases, life will be difficult to protect."

The emperor slapped the table suddenly, and the solid table cracked in response. "Check me, how did this orchid grass get mixed into the Cining Palace?"

As soon as the news of the Empress Dowager's emergency illness came out, concubines with status in the harem flocked to Cining Palace, Hui Concubine, Ning Concubine, De Concubine Chun Concubine and others.

It was related to the Queen Mother, the emperor's mother, the shrewd and capable Queen Xue did not dare to neglect it. Not long after, it was found that someone had added orchid grass to the Queen Mother's favorite sweet kumquat and ginger honey.

Empress Xue acted decisively, from the palace servants in the imperial kitchen to the palace servants who delivered sweets, and all the palace servants in the Cining Palace who could contact kumquats and ginger honey, they were tortured one by one. Soon someone confessed that it was the empress Defei.

Concubine De is the mother of Princess Daiyang. Since Daiyang got married from North Vietnam, Concubine De's presence in the harem has become much weaker, but what no one expected was that she was brave enough to attack the Empress Dowager? The Empress Dowager is her aunt and her backer in the harem!

Is she crazy? Empress Xue looked at Concubine De, her eyes sharply, showing the majesty of the Empress of the Central Palace. "Concubine De, you are so brave!"

Looking at the murderous aura in the emperor's eyes, Concubine De's legs became weak. Unexpectedly, it was found out so quickly. Now she had to refuse to admit it and hurriedly defended, "I am wronged..."
