Chapter 164 Cang Qiao's reward is not worth it.

Aunt Qin then came in with a plate of silk flowers. She glared at Princess Yuanjia fiercely, and then knelt on the ground with a "pop" sound.

"Your Majesty, the tapestry of silk flowers distributed to the maids of Ci'an Palace half a month ago contains a harsh drug that caused the Queen Mother's heart disease. The tapestry material for these silk flowers was sent by the eldest princess's palace."

With that, she briefly explained the reason why these silk flowers would only be used by the people of Ci'an Palace.

Too many coincidences are naturally not coincidences, but intentional ones.

"Your Majesty, I have invited several imperial doctors to combine this medicine with each other to consult the Queen Mother." Ming Lanruo said calmly.

Several imperial doctors walked in. This time, they were Ming Lanruo's witnesses, proving Ming Lanruo's statement to Emperor Ming——

"Your Majesty, that drug is a banned aphrodisiac in the previous palace. It is taboo for people with heart problems, but it is almost colorless and odorless. I and Princess Ming searched for a long time before they found some residue."

Grandma Qin finally couldn't help crying and said: "The eldest princess must have deliberately harmed the queen mother because of the Queen Mother's humiliation of Princess Dehui a few days ago. The eldest princess Yuanjia has a grudge in her heart!"

Emperor Ming's face turned pale when he heard this: "What else do you have to say, Princess Yuanjia!"

Princess Yuanjia was so angry that she couldn't help pointing angrily at Ming Lanruo and screaming——

"No, this is impossible. She is setting up the blame. It has been more than ten days since I sent the silk flowers. The medicine soaked in them has long evaporated. How could she find out that there are still any residues?"

As soon as these words came out, the whole upper study room fell silent.

Princess Yuanjia finally realized what she had said. What she said just now was equivalent to admitting on the spot - she deliberately gave those silk flowers soaked in poison to the Queen Mother!

She is the culprit who murdered the Queen Mother!

"No...no...yes." Princess Yuanjia tried to explain and save her, but she was shaking like chaff.

Emperor Ming was furious, and stared at Yuanjia gloomily and with murderous intent: "Come here, drag down the eldest princess Yuanjia who murdered the Queen Mother, execute her in Lingchi, and search the eldest princess's mansion!!"

His cold eyes fell on Dehui, who was full of fear: "The Princess Dehui and her husband were beheaded at Meridian Gate, and the rest of the family were consigned to lowly status and exiled to the Southern Barbarians!"

"No... Your Majesty... Your Majesty... I was wrong, please give me some dignity!" Princess Yuanjia screamed in despair, her pale hair hanging down, looking even more miserable.

Ling Chi... she had to take off her clothes and be tortured with a knife. No, would she still have to face such a horrific punishment at her old age?

When Princess Deokhye heard the word beheading, she rolled her eyes and fainted, urinating all over the floor.

Emperor Ming gave a cold order, and his father-in-law immediately called the guards to drag the mother and daughter, Princess Yuanjia and Princess Dehui, away.

Ming Lanruo watched this scene calmly. Emperor Ming was the most suspicious, arrogant and sensitive person. It was a capital crime for Princess Yuanjia to poison the Queen Mother.

But what angered Emperor Ming the most was Princess Dachang's attempt to use and deceive him. In his eyes, it was even more teasing and humiliating, but he fell for it.

This was what Emperor Ming couldn't tolerate the most, so he issued such a cruel order, which could be regarded as the backlash of Princess Yuanjia's evil deeds.

Emperor Ming was still angry, but looking at Ming Lanruo, he coughed dryly: "How is the Queen Mother's condition?"

Ming Lanruo lowered her eyes and said calmly: "We have found the drug that caused the Queen Mother's heart disease. It will take some time to treat the condition properly and we will be able to turn the crisis around."

Emperor Ming breathed a sigh of relief. He hesitated and sent the others away.

He then asked hesitantly: "How is my... illness? I see that my health is much better. I haven't pampered my concubine for more than half a month."

Ming Lanruo said that if he favored his concubine, he would easily fall into a trap and die suddenly on the spot. However, he has been taking the medicine she gave him for some time now. Has it worked?

Seeing a beauty like Chun Zhaoyi who is completely different from the other concubines in the palace, with all kinds of charms and tricks by his side, but he can't "cultivate" both body and soul with her, it's really uncomfortable!

Ming Lanruo looked at the emperor in front of him, with a cold light in his eyes. His own mother's life was hanging by a thread, and there was a slight turn for the better. As a son, he was still thinking about how to fall in love with a woman.

It’s really the Queen Mother’s—“What a big boy!”

She still said in an understatement: "Your Majesty, please bear with me a little longer. You still need to take medicine for another half month before going back for a follow-up consultation. I will go to treat the Queen Mother first."

Didn't you just want to kill her?

Now that I think about it, can she still treat him for rheumatism?

Emperor Ming watched Ming Lanruo leave, with annoyance flashing in his eyes. This rude girl, if not for Cang Qiao's face, would still need her treatment.

He would have killed her long ago!

When Ming Lanruo left the study, he did not go to the Queen Mother's office, but went to the prison.

The eldest princess of Yuanjia was sitting on the withered grass in the cold cell, dejected and embarrassed, when she saw Ming Lanruo appear.

She staggered angrily and grabbed the cell rail: "Ming Lanruo, you harmed me... How could there be any drug residue on those flowers? You framed me!"

Ming Lanruo curved the corners of her rosy lips: "That's right, there were no drug residues on those flowers and only a smell that no one can smell is left on those flowers. I just forged evidence to frame them."

After Cang Qiao told her the words framed and framed, she understood instantly.

Since there is no evidence to prove Princess Yuanjia, then she will create evidence!

This is why she went out of the palace to coerce Princess Yuanjia into taking out the medicine, because she needed Aunt Qin to use the medicine and sprinkle it on those silk flowers as evidence!

"Look, how powerful is this evidence?" Ming Lanruo casually put the silk flower in her hand on the side of Princess Yuanjia's hair through the railing.

This almost humiliating move made the flesh on Princess Yuanjia's old and shriveled face tremble, and her eyes were splitting: "Ming Lanruo! I want to tell your Majesty, I want to tell your Majesty the truth!"

Ming Lanruo sneered contemptuously: "The truth? Isn't it true that you did attack the Queen Mother?"

Princess Yuanjia froze.

Ming Lanruo said calmly: "People from Si Zhi Fang will not accept materials from others casually. Let me guess who is helping you behind the scenes? Prince, right?"

Princess Yuanjia's eyes shrank and she snorted coldly: "I don't know what you are talking about."

Ming Lanruo chuckled: "The eldest princess thought that if you deserted King Qin and took refuge with the prince, the prince would come to save you? It turns out that old fritters like you can be naive and stupid sometimes."

After getting the answer she wanted, Minglan Ruoshi stood up and left.

Fear flashed in Princess Yuanjia's eyes, and the last hope in her heart was suddenly extinguished. She couldn't help but scream in despair: "Ming Lanruo...Ming Lanruo, you will not die well!"

Ming Lanruo looked calm and was about to leave the prison, but suddenly she saw a slender and elegant figure sitting there, holding a whip, where the prison head originally sat.

She was stunned for a moment, then walked to him and sat down: "Why are you back?"

Didn’t you go to the imperial mausoleum?

Cang Qiao raised her thin eyelids, handed her a cup of tea, and said calmly: "Well done."

Ming Lanruo tilted her head slightly and said with a smile: "Well, master, is there any reward?"

"What do you want to reward?" He tapped the table with his whip, his eyes dark and unpredictable.
