The emperor staggered, feeling dizzy.
Then he seemed to remember something and said quickly: "Wake up Li Meiren quickly!"
He still held on to his last hope, hoping that Li Meiren had not used this drug.
If she has never used this drug, it means there is still hope for her...
When Empress Dowager Liu saw Cao Bin nodding slightly towards her, she suddenly felt confident, waved her hands and said:
"The emperor asked her what she was doing? Ask the person who buried the fetus and you will know if she has used this medicine."
Fetuses produced with aphrodisiacs will definitely be different. Just ask and you will know the result. This is not a lie.
Cao Bin had already discussed this matter with Queen Mother Liu.
If you need to frame Li Meiren, you must cover up all kinds of flaws, and you must be very clear about the characteristics of this kind of fetus.
Now that it is certain that Li Meiren has used aphrodisiacs, there is no need for such trouble. Revealing the truth directly can support the Queen Mother's remarks.
In fact, Cao Bin's original plan was to frame Li Meiren first and then exaggerate the dangers of aphrodisiacs.
Transfer all conflicts to medicines.
In fact, the prescription for stimulating pregnancy only records that taking the medicine will lead to stillbirth, and there is no statement that it will harm men at all.
What Empress Dowager Liu said about "exterminating the heirs" is also a fabrication.
The aphrodisiac is a strange and rare thing. Even if the miracle doctor comes, he still dare not say that it does not have such negative effects.
What Empress Dowager Liu said was eight percent true and two percent false. It was difficult for the emperor to distinguish clearly.
Coupled with the fact that he himself had difficulty in having an heir, the emperor would hardly doubt the Queen Mother's statement.
In the final analysis, the problem of being unable to have children is still a problem with the emperor himself.
But with this prescription, all the emperor's resentment can be directed towards the person who uses the medicine.
He would be more willing to believe that it is the problem with the prescription than his own problem.
At that time, even if a miracle doctor really told him that this prescription had no effect in terminating heirs, I am afraid he would not want to believe it.
After a series of inquiries, the emperor finally gave up and said with an ashen face:
"Mother, what should I do?"
Thinking that he would have no heirs to inherit the Song Dynasty, he felt that sitting on the throne was boring.
Seeing that the emperor was disheartened, Empress Dowager Liu's eyes suddenly lit up, and she immediately took the opportunity to stab the knife:
"Your Majesty, you have disappointed the Ai family so much. In fact, the Ai family has long known that King Xiangyang has evil intentions and has hidden secrets in your harem."
"Why did the Ai family make false promises with him? It was just to secretly investigate the conspiracy. Unexpectedly, you suspected the Ai family, leaving the Ai family with nothing."
"You sent Cao Bin yourself to investigate and punish King Xiangyang. He risked his life to complete the task."
"In the end, you forced him to present these conspiracies that were not suitable for public display to the Aijia."
"You don't trust the Ai family. If you investigate the Ai family, the Ai family can tolerate it. As an emperor, you should be suspicious..."
Seeing that the emperor showed some guilt, she became more and more enthusiastic and continued:
"Also, if the Ai family had not taken the initiative to retreat, the emperor would have taken charge..."
Seeing that she couldn't stop the car, Cao Bin coughed quickly and reminded her.
When the emperor was allowed to take charge, it was not because you took the initiative to retreat.
Don’t go too far in cleaning yourself up. Wouldn’t it be in vain if the emperor discovered the flaw?
Queen Mother Liu also reacted and quickly stopped the verbal bombardment.
Why does she defend Cao Bin so much?
Even if Cao Bin held her hand, she would not try so hard.
The real purpose of her cooperation with Cao Bin was to whitewash herself.
In her early years, Empress Dowager Liu had an excessive desire for power and secretly used many cruel methods.
Although no evidence was found by the emperor, there was still suspicion, so there was already a rift between mother and son.
Now she lives deep in the harem and ignores the affairs of her former dynasty, which is not entirely her own will.
Whether it is to change the current situation or to plan for the future, she needs to clean herself up and improve her relationship with the emperor.
That's why she actively cooperated with Cao Bin.
"Your Majesty, although you are not a biological child of the Ai family, it was the Ai family that brought you up. The Ai family has always regarded you as their own flesh and blood..."
The emperor was in a state of agitation. Hearing these words, he felt filled with guilt:
"Mother, I wrongly blamed you, I..."
Seeing this, Empress Dowager Liu ignored the situation and quickly stepped forward to hug the emperor and shed tears:
"Your Majesty, don't be discouraged. Now that you know the cause of the disease, you can always find a way to treat it. My mother will work with you to find a solution."
Although the emperor felt that this situation was a bit embarrassing, he could not bear to avoid getting close to Empress Dowager Liu.
Seeing the emperor's reaction, Queen Mother Liu was very satisfied with the effect of this cleansing.
At this time, the emperor suddenly stood up, looked at Li Meiren angrily and said:
"Li Meiren, I have shown you great favor, but I never thought you would dare to harm me with the medicine of tiger and wolf."
After saying that, he immediately ordered: "Deprive Li Meiren of her position, lock her in the cold palace, and ban her forever."
The eunuchs were about to take away Li Meiren, but Queen Mother He said coldly:
"What's the use of keeping such a vicious person? Take him down and strangle him to death!"
The emperor opened his mouth, but finally did not speak.
Although he missed her companionship, he thought of her actually hurting him, so he stopped talking.
At this time, Li Meiren became excited and screamed:
"In an official family, it is not a pity to have a concubine die, but Concubine Pang's heart is as vicious as mine."
"She has harbored resentment for a long time and aims to poison the emperor's heir..."
Before she could finish, Queen Mother Liu said angrily: "Shut her up. It's not her turn to instigate royal affairs!"
Several eunuchs tightly covered Li Meiren's mouth and quickly dragged her down.
The emperor then looked at Concubine Pang and said with anger in his eyes:
"Bitch, I ask myself, I love you so much, why do you have such thoughts?"
Even without Li Meiren's reminder, Concubine Pang wouldn't have been able to escape this time.
Regardless of whether the fetus in Li Meiren's belly was fake or not, it is difficult to defend Concubine Pang's drugging and killing her.
"In the official family, I have been wronged and I have never given any medicine!"
Concubine Pang remembered Cao Bin's advice and directly denied her previous crime.
The emperor suddenly choked. The previous evidence was conclusive and she could no longer refute it. She didn't expect that she would dare to deny it now.
There was anger in his eyes, and just as he was about to say something, a eunuch hurried in and reported:
"Officially, Prime Minister Kou asked for an audience outside the palace. He said that Zhong Jingbo sent his personal guards to surround the execution site and Master Bao..."
Concubine Pang looked at Cao Bin in shock and worry, and Queen Mother Liu was also confused.
Didn’t you say you asked Bao Zheng to suspend his execution? It turned out to be just such a request.
The emperor's old anger was still lingering, but he was filled with new anger. He suddenly turned to Cao Bin and shouted:
"Cao Bin, what are you going to do? Are you trying to rebel?"
Empress Dowager Liu felt tired. She thought she had achieved her goal today and didn't need to fully cooperate with Cao Bin.
Unexpectedly, he actually did such a thing again and got into trouble.
If Cao Bin is questioned, there is no guarantee that he will not break the pot, and he will have to work hard to hold him back...
