Gu Ning's heart froze, this Queen Mother really loved Ruoxi, her life was almost in her hands, yet she still protected her like this.
My heart sank, and I was thinking about how to convince the Queen Mother, but Chu Yanjuan on the side spoke.
"Queen Mother, the innocence of the princess is important, but your body is equally important. I am worried that if this matter is not resolved today, it will get worse in the future, and it will be impossible to prevent it."
Hesitation flashed across the Queen Mother's face, and she turned to look at the Emperor. Seeing that the Emperor had no objection, she said no more, looked at Eunuch Li and said, "Eunuch Li, go ahead."
"Princess, I have offended you so much." Eunuch Li received the signal, bowed to Princess Ruoxi, and turned to leave.
Ruoxi's face turned pale and she bit her lips tightly, her eyes full of panic. Yuhua on the side lowered her head and clutched her sleeves tightly. It was obvious that the two of them were guilty.
Those things were in the room, and if they were dug out, the consequences would be disastrous.
Gu Ning glanced briefly at the master and servant, and sneered in her heart.
…
Not long after, Eunuch Li came back with a brocade box in his hand.
Ruoxi saw the brocade box at a glance, her pupils trembled, her lips twitched slightly, she turned her head and glared at Gu Ning fiercely.
Gu Ning blinked at her innocently, with a smile on her lips.
"Open it."
When the emperor saw the brocade box, he asked Eunuch Li to open it.
Opening the brocade box, there was a white porcelain vase lying inside.
Eunuch Li picked it up, looked at it, glanced at Ruoxi, and then handed the porcelain vase to Doctor Hu, "Mr. Hu, look at what's in this porcelain vase."
Doctor Hu took the porcelain bottle, took out the handkerchief, poured out the white powder inside, smelled it, and his face suddenly turned ugly, "Your Majesty, I am a humble minister who is not very talented and has little knowledge. He cannot judge the effect of this medicine at the first time."
After the words fell, the emperor frowned, but Ruoxi breathed a sigh of relief.
"However, a few days ago, Wei Chen was recuperating the Queen Mother's health and studied the poison that the Queen Mother was exposed to. It is similar to the powder in this bottle. It is colorless and odorless, highly toxic, and will be poisoned if touched."
"This is just an ordinary medicinal powder, not poison at all." Ruoxi argued as she was still making her last struggle to protect herself.
"I have a way to verify it." Gu Ning tilted her head and looked at Ruoxi with a joking look on her face.
"What's the solution? Let me tell you." The emperor's expression remained as usual. He already had the answer in his heart, but he still wanted to hear what Gu Ning had to say.
"It's very simple. Dr. Hu just said that the poison is extremely toxic and will be poisoned if touched. The princess said that this is just an ordinary powder. Why don't you let the princess touch it and try it."
Gu Ning looked at Ruoxi with a faint smile.
Ruoxi's face turned pale instantly, and she didn't know how to deal with it.
Doctor Hu took a handkerchief dipped in medicinal powder and handed it to Ruoxi.
Ruoxi was so frightened that she turned pale and screamed to avoid, "Get away!"
Now that the matter is over, the truth is clear.
"Ruoxi, was this poison really caused by you?"
The Queen Mother's chest was rising and falling violently. It was in vain that she loved Ruoxi so much. This was so chilling to her.
"It's not me. This brocade box is not mine!" If he is accused of murdering the Queen Mother, the entire Prince Rui's palace will suffer, let alone her.
Ruoxi's eyes were red and she pointed at Gu Ning with a slightly trembling finger, "It's all her fault. She put the blame on me. Queen Mother, please believe me, I am really innocent..."
"Oh? Am I framing you?" Gu Ning raised her eyebrows with a sneer on her face, "Eunuch Li personally found the things. Do you mean that I colluded with Eunuch Li to frame you?"
