“Did the empress ask you to poison me?”Rong Xiaotian went straight to the point.
She raised her head and looked at Rong Xiaotian with a confused expression. Jingyi nodded numbly, “Yes.”
“Was there anyone else who ordered it?” Rong Zhan’s sharp gaze fell on Jingyi from afar, as if he could see the reason from Jingyi’s empty eyes.
At first, Jingyi’s expression was normal. However, when she heard Rong Zhan’s words, her entire expression became distorted and she struggled. It was as if she was experiencing great pain. Her body twitched even more violently. In the end, she fell to the ground with white foam at her mouth and fainted.
Rong Zhan looked at this scene coldly and was not surprised.
On the other hand, Rong Xiaotian was very surprised to see this scene. He asked Rong Zhan in confusion, “Why is this?”
“If there are any questions that she doesn’t want to answer, she will also develop a sense of resistance,” Rong Zhan said indifferently.
Rong Xiaotian’s eyes were filled with surprise. “There’s actually such a thing. However, Prince Regent, since you suddenly asked Jingyi that question just now, did you have some doubts and not tell me?”
“This official only feels that if the empress doesn’t care about court affairs, why would she do so many things? If someone was behind this, it would be more reasonable.” Rong Zhan observed Rong Xiaotian’s expression. Seeing that he was deep in thought, he reminded him again, “Your Majesty, since the matter of poisoning has been clarified, shouldn’t we invite the empress over?”
At the mention of Madam Yin, Rong Xiaotian’s face darkened. “Of course, we have to call that vicious woman over. Men, bring the empress here!”
The evidence was conclusive, and the empress had no way to deny it. Soon, she was captured by Kang Fujiang’s men.
However, Madam Yin seemed to have suffered quite a shock. Even after she was brought up, she still had a confused expression on her face. She looked at the Emperor in confusion. “Emperor, why did you capture me?”
Rong Xiaotian looked at Madam Yin’s expression and the flames in his heart swept out. He slammed his palm heavily on the dragon throne and said angrily to Madam Yin, “You still have the cheek to ask? Madam Yin, you are so audacious that you actually dared to poison me!”
Madam Yin was scared out of her wits and quickly shook her head to deny it. “Your Majesty, why do you say that? No matter how insensible I am, I wouldn’t dare to make such a mistake, Your Majesty. Please understand!”
Rong Zhan had been observing Madam Yin since she entered the house. She looked terrified from the moment she entered the door. From her expression, it was indeed impossible to tell that she was lying. “The Empress really doesn’t know?”
“What are you talking about, Prince Regent?” Madam Yin said angrily, “I don’t know about it. Besides, what benefits do I get from plotting against His Majesty? I’m not a fool.”
Rong Zhan did not agree and said lightly, “After His Majesty’s death, the crown prince will naturally inherit the throne, and the empress will become the empress dowager.”
Madam Yin was so frightened by Rong Zhan’s words that her entire body trembled. She raised her hand and pointed at him angrily.”You’re spouting nonsense, I didn’t do it!”
“Your Majesty, Your Highness, just now, our people caught this little eunuch sneaking around Yangxin Palace Hall. We suspected that there was something fishy about this little eunuch, so we captured him and brought him here.” Liu Yi walked over quickly and threw a eunuch to the ground as he spoke..
