Chapter 238 The Poisonous Oath, Exposed
Feng Xinyi looked at Empress Chen meaningfully, and instead of answering, she asked, "Does Your Majesty like to make perfumes? I smell a lot of spices on you."
Empress Chen pinched her palm fiercely, but her tone remained calm: "I do like to make perfumes, but I didn't know this perfume powder was poisonous."
"Many spices are inherently toxic, either mildly or severely. If used carelessly, the toxins can easily enter the body, and even a deity cannot save you."
When Feng Xinyi said this, Queen Mother Zhao was so frightened that she quickly took off the incense necklace in her hand.
Queen Chen saw it and her pupils shrank slightly: that was the incense necklace she gave to Queen Dowager Zhao.
The eldest princess also wanted to throw away the sachet on her body, but she tried hard to hold back and did not dare to throw it away in front of Queen Chen.
Unexpectedly, Imperial Concubine Jiang suddenly said, "I remember that when Sister Chen first entered the palace, she loved making perfumes. My son died before he was a year old. I wonder if Sister Chen was responsible for any of his creations?"
Empress Chen's expression instantly turned extremely ugly, and she looked at Concubine Jiang with a sharp gaze: "It's not me! If you don't believe me, I can swear to heaven!"
Imperial Concubine Jiang sneered, "Really? Then please, Sister Chen, swear an oath. Otherwise, I really can't trust you."
Upon hearing this, Empress Chen raised her finger and swore to the heavens, "Heaven above, and Hou Tu below! I, Chen Huan, swear hereby!"
If I, Chen Huan, had ever caused the death of Jiang Lin's own children, I would have been struck by thunder and sent to hell after death, never to be reborn!
When Concubine Jiang saw that she had made such a cruel oath, her tense body relaxed and she smiled with a bitter face.
Was she really wrong?
Xie Ying looked at her sympathetically, then looked at Queen Chen, whose face was full of gloom, and the other people present.
After Empress Chen made such a vicious oath, the way Emperor Taihe, Empress Dowager Zhao, the eldest princess and Concubine Li looked at her became obviously different.
[How pitiful! She didn't even realize she was being tricked. No wonder Empress Chen has such a good reputation. She's fooled so many people here. Such scheming! Tsk tsk tsk.]
[She's not the real Chen Huan, and she never killed Jiang Lin and her son, so of course she dared to swear such a vicious oath.]
[After all, Concubine Jiang's son is still alive! He's being held by Concubine Li!]
Li Jieyu is also pitiful. She didn't even know her son had been switched, and she was still raising someone else's son.
[Since Imperial Concubine Jiang's son is still alive, the one who died that year was most likely Imperial Concubine Li's son.]
If this woman knew the truth, I wonder if she would go crazy and seek revenge on Empress Chen?
[But even if she looked for it, it would probably be useless. She still has a worm hiding in her heart. I'm afraid she'd die instantly if she tried to fight Empress Chen.]
Situ Yuan: “…”
This guy is so anxious and fierce, he doesn't care about his life or death at all, right?
He looked at Concubine Jiang, whose face was filled with bitterness, then at Yang Tao in Concubine Li's arms, and suddenly said, "Uncle, can you let the Medicine God Doctor take a look at my cousin? The Medicine God Doctor is so powerful, maybe he can cure my cousin."
Emperor Taihe finally came to his senses and quickly asked Feng Xinyi to show Yang Tao.
Feng Xinyi didn't refuse and walked straight towards Yang Tao. Looking into his frightened eyes, she said gently, "May I take the young prince's pulse?"
It was the first time that Yang Tao heard someone call him "Your Highness" in such a gentle tone.
Neither fawning nor contemptuous, like a kind and loving old grandmother.
Even more loving and gentle than the Empress Dowager.
He couldn't help but stretch out his little hand, and raised his chin shyly and proudly: "You see, it doesn't matter if it can't be cured."
Anyway, people often checked his pulse, but they couldn't cure his illness.
"I'll do my best."
Feng Xinyi spoke gently and began to take Yang Tao's pulse.
Everyone looked at her, including the elegant Queen Chen.
Feng Xinyi took Yang Tao's pulse very carefully and even asked him to use another hand.
Finally, she withdrew her hand, but did not tell the result. Instead, she said to Concubine Li, "Madam, may I take your pulse?"
Li Jieyu frowned nervously: "Why do you still need to check on me? I'm not sick."
The princess said unhappily, "If you're not sick, just take your pulse. The Godly Doctor is a truly capable doctor. She must have her reasons for wanting to take your pulse. Why are you refusing?"
Concubine Li looked at Emperor Taihe pitifully and said, "I didn't refuse, I just felt it was strange."
After saying that, she quickly stretched out her hand, fearing to arouse suspicion.
Feng Xinyi took her pulse, still very carefully.
After a long time, she withdrew her hand and suddenly said, "I want to check the little prince's bones. Your Majesty, can you let the little prince go?"
Li Jieyu frowned even more tightly. "What's wrong with you, the so-called miracle doctor? Why do you want to check the bones and muscles? I've never heard of such an examination!"
Feng Xinyi didn't flinch: "If Your Majesty has truly never heard of this, then it means that the imperial physicians in the capital have failed in their duties.
If a child is born with congenital deficiencies and is weak, it will inevitably affect the growth of his muscles and bones.
If we don't check your bones and muscles, how can we know if you are healthy?"
How did Concubine Li know about these medical diagnoses?
She couldn't argue with Feng Xinyi, but she felt that what she said made sense, so she had to let go of Yang Tao.
But he warned worriedly, "You better be careful! If you hurt the little prince, His Majesty and the Queen Mother will not forgive you!"
Feng Xinyi ignored it.
She first grabbed Yang Tao's armpits, picked him up and weighed him, then carefully pinched his arms and legs.
Then he suddenly dropped a bombshell: "There's nothing wrong with your Highness's legs and feet, they just look a little strange.
The Concubine had body odor, but it was not passed on to the young prince. However, the young prince also had the toxins in the Concubine's body.
And it's really strange that there isn't much poison in the body of Concubine Jieyu."
After that, she placed Yang Tao in front of Emperor Taihe and said calmly, "I can treat the young prince and the imperial concubine, but the young prince is still young and cannot use strong medicine. He needs to be treated slowly."
Everyone looked at her in astonishment, feeling that she had just said something very important!
Queen Mother Zhao frowned in disgust. "You said she has body odor? I've never smelled it before."
Feng Xinyi said confidently, "The Concubine must be applying ointment daily to mask the smell of her body odor, so ordinary people can't smell it unless they're too close."
Concubine Jiang suddenly spoke softly, "What do you mean by saying that Tao'er has the toxin from my body?"
Before Feng Xinyi could speak, Situ Yuan said directly, "You're so stupid. He was poisoned by the same poison as you, which means he's your son."
Concubine Jiang was trembling all over, as if she was struck by a bolt of lightning!
Is Yang Tao her son?
impossible!
Her child was clearly dead, and she put him in the coffin with her own hands!
Emperor Taihe couldn't believe it: "How is this possible!"
Li Jieyu was even more furious: "You are talking nonsense! Tao'er is obviously my son!"
She wanted to rush over and hug Yang Tao, but Concubine Jiang was faster than her!
Concubine Jiang knocked Concubine Li away violently, then rushed in front of Emperor Taihe and looked at Yang Tao in disbelief.
Yang Tao was stunned and looked at Concubine Jiang in front of him nervously.
"No... No... This must be a mistake..."
How could he be Concubine Jiang's son? This must be a mistake!
Situ Yuan glanced at him with disdain and spoke again, "You are so stupid! The Queen just said that she didn't kill Concubine Jiang's biological son. Doesn't this mean that Concubine Jiang's biological son is still alive?"
Everyone: "!!!"
