  The fact of the poison was really strange. After the deposed emperor drank Yan Zhiman's heart blood, his face gradually became rosy, as if he was in deep sleep, and there was nothing wrong with him.

  Fearing that Yan Zhiman would faint due to excessive blood loss, Doctor Shen took out silver needles to seal her acupuncture points after the deposed emperor's complexion improved, so as to prevent her from continuing to lose blood.

  Xie Ciyan had no patience, and raised his head to signal the two guards to drag Yan Zhiman back to him, "Tell me, why did you use the golden silkworm Gu to murder the empress dowager?"

  Yan Zhiman was extremely weak, her breath was weak, and even her speech was a little weak. "Although I raise Gu,... I did not murder the empress dowager." Her eyes full of resentment stared at Yan Zhaozhao, her tone even more firm, "The empress dowager... was killed by Yan Zhaozhao, everyone knows it!"

  Xie Ci Yan snorted coldly, "You don't want to eat my toast." His tone was casual, and every word was full of sarcasm, "Even if you don't want to say it, I know why."

  He seemed to have witnessed what happened that day with his own eyes, and spoke slowly and calmly: "I think it must be on the day of the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet, the Gu in your body was very restless, the reason was that the deposed emperor was a little far away from you at the time, but was sitting between Zhaozhao and the empress dowager. Love Gu is a pair, one in your body, and the other belongs to the deposed emperor, so you had no choice but to go to the inner room to feed blood under the pretext of changing clothes."

  The moment Xie Ci Yan finished speaking, Yan Zhiman's already pale face became even paler, and a trace of panic flashed in her eyes, as if someone had guessed what she was thinking. "While feeding blood, you never expected that the Queen Mother was also too drunk and went into the inner chamber to rest. I think she caught you feeding the Gu. I think the golden silkworm Gu that the Queen Mother mentioned also appeared at that time to drink your blood. You just brushed it off, but when you thought about it carefully, you were still worried, so you simply went all out and implanted the golden silkworm Gu in the Queen Mother when no one was watching."

  Every word was like a heavy hammer, as if Xie Ci Yan had really seen what happened that day. "In order to conceal the symptoms that the golden silkworm Gu can make people crazy, you thought of scaring Zhao Zhao with ghost nightmares as before, and set up ghosts on the way back to the palace, so that everyone in the palace would think that the queen mother was crazy, and no one would doubt you."

  Xie Ci Yan suddenly curled his lips, but his eyes were full of coldness, "Yan family concubine, am I right?"

  Yan Zhao Zhao's pupils suddenly shrank, and she spoke in disbelief, "You mean... the nightmare I suffered before was also caused by her?"

  She found it unbelievable in her heart. Yan Zhiman was just the daughter of a prime minister. How could she have such a great ability to do such things? She has not been in the palace for a long time, and the servants in Guanju Palace actually did such a catastrophic thing for her. Is her skill in winning people's hearts so superb?

  "Yes!" Yan Zhiman gritted her teeth, her eyes full of hatred, her face could no longer maintain her usual submissive and gentle appearance, and her whole body was full of an irrepressible madness. "I did it all! I entered the palace to put you, Yan Zhaozhao, under my feet and sit on the position that everyone dreams of sitting on!"

  She suddenly smiled, her eyes flashing with ferocity. "For this, do you know how much effort I have made?" Yan Zhiman tried her best to prop herself up, trying to make herself less embarrassed. "In order to raise these little things, my body is almost exhausted and extremely weak. In order to gain a foothold in the palace, I spent almost everything before finally standing in front of the throne of the queen."

  She suddenly laughed up to the sky, "Only one step away, obviously... only one step away, I can sit on the throne of the queen."

  "How can you, a girl in the boudoir, know how to raise Gu." Yan Zhaozhao was really curious. She and Yan Zhiman lived in the Prime Minister's Mansion together, but she had never seen such a strange thing happen in the mansion.

  Yan Zhiman smiled, and her expression suddenly became proud. "Since I was a child, I knew that women trapped in the harem would not be beautiful all the year round, not to mention the emperor who was dazzled by the three thousand women in the harem. To become a true favorite concubine, I can only rely on these little things to help me." She smiled with her hands covering her lips, "Yan Zhaozhao, aren't you curious why I was able to murder Concubine Yan and your queen mother in such a short time since I entered the palace?"

  She didn't wait for Yan Zhaozhao to answer, and said directly, "That's because I have the entire huge Yan family behind me!" Yan Zhiman's mouth curled up with a sneer, with an incomparable arrogance between her eyebrows, "When sending me to the palace, my father told me that I could do whatever I wanted boldly, and he would always help me. My aunt is just like my father, looking forward to the day when I can step onto the throne of the queen and win glory for the entire Yan family!"

  "Speaking of which, I have to thank you, Yan Zhaozhao. If you had not been disfavored in the palace for many years and had never brought honor to my father, why would I have to enter the palace today?" Her voice was loud and sharp, "Yan Zhaozhao, you have long been abandoned by your father, so that he never let you know about all his connections in the palace, but he could use everything for me."

  "Although I am a concubine's daughter, I am still the most beloved daughter of my father." She was full of pride, like a high-handed winner, "Yan Zhaozhao, you lose to me, a concubine's daughter!"

  Yan Zhaozhao gently raised her eyelids, glanced at Yan Zhiman indifferently, and suddenly stood up and walked to her. Yan Zhiman still had that smug look on her face, but Yan Zhaozhao raised his hand and suddenly slapped her in the face. The sound of "pa" resounded through the inner hall, and Yan Zhiman was stunned.

  "Why do you think I care about winning or losing with you?" Yan Zhaozhao's tone was not loud, but she could not help but exude a sense of majesty. She straightened her back, looked down at Yan Zhiman's shocked eyes. "You are defeated today because of your own hand, and it has nothing to do with anyone else. I told you long ago that your thoughts will eventually kill you. Have you ever thought that everything you did is a capital crime punishable by extermination of the entire clan! If the truth is revealed today, and the person sitting here to interrogate you is not Xie Ci Yan, but the deposed emperor, have you ever thought about what the outcome will be?"

  She paused, her tone heavier, "Not only you, but also me, my father and mother, your aunt, and even the servants and collateral relatives of the Yan family. , will all lose their lives because of your extremely stupid actions!"

  Yan Zhiman's face suddenly froze, and then relaxed, her tone full of pride, "Don't try to deceive me, the emperor has my love poison in his body, as long as that little thing is still there, the emperor will love me, how could he send me and my relatives to the guillotine!" She glanced at Yan Zhaozhao and smiled suddenly, "Now... I'm not afraid at all. Just based on your affair with Xie Ci Yan, he will not want to exterminate the Yan family, what should I be afraid of!"

  "You!" Yan Zhaozhao hated her stubbornness and didn't realize the severity of the current situation at all.

  "You're right." Xie Ci Yan suddenly spoke, and stood up and walked to Yan Zhaozhao's side, and put her hand in his palm as if no one was around, and gently stroked her slightly red palm with the other hand. "I will not destroy the Yan family, but you can be sentenced to death for everything you have done. Even if I want you to die, I can stop the gossips."

  He sneered, and just standing there he showed the aura of an emperor. "I want to know, if Yan Huai knows that you are about to be sentenced to death, will he be willing to take off his official hat to save your life for you, his most beloved concubine."

  Xie Ci Yan's voice was low, like an evil ghost, and his eyes made her back cold and fearful. "Let's see, what Yan Huai loves most is the position and power of the prime minister, or you, his daughter."

  "I'll wait and see."
