C18 Repayment

Royal Father, that is an extremely common poison, the source of its poison is a flower stalk called 'peach'. This poison enters the body through the mouth and nose, the infected people will be poisoned within an hour, ordinary people will feel their chest swelling after being poisoned, so they can't see anything strange, but my grandmother's body has a wet cold, so when she encounters this poison, there will be a big reaction, so if the poison is not detoxified quickly, her life will be in danger.

The reason why he knew about this poison is because he got the full moon to find it in his medical book when his Cloud King's Manor is bored.

"Investigate, bring up all the servants by the empress dowager's side!"

Baili Yao's anger made everyone present breathless, they were afraid that they would be implicated.

Baili Xing's eyes flashed when he saw a certain palace lady being brought into the hall.

The empress dowager's face was calm as she looked at the people kneeling before her. They were people she could trust to stay by her side. This one will give you a chance. If you plead guilty, you will be punished. "

"Have mercy, empress dowager! This servant was wrongly accused …"

"Esteemed Empress Dowager, even if this servant was given a hundred times the courage, I wouldn't dare …"

"How dare you!" Since you all gave me the chance, don't take it. Then don't blame me.

The Hall of Punishment was in charge of the palace's punishment department. Although it couldn't compare to the torture in the Sky Prison, it still wasn't something that an ordinary person could endure.

The punishment did not mean that they would avoid everyone present.

Soon, the Hall of Punishment was filled with the wails of the Hall's people as they approached with torture tools in hand.

After Bai Zhiling cured the empress dowager of her poison, she'd been standing off to the side, watching the events unfold with an indifferent expression.

She knew better than anyone that she was just one of the tricks that could be discarded at any time in this scene.

"Ah …" "Your majesty, have mercy! Your majesty, have mercy …"

Baili Yao Ying's dark eyes swept across the bloodstain on the ground. "I'll ask you guys again, do you admit it or not!"

"Confess, this servant concedes. This servant admits everything …" At that moment, palace maid, who was being hit by a stick, let out a loud scream.

"Bring him here."

The guard dragged those who had already died forward.

"Speak, who ordered you to do this!"

Suddenly, palace maid's eyes were filled with fear as she looked at Baili Moxun, who was calmly drinking wine, and asked with a trembling voice, "Your majesty, will the Emperor protect this servant's family well?"

Baili Yao squinted his eyes. As long as you admit defeat, I will guarantee that they won't die. "

"This servant has admitted defeat. It was Prince Jing Ling. It was Prince Jing Ling who asked this servant to poison the empress dowager …" "Prince Jing Ling said that as long as I succeed, I will bring this servant into the prince's mansion. I will … I will be your concubine …"

"Nonsense! Prince Jing Ling can let you randomly climb up and bite? "Royal Father, this son believes that Royal Uncle would never do such a thing, please investigate it clearly." Baili Xing stepped forward with an angry expression.

Baili Yao looked at Baili Moxun with a confused expression, then his gaze landed on palace maid. What evidence do you have for saying that? "

"This servant does, this servant does! Prince Jing Ling had his men give this servant a gold medal!" palace maid tremblingly took out a gold medallion about the size of half a palm.

Baili Yao let people take a look, sure enough, the seal carved "Prince Jing Ling Mansion" four words.

"Ninth Brother, shouldn't you give me an explanation for this matter?"

Baili Moxun stood up gracefully as she heard his words. Even in this kind of situation, she remained calm and unperturbed. I wonder how royal brother would like this subject to explain this? "

Baili Yao frowned. Are you really the one who poisoned my mother? The Queen Mother used to … "Not bad!"

Baili Moxun's birth mother, Imperial Consort Te, passed away when he was eight years old. The late emperor doted on him and allowed him to be raised under the empress dowager's name. However, within a few years, Baili Moxun went to the feudal fiefdom.

It was not impossible to say that the Empress Dowager had helped him.

Bai Zhiling looked at Baili Moxun. She didn't expect that the final target of this game would be Prince Jing Ling.

"Royal brother, to use a piece of gold that you can get as long as you want to to, isn't it a little too reckless to judge this official's crime?" Baili Moxun's calm reply made Baili Yao angry.

"How did your gold come to her?"

Bai Zhiling looked at Baili Moxun, at a loss as to whether to help or not.

After all, he had just saved her life, even though she was implicated …

After hesitating for a moment, Bai Zhiling still stood up.

Although she believed that even if she didn't say anything, Baili Moxun would still be able to handle the situation perfectly, but she really didn't like to owe someone a favor.

"Royal Father, I have something to say."

Even Baili Moxun was surprised by Bai Zhiling's sudden appearance.

Baili Xing looked at Bai Zhiling and frowned, not knowing what she wanted to do.

"Go ahead." When she saved the empress dowager, Baili Yao's attitude towards her eased a bit.

"I wonder if I can examine palace maid."

"What do you want to check?"

"Check if she's the one who really poisoned her."

This request was not too much, Baili Yao had no reason to reject it.

"Go check."

Bai Zhiling walked up to palace maid. Due to the torture, palace maid's body was badly mutilated.

Bai Zhiling crouched down and looked at her fingers.

palace maid didn't know if it was due to guilt or not, but when she looked at Bai Zhiling, she subconsciously wanted to retreat.

"How did you poison the empress dowager?"

"Put it in the Empress Dowager's bird nest soup."

"Tell me the specifics." Bai Zhiling's clear eyes looked at her, causing the burden within palace maid's heart to increase. She became even more afraid.

"Yes, the poison was released and placed in the handkerchief. It was placed in the handkerchief. The handkerchief, it has already been burnt …"

"When was the poison given to you?" Where did you put it? Other than the poison, did the other party give you anything else? "

palace maid didn't know what Bai Zhiling wanted to do, so she could only answer without thinking. "Yes, it was yesterday. Your servant, your servant, was afraid of being discovered, so … I've always had it with me. Besides the poison, there's nothing else …"

As soon as she finished speaking, Bai Zhiling stood up.

"Royal Father, she's lying."

"No, no! Your Majesty, this servant doesn't dare to swindle Your Majesty …"

"Do you not dare? If even Prince Jing Ling dares to slander you, then this concubine really can't see that there's anything else you don't dare to do!" "She grabbed her hand and lifted it up." "You said that you got the poison yesterday and poisoned the empress dowager, but why aren't you poisoned?"

"This poison can be poisoned just by smelling it. You've been carrying it all day, it's impossible not to have been poisoned. The imperial physicians should be well aware of this, but why aren't you poisoned?" If you were to say that you had consumed the antidote beforehand, you wouldn't have been able to do so either. Just now, you also said that other than poison, the other party didn't give you anything else.

"This, this... "I …" palace maid panicked. Millions of lies were needed to justify a lie. Under such circumstances, how could the words spoken not be full of holes?

"Royal Father, please investigate." Bai Zhiling's voice was sonorous and forceful.

Baili Moxun's gaze fell on Bai Zhiling the moment she stepped forward, a faint smile pouring out from the depths of her eyes.
