Jingyi was also a little confused after hearing the empress’ words, “Empress, what’s wrong with you? You shouldn’t have forgotten such an important matter!”
She had served the empress for so many years, and she could see that the empress’ expression was crazed. The words she said were not a joke, but serious.
The more she realized this, the more confused Jingyi felt.
“Your Majesty, I didn’t. Our son definitely wouldn’t do such a treasonous thing. It must have been done by this cheap servant!’ The more the empress tried to distinguish, the more her head hurt. She vaguely felt that she had forgotten something important. She tried hard for a long time but could not remember.
Instead, her head hurt even more.
Seeing this scene, Jing Yi could only use her final trump card. “Your Majesty, this servant still has the poison left over from the poison I gave you. That poison can only be obtained from the royal family of Moyun Kingdom. This servant can’t buy it even if she has money, so it can only be given to this servant by the empress.”
“Kang Fujiang, bring some men to look for it. Also, are you sure that this matter has something to do with the crown prince? Think carefully before you answer this one’s question. If you lie, this one will definitely not let you off easily! ” Rong Xiaotian said sternly.
Jingyi could not remain indifferent to the emperor’s anger. She lowered her head timidly and said carefully, “This servant doesn’t dare to lie. This servant only knows that His Highness the Crown Prince is indeed colluding with the Empress. As for what they discussed between mother and son, this servant really doesn’t know.”
Seeing Rong Xiaotian nod thoughtfully, the empress panicked. “Your Majesty…’ The empress called out to Rong Xiaotian and calmed down.
At this moment, she suddenly realized that no matter how she ended up in this state, she did not seem to have any other choice.
As a mother, she had to protect her son. She could not let her son suffer with her and be suspected.
After the empress thought about this, she took a deep breath and knelt respectfully in front of the emperor. “Your Majesty, the poisoning was done by me alone. It has nothing to do with Hua’er.”
Rong Zhan saw that the empress was unafraid of death and saw through her thoughts at a glance. “Just now, the empress would rather die than admit it, but now you suddenly admitted it.”
The empress glared at Rong Zhan unwillingly and said faintly, “Just now, I felt that I would rather die than admit it because there might be a chance of survival. But now this lowly servant actually framed my innocent son, I can only admit it. Prince Regent, you’ve been investigating, but isn’t it because you want me to confess? Then, I will accept it and let His Majesty deal with it. Your Majesty, this matter was all done by me alone. I’ve always wanted to ascend the throne of empress dowager. Everything has nothing to do with the crown prince. I hope Your Majesty can understand.”
Rong Xiaotian was so angry that he laughed when he saw that the Empress had really admitted it. His eyes were almost spewing fire. “Good, good, as expected of my good empress. You really thought of ways to scheme against me! Men, drag the empress down and banish her to the Cold Palace!”
When the empress heard this, her body trembled uncontrollably, and her face seemed to be ashen.
Even so, the empress still forced herself to calm down and was dragged away as if she had accepted her fate.
Seeing that Jingyi and the young eunuch were also dragged away, Rong Zhan stood up and bowed to Rong Xiaotian. “Since the matter is already clear, then this subject will take his leave first..”
