Yun Xiyao screamed, and it was too late to hide. The medicine bowl fell from her hands, fell on her knees, and then fell to the ground, shattering with a "snap"...
Black concoction flowed from her skirt to the ground.
The others were so frightened that their faces turned pale, and they all knelt on the ground, holding their breath and concentrating, not daring to make any sound. Yun Jingchu also knelt silently in the crowd, lowered his head, and tried to reduce his presence as much as possible.
"Queen, tell me, who gave you the courage to hurt Wang Zhaoyi and the child in his belly?" Dongfang Chen angrily grabbed Yun Xiyao's wrist and asked angrily.
"Your Majesty, didn't you see it?" Yun Xiyao stood up and pointed to the wound on her face, "Wang Zhaoyi let her cat scratch my concubine's face and put poison on the cat's claws. She wanted to
You're causing me to be disfigured. What's wrong with me doing that?"
Dongfang Chen seemed to have just discovered the wound on Yun Xiyao's face. He narrowed his eyes, a touch of ridicule appeared on his face, and said coldly: "Really? Come and tell me, how did Wang Zhaoyi hurt you?"
"Your Majesty, you must have listened to the villain and misunderstood me. Just now, everyone saw that I and other sisters were chatting in the pavilion. Suddenly, Wang Zhaoyi's white cat rushed towards me like crazy.
I, the concubine, scratched and scratched my face, and the servants around me finally pulled it away... I wanted to punish the cat, but Wang Zhaoyi actually stopped me... I was already angry, and I heard what the servants around me said.
, the wound on my concubine’s face was poisonous, and I was immediately dizzy with anger... Your Majesty, I didn’t do this intentionally, I was just afraid of disfigurement. Do you know how important appearance is to a woman? Please make the decision for me, your Majesty!" Choking with sobs.
Having said this, Yun Xiyao burst into tears and knelt down in front of Dongfang Chen.
Dongfang Chen frowned and looked at the others, "Do you think this is what happened?"
There was total silence, no one dared to speak.
"Are you all mute? I'm asking you a question!" Dongfang Chen's voice suddenly rose and he said sternly.
As if a gust of cold wind blew through the scene, it became even quieter. Just when Dongfang Chen wanted to get angry again, Concubine Yuwen spoke tremblingly: "...It's just what the Queen said."
"Oh? Really?" Dongfang Chen raised his eyebrows, his voice obviously filled with suspicion. His eyes turned around on the heads of the kneeling people, and then fell on Concubine Dong Xian, "Concubine Xian, tell me."
Concubine Dong Xian's expression changed, her eyes flickered fiercely for a moment, and then she slowly spoke: "...Your Majesty, the truth is probably what the Queen said. However, I would like to add something more. The imperial doctor just said that the Queen
The poison on the Queen's wound will not affect the healing of the wound, but will make it less likely to leave scars. I think the Queen may have misunderstood Wang Zhaoyi."
"Concubine Dong Xian, what do you mean?" Yun Xiyao's face changed drastically, and she turned to glare at Concubine Dong Xian.
"..." Concubine Dong Xian shrank her neck in fear, then lowered her head and stopped talking.
Dongfang Chen shouted coldly: "Queen, shut up! I will investigate all this. However, if you dare to confuse the public, don't blame me for being merciless when the time comes."
"Your Majesty, I don't dare, I am telling the truth." Yun Xiyao's face turned pale and she lowered her head quietly.
Dongfang Chen snorted coldly, turned around and sat on the main seat, and then asked in a deep voice: "Where is the cat? Have you found it?"
"Your Majesty, we have found it." An Fuhai stepped forward and replied respectfully.
"Bring it here. Let the imperial doctor come in and check whether the claws are poisonous." Dongfang Chen ordered with a livid face.
