An Fuhai responded, walked to the door, waved to a little eunuch outside, and the little eunuch walked in holding a somewhat embarrassed white cat.
Then, An Fuhai said to the two imperial doctors standing outside the door: "You two, the emperor lets you in."
The two imperial doctors came in, picked up the cat's paw and examined it carefully, then turned to Dongfang Chen, "Your Majesty, the cat's claw is indeed poisonous, it's the same kind of poison as the one on the queen's face."
Dongfang Chen narrowed his eyes. For some reason, he thought of what happened at Yun Mansion the day before yesterday.
Suppressing the strange feeling in his heart, Dongfang Chen asked again: "Who is Xiangqin?"
The palace maid in green who was kneeling in the corner shrank for a moment, then stepped forward tremblingly: "It's a slave."
Dongfang Chen narrowed his eyes coldly, "Did the cat escape from your arms?"
"Yes...yes." The palace maid in green, Xiangqin, was so frightened that she fell to the ground and replied tremblingly.
"Tell me? Why did that cat go crazy suddenly? Why are there poisons on her claws?" Dongfang Chen's voice suddenly became cold and stern.
"My slave... my slave doesn't know." Xiangqin shook even more violently.
Dongfang Chen's voice was like thousands of years of ice, floating lightly: "Really? You'd better tell the truth, otherwise I will find out something, and I won't let you go easy!"
Dongfang Chen followed the sound with his cold eyes.
"Slave...slave, you deserve to die!" A palace maid in pink turned pale and quickly lowered her body.
Dongfang Chen narrowed his cold eyes and spoke slowly: "Do you know something? Tell me."
The palace maid in pink hesitated for a moment, straightened up, walked forward on her knees, and said nervously: "Your Majesty, I have something to report!"
"Say it!" Dongfang Chen said coldly.
"Yes...it's Xiangqin...Xiangqin put the poison on the cat's paw." The palace maid in pink shook for a long time, then pointed at Xiangqin and said loudly.
Everyone looked at Xiangqin in surprise, including Yun Xiyao.
"You...you're talking nonsense!" Xiangqin's face instantly turned pale and she couldn't help shouting back.
"Shut up! How dare you yell in front of me! An Fuhai, slap your mouth!" Dark clouds suddenly formed on Dongfang Chen's face.
"Yes." An Fuhai responded and winked at a young eunuch. The young eunuch stepped forward, bent down, and slapped Xiangqin.
Xiangqin screamed in pain at first, and then she endured it, not daring to make a louder sound, and just kept humming. Soon, her face became swollen, and blood flowed from the corners of her mouth.
Obscene.
"Okay, stop!" Dongfang Chen pressed his hand, and then said to the pink-clad palace maid: "Okay, you continue."
"Yes, Your Majesty." The maid in pink took a deep breath and spoke slowly, "Before the Empress came to invite Empress Zhaoyi to appreciate the chrysanthemums, my servant accidentally saw Xiangqin holding a cat in her arms and smearing something on the cat's paws.
.The slave didn’t know what she was doing at the time, so she didn’t pay much attention. Now that I think about it, it’s definitely her. Usually, she is the one taking care of the cat for the queen.”
Dongfang Chen's face was full of rage, and he slowly turned to Xiangqin. His voice was as cold as hailstones, "Damn slave, do you still dare to deny it now? Tell me, who ordered you to do this?"
"No... that's not the case... Your Majesty... this servant really doesn't..." Xiangqin turned pale with fright and explained incoherently.
"It seems that she won't be able to fight if she doesn't. Come here, pull her down and beat her to death. Let's see if she can fight." Dongfang Chen said angrily.
An Fuhai waved his hand, and the two eunuchs picked up Xiangqin and walked out. Xiangqin suddenly screamed in fear: "Your Majesty... have mercy on me... Your Majesty... I really don't know anything..."
Soon, the sound of crackling sticks and the screams of Xiangqin could be heard in the yard. Everyone in the house turned a little pale.
