Stop acting, Your Majesty, the queen knows you're faking it

Chapter 102 Beauty Chen Didn't Drink Tea
Zhou Guiren and Chen Meiren were poisoned because they ate something they shouldn't eat!

Although there had been speculations for a long time, everyone's faces couldn't stop changing when they heard the confirmation from the imperial physician.Especially Concubine Qing and Lin Jieyu, who ate at the same table with the two, felt a little flustered.

"This poison... how long does it take from the entrance to the onset? Is everyone falling down so quickly like them?" Concubine Qing couldn't help asking in a low voice.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, once this poison is taken, it will attack within a moment. If the people present have not eaten within the last quarter of an hour, there is absolutely no possibility of poisoning." Imperial Physician Yang hurriedly bowed and explained.

I believe that after the two fell down, no one present would dare to eat indiscriminately.

Therefore, the imperial physicians are still very relieved of other nobles.

After listening to the imperial physician's assurance, the nobles headed by Concubine Qing and Lin Jieyu felt the tension in their hearts loosen a little.

No one doesn't care about themselves, and making sure you're safe is a relief.

It's just that the food is a little...

Since he was fine, everyone naturally put their minds on the poisoner.

"After the two younger sisters had an accident just now, we never touched the food and tea on the table. I wonder if Imperial Physician Yang can find the thing that poisoned them from the leftover food?" After relaxing a little, Lin Jieyu first give an opinion.

Concubine Qing followed suit and nodded again and again: "Yes, please take a look at what has harmed them. After we are sure, we can track down the real culprit!"

"The minister leads the decree." Such a request is not difficult for imperial physicians.

After a while, Imperial Physician Yang put a few things in front of everyone.

A plate of sweet and sour pork, a plate of sweet-scented osmanthus lotus root, and two cups of tea.

Imperial Physician Yang respectfully reported: "According to my investigation, these three items and the tableware used by the two ladies have traces of poison residues. However, the poison in these two dishes is very small, and the entire dish was never covered...more like , it was contaminated when serving vegetables."

"What about the tea?" Chi Xinian asked.

"The tea itself is poisonous, and the toxicity is not weak." Doctor Yang replied with his head bowed.

"That tea is something that has been poisoned..." Chi Xinian glanced at the teacups of the two of them, and immediately had a little doubt, "It's true that Zhou Guiren drank the tea, but Chen Meiren's teacup did not move." But, why is she poisoned? Are you sure nothing else is poisonous?"

Hearing this, Imperial Physician Yang was also startled.

If both of them drank tea, left poison in their mouths, and then ate some dishes, the situation would make sense now—it was nothing more than the poison getting onto the tableware and dishes through their mouths.

But Chen Meiren didn't drink tea!

Imperial Physician Yang didn't answer immediately, but took the people under his hands to check it carefully again, and then said with a raised brow: "It's true what I just said, there are only a few things that are problematic."

But after thinking about it, he added: "However, the situation of this sweet-scented osmanthus lotus root is different from that of the sweet and sour pork tenderloin. There is a poisonous substance on the edge of this plate of sweet-scented osmanthus lotus root."

"Is it the edge of the dish?" Chi Xinian murmured, subconsciously rubbing his chin with his fingertips.

According to what the imperial physician said and the situation at the scene, Zhou Guiren was unlucky and poisoned, naturally because he drank poisonous tea.But Chen Meiren was not. Someone poisoned her tea, but she didn't drink it. So, that plate of sweet-scented osmanthus lotus root...

Could it be that the extra traces on the edge of the plate were caused by someone poisoning them a second time?
