Dumb Queen

Chapter 177: Poppies 3
Xuanzong summoned Concubine Quan in the side hall.

When Concubine Quan entered the palace for the first time, she still had joy on her face: "The concubine sees the emperor."

Her smiling appearance looked more like gloating in Xuanzong's eyes, so she couldn't help feeling even more hatred.Xuanzong asked nonchalantly: "Today, who did you meet in the Imperial Garden?"

Concubine Quan raised her surprised gaze: "Huh?"

"Tell me." Xuanzong's voice was beyond doubt.

Concubine Quan said: "Concubine... and Concubine Wei met Zhuang Yi together."

"anything else?"

"No more," Concubine Quan felt relieved, "I haven't seen anything else."

Xuanzong stared at Concubine Quan with sinister eyes: "So, what have you done in the Imperial Garden?"

Concubine Quan immediately blushed and lowered her head: "Chenqie...Chenqie, I didn't say anything."

"Oh? Then why did I hear people say that you made fun of Zhuang Yi in the imperial garden, and even slapped her?" Xuanzong said holding back his temper.

Concubine Quan fell to her knees with a plop, with beads of sweat dripping from her forehead: "Your Majesty, forgive me, this concubine didn't do it on purpose. The concubine did that because Zhuang Yi was too...too arrogant."

"What kind of arrogance?"

"Relying on the emperor's favor, she ran amok in the palace, and the concubine couldn't stand it for a while, so..." Concubine Quan began to make up nonsense.

"It's just nonsense!" Xuanzong repeated the case, "Concubine Quan, you are too presumptuous!"

Concubine Quan was intimidated when she saw Xuanzong's great momentum: "Minister... Chenqie..."

"Don't think that I didn't know what you said and did because I wasn't there," Xuanzong looked down on Concubine Quan who was kneeling on the ground, "Do you know that Zhuang Yi has been poisoned now?"

"what?"

Xuanzong leaned down: "You are such a simple-minded woman, you actually thought of using poppies to harm people?"

"What poppies?" Concubine Quan's face was horrified, "I don't know."

Xuanzong sneered: "Your second uncle is an imperial physician, don't lie to me that you don't even know that poppies are poisonous."

Concubine Quan was really embarrassed, what does it have to do with her family that her second uncle is an imperial doctor?She suddenly realized: "Is the emperor suspicious of his concubine?"
