The Queen did not expect that each of her questions would be more cunning and direct than the last.

She was silent for a while and then said: "The Emperor is old and experienced the tragic death of Concubine Jin. Now he is weak. He just needs to find someone to support him. There is nothing wrong with practicing Taoism."

"It's okay to practice Taoism, but what's going on when he eats those elixirs? Do you know that those things can kill people?"

Concubine Yu was shocked: "What, the emperor is taking the elixir? Where did the elixir come from?"

This was the first time she heard about it.

Yun Dai raised her chin at the Queen: "Of course I have to ask the Queen."

"Why is the Queen so vicious and harming the Emperor?" Concubine Yu looked at the Queen with eyes that almost burst into flames.

"What a joke!" the Queen sneered, "I have been married to the Emperor for decades, how can my relationship be comparable to that of others? I rely on the Emperor to be what I am today. Please tell me, what reasons do I have? What good will it do to me to harm the Emperor?"

Concubine Yu subconsciously looked towards Jiang Ning.

Indeed, she could not think of any reason for the queen to harm the emperor.

Is there no motive for murder?

Jiang Ning said calmly: "Of course the Queen has a motive."

"What is it?" Concubine Yu asked.

"For herself and her family."

"Ah?" Concubine Yu seemed to understand, but she didn't seem to understand.

The emperor has feelings for the queen. As long as the emperor lives well, the queen and her family will naturally survive.

So, why did she want to harm the emperor.

Gu Feng moved a chair over, Jiang Ning sat down and said, "The Queen is really a good daughter who dedicated herself to the family and died."

The queen's expression changed slightly: "Crown Princess, you are so presumptuous!"

Jiang Ning said slowly: "The Queen provided the elixir to the emperor. Doesn't she know that eating too much elixir is bad for your health?"

"Who said elixirs are bad for your health? They are made from the most precious medicinal materials and are of great benefit to your body!" The queen defended in a hoarse voice, "What do you know? You have seen His Majesty in good health for two years? What if it weren't for the elixir? Hanging, he has long been..."

Concubine Yu stepped forward: "Why is the emperor like this?"

"Haha, Concubine Yu, it seems that you haven't slept with me for a long time, right?"

"Speak quickly!" Concubine Yu ignored her sarcasm and asked hurriedly.

"Do you think, with the emperor's age, why he still favors the new concubines every night?" The queen said with a mocking face, "Since the birth of the sixth prince, have you slept with him? Do you know the emperor's physical condition? "

Concubine Yu was speechless and said after a while: "If the elixir is really good for your health, why don't you use it yourself?"

Jiang Ning said: "Concubine Yu, don't be misled by her words. What the queen said is nothing more than an excuse to comfort herself for harming the emperor."

"I did not harm the emperor!"

"Let me tell you, why the emperor refuses to punish you? It turns out that you are using things like Taoist elixir to deceive the emperor." Jiang Ning pressed forward step by step, "Let me speculate. Queen, you know that the emperor's health is getting worse and worse. , worried that once the prince ascends the throne, you and your family will be completely destroyed. So you took advantage of the emperor's longing for Concubine Jin and encouraged the emperor to practice Taoism and take pills..."

"What does the Emperor's missing Concubine Jin have to do with practicing Taoism!"

"The Queen really doesn't shed tears until she sees the coffin." Jiang Ning glanced at Gu Feng, who nodded and greeted outside, "Bring people in."
