Chapter 1378 2.814 Don’t Know Whether to Live or Die

"No, I didn't, I didn't! Crown Princess, I definitely did not poison the Queen Mother, Crown Princess! Your Majesty, Your Majesty! Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please be clear to me!!" The palace maid came forward on her knees excitedly, He kept kowtowing in front of the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother looked at her coldly, "What do you mean by that, does the Crown Princess frame you?"

"No, no! I don't dare, slave! No, slave, that's not what I meant." The palace maid stammered.

Feng Gu was so angry that she was shaking all over. She stepped forward and slapped the palace maid twice, "Caiqin, you have been following the Queen Mother for many years. How dare you do such a stupid thing today?"

"Aunt Feng, I don't, it wasn't me, it wasn't me!!"

"Shut up!" Feng Gu shouted angrily, "I asked you to prepare everything today. You will handle everything. Who else do you want to blame?"

The palace maid named Caiqin knelt there and bit her lips, looking like she had been greatly wronged. "There must be nothing wrong with this tea. If the Queen Mother doesn't believe it, I'm willing to drink it!"

After saying that, without waiting for the frowning Queen Mother to speak, she grabbed the steaming cup of tea with one hand and drank it all in one breath. When she finished, she choked and coughed violently.

When she raised her eyes, she saw the Crown Princess and the Crown Prince standing not far from her. Both of them looked at her as if they were living corpses, which made people's hearts tremble.

"Peony."

"Shaoyao is here!" Shaoyao took a step forward.

"Go and feed her a piece of the plate of pastries on the table."

As soon as Caiqin heard this, she immediately trembled all over and collapsed to the ground almost immediately.

No one present who was not a human spirit understood everything immediately when they saw the palace maid's reaction.

Queen Zhao stood up in anger, "You're such a naughty slave! How dare you poison the Queen Mother! Come here!"

"Here!" The guards waiting outside the palace immediately took a step toward the door and swarmed in.

However, at this time, Shaoyao had already grabbed one of the palace maid Caiqin's arms and forced the pastry into her mouth.

In just a moment, Caiqin's face began to turn red, and then turned black. She fell to the ground with rapid and difficult breathing, curled up and struggled, and finally her limbs became rigid and died.

This process only takes a few minutes.

Everyone's hair stood on end and their whole bodies shuddered.

The toxicity of this poison is so strong that there is no room for counterattack.

Qiao Mu said calmly, "According to my grandmother's eating habits, I will only take two or three bites of this pastry. It is not as toxic as swallowing a whole piece. It can be rescued afterwards."

The king was so angry that he trembled all over and slapped the desk, "This is such a bastard. Go and find out who he is who has such a vicious mind and dares to do this."

"This poison is so powerful, if that person is thrown into the palace without knowing what is going on, what's the point?" Empress Zhao said worriedly.

Qiao Mu shook his head, "These two toxins are extremely difficult to refine and can only be released in a small area."

The king's heart was slightly calmed down, but he was still a little dissatisfied, "You killed this palace maid, how can you ask her about the person behind the scenes?"

"No need to ask." The Queen Mother sighed and shook her head, "I think I should know who it is."

Everyone was stunned and turned their attention to the Queen Mother.
