Jue Yu explained: “The cake and snacks and every meal within the Palace was cooked in the Imperial Kitchen before being delivered to each and every Palace. All along during the process, it had been inspected strictly. It was nearly impossible to poison the food. Needless to mention about the food which is about to be given to the Empress Dowager. The Palace’s servants who acted as the food testers are about five to six people. If they truly intended to put the poison, and placed the blame on the Empress Dowager, the only way they could make their move was to smear the poison on the wooden case which the food was packed. However, I had cautiously investigated, this wooden box’s exterior, the base inside, the tray, even the handle, all of them did not contain the poison, therefore, I am certain that the poison must be inside the food, during the cooking process it had already been mixed in with the poison. Jue Yu has the nerve to make a speculation on this matter. This food container wasn’t really coming from the Imperial Kitchen. It was the Empress Dowager who ordered someone to make them in her own Palace. The Empress Dowager packed the poisoned food inside this box, made The Little Prince bring it and give it to be eaten by The Blind Concubine. The Blind Concubine has always loved the Little Prince, of course he wouldn’t suspect that there was something unusual inside the cake. Today, if it wasn’t for Yu Li, I wonder if The Blind Concubine and The Little Prince would have lost their lives at the same time.”
Xiao Bao was extremely stunned by this: “When the Empress Dowager handed over this cake to the Little Prince, surely she fully understood that the Little Prince also might eat the cake as well. Rui Ze, however we see is also the Empress Dowager’s own son that she personally raised. How could the Empress Dowager harm him?”
Jue Yu made a cold laugh: “The most poisonous is the heart of a married woman. Rui Ze wasn’t really the son of the Empress Dowager. No matter how much he is being loved, when the time to abandon him should come, he would be abandoned without the slightest amount of hesitation. On the other side, The Emperor is truly her only son, in order to help the Emperor to achieve his goal, whatever it is, in the Empress Dowager eyes, nothing couldn’t be sacrificed.”
The Emperor knitted his brows, “The Empress Dowager ever since long ago didn’t want me to meddle in the Palace’s general affairs anymore, why did she want to do this?”
Jue Yu meaningfully threw a quick glance at the inner room, “I wonder if this matter has something to do with The Blind Concubine’s past which we can’t just ignore.”
The Emperor’s heart skipped a beat, said: “The Blind Concubine entered the Palace seven years ago. Not long after he entered the Palace, his eyes were hurt and he became blind. Soon afterward, he was cast away to the Cold Palace. Seven years ago, do you have any memory about any occasion seven years ago?”
Jue Yu asked: “Seven years ago?”
“Exactly!”
Jue Yu couldn’t help but widened his eyes: “Your Majesty doesn’t remember at all??”
The Emperor felt weird, then asked back: “Remember what?”
Jue Yu raised his brows: “Seven years ago, wasn’t it when the previous Emperor met his demise and Your Majesty ascended the throne?”
