Emperor Guang 'an had hesitated before whether he should poison the Empress Dowager.
He had lived two lifetimes and had never killed anyone before. It was inevitable that he would be a little nervous.
However, the Emperor of Guang Dong would not feel any psychological burden if he killed a notorious and vicious woman like Empress Dowager Xi. Even though Empress Dowager Xi was his adoptive mother and his biological mother was his biological sister.
However, for the sake of the country and the people, the Empress Dowager had to die. This way, they could stop them from continuing to harm this country. Only then could the country have hope and possibility of rejuvenation, and prevent this ancient country from suffering those humiliations.
Thinking of this, the Emperor of Guang Dong was more determined to send the Empress Dowager of the West to the west.
On the night of the 9th day of the 9th month, the emperor went to pay his respects to the Empress Dowager of the West as usual to show his respect.
The Empress Dowager of the West paid great attention to these rules. She always showed that she was the most honorable person in the Forbidden City, indicating that she was the true ruler of the Ming Empire.
"Your son pays his respects to your biological father!" The Emperor of Guang Dong kowtowed to the Empress Dowager of the West respectfully.
"Yes, get up!" Empress Dowager Xi had been in a good mood recently, so she naturally wouldn't make things difficult for the Emperor.
In her opinion, the Emperor of Guang Zhou was very sensible. He did not fight for power with her and allowed her to control the government smoothly.
At this moment, Li Lianying walked in with a bowl of ginseng soup.
"Empress Dowager, this is the ginseng soup that the imperial kitchen made. Drink it while it's hot!”Li Lianying's face was filled with a fawning smile.
"Have you tested it?" Empress Dowager Xi asked.
Empress Dowager Xi was a very suspicious person. Especially after she killed Empress Dowager Dong, she was often worried that others would use the same method to kill her. Therefore, he was especially vigilant when it came to food.
"The two servants have already eaten. There's no problem!”Li Lianying replied.
Empress Dowager Xi nodded, but she was still not completely at ease.
"Try it with a silver needle!"
"Tsk! This servant obeys!" Li Lianying replied.
Then, Li Lianying found a silver needle and inserted it into the bowl. When he took it out again, the silver needle did not change at all. The Empress Dowager nodded in satisfaction.
During this process, the emperor of Guang Dong stood with his body bowed, appearing very respectful.
In fact, he had his head lowered and was thinking about how to poison her.
Just as Li Lianying was about to ask the Empress Dowager to drink the ginseng soup with a spoon, the Emperor's eyes lit up as if he had found an opportunity.
"Wait!" the emperor of Guang Dong said.
Empress Dowager Xi and Li Lianying looked at the Emperor of Guang Dong in surprise, not understanding what he was trying to do.
"Father, your son has been working hard for the country during this period of time. Father, please allow me to feed you soup to show my filial piety!”The Emperor of Guang Dong spoke very sincerely.
"Empress Dowager, His Majesty is also filial!”Li Lianying said.
The Empress Dowager nodded." Good. The Emperor has finally grown up." Aijia allows it!"
The Empress Dowager of the West looked very comforted.
The emperor took the ginseng soup from Li Lianying and made a gesture of blowing the soup to prevent it from being too hot. During this process, his fingernails moved slightly. Some of the powder he had hidden under his fingernails fell into the soup bowl. The Emperor stirred it a few times with a spoon, then scooped a spoonful and fed it to the Empress Dowager.
The Empress Dowager of the West did not notice anything unusual at all and drank the soup in big mouthfuls.
Perhaps it was because the Emperor of Guang 'an was very kind and filial, which made the Empress Dowager of the West, who had lost her son, very moved. Empress Dowager Xi finished the bowl of ginseng soup.
After that, the Emperor returned to Yangxin Palace Hall on the grounds that he did not want to disturb the Empress Dowager's rest.
Next, he had to wait.
The Emperor believed that the Empress Dowager of the West would die tonight.
What he wanted to do was to quickly take control of this country after the death of the Empress Dowager.
Now, Empress Dowager Xi had already firmly controlled the finances of the Ming Empire. Her biggest political enemy, the Gong Prince, had been removed from his post. The entire court was filled with the Empress Dowager's people. As long as the Emperor of Guang Dong could successfully take in these people, he would be able to control the situation. After that, he could slowly deal with these guys after he stabilized his power.
Once it entered the human body, it would disintegrate into cyan ions. This kind of ion could firmly combine with the iron ions in the human body's mitochondria, so that it could no longer become a secondary iron ion, causing a series of biochemical reactions in the cells to be unable to continue, so that the cells could no longer use the oxygen in the blood to suffocate quickly. At the same time, due to the lack of energy produced by breathing, the central nervous system would quickly lose its function, which would then cause the human body to suffer from symptoms such as paralysis of the respiratory muscles, cardiac arrest, and multiple organ failure.
After the Empress Dowager drank the ginseng soup that contained cyanidation, she had a reaction in less than half an hour. Her breathing became rapid, and she became even more agitated.
When Li Lianying saw this, she was scared out of her wits and immediately sent someone to find the imperial physician.
However, when the imperial physician arrived, the Empress Dowager was already dead.
This frightened Li Lianying, the imperial physician, and the eunuchs and serving girls of Chuxiu Palace.
Empress Dowager Xi was their biggest backer! Now that the Empress Dowager was dead, would they have a good ending?
