The Imperial Physician finally arrived and checked on Ruo Xuan and Yin Xiaoxue, confirming they were poisoned.
It wasn't a lethal poison, merely one that induced measles, causing one's entire body to be covered in small, itchy bumps for a few days. Even without medication, the rash would fade away after some time.
But with the selection process looming, such a poisoning was nothing short of malicious!
Wasn't this clearly an attempt to prevent someone from participating in the selection, ruining their future?
The countenances of the ladies and women present all changed upon hearing this!
Was there really poison?
They had been dining with Princess Wuyou, hadn't they?
Some people suddenly felt a tad uncomfortable in their bodies, involuntarily scratching all over, but no bumps appeared.
The Empress Dowager said sternly, "Check which dish was poisoned."
After examining the food again, he reported, "Your Majesty, there is no poison in the food."
