Chapter 936

If it really was Empress Dowager Zhou, even if doctor Zhang saved her, she wouldn't be able to escape Empress Dowager Zhou's hands sooner or later.

This was because in the royal palace, Empress Dowager Zhou was the head of the harem. If she wanted to disappear without a trace, she had too many tricks up her sleeves.

Chen Ning had just entered the palace, how could she fight against Empress Dowager Zhou?

Should he tell this guess to the emperor so that the emperor can take precautions?

Ye Ting Xuan hesitated for a bit before shaking his head.

It couldn't be Empress Dowager Zhou!

His eyes fell onto the gift box in his hand.

He could confirm once again that this matter had nothing to do with Empress Dowager Zhou.

This was because the poisonous snake was placed in the gift the Eldest Princess sent into the palace. The one who opened the gift box could be the emperor or Chen Ning.

If Empress Dowager Zhou sent someone to do this, would she not think that this snake would bite the emperor?

Even if she hated Chen Ning and wanted Chen Ning to die, she was still the emperor's mother and she couldn't bear to let the emperor be in any danger. Not to mention that the emperor was most afraid of snakes. As a mother, how could she let her son suffer the same kind of fear again?

So it definitely couldn't be Empress Dowager Zhou!

But other than Empress Dowager Zhou, what other girl would be bold enough to harm the emperor? What grudge or hatred did she have with the emperor?

Could it be hatred because of love? Unthinkable?

According to Ye Ting Xuan's knowledge, there were countless women in the capital city that admired the emperor and there were countless young ladies that wanted to climb up the branches to become phoenixes. It was very likely that the murderer was one of them. Because she heard that the emperor was getting married and wanted to marry someone else, she was filled with jealousy and had the intent to kill!

Ye Ting Xuan deeply knit his brows, thinking that this would be very difficult. Finding the murderer was like finding a needle in a haystack.

That maid definitely wasn't the mastermind. It was very likely that she had been bribed by someone else and then used the poisonous black flower snake to exchange for the Eldest Princess' toothless snake.

That person didn't care if the person bitten by the snake was the emperor or the empress. She just wanted to kill and take revenge!

No matter who was bitten by the snake, that person would achieve their goal!

This person ….. had such a vicious heart! Such a sinister plan!

Ye Ting Xuan's heart was filled with rage. He wanted to immediately return to the Eldest Princess' palace and find the murderer. This kind of person definitely couldn't be left in this world, otherwise he would use this poison again to kill people!

The next person he wanted to kill was very likely the emperor or the Eldest Princess!

Right at that moment, he suddenly heard the sound of hurried hooves coming from outside the palace. Two horses were rushing towards Guan Osprey Palace one after the other.

Horses were strictly forbidden in the inner courtyard of the Imperial Palace. Those who dared to ride on a horse in the Imperial Palace were either the Emperor or had a matter of life and death.

Ye Ting Xuan's eyes instantly lit up.

Ye Ting Xuan's eyes lit up. Sure enough, the horse hooves stopped at the palace gates and a grey figure flashed in. Behind the grey figure was Xiao Si.

"Zhui Feng, slow down. Don't break doctor Zhang, he still needs to save the empress!"

That grey figure was Zhui Feng, he had always been by doctor Zhang's side. Suddenly hearing the news from Xiao Si, he and doctor Zhang were so scared that their limbs turned cold.
