Empress Min had always been in good health, never known to have any ailments.
Yesterday, Li Shao came to the banquet for no apparent reason, and then Empress Min suddenly fell to the ground, unable to get up.
Looking at Empress Min, it was clear she was poisoned. However, all the Imperial Physicians from the entire Imperial Hospital of Tang Yuan were mobilized, taking turns without being able to figure out the cause.
Li Shao pushed away Crown Prince Li Cheng's hand, speaking with visible displeasure.
"Li Cheng, what nonsense are you talking about? Which set of eyes saw me poisoning? Moreover, that evening, both you and two esteemed guests from Dihong City were present, sharing the same drinks and food. Nobody else got poisoned, only the Empress was affected; what makes you qualified to accuse me of poisoning?" Li Shao was also surprised when he saw Empress Min collapse yesterday.
Although Empress Min is the Empress, she's not favored, so why would Li Shao bother killing her?
