"Why did you poison the food? Who instructed you to do that?" Xiao Yanbao asked.
The maid had a horrified expression on her face, "Little Princess, I didn't poison you. I really didn't poison you."
Emperor Lan Qian was stunned and looked at Xiao Yanbao. Didn't he already have the True Words Talisman pasted on him? How could he still refute it?
"So you know who poisoned me?" Xiao Yanbao asked again.
The maid shook her head and said, "I don't know."
This time, little Yanbao was also a little surprised.
Since it was not this palace maid who poisoned and no one knows who did, why did Dahuang say that there was something wrong with this palace maid?
"Then why are you so scared?" Emperor Lan Qian frowned.
The palace maid looked up at Emperor Lan Qian and then quickly lowered her head.
"Your Majesty, Sister Taoyao originally told Bihe to keep an eye on the 'Fu Shou Quan', but Bihe suddenly had a stomachache, so she asked me to help keep an eye on it. On the way to Zichen Palace, I also suddenly had a severe stomachache. A young eunuch happened to pass by, and I was really anxious, so I asked him to help look after it for a while..."
"That means the dish has left your sight and passed through someone else's hands." Emperor Lan Qian said sternly.
The maid trembled, "Yes, Your Majesty, it's really that I have a stomachache..."
"Then do you know which palace that little eunuch is from?" Emperor Lan Qian interrupted the palace maid.
"Your servant, I just think that young eunuch looks familiar, but I don't know which palace he is from."
Emperor Lan Qian kicked the palace maid to the ground.
The maid endured the pain and climbed up again. "Although I don't know which palace that eunuch is from, I saw a heart-shaped red mole on his left wrist."
Emperor Lan Qian was about to order people to drag the palace maid down and behead her.
After hearing what the palace maid said, he changed the words that were about to come out of his mouth.
"Pan Taihe, take people to investigate and bring here all the eunuchs with moles on their wrists." Emperor Lan Qian said coldly.
"And there are palace maids." Xiao Yanbao added.
Pan Taihe looked at Emperor Lan Qian.
"Then investigate as the little princess said, and bring the maid named Bihe here."
There is also the possibility of women dressing up as men.
Xiao Yanbao squatted down and grabbed the maid's wrist, "What's your name?"
The palace maid looked at Xiao Yanbao in surprise, "My servant is Jinxin."
If one palace maid suddenly had a stomachache, it might be a coincidence, but if both of them had stomachaches, it might not be the case.
The voice of Ruyi Medical Classic appeared in Xiao Yanbao's mind.
[Master, there is no sign of poison in this palace maid. ]
Xiao Yanbao frowned, wondering if he was overthinking.
"Yan Bao, was this palace maid poisoned?" asked Emperor Lan Qian.
He also felt that it was too coincidental that one or two of them had stomachaches. Either the palace maids were lying, or the food they ate had been tampered with.
However, Yan Bao had put a truth talisman on this palace maid, so the possibility of her lying was extremely small.
"Dad, Jinxin is not poisoned." Xiao Yanbao replied.
Emperor Lan Qian: So this palace maid is lying. She can still lie even after using Yan Bao’s truth talisman. Who is this palace maid?
Emperor Lan Qian's eyes became even more fierce.
There is such a hidden person in Queen Hui's palace.
"Who are you? Who sent you to the Queen's Palace? If you tell the truth, you will suffer less physical pain. Otherwise, you will be sent to the Ministry of Punishment."
When Jin Xin heard that she was going to be sent to the Ministry of Criminal Justice, she turned pale with fear and kowtowed repeatedly, "Your Majesty, no one ordered me to do this. I am just a little palace maid. Your Majesty, I really didn't poison you. I am loyal to the Queen and the little princess. I really didn't poison you!"
Emperor Lan Qian had a gloomy face, as if he was considering whether what Jin Xin said was true or false.
In fact, he was waiting for Dahuang to speak.
[Master, this poison should not have been administered by this palace maid. She should have no idea about it.]
At this time, the Jinyiwei came over with a palace maid.
Xiao Yanbao knew this maid, Bihe. Although she was not a close servant of her mother, she had seen this maid in her mother's palace.
She also knew her name, not because she paid special attention to it, but because she had heard Tao Yao call her name.
Ever since she learned that the Thirteenth Prince was poisoned after eating the "Fu Shou Quan" dish, Bi He has become uneasy.
Taoyao had specifically told her about this dish, "Fu Shou Quan", which was made specially for the little princess by the empress. She must not be careless, must keep an eye on the heat and must not let her eyes off it.
As a result, I don’t know what happened today, my stomach started to hurt for no apparent reason.
And it was so urgent that she had already gone to the toilet three times.
As soon as the Jinyiwei came to find her, she knew it was all over.
Even though she was not the one who poisoned her, she couldn't escape it.
So she knelt down as soon as she arrived.
"This servant deserves to die. Please punish me, Your Majesty."
Emperor Lan Qian raised his eyebrows, "Did you poison me?"
"Your Majesty, I didn't poison you, but Sister Taoyao told me not to leave my sight until Fu Shou Quan was served at the palace banquet. But I suddenly had a stomachache and gave Fu Shou Quan to Jin Xin to take care of. It's my fault, Your Majesty, please punish me."
Emperor Lan Qian realized that the poison was not given by the palace maid in Empress Hui's palace, but by someone else, probably the little eunuch.
Xiao Yanbao went over and grabbed Bihe's wrist, but Ruyi Yidian still said that Bihe was not poisoned.
[They were not poisoned, but they all had diarrhea one after another. How could it be such a coincidence? They were all looking at "Fu Shou Quan".]
[Master, they must have eaten something.]
"Bihe, what did you eat today?" Xiao Yan asked.
Bihe and Jinxin looked at each other with confusion in their eyes.
"We all eat the same thing, nothing special..." Jin Xin seemed to remember something halfway through her words.
"I just ate some candied fruits." Jin Xin continued.
Bihe looked at Jinxin, "You ate candied fruit too?"
Little Yanbao quickly became alert, "Are there any more candied fruits? Show them to me."
Both of them shook their heads, "No more, we ate them all."
"Yan Bao, do you suspect that the candied fruit is poisonous?" asked Emperor Lan Qian.
"We ate the candied fruit ourselves, but we didn't put it in 'Fu Shou Quan'! Besides, the candied fruit is not poisonous. We have eaten it many times." Jin Xin said quickly.
"Where do you come from, candied fruits?" asked Emperor Lan Qian.
If it happened once or twice, it might be a reward from Queen Hui, but if it happened many times, then it was not the case.
They were not the palace maids who served Queen Hui closely.
How could palace maids like them afford to eat such expensive candied fruits regularly?
The two people stammered, "I bought it."
"Who bought it from? Outside the palace?" Emperor Lan Qian continued to ask.
Jinxin and Bihe didn't know why the emperor was chasing after the candied fruits, and what the Thirteenth Prince's poisoning had to do with their eating of the candied fruits.
"It was sold to us by Xiao Liuzi, the handyman in the imperial kitchen. It's very cheap. Buy one and get five free. It's only one penny, and it tastes better than the candied fruits made by Zhenguozhai." Bihe said.
Upon hearing this, Emperor Lan Qian frowned even more tightly.
