Chapter 184
King Liang put down his chopsticks and cast his gaze on Cui Shangshi.

Cui Shangshi looked heartbroken, "My lord, Queen Mother Yuan ordered the Shangshi Bureau to poison your hot pot... I know that my lord is a hero, so I couldn't bear to poison you, but Xiaobai Dianshan got the order of Queen Mother Yuan, and carried the servant behind my back. It’s still poisoned in the hot pot!”

A big pot was placed directly on Xie Xiaobai's head.

"Fortunately, this servant just found out in time that your hot pot has been tampered with by Xiaobai Dianshan!" Cui Shangshi looked like he was alive after the catastrophe.

Xie Xiaobai hurriedly knelt down, "This slave has never been poisoned, please learn from me, my lord."

She took out her purse from her bosom, and raised her hands above her head, "This is the medicine powder that the queen mother gave to my servant, and this servant has not moved at all."

King Liang stared at Xie Xiaobai, his eyes were dim.

At this moment, the eunuch entered the hall with a pen and ink.

Prince Liang was distracted and looked away, picked up the imperial pen and handed it to the emperor.

He said: "Your Majesty, please give the throne to the Second Prince."

"Who are you talking about? That monk who practiced in the mountains!?" The emperor stiffened his neck, his neck was red with rage, and his veins were bulging. "Since the day he became a monk, he has nothing to do with our royal family! How? Can you succeed?"

Prince Liang thrust the pen into the emperor's hand, "What's so difficult about this? I have sent someone to pick up the second prince. The second prince will return to his secular life soon and inherit the throne."

The sword placed on the emperor's neck tightened, and the blade drew a bloody mark on the emperor's neck.

"I write... I write..." The emperor grabbed the pen and began to write the edict of abdication.

Seeing that the emperor was obedient, King Liang took the purse from Xie Xiaobai's hand, untied the rope outside the purse, took out the medicine bottle from the rope, and threw away the purse, which turned into a piece of rag.

He walked back to his seat, shook all the medicine powder in the porcelain bottle into the hot pot, pointed at a palace servant casually, and said, "You, go and serve the Empress Dowager Yuan for dinner."

"Presumptuous, you actually help the rebels to deal with Aijia!" The Queen Mother Yuan angrily reprimanded the palace servants who were approaching her with a hot pot, and the aura around her was so frightening that the palace servants did not dare to approach her.

The emperor's pen for writing the edict paused, and a drop of ink fell on the edict.

He did not plead for mercy, but glanced at Empress Dowager Yuan who was forcibly fed poison soup, and continued to write the edict with his head down.

There were only a few words in the edict. After the emperor finished writing it, he was about to get the jade seal. Prince Liang couldn't wait any longer and grabbed the imperial edict.

"Writing an imperial edict for the Zen position is very difficult." King Liang threw the jade seal on the edict, leaving a red mark, and walked out with the edict.

……

Since King Liang didn't say what to do with Xie Xiaobai and the others, they were taken to Yeting together.

Also going was the freshly baked Supreme Emperor.

This Supreme Emperor is different from the previous abolished emperor. He knew current affairs and wrote an abdication edict, so the treatment in Yeting was better than that of the previous one.

He was just imprisoned in a remote palace in Yeting. If he behaved well, he would still have a chance to change to a more comfortable confinement environment when the new emperor ascended the throne.

Trapped in the palace together with him were Xie Xiaobai and other "old ministries" of the Supreme Emperor.The same person who had a great reputation in the Daming Palace in the previous session, now receives the long-term meal ticket of Ye Court together with the Supreme Emperor, regardless of high or low.

The sweeper from Ye Ting casually glanced at the Supreme Emperor in the bright yellow dragon robe, and then continued to sweep the floor with his head lowered after his eyes revealed the understanding of "Oh, another person is the emperor again".

The Daming Palace has changed its owner again, and the people in the palace are still carrying out their daily work in an orderly manner, without any signs of panic after changing the day.

This generation of palace people, after many times of changing the throne, is definitely the most stable generation in the Yong Dynasty.

Xie Xiaobai looked at Yeting's palace and joked in his heart:

A few days ago when she came to this court, the court order still thought that her crime was too minor, so she was not qualified to live in the court.

This time, relying on Empress Dowager Yuan's appreciation for her, she successfully moved into Yeting, and won a long-term meal ticket and the best actress neighbor in the harem.

After Cui Shangshi entered Ye Ting, every day he wore a face of disillusionment, and became a salted fish lying on the steps basking in the sun.

If she is paired with a pot of wolfberry, she will have a proper image of an elderly person.

Some people are still young, but they have entered retirement life early.

It was cloudy that day, and Cui Shangshi didn't come out to bask in the sun. Xie Xiaobai found a few taro plants at the base of the wall.

She acted decisively, dug the taro out of the soil, and prepared to make Toshidan to improve meals for herself.

Under her hard work, the palace servants of Tuoyeting brought her some distiller's grains and leftover chaff from Si Shansi.

Xie Xiaobai was wrapping taro in water-soaked paper when a "rustling" sound came from the weeds beside him.

Two human hands stretched out from the pile of weeds, Xie Xiaobai was so frightened that he reflexively threw the taro in his hands towards the human hands.

Taro hit an "object" firmly.

"Bah, what is it?" Xie Xiaobai's familiar girl's voice came from the pile of weeds, and the two hands tore off the weeds, revealing the head of Princess Fifteen.

Half of her body was stuck in the dog hole.

"Why are you here? And..." Xie Xiaobai glanced at Goudong and said, "You don't take the usual path."

"Bah!" Princess Fifteen spat out the weed leaves in her mouth, "Come and give me a hand!"

Xie Xiaobai pulled the fifteenth princess out, and the fifteenth princess picked up the "culprit" taro that had just hit her, her eyes widened.

"You actually took the emperor's water-patterned paper bag..." Princess Fifteen opened the paper bag, "What is this?"

Xie Xiaobai took the taro from the fifteenth princess, wrapped it again, and poured in the heated wine lees, "This is taro. I am making Tu Zhi Dan. Do you want to eat it?"

"Do you know how valuable water pattern paper is!" The fifteenth princess's heart was bleeding.

"Now I know. The Supreme Emperor himself didn't want this paper. He said he was upset when he saw it. I used these papers in a very considerate manner, as a solution to the Supreme Emperor's worries."

Xie Xiaobai cooked it in the same way, processed all the taro, lit a fire, and roasted the taro with chaff.

The fifteenth princess sat on the ground and asked Xie Xiaobai curiously, "You are trapped in Yeting, but you are not worried about your own safety at all?"

"Can you let me out if I'm worried?" Xie Xiaobai took out the cooked Tu Zhi Dan and rubbed his hands until they were very hot. "As the saying goes, a cook who doesn't want to do a quick job is not a good palace maid."

Princess Fifteen: "Why can't I understand what you are talking about?"

"Nothing." Xie Xiaobai tore open the water-grained paper that had been baked so that the original appearance could no longer be seen, and handed the taro inside to the fifteenth princess, "Here, this is tofu baked with water-grained paper that is said to be hard to buy for a lot of money. Dan, do you have a special taste?"

Princess Fifteen was holding Tochidan, and carefully took a bite of the taro that melted in the mouth, "It doesn't have any special taste..."

Xie Xiaobai also peeled one out, took a bite of the fragrant and glutinous taro, and said intoxicatedly: "Mmm~ I tasted it, it tastes like silver~"

Princess Fifteen: "..."
