Seeing that she was discovered, Mo Yaohua was disheartened and quickly interrupted, "Madam Liang Fei, I have an unreasonable request."

Concubine Liang looked at her with a frown, "What are you trying to do again? Can't you just be quiet for a while?"

Mo Yaohua's voice was as soft as a mosquito's hum. "I dare not, but I have a stomachache right now and I want to go to the bathroom..."

"What?" Yuchi Jiuyue reacted immediately, "Could it be that this strange smell is because you have already..."

Her eyes widened in shock. She could never have imagined that Mo Yaohua couldn't hold back and was rude in front of Concubine Liang.

Concubine Liang covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief in disgust, "Take her out quickly, and light a few more incense sticks to get rid of this smell."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Caiyu responded and nodded to the two palace maids who were standing by with their heads bowed, and asked them to take Mo Yaohua out.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. I'll take my leave first." Mo Yaohua crossed her legs in a strange posture and walked out in small steps.

She lowered her head so low that she wished she could hide it directly in the collar of her clothes. After what happened today, how could Concubine Liang accept her?

But she tried very hard to hold it in. However, how could she control something like a stomach upset? It was all because of Madam Wu who asked her to take croton seeds!

"I will say I will come with the prince tomorrow. If she insists on coming, she won't confuse right and wrong and say I forced her, right?"

Yuchi Jiuyue raised her voice intentionally so that Mo Yaohua, who had not yet left the hall, could hear it and interrupt her thoughts.

"Don't be afraid. There will be witnesses to what you said. You should talk to Prince Qi tonight. Don't give her the chance to file a complaint first."

Concubine Liang still covered her mouth and nose with one hand and raised the other hand. Caiyu immediately stepped forward and helped her to stand up.

"I understand. Thank you, mother, for your advice." Although Yuchi Jiuyue didn't know what she was going to do, she also stood up.

Concubine Liang disliked the smell here, so she went to the side hall. She was the only master in Changchun Palace.

During this period, Yuchi Jiuyue hinted to Concubine Liang in various ways, saying that Mo Yaohua deliberately did something to him in order to avoid going to the palace to apologize.

The palace maids did not help Mo Yaohua go to the toilet. Instead, Qinghua and Nanny Wu, who were waiting outside, served her and changed her clothes.

When Mo Yaohua came back refreshed, the imperial physician was already waiting there. She was forced to have him take her pulse as soon as she entered the hall.

The imperial physician did not diagnose that she had caught a cold, but only diagnosed that she had gastrointestinal problems, and it was very likely that she had eaten something bad.

Yuchi Jiyue pointed out something, "Luckily, my sister didn't eat anything in my yard yesterday, otherwise I would have been suspected of poisoning her."

Concubine Liang ordered in a cold voice, "Let Concubine Shu's maid come in to question her. This lowly slave who neglected her duty caused Concubine Shu to get hurt."

She has been in the deep palace for many years, and Mo Yaohua's little tricks are just a show of skill in front of an expert. Although she looks down on it, she will not forgive him.

If he dares to play tricks on her, he will definitely do it again if he is not punished. She doesn't want to bother dealing with it.

"My Lady Liang Fei, I'm fine. It's just that I was injured during childbirth and I haven't recovered yet. My health is not good."

Mo Yaohua wanted to gain sympathy by using her difficult childbirth experience, but unfortunately she overestimated herself and Concubine Liang had no sympathy for her.

Qinghua and Nanny Wu were soon summoned in and questioned by the head aunt of Changchun Palace, who was as majestic as if she was interrogating them.

The imperial physician asked some questions about yesterday's diet in order to determine what Mo Yaohua had eaten that caused the abdominal pain and diarrhea.

There was nothing wrong with what Mo Yaohua ate, so this was very unreasonable, so the imperial physician examined her again.

This time he was more careful and really found the problem. He thought it was poisoning, but the toxicity was not strong enough to be diagnosed in time.

Yuchi Jiuyue already knew the truth, so he deliberately pointed to the croton, which is a poisonous substance and would cause abdominal pain and diarrhea.

"Tell me, what kind of poison did you give to the concubine?" Concubine Liang said in a gesture of standing up for Mo Yaohua, "Who instructed you to do this?"

"I am innocent. I have never poisoned the concubine." Qinghua knew about it but did not report it, and did not get involved.

It was Nanny Wu who came up with the idea, and it was also she who got the croton oil. Even if the truth was finally revealed, Qinghua's life would not be in danger.

"You don't admit it, right?" Concubine Liang shouted angrily, "Come here, go to Prince Qi's mansion immediately. I don't believe that we can't find out the truth about such a small matter."

Nanny Wu was born in a humble family and had a natural fear of imperial power. As soon as Concubine Liang opened her mouth, she trembled all over like a sieve.

When Concubine Liang ordered people to punish her again, she couldn't bear it anymore and confessed everything immediately, and put all the blame on Mo Yaohua.

She cried and sobbed, "My Lady Liang Fei, I am just a servant. I dare not disobey the master's order."

Mo Yaohua refused to admit it. "What nonsense are you talking about, you cunning slave? When did I ever ask you to poison me?"

Nanny Wu took the opportunity to take revenge on Qinghua, "Qinghua also knows about this, but she is very tight-lipped. Madam Liang can use severe punishment."

Qinghua quickly confessed, "I did know about this, but it was Madam Wu who came up with the idea and even got the croton seeds."

"What else do you have to say, slave?" Concubine Liang shouted angrily, "Mo Yaohua, the witness is here, how can you deny it?"

Mo Yaohua felt as if the sky had suddenly fallen down and he was no longer able to argue. He simply closed his eyes and pretended to faint, hoping to avoid facing it.

Qinghua shouted anxiously, "Oh no, the concubine has fainted. Since the difficult childbirth, the concubine has been weak and often faints."

Since her life is not in danger, she will definitely follow Mo Yaohua in the future. If she speaks for Mo Yaohua now, she will gain more trust.

Unfortunately, the imperial physician was on the scene. Not to mention that Mo Yaohua was just pretending to faint, even if she was really faint, it might be possible to wake her up.

The imperial physician took out a silver needle from the medicine box. Although Mo Yaohua tried his best to endure it, he was finally forced to "wake up".

She prostrated herself on the ground, begging for mercy in a panic, "I know I am guilty, but I am afraid of the responsibility. I beg Madam Liangfei to forgive me."

"You really bring shame to Prince Qi's Mansion. With Prince Qi here, I can't control you. Let him make the decision himself."

Concubine Liang originally wanted to punish Mo Yaohua, but she knew Chu Xuanhan's thoughts and didn't want to hurt the mother-son relationship.

Besides, it was Mo Yaohua who was disrespectful to her this time. If she didn't punish him, she would seem wronged, and Chu Xuanhan would feel guilty towards her.

In order to show his filial piety in front of others, he also had to punish Mo Yaohua, which was like killing someone with a borrowed knife for her.

Mo Yaohua had no idea what she was thinking and was relieved, thinking that she was so important that even Concubine Liang didn't dare to touch her.

Yuchi Jiuyue felt the same way. Seeing that Concubine Liang refused to punish Mo Yaohua, she was extremely disappointed, but she did not dare to say anything more.

She simply had no mood to accompany Concubine Liang anymore, and soon she stood up to take her leave, leaving with Mo Yaohua and a group of servants.

After leaving Changchun Palace, she taunted unwillingly, "Concubine, you are really capable."

Mo Yaohua was so proud of herself that she dared to fight back, "Princess, I'm grateful for your concession."
