If An Lingrong was reborn before the draft

Chapter 180 The Emperor took Wen Yi away

Zhen Huan's words did not move the emperor at all. He waved his hand and asked the imperial physician to go to the inner room to treat Princess Wen Yi. After Wen Yi repeated the request twice, he knew that someone must be planning something.

The Queen, who was watching the show nearby, instead looked at Zhen Huan deeply and said, "This Concubine Wan is very interesting!"

After the imperial physician went to the inner room for a diagnosis, he came out again and said to the emperor, "I have thought about it again and again. The princess has a bad stomach. I think she has taken something that hurts her stomach. I want to check what the princess has eaten recently."

Although the emperor did not say anything, his attitude showed that he agreed with the imperial physician's words. Someone immediately brought a small portion of the meals that Princess Wen Yi had eaten in the past few days, and the imperial physician examined them one by one.

The emperor waited anxiously for the doctor's results, but he didn't dare to ask for fear of affecting the doctor's judgment. When the doctor knelt in front of him and reported to him, the emperor couldn't help but hold his breath nervously.

"Your Majesty, I think there is something wrong with this water chestnut soup. To be cautious, please ask Your Majesty to send the eunuch who tastes the food to come and identify it together." Although the imperial physician could taste that the water chestnut soup was a little different from what he usually had, he was not good at it and he could not taste what was in the water chestnut soup.

The emperor hesitated for a moment and called Xiao Xiazi to taste the food. He didn't trust the people in the Qingliang Palace after all. Xiao Xiazi was the emperor's personal eunuch who tasted the food, and what he said could convince everyone.

After receiving the order, Xiao Xiazi went to the table and rinsed his mouth carefully. He took the prepared silver needle and inserted it into the water chestnut soup in the bowl. The silver needle did not change color after being taken out, so he ate a spoonful with a spoon. He sipped his tongue gently for a moment and took another sip before he went to the emperor and replied, "Your Majesty, this water chestnut soup is not poisonous. It's just mixed with some cassava flour."

"Tapioca flour? What is this?" the emperor asked in confusion. He may eat it often, but he doesn't know what cassava flour is used for.

"Cassava is a specialty tribute from Southeast Asia, and it can be ground into flour to make snacks. But the roots and leaves are poisonous, so they must be handled with care." Although the imperial physician could not taste the cassava flour, he had treated palace maids who were poisoned by cassava.

"Do you mean someone poisoned us?" The queen asked the question that many people were wondering at the same time.

Zhen Huan's expression changed several times. She was proud at first, but her expression turned cold after a while. Not long ago, she had eaten tapioca flour balls in Bitong Academy. I guess her Bitong Academy must have tapioca flour now. It turned out that Concubine Hua came for her.

"Cassava flour is non-toxic, but babies have delicate stomachs. Eating cassava flour will irritate the stomach and intestines and cause vomiting. Over time, they will become weak and die. Moreover, cassava flour and water chestnut flour are similar in color and shape, so it is not easy to detect them when mixed together." The imperial physician explained the difference between the two very promptly, and of course it was also for the sake of his own reputation. This was not a problem with his medical skills, but a problem with the food.

"Your Majesty, the princess has been eating water chestnut soup recently. I think the problem lies here." Concubine Hua said cautiously. After all, she was still afraid that the emperor would hold her accountable for not taking good care of her.

"How could the imperial kitchen make such a mistake?" The emperor was very annoyed now. He didn't want to dwell on why. He just wanted to solve the problem quickly so that Wen Yi could recuperate and he could have some rest.

"The imperial kitchen is an expert at this and would not have made a mistake. Someone must have done it on purpose." Things were going as Concubine Hua had expected. She now had sufficient reason to characterize the incident as someone trying to harm the princess.

Everyone in the palace looked at Concubine Hua. The emperor looked at Concubine Hua with an even more silent expression. He was still wondering who was using Wen Yi as a pretext, but now he knew. "What a sinister trick. Are you trying to kill my daughter?"

"Your Majesty, I pray that God will have mercy on Wen Yi. As his mother, I am willing to accept any punishment." Concubine Cao knelt down beside the emperor and cried. She thought that this drama was finally over.

"As his mother, you will be punished for not paying enough attention to Wen Yi's diet. Su Peisheng, take him to the side hall of the Qinzheng Palace and take care of him first." The emperor stood up and walked out. He didn't want to continue playing this scene. He was already very annoyed.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..." Concubine Cao knelt down countless times. She didn't expect things to turn out like this. Wasn't everything fine before?

"Alas, Your Majesty, it is not convenient to look after Wen Yi in the Qinzheng Palace. I am afraid that Wen Yi will disturb your rest..." Concubine Hua quickly caught up with the emperor. She didn't know why this happened, but she knew that she couldn't let the emperor take Wen Yi away.

Zhen Huan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that everything was fine.
