"What do you think, noble lady Qi?"

The emperor looked at Concubine Qi and asked.

"I think this matter must be investigated strictly. The princess's diet is handled by a special person, so it must be checked. Otherwise, the princess is still young. What should we do if we encounter this situation again next time?"

After listening to Concubine Qi's words, the emperor adjusted his sitting posture and said:

"check!"

Soon, Su Peisheng brought the results:

"Your Majesty, the people in the imperial kitchen said that Princess Longyue's food was prepared in the small kitchen of Suiyuxuan today, because the palace servants of Suiyuxuan said that Concubine Wan was the princess's biological mother, and she wanted to fulfill her responsibilities as a mother after finally meeting her. However, the food sent from the small kitchen was not handled by anyone else on the way, and was all delivered by Miss Huanbi!"

"Call Huanbi here!"

Huanbi was kneeling in front of the emperor with a look of horror on her face, looking at Zhen Huan from time to time. Zhen Huan was also very surprised, but she still believed in Huanbi at this time!

Huanbi kowtowed to the emperor and said:

"Your Majesty, I never poisoned the little princess!"

"Then why are there inedible wolfberries in the little princess's bowl?"

"I don't know!"

At this time, Lady Qi spoke:

"Your Majesty, I have heard that some concubines used to make their children sick in order to win your favor. I am afraid that Concubine Wan may have made a wrong decision and resorted to such a bad idea!"

After hearing this, Zhen Huan immediately knelt down and said to the emperor:

"Your Majesty, I didn't. Longyue was never kept in my palace. It's already very rare for me to have time to visit her. How could I treat the princess like this! She is my own flesh and blood!"

At this time, Lady Qi said leisurely:

"Yes, she was originally raised in Concubine Jing's palace. It was not easy for her to come here. Naturally, she wanted to remind the emperor that Princess Longyue was your daughter! Isn't it for the sake of taking the princess back? This way, it will be easier for you to be favored in the future!"

Concubine Qi’s words immediately ignited the emperor’s suspicion!

Then he said:

"Tell me, why is there wolfberry in the princess's diet?"

"I didn't know. Today, I used the newly brought rice flour to make rice paste for the princess as usual. I didn't know why there were wolfberries. Your Majesty, I am innocent!"

When she heard about the new rice noodles, Concubine Qi was obviously a little panicked, and then she immediately said:

"Your Majesty, this Huanbi is just stalling for time. I think we should send her to the Ministry of Punishment and torture her severely to get the answer! Otherwise, she will definitely insist that she didn't commit the crime!"

At this time, Zhen Huan had already grasped Huanbi's point and immediately asked:

"Huanbi said that she used new rice flour. I'm afraid there is something wrong with this new rice flour. I hope the emperor can investigate it!"

After saying that, Su Peisheng went to bring people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs. These people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs were very honest and immediately told people who would deliver the new rice noodles.

The servant girl who delivered the rice noodles started to tremble after coming to the Emperor. She would look at Concubine Qi from time to time. Concubine Qi looked at her with disgust and kept avoiding her sight!

The emperor saw all of this!

The emperor had naturally made up his mind, so he decided to close the case and not pursue it further!

"You little slave, did you add wolfberries to the new rice noodles? You're not doing your job well, get out of here and get rid of you!"
