King Pingnan gave an order, as cold as ice, and a guard immediately stepped forward to lift Princess Pingting up. The expressions of the mother and daughter suddenly changed.
"What are you doing, Your Highness? Do you think that for the sake of a mere Xia Yunxian, you have to mobilize an army to punish your own flesh and blood?"
Princess Pingnan was so panicked that she spoke erratically, obviously not expecting that she was in danger.
"I don't have such a daughter that I don't recognize even my relatives!" Seeing a tied-up man being brought out, King Pingnan looked at her face that was gradually losing color. In addition to anger, there was endless disappointment in his eyes.
"It seems that this is not just Pingting's idea, you know that too, right?"
The news that King Pingnan had ordered Princess Pingting to be imprisoned quickly spread throughout the Hou Mansion.
In the front hall, Mrs. Liu sat stiffly in the corner. She felt as if she had experienced a storm that she had never experienced in her life. Her heart was ups and downs, and she could not calm down for a long time.
At this time, Princess Pingnan, who had always been graceful and elegant, was kneeling in the center. King Pingnan, who was always gentle and elegant, had a gloomy expression and did not even look at her.
The old princess frowned and looked at Xia Yunxian after a long time.
"So, my eyes and ears are often dizzy these days, is it all because of this cook from the south of the Yangtze River?"
Princess Pingnan's heart skipped a beat. Did this girl find out?
How can it be!
Even though she had just had dinner, she still looked as normal. If she really noticed something fishy, then she was too calm, right?
I saw Xia Yunxian bowing to Prince Pingnan and the old princess, "Yunxian originally thought that the old princess was just tired recently, so she showed various symptoms of weakness and aging, until the bowl of sweet soup sent by Princess Pingting It inspired Unzen.”
She immediately looked at Mrs. Liu, "I wonder if mother-in-law still remembers the last time Wen Xin had abdominal pain?"
"Of course I remember! That child is not allowed to eat crabs. If he eats too much, his life may be in danger!"
At this point, Liu Chengyu already understood. Could it be that the old princess had dietary taboos like them?
Xia Yunxian nodded, his face becoming more serious, "Does the old princess always feel heartburn after eating, so she always eats a bowl of sweet soup to soothe her throat after a meal?"
"Everything in this world is interdependent, and food is the same. Just like if the honey in the sweet soup is eaten with tofu and onions, it will hurt the eyes and ears. If things go on like this..."
If things go on like this, they will become deaf and blind without anyone noticing!
Tofu and onions?
Those are all commonly used ingredients in Jiangnan cuisine!
"Why do my niece-in-law want to scaremonger her here? We all ate the food cooked by this Jiangnan chef. How come it's okay?"
Princess Pingnan tried to calm herself down, and then Xia Yunxian laughed and said, "If Yunxian remembers correctly, the princess has been vegetarian recently?"
As soon as she said this, King Pingnan immediately noticed that she was biting her lower lip unconsciously.
After being married for many years, how could he not know that this was Princess Pingnan's habitual action when she was nervous? It was hard to imagine that if her mother had not been sent to the Marquis Mansion this time, would there have been irreparable consequences over time?
"Chili ginger lamb chops and watermelon and lotus seed soup in a soup will harm your vitality. Crispy brain slices and peanut black chicken stew in ginseng soup will harm your kidneys."
"The steamed crab and tomato, taro and beef soup will hurt your organs if eaten together, and the fried catfish with black bean and spinach and pork liver soup will burn your heart if eaten together."
Every word Xia Yunxian said hit Princess Pingnan hard in her heart, and everyone in the room looked at her with more complicated and fearful eyes.
The old princess likes this one, so she tastes these dishes back and forth, but Princess Pingnan only eats the vegetarian dishes. Is this the same?
Just hearing a crash, King Pingnan suddenly threw the tea cup in his hand to her feet. The explosion sound shocked the woman on the ground to tremble!
"You really went to great lengths to hurt my mother!"
Who would have thought that the test dish is not poisonous, but it can really kill people!
Mrs. Liu on the side could not help but cover her chest in fear, but when she looked at Princess Pingnan on the ground, a flash of schadenfreude flashed across her eyes.
Normally she always looks up to the sky with a defiant attitude, so it is not surprising at all that she would do something like this.
What kind of person is the old princess? How can she be so easy to succeed? I am afraid that Princess Pingnan has been thinking a lot in the past ten years since she married into the palace before she came up with such a perfect idea.
"It's really terrible. Fortunately, we met Yunxian!" Mrs. Liu said adding insult to injury, and was immediately glared at by Princess Pingnan.
"What? I dare not let anyone tell me if I dare to do it. I must have followed the old princess to the Hou Mansion because I was afraid that if she didn't eat this Jiangnan food for several days, all her previous efforts would be wasted, right? Could it be that the princess framed Cheng Yu and Yunxian because she was afraid that she would be ruined? What's your good deed?"
Mrs. Liu took advantage of King Pingnan's presence and said everything at once.
Sure enough, the aura on that noble man became colder and colder.
When he was at the door just now, he heard that Princess Pingnan was not asking for help. It seemed that a lot of big things happened in the Hou Mansion today!
"Your Highness, would you rather trust outsiders than your own wife and daughter?" Princess Pingnan raised her head with red eyes and looked at the husband she had served with all her heart for many years.
King Pingnan slowly closed his eyes. In the past, he was focused on court affairs. There were so many trivial matters and favors in the palace. She did take care of them in an orderly manner. Apart from being a little jealous, she didn't make any big mistakes, so for He always turned a blind eye to what happened in the house.
Unexpectedly, she would dare to attack her mother now!
"Mrs. Hou is right, don't take it seriously. Where is your past arrogance?" King Pingnan spoke calmly.
The Jiangnan cook has already been recruited, saying that Princess Pingting found him, gave him a large sum of money, and specifically asked him to cook those dishes every day.
He didn't notice it at first, but over time he realized that he had been involved in a huge conspiracy.
This kind of royal aristocrat has so many dirty tricks. Once he has been involved, he can no longer escape. He can only bite the bullet and obey the orders, hoping to hide it from the truth.
After all, ordinary people don't know about the conflict between ingredients. Otherwise, the old princess wouldn't have been able to eat the dishes he cooked for so long.
It's a pity that the incident came to light!
Princess Pingnan felt like she had something stuck in her throat. She immediately remembered that the prince once said that what he admired most was her sassiness and arrogance. Even though she had dealt with a few bitches in the past, she had always been outspoken in front of him.
At this moment, Princess Pingnan suddenly understood the deeper meaning. She was angry because she was obviously dissatisfied with her mother-in-law, but she never dared to say it in front of him. She hid all her resentment in her heart and refused to give it to him. An opportunity to mediate from it.
"That's it." King Pingnan looked at the old princess guiltily, as if he was letting her decide, "Please punish me, mother!"
The woman on the ground's eyes flashed, and her face became increasingly gray.
Her mother-in-law has never liked her, how can she be lenient this time...
