God is kind, if the late morning sickness hadn't prevented Lu Qing from eating the bowl of porridge, not only Yu Qianqian and the child in her belly would have suffered.
"Your Highness, are you talking about this bowl of porridge..." Lu Qing fearfully hid in Yan Fuguang's arms.
"Don't be afraid, it's probably not poison." Yan Fuguang patted her back, looking down at her belly with his dark eyes, "The child is well-behaved and sensible, and knows how to protect his mother."
Lu Qing looked pale and felt soft in her heart: "Our children are all good children."
Yan Fuguang kissed her cheek again and said softly: "Well, don't be afraid, I've sent someone to investigate."
Ji Qin took down the bowl of porridge and had it checked by the imperial doctor. It was true that there was no poison in it, but it happened to contain green yam, which Qing could not eat. She was horrified and immediately came to Yan Fuguang to report it.
Yan Fuguang winked, wanting to send Qin down to tell him, but Lu Qing said, "What did you find out?"
Ji Qin knew that Lu Qing was not too weak to survive, so she replied: "It's yam. The imperial doctor said there was yam in it. That girl Yu was in trouble because she couldn't eat yam."
Two bowls of porridge, both with yam added.
But Lu Qing was the one who was clearly going to come to the Prince's Mansion to attend Yan Zheng'er's birthday banquet, while Yu Qianqian was just the one who showed up suddenly in the middle.
Yan Fuguang would never think that this was a coincidence. He asked, "Who ordered the porridge to be delivered?"
"Back to Your Highness, the prince's concubine ordered someone to bring it. He said it was for the concubine to take the medicine."
Ji Qin rubbed his fingers back and forth and looked at Lu Qing frequently. The princess and their concubines have always been on good terms. Was this incident framed or was it intentional?
Lu Qing did not hesitate, she said: "It can't be Sister Jiang. She specifically asked me about my dietary taboos before. There is no yam in every dish on the menu. How could she so blatantly put yam in my and Yu's porridge?" "
Wouldn’t it be too conspicuous and something wrong?
After hearing that there was something wrong with the meals delivered by the dining room, Jiang Mihe immediately went to check.
She came back in a hurry, and when she saw Lu Qing, she looked panicked: "Are you feeling uncomfortable? I never asked anyone to bring you porridge!"
After checking the inside and outside of the dining room, the two bowls of porridge seemed to appear out of thin air, and it was impossible to trace who made them.
Lu Qing sat up straight and said, "I feel like vomiting from everything I smell right now. I just haven't eaten yet. Don't worry."
Jiang Mihe breathed a big sigh of relief, clasped his hands together and chanted: "Bodhisattva bless, Bodhisattva bless..."
If something happened to Lu Qing, she really didn't know how to explain herself to the vicious Crown Prince.
Lu Qing kindly reminded: "I'm fine here, but I heard that the Yu family's side is not fine. You should think about how to deal with the queen first."
It is well known how much Empress Xu values the child in Qian Qian's belly. Coupled with Yan Xianzhi, if the two of them attack Jiang Mihe, how should she respond?
Jiang Mihe's face sank, and there was a big lump of anger in his heart: "Someone must have framed me for what happened today!"
Zhu Qingjia and Zhong Yan ran in worriedly. They also heard about Yu Qianqian's abdominal pain and were worried that something was wrong with Lu Qing.
After hearing Jiang Mihe's words, several people speculated with a frown on who was behind the scenes.
Yan Fuguang rolled up the quilt and pillows around Lu Qing so that she could lean on her more comfortably. He stood up and said, "The dining room is the key, and there are also the maids who deliver the porridge. We must keep an eye on them at all times to prevent anyone from taking advantage of the loopholes." ." After mentioning Jiang Mihe, he politely said to Zhu Qingjia and Zhong Yan, "Can you please help me accompany her, my brothers and sisters, I'll go over there."
Zhu Qingjia nodded: "You go ahead, we will never leave each other here."
Lu Qing watched him leave and sighed quietly: "Why is it so unfair today..."
Zhu Qingjia sat on the edge of the bed and held her hand: "You are lucky. This is enough. Don't think about anything else. There are always others to worry about."
Lu Qing took a few deep breaths and let out a lot of the turbid air in her heart.
At this time, the imperial doctor here at Yu Qianqian was so busy that he was sweating.
Yan Fuguang sat next to Emperor Xihe, and the father and son looked calm and composed.
"Is everything okay over there, Wei?"
"The Wei family is lucky to have no use for that bowl of porridge."
"Okay, okay! As long as it's useless, I don't know who is so evil-hearted!"
Queen Xu on the side was extremely anxious. Yan Xianzhi was beaten so hard that she couldn't stand up, but she still lay on the ground and wailed: "Father, please make the decision! Someone wants to plot against your grandson, please, father, must catch the murderer and cut him into pieces!" "
Yan Fuguang has something to say about this.
"Father, the imperial doctor said that Yu's abdominal pain was caused by the yam in the porridge. My son, Wei, cannot eat yam."
Emperor Xihe's eyes widened: "Is that person going for the Wei family?!"
He suddenly became nervous, looked around, and urged Yan Fuguang: "Why did you come here? Has anyone sent you back? It's not safe here!"
Yan Xianzhi quit and howled loudly: "It's actually the third brother's people who have implicated my child! Father, you have to make the decision for your son!"
Emperor Xihe scolded him: "You brainless fool, shut up! You and Mrs. Yu just came today. Mrs. Wei had already made an itinerary earlier. Someone must have arranged it in advance, just waiting to harm Mrs. Wei!"
Yan Xianzhi felt aggrieved: "So, Yu is the one who was implicated!"
Emperor Xihe said even louder than him: "So! If you two stay in peace and don't come to disgust others, nothing will happen!"
While they were making noise, Empress Xu came out wiping away tears: "What a danger, the child is finally saved! Your Majesty, you must investigate clearly!"
Emperor Xihe frowned and called the people in the dining room to ask questions.
"Who made that bowl of porridge with yam?"
The maid and the cook in charge knelt on the floor. Jiang Mihe was about to say that she had asked several times but no one acknowledged it, when a fat cook knelt down tremblingly.
He banged his head, and a dull sound surrounded the room.
"Slave, I just followed the instructions and made some food for the two nobles to fill their stomachs. No, I didn't expect that neither of them could eat yams... It's my fault! But I didn't mean it. I beg the emperor to spare my life. !”
Jiang Mihe yelled: "You're talking nonsense! I just asked you so many times, why didn't you say it was you who did it? You said you acted on orders, but whose orders were you followed?"
The cook hung his head and trembled. After asking again and again, he tremblingly pointed at the nanny beside Queen Xu.
"Yes, it was this grandma who gave the order..."
Everyone looked at Queen Xu together.
Emperor Xihe said in a deep voice: "Queen."
"It turned out to be you!" Empress Xu ignored the pleading eyes of the old slave who had served her for many years and made a decisive decision: "It turned out to be something wrong with the people around me! Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will definitely give you an explanation! This palace only Let her prepare the medicine, she made a big mistake on her own initiative! Someone, drag this troublesome grandma down and beat her!"
Mammy cried out: "I didn't mean it. I just wanted to give this order for the sake of my masters. I didn't do it on purpose! I beg the Emperor and the Queen to spare my life!"
"It wasn't intentional, but it hurt the emperor's heir. Hit me! Hit me hard!"
Empress Xu's performance was so realistic that Emperor Xihe's frown disappeared and he waved his hand to the guards to take the cook down with them: "Kill this one too."
He breathed a sigh of relief and had the nerve to say to Yan Fuguang: "This servant made many mistakes, but fortunately it was not a conspiracy. Don't worry, Fuguang."
