Pu Taichu almost entered the house together with Palace Maid who came back from searching Yue Tao's house.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw Palace Maid lying on the ground in despair, the queen with a frozen face, and several Imperial Prince with serious faces.
Pu Taichu had been in the palace for many years, and he knew that the situation in front of him did not allow him to look or ask more questions. He just lowered his head and followed Palace Maid who led the way to Empress.
Before I could salute, I heard a milky sound in my ears.
[Yeah! It's the grandpa who helped Chengcheng apply the medicine!]
Pu Taichu suddenly raised his head and saw Eleventh Princess sticking his head out from behind Empress, and--
Empress and several little Imperial Prince looked at each other with indescribable expressions.
This look was so incomprehensible that Pu Taichu only thought about it for a moment before making a bold guess.
They... can also hear the voice of Little Princess.
Pu Taichu saluted politely, and then stood cautiously, waiting for someone to explain the situation to him.
Jiang Yingcheng didn't keep him waiting too long.
[These two people are so bad, Grandpa Imperial Physician must find out the poison they put in the balls!]
[Although that Snow-Soul Powder is extremely difficult to check, I believe Grandpa can do it!]
Pu Taichu smiled calmly.
Snow-Soul Powder is colorless and odorless. It is usually mixed slowly in small batches by poisoners. If the dose in the meal is too small, it will be extremely difficult to detect it.
However, Pu Taichu boldly looked at Empress.
In the tacit understanding between the two of them, the process was accelerated by a tacit understanding.
"Returning to Empress," Pu Taichu leaned forward and saluted, "This meal has indeed been added with colorless and tasteless Snow-Soul Powder."
Yue Tao, who had long recognized the reality, had no reaction, but Yao Qi, who still had illusions about it, burst into tears.
"You, you bitch, why did you harm me!" He jumped up from the ground without warning, ran straight to Yue Tao, raised his foot and kicked him hard several times.
Yue Tao also stared back with hatred in his eyes.
She planned very carefully, adding only a small amount of the dose each time and dividing it evenly into each pill. There wouldn't be much toxin at all. If it wasn't for this idiot who didn't even dare to eat that pill, how could their plan be exposed?!
He accepted so much Silver Note from her, but when the matter was revealed, he wanted to put all the blame on her?!
Simply ridiculous!!
Yue Tao laughed heartily and sinisterly.
You deserve it!! You deserve it!!!
Hot tears slid down the cheeks and into the corners of the mouth, salty and bitter.
She finally couldn't bear it anymore and broke down crying.
Kan Nianzhen was not in the mood to watch them acting. She raised her hand impatiently, and soon a guard rushed forward to separate the two.
"I only give you one chance," Kan Nianzhen finally agreed to look directly at them, "The one who answers truthfully first, I can guarantee that this matter will never be mentioned again in the future."
As for what will happen to the other one, everyone present has their own bloody little theater in their minds.
Yao Qi and Yue Tao paused for a moment, and hope suddenly burst into their eyes.
"Who is the mastermind behind this?" Kan Nianzhen asked quietly.
Both of them's breathing was stagnant.
The man behind the scenes has never appeared in person in front of the two of them. Even the men responsible for delivering the message are extremely cautious. Every time he appears, he wears a mask on his face and his body is covered tightly...
They had no idea who that person was.
But--
"Consort Xuan!"
"Consort Hui!"
The two spoke almost at the same time.
The two people who wanted to get by casually fell into new despair as soon as they spoke.
[Huh? You can't even tell that it's Noble Consort Rou?!]
Jiang Yingcheng only struggled for a moment, and then got excited again.
[Don't be afraid! Chengcheng Write a report letter when you get back!]
Kan Nianzhen burst out laughing, not knowing who he was laughing at.
She waved her hand. "Go down."
Her voice was soft and there was a smile on her face, which was a move that could easily make people relax their vigilance, but neither of them had any luck.
Sure enough, the next moment, guards rushed in from outside the door, took the two people who had become a puddle of mud, and walked out in an unknown direction.
There was a thick stack of Silver Note found in Yue Tao's house. Jiang Yingcheng just accidentally glanced a few more times, and Kan Nianzhen directly ordered Palace Maid to give her the stack of Silver Note.
Now a group of people are standing at the fork where they go back, forming a circle and holding a mysterious and solemn ceremony for dividing the spoils.
"Eighth Prince, one for me, Seventh Prince, one for me, one for my brother, one for me..."
"I have a question," Jiang Qiuyu raised his hand and asked, "Why is your stack so much thicker than ours?"
Jiang Yingcheng looked shocked. "How can you argue with your lovely and kind sister??"
Jiang Qiuyu is defeated.
Lin Jinshu said with a cold face, "I don't want it."
Jiang Yingcheng patted him on the shoulder sincerely, like a little adult whose soul had been penetrated. "You are still young and don't understand the importance of money. Listen to my sister and put it away quickly!"
Lin Jinshu stopped talking.
Jiang Yingcheng silently turned to stare at Jiang Xingran.
Jiang Xingran only resisted for a moment, then silently took his share into his arms.
Jiang Yingcheng looked at such a harmonious scene with satisfaction and felt happy.
[This family can't survive without me!!]
"Ahem."
The voice coming from behind made Jiang Yingcheng freeze.
Jiang Tinghuai said with a smile, "Isn't it my fault?"
[Who? Who is talking?!]
Jiang Yingcheng silently put away his Silver Note, grabbed Lin Jinshu's hand and ran away!
Anyway, things won't go smoothly next, so let's run for our lives!
The two little guys had short legs. Even if they ran away happily, the few accompanying guards followed them steadily, without even losing their breath.
However, fortunately, I got rid of brother Crown Prince.
Jiang Yingcheng looked back several times like a thief, until he was sure that brother Crown Prince would not catch up again, then he slowly slowed down his pace.
"Huh..."
[We also successfully protected our small money today!]
Lin Jinshu struggled to calm down his breathing.
He understands everything, but--
"Why should I follow you?"
Crown Prince looked like he was clearly teasing his younger brothers and sisters. He was an "outsider" getting involved. It was very embarrassing just thinking about it.
Maybe, people never paid attention to themselves at all.
The darkness in his heart grew crazily and was about to swallow him whole.
Jiang Yingcheng looked confused. "You are my brother, of course you want to be with me~"
The words that came out of his mouth were full of matter-of-factness and unreasonable, which dispelled all the gloom that was still in his crazy eyes just now.
Lin Jinshu paused slightly, and his cheeks quickly turned crimson.
Ever since Maternal Aunt clearly informed him of his identity, everyone in the house treated him as an outsider. Although they were polite and considerate, they rarely made him feel the warmth of home.
Unexpectedly, the vacancy he had longed for for a long time was filled by Jiang Yingcheng's words.
He walked to Jiang Yingcheng in a few steps, not wanting her to see the embarrassment on his face.
[Oh, it would be great if Imperial Consort could take his younger brother to live in the palace, so that mother and son could be reunited.]
Lin Jinshu's footsteps suddenly froze in place, with steaming anger brewing in his eyes.
She knows?!
