"Is there something wrong with this slave, Your Highness?"

Before Yunzhi could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the fourth prince.

"You served me well, so I want to know your name and ask the kitchen to treat you well."

When he said this, the fourth prince seemed carefree, but his eyes were fixed on Yunzhi, with a sense of scrutiny.

Yunzhi's heart tightened for no reason, but when he thought that the other person was just a child, he felt that he was overly worried, and immediately bowed.

"Thank you, Your Highness. My name is Ningxiang. She is from the Dining Room and Dessert Department."

"Ningxiang, how long have you been in the snack department? Do you still make other snacks? My mother-in-law is pregnant now and has a bad appetite. If you can make some fresh snacks, I can coax my mother-in-law to eat a few more bites. , I also have a heavy reward.”

The fourth prince continued.

Yunzhi's eyes flashed, "I disappoint Your Highness. I have been working in the Dim Sum Department for more than three years, but my hands are clumsy and my master refuses to teach me, so I still don't know how to make dim sum. I usually just do odd jobs and run errands."

"In that case," the fourth prince narrowed his eyes slightly, paused in his voice, as if he was thinking, and then suddenly said loudly, "There is something wrong with this person, let me take her down!"

"Fourth brother, don't be ridiculous, this is someone sent by my mother and concubine!"

The eldest prince was startled when he heard this, and hurriedly stood up to stop him, but the people around the fourth prince were very capable at the moment, and immediately stepped forward and restrained him.

No matter how Yunzhi was struggling at the moment, the fourth prince looked at the eldest prince with a serious look on his face.

"Brother, look at her face and hands. She doesn't look like she has worked in the pastry department for more than three years. She looks like she doesn't do menial work and waits on people."

When he said this, the eldest prince frowned slightly and quickly observed.

The second princess stood up and quietly protected the fourth prince behind her. At the same time, she also observed Yunzhi's hands and face.

Indeed, those who do rough work in the dining room have to cook and wash every day. How can a maid who has worked as a rough servant for three years still have such tender skin and tender flesh?

"Hurry back to Changqing Palace and ask if your mother and concubine has sent someone to deliver snacks." The eldest prince also ordered in a deep voice at this time.

His accompanying little eunuch ran away in a flash.

The second princess glanced at the rose rolls that had just been served on the table, and immediately said, "You are not allowed to touch these things, and you are not allowed to change their positions. Just leave them like this. Let the imperial doctor come and take a look."

The fifth prince was young and was at a loss at this moment, but the third prince was worried.

"What if we make a mistake."

"It doesn't matter if you make a mistake. I will bear the responsibility alone. Third brother, don't worry." The fourth prince comforted him.

The third prince immediately explained, "Fourth brother, you have misunderstood. I am not afraid of taking responsibility. I am your brother. Naturally, if you want to punish me, you should punish me first. I am just worried that I will make a mistake and make Concubine Jin displeased."

His childhood experiences made the third prince very afraid of making others unhappy.

At this time, the eldest prince said, "Don't worry, if there is any misunderstanding, I will explain the reason to my mother and concubine. It is not peaceful in the palace now, so everyone should be careful."

The eldest prince is the oldest, and since Concubine Jin is always talkative and nagging, he still knows a lot of recent news in the harem.

Not long after, the little eunuch next to the eldest prince rushed back. He was panting from running, and big beads of sweat kept dripping down. His whole body was soaked with sweat. When he arrived, he didn't have time to take a breath, so he pointed at Yunzhi and said .

"She lied, Madam, Madam, she didn't let anyone give her snacks!"

At this moment, Yunzhi was pressed tightly by the people around the fourth prince, and her mouth was stuffed with cloth. She could only make a whining sound, but looking at her eyes, it was clear that she was begging for mercy.

But no one paid attention to her, and the children were a little scared.

The imperial doctor was about to arrive, and when he examined the plates of snacks, his expression changed drastically. "Poisonous, the snacks of His Highness Five are extremely poisonous!"

As soon as these words came out, the people around the fifth prince wanted to drag him eight hundred miles away from the snack.

At this moment, Qingrong also arrived.

Because the people who went to the Taiyuan Hospital to ask for the imperial doctor were people close to the second princess. The Taiyuan Hospital was sensible and sent people to inform the Yuzhang Palace at the same time.

Fang Yun heard that the second princess was unwell and invited the imperial doctor to the school during the lunch break, and immediately asked Qingrong to come over.

I didn't expect that when I arrived, I encountered such a situation.

After the fourth prince and Qingrong explained the situation at the scene, Qingrong noticed the person being pressed in the corner.

Others may not know her, but Qingrong has followed Fang Yun for so long and has been staring at Yichun Palace before. The people around Concubine Wan are still familiar with her, so she recognized Yunzhi's identity at a glance and immediately asked people to pass on the information. Empress Gong, and Pei Yao.

Not long after, everyone from the queen to the concubines of Song Dynasty arrived, even though Fang Yun was pregnant.

A major event like poisoning still happened in a school, so naturally no mother would dare to take it lightly.

Fortunately, after some inspection, we found that none of the children had touched the poison.

Especially the queen, her heart almost fell out of her chest.

She didn't dare to think about the consequences of this matter. If the fifth prince ate that plate of snacks, according to the imperial doctor, he would probably die immediately after one or two bites.

This incident was such a shock that the queen hugged the fifth prince and was so nervous that she could not speak for a long time.

It was Pei Yao who spoke, and he was immediately pulled down for interrogation.

Yunzhi's mouth was easy to pry open. Once the torture device was used, he confessed everything in less than half an hour.

It turned out that she was in love with a young guard in the palace and had a physical relationship. Concubine Wan threatened her with this matter and asked her to sneak out of Yichun Palace and poison the fifth prince directly. Otherwise, Concubine Wan would kill her immediately. She had made a fuss about her affair with the guard. Given the current situation in Yichun Palace, the queen would definitely have them both killed without finding out the truth.

Concubine Wan said that she was bound to die anyway, so it would be more lively on the road to Huangquan if she had one more person to support her.

Yunzhi was unwilling to let his sweetheart lose his life together with him, so he had no choice but to agree.

And how to escape is quite simple.

In the Yichun Palace, the courtyard where Lan Liangyuan once lived was turned into a yard of debris because Concubine Wan didn't like Lan Liangyuan. After Lan Liangyuan was relegated to the cold palace, it was not repaired. This year she entered the Xialian Palace. After several heavy rains, the wall tiles in the courtyard where the servants lived were loose. Yunzhi took advantage of the darkness to pry open a few bricks there and climbed out with his thin body.

As for the snack, she bought it from the kitchen with the money given by Concubine Wan. At that time, she lied that she was someone close to Yun Baolin.

The person in the snack department didn't know her either, but he knew that there was Yun Baolin in the palace who had been out of favor for many years. Since he gave her money anyway, he gave her the snacks.

As for the name Ningxiang, it was her previous name. After joining Concubine Wan, Concubine Wan thought the name was charming, so she changed it to Yunzhi.

With this, there is no need to keep an eye on Yuetao's interrogation. Yunzhi has also been serving Concubine Wan since she entered the palace. As a palace maid, she knows a lot of things.

She had helped with the matter of poisoning the fifth prince, but she didn't know exactly what she was doing. But with the details she revealed, the investigation would be much faster.

Later that afternoon, Yuetao woke up from her coma and was interrogated again.

The evidence is complete.

It was also at this moment when the truth was revealed that everyone knew what happened to the fifth prince, and they were all shocked for a moment.
