Eat the whole family? I emptied the storehouse of the Marquis' Mansion and married the crippled

"It's hot, would you like a glass of iced sour plum soup, madam?"

Liuli saw that Ye Jintang was feeling sleepy right after dinner and was afraid that she would have indigestion while lying on the couch, so she wanted to let her drink something cold to wake her up.

"That's good. The food I just ate was a bit greasy. It's just right for me to drink a cup of sour plum soup to get rid of the greasiness."

"Slave, go and get it now."

On weekdays, Ye Jintang loved to drink sour plum soup, which was always prepared in the kitchen of the palace.

After a while, Liuli brought the sour plum soup and poured a cup for Ye Jintang.

The people of Tianqin Kingdom have a relatively light taste; even if they cook sour plum soup, it’s not that sweet.

Ye Jintang picked up the tea bowl and took a sip. He couldn't help but raise his brows slightly. Today's sour plum soup was a little sweet.

"Who made the sour plum soup today? They put too much sugar in it."

"Oh, no, it's the sour plum soup that I cooked. I put the same amount of sugar as usual, not too much."

Hearing Liuli say this, Ye Jintang narrowed his eyes slightly, immediately picked up the tea bowl and sniffed it carefully.

Ever since drinking the space spring water, Ye Jintang's five senses have become much stronger than those of ordinary people, and her sense of smell is also sharper than that of ordinary people.

"Liuli, go get our medicine needles. I feel like someone has tampered with the sour plum soup."

After Ye Jintang finished speaking, he immediately took a detoxification pill and then drank a glass of spring water. Only then did he feel more at ease.

Liuli, who was serving on the side, was so frightened that she rushed into the inner room without caring about her image and took out a slightly thick silver needle from the medicine box.

This silver needle is specially soaked with dozens of precious medicinal materials. As long as poisonous substances come into contact with the silver needle, the silver needle will change color according to the severity of the poison.

The silver needle in Liuli's hand was only sticky with a little sour plum juice, and it immediately turned black, with a faint hint of blue light, which showed that its toxicity was very strong.

"My lady, are you feeling unwell?"

Liuli was so scared that she almost went crazy. Ye Jintang had just drunk a mouthful of sour plum soup, and she didn't know if the detoxification pills could detoxify such a strong poison.

"I'm not in serious trouble. Let's first see what's the poison in the sour plum soup."

Ye Jintang quickly went over the poison related to the silver needle with blue light in his mind.

Although some poisons will emit blue light after being contaminated by silver needles, those poisons will have unique smells and will not be colorless and odorless like sour plum soup.

Suddenly a medicine appeared in Ye Jintang's mind.

Among Chinese medicinal herbs, there is a precious herb called Linggucao, which is colorless and tasteless and is generally used to heal wounds and stop bleeding.

But if the Linggu grass is made into Linggu powder, it becomes a very toxic poison.

After taking it, the blood in the body will gradually stop flowing. After 12 hours, all the blood in the body will coagulate, and even a great immortal cannot save the person.

"Madam Zhang, please check who in the kitchen has touched the sour plum soup. Check everyone and find out who poisoned it."

"Yes, old slave, go right away."

When Aunt Zhang knew that Ye Jintang had almost been poisoned, her heart was pounding with fear, and she felt unsteady on her feet as she walked towards the kitchen.

She pinched her arm hard, calmed herself down, and surrounded the kitchen with a few maids.

It took only two cups of tea for her to find six maids and servants who had come into contact with sour plum soup.

The reason why Aunt Zhang was able to react so quickly was due to her extremely strict management of the kitchen, and there were rules for everyone to do everything.

Ye Jintang had a bowl of sour plum soup in his hand. There was a fixed person who did the whole process from cleaning and boiling to finally serving it to Ye Jintang.

Just ask them and you will know what kind of people they met and what they did during the production process.

The back kitchen was always busy, so even if I wanted to lie, it would be almost impossible.

"Your Highness, these six people have all had sour plum soup. The head maid Muxiang and the second-class maid Fengli should not have had sour plum soup. They both went to talk to the second-class maid Hong'er, and only then did they come into contact with sour plum soup. Fengli even drank it."

“The pineapple and sour plum soup was made this morning.

Nanny Zhang told Ye Jintang the whole story. Fengli, who was standing beside him, was so frightened that her legs were shaking and she fell to her knees in front of Ye Jintang.

"Please forgive me, Madam. I will never steal food from the kitchen again. Please forgive me this time."

"You damn girl, it doesn't matter if you steal a few bites of food, but the sour plum soup you ate is poisonous."

Ye Jintang didn't know what to say.

"Liuli, check Fengli to see if she is poisoned."

Liuli responded and went forward to feel Pineapple's pulse. If the sour plum soup she drank in the morning had been poisoned, then feeling Pineapple's pulse now would definitely reveal it.

"My queen, judging from the pulse, the pineapple is not poisonous. Rather, you have been eating too well recently, and your qi and blood are too vigorous."

Pineapple, who was kneeling on the ground, lowered her head in shame after hearing what Liuli said.

"That means the sour plum soup was poisoned closer to noon."

Ye Jintang's gaze fell on Muxiang.

"Muxiang, what do you want to do with Hong'er?"

"Your Highness, Hong'er has been feeling unwell these past two days and has had stomachaches. I was afraid that she might make a mistake, so I went to the kitchen to check on her."

"You sisters have a very good relationship."

"Liuli, please help Hong'er feel her pulse and see what's causing her stomachache."

"Yes."

Hong'er's cheeks flushed slightly as her pulse was being checked. She was young and shy about some things.

"My lady, I am not sick, but I have had my periods twice this month for some reason."

"It's not uncommon for a young girl to have irregular periods. Next time you run into this kind of thing, remember to ask for leave from the housekeeper. Don't force yourself to do it."

"Yes."

While talking, Liuli had already checked Hong'er's pulse.

She said with a bad look on her face, "Madam Hong'er's pulse is unstable and she is very weak. Her menstrual period must have been induced by the medicine, not a normal one."

"Ah, how is this possible? I haven't taken any medicine recently."

Ye Jintang's sharp eyes swept over Muxiang.

"Madam Zhang, go search Muxiang's room to see if there are any unusual objects. Take Xuetuan with you."

The reason why Ye Jintang asked Xuetuan to come along was because the greedy cat Xuetuan had a more sensitive nose and could easily find some hidden things.

Mu Xiang, who had been calm just now, turned pale with fear. She knelt on the ground and cried softly, "My queen, I am innocent. I have been with the prince for seven or eight years and will never do anything to harm the prince and the princess."

"Really? You know you've been with the prince for so many years, and you thought that even if they investigated, no one would suspect you."

Ye Jintang sneered, "Madam Zhang, go check it out quickly."

"Yes."

"My Lady Princess, I have been with the Prince for so many years. Even if I have no merits, I have worked hard. Today, Your Majesty searched my room. If you find something, it's easy to deal with it. Just punish me directly."

"But if nothing is found, how will Your Majesty let me act in the palace in the future?"

Muxiang spoke very convincingly, but Ye Jintang didn't even want to look at her.

To put it bluntly, Muxiang felt that she was the head maid in the palace, and she had always been serving Xiao Mo, so naturally she had more face than other maids.

Perhaps in the eyes of other maids, Xiao Mo has already married a princess and can always have a few concubines around him, and Mu Xiang has the best chance.

The status and position of the prince's favorite concubine is naturally different, at least she is half the master.
