Ye Jintang sat on the chair and looked coldly at Mu Xiang who was kneeling on the ground.

"Muxiang, you are the only one among so many people who can't take out the bag. Do you still want to say that someone else framed you? But do you think that as long as you don't admit it, this princess can't do anything to you?"

"Liuli applied the potion to Muxiang's hands. As long as her hands touched Linggu Powder, a hint of blue would appear on her hands after applying the potion."

"Whether you are innocent or not is clear at a glance. Even if you want to play rogue, you can't deny it."

Soon Liuli brought the potion over, and Muxiang, who had just tried hard to prove his innocence, looked as pale as death.

She knew best whether she had poisoned someone or not. If Ye Jintang really found out, she would probably be beaten to death. It would be better to die now than to die in such an ugly way.

Liuli asked two maids to come forward, wanting Muxiang to stretch out her hand so that she could apply the medicine, but she didn't expect Muxiang to suddenly get rid of the two maids, took out a pill from her arms and put it into her mouth.

Liuli, who was standing by, reached out to pick it up, but it was too late. Muxiang swallowed the pill directly.

She just laughed and said, "Ye Jintang, don't even think about getting anything out of me. You're lucky that I didn't poison you to death today, but the Qin Palace is going to be in big trouble soon."

Mu Xiang laughed extremely arrogantly, but after just a few words, she was already vomiting blood.

"Liuli, give her all the detoxification pills and detoxification water. It won't be that easy for her to die."

When Ye Jintang gave Zhou Wuwei space spring water a few days ago, he also left a few bottles for himself for emergency use. He didn't expect to use them so soon.

Liuli deftly fed the antidote to Muxiang, but Muxiang was not afraid at all and even endured the severe pain to mock Ye Jintang.

"It's useless. The poison I took is more powerful than the poison of the crane's head. Even a great immortal can't save my life."

"I am a person who dares to snatch people from the King of Hell. Let's wait and see whether I can save you."

The space spring water can bring the dead back to life, so Ye Jintang didn’t take the small poison seriously at all.

After taking the spring water, Muxiang was still able to laugh at first, but when she felt the severe pain in her body was slowly disappearing, she finally couldn't laugh anymore.

"Muxiang, don't worry. You won't die anytime soon. I just want to ask you, are you going to confess yourself, or are you going to experience my interrogation methods?"

Muxiang had been in the palace for several years, so she was naturally very familiar with the methods used to interrogate prisoners in the backyard. They were not much different from those in the Ministry of Justice's prison. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but tremble all over.

She wanted to hit her head against the pillar and continue to commit suicide, but she didn't have that chance.

Two maids tied her hands and feet behind her back.

"As long as I don't want you to die, you have to live obediently. Don't even think about biting your tongue to commit suicide. Even if you bite your tongue off, I can put it back for you."

"Now let me ask you one question. Who asked you to poison me?"

Ye Jintang's voice was not loud, but it was like a knife tempered with ice, stabbing directly into Mu Xiang's chest. She was now unable to live or die, and could only obey Ye Jintang in everything.

After a long silence, Muxiang finally spoke after a mental struggle.

"It was Imperial Noble Consort Dehui who forced me to poison Your Majesty, and begged Your Majesty to spare my life."

Ye Jintang already knew the answer to this question. The reason why he forced Muxiang to speak it out was just to create public opinion and make Consort Dehui fall into the whirlpool of public opinion.

"What did you mean when you said that the Qin Palace was going to be in great trouble?"

At this point, Muxiang gave up all struggles and told everything she had done clearly.

"I originally wanted to poison your Majesty's dishes, but Madam Qi brought Jade Rice, and your Majesty didn't touch the remaining dishes, so I could only put the poison in the sour plum soup."

Having said that, Ye Jintang understood without Muxiang's further explanation that the disaster that was about to happen to the Prince of Qin's Mansion was what Muxiang meant by the poisoning of Madam Qi.

If Madam Qi died because of eating something from the Qin Palace, even if it was not intentional, General Ding would still be angry with the Qin Palace.

"Madam Zhang, you give Muxiang to the prince, and you also throw these four maids over as well."

"Liuli, take the medicine box and follow me to the general's mansion."

Ye Jintang did not explain much, and immediately asked someone to prepare a carriage and hurried to the general's mansion.

As for other matters, she left it all to Xiao Mo to decide.

She just turned around to leave, but suddenly stopped and looked at Muxiang who had collapsed on the ground.

"I almost forgot to tell you that I was trying to apply potion to you just now. I was lying to you. Even if Linggu Powder is very powerful, it can't leave marks after just one touch. Muxiang, you have something to hide, so you were blown out by my blast."

Mu Xiang looked at Ye Jintang with a deathly pale face, unable to utter a word.

Ye Jintang's carriage galloped away, attracting many inquiring eyes. The Qin Palace has always been low-key, and it has never happened before that they allowed a carriage to run wildly on the street like today.

"What happened? The carriage is going so fast, aren't you afraid of hitting someone?

"Just now I saw the person sitting in the car seemed to be the Princess of Qin?"

"Look, the carriage is parked in front of the general's mansion."

"Ah, it really is the Princess of Qin. What happened in the General's Mansion? The Princess of Qin ran directly into the General's Mansion in a hurry."

Everyone was talking about it, all of them were extremely curious, and some even quietly asked what exactly had happened.

As soon as Ye Jintang entered the general's mansion, he asked the maid at the gate, "Madam General, are you well?"

"Your Highness, I don't know why my wife has leg pain. I have sent for the imperial physician to see her."

"How long has the doctor been in there?"

"It takes two cups of tea."

Ye Jintang was nervous. Madam Qi was already showing symptoms of poisoning. She couldn't help but quicken her pace. The maid beside her could not keep up and had to jog.

The group hurried into the Lanxing Pavilion where Madam Qi lived.

At this moment, many maids and old women were standing at the door of the house. The housekeeper, Madam Qu, who received the message, was the first to come out to greet them.

Madam Qu didn't know why Ye Jintang came over suddenly. She bowed and said, "This old servant greets the Madam. I'm afraid my wife can't see the Madam today."

Nanny Qu wanted to say something but was interrupted by Ye Jintang.

"I know Madam Qi has suddenly fallen ill. Take me in quickly. I have a way to detoxify her."

When Nanny Qu heard that Ye Jintang was here to save Madam Qi, she led him into the house without saying a word.

There were two imperial doctors standing in the outer room, and Ding Xinji was asking one of them questions with an anxious look on his face.

"Doctor Zheng, you are such a good doctor, how come you can't tell what's wrong with my wife?"

Perhaps he was too anxious, Ding Xinji almost shouted.

"General Ding, I am ashamed. I have been practicing medicine for so many years, but I have never seen such a strange pulse."

Imperial Physician Zheng was also quite depressed. He had been an imperial physician for decades. Even if he could not cure some difficult and complicated diseases, he could at least see some clues.

But today, he repeatedly took Madam Qi's pulse and found nothing unusual. As for why Madam Qi had leg pain and headache, he didn't know the reason.
