After reading my mind, Daddy, why don't you smile?

But he couldn't force it.

Shangguan Dan was just thinking of an idea when his third aunt, Princess Yangping, walked in.

Princess Yangping Zhao Fei is the youngest daughter of Prince Xiang and is well-known for her talent in the capital.

Several years ago, he went to the northwest to provide disaster relief and was suddenly hit by a rainstorm that occurred only once in a century. He was washed away by the flood and narrowly escaped death.

When I woke up, I had a sudden eye disease and couldn't see anything.

It was Zhao Fei who saved him and took care of him regardless of the girl's reputation.

Later, when he recovered from his illness, the two told each other their identities. It turned out that she was the youngest daughter of Prince Xiang, who had been raised in her mother's home because of her sickness since childhood.

In recognition of his life-saving grace, the old Duke asked the Emperor to grant Zhao Fei the title of Princess Yangping and to arrange a marriage for the two of them.

After being married for many years, he and Zhao Fei are not like his elder brother and his wife, who are just a fake couple on the surface. They are true lovers with deep affection!

The couple are of one mind and can talk about anything.

Not to mention such trivial matters as Shangguan Qingyue!

Shangguan Dan told Princess Yangping about the strange things that happened to Shangguan Qingyue. Princess Yangping did not seem surprised at all. Instead, she gave him some clear and logical advice.

Shangguan Dan looked at his wife's elegant and beautiful profile, with undisguised love in his eyes.

"Don't worry, Sanlang. If you want to get rid of that little kid without anyone noticing, and without letting Big Brother and Princess Chengqian get in trouble, there are ways."

"Oh? Tell me?"

"That little girl is dumb and young. If we poison her secretly and make her stupid..." Princess Yangping's eyes sparkled.

"Everyone will just think she is a fool, and she can't say anything more."

"What a great idea!"

Shangguan Dan made the final decision and it was settled.

The two then discussed the details.

The next morning, Shangguan Dan found the drug powder that could cause dementia and gave it to Princess Yangping.

Princess Yangping sprinkled the powder on the yam cake, and then ordered Qingzhu to deliver the yam cake to Qingyu Pavilion, and told him to make sure to watch the young lady take it with her own eyes.

After seeing Qingzhu off, Princess Yangping took the stomach-regulating medicine prescribed by the imperial physician.

She has had dry and hard stools these days, and the imperial physician said that she has an imbalance of her five internal organs, and needs to take medicine to regulate her stomach and intestines three times a day, and drink herbal tea after meals.

As soon as she finished drinking the medicine, she felt a sharp pain in her abdomen. She quickly called the maid to bring a toilet, but as soon as she sat on it, the feeling disappeared.

Instead, my lower abdomen became more bloated.

Princess Yangping frowned and sat up, just as Qingzhu, who had just delivered the yam cake, came back.

Princess Yangping was shocked. "See if she ate it?"

Qingzhu shook her head and said, "Madam, Hongxing, who is beside the young lady, said that the young lady is allergic to yam cake and cannot take it!"

Princess Yangping's pupils dilated slightly.

Qingzhu added, "Lutao said that if you are interested, you can make some shrimp cakes and send them over. The young lady loves them."

Princess Yangping frowned and said after a while: "If that's the case, I'll make some and you can send it over."

Princess Yangping suppressed her displeasure and went to the small kitchen to make a dish of shrimp crisps. Shrimp crisps are not easy to make, as it takes a long time to make the pure shrimp powder. It was already noon when Princess Yangping finished.

She sprinkled another bag of medicine powder on it while no one was paying attention.

Shangguan Dan gave her five packs, which she still had more than enough.

Princess Yangping instructed Qingzhu again, "It's time for lunch, send it over so that Xiaoyue can eat it with lunch!"

Qingzhu thought to herself that Princess Yangping had always disliked Miss Qingyue, so why did she change her mind this time? However, these matters were not something a maid like her could have a say in, so she just had to do her job well.

Qingzhu put the shrimp cakes into the food box and walked towards Qingyu Pavilion with the food box.

Seeing Qingzhu leave, Princess Yangping finally breathed a sigh of relief. The maid beside her reminded her when the meal would be served, but Princess Yangping waved her hands irritably. How could she be in the mood to eat now?

So instead of serving the meal, a toilet was brought instead.

Princess Yangping sat on it, drinking herbal tea.

As a result, after half a cup of tea, Qingzhu came back again. This time, there was not only her, but also a maid beside her, who seemed to be Hongxing from Qingyu Pavilion.

Princess Yangping lifted her skirt and stood up, her face pale.

When Hong Xing saw Princess Yangping coming out, she immediately knelt down and admitted her fault, "Madam, please forgive me!"

Princess Yangping was puzzled, "What crime have you committed?"

Hong Xing was so scared that her voice was shaking. "The shrimp cakes that the Third Madam sent were accidentally dropped by me. I am here to apologize!"

"What! He fell??!"

Princess Yangping stood up suddenly and glared at Hong Xing.

Upon hearing that, Hong Xing pressed her forehead to the ground and apologized.

"You! You!!" Princess Yangping was furious. She pointed at Hong Xing for a long time and couldn't say a word.

It is impossible to impose a fine.

How big a sin is it to drop a plate of shrimp cakes?

If she punished her like this, wouldn't it seem that she was narrow-minded and harsh towards servants? Besides, Hong Xing was Princess Chengqian's servant.

But if there is no punishment, it would be too infuriating.

How much effort did she put in?

Just let her fall like this? ?

Princess Yangping took great pains to clear the anger in her heart. She let out a long sigh, "Get up. It's just a small matter. I'll make it and send it to Xiaoyue."

Hong Xing was overjoyed when she heard this. She kowtowed twice and said, "My Lady Princess is kind-hearted. My little girl has had some indigestion recently. It would be great if she could have a plate of cool, sweet and sour hawthorn cake after dinner..."

Princess Yangping: "..."

Princess Yangping smiled with a fake smile, "You go back and wait, I'll have Qingzhu deliver it when it's done."

Hong Xing: "Thank you, Princess! I'll take my leave now!"

See Hong Xing leave.

Princess Yangping slammed the table and growled:

"Eat, eat, eat! All you need to know about eating is a mouth!"

Next to her, the little maid's voice came weakly,

"Madam, the young lady can't talk, but her mouth can do more than just eat..."

"Shut up!"

Princess Yangping was furious. She picked up the tea bowl and gulped down another cup of cold tea, which relieved her depressed mood a little.

She stood up and walked towards the small kitchen again.

Hawthorn cake...

Isn’t it just hawthorn cake?

Princess Yangping boiled the fresh hawthorns prepared by the chef into jam, and finally made it into pastries. The pastries were crystal clear and looked delicious and refreshing.

Princess Yangping was also quite satisfied, and thought to herself that she should make one more plate and send one to her brother Quan.

The one given to Shangguan Qingyue was sprinkled with medicinal powder, and the powder seeped into the paste, making it look no different from ordinary ones.

Princess Yangping was worried that she had taken the wrong one, so she specially made the two plates of hawthorn cakes have different numbers of pieces, nine for the little mute and ten for Brother Quan. Before leaving, she personally took the one that was given to Brother Quan.

As a result, as soon as I reached the door of the kitchenette, I felt a sudden stomach cramp. The feeling was overwhelming, like a storm, and it was unbearable.

"Puff puff"

Princess Yangping farted several loudly, and finally she couldn't hold it in any longer, so she put the plate next to the stove, covered her stomach and ran to the toilet.

As a result, as soon as I arrived at the toilet, the thunder-like pain disappeared instantly.

Princess Yangping was so angry that she became irritable and her expression became increasingly ugly.

She did not forget her business, and when her stomachache subsided, she hurried back to the kitchenette.

As soon as I entered, the hawthorn cake placed next to the stove was gone.

Princess Yangping suddenly let out a sharp explosion.

"Where's the hawthorn cake?"

"Madam, Biju saw that you were not here, so she went to the young master with the hawthorn cake."

Upon hearing this, Princess Yangping immediately went to find another plate and counted the number of cakes on the plate. There were exactly nine. This meant that Bi Ju was right to take it away, and the plate of cakes that the little mute had drugged was still here.

Princess Yangping breathed a sigh of relief, but just as she was about to let go, she heard the little maid say, "Madam, a wild cat just came and took away a piece of the hawthorn cake on the plate..."

"what?"

"The wild cat took away a piece of hawthorn cake..."

Princess Yangping was stunned for a long while, then she screamed: "Call Biju back to me! Get the hawthorn cake back to me!!"
