I was flattered after crossing

"Eh? Where are Leilei and Xiaocui? I remember I was with them before I fainted from vomiting~" I sat up straight on the couch and asked Xiao Zhengxuan with a frown.

"After sending you here, let them go back first. Princess, don't worry. Someone has been sent to report the news. I think they will be here soon." Xiao Zhengxuan said to me softly in a comforting voice.

"Master!" Seventeen reported loudly outside the door.

"Come in and answer the question." Xiao Zhengxuan turned around and said.

"My lord, the servant who went to deliver the message came back and said that Miss Ling'er and Miss Cui'er both had symptoms of vomiting." Seventeen reported the situation anxiously.

"Go and find Doctor Liu quickly, he should not have gone far! He is a royal physician, but he can't even tell that someone has poisoned someone!" Xiao Zhengxuan's face became even gloomier, and a thin layer of sweat appeared on his forehead.

I quickly advised, "If we all vomit, it might just be common food poisoning."

"Did you eat the same food just now?" Xiao Zhengxuan asked hurriedly.

"It's bird's nest porridge. Isn't it what you said? You asked someone to make it for me because you were afraid that I would be tired. And Xiao Cui had to watch me while I ate..." I recalled what Xiao Cui said in the afternoon bit by bit and said to him.

"What!" Xiao Zhengxuan looked at me with wide eyes, an expression of disbelief on his face.

"Ah? Isn't it?" I looked at him in surprise, shocked by his reaction.

"It's true that I asked the kitchen to make bird's nest porridge for you, but I didn't ask Xiao Cui to watch you drink it." Xiao Zhengxuan frowned and said in a serious tone. He seemed to realize that something was wrong and immediately shouted loudly: "Someone come!"

As soon as he finished speaking, several guards and servants quickly walked into the room and stood respectfully by the side waiting for Xiao Zhengxuan's instructions.

"Go to Haitang Garden and bring all the people here. Then carefully search all suspicious places in the house!" Xiao Zhengxuan's voice revealed a hint of anger.

The guards hurried away after receiving the order, and then began a comprehensive search of Haitang Garden. At the same time, Xiao Zhengxuan turned to look at me, his eyes full of concern: "Don't be nervous, wait for the imperial physician to come and check your physical condition. This matter must be strange, and I will never allow anyone to hurt you." His words made me feel a lot more at ease.

Not long after, Seventeen hurried in: "Your Majesty, Imperial Doctor Liu has arrived."

"Doctor Liu, now everyone around the princess who has eaten the same food as her has started vomiting. Please check on the princess again. It should not be caused by anger. I know my princess well. She rarely gets angry (unless it involves his money)." Xiao Zhengxuan said, staring at Doctor Liu with a solemn expression.

"Ah? Then I will feel your pulse again." Before he finished speaking, Doctor Liu came forward to feel my pulse. While feeling my pulse, Doctor Liu kept shaking his head, which really scared me.

Originally half-leaning, he now sat up and asked anxiously, "What's wrong, Doctor Liu? Am I already terminally ill?"

Hearing what I said, Xiao Zhengxuan also moved to the edge of the bed and sat down, staring at Doctor Liu.

Doctor Liu was so frightened that he could hardly speak clearly: "Ah? No, no, no... I just can't figure out what kind of poison this is! It's not that the princess's illness is incurable. Judging from the current condition, she is basically fine. After the specific toxin is found, I will prescribe a prescription for recuperation. Your Majesty and Princess can rest assured."

"Oh, that's fine. By the way, Doctor Liu, I'd like to trouble you to check on my two sisters. They ate the same thing as me and are vomiting now. There should be some leftover bird's nest porridge over there. Could you please take a look and see if you can find some clues?" I said to Doctor Liu weakly.

"Well, Princess, you are too polite. I will go right away. You must have lost your vitality after vomiting. Princess, please have a good rest. Just leave it to me!" Doctor Liu responded quickly.

As soon as he finished speaking, a servant walked up to Doctor Liu, made a gesture of invitation, and the two of them walked out of the room together and headed towards Haitang Garden.

At this moment, there was a rustling sound outside the house. After a while, Seventeen walked into the room and reported to Xiao Zhengxuan: "Master, except for the two girls who are vomiting, the other eleven people in Haitang Garden have arrived."

"Okay, I'll go right away." Xiao Zhengxuan responded, turned his head to look at me lying on the bed, and said softly: "You take a rest first, I'll go interrogate them."

"Okay, go ahead." I nodded and gently patted his hand on the bedside to reassure him.

"By the way, Seventeen, I'll have to trouble you to wait until they finish searching the yard and then leave a few people to guard them. We don't know who they are targeting yet, and I'm afraid they will be in danger." I felt like I didn't have much energy to speak, but I still forced myself to give instructions to Seventeen.

Seventeen replied respectfully: "Please rest assured, Princess. We have arranged for someone to guard there."

I felt a little relieved after hearing his response. "Okay, then go and help the prince deal with things. I don't have anything to do here for the time being."

After saying that, Seventeen quickly walked out of the room.

I lay in bed, thoughts starting to flood in. This really didn't seem like a run-of-the-mill case of food poisoning.

Why is the problem with the bird's nest porridge when the lunch is fine? Bird's nest porridge usually contains bird's nest, white fungus, lotus seeds, lily, and a little osmanthus as a decoration... If there is no food incompatibility, then it must be targeting me, because I can only eat bird's nest.

And Seventeen mentioned just now that except Leilei and Cui'er, everyone else was present. So, it also proved that the problem was the bird's nest porridge.

Xiao Zhengxuan had clearly told the servants that this was specially prepared for me, so logically, this bird's nest porridge should only be eaten by me. Leilei and Cui'er were not supposed to drink this bowl of porridge, but Leilei happened to come back at this time and asked for an extra bowl for Cui'er.

The more I thought about it, the more I felt something was wrong. It seemed that there was a bigger conspiracy behind this poisoning incident. Who wanted to harm me? Was it an enemy in the mansion? Or someone else who had a grudge against me? For a moment, countless questions came to my mind, making me confused and uneasy.

There is no way Cui wants to harm me. If she really wanted to harm me, she would have done it long ago. Why would she wait until now, even risking her own life to take the poison together...

So, who else hates me so much? Did I offend someone here? Is it the Prime Minister? How come... eh? Wait...

"Xiao Zhengxuan!!!!" I shouted loudly in the house.

I only heard the sound of a chair being moved outside the house, and then I saw Xiao Zhengxuan walking in hurriedly.

He asked with a worried look on his face: "What's wrong? Are you feeling nauseous again? Didn't you feel better just now?"

I quickly comforted him, "I'm fine, I just suddenly thought of something and I need you to take care of it."

"Please speak, Princess." Xiao Zhengxuan sat on the edge of the bed as if relieved, staring at me and said.

"You should immediately send people to the other courtyard to investigate and see who in our courtyard Xiang'er has a deep connection with." I raised my chin slightly, with confidence in my eyes.

He suddenly realized: "The princess is really intelligent." Xiao Zhengxuan glanced back and saw two guards taking orders and leaving.

"As smart as ice and snow? Humph! If she was really smart, how could she be poisoned, and even implicate Leilei and Cui'er... Alas, I don't know how they are doing now." I looked at Xiao Zhengxuan, and said with helplessness and worry on my face.

Xiao Zhengxuan comforted them softly, "Since you were poisoned by the same poison, I think they should be fine now. When the two imperial doctors arrive later, I will ask them to go and visit them."

After hearing what he said, I felt a little relieved and nodded in response, "Okay. By the way, did you get any clues from those people?"

Xiao Zhengxuan shook his head helplessly and sighed, "Everyone claims that they didn't do anything. Four of the servants were unable to enter the small kitchen, so they can be basically ruled out as suspects, but the others all said they knew nothing about it. We can only hope to find some clues in the next search of Haitang Garden."

"Well, don't worry, let's check it slowly. By the way, isn't it time for you to go out too?" I turned to look at Xiao Zhengxuan and asked.

However, he waved his hand, indicating that he had no intention of leaving: "Don't worry, let them continue to kneel. Those who are guilty will naturally reveal their flaws. Even if they have nothing to do with this matter, they must be punished. Someone actually dared to poison in the palace. It would not be an exaggeration even if they are all beaten to death!" As his voice fell, Xiao Zhengxuan's tone became more severe.

"Hey, don't be angry, I'm fine, right?" I quickly advised.

He looked at me with some annoyance, his tone carrying a hint of reproach, "Do I have to wait for something to happen to the princess before I can get angry? What's the point of getting angry then?" I was speechless for a moment after hearing his question, and I had no answer.

At this moment, the butler's voice came from outside the door: "Your Majesty, Imperial Doctor Xue and Imperial Doctor Zhang are here."

"Please come in!" Xiao Zhengxuan said hurriedly, and moved to the foot of the bed so that the imperial doctors could better diagnose my condition.

Seeing this, I couldn't help but laugh in my heart. This little guy is quite smart and sensible.

"Your Highness, please rest assured. The princess is no longer in danger. May I ask if the item that caused the princess' poisoning is still there?" Doctor Xue asked Xiao Zhengxuan beside him while carefully checking my condition.

"Someone has been sent to investigate. Please wait a moment." Xiao Zhengxuan replied respectfully.

Just as everyone was waiting for the results of the investigation, Seventeen hurried in and said, "Master, I have searched the entire Begonia Garden and found nothing. The small kitchen was also cleaned thoroughly, especially the utensils used to make bird's nest for the princess in the afternoon, which were washed extra clean."

Hearing this news, I frowned slightly, leaned on the bed, looked at Xiao Zhengxuan and said, "This person is so thoughtful and quick, it seems that he is not easy to deal with."

"Is the bird's nest that the princess drank today different from before?" Doctor Xue thought for a moment and looked at me and asked.

"Different? There's more osmanthus today..." I said as I recalled, "But I don't smell the fragrance of osmanthus... Instead, it smells like cream."

"Cream?" Doctor Xue looked at me in surprise.

"Oh oh oh, it's a rich aroma with a hint of milk flavor." After saying that, he looked at Doctor Xue quietly.

"Did the princess feel abdominal pain at that time?" Doctor Xue asked again.

"It seemed like there was a little at the end, but it also seemed like there wasn't. I remember just vomiting, and then I passed out." I touched the back of my head and thought about it carefully.

"The princess does have abdominal pain, vomiting and diarrhea." Xiao Zhengxuan interrupted me.

"What! Is it so embarrassing?" I couldn't help but shudder when I thought of my embarrassing appearance.

My face turned pale, and when I thought about how I had lost my composure in front of everyone, I wished I could find a hole in the ground to crawl into.

It’s okay, it’s okay. I’m not embarrassed. The embarrassment is other people’s.

"Are there oleanders planted in the prince's mansion?" Doctor Xue asked Xiao Zhengxuan.

Doctor Zhang heard this and nodded, saying, "Yes! I think so too. The princess's symptoms are indeed quite consistent with oleander poisoning."

At this moment, the butler who had been standing silently by the side suddenly interrupted and said, "Reporting to the prince and the two imperial physicians, there is indeed oleander, just outside the Begonia Garden!" His tone was very affirmative.

"In that case, please take me over to check it out." Doctor Xue said as he slowly stood up.

Upon seeing this, Xiao Zhengxuan turned to the housekeeper and Seventeen and instructed, "Housekeeper Pan, you and Seventeen take the two imperial physicians with you." After they left, only Xiao Zhengxuan and I were left in the room.

Xiao Zhengxuan stared at me, finally smiled, and said, "Now I have some clues."

I sighed softly and murmured to myself: "Oleander again..."

Xiao Zhengxuan asked with concern: "Princess, do you know about oleander?"

I nodded slightly to indicate my agreement. Then, I raised my head, looked at him calmly, and explained, "Yes, in our place, this kind of flower often appears in court struggle dramas. The whole plant of this flower is poisonous. I think what I'm eating today might be its pollen."

Seeing that he was listening attentively, I continued, "Because there are more osmanthus flowers in the bird's nest today, if the person who poisoned me only put some pollen, even though I can't see it, I can smell that something is wrong.

But if I put in osmanthus to confuse it, I won't care about the wrong details. So... I think the person who poisoned me must be a woman. "I said and looked at Xiao Zhengxuan.

He pondered for a moment, then nodded suddenly and said, "It seems that there are still four maids who are suspects."

I continued, "If we didn't find any trace of pollen in Haitang Garden just now, then it can only be hidden on them. Search them and check if there is pollen hidden under their nails." After hearing what I said, Xiao Zhengxuan's face became solemn.

"Well, what the princess said makes sense." After a moment he stood up, turned around and quickly walked out of the room to give instructions on the relevant matters.
