Traveling to the ancient harem

"Your Majesty." The Queen Mother called again, but this voice sounded much weaker than the previous one. She was also afraid if her prince really lost face. However, she had lost face in front of so many people, so even if the emperor said something lightly about that shitty prince, she could still step down.

"If your mother feels uncomfortable, you may go back first." The emperor was also annoyed. His mother was really not one who could be taken lightly. The selection of concubines had already caused trouble for Xu Rou, and this was the second time. He was too lazy to deal with this mother who was not satisfied with the status quo.

The little Prince Fu almost laughed out loud and secretly gave the emperor a thumbs up, thinking that his brother was awesome. The emperor glared at him, thinking that he was a troublesome person and why was he getting angry with a woman in the harem?

The Queen Mother was completely silent. She couldn't leave. This matter was arranged by her and she was afraid that it would be exposed. She felt a little regretful at this moment. Rou'er swore that she intervened only when this matter could be accomplished. Now it seemed that it was not that simple. She shouldn't have listened to her. Now she was in a difficult situation.

The Third Prince looked at the maid in the sewing room and continued to ask, "The size of this Miss Huang's clothes should be different from most people's, right?"

"Miss Huang is tall, and only a few people are the same size as her, like this lady." The nanny pointed at Shi Yaoyao.

Huang Ye sneered in his heart. The Queen Mother and the others really put a lot of effort into it. It was not easy to choose such a person.

The Third Prince was not discouraged. The more difficult the case, the more interested he was. He still felt that there was something wrong when he received his food. The food basket...

"Bring the bag that the clothes were wrapped in." He thought that the two people had the same body shape, and he couldn't find anything on the clothes. The most likely time for tampering was to put the clothes into the food basket and switch them without leaving a trace. But if they were put into the food basket, they would definitely be contaminated with the smell of food. The nanny in the sewing room had just said that the bag that wrapped the palace clothes for the selection had been washed and ironed in advance, so there was no way there would be any smell.

Huang Ye handed the bundle to the Third Prince, whose ears turned red. The hand of this beautiful lady was so beautiful, so white and tender. He shook his head. Now was not the time to think about this. Only by performing well could he win the heart of the beauty.

Putting the bag under his nose, the third prince understood that he was not wrong and it was the same as he thought.

"My lady, I guess the bag that holds your clothes has not been washed, right?" The Third Prince asked Shi Yaoyao. This lady was acting pretentious and there was something fishy about her at first glance. Even if she wanted to frame the person he liked, it depended on whether he agreed or not.

"His Royal Highness the Third Prince, the bag has not been washed and is still in the concubine's room." Seeing that she was already suspected, Shi Yaoyao did not panic. She had already dealt with it in advance. She was not afraid even if she was exposed. The Empress Dowager would not allow the matter to continue to be investigated.

Xiao Dezi, who was beside the Third Prince, was very smart. Without being told by the Third Prince, he asked Cai'er to get the bundle.

Xiao Dezi came back very quickly. It was only a few steps away. The Third Prince took it and put it under his nose to smell it and laughed: "I didn't expect this young lady to have such a hobby that she even fumigated her bag with incense."

"The concubines like to use incense, so when I took the clothes back yesterday, I asked Cai'er to fumigate them with her favorite lily scent, thinking that the fragrance would be preserved. Even the wrapping cloth that wrapped the clothes was fumigated with it." Shi Yaoyao thought her answer was flawless, but everyone present, including the concubines, had almost reconstructed the whole thing in their minds.

"Your Highness, if the problem is really with the food basket, I have thought of one thing. Although the food baskets are distributed uniformly in the palace, the food basket in my room is different..."

"Impossible, they are all the same." Que'er, who was kneeling on the ground, raised his head and answered confidently: "I checked, and they are the same as others."

What did the people present not understand? This palace maid was a spy. But this spy was really stupid, she confessed without being asked.

Que'er covered her mouth. What happened to her just now? How could she respond to such words? Her mind was a little confused.

"Is it the same?" Huang Ye continued to ask her, "Why do I feel that the food basket in our room is smaller than Shi Xiunv's food basket, and the pattern is more delicate."

"They are all the same, the patterns are the same." Que'er didn't want to say it, but she couldn't control her mouth: "If the food basket was smaller, the clothes would be wrinkled even if they were placed against the edge..." She suddenly covered her mouth with her hands in horror. She must have been going crazy to say what was in her heart.

Huang Ye smiled. She was never willing to trust anyone easily, let alone the person who was assigned to her under the nose of the empress dowager. On the first day she came in, she put medicine on the dessert under the excuse of watching sparrows and watched her eat it with her own eyes. This medicine was usually useless and harmless to the body. It would only work when combined with another medicine.

That's why Huang Ye lit the incense just before coming. This was something she invented when she was making the fasting pill. No matter how strong her willpower is, once she is poisoned by this medicine, she will involuntarily speak out her true feelings. You ask how this medicine was brought into the palace, well, there are so many medicinal powders that she couldn't bring in with her cotton jacket.

"Then how did you change the clothes?" The Third Prince patiently tried to persuade her. The maid looked so stupid that she wanted to tell him everything before he even asked her. The person who arranged this matter did not do any investigation in advance and dared to use such a person without fear of getting the matter exposed and implicated herself.

"We..." Que'er really couldn't control herself. She was about to tell the whole story, but was suddenly interrupted by an angry shout.
