The Destiny of Going to Hell

Yixiu's acting skills have always been top-notch.

The doctor shook his head and sighed, "Cassava flour itself is not toxic, but babies' stomachs are particularly delicate. Eating cassava flour will irritate their stomachs and cause vomiting or spitting up milk. If this continues for a long time, I'm afraid they will become weak and die."

He added: "Cassava flour and water chestnut flour are very similar in color and shape. Once mixed together, it is difficult to distinguish them."

Yinzhen's face turned pale when he heard this. "How can the Imperial Kitchen run its business? They would make such a mistake?!"

"The people in the imperial kitchen are all experts in this field and will definitely not make such a low-level mistake. It seems that someone did it on purpose." Nian Shilan added fuel to the fire.

After hearing this, Yinzhen was furious. "What a sinister trick! Are you trying to put my princess to death?!"

Everyone looked at each other, and no one dared to say anything for a moment. The atmosphere was extremely tense.

Cao Qinmo was so sad that she couldn't help crying.

"I am a wicked concubine. If I have done anything immoral, please have mercy on me and let Wen Yi go. As his mother, I am willing to accept any punishment from heaven."

Nian Shilan sneered and pulled her up.

"What's the point of praying to God? I'm afraid someone is behind this and is deliberately trying to make things difficult for you and your daughter!"

She knelt down and pleaded with Yinzhen, "Your Majesty, please have mercy on Concubine Cao and her daughter, and immediately investigate this matter thoroughly to clean up the palace."

Yinzhen's eyes flashed coldly, "Investigate! Investigate this matter immediately and thoroughly, and make sure to get to the bottom of it!"

It was soon discovered that the water chestnut soup was consumed on the night of the banquet when Princess Wen Yi was suffering from severe vomiting.

Princess Wen Yi continued to consume this soup over the past few days, and it was obvious that the source of the problem lay in the cassava flour mixed in the soup.

"Your Majesty, only Lady Wan sent someone to get tapioca flour four days ago, saying that she was going to make pearl dumplings. There was no one else."

Zhen Huan's heart moved, and she remembered that Huanbi had gone to get tapioca flour to make meatballs for her. Is there a connection between them?

It’s a pity that Sister Mei has to see Wen Yi in order to protect the fetus, otherwise I would have someone to speak up for me.

"Four days ago, because I wanted to eat water chestnut cake, I asked Huanbi to get it. When she came back, she did bring cassava flour to make pearl dumplings for me."

Yinzhen asked, "Only someone from the palace of Wan Guiren has taken it, and no one else has?"

The eunuch did not dare to hesitate, "Yes."

Yinzhen's eyes swept across Zhen Huan's face intentionally or unintentionally, and he said lightly, "This doesn't prove that it was done by Concubine Wan."

Although he loved Wen Yi very much, he was not infertile, and Zhen Huan was a rare and perfect woman.

Suddenly, one of the palace maids knelt down.

"During the banquet that night, Lady Wan went out alone. I saw that the young lady seemed to be heading towards the Qingliang Palace."

Yinzhen suddenly raised his eyes, "Did you see it with your own eyes?"

"Yes, I saw it with my own eyes, it's absolutely true. The young lady went out alone and didn't bring anyone with her."

Nian Shilan looked at Zhen Huan coldly, "How dare you, Zhen Huan, kneel down!"

Cao Qinmo walked up to Zhen Huan, tears in her eyes.

"Sister, you know that you may have been inappropriate in your behavior and offended me unintentionally. Last time, sister just spoke too quickly and did not intend to cause misunderstanding between the emperor and my sister."

"If this causes me to be blamed by my sister, you can beat me and scold me. Why do you want to harm my Wen Yi like this? She is just a baby."

Hearing this, Yinzhen couldn't help but recall the day when he first met Zhen Huan and used the identity of Old Seventeen, but he still spoke.

"Lady Cao, what are you doing? It's inappropriate to cry like this before the matter has been investigated."

Then he looked at Zhen Huan, "What do you want to defend yourself?"

Zhen Huan slowly knelt down and looked up at Yinzhen.

"I did not do this. I did pass by the Qingliang Palace that night, but I did not set foot inside the palace."

Nian Shilan accused coldly.

"There was a night banquet in the palace that day, and most of the palace maids and eunuchs were waiting outside the Jiuzhou Qingyan Palace. The rest of the servants were also drinking and napping. I don't think anyone would notice whether you entered the Qingliang Palace."

"However, apart from the imperial kitchen, you are the only one in the palace who has tapioca flour, and a palace maid saw you heading in the direction of Qingliang Palace."

"Not long after you left, Wen Yi started to have an attack. I'm afraid this can't be explained away by the word 'coincidence' alone."

Zhen Huan ignored Concubine Hua and only spoke to Yin Zhen, "I have indeed never done this. I am willing to guarantee my innocence with my life."

Upon hearing this, Nian Shilan curled up the corner of his mouth into a sneer.

"At this point, you are still making sweet excuses!"

"If the Concubine Hua insists on blaming me, I have nothing to say. I only ask the Emperor and the Empress to understand."

After Zhen Huan finished speaking, she bowed her head.

Seeing this, Yinzhen slowly spoke, "Since you said you didn't do it, then after you left the table, did you meet anyone, or did anything else that can prove that you didn't enter the Qingliang Palace? This way, it can also prove that you have nothing to do with this matter."

When Zhen Huan heard this, her eyes moved slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she didn't speak.

What should we say about him and Prince Guo, who are alone together?

At this time Concubine Duan arrived and testified directly for Zhen Huan. She met Zhen Huan on the road and called her to her palace.

Concubine Duan was also attracted by Zhen Huan's face that resembled Empress Chun Yuan.

"Your Majesty," Fuling stepped out of the line and bowed to Yinzhen.

"I remember that Lady Wan mentioned at the night banquet that when she was leaving the table, she saw a flower called Xiyan, and she missed the time because she was too eager to see it. But as far as I know, the Xiyan flower only blooms in Tonghua Terrace..."

Fuling doesn't like Concubine Duan, this venomous snake.

Fuling's words made Concubine Duan and Zhen Huan's faces change, but Nian Shilan was particularly happy.

Nian Shilan originally thought that this plan would fail, but unexpectedly there was a silver lining! She could even bring Concubine Duan down with her.

"Then Concubine Duan just gave false testimony. I just don't know how this Concubine Wan could be worthy of your condescending help."

Cao Qinmo gave a wink, and another palace servant jumped out.

"Your Majesty, I seem to have seen Lady Wan and Prince Guo behaving intimately that day..."

Everyone knows where Tonghua Terrace is, but Zhen Huan remained silent even though there were witnesses. This must mean something is going on.

How many people in the palace are stupid?

Yinzhen's face became darker, "Qi Yuebin, you really disappoint me."

He actually called out the name directly. It seemed that Yinzhen was very angry.

Qi Yuebin is an old man now and he once served Chun Yuan.

She was able to give false testimony for Zhen Huan. Wasn't it because of her face that she was attracted to? Did she want to sell it for a good deal?

Haha, Yinzhen just felt that his act of using someone as a substitute had been exposed, and he looked very ridiculous in Qi Yuebin's eyes.

Moreover, Qi Yuebin dared to testify for Zhen Huan without knowing anything. It seemed that Zhen Huan and Prince Seventeen had something going on.

Is Qi Yuebin helping Zhen Huan to wear the green hat on herself?

His male chauvinism flared up and his face flushed with anger.

"Concubine Duan, you have behaved improperly, and you will be demoted to a concubine."

He paused and continued, "Su Peisheng, go and call Prince Guo over. Except for Lady Wan, everyone else should leave."

Thinking of the day when Prince Guo played the flute for Zhen Huan, he felt that he was being cuckolded more and more tightly.

Wen Yi's case came to a conclusion three days later.

Xiao Tang, who was in charge of pastry ingredients in the imperial kitchen, came forward and said that he had accidentally mixed up the two kinds of powder, which caused the princess to feel unwell.

Xiao Tang was caned to death by order of Yinzhen, while Zhen Huan was demoted and confined by Yinzhen. After becoming a concubine, Zhen Huan's confinement period was indefinite.

Prince Guo was fined one year's salary and was not allowed to enter the palace without an imperial edict, lest he come to chat with his concubine under the moon again.

At this point, Zhen Huan was beaten, but Shen Meizhuang still wanted to exonerate Zhen Huan, so she found an opportunity to hold a banquet, hoping to create a relaxed and happy atmosphere and take the opportunity to plead for Zhen Huan from Yinzhen.

But she didn't expect that at this banquet, she would also be thrown into the mud along with Zhen Huan. No, she was even more miserable than Zhen Huan.
