After Huanbi was reborn, she became the prince's favorite

Mei Zhuang covered her mouth, got up from the bed, and ordered, "Cai Yue, go call the wet nurse and the maids who take care of the princess!"

After a while, Caiyue called people over.

"Tell me clearly what the princess has eaten these days, how many meals she has eaten every day, and whether anyone else has approached the princess. If anyone dares to lie or keeps silent about something, I will report it to the emperor. Anyone who plots to murder the princess will be executed along with his entire clan!" Zhen Huan looked at them seriously.

The three of them were so frightened that they quickly knelt on the ground and replied. Nanny Li on the far left raised her head and looked at Mei Zhuang with a calm and composed look in her eyes.

"Your Highness, the princess has not yet finished her confinement. She only drinks our breast milk every day. In addition, there is the spleen-strengthening medicine that Master Wen prescribed for the princess seven days ago. The medicine was boiled by Miss Caiyue and fed directly to the princess. We have never touched it!"

Nanny Wu in the middle also nodded continuously, but she was too timid to look up at her master.

Nanny Fang on the far right continued, "In reply to your Majesty, Nanny Li and I have to feed the princess and pay close attention to her diet. Not to mention other medicines, not even a grain of salt can be added to her food, in case the princess is too young to handle it. She is also afraid to eat anything bad."

Huanbi stood behind Zhen Huan and looked at the three people. She always felt that the nanny in the middle had a strange expression. On the surface, she looked timid and scared, but for some reason, she gave people the feeling that she was not afraid and even took the questioning today calmly.

"You mean this matter has nothing to do with you three?"

"To answer your Majesty, we servants really don't dare to lay a hand on the princess!"

At this time, Huanbi pointed at the nanny in the middle and said, "The other two nannies are responsible for feeding the princess, what are you responsible for?"

Zhen Huan and Mei Zhuang looked at Huanbi at the same time. Could it be that Huanbi knew something that neither of them noticed?

"I am responsible for the daily care of the princess, washing, and sewing her clothes and bedding."

Huanbi walked forward and took Nanny Wu's hand to look at it. She saw that her palm was smooth and white, and the lines on the fingertips were clearly visible. She put it close to her nose and sniffed it. No, why was there a smell of herbs on this palm?

Huanbi shook off Nanny Wu's finger and pointed at her, shouting, "How dare you lie in front of the Empress! If you don't tell the truth, I will have you taken to the Ministry of Punishment for torture. If you are found out, your family won't be able to survive, just because of the Emperor's love for the princess!"

Mei Zhuang's face showed some hesitation, but Zhen Huan looked calm. Huanbi must have discovered something when she said this.

Madam Wu kept shaking her head, "Miss, I really don't know what to say. I didn't do anything!"

"You didn't do it? Then why do your hands smell like herbs? Also, since you are responsible for washing the princess' clothes and cleaning her daily life, why are your palms smooth and white without even a callus?"

Zhen Huan hurriedly turned around and called Wen Shichu, "Doctor Wen, go check if the smell on Nanny Wu's hand is the smell of Chinese medicine."

After a while, Doctor Wen smelled it and it was "Shanglu".

"What kind of medicine is this? Why have I never heard of it?" Zhen Huan looked at Wen Shichu worriedly.

Doctor Wen gritted his teeth and said, "This medicine is a laxative, which has the effect of detoxifying and promoting bowel movements. However, it is poisonous, so ordinary people should be cautious when taking it, and infants should not be touched at all. The princess's high fever and vomiting are indeed consistent with the symptoms of taking this medicine."

Mei Zhuang was so angry that she walked up to Wu Ma and grabbed her by the collar, glaring at her fiercely: "I treated you well, why did you poison the princess?"

"I...I have never poisoned the princess!"

Just as he finished speaking, Nanny Li suddenly fell to the ground, foaming at the mouth. Wen Shichu hurried forward to check and found that she was also poisoned by the shanglu, but the poison in her body was heavier than that in the princess's body. Because she was an adult and her body was stronger, the poison took effect more slowly.

Zhen Huan was panicking inside, but she remained calm on the surface to control the situation.

"If you confess now, I may forgive your family. But if you wait until the Emperor comes, you will be punished along with your entire clan!"

Nanny Wu was so frightened that she fell to her knees, her legs trembling uncontrollably, and her hands were shaking, "I...I really didn't drug the princess!"

At this time, Nanny Fang suddenly remembered that before lunch yesterday, Nanny Wu sent herself and Nanny Li away and went into the princess's bedroom alone.

"Who instructed you to do this?" Zhen Huan continued to ask.

Nanny Wu didn't cry until she saw the coffin.

Huanbi saw the smoke curling up from the stove and leaned over to Xiao Yunzi's ear to give him some advice for a while. Xiao Yunzi quickly went out, but came back a few moments later with a pair of red-hot tongs in his hand.

Huanbi took the fire tongs and walked towards Aunt Wu, "Now the evidence is irrefutable. If you don't speak up, these fire tongs will go into your mouth!"

Madam Wu lowered her head and thought for a moment, then trembled and said, "I have said it all, Your Majesty, can you protect my family?"

"That depends on whether you are telling the truth!"

Nanny Wu cried and told them that her son was seriously ill and needed money for treatment. Concubine Qi got the news from somewhere and gave her a large sum of money, asking her to cook shanglu with the wet nurse's food every day. If the wet nurse drank it and the princess drank the wet nurse's milk, they would be poisoned.

At first, Nanny Wu didn't dare to do this, but Concubine Qi said that if Nanny Wu didn't agree, she would ask the old Chinese doctor who had been treating her son to stop treating her son. She had no choice but to agree.

Concubine Qi told her that even if the matter was discovered, and Concubine Hui and the Emperor blamed her, the wet nurse would be the first to bear the brunt of the blame, and she would not be suspected, so she had to agree.

Based on Huanbi's understanding of the Queen in her previous life, she didn't believe that Concubine Qi could be so thoughtful. She leaned over and asked, "Are you sure it was Concubine Qi who ordered this, and there is no one else behind it?"

Madam Wu shook her head repeatedly, "I have only seen Concubine Qi and her maid, and no one else. I am telling the truth. Concubine Xi, Concubine Hui, please let me and my family go for the sake of my mother's helplessness!"

During this interval, Caiyue had already prepared the medicine and came in to feed the princess. Doctor Wen then gave her a few more injections and drew some blood from the princess's fingertips. Only then did the princess' crying gradually subside.

"Master Wen, how is the princess?"

Wen Shichu looked at the little person lying on the bed with heartache. She was also his biological daughter, and he felt extremely distressed.

"Fortunately, the medicine went through the nurse's body first, and by the time it reached the princess' body, the dosage was much lighter. The princess is fine, but she will have to suffer for the next few days."

After hearing this, Zhen Huan patted Mei Jiejie's shoulder and comforted her, "Sister, don't be sad. The imperial physician said that the princess will be well in a few days. The princess is still young. Sister, you should stay in the palace to accompany the princess more. This kind of thing must not happen again."
