After the marriage, the abstinent prince turned me on

Xie Mishuang looked at Ouyang Jing's anxious expression because of the child's poisoning, and her heart inexplicably felt a little blocked.

Soon, Li Zhong brought over several kitchen servants.

Two old women, two maids, and four cooks.

One of the cooks was obviously shivering, his limbs were trembling slightly. It was obvious that he was responsible for the child's meals today.

Ouyang Jing glanced at the cook sharply, with the pressure of a superior.

The cook fell to his knees with a plop, his lips trembling with fear. "Your Highness, please forgive me. Miss An, please forgive me. I was the one who cooked today. I just followed the usual recipe. It's true. I don't know why the young master was poisoned..."

He explained incoherently, with cold sweat on his forehead.

An Zixin sobbed and said softly, "When I first arrived, I told the kitchen about the food that the child couldn't eat. Why did they do this on purpose..."

Ouyang Jing's face became even uglier. He was about to speak when he was stopped by Xie Mishuang.

"Tell me about the meals you cooked today." Xie Mishuang looked at the cook, his tone calm, yet filled with unquestionable authority.

The cook hurriedly tried his best to recall and told out the recipe he had made today in detail.

After listening to this, Xie Mishuang immediately found the reason.

Because some of these foods can easily make children feel unwell and cause symptoms similar to poisoning, but they are not true poisoning.

"You said you cooked according to the usual recipe, is that true?" Xie Mishuang looked at the chef with sharp eyes.

The cook was stunned for a moment and subconsciously looked at An Zixin, only to see that she was looking at him pitifully with a hint of warning in her eyes.

He immediately understood something and lowered his head quickly, "Yes, I dare not lie."

"You're lying!" A clear voice rang out, and a maid suddenly stood up, pointing at An Zixin and saying, "This is all the Crown Princess's choice. She told us to prepare these foods for the child, saying that even if they eat it, they won't kill them, but will only cause some discomfort. How dare we, as servants, disobey the Crown Princess' orders? Your Highness, please understand!"

Xie Mishuang looked at the maid kneeling on the ground, her eyebrows slightly furrowed.

This maid had delicate features, and her pair of almond-shaped eyes were particularly eye-catching. However, at this moment, her eyes were filled with panic, which ruined her original beauty.

For some reason, Xie Mishuang always felt that this face looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it.

"My Lady Crown Princess, if you have any complaints about me living in your house, you can just come to me. Why are you picking on a child?" An Zixin cried, her voice choking. "My poor child is only four years old."

She looked at the child lying on the bed and felt inexplicably pity for him.

It's his bad luck that he has such a mother at such a young age.

Xie Mishuang had learned something new. There really were women in the world who dared to gamble with their own children.

"You said that it was me who asked you to prepare those foods for the child?" Xie Mishuang looked at the maid, her tone calm, but with an invisible pressure.

"Yes, it was the Crown Princess who ordered this servant." The maid looked flustered, but she still insisted on this point.

"Then tell me specifically where, when, and who the witnesses are." Xie Mishuang asked slowly, but her eyes were as sharp as an eagle, as if he could see through all her disguises.

The maidservant was obviously panicked for a moment, but she remained calm and quickly gathered herself. She quickly stated a time and place, "Just three days ago in the afternoon, when Your Majesty was walking in the garden, I happened to meet You, and You instructed me..."

There was no flaw in the time and place she mentioned. It was indeed the place Xie Mishuang usually went.

"You're talking nonsense!" Ah Xi suddenly stood up and pointed at the maid, saying, "The Queen was studying medical books in her room at the time. This servant and Aya can both testify for the Queen!"

The maid seemed to have expected Ah Xi to say this and sneered, "You are all the Majesty's personal maids, so naturally you speak for her. Who knows if it's all in collusion?"

"Where is the witness?" Xie Mishuang ignored the maid's provocation and continued to ask.

The maid pointed at the trembling cook and said, "It's him! He can testify!"

Xie Mishuang sneered, "He is a suspect, but he cannot be considered a witness."

The maid was suddenly speechless and didn't know how to refute.

"Since you can't produce any witnesses, you are slandering me. Do you know what crime you will be charged with?" Xie Mishuang asked in a cold voice, with a sharp tone and unquestionable majesty.

An Zixin pretended not to be able to bear it and said, "That's enough. Why does the Crown Princess have to take a maidservant as the scapegoat? A maidservant also has a life."

She raised her head and looked at Ouyang Jing pitifully, "Your Highness, if the Queen really can't tolerate me and the child, we can just leave tomorrow."

Ouyang Jing never looked at An Zixin from beginning to end. His eyes were always on the small figure on the bed, his brows furrowed, his heart full of worry.

When he heard the imperial physician say that the child was poisoned, he was shocked and angry, but what was more important at the moment was the child's safety.

"Imperial Physician, now that the cause of the poisoning has been determined, is there any solution?" Ouyang Jing asked in a deep voice, with a barely perceptible tremor in his tone.

The old doctor stroked his beard and said slowly, "Of course, I will give you acupuncture right away."

"There's no need for acupuncture." Xie Mishuang suddenly spoke in a light tone.

Ouyang Jing and An Zixin both looked at her, not understanding what she was going to do next.

"Qinghe, go get the Seven-Star Grass." Xie Mishuang ordered.

Qing He was slightly stunned and hesitated, "Your Majesty, that Seven Star Grass was a gift from the Queen, it's extremely precious..."

"Go quickly." Xie Mishuang said in a slightly cold tone.

"Yes." Qinghe quickly lowered her head and turned to get the Seven Star Grass.

"Crown Princess, you want to..." An Zixin's eyes widened, pointing at Xie Mishuang, her voice trembling, "You still want to continue to harm my child in public? I absolutely will not allow it!"

She turned her head sharply and looked at the old doctor, "Doctor, please give me the acupuncture quickly!"

The old doctor looked at An Zixin, then at Xie Mishuang, and for a moment he didn't know what to do.

He looked at Ouyang Jing for help, hoping that he could come up with an idea.

Ouyang Jing frowned and asked in a deep voice, "Doctor, is there any risk in giving acupuncture to such a young child?"

"This..." The old doctor hesitated for a moment, then said truthfully, "Your Highness, acupuncture does have risks. It would be safer to use the method the Crown Princess suggested."

He paused and added, "This old minister can first determine the composition of the herbs before giving them to the young master. Miss An can rest assured."

An Zixin opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but it seemed like there was nothing to say.

She looked at Xie Mishuang warily, and then looked at Ouyang Jing aggrievedly.

However, Ouyang Jing never looked at her from beginning to end. His eyes were always on the small figure on the bed.
