"Yes." The maid responded and turned to leave.

Lin Wanqing looked down at Su Qiaoer, a sneer on his face.

Su Qiaoer, I want to see what you are up to.

The doctor came soon and after taking Su Qiaoer's pulse, his face instantly darkened.

"Doctor, how is Aunt Su?" Lin Wanqing asked anxiously.

"Madam Su has been poisoned." The doctor said in a deep voice.

"What?" Lin Wanqing's eyes widened in shock. "Poisoned? How could he be poisoned?"

"This..." The doctor hesitated for a moment and said, "This poison is called oleander powder. It is a chronic poison. Taking a small amount will not be fatal, but will only make people weak. However, taking it for a long time can be fatal."

"Oleander powder?" Lin Wanqing frowned. "Does the doctor know the antidote for this poison?"

"I know." The doctor nodded. "Fortunately, Aunt Su didn't take much. She just needs to take the antidote and recuperate for a while."

"That's good." Lin Wanqing breathed a sigh of relief. "Then I'll trouble the doctor to prescribe an antidote."

"Yes." The doctor responded and turned to leave.

Lin Wanqing looked at his back with a sneer on her face.

Su Qiaoer, you planned everything, but you didn't expect that I would take advantage of your tricks, right?

She wanted to see how Su Qiaoer would explain this matter after she woke up.

The doctor quickly prescribed the antidote, and the maid boiled it and gave it to Su Qiaoer.

Not long after, Su Qiaoer woke up.

"Aunt Su, are you awake?" Lin Wanqing looked at her with a smile.

"Princess, what's wrong with me?" Su Qiaoer sat up with a confused look on her face and asked.

"Madam Su was poisoned." Lin Wanqing said.

"Poisoned?" Su Qiao'er widened her eyes in shock. "How could I be poisoned?"

"I don't know about that." Lin Wanqing spread his hands. "The doctor said you were poisoned by oleander powder, a chronic poison. A small amount won't be fatal, but long-term use can be life-threatening."

"Oleander powder?" Su Qiaoer's face turned pale instantly.

She never thought that she would be poisoned.

"Aunt Su, do you know who wants to harm you?" Lin Wanqing asked.

Su Qiaoer's body stiffened when she heard this.

How come she doesn't know who wants to harm her?

She poisoned herself!

"Mrs. Su?" Lin Wanqing frowned when she saw she was silent. "Could it be that Mrs. Su knows who is trying to harm you?"

"No, no." Su Qiao'er came back to her senses and quickly shook her head, "I don't know."

"That's strange," Lin Wanqing said. "Mrs. Su, you should think about it carefully. Oleander powder is not something you can easily get. Perhaps the person who harmed you has a grudge against you, right?"

Su Qiaoer's face turned even paler when she heard this.

She, how is she going to explain?

Are you going to say that she poisoned herself?

But if she said so, then she would not only harm Lin Wanqing, but also herself. Then the prince would definitely drive her out of the house!

No, she couldn't say that!

"Mrs. Su?" Lin Wanqing frowned when he saw her pale face and hesitant expression. "Mrs. Su, have you remembered anything?"

"No, no." Su Qiao'er came back to her senses and quickly shook her head, "I don't remember anything."

"Then Madam Su should think about it carefully," Lin Wanqing said. "After all, this concerns Madam Su's life."

After saying that, she turned and left.

Su Qiaoer looked at her back, feeling hatred and regret in her heart.

She never thought that she would fall victim to the poison she had poisoned herself!

Lin Wanqing returned to the room with a sneer on his face.

Su Qiaoer, do you think that the incident of your poisoning is over?

I'm just acting with you!

I want to see how you want to explain this!

She believed that it wouldn't be long before Su Qiaoer would reveal her true colors!

Sure enough, not long after, Su Qiaoer came.

"Princess, I remembered something." Su Qiaoer said hesitantly.

"Oh? What's the matter?" Lin Wanqing asked.

"My poisoning may be related to the maidservant beside me," Su Qiao'er said. "I remember that day I went to the kitchen to cook and asked the maidservant to watch over my room. But when I came back, the maidservant was gone, and there was an extra packet of oleander powder in my room."

"Is this really true?" Lin Wanqing frowned. "Where is that maid now?"

"I've already had her locked up," Su Qiao'er said, "Princess, do you want to go and see her?"

"Okay." Lin Wanqing nodded, "Lead the way."

Su Qiaoer was delighted when she heard this.

She originally thought that Lin Wanqing would not care about this matter, after all, she was just a concubine, but she did not expect Lin Wanqing to agree so readily.

But it’s better this way. When Lin Wanqing goes, she will have the opportunity to defend herself.

Thinking of this, she took Lin Wanqing to the room where the maid was imprisoned.

In the room, a maid was tied to a chair and her mouth was gagged.

"Princess, it's her." Su Qiaoer pointed at the maid and said.

Lin Wanqing glanced at the maid, then at Su Qiaoer, a sneer appearing on the corner of his mouth.

It's obvious that this maid is not a good person. She has shifty eyes and flickering gazes. You can tell at a glance that she is lying.

However, she wanted to see how Su Qiaoer would explain this matter.

"Are you the maidservant beside Aunt Su?" Lin Wanqing asked.

The maid shook her head frantically upon hearing this.

"You're not?" Lin Wanqing frowned, "Then who are you?"

"Princess, please spare me, please spare me." The maid cried out, "I am not a maidservant beside Concubine Su. I am a kitchen maid. Concubine Su asked me to do this."

"What?" Su Qiao'er's face turned pale instantly when she heard this. "You, you are talking nonsense!"

"I'm not talking nonsense," the maid cried. "Madam Su said she'd give me a hundred taels of silver if I put oleander powder in the princess's food. I was so foolish that I agreed."

"Aunt Su, do you have anything else to say?" Lin Wanqing looked at Su Qiaoer with a gloomy face.

"Princess, I didn't. I didn't ask her to do that." Su Qiaoer explained in a panic.

"With all the evidence, how else do you want to explain?" Lin Wanqing sneered, "Su Qiao'er, you're so bold! You actually dared to murder the princess!"

"Princess, I didn't do it. I really didn't do it." Su Qiao'er cried out, "Princess, please understand. This really has nothing to do with me. It was her who framed me."

"False accusation?" Lin Wanqing sneered, "I don't think you'll cry until you see the coffin!"

After she finished speaking, she waved her hand and had the maid taken away, and then brought Su Qiaoer up.

"Su Qiaoer, do you have anything else to say?" Lin Wanqing looked at Su Qiaoer with a terribly gloomy expression.

"Princess, I am innocent. I am really innocent." Su Qiaoer cried.
