"That's right, Your Highness, you can call the embroiderer to ask. I definitely didn't lie!"

Su Qiaoer nodded repeatedly. She had lost her previous calmness and looked at Lu Shengyuan in panic.

"Xuan!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Shengyuan pondered for a moment and said in a deep voice.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The guard took the order and turned to leave.

After a while, several embroiderers were brought up.

"Greetings to the Prince, Princess, and Old Madam."

Several people knelt on the ground and greeted with a look of panic.

"Get up."

Lu Shengyuan glanced at them and said calmly, "I'm asking you, did Aunt Su give you the peach and bamboo powder to make her rouge?"

Upon hearing this, several embroiderers looked at each other and shook their heads.

"In reply to your Highness, we servants have never accepted any of Su Yi Niang's peach and bamboo powder."

One of the embroiderers said bravely.

"No?"

Lu Shengyuan raised his eyebrows when he heard this.

He looked at Su Qiaoer and saw that she was in a panic, with a hint of despair in her eyes.

"Your Majesty, I really gave the peach and bamboo powder to them!"

Seeing this, Su Qiaoer hurriedly said.

"Mrs. Su, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say anything you want. When did we ever accept your Jiataozhu powder?"

One of the embroiderers bravely retorted.

They don't want to take the blame!

"This……"

Su Qiaoer was speechless when she heard this.

"Long-term exposure to jasmine powder can damage a woman's fertility."

At this moment, the imperial physician suddenly spoke.

His words made everyone present change their expressions.

Lin Wanqing's eyes swirled. Could it be that someone was trying to kill two birds with one stone? Harming Su Qiao'er and framing him at the same time?

"Your Majesty, I am innocent. I know nothing..."

Su Qiaoer collapsed to the ground and started crying.

Lu Shengyuan looked at the crying Su Qiaoer and became more and more annoyed.

"That's enough! The king is not dead yet! Why are you crying?"

He growled, looking at the trembling maid beside him, "You are Madam Su's personal maid. Do you know where your master's peach and bamboo powder comes from?"

Upon hearing this, the maid shuddered and kowtowed repeatedly, "Your Majesty, please spare my life. This peach and bamboo powder is... this is what this servant gave to the master..."

"you!"

Upon hearing this, Su Qiaoer widened her eyes and looked at her in disbelief.

"This servant deserves to die. I shouldn't have framed my master just because I accepted money from others..."

The maid kowtowed continuously as she spoke.

"What good will it do you if you harm me?"

Seeing this, Su Qiaoer hurriedly said.

"I don't know either. That person said that if I could convince Madam Su that this Peach and Bamboo Powder could make her look more beautiful, she would give me one hundred taels..."

"And I saw that this peach and bamboo powder was not poisonous, so I... I listened to her and gave it to Aunt Su. I also told Aunt Su that this was a secret recipe passed down from my family..."

"This slave girl deserves to die!"

The maid knelt on the ground and kept begging for mercy.

"You're talking nonsense! You're talking nonsense!"

Su Qiaoer shouted frantically when she heard this.

"I'm not talking nonsense, and... and I saw that the peach and bamboo powder was taking too long to work on Madam Su, so... so I poisoned Madam Su's clothes..."

"Not only that, that person also said that if the princess came into contact with this peach and bamboo powder, she would probably not be able to conceive in the future, so... so this servant also added this peach and bamboo powder to the princess's daily diet..."

The maid became more and more frightened as she spoke, and finally she collapsed to the ground.

Upon hearing this, Lin Wanqing couldn't help but raise her eyebrows slightly. That person was quite thoughtful.

He wanted to harm her and Su Qiao'er as well...

If she had not studied medicine, even if she escaped this time, she would never be able to escape the clutches of this maid in the future.

When Lin Wanqing thought about how much he had eaten these days, he couldn't help but want to vomit blood.

Who on earth is this person who has such a huge hatred towards her that he actually wants her to have no descendants!!!

"Who is that person?"

Lin Wanqing stepped forward and asked coldly.

The maid kept shaking her head when she heard this. "I don't know... I don't know... Every time she met me, she wore a veil, and... and it was always at night, so I couldn't see her clearly..."

"I have said everything I need to say. I beg you, my lord, please spare my life..."

The maid kowtowed continuously as she spoke.

When Su Qiaoer heard this, she staggered and almost fell to the ground.

"Your Highness, I was framed. I am also a victim..."

"Your Highness, you must believe me. I really didn't know there was anything wrong with this peach and bamboo powder. Otherwise... otherwise, even if I had a hundred guts, I wouldn't dare to harm the princess..."

Su Qiaoer started crying as she spoke.

Lu Shengyuan ignored her and picked up the maid. "Since you didn't even ask who that person was when you took the money, there's no need for you to stay!"

"Someone, drag her away and beat her to death with clubs!"

Lu Shengyuan said coldly.

"Your Majesty, please spare my life, Your Majesty, please spare my life..."

The maid was dragged away, and her pleading voice was instantly heard in the yard, but... it was of no use.

Su Qiaoer looked at Lu Shengyuan's icy eyes and her body trembled uncontrollably.

"I don't know who Qiao'er has offended. She actually wants to frame me like this..."

"I treat you well on weekdays, why do you betray me?"

Su Qiaoer cried and pretended to faint.

Seeing this, the old lady couldn't help but sigh, "Don't worry about whether she was framed or not, Imperial Physician, please come and check her out quickly. Don't let it affect her future fertility..."

"Yes, old lady!"

The imperial physician hurried forward and took the pulse of Lin Wanqing and Su Qiaoer.

"Madam, the Princess and Aunt Su are fine. As long as they take the antidote and recuperate for a while, they will be fine. It won't affect their future childbearing!"

The imperial doctor spoke.

"That's good!"

The old lady breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this.

"I don't want what happened today to happen again! Otherwise, I will not let you off easily!"

Lu Shengyuan said this in a cold voice, then he took Lin Wanqing's hand and walked out.

"Since you have nothing to do, you can all go back and rest. Ming'er will stay here!"

The old lady glanced at Su Qiaoer and said in a somewhat cold tone.

Su Qiaoer looked at the old lady's back as she left without hesitation, gritting her teeth in hatred, but Lu Ming was still here, so she could only squeeze out a few tears and look at Lu Ming pitifully.

"I almost didn't get to see the prince. Not only did they not comfort me, they even suspected that I was the one who directed and acted in this drama..."

"Although I come from a poor background, I at least gave birth to a big fat boy for the Lu family. I didn't expect that in their hearts, I still have no status at all..."

Su Qiaoer said while crying.

Lu Ming felt distressed when he saw Su Qiaoer's tearful face.

"Don't cry, my beloved concubine. This prince doesn't disbelieve you. You are also a victim this time. Once this prince investigates the matter, I will definitely make the decision for you!"

Lu Ming quickly hugged Su Qiaoer in his arms and comforted her softly.

"Minglang...you are so nice..."

Su Qiaoer nestled in Lu Ming's arms and spoke with a touching look on her face, but a hint of hatred flashed in her eyes.

Lin Wanqing caused her to lose such an important person in the palace. She will definitely take revenge!

"My beloved concubine, I will take you back to the courtyard to rest!"

Lu Ming said gently.

"it is good!"

When Su Qiaoer heard this, a shy expression appeared on her face.

Lu Ming held Su Qiaoer in his arms and walked towards her yard, but there was a hint of thought in his eyes.
