Lin Wanqing said, reaching out to pick up a piece of cake and handing it to Xia Yiyi: "Princess, please take a closer look. Is there anything mixed in this cake?"

Xia Yiyi looked at the pastries in front of her and felt nauseous.

Oleander pollen is poisonous!

If you eat it, the consequences will be unimaginable!

"You...you're talking nonsense! How could there be oleander pollen?" Xia Yiyi pretended to be calm and said angrily.

"Whether it's nonsense or not, let the cook come over and ask and we'll know." Lin Wanqing said lightly.

As soon as she finished speaking, a cook in green clothes came in hurriedly.

"Your servant greets the prince, princess, and princess!" The cook knelt on the ground, trembling.

"Look up and see who I am?" Lin Wanqing said.

Upon hearing this, the cook looked up at Lin Wanqing and was instantly frightened out of her wits.

"Princess, please spare my life! I didn't mean to harm the princess. Someone ordered me to do this!" The cook kowtowed and begged for mercy.

"Who ordered you to do that?" Lin Wanqing asked coldly.

"Yes... yes..." The cook pointed to the maid beside her.

Everyone looked in the direction the cook pointed and saw that the maid was pale and trembling all over.

"It wasn't me! I didn't order her to do that!" the maid screamed.

After she finished speaking, she turned around and tried to run away.

But before he could run a few steps, he was caught by the guards.

"Princess, save me! I was forced!" the maid shouted.

Xia Yiyi looked at the scene in front of her, her face full of anger and shock.

"You...you actually want to harm me!" she said gritting her teeth.

Lin Wanqing looked at Xia Yiyi's angry expression and sneered in his heart.

"Princess, you can't say such things! How could we harm you?" She said in surprise.

"Hmph! The evidence is all here, do you still want to quibble?" Xia Yiyi said coldly, pointing at the pastries on the ground and the cook kneeling on the ground.

Lin Wanqing looked at Xia Yiyi's angry expression and felt relieved.

She has been waiting for this day for a long time!

"Princess, we really didn't harm you! The oleander pollen in the pastry was put there by mistake by the cook. It has nothing to do with us!" The maid was escorted by the guards and cried.

"Put it there by mistake? Do you think I'm a three-year-old child? Can you put this kind of poison there by mistake?" Xia Yiyi said coldly.

After she finished speaking, she turned and looked at Lu Shengyuan: "Your Majesty, you must make the decision for me! They actually want to harm me!"

"Don't worry, Yiyi, I will definitely get to the bottom of this matter." Lu Shengyuan said in a deep voice.

His eyes swept over the cook and the maid, and a hint of murderous intent flashed in them.

Lin Wanqing looked at Lu Shengyuan's cold eyes and sneered in her heart.

She knew that this man would not let them go easily.

"Your Highness, please let me handle this matter." Lin Wanqing said.

"Okay, I'll leave it to you." Lu Shengyuan nodded.

He wanted to see how Lin Wanqing would handle this matter.

Lin Wanqing turned to look at the cook and the maid, and said coldly: "Do you two admit your guilt?"

"Princess, please spare me! I know I was wrong!" The cook and the maid kowtowed and begged for mercy.

"Do you admit your mistake? Do you know how toxic this oleander pollen is? If the princess eats it, the consequences will be unimaginable!" Lin Wanqing said coldly.

"I...I really don't know!" the cook cried.

"Don't know? Then where did this bag of oleander pollen come from?" Lin Wanqing took out a paper bag from his sleeve and threw it in front of the cook.

The cook looked at the paper bag on the ground and her face turned pale as paper in an instant.

"This is... this is..." She stammered and couldn't speak.

"You can't tell, right? Come, take them both away and interrogate them strictly!" Lin Wanqing said coldly.

"Yes!" the guard responded and dragged the cook and the maid out.

Xia Yiyi looked at Lin Wanqing's decisive and swift manner, and her heart was in a state of panic.

She didn't expect Lin Wanqing to handle the matter so decisively.

"Princess, this matter really has nothing to do with me! I was wronged!" The maid was dragged by the guards and shouted loudly.

"Whether it's a false accusation or not, we'll know after the interrogation." Lin Wanqing said lightly.

After she finished speaking, she turned and looked at Xia Yiyi: "Princess, I'm sorry for scaring you today. I will give you an explanation."

"Thank you, Princess." Xia Yiyi said gratefully.

Although she didn't like Lin Wanqing, Lin Wanqing did help her in this matter.

"We are all family, Princess, you are too polite." Lin Wanqing said with a smile.

After she finished speaking, she looked at Lu Shengyuan beside her and said, "Your Highness, leave this matter to me. I will definitely give you a satisfactory explanation."

"Okay, I believe you." Lu Shengyuan nodded.

He believed in Lin Wanqing's ability and believed that she would handle the matter well.

"Your Highness, I'll take my leave first." Lin Wanqing said with a bow.

"Well, go ahead." Lu Shengyuan waved his hand.

Lin Wanqing turned and left. Xia Yiyi looked at her back, a complicated look flashing in her eyes.

She didn't expect that Lin Wanqing could solve the matter so easily.

"Princess, are you okay?" Lu Shengyuan looked at Xia Yiyi and asked with concern.

"I'm fine, thank you for your concern, Your Highness." Xia Yiyi came back to her senses and said with a smile.

"I'm glad you're okay. Be careful next time and don't eat anything given to you by others." Lu Shengyuan warned.

"Yes, Your Highness." Xia Yiyi responded obediently.

After she finished speaking, she looked at the maidservants beside her and said, "How do you serve the princess? If something happens to the princess, can you bear the responsibility?"

"Your Highness, please spare my life! I know I was wrong!" The maid knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.

"Hmph! Drag them away and give each of them twenty lashes!" Lu Shengyuan said coldly.

After he finished speaking, he turned and left the yard.

Xia Yiyi looked at Lu Shengyuan's back, a trace of resentment flashed in her eyes.

She didn't expect that she would lose to that bitch Lin Wanqing!

"Lin Wanqing, I won't let it go like this! Just wait and see!" Xia Yiyi said gritting her teeth.

After she finished speaking, she turned and left the yard.

After Lin Wanqing dealt with this matter, he returned to his own yard.

"Princess, you are so amazing! You took care of the cook and the maid so quickly!" Chuntao said admiringly.

"This kind of small matter is easy for me." Lin Wanqing said lightly.

After she finished speaking, she sat in front of the bronze mirror and looked at herself in the mirror.

"Princess, you are so beautiful!" Chuntao looked at Lin Wanqing and exclaimed sincerely.

"Really?" Lin Wanqing chuckled.

Her appearance is indeed stunning, otherwise she would not have been chosen by Lu Shengyuan.

"Of course, the princess is the most beautiful woman I have ever seen!" Chuntao nodded heavily.

"You are just sweet-talking." Lin Wanqing chuckled.

As the master and servant were talking, there was suddenly a noise outside.

"What's going on?" Lin Wanqing frowned.

"I'll go and take a look." Chuntao said and walked out.

After a while, she hurried in: "Princess, it's bad! The prince brought a woman back!"

"What?" Lin Wanqing stood up in surprise.

She didn't expect Lu Shengyuan to bring another woman back!

"Who is that woman?" Lin Wanqing asked in a deep voice.

"I don't know either. I only know that the prince took that woman to the study." Chuntao said.

"Study?" Lin Wanqing frowned.

She knew that Lu Shengyuan's study was important and ordinary people were not allowed to enter.

But now, he actually brought a woman in!

"Let's go to the study." Lin Wanqing said, and walked out of the yard with Chuntao.

When Lin Wanqing arrived at the door of the study, he heard a woman's voice coming from inside.

She wanted to see who that woman was!
