My eunuch An is a yandere
Chapter 55 The truth is revealed
The ladies who attend the royal kindergarten are all trained by aristocratic families and are expected to be able to stand on their own and become wives of the royal family in the future.
Few of them are naive.
Bai Ningwei quickly controlled the rubella incident today, and none of her precious children were actually harmed.
After calming down, the noble ladies naturally realized that someone had set up a trap for Concubine De today.
It's just that their children have been wronged, but they are angry but can't vent it.
Such a rare parent-child memory was ruined at the end by someone. Everyone's expression turned cold and they wanted to leave.
However, Empress Dowager Feng was obviously not very clear-headed. After seeing that the eldest grandsons of the cabinet ministers and the minister were all fine, she felt relieved and called the imperial physician to establish her authority.
"Imperial Physician, Imperial Physician, please explain to me what's going on with this rash today? This healthy child deserves no injustice this time. Someone has to give me an explanation, right?"
Although Empress Dowager Feng was speaking to the imperial physician, her eyes were fixed on Bai Ningwei. Her meaning was clear: today, the Bai family must be held accountable for the rubella incident.
The imperial physician felt overwhelmed. It was really like a fight between gods and mortals suffering. He was also unlucky as to how he got involved in the fight in the harem.
"Your Majesty, I have carefully examined the young men and women and it seems they have come into contact with something. Because children's skin isn't as thick as adults', this has caused the redness, swelling, and itching. Of course, it varies from person to person, and not every child has rubella. As for the cause of rubella, I have limited knowledge. I only faintly smelled a strange sweet fragrance, probably some kind of fruit, but I don't know what it is."
Feng Chongyuan seemed to have thought of something and held up the unused certificate with a suggestive look.
"Is it a certificate? Your Majesty, this certificate has a fragrant smell, and this is the first time I have smelled it."
Wang Xi took the certificate handed to Xiao Duo and looked through it carefully. There was indeed a faint fragrance, a bit like fruit, but he was not sure. After all, he had never smelled it before.
"Empress Defei, you prepared the certificate. Could you please explain the fragrance?"
Feng Chongyuan followed beside Empress Dowager Feng and was also at the top of the table. She held up the award certificate and questioned Bai Ningwei who was at the bottom, as if she was the judge trying the case and Bai Ningwei was the prisoner with solid evidence.
Feng Chongyuan's words made the ladies quickly snatch the certificates from the children's hands and put them close to their noses to smell them carefully.
They had just firmly believed that Feng Chongyuan was behind today's incident. Now they looked at Bai Ningwei uncertainly, hoping she could answer this question.
Bai Ningwei was not bothered by the change in these people's attitudes. She just randomly picked a few certificates from these ladies and fanned them under her nose.
The unique fragrance of mango entered her nose, making her almost drool.
Didn't she expect that Dazhenchao would have mangoes to eat right now? Why didn't she know anything about it?
If she had known earlier, she would have used it to make mango yogurt, mango smoothie, and mango snow meringue...
Bai Ningwei hooked her index finger slightly, wiped away the non-existent saliva, and returned to the topic.
Mango is a tropical fruit. In ancient times, transportation was not well developed and most people had never seen it in their lives. It was normal to have allergies after eating it.
But she couldn't say this. If she did, it would mean that she recognized the thing, and then it would really be her doing, which would be quite resentful.
"I prepared the certificate of merit, and after obtaining the Queen Mother's golden seal, I am keeping it for safekeeping."
At first glance, it sounded like an admission, but Bai Ningwei changed the subject.
"But I didn't put that fragrance there. If that fragrance is the wind pathogen that causes rubella, then Feng Chongyuan, why can't it be you who contracted that wind pathogen and accidentally stained the award certificate, causing this disturbance?"
After Bai Ningwei finished speaking, she noticed Feng Chongyuan subconsciously trying to hide her hands. She was standing at the head of the table, so the action was clearly visible to everyone below. Everyone was baffled, but because she was Empress Dowager Feng's niece and His Majesty was present, no one went up to spit at her.
Empress Dowager Feng was unaware of the situation and still wanted to protect Feng Chongyuan.
"Bai, what are you talking about? Feng Chongyuan was kind enough to accompany me to the sports meet today. Even if she didn't make any contributions, she still worked hard. How come you're saying she's a sinister person with ulterior motives?"
Bai Ningwei smiled and said nothing. After all, everyone knew the truth. The emperor would not put the blame on her for the Feng family because the Feng family was not worthy.
Sure enough, Xiao Duo was about to stand up and scold Feng Chongyuan for being clumsy and not paying attention to personal hygiene, and to make the matter a trivial matter, but he was stopped by another voice.
"This princess can prove that this evil wind was brought by Feng Chongyuan."
Xiao Yuan'er suddenly appeared at this time, saluted Xiao Duo and Queen Mother Feng, and continued to speak.
"Now, I am in charge of all six palaces, and all expenses of the Royal Kindergarten are also under my management. If this rubella outbreak is caused by Concubine Hui's mismanagement, then I cannot escape blame."
"Since you can't manage it, just hand over the power of the palace. There are people in the harem, so there is no need for you to interfere."
Empress Dowager Feng disliked Empress Xiaoyuan, and she disliked her children too.
"Grandmother, please don't be impatient. I'm going to get to the important part. A while ago, a foreign country sent me a batch of fruit I've never seen before. The messenger said it was sweet and refreshing, so out of curiosity I cut a piece and ate it. The fruit is indeed delicious, with a unique aroma, but after eating it, my mouth and tongue became red and swollen, and it itched. I asked the hospital doctor to see me, and he said my symptoms are caused by wind-induced urticaria."
"Knowing that not everyone can eat this fruit, I did not distribute it to the various palaces. However, the fruit was a tribute that the envoys had kept refrigerated on ice. Throwing it away would be disheartening, so I included the fruit in the tribute and presented it to the Buddha as a token of my gratitude."
Xiao Yuan'er finished speaking, and Xiao Duo nodded in agreement. Ice isn't cheap, and throwing away such precious fruit would seem excessive. This arrangement is just right.
After getting the approval of her father, Xiao Yuan'er said to Empress Dowager Feng.
"These past few days, this fruit has been offered as an offering in the Imperial Grandmother's small Buddhist shrine. My grandson has instructed me to tell the palace maids who clean the shrine that this fruit is not to be eaten and is only to be used as a fragrant fruit."
The offerings to the bodhisattvas in the palace were changed daily. Even the maids were forbidden to eat the used offerings; this was palace rule. But rules are static, people are dynamic.
The lives of the palace servants were not as glamorous as one might imagine. Some of them could barely even fill their stomachs. So, as long as no one was caught, everyone turned a blind eye to what happened to the tributes that were taken away.
However, the palace maids also knew that they were not qualified to see a doctor, so if they were reminded of what they could not eat, they would naturally not eat it easily.
Having said that, the truth is obvious.
The imperial physician said it was an unfamiliar fruit, while the princess said it was tribute fruit. In addition, Feng Chongyuan went to Empress Dowager Feng's Kunning Palace every day.
She must have heard that Gongguo cannot be eaten and can cause rubella, so she did this today.
