Marrying Wife and Concubine Together: After Rebirth, I Remarried the Scumbag's Father on the Sp

She shook her head and refused: "I'm not afraid of her. No matter what tricks she uses, I will take them all!"

She paused and continued, "Queen Wang suggested that I show my good will to Xiao Ling. Only in this way can he completely put aside his hatred and not be provoked by Madam Ye!"

Zhan Yan understood her concerns and nodded: "Well, be more careful!"

The next day, the first thing Xiao Ling did after waking up was to inquire about the news of Zhan Yihou's mansion.

The young eunuch quickly reported, "Your Majesty, the Marquis's wife is concerned about your health and sent someone to bring you some red date cakes early this morning. She said she won't hold any grudge against the Chen family against you, so please rest assured!"

Looking at the exquisite pastries neatly arranged in the food box, Xiao Ling almost shed tears.

He thought Aunt Wan would be angry with him and then leave the capital with the children in anger.

Fortunately, he did not send troops, otherwise, everything would be irreversible.

He was very grateful to Queen Wang, so he ordered people to open the warehouse and send her some exquisite jewelry.

At this time, Madam Ye came in from outside with a food box: "Your Majesty, your aunt made you some ginseng soup, you need to nourish your body!"

Xiao Ling was not in the mood, he just wanted to eat red date cake.

He casually said, "Put it aside for now!"

Madam Ye looked at the red date cake in front of him in surprise: "Why didn't I see such a snack when I went to the imperial kitchen? Is this made just for you, the emperor?"

Xiao Ling frowned and said, "How could the imperial kitchen make such exquisite pastries? Aunt Wan sent them here. She's trying to show her goodwill to me, so I have to accept her favor!"

Madam Ye's eyes dimmed slightly, and she looked at the red date cake with a complicated expression.

Xiao Ling didn't shy away from anything. He stood up and walked towards the inner hall: "I'm going to wash my hands first. If you don't have anything else, please put down the food box and leave!"

Madam Ye quickly came up with a plan. She turned around and scolded the young eunuch who had stood still by her side: "What are you still standing there for? Go and serve the Emperor!"

"Yes!" The young eunuch hurriedly followed Xiao Ling.

In his haste, he forgot that there were people serving in the inner hall.

Seeing that there was no one else around, Madam Ye quickly took out a porcelain bottle from her sleeve. She sprinkled the medicine powder inside on the red date cake with a ferocious look.

She murmured softly, "Lin Yiwan, you can't escape this time!"

In just a moment, Xiao Ling walked out with his hands washed.

He asked in surprise: "Aunt, why are you still here?"

Madam Ye made up an excuse: "I wanted to ask if you have ever met Ye Qian. I miss him very much!"

Xiao Ling spoke in a daze, "Ye Qian has been studying very hard. He is very good. I believe he will definitely ace the exam and become a pillar of the imperial court in the future!"

Madam Ye also seemed relieved. "That's good. At least my efforts were not wasted!"

Xiao Ling didn't want to talk to her anymore, he wanted to enjoy the red date cake.

Mrs. Ye was tactful enough not to disturb them any further and she hurriedly took her leave.

Xiao Ling will definitely be poisoned soon, so she has to clear herself of suspicion.

Coincidentally, just as she left, Queen Wang came over with her maid.

Xiao Ling was in a good mood. He waved at her and said, "Queen, please come here quickly. This is the red date cake that Aunt Wan sent. Let's try it together!"

Queen Wang looked at the red date cake in surprise, but was attracted by another food box next to it.

She asked in confusion: "What's in here?"

Xiao Ling stretched out his hand and opened it: "It's the wild ginseng soup that my aunt sent me. I don't really want to drink it. I think it's too greasy!"

Queen Wang immediately became wary, but she couldn't say it out loud.

Ever since her health deteriorated so badly, she could no longer read fortunes or do divination.

She had no choice but to take the risk. She took the red bean cake in her hand and stuffed it directly into her mouth.

Her actions really scared Xiao Ling. He didn't expect that she would not even care about her eating manners.

He asked tentatively: "Queen, are you hungry?"

Queen Wang's pretty face puffed up. She chewed and answered, "Yes, I salivate at the sight of the red date cake. I have lost my dignity. Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"

Xiao Ling couldn't help but laugh: "There are so many, I won't fight with you for it, look at what you've done to yourself by choking yourself."

He reached out to pour her some tea, and just as he handed it to her, he suddenly noticed that her face turned pale.

She tried to hold back from vomiting, but she couldn't.

She quickly ran to the copper basin, bent over and vomited violently.

Xiao Ling was startled and shouted, "Someone, go get the doctor!"

At this time, Queen Wang was already feeling very unwell. She had such severe stomach pain that she could hardly speak.

The imperial physician rushed over and quickly took her pulse.

His face changed drastically after this diagnosis. He said in panic, "Your Majesty, the Empress has been poisoned by a blister beetle. The antidote must be prepared first. She will have to suffer!"

Xiao Ling urged impatiently: "Then go and match it quickly!"

After the imperial physician hurried away, Xiao Ling firmly grasped Queen Wang's cold fingers and asked, "How could she be poisoned out of nowhere? What did you eat this morning?"

Queen Wang frowned. She had never eaten anything except the red date cake.

But she also understood that the Marquis's wife would never harm her and the emperor.

She didn't dare to say it!

She stammered, "I don't know why I was suddenly poisoned. Your Majesty, don't worry. Hasn't the imperial physician already prepared the antidote? I will be safe and sound!"

Xiao Ling is not stupid and can see through her concealment.

He glared angrily at the maidservant beside Queen Wang and said, "Tell me, what did the Queen eat? If you conceal anything, I will have your head chopped off immediately!"

The maid was so frightened that she quickly knelt down and replied, "Your Majesty, please calm down. The Empress was worried about you, so she came here to visit you after washing up this morning without having any meal. She, she only ate the red date cake just now!"

Xiao Ling was immediately startled and broke out in a cold sweat. He murmured, "Is this the red date cake from Marquis Zhan Yi's residence? Did Aunt Wan send someone to deliver it? She, she wants to harm me?"

Queen Wang suddenly grasped his hand. "Your Majesty, no, the Marquis's wife would never resort to such dirty tricks. She treats you like her own son. How could she possibly poison you?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Madam Ye's voice came from outside: "Who else could it be but her? At this point, you yourself have been poisoned, are you still trying to speak for the culprit? What are your intentions?"

Matron Hu also chimed in, "Your Majesty, this matter must be thoroughly investigated. Let the imperial physician first come and test for poison to see if there is any poison in the red date cake!"

Xiao Ling nodded reluctantly, feeling inexplicably discouraged.

Could it be that Aunt Wan really wants him to die?

In that case, the throne of the Sheng Dynasty can be inherited by her younger brother Xiao Rui!

This is definitely a very beneficial thing for her.
