The delicate little cabbage was pushed by the old emperor

It turned out that it was Emperor Yong'an who rushed over. He looked at the tense atmosphere in the room and was a little confused.

Shangguan Yueyin told him the miracle doctor's diagnosis and what she had just thought of.

Emperor Yong'an frowned after hearing this. "I have ordered people to assist you in investigating this matter. I believe the truth will soon be revealed."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"I'm your cousin, why are you being so polite to me?"

Shangguan Yueyin anxiously took people to capture the two suspicious maids. One was Xiaoxiang, who usually made medicine for Madam Shangguan, and the other was Hongye, who was in charge of meals in the small kitchen.

The miracle doctor began to give Madam Shangguan acupuncture again to clear her meridians and help detoxify.

Upon seeing this, Emperor Yong'an pulled Shen Leyan into the next room, hugged her and rubbed her forehead, "It's been a few days since we last met, Yan'er, have you missed me?"

Shen Leyan nodded shyly, then buried her head in his shoulder, "Why did the emperor come here suddenly?"

"Are you asking me why I suddenly came to Shangguan Mansion or why I suddenly came here?"

"I want to know everything." Shen Leyan rubbed her head against his neck and said coquettishly.

Emperor Yong'an was pleased by her actions. He patted her head and said lovingly, "I came to the Shangguan Mansion for something. It just so happened that the Empress Dowager asked me to come over yesterday to see how my cousin is doing."

"But the most important thing is that I knew you were coming today, so I wanted to come and see you. I missed Yan'er very much."

"Now I can finally understand the feeling of missing someone so much. I've never been so worried about anyone before."

"Your Majesty, I now understand the meaning of 'A man should be looked at with new eyes after three days of absence.'"

"Ok?"

"Where is the previously taciturn emperor?"

"When have I ever been silent?"

"Your Majesty has never said such cheesy love words to a subject before."

"Yan'er has learned to tease me now. I can't argue with you."

Shen Leyan said with some pride: "Then the emperor needs to practice more."

Then she whispered close to his ear, "Talk more about it next time. I like to hear it."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Yong'an pulled her into his arms and kissed her.

This kiss was not as deep as the last time, but just a light kiss. He seemed to be trying the taste of her lips, like delicate peach blossoms spreading and blooming on his lips.

He stood up, licked his lips, and chuckled softly, "Okay, I'll tell Yan'er about this every day in the future."

After saying that, he gently kissed Shen Leyan's forehead and asked, "Yan'er, are you using lip balm made from peach blossoms today?"

Shen Leyan nodded and said, "I have already made the lip balm made from roses. Once Sister Shangguan is done with her business, I will go to the palace to see the Empress Dowager."

"I'll wait for you in the palace. I'll ask Baoshun to pick you up then."

Shen Leyan immediately refused and asked Eunuch Baoshun to pick her up? Why did it feel like she was going to the palace to see the emperor? Didn’t she just say she wanted to see the Empress Dowager?

At this moment, Baoshun happened to pass on a message outside the door, "Your Majesty, Miss Shangguan and the others are back."

Shangguan Yueyin was a little surprised to see Le Yan and the emperor coming out of the room together, but she didn't ask much. She didn't have time to gossip about them at the moment.

Pointing at the two people tied up below, he said, "These two maids are the most suspicious. The one on the left is Xiaoxiang, who is responsible for making medicine for my mother, and the one on the right is Hongye, who is in charge of the kitchen's meals."

Shen Leyan looked on with some confusion and asked, "Auntie, are all the meals prepared separately?"

Shangguan Yueyin nodded. "The imperial physician said that A'niang's diet should be light, low in oil and salt, so we set up a small kitchen specifically to prepare her meals and also to make her medicinal porridge."

"Have you sent anyone to search her place?"

"We searched her, but found nothing on her body or in her residence."

"What about the kitchenette?"

Shangguan Yueyin shook her head. "The kitchen wasn't searched. There are so many people there, she wouldn't have hidden the poison there, would she?"

Shen Leyan said with certainty: "Sometimes the most dangerous place is the safest place. Sister Shangguan might as well send someone to take a look."

"Okay, I'll listen to you. I'll send someone to the kitchen to check."

"Why does Sister Le Yan look so sure that Hongye did it?"

"When Sister Shangguan brought them back just now, she argued that she didn't do it. She seemed to know why we kidnapped her."

"Xiaoxiang on the side should have a normal reaction. I don't know what she did."

"Even if she wanted to explain, she should have said that she didn't do anything or did something wrong. Hongye's tone just happened to reveal that it was her who did it."

Shangguan Yueyin suddenly realized, "Sister Le Yan is truly intelligent and observant."

Shen Leyan smiled and shook her head, saying, "Onlookers see things more clearly. Sister Shangguan was just too anxious to observe these details."

As they were talking, the maids who went to search the kitchen brought back a packet of poison, and Hongye's face became paler and paler.

At this moment, looking at the packet of poison in their hands, Hongye couldn't even shout out an explanation. The facts were right in front of her, and she had just been exposed by Shen Leyan, so she simply stopped quibbling.

Not only Shangguan Yueyin, but even Emperor Yong'an was a little surprised when they heard this. They didn't expect that the poisoner was found so quickly without any torture.

In the end, Hongye admitted that she was instructed by someone to put a chronic poison in Madam Shangguan's medicinal food.

"Who ordered you to do this?" Emperor Yong'an asked with a gloomy face.

But Hongye was very stubborn and refused to speak, with an attitude of wanting to die written on her face.

Seeing Hongye was so stubborn, Emperor Yong'an became furious and ordered him to be tortured.

However, despite being tortured, Hongye still gritted her teeth and refused to reveal the identity of the mastermind behind the scenes.

Everyone present looked solemn, knowing that something was fishy going on. Emperor Yong'an and Shen Leyan exchanged glances and decided to investigate from other angles.

Just when the situation reached a stalemate, Shen Leyan said, "Sister Shangguan, please take this packet of poison to the doctor first and see if he can develop a new antidote."

After seeing Sister Shangguan leave, Shen Leyan quietly told Emperor Yong'an about the person she suspected, then walked over to Hongye and said, "You're so fearless, but I wonder what your family will think if they find out you poisoned someone."

"If you tell us the truth, if you were wrongly accused or threatened, the Emperor will stand up for you and even give you a lighter sentence if you make meritorious contributions."

"Otherwise, even if you don't tell us, we can still find out the truth in the end, but you won't have the opportunity to redeem yourself for your crime."

Seeing Hongye's expression change, as if she was hesitating about something, Shen Leyan continued to exaggerate, "Think about it, is it worth it to risk your life doing this for the person behind the scenes? Maybe she won't keep her promise to you, and may even kill you to silence you after the deed is done?"

"Impossible, she promised me, she can't lie to me." Hongye said excitedly.
