[The employer is the owner of the Tianxiang Restaurant, so the mastermind behind this is Liang Chaozong.]

[There is a 99.999% chance that it is Liang Chaozong.]

[Then, this conspiracy must be to cultivate those exotic crops in the garden.]

But what is the purpose of administering a slow poison?

Xia Miaoyuan thought of this again and got stuck again.

[Oh, what a headache.]

Emperor Mingxi and the Crown Prince listened quietly to Xia Miaoyuan's thoughts. For a moment, they felt very complicated, excited and uneasy.

After a long silence in the room, Emperor Mingxi said, "I give you twenty secret guards to keep a close eye on Liang Chaozong, but be careful not to alert the enemy."

The prince took the order and left.

…

On the other side, the imperial farm.

After receiving the reply from the Crown Prince, the Prince of Jin and his wife decided on their next course of action.

Yin Xizi continued to disguise herself as a servant and stayed in the main courtyard.

He secretly gave acupuncture and medicine to the Prince of Jin and his wife to continue detoxifying them.

Several days have passed since the poisoning was discovered. After Yin Xizi's treatment, the toxins in the bodies of Prince Jin and his wife have been almost eliminated, and their complexions have improved a lot.

Especially Princess Jin, she no longer had the previous symptoms of dizziness and chest tightness.

But in order not to arouse Aunt Xie's suspicion, the two of them asked their maid to apply a light layer of yellow powder on their faces every morning.

In this way, the two people's faces still look faintly yellow.

As for the three meals a day, the two of them could eat without worry. However, for each meal, the trusted maid brought out the main courtyard's rice bowls and gave them to eat.

At the cultivation garden, Prince Jin and his wife continued to inspect it regularly every day as usual.

Prince Jin supported the princess and walked slowly on the ridge of the field.

The princess's delicate hands gently held a tomato the size of a quail egg and said to Prince Jin, "Your Highness, look."

"At this rate, the tomatoes will be ready in another month."

The King of Jin chuckled, "Yes, the tomatoes, potatoes, and corn that we put so much effort into are all growing well."

"I never thought that these exotic seeds would grow so well even when planted in the Central Plains!"

"When these three are harvested, we will pick the best ones and personally bring them to the palace for His Majesty to see."

"By then, the emperor will surely be very pleased."

As Prince Jin spoke, his eyes lit up, as if he was already looking forward to being rewarded by Emperor Mingxi.

Princess Jin echoed, "When the time comes, we should promote these good things in the capital first, so that the people of the capital can have a taste of them first."

"At that time, it will definitely cause a sensation in the whole capital!"

The Prince of Jin and his wife chatted and laughed, and the atmosphere seemed very relaxed and happy. The haze that had been hanging over their heads for days suddenly faded a lot.

Outside the gate of the nursery, a fat old woman hid behind the gate, peeping greedily inside through the crack of the door, with the corners of her mouth grinning silently.

…

Late at night, Liang Mansion.

A man in black skillfully climbed over the wall, came to the main courtyard, and quietly jumped outside Liang Chaozong's bedroom.
