"Your Majesty, it's time to take your medicine." The nanny who served Ruan Qing brought the medicine.

Xie Yunjiao deliberately stood in front of the nanny and stretched out her hand to draw a line across the surface of the bowl. She glanced at the silver needle in her hand and found that it did not turn black.

"What have you done to the Queen's medicine?" the old nanny shouted.

The old lady had a long and thin face, a straight nose, and a pair of sharp inverted triangle eyes. When she glared at Xie Yunjiao, her eyes were like knives.

If those little girls saw this, they would have been scared to tears.

But Xie Yunjiao was not a timid person. Facing the old nanny's anger, she just smiled calmly and said, "Don't be angry, old nanny. I'm just testing the poison for your queen. It's okay. You can give it to her."

Upon hearing this, Jing Kai couldn't help but look at Xie Yunjiao, his eyes full of confusion.

He always thought that there was something wrong with Ruan Qing's medicine, but Xie Yunjiao said it was not the medicine's problem. Could it be that Ruan Qing's health was really not as good as before and it had nothing to do with other people?

"You don't have to look like that," Xie Yunjiao paused and said, "Just because the medicine is fine doesn't mean the other things are fine too. Have someone get the dregs. I want them to be well."

Since Ruan Qing was unwilling to take her pulse, she could only try other methods.

Upon hearing this, Jing Kai immediately ordered Ruan Qing's maid to get the medicine residue, but Ruan Qing's maid did not move. Instead, she looked at Ruan Qing.

Under normal circumstances, the palace maid would have done as she was told, but Jing Kai had just angered Ruan Qing, who was already furious. She didn't dare act rashly, lest she angered Ruan Qing and suffer the consequences.

"Your Majesty, I'm just someone who has entrusted me with this. You wouldn't want to waste your nephew's kindness, would you?" Xie Yunjiao looked at Ruan Qing, "Besides, I'm not close to you. Even if I wanted to, I wouldn't have the chance. What are you afraid of?

Or are you running away because you're afraid that someone you trust is really out to harm you."

As soon as Xie Yunjiao finished speaking, Ruan Qing's expression changed.

Xie Yunjiao had really guessed what she was thinking. She was indeed afraid because the people around her were all people she trusted. If they harmed her, she would never be able to accept it.

"Prince Jing, our Queen treats you as her own child and loves you dearly, but you brought someone like this here to irritate her and make her feel uncomfortable. Do you really feel guilty about this?" The old nanny looked at Jing Kai unhappily and said.

Jing Kai also respected this old nanny very much because this old nanny was the wet nurse of Ruan Qing and his mother. She followed Ruan Qing to Baiyue for marriage and was like an elder in the family. She always considered Ruan Qing and her sister, gave them advice, and helped them a lot.

When Jing Kai's mother was alive, she often told him to respect the old nanny and treat her as a relative.

Now that the old lady scolded him like that, he naturally felt uncomfortable.

"Mammy, don't you know what kind of person I am? How could I want to harm my aunt?" Jing Kai said helplessly, "I just suspected someone was trying to harm my aunt. How could you misinterpret my filial piety?"

The old nanny looked at Jing Kai, moved her lips, but finally pursed her lips and remained silent.

Because she had no way to refute Jing Kai. If Jing Kai really did this because he cared about the queen, she really had no reason to stop him.

Because she and Jing Kai both don't want anything to happen to Ruan Qing.

So many years have passed, and she and Ruan Qing have long been like mother and daughter.

"Queen, there are so many of us here, so we are not afraid that she will harm us," said the old nanny.

Ruan Qing's heart had already been shaken by Xie Yunjiao's words, and now after hearing what the old nanny said, he agreed.

Soon, the dregs of the medicine that the queen usually drank were brought up. Xie Yunjiao accompanied her to get them, so it was impossible for those people to take advantage of the opportunity to do something bad.

Xie Yunjiao checked the medicinal residue and found a certain medicine in it, so she picked it out.

Jing Kai looked at the medicinal residue that Xie Yunjiao had picked out, and his expression darkened.

Ruan Qing, the old nanny and others who had been paying attention to Xie Yunjiao's movements also became nervous because of Xie Yunjiao's action.

"So, is there really something wrong with this medicine?" Jing Kai asked.

Not only Jing Kai, but also Ruan Qing and others were waiting for Xie Yunjiao's answer.

Xie Yunjiao looked through all the medicine residue before saying, "It's not that there's something wrong with this medicine, but there's a better medicine in this prescription that can replace it. It's more effective and more common.

But the person who prescribed the medicine prescribed this medicine, so something must be wrong when it is out of the ordinary."

Xie Yunjiao looked around and didn't find anything unusual for the time being, so she asked Ruan Qing what she liked to eat and whether she had the habit of lighting incense before sleeping.

In fact, when she first came in, she was sensitive to the faint fragrance in the bedroom, but after she had been there for a long time, she could no longer smell it.

The old nanny cooperated and answered all of Xie Yunjiao's questions.

When the old nanny ordered someone to bring the incense that Ruan Qing lit every night before going to bed, Xie Yunjiao immediately noticed something was wrong.

"Originally, there is no harm in using incense and medicine separately, but combining the two into one is very inappropriate," said Xie Yunjiao.

The old nanny said to Xie Yunjiao, "Nonsense, this incense was given to the Queen by Princess Yunqiao, how could there be any problem with it?

Could it be that you knew about this a long time ago and said this on purpose?"

Xie Yunjiao glanced at the old nanny indifferently, with a faint smile on the corner of her mouth.

"I'm not idle, why would I ask about such a small matter?" Xie Yunjiao suddenly took out a ball of white stuff from the medicine box. The old nanny took a closer look and was shocked.

"How dare you bring a beast in! If it hurts the queen, can you bear the consequences?"

"Of course I can't bear it," Xie Yunjiao replied, "but has it hurt anyone now? If not, please shut up."

"Xiaobai, eat something."

Xie Yunjiao asked Xiaobai to eat a mouthful of medicine residue.

Xiaobai had no other reaction after eating the medicine residue, and jumped around on Xie Yunjiao's body.

However, it was very smart, as if it realized there was danger somewhere else, so it did not jump to another place.

"What on earth are you playing at?" the old nanny said unhappily.

Xie Yunjiao replied, "Don't worry, the best is yet to come."

Ruan Qing guessed something and asked someone to light the incense.

At first Xiaobai was fine, but after a while it started to become impatient, running around everywhere, baring its teeth, and seemed to be in great pain.

"Xiaobai, it's okay, just drink some water and you'll be fine." Xie Yunjiao touched Xiaobai's head with heartache.

But Xiaobai was angry. He looked at Xie Yunjiao and refused to drink water.

It seemed to be saying that it was Xie Yunjiao who harmed it.

Xie Yunjiao said helplessly to Xiaobai, "Xiaobai, I didn't mean to do this. I'm not doing this to prove my innocence. When we get back, I'll give you something delicious as compensation. You can eat as much as you want. What do you say?"
