"The box you ate is fine, but the one given to the Ninth Prince was poisoned! Your Majesty, you must avenge the Ninth Prince!"

Consort Mei seized the opportunity to cry.

Jiang Chuwei asked, "Your Majesty, are you really not going to take a look at the Ninth Prince?"

Even though the imperial physician was watching over the child, Jiang Chuwei wasn't entirely at ease with him, despite the fact that his medicine was very effective at detoxifying.

There's always a chance of something going wrong. If anything happens to the child, not only will Consort Liang be implicated, but Jiang Chuwei will be too.

As a doctor, Jiang Chuwei did not want anything to happen to the child.

But Consort Mei was less worried than she, an outsider; the emperor seemed blind to such an obvious flaw.

Or perhaps the emperor was selectively turning a blind eye.

Consort Mei then went to the inner room to check on her son, and Jiang Chuwei followed her in to take his pulse.

She finally breathed a sigh of relief.

As soon as the Emperor arrived, Consort Mei ordered someone to take the child inside.

This is clearly a case of having a guilty conscience.

The emperor glanced at Consort Mei, then at Jiang Chuwei.

At that moment, he didn't know if something had touched him.

At least they didn't stop Jiang Chuwei from asking any more questions.

"Your Highness, Consort Liang! Why did you think of making pastries for the Ninth Prince?"

"It was this servant. This servant overheard the palace maids at Plum Blossom Palace saying that the Ninth Prince had a poor appetite. He really enjoyed the pastries made by Consort Liang last time and didn't know if he should ask for some more. This servant overheard this and naturally told our Lady. Our Lady immediately had someone prepare the ingredients, and this servant delivered them to Plum Blossom Palace as soon as they were ready."

Yu'er hurriedly defended Consort Liang, "Your Majesty! Her Highness is a good person. She wouldn't even dare to step on an ant, how could she harm anyone? We beg Your Majesty to investigate thoroughly!"

Seeing that the Emperor was slightly moved, Consort Mei's gaze towards Consort Liang softened considerably.

Consort Mei cried even more bitterly. She hugged the emperor's leg and said, "Your Majesty, I have no grudge against Consort Liang. Why would she poison our child?"

Consort Mei deliberately emphasized the words "our children".

Sure enough, the emperor's expression quickly turned cold again.

Consort Mei sobbed, while Consort Liang looked blankly at her.

"Consort Liang! Do you have anything else to say?"
