After Wang Jieyu gave the finished gold lock to Ye Qianqian.

Ye Qianqian held it tightly in her hand the whole time.

Thank you, Aunt Wang! These gold locks are so beautiful; I could never have too many!

"This little girl is quite greedy. I have a few gold bracelets over there. If you like, I'll have them all made into gold locks and give them to you."

Consort Jin said with a smile.

"Sister, you shouldn't spoil the little princess like that, or you'll spoil her rotten."

Wang Jieyu held Ye Qianqian in her arms.

He said softly.

"The little princess is still young and doesn't understand many things. It's not too late to properly educate her when she's older and more sensible."

"It won't turn into something like He Jing, which makes people feel disgusted."

"He Jing was released last night, and I heard she's been behaving very well ever since."

"However, old habits die hard, and I really don't believe He Jing has changed for the better."

"I'm afraid there's an even bigger conspiracy behind it."

Ye Qianqian used her magic to take a look.

No conspiracy has been discovered with He Jing at present.

Of course, Ye Qianqian wouldn't believe that He Jing had really changed for the better.

...

the next day.

He Jing brought over a bowl of millet porridge.

Of course, she did not enter the Chuxiu Palace.

Instead, he handed the porridge to the maid at the palace gate.

Caiyue was quickly brought inside.

"Your Highness, this is millet porridge sent by Princess Hejing!"

"She said this is a soup to help with lactation, and that if Consort Jin drinks it, she can breastfeed the little princess more."

The Empress Dowager was also in the Chuxiu Palace at this time.

After hearing this.

He frowned.

"Ruoqiu, tell her that Consort Jin is not feeling well and ask her to come and take a look."

"yes."

This is an opportunity to bring the imperial physician here.

Let's check if He Jing has put any poison in this millet porridge.

Physician Chang quickly entered Chuxiu Palace.

And this scene.

He Jing, who was hiding in the corner, caught it.

She gave a disdainful smile.

"As expected, Grandmother doesn't believe me!"

"Perfect opportunity, let's take this chance to let Grandmother see whether I have poisoned the millet porridge or not."

Physician Chang quickly made a diagnosis.

"Your Majesty, there is no poison in this millet porridge; it is a very healthy millet porridge."

The Empress Dowager was still worried.

"Never mind, since Hejing didn't come in anyway, let's just throw this millet porridge away."

"yes."

As a master of palace intrigue.

The Empress Dowager was not unfamiliar with such methods of currying favor.

once.

When the late emperor was alive.

At that time, she was still the Sea Princess.

After giving birth to Ye Ling.

Consort Chen, who also had a prince, harbored resentment and jealousy.

They tried every means to kill Ye Ling.

So that the position of crown prince would be in the hands of his own son.

then.

Consort Chen sent her some foods that helped with lactation every day.

At first, Haifei was also very wary.

They were terrified that the food had been poisoned.

The imperial physician examined her and found nothing wrong.

Consort Chen would certainly not be foolish enough to poison the food directly.

She added a poisonous plant—fig—to the bowl.

This herb comes from the Western Regions.

The juice turns yellow when heated.

And there was no unusual smell.

Eating it won't kill you.

It can also make people look healthy and radiant.

only.

A healthy complexion is just an appearance.

In reality, it will hollow you out, leaving you increasingly lacking in energy and spirit.

At the beginning.

The imperial physicians in the palace also failed to detect the problem.

Until a concubine from the Western Regions became her friend.

At first glance, I noticed that the millet porridge was unusually yellow.

To verify.

The concubines from the Western Regions used white celery, which is incompatible with celery, and added it to the millet porridge.

Sure enough, the color of the herb turned red.

This means they were poisoned.

The late emperor was furious when he found out.

Consort Chen was also banished to the Cold Palace.

The Empress Dowager was worried that He Jing would use the same method to frame Ye Qianqian.

But outside the palace.

The Empress Dowager secretly cultivated figs, anti-flower herbs, and detoxifying herbs.

The antidote herb can neutralize the toxicity of fig.

The Empress Dowager did this not to intentionally harm anyone.

Rather, it was to guard against the possibility that someone in the harem might harm people in this way.

Of course, we need to be on guard.

Ruoqiu quickly retrieved the knowledge about flowers and plants from outside the palace.

After adding it to the millet porridge.

There was no reaction.

The Empress Dowager, however, was not entirely at ease.

"In this palace, every move is sudden and unexpected!"

"We should still be more vigilant. If He Jing brings food over again in the future, we should continue to test for poison using this method. We must not be lax in our vigilance."

"yes!"

He Jing did indeed secretly prepare some foliage.

Her plan was to start by sending some millet porridge that was safe to eat.

After dispelling everyone's doubts.

They secretly started adding fig juice to the millet porridge.

Then, step by step, Ye Qianqian was slowly poisoned and died.

This move.

Lin Zhaoyi had told Hejing this before.

She originally intended to use this tactic against Xu Qingzhi.

But before he could even make a move, he was killed.

He Jing has now completely copied this tactic and is using it to deal with the little princess.

However, He Jing was unaware of this.

The Empress Dowager has already prepared countermeasures.

Meanwhile, He Jing began to hear that Consort Jin in Chuxiu Palace had started accepting the millet porridge that He Jing sent her.

very good.

This continued for a while, and then we started to take action!
