Upon hearing what the King of the Underworld said, the guards immediately sprang into action!

They quickly sealed off the entire building, preventing anyone from entering or leaving!

He then sent people to patrol the surrounding area to see if anyone was hiding poison on their person.

Meanwhile, other people involved in the cooking competition have been isolated on the other side, and an investigation is underway.

As for the dishes that the little princess had eaten, they were all being inspected one by one.

After a while, the imperial physician suddenly raised his silver needles and shouted to the King of Mingyue Kingdom, "Your Majesty! This dish has tested positive for a toxin!"

Upon hearing the imperial physician's words, the King of Mingyue Kingdom immediately turned to look and saw that the dish the physician had just tested was indeed the hand-pulled mutton that Xu Yuehuai had prepared earlier!

If the little princess hadn't fainted at that moment, she probably would have suspected Xu Yuehuai if she saw that there was poison in the hand-pulled mutton he made!

Upon learning of this, the people of the nearby Mingyue Kingdom couldn't help but shout loudly.

"So it was people from the Great Zhou Kingdom who came to our Dark Moon Kingdom to harm our little princess!"

"Your Majesty, why haven't you arrested this person yet!"

"They even talk about bartering, but I think they're just sending people here to harm the people of our Dark Moon Kingdom!"

Those people immediately stared at Xu Yuehuai with bloodshot eyes, like ferocious wolves!

Xu Yuehuai has now become the target of public criticism and has no way to defend herself.

"Your Majesty, please believe me! I have absolutely no reason to harm the little princess!"

"If I wanted to harm the little princess, why would I wait until such a public moment, right there at the cooking competition, to deliberately poison her?"

"Someone is definitely trying to frame me! Your Majesty, the wise and mighty ruler, please don't fall for their scheme!"

The King of Mingyue Kingdom initially watched Xu Yuehuai coldly, but after hearing her finish speaking, he began to suspect the others.

Xu Yuehuai had many opportunities to get close to the little princess before, and she never poisoned her. How could she be so foolish as to deliberately poison the little princess at this time?

The King of Mingyue Kingdom was not a fool, and naturally he was able to analyze the whole story.

Although Xu Yuehuai seems to be the most suspicious, she is also the least suspicious person!

At this moment, the imperial physician holding the silver needles said to the King of Mingyue Kingdom, "Your Majesty, I have just examined the toxins on these silver needles, and I have found that the toxins on them are not the Seven-Day Intestinal-Piercing Powder at all!"

Upon hearing this, the people around paused for a moment, filled with doubt. Could it be that the little princess had been poisoned by two kinds of poison?

Then, everyone heard the imperial physician continue, "Although this toxin is not the Seven-Day Intestinal-Penetrating Powder, it can be transformed into the Seven-Day Intestinal-Penetrating Powder when combined with another toxin!"

"This method of poisoning is incredibly subtle and insidious! It would be extremely difficult for anyone to detect under normal circumstances!"

"If you ingest half of the toxins individually, there won't be much danger. But when the two toxins are combined, they become extremely poisonous!"

The "Seven-Day Intestinal-Penetrating Powder" will cause death if ingested for seven days!

The deaths were particularly gruesome! The people were already terrified just hearing the legends!

Unexpectedly, they encountered this insidious poison today, and it was their adorable little princess from the Dark Moon Kingdom who was poisoned!

After hearing what the imperial physician said, the king of Mingyue frowned.

If the little princess had already been poisoned by the other half of the toxin before she came to the cooking competition, where did the toxin come from?

The King of Mingyue Kingdom couldn't help but recall everything that had happened to the little princess recently, and pondered carefully who was more likely to be the murderer.

However, even after thinking about it for a long time, the King of Mingyue Kingdom still couldn't come up with this problem.

A short while later, the King of Mingyue Kingdom could only say to Xu Yuehuai beside him, "Then Princess Heyue will have to make do. Until you are cleared of suspicion, you can only come back to the palace with me."

If Xu Yuehuai were to return to the palace with the King of Mingyue this time, he would only be imprisoned.

Zhou Wan and Jiang Shichen looked at Xu Yuehuai with great concern, repeatedly shouting, "Your Majesty, it's an injustice! How could my mother possibly poison the little princess?"

"Grandma is such a good person, she would never harm the little princess!"

"Don't arrest Grandma! She's innocent!"

Besides, Xu Yuehuai protected the little princess before! Anyone could potentially harm the little princess, but Xu Yuehuai would never do so!

However, the people of the nearby Mingyue Kingdom did not believe it, and the King of Mingyue Kingdom could not stand on Xu Yuehuai's side.

Regardless of which side it's for, the King of Mingyue Kingdom has no choice but to take Xu Yuehuai back and imprison him for now.

Xu Yuehuai also fully understood the decision made by the King of Mingyue Kingdom. She did not think that she would be treated cruelly after returning to the palace with the King of Mingyue Kingdom.

She is confident that she can clear her name and save the little princess!

Because she had previously seen medicinal herbs resembling Tian Shan snow lotus in that man's medicine box!

If Xu Yuehuai were to seek that man's help, she might be able to obtain the Tianshan Snow Lotus!

At worst, Xu Yuehuai would just give her Tianxiang Tower title to that man! She would definitely get the Tianshan Snow Lotus in return!

After making her own preparations, Xu Yuehuai gave Zhou Wan and the others a reassuring look, and then said to the King of Mingyue Kingdom, "Okay, I'll go with you!"

“The innocent will remain innocent, and the guilty will remain guilty. I am innocent, so I have no fear of you taking me away.”

"When the truth comes out, I beg Your Majesty to clear my name!"

"And during this time, please do not harm the people around me!"

The King of Mingyue Kingdom greatly admired Xu Yuehuai's unwavering composure in the face of adversity, and was quite willing to agree to Xu Yuehuai's request.

"Fine, even if you really hurt the little princess, as long as the people around you are innocent, I won't do anything to them."

Xu Yuehuai felt relieved after hearing the promise from the King of Mingyue Kingdom.

As long as Zhou Wan and the others are safe, she doesn't care if she suffers a little pain.

She has a strong constitution and usually takes good care of herself. Now that she has suffered some injuries, she can get through it as long as she grits her teeth!

She nodded, and the King of Mingyue Kingdom gave a wink to the guards beside him, who were about to come and take Xu Yuehuai away to the palace for custody.

Since Xu Yuehuai was a princess of the Great Zhou Kingdom, she was not violently suppressed, but given the dignity she deserved, and was surrounded and led away.
