[Mother! They wanted to harm us, but luckily Mother covered my mouth and nose, and the Crown Prince's guards showed up in time! ]
[But, Mother! They took my Fire Phoenix away! ]
[If they want to bully me, just come after me! What's the big deal about bullying my Fire Phoenix? ]
【Thankfully...】
Before Jun Baozhu could finish her thoughts, "Fortunately the Fire Phoenix can transform and enter my sea of consciousness," the Crown Prince and the Second Prince heard the news and rushed into the hall.
The Crown Prince and the Second Prince immediately stepped forward and asked the Queen and Concubine Li if anything was wrong. Their eyes all turned to Jun Baozhu in Concubine Li's arms.
Originally she thought nothing was wrong, but suddenly she saw the Crown Prince and the Second Prince. She felt as if they were divine generals. Jun Baozhu suddenly felt moved, and her big round eyes became moist in an instant.
[Crown Prince, Second Prince Brother...]
【Wow...】
Baozhu was crying, but the Crown Prince and the Second Prince couldn't stand it, and all their anger spread out, and the Crown Prince and the Second Prince spoke at the same time.
“Surround them!”
As soon as the voice fell, the Queen Mother came out from the inner room and asked, "Prince, Second Brother, what are you going to do?"
The Queen stood in front of the Crown Prince and the Second Prince, and responded calmly, "Mother, Heng'er and the Second Prince, when we heard Baozhu crying, we were worried that Baozhu was frightened by some evil spirit, so we sent people to resist..."
The Queen Mother was intimidating without even getting angry. Her eyes met with the Queen's. Suddenly, the palace was ablaze with fire.
The system in the sea of consciousness commented on Jun Baozhu. What the queen said just now...
When Jun Baozhu heard this, her eyes suddenly brightened and her voice became noticeably cheerful.
[Oh! So this is what the Queen Mother meant! ]
[The person who scolds and scares me is a demon! ]
【Anyone who dares to take the same position as me is guilty! 】
[Haha! The Queen Mother is so awesome! ]
[Swearing without using any dirty words, so cool! ]
The parties involved were all standing, and after Jun Baozhu's translation, the atmosphere wouldn't get any worse because the bottom had already been reached.
"If everything is alright, mother, I will take Heng'er, Lao Er and Baozhu back home. Baozhu is frightened and needs to be examined by the imperial physician.
Also, if the Queen Mother has had enough of playing with Baozhu's phoenix, please have someone send it back."
After saying this, the Queen and her entourage left.
The guards who showed up were unable to defend themselves.
What phoenix? How to send it back? They didn’t even catch a hair of the phoenix!
The Queen Mother's face was frighteningly gloomy. She looked in the direction they left and slowly revealed a meaningful smile.
Why should she bother with a dying man!
Back at Kunning Palace, the Crown Prince and the Second Prince were extremely worried.
The Queen and Concubine Li reviewed the information about their respective experiences.
"So, the purpose of separating Queen Mother and Imperial Concubine Li was to poison Queen Mother and steal the phoenix?"
The second prince asked.
The prince looked worried. Although he knew his mother could handle it, he still asked to confirm, "Mother, you didn't touch the cakes and water, did you?"
The Queen took something out of her sleeve, which was the cake that the Queen Mother thought she had eaten.
The prince walked to the palace gate himself and said, "Come here! Bring us a live bird."
A live chicken from the kitchen was soon brought in.
Because Jun Baozhu was there, the palace maids didn't dare to come in. The second prince came forward, personally holding the live chicken by its wings, holding down its legs, and presenting it to the empress and Concubine Li.
The prince wanted to take the cake, but the queen didn't let him and threw it to the ground herself.
The second prince understood and lowered the chicken's head. Sure enough, the live chicken pecked at the pastries. After a while, it had pecked the pastries until only a few crumbs were left.
The prince stood up, took the clean water from outside the hall himself, and asked the palace servant to fetch it for the queen to wash her hands.
The chicken that had eaten the pastries was tied up by the second prince with a rope and tied to the leg of a stool.
The second prince personally cleaned up the pastry crumbs on the ground to prevent them from being taken advantage of by anyone with ulterior motives.
Jun Baozhu opened her curious eyes and watched all this. The system explained it to her in her sea of consciousness.
After a while, the tied chicken seemed a little abnormal and twitched all over. Half an hour later, it was untied as if nothing had happened and moved around as usual.
Just as the Second Prince was about to step forward, he was dissuaded by the Crown Prince beside him, "Second brother, wait a minute. Once the eggs are inside, they may not take effect immediately.
Lest we waste the opportunity to prove ourselves.”
The second prince nodded, put the rope around the chicken's feet again, and asked the guards to take it away and keep good care of it.
Jun Baozhu's eyes followed the movement of the roped chicken, and she couldn't help wondering:
[The Queen Mother suspected that insect eggs were added to the pastries? ]
[If so, does that mean that the Queen Mother not only knows about it, but is also Gui Mama's accomplice, or even the mastermind behind it? ]
[But, the Queen Mother is clearly from Dafeng! She is my father's biological mother. How could she be so poisonous as a poisonous insect? ]
[Even if the Nan Chi people taught her, wouldn't they let her go? After all, she is the biological mother of the Da Feng Emperor...]
The little head is filled with great curiosity, but I just can't figure it out.
The Queen and the Crown Prince looked at each other, and the Queen reminded, "Heng'er, the Queen Mother's temperament changed since the year she brought Nanny Gui back..."
The prince understood and stood up, "I understand, I will go check it out now."
Looking at the prince's hurriedly leaving back, the queen wanted to remind him something, but then she curled her lips, withdrew her gaze with relief, and looked at the second prince.
