It took her almost an hour to make the osmanthus cake. She brought it out and handed it to Yulan. Just as she was about to follow Jiang Fulai, she remembered something, scratched her head, and said, "Steward Jiang, I suddenly realized that I haven't dressed up properly yet, you..."
"Your Majesty," Chief Eunuch Jiang interrupted her with a smile, "His Majesty says he likes you best when you're without makeup."
These words made Qin Jingyi so happy she could hardly stop smiling. She didn't even notice the wink Yulan gave her. She straightened her clothes and followed Jiang Fulai.
Yulan had a feeling that something was wrong and tried to remind Qin Jingyi several times along the way, but Steward Jiang was right behind them, so she didn't dare to say anything.

Qin Jingyi glanced at it; the color was beautiful, and it had a faint fragrance of osmanthus. She had tasted it before, and it tasted the same as the ones she had made before.
Xiao Lanchuan's smile gradually faded. "You audacious concubine, how dare you poison me!"
Qin Jingyi was startled, her hand went limp, and the osmanthus cake she was holding fell to the ground.
She was very puzzled: "Your Majesty, I did not poison you."
"Is that so?" Xiao Lanchuan curled his lips, took out a bottle of white powder from his pocket, and poured it onto the osmanthus cake in front of Qin Jingyi. "Since there was no poison, then you taste it for me?"
