Hongli nodded vigorously. Even if Jiang Ranli didn't say anything, he decided to come to play with her often in the future, because she could do many fun things, tell many interesting stories, and give him delicious food. The most important thing is that when his father saw her, his expression would become very gentle, not as cold and indifferent as before.
Yinzhen looked at Jiang Ranli and Hongli who were smiling at each other, a thought flashed across his indifferent eyes, and then he left with Hongli.
The team that was touring outside the Great Wall stopped to set up camp at sunset. Yinzhen also finished his shift and came back. After the two of them had dinner, they held hands and went for a walk nearby.
The weather was a little chilly in the evening, and the two of them sat cuddling on a slope, waiting for the arrival of the starry sky.
Just as the two were chatting and laughing, Chang Shun suddenly ran over from a distance.
"Master Jiu, Concubine Concubine, something happened."
"What happened?" Jiang Ranli was puzzled. They were on a tour outside the Great Wall and everything had been fine for the past few days. What could have happened?
"The Fourth Prince in the Fourth Master's house has been poisoned," Chang Shun explained hurriedly.
After hearing Chang Shun's words, Jiang Ranli didn't react for a moment, until Yinzhen whispered Hongli's name, she realized that Hongli was the fourth child, the fourth prince of Yinzhen.
However, the child was fine during the day, so how could he be poisoned? Moreover, if he was poisoned, why did Chang Shun look so anxious and worried?
"The Fourth Lady said that Prince Hongli was fine at first, but he was poisoned after eating the osmanthus candy given by you, the Commoner Lady," Chang Shun said tremblingly the reason for his anxiety.
Jiang Ranli was surprised to hear this. Did Hongli get poisoned by eating her sweet-scented osmanthus candy? What a joke! The sweet-scented osmanthus candy she made was very clean and hygienic, not to mention poison. Besides, Xiao Rouqiu, the twins, Hongzheng, and Minyan also ate it frequently, and no one was poisoned.
"Li'er, what's going on?" Yin'er didn't know what happened during the day, so he didn't know why Hongli ate the osmanthus candy given by Jiang Ranli.
Jiang Ranli explained quickly, and Yinzhen frowned as he listened.
The atmosphere was silent when Su Peisheng walked over from a distance. Seeing Yinzhen and Jiang Ranli, he first bowed to them, and then said, "Master Jiu, Concubine Jin, the Empress Dowager invites you over."
Jiang Ranli was a little flustered at this time. She felt distressed when she thought about the fair, tender and lovely Hongli being poisoned. At the same time, she was also puzzled about the reason for Hongli's poisoning and wondered if it was another conspiracy, because she was 100% sure that there was nothing wrong with the osmanthus candies.
She looked up at Yinzhen, who held her hand tightly to comfort her, and then said to Su Peisheng, "I understand."
Jiang Ranli followed Su Peisheng to the Queen Mother's tent. As soon as he entered, he felt the unusual atmosphere in the tent.
On the main seat, the Queen Mother sat there with a solemn expression. When she saw Jiang Ranli come in, her expression instantly became even more angry.
"An Jia, do you admit your guilt?" the Queen Mother said in a sharp voice with a stern face.
Jiang Ranli quickly knelt on the ground, but did not confess her guilt. Instead, she said, "Please tell me clearly, Your Majesty the Queen Mother. I don't know what crime I have committed."
Hearing her words, the empress dowager became even angrier, "Don't you know what crime you have committed? The fourth son's Hongli was poisoned and fell into a coma after eating the food you gave him, and you actually say you don't know what crime you have committed."
Even while kneeling, Jiang Ranli's body remained straight. She looked at the empress dowager intently and said in a clear voice, "I have not poisoned young prince Hongli. I hope Your Majesty will investigate this matter."
