Yu Jin had received news of this development in Prince Qi's Palace early in the morning.

"So, King Qi was planning to take action last night?"

Leng Ying nodded in agreement.

When the Princess of Qi was imprisoned, Yu Jin and Jiang Si expected that the King of Qi would take action against her one day.

The way to keep the person the enemy wants to get rid of is to attack the enemy. Yu Jin made a prompt decision and sent people to lurk and keep an eye on Prince Qi's Mansion, and Leng Ying was the person in charge.

"Keep watching, especially during the day."

Yu Jin turned around and told Jiang Si about this: "Our people took advantage of Sister Yuan'er's half-sleep to wake her up in her ear. Sister Yuan thought it was a nightmare and ran to accompany Princess Qi for a night. Prince Qi failed to succeed... I guess he will choose to make a move in broad daylight..."

Jiang Si sighed: "After all, children are the most pitiful."

Yu Jin smiled coldly: "There is nothing we can do about it. Who made her run into such a pair of parents? If Princess Qi hadn't harmed you, how could she have ended up like this?"

Would he be soft-hearted and let the fourth child go just because of a little girl? Of course not.

If he fails, his wife and daughter will be the ones who suffer.

Although Jiang Si felt sorry for Sister Yuan, he did not show excessive sympathy. Instead, he smiled and said, "If we had intervened, Sister Yuan might not have lost her mother."

Yu Jin shook his head: "We brought down her father. Even if we saved her mother, she will hate us when she grows up and knows the difference between the eldest daughter of a prince and an ordinary girl. In short, we only do what we should do. As for the fate of those who depend on the fourth brother, that is the fourth brother's concern."

Having said this, Yu Jin glanced out the window.

The sun was shining brightly, and the big dog was playing with the pretty baby girl.

Competition is always cruel. If he loses, how strong can Ah Huan be?

Therefore, he must not lose!

Everything seemed normal at Prince Qi's Mansion, and there wasn't much discussion because the eldest daughter, Yuan Jie'er, went to Princess Qi's place at night.

In the end, it was just the little girl being willful once.

After careful consideration, the King of Qi decided that it would be better to take action today than to choose another day, so he set the time for his next move to be during the day.

Yuan Jie'er went to Li's place to spend a night because she dreamed of her mother. He simply took advantage of his daughter's dream. When Li "died of illness", it could be attributed to the foreshadowing of fate, so Yuan Jie'er was able to accompany her mother for the last night.

This way, no one would be surprised by Li's sudden departure.

The sunlight grew brighter and brighter, and it was almost noon.

It was still the ordinary-looking maid who delivered the meal to the most remote courtyard of the palace.

When she found the small porcelain bottle and a pair of gold rings at the bottom, the old woman no longer had the surprise and nervousness she had the first time. Instead, she skillfully put away one of the gold rings and gave the other one to her maid Xiaohong.

As for the two hundred taels of silver received last night, Xiaohong naturally had nothing to do with it.

Giving a gold ring is enough to do justice to that girl, and she will be the one who does the hard work when things get done.

Xiaohong clutched the gold ring and her face turned pale: "Mother Wang, I——"

The old woman slapped Xiao Hong and cursed in a low voice, "Put away your unpresentable look and remember to help later."

Xiaohong nodded in panic, wanting to cry but not daring to.

Last night, because the eldest girl's maid stayed overnight, she vacated her room and slept with Mother Wang.

At night, Mother Wang tipped her off, and she was so scared that she couldn't sleep well that night.

Asking them to poison the princess? This is too terrible——

The old woman glanced at Xiaohong, and it was hard to tell whether she was jealous or annoyed.

That's the good thing about being young. This little brat obviously didn't get much sleep last night, but there's nothing unusual about his complexion. There's not even a trace of blue under his eyes.

"Mother Wang, what should we do?" Xiaohong asked in a low voice.

"It's easy, just put that in that crazy woman's food."

By this time, the old woman could no longer call out the word "Princess".

This title would make her feel guilty and affect her ability to get things done.

"It's time for dinner."

The old woman went in with Xiaohong and placed the food in front of Princess Qi.

After spending a night with her daughter, Princess Qi looked calmer than she had in a long time and picked up her chopsticks to pick up some food.

Today's dishes are a bit simpler than usual, with only a braised yellow croaker, a dish of lion's head with crab meat, and a dish of stir-fried bok choy.

Princess Qi liked to eat fish and thought the lion's head was too greasy, so she naturally stretched out her chopsticks and picked up a piece of fish.

The old woman was very worried and watched Princess Qi eat the fish. Suddenly, she frowned, took out her handkerchief and spit out the fish. After that, she just picked up some cabbage to eat.

Seeing that Princess Qi had already eaten half of the rice in the bowl, the maid became anxious and asked, "You don't eat fish?"

Princess Qi glanced at the old woman and said calmly, "The fish tastes a bit fishy today."

Her palms holding the chopsticks were full of sweat.

The fish tasted wrong, it wasn't fishy, ​​but mixed with other strange smells.

She vomited because she was not used to the food, but the mother-in-law's reaction was enough to show that there was something wrong with the food.

This woman was so bold that she hadn't used honorifics to address her for a long time, but just now she addressed her as "you", and it was not a sarcastic title as before, but one that was addressed with a bit of caution.

She had seen such cautiousness many times when she was in charge of the royal palace's banquets. Usually, people were asking for something or hoping for something.

She was just having a meal, what did the old woman expect?

Princess Qi lowered her eyes and stared at the crystal white rice in the bowl, feeling as if she had fallen into an icy cave.

Did the man think she was a nuisance and finally couldn't help but take action?

He had promised that as long as she stayed at home, he would let her watch Yuanjie grow up.

But it had only been so long and he actually wanted to poison her!

How cruel that man was! She was Yuanjie'er's biological mother and his wife of more than ten years!

The maid urged again, "Princess, yellow croaker is not easy to come by. The kitchen knows that you like it, so they sent it here specially. You should try a few bites."

Princess Qi's body was tense, but she said calmly, "I don't have an appetite today. If you like it, take it down and share it."

Having said that, he lowered his eyes and ate his meal in silence.

Seeing that the plan was going nowhere, the old woman finally revealed her vicious face: "Since the princess doesn't like eating fish, then try this."

The old woman held a white porcelain bottle in her hand and approached Princess Qi.

She got two bottles of medicine in total, one of which she poured into the braised yellow croaker, and the other she kept with her in case of emergency.

"You are so brave!" Princess Qi threw her chopsticks on the table, stood up and tried to escape.

"Xiaohong, help me!"

The old woman and Xiaohong surrounded Princess Qi from the front and back, blocking her way.

Now that the relationship had been exposed, the burly old woman did not hesitate. She grabbed Princess Qi's shoulder with one hand and used the other hand to lift the porcelain bottle and stuff it into her mouth.

Xiaohong hugged Princess Qi tightly from behind, preventing her from moving.

Princess Qi struggled desperately.

The old woman sneered, "What's the point of you shouting at the top of your lungs? It's not our intention to kill you."
