Hearing the sound, several people looked over.
Meng Yan's face was filled with panic, and at her feet was a broken medicine bowl with the medicine spilled all over the floor.
The old lady looked at her and asked with concern: "Are you not hurt?"
Meng Yan's face was pale, as if she was still in shock. She shook her head, "I, I'm fine."
Seeing her expression, Chu Yaoyao's eyes turned, then pointed in the direction of Yan Zhiying and Zhou Huaichen, and sighed in an innocent tone.
"Wow, you two are such a good match!"
“Puff!”
The old lady was amused by this.
“Cough cough cough…”
"grandmother!"
"Great-grandmother!"
Several people hurried forward, and except Chu Yaoyao, no one noticed the flash of resentment and murderous intent in Lu Mengyan's eyes.
The old lady endured the itch in her throat and waved at the few people, "Don't worry, I'm fine. I won't die yet."
She looked at Zhou Huaichen and Yan Zhiying with satisfaction, "I want to see my darling grandson get married."
This successfully made the two of them blush.
[Eh? There's something going on between these two! ]
Chu Yaoyao, a veteran spectator, saw the signs at a glance.
She put on an auntie smile and started to cause trouble again.
She walked over and pushed Yan Zhiying towards Zhou Huaichen.
Then he looked around and finally nodded with satisfaction.
"That's right!"
The old lady touched her little hand and said lovingly, "Look, our little princess and I are thinking the same thing."
Chu Yaoyao lowered her head and smiled shyly. Looking at the favorability of someone in her peripheral vision that was constantly filled with black, the corners of her mouth widened.
Lu Mengyan glared at the two people standing together with gritted teeth and clenched her fists tightly.
Seeing her expression, Chu Yaoyao continued to prick her heart, "Ms. Mengyan, whether you like it or not, you also think that they are a good match!"
Hearing this, Zhou Huaichen and Yan Zhiying took a step to the side at the same time, moving far away.
Then they coughed twice at the same time and looked around, looking at everyone in the room but not at each other.
Lu Mengyan was afraid that others would discover her emotions, so she lowered her head and hurried out, "I, I'll go boil the medicine again!"
After she left, the old lady sighed softly.
She was already buried up to her neck in the dirt, so what else was there that she couldn't understand?
She knew that Meng Yan liked Chen'er, but not to mention that Chen'er was already engaged.
The most important thing is that Chen'er has no interest in her.
"Great-grandmother, please take this pill quickly." The prince handed over the detoxification pill again.
Zhou Huaichen was a little skeptical, but the old lady took the pill and put it in her mouth very firmly.
She believed in the prince! The three watched her take the pill, and then waited nervously on the side.
Chu Yaoyao strolled around, touching this and that.
Focus on the medicine scattered on the ground, the incense burner and flower pots, and the tea set on the table.
I checked around but found nothing.
[Everything is fine, what's going on? ]
The novel only mentions that the old lady was poisoned by her relatives from her natal family.
But it didn't say how it was downloaded or where it was placed.
There is an imperial physician guarding the mansion these days, so the food is definitely not poisonous, and there is nothing wrong with the room.
So how did Lu Mengyan poison the person?
…
On the other side, after Lu Mengyan left the room, her expression instantly turned gloomy. She looked in the direction of the room with resentment, and then left quickly.
But she did not go directly to the kitchen to boil the medicine, but went back to her room first.
In the room, the old lady took the detoxification pill, and within half a cup of tea, she was ready to go to the toilet.
After Yan Zhiying helped her out, the prince noticed something was wrong with Yaoyao.
"What's wrong, Yaoyao? Did you find something wrong?"
“How strange.”
Zhou Huaichen also came over, "What's strange about that?"
Chu Yaoyao put her hands on her hips and looked around. "I'm curious, where was the poison placed?"
"poison?!"
Hearing this, Zhou Huaichen's pupils shocked and he looked at her in disbelief.
"Isn't that possible? The Emperor sends a royal doctor to check Grandpa and Grandma's pulses every month. In the past few days, Grandma's meals and medicines have also been personally checked by the royal doctor."
The prince looked at him with a serious expression, "Uncle, do you know what medicine that was?"
"Isn't this the miracle drug that saved your life before?"
He had vaguely heard his grandfather mention that the little princess took out the magic medicine to cure the prince.
The prince opened his lips slightly, "It's a detoxification pill."
"My great-grandmother has taken the detoxification pill and is now well again. Do you still have doubts?"
Zhou Huaichen clenched his fists, his joints crackling, and gritted his teeth and said, "Who is it?!"
How dare you poison my grandmother right under their noses?! [Who else could it be? Lu Mengyan!]
"Just now, Miss Meng Yan, it was so strange."
Chu Yaoyao looked up at him.
For the sake of my brother the Crown Prince, I'll still remind you.
"this……"
Zhou Huaichen, who was full of anger just now, became a little embarrassed when he heard this. Then he turned his head and looked outside the door carefully.
Looking at the brother and sister, he whispered, "Actually, she is interested in me, but I don't like her, and I have already made it clear to her, but she seems very stubborn."
"I guess I was a little sad when I heard my grandmother talking about my wedding date, so I lost my composure."
Chu Yaoyao: ...
The prince held his forehead with his hand, speechless.
Looking at the little girl with a pout and a look of disdain, Zhou Huaichen was afraid that she would say something nonsense in front of Yan Zhiying, so he shook his head and waved his hands frantically and explained loudly.
"Don't get me wrong, I really don't like her!"
The prince had a complicated expression, "Uncle, have you ever thought that Lu Mengyan might be the one who poisoned me?"
"W-what?" Zhou Huaichen looked stunned.
"After all, my grandmother and her grandmother are sisters. Why would she do this?"
Chu Yaoyao raised her eyes and glanced at him dimly.
【Because of love. 】
【Because of jealousy! 】
[She likes you and wants to marry you, but you have no interest in her, so she came to the old lady for help, but the old lady did not agree, and repeatedly mentioned your engagement in front of her.]
【So I can’t love you, and hate you because of love. 】
"I'm going to arrest her right now and ask her about it!"
As he spoke, Zhou Huaichen strode out, and as soon as he went out, he saw his grandmother walking towards him.
"Grandma? You're back?"
At this time, Lu Mengyan came over again with the medicine bowl.
Seeing this scene, the hand holding the tray instantly increased its strength.
"Madam, why did you come out?"
As she spoke, she walked over quickly, stuffed the tray into Yan Zhiying's hands, and then helped the old lady walk in.
"The imperial physician said that you are weak and need to stay in bed and rest."
As she approached, Chu Yaoyao felt a burning pain in her fingers. The feeling was much stronger than any other time before, and she cried out in pain.
"hiss!"
Seeing her covering her finger, the prince quickly squatted beside her to check, "What's wrong?"
[It's a purse, and there's a poison pill in the purse! ]
[It turns out that the poison was not directly administered, but was made into a sachet. Through inhalation, toxins accumulated in the body over a long period of time, slowly damaging the internal organs.]
【How vicious! 】
