Chapter 212
Granny Luo looked at the accountant Wang Yuan with a puzzled expression.
Given the current condition of the old princess, she has absolutely no need for ginseng.
Why did he bring ginseng?
"Oh dear, Lao Wang, if you bring ginseng at this time, the old princess won't be able to use it," Liu Ming quickly said.
"Didn't Miss Biao say that the old princess asked her to go to the storeroom to get ginseng?" Wang Yuan asked, looking puzzled.
Zheng Qiaoshu, who was on the ground, did not expect that Wang Yuan would come at this time.
"What's going on?" Liu Ming asked, frowning.
“Today, Miss Biao came to the storeroom and said that the old princess asked her to fetch ginseng to nourish her body. She didn’t bring the old princess’s warrant, so this old servant didn’t let her in. Didn’t she say she came to get the warrant?” Wang Yuan looked at Zheng Qiaoshu with some confusion.
"Uncle Wang, you're mistaken. I didn't go to the storeroom today." Zheng Qiaoshu was very flustered and denied it without thinking.
“Miss, this old servant is not so confused as to be unable to recognize people.” Wang Yuan’s face darkened. What did this “Miss” mean?
Is it because my eyesight is failing due to old age?
"The poison on these pastries is indeed the same as the poison that the old princess was poisoned with," Doctor Zhang said shortly afterward.
"You, Zheng Qiaoshu! The old princess treated you like her own daughter, and you actually poisoned her!" Upon hearing this, Granny Luo angrily pointed at Zheng Qiaoshu's nose and cursed.
"She treats me like her own daughter? Only you would believe that. She just wants me to be her slave." Zheng Qiaoshu saw that her secret had been exposed, so there was nothing left to hide.
If the old woman truly cared for her, why wouldn't she let her marry her son?
They said they would find her a good family, but isn't that just because they think she's not good enough for her son?
Thinking of this, Zheng Qiaoshu was furious. How come that old woman wasn't poisoned to death?
"With servants by the old princess's side, there's no need for you to be a beast of burden. Hmph, guards, take this vile woman who poisoned the old princess away. We'll deal with her when the prince returns," Granny Luo ordered the guards who had been waiting outside.
"Haha, come back? They're not coming back!" Zheng Qiaoshu said with a smug smile as she looked at Granny Luo.
"What do you mean?" Li Tianyou became anxious upon hearing this, after all, his daughter must be among those who couldn't come back.
“My master has already ordered his men to set up an ambush on the road from Li’an County back to the capital. As long as Prince An passes by, he will surely be crushed to pieces!” Zheng Qiaoshu said to the people in the room with a smug look on her face.
"You are absolutely heartless!" Granny Luo clutched her chest, never expecting that this young lady would have such wolfish ambitions.
"I'll go write a letter to the Prince right away." Without thinking, Liu Ming ran out.
"Lock her in the manor jail!" At this moment, Granny Luo was extremely anxious. On one hand, the old princess was unconscious, and on the other hand, Prince An might be in danger.
"I will go to the palace to plead with the Emperor right away," Li Tianyou said quickly after thinking for a moment.
After all, given the current situation, perhaps only the Emperor can save Xu Heming and the others.
However, it remains to be seen who is behind that Miss Biao.
Lanhuai Prince's Mansion
"What? Arrested? Useless trash!" King Lan Huai was furious when he heard that Zheng Qiao Shu had been arrested.
"Master, Zheng Qiaoshu is no longer a useful piece in the Prince An's mansion. Do we still need to insert another piece?" Shanzi asked cautiously.
"Don't act rashly yet." Prince Lan Huai frowned. Now that Zheng Qiaoshu has gotten into trouble at Prince An's residence, it won't be easy for them to send people in again in the short term.
Moreover, Zheng Qiaoshu's identity can only be used once.
