When Xue Jinyan saw this scene, her heart sank.
I didn't expect that they actually asked the imperial physician to check on them halfway...
It's a pity that such a good nail was wasted in this round.
"Since the mooncakes are fine, then why is there something poisonous in the mooncake residue in the princess' stomach?" Lady Shi looked at Wei Yingya questioningly:
"This must be related to Miss Ying!"
Ning Wanyin, who had been watching and thinking quietly, suddenly spoke out:
"Did the princess drink any water?"
Aunt Ping responded, "Yes, yes, I drank two cups of tea!"
"Please check the tea." Ning Wanyin reminded.
Everyone realized at this time that the mooncake residue was poisonous, and it might not be from the mooncake itself, but it might be from the water that people drank, mixed with the mooncake.
The prison officer immediately went to check the tea, but found that the pot of tea that the princess had drunk had been replaced with a new one.
The tea set was also cleaned.
The palace maid who was in charge of cleaning the tea sets was brought up.
"Why did you change the tea? Clean the tea set?" Helian Qi asked.
The maid stuttered, "I...I saw that the tea was cold, so I changed the pot. I saw that the teacup was dirty, so I cleaned it..."

"Drag him away and send him to the prison department." Helian Qi said coldly.
The maid looked pale.
She was not afraid of death, but was afraid of the punishment from the prison.
As a nail, naturally one has the loyalty to die for the master.
Seeing two eunuchs coming to catch her, the palace maid turned around and slammed her head against the wall, dying on the spot with a bleeding head.
"Your Majesty, she is dead..." Wang Degui sniffed and said hurriedly.
Helian Qi's face was gloomy. "Send a message to the Criminal Justice Department to investigate the person behind her."
The palace maid was hit to death, so the clues to the person behind it were naturally cut off.
Even if the emperor ordered an investigation, nothing would be found.
Today's incident of the princess being poisoned obviously has to be left unresolved.
Many concubines looked surprised, wondering who had poisoned them...
No one expected that at this moment——
Concubine Zhuang suddenly rushed to Concubine Shu in three or two steps, kicked her in the chest, and knocked her to the ground on the spot.
