Before Duan Rongshi could say anything, Li Qingluo had already overturned the entire pastry plate to the ground with one hand.
Thinking they were poisonous, she became extremely angry and stepped forward to crush them to pieces.
"Have you ever eaten it before?"
"When did she start bringing you cakes?"
"Since she used to be close to Concubine Yue, why would she want to harm you like this?"
"This method is so disgusting!"
If Luo Fan had not been a skilled doctor, he would not have been able to detect the poison easily with just a piece of osmanthus cake.
This osmanthus cake originally has a faint fragrance of osmanthus, and it is difficult to detect anything unusual after just smelling it once.
Only when he saw Li Qingluo's serious expression did he take out another of his precious pills.
After soaking the osmanthus cake in water, dissolve the pills in water.
An hour later, the water containing the osmanthus cake and pills turned light green, and Luo Fan's face changed drastically.
"The person who poisoned me is really vicious."
"Luo'er, this osmanthus cake is inedible. Not only can't you eat it, you can't even touch it directly."
"Otherwise, after a long time, anyone who comes into contact with this pastry will become a stupid and foolish useless person!"
When Li Qingluo heard this, he immediately broke out in a cold sweat.
That's why she was so excited at this moment that she crushed all the osmanthus cakes to pieces.
Then he quickly took a wet towel and carefully wiped Duan Rongshi clean.
Duan Rongshi was extremely enjoying his little girl's strong concern for him at the moment.
Not until he saw her eyes were red did he gently hold her hand which was still wiping it for him.
"fine."
"Don't worry, I have never eaten it."
"Every time I took it, I wiped my hands."
Li Qingluo then remembered that he seemed to have wiped his hands last night.
She felt relieved.
She looked up at him and asked, "Your Highness, have you long known that this Virtuous Consort has ill intentions?"
Duan Rongshi: “Yeah.”
"I've already said that I don't trust a single person in this entire palace."
"Including this Empress Defei and Xiaoliu."
As he said that, he asked Li Qingluo to sit down again.
Then pointed at her and played chess.
"Don't take it too seriously."
"She wants to harm me, but she can't sleep day and night just by looking at my face."
Li Qingluo's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that Concubine Yue's death... was related to this Concubine De?
She looked at Duan Rongshi and waited for him to continue.
Duan Rongshi: "My mother was so stunningly beautiful back then. None of the concubines in the palace could compare to her half as stunning as her."
"So, everyone hates her, but also loves her."
"This De Fei didn't show her wolf-like cruelty towards me from the beginning. She was indeed cold and frosty to everyone, and was only particularly gentle to Xiao Liu and me."
"It was only several years after my mother passed away that I realized she wasn't such a good person."
"That year, she personally brought me this plate of osmanthus cake. She said it was my mother's favorite pastry."
"She saw how much I missed my mother, so she finally asked her family to send some homemade pastries with osmanthus jam to the palace."
"My mother has loved osmanthus since she was young."
"So, in the past, not only was the Guifu Palace filled with osmanthus flowers, but almost all of my mother's accessories were also osmanthus-style, and everything with the scent of osmanthus was also osmanthus-scented."
"After my mother's death, the scent of osmanthus was no longer allowed in the entire harem. I was also very surprised to see that plate of osmanthus cake."
"But I couldn't bear to eat it, so I brought it to my room and placed it on the bedside, just greedily wanting to smell its aroma more to ease my longing for my mother."
"If Xiaoliu and his wet nurse hadn't been constantly complaining about wanting to see me, and if he hadn't been led by his wet nurse to my room, and if he hadn't seen the plate of sweet-scented osmanthus cake, which he had never eaten before, and hadn't been so excited as to want to have a piece, and if Concubine De, who had followed him, hadn't seen this and had panicked and knocked the cake away, I wouldn't have become suspicious."
Li Qingluo: "How old was Your Highness?"
Duan Rongshi: "Ten years old."
Ten years old?
He was only ten years old and already someone close to him had murdered him, wanting to turn him into a fool?
Her heart was filled with deep distress, as if she saw the ten-year-old Duan Rongshi standing in the shadows looking at them.
Duan Rongshi continued to talk about the secrets in his heart that he had never told anyone.
"Even though she explained to me at the time that she had prepared it for me personally and that Xiaoliu was still too young to eat such pastries, I didn't believe it."
"I clearly saw it with my own eyes. Xiaoliu's wet nurse fed him peach cakes."
"Since then, I have been cautious with everything that Concubine De sent me, and I don't touch it easily."
"If you can throw it away, throw it away. If you can't throw it away, destroy it completely."
"When I was thirteen, my appearance became more and more like my mother."
"Even the red mole between her eyebrows is exactly the same as my mother's."
"The expressions of those in the palace, including my father, gradually became complicated when they saw me."
“There is fear.”
“It feels cold.”
"There is hatred and disgust."
"There were also people shouting that I was a monster, a demon possessed by Concubine Yue."
"However, these concubines soon disappeared from the palace for various reasons."
"When I was fifteen, I moved out of the palace and lived in Prince Su's Mansion."
"However, the osmanthus cakes that I haven't eaten yet are still delivered to me once a month."
"Now she must be getting impatient, and has started sending me here every day. She still treats me like the six-year-old child she was back then."
