Chapter 24 Baoer was scared to tears
Her cry startled everyone.
The prince next to Xia Baoer was the first to react. He reached out and overturned the red bean cake.
His sister never cried. She would only pout when she suffered any grievance.
I'm scared to tears now, it seems there must be something wrong.
The prince's face turned livid: "You vicious woman, what did you do to the cake? Tell me!"
Grandma Zhishan never expected such a thing to happen.
She specially spent money to clear the relationship with the imperial kitchen, so that she could get the opportunity to deliver meals to the Queen in person.
I heard that there is a little princess here, and she specially made sweet red beans.
How could it be poisoned?
Grandma Zhishan kowtowed and said in panic: "Even if you give me ten courages, I will not dare to poison you!"
Xia Baoer cried with tears in her eyes: "Queen, she is evil! I don't want her!"
The queen quickly held Xia Baoer in her arms and comforted her: "Baoer, tell me, why do you think she has been poisoned?"
Xia Baoer wiped her tears with the back of her little hand: "Baoer's little flower died after eating what she made. Woo hoo."
"Who is Xiaohua?"
"It's Bao'er's cat."
When Grandma Zhishan heard this, she raised her eyes and looked quietly, and was shocked: "Ninth Princess, it's you?!"
Can this little loser come out of the cold palace?
It seems that the recent rumors in the palace are true. Concubine Hui jumped out of the cold palace and the ninth princess regained the emperor's favor.
Aunt Zhishan suddenly broke out in sweat on her forehead.
It would be terrible if the queen knew what she had done!
The Queen winked at Ziyu, and Ziyu grabbed Grandma Zhishan by the collar, slapped her twice with her bow left and right. "Old man, how dare you hide it in front of the Queen!"
Grandma Zhishan was beaten with blood foaming from the corner of her mouth, and she quickly begged for mercy: "Oh, don't hit me, I will tell you..."
She lay on the ground and trembled: "At first, Hui Bin was thrown into the cold palace because she offended the queen. I was still working in the cold palace at that time, so I made it more difficult for Hui Bin."
Afraid of being scolded by the queen, she hurriedly added: "But that's all because Hui concubine doesn't follow the rules! She always wants to eat more and doesn't do anything. She is very lazy."
The queen thought about what happened back then. She had a long-standing problem with headaches.
That time when the concubines were visiting the garden together, she happened to have a headache, and the concubine Hui who was closest to her was framed and accused by Concubine Shu.
At that time, the queen fainted from a headache. Later, she only heard that one of her concubines was thrown into the cold palace because of this.
She once wanted to forgive Hui concubine and leave the cold palace, but the emperor refused to agree.
But the queen did not expect that the people in the cold palace would bully Hui Bin for being kind.
She said sternly: "Even if Hui Bin is in the cold palace, she is still half a master. How dare you let her do things? What a troublesome slave! What about poisoning?"
Aunt Zhishan looked around wildly, and the prince couldn't bear it any longer and raised his fist to hit her.
"You evil slave, why don't you explain?!"
The prince's domineering attitude was known to the whole palace, and Grandma Zhishan was afraid of being beaten to death by him, so she hurriedly spoke out.
"The slave was confused at the time and mistook the mouse poison and put it into the pastry."
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw the expressions of the queen and the prince changed in an uproar.
Aunt Zhishan quibbled again: "But! Didn't Hui Bin and the Ninth Princess eat too? Instead, they let the cat eat it. This is also the blessing of Hui Bin and the Ninth Princess."
The queen slammed the table, rarely getting so angry: "It's a good thing you didn't eat. If someone accidentally eats you, what should you do if something goes wrong? You are trying to kill your concubines and heirs!"
The Queen ordered: "Take Diao Nu to the Prison Division and let her know how powerful she is!"
