The princess is rebellious and brings space to make trouble for the villain

"Doctor Wang, I'll just take a look."

"It has always been Xu Zhaoyi who has taken care of me. I want to go see her."

"Queen Dowager, I'm sorry, it's not appropriate for Xu Zhaoyi to see anyone right now."

After hearing what the imperial physician said, the empress dowager wiped her tears and immediately spoke angrily.

"Someone, please bring out Princess Qi."

"Yes."

Not long after, Lu Shiwan came out from behind the screen, led by her maid.

When I walked out, my eyes were still red.

When the Queen Mother saw her like this, she couldn't bring herself to say a word of blame.

She didn't believe that Lu Shiwan would frame Xu Zhaoyi. It was Lu Shiwan who saved Xu Zhaoyi at the risk of his own life.

But now, everyone said so, and she couldn't find evidence from her.

This can be considered as the last respect that she, as an elder, gives to Xu Zhaoyi.

"Your Highness, please speak frankly. Your daughter-in-law still needs to see you off."

"Wan'er, I want to ask you, what did you say when you toasted with Xu Zhaoyi just now?"

She and Xu Zhaoyi were seated between the emperor and at that time she was so busy watching the singing and dancing that she didn't notice this side.

Lu Shiwan said:

"Grandmother, my granddaughter-in-law offered a glass of wine, and then we talked about my husband."

"Is that all?" the Queen Mother asked again.

"Yeah." Lu Shiwan thought for a moment, "But..."

"But what?"

"However, when my granddaughter-in-law was toasting my mother, there was no water in the pot, so she asked the maid to get a new pot. Who knew that a maid would bring it over."

"Other than that, nothing else was said."

The Queen Mother narrowed her eyes when she heard this, "Maiden?"

"Ah."

"Someone, come and gather all the maids who were serving in the main hall."

"Yes, Queen Mother."

Soon.

All the palace maids were summoned to the front of the hall, and they all stood there nervously, not knowing what was going on.

"Who among you served Xu Zhaoyi today? Stand up for me."

As soon as the Queen Mother finished speaking, two palace maids walked out from the crowd.

"Empress Dowager, I have served Xu Zhaoyi before." The maid knelt down immediately, "I brought cakes to Xu Zhaoyi."

"Empress Dowager, Concubine Xu's cup fell down, and I replaced it with a new one for her."

Seeing this, the Queen Mother asked, "Where is the maid who just delivered the kettle?"

There was a commotion among the crowd, and then a palace maid came out faintly.

"Empress Dowager, I am the maid who delivered the kettle. When I delivered the kettle just now, Princess Qi was also there. I thought it didn't count, so..."

"What a bastard!" When the Queen Mother heard her say this, she immediately said angrily: "I have said it clearly. I have served Xu Zhaoyi. How can I say that I don't count?"

"You." The Queen Mother pointed at a few palace maids and ordered, "Send the cakes and tea to the imperial physician for examination."

"Yes, Queen Mother."

After hearing this, the palace maid breathed a sigh of relief.

"Grandmother, if the poison was so obvious, the imperial physician would have discovered it long ago."

Lu Shiwan walked to the Queen Mother and then looked at the palace maids.

"Grandmother, I just gave the cakes to my granddaughter-in-law, but she's fine."

"Also, my mother has been drinking from the teacup, except for the pot of water I just drank."

As she spoke, she looked at the taller palace maid.

"Go over there and bring the plate to me."

The taller palace maid was stunned when she heard Lu Shiwan's words.

"what did you say?"

"I asked you to fetch water, why do you have any objections?"

"No, no objection."

Having said that, she turned around hurriedly, went to a random table, picked up a tray of tea and came to Lu Shiwan.

After seeing this, Lu Shiwan looked at the Queen Mother.

"Grandmother, I wonder if you can see anything?"

The Queen Mother looked the palace maid up and down, her eyes fixed on her hands.

"He is a man who can get things done. Pour everyone a glass of water."

"Yes."

After hearing this, everyone was a little surprised.

Xu Zhaoyi's matter is the most important thing right now. Is the Queen Mother still in the mood to drink tea?

Pei Yutong, who was about to go up and cry to Xu Zhaoyi, was stopped outside and had to go back in disgrace.

After hearing Lu Shiwan's words, she said loudly:

"Queen Dowager, I think Lu Shiwan must have a malicious heart and deliberately wanted to harm Lady Zhaoyi. She just couldn't bear to see Lady Zhaoyi agree to Prince Qi marrying another woman."

"She must be the murderer."

"Otherwise, how could something happen as soon as she went to Zhaoyi? Zhaoyi was fine when she was not there just now."

The daughter of the Minister of Works had long wanted to come forward, but without anyone to take the lead, she had never dared to do so.

Now, after hearing Pei Yutong's words, he immediately agreed.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Her father had just been released not long ago, and luckily he was only fined some money. Now when she saw Lu Shiwan and Chen Anqi, she was filled with hatred.

If it weren't for Lu Shiwan's prediction, she wouldn't have told her father, and her father wouldn't have been so cautious.

If I hadn't been so cautious, I wouldn't have fallen out with the Chen family.

All of this was done by Lu Shiwan.

It must have been Lu Shiwan who deliberately instigated discord, which eventually led to a falling out between her and Chen Anqi.

"My Queen Mother, I also think it was her."

When the Minister of Works heard what his daughter said, his eyes almost popped out of his head in anger.

He immediately grabbed Jiang Qingxue and said, "Don't you think the trouble is not enough?"

"Dad, your daughter really saw it!" Jiang Qingxue avoided his gaze.

"If you know the truth but don't report it, you will be punished by death!"

"you--"

The Queen Mother listened to their words, then looked at the maid who was pouring water for her.

He immediately asked:

"Are you two so sure?"

"Yes." They said in unison.

The Queen Mother then asked the woman just now.

"Which team's maid are you from?"

"My servant is from Team 21."

"Twenty-one?" The Queen Mother raised her head and looked at the group of palace maids. "Have you from Team 21 ever seen her?"

"Replying to Your Majesty, no."

"No."

After hearing this, the maid became anxious and said, "No, I am... from Team 11!"

Suddenly, the palace maid standing at the door of the hall spoke immediately.

"You are lying!"

"Team 11 is responsible for guarding the gate. I am the head aunt of Team 11. The maids under my command will never do anything that goes beyond the rules."

Lu Shiwan then walked up to the palace maid with a chuckle.

"You wanted to poison someone secretly, but you came here to harm someone without even knowing the truth. Who gave you the courage?"

After hearing this, the palace maid narrowed her eyes and immediately refuted.

"Princess Qi, I didn't do that. You are clearly trying to shirk responsibility."

"I was pouring water in front of you, and your cup was also spilled. I saw you drink it with my own eyes. Why are you fine while Xu Zhaoyi is in trouble?"

"If it was really me who poisoned you, then you should all be in trouble together!"

Lu Shiwan then raised his hand to Ziyun beside him, and soon, Ziyun came to Lu Shiwan with a cup of water.

"princess."

Lu Shiwan glanced at the drink in his glass indifferently and put it on the table beside him.

"Doctor Li, please come and check it out."
