After the emperor left, Shen Meizhuang slowly stood up, stretched lazily, and then began to wash.

At this time, Caixing and Caiyue also walked in, yawning, looking sleepy.

Cai Xing rubbed her neck and muttered, "How come I fell asleep at the door?"

She tried to recall what happened last night, but her mind was a blur.

Caiyue also started to murmur:

"Yeah, I didn't do anything yesterday, so why did I sleep so deeply? It seems I can't remember anything!"

She patted her head, trying to clear her mind.

Jin Xi was laughing secretly on the side, thinking that these two little girls had no idea that the water they drank was drugged.

She looked at the confused expressions of the two people and felt scared. If her master had not discovered it in time, she might be so confused now.

After breakfast, Shen Meimei asked Xiao Yunzi to bring Caiyun and another palace maid up so that she could interrogate them personally.

Several eunuchs dragged Caiyun in. Shen Meimei stood up, looked down at Caiyun and said coldly:

"I believe I saved your life, so why did you plot against me? Give me your master, and I will spare your life!"

Caiyun raised her eyes with a look of disdain:

"I am already the Emperor's woman, and will soon be made a concubine. Concubine Hui, you'd better let me go, or I will report it to the Emperor.

Concubine Hui, you have been in the palace for seven or eight years, right? You are old and your looks are fading, it is time for you to retire and enjoy your retirement for a thousand years!

I was the one who served the emperor yesterday, and the emperor kept praising my kung fu. Concubine Hui, how can you compare to him?"

Shen Meimei's eyes widened. She couldn't believe that a teenage girl could say such words.

However, she was not angry, just a little regretful, smacked her lips and said:

"Oh, what a pity! The emperor thought that I drank too much yesterday and took the initiative. Thank you, Caiyun. I don't have to serve the emperor, and I can get a room full of rewards for free. You have worked hard!"

Caiyun was immediately anxious when she heard this, "What do you mean? I served the emperor yesterday, what do you want?"

Jinxi stepped forward and explained softly:

"Yesterday, you put powder in the tea and had contact with people outside the palace. The queen knows everything, including everything that happened in bed! You'd better confess the truth and avoid physical pain!"

Shen Meimei took out a glass bottle filled with concentrated sulfuric acid, "Xiao Yunzi, bring a piece of meat over here!"

"Yes, your majesty! I'll get it right away!" Xiao Yunzi received the order and went straight to the small kitchen at the back to get a piece of pork.

Shen Meimei opened the bottle cap and a strong pungent smell wafted out.

She walked straight to the meat and gently poured a little sulfuric acid. The meat immediately made a hissing sound and a burnt smell. The meat was almost corroded by the concentrated sulfuric acid.

"Caiyun, did you see that? If you keep being stubborn, you don't have to keep your mouth like that. Just drink the sulfuric acid and all your internal organs will be dissolved.

I will give you some time to think about it carefully. If you don't confess, I will investigate slowly. But you will be melted by this bottle of sulfuric acid, and in the end not even a bone will be left."

Shen Meimei was just trying to scare the other party. She wanted to find out who was behind the scenes as soon as possible.

The palace maid who was tied up nearby was so scared that she peed her pants. She kept shaking her head and babbling, as if she wanted to say something.

"Take the rag away and let her speak!" Shen Meimei ordered.
