At this juncture, whoever hits will definitely die.
and…
Today's incident is far from over.
The silence in the room did not last long.
The door curtain was lifted again, and this time, it was not only Matron Cui who came in.
Zhang Xun entered first, walked up and knelt, "Your Majesty, I have something important to report."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the room became excited.
Fu Cha Zhuying went through immense pain to give birth to a frail princess, and even suffered heavy bleeding, and her life or death is still unknown.
At this moment, Zhang Xun said that he had something important to report.
How can it not make people think more?
Hongli could naturally think of this.
"What's the matter? Tell me quickly."
"Your Highness, I was not responsible for Princess Ying's pulse when she was pregnant, so I have never taken Princess Ying's pulse."
"Today, Concubine Qing sent a message saying that Princess Ying was having a difficult labor, so I followed her to the Qiongyu Courtyard."
"Who would have thought that this pulse diagnosis would be wrong."
"Your Highness, Princess Ying's body shows signs of long-term use of bananas. Bananas are cold in nature, and long-term use will definitely harm the fetus. The little princess was born with a deficiency in the womb, all due to this."
"banana?"
Hongli frowned, looking puzzled.
"In reply to your Highness, that is correct. However, I have already asked those close to Ying Gege, and they all said that Ying Gege knew that banana leaves have a cold nature, and therefore never used them."
"I dare to say that since those around Ying Gege are so sure, the banana leaves must have been used somewhere that's hard to spot, and they can't be easily removed. Your Highness, please thoroughly investigate what Ying Gege eats, so we can get to the bottom of it."
Zhang Xun's words made the people in the room look at each other in confusion.
I never thought that today's incident would lead to such a conspiracy to harm others.
"How is Yinggege's health?"
"Your Highness, Princess Ying's bleeding has stopped, but she's injured herself. I'm afraid she won't be able to get pregnant again."
Zhang Xun's next words made Hongli's brows furrow with anger.
"Wang Qin, you must personally lead your men to thoroughly investigate Qiong Yu Courtyard. Even if you have to dig three feet underground, you must find this evil creature for me!"
Hongli was furious, so naturally others did not dare to slack off.
People came in a stream, taking away the people who had served Fu Cha Zhuying, and searched everywhere except the delivery room and Jin Yuyan's room thoroughly.
Things soon made progress.
Wang Qin came in holding a steamer about the size of a large bowl and presented it to Hongli.
"Your Highness, this was found in the small kitchen of Qiongyu Courtyard. Doctor Zhang has examined it and said it smells like banana."
As he spoke, he tilted the steamer and said, "Your Highness, please look. This ordinary steamer is just one layer of thin slices, but this steamer has two layers, and the banana leaves are sandwiched in the middle."
"Your Highness, these banana leaves are colder in nature, even colder than banana leaves. If you place them in the steamer, the snacks you steam every day will all be infused with the banana leaves' coldness. How can this benefit you in the long run?"
Zhang Xun knelt beside him and spoke again.
What the two said made Hongli extremely angry.
With a sweep of his hand, all the teacups on the table fell to the ground.
Amidst the clanging sound, everyone stood up and knelt down. "Your Majesty, please calm down."
Hongli did not ask to excuse himself for a long time, but Qingying could hardly kneel.
He stood up first and said, "What a meticulous calculation! It's truly shocking. Your Majesty, this matter must be thoroughly investigated to give justice to Princess Ying and the child."
"You're right. We should investigate thoroughly. Who usually serves in the small kitchen of Qiongyu Courtyard? Wang Qin, drag them out one by one for questioning. Anyone who refuses to speak will be beaten to death!"
"Your Highness, calm down. Your Highness, things are starting to get better."
Wang Qin bowed and replied, then turned and said, "Bring it up!"
As soon as he finished speaking, two young eunuchs outside escorted a middle-aged eunuch into the room.
"Your Highness, this man is Duoxi, who is in charge of Princess Ying's meals in the small kitchen of Qiongyu Courtyard. I have already asked him about these daily necessities, and he has definitely been involved in this matter."
