"What do you mean by that?"
Bai Yin gestured to Bai Yun to slowly pick up the broken porcelain pieces on the ground.
Then she lowered her body slightly and said, "Your Majesty, I don't know why this bird's nest duck ended up in the two princes' food, but the one in your lady's was something she had never seen before, so she asked for it from your lady."
Zhaopin was stunned when she heard this, followed by a sneer.
"After all, she comes from a humble background. It's just a bird's nest duck dish, but it's not worth it for her."
"That's right. Your Highness is from a poor family. She used to be just a maid tending flowers in the flower room. Naturally, she can't compare to the Empress's wealth."
Bai Yin responded and continued, "At that time, I saw that Noble De didn't use it, but Noble Ling asked for it. Although I was anxious, I couldn't say anything. It was her own fate."
After Bai Yin finished speaking, Zhaopin sighed.
"I don't know who is plotting this time, but I'm afraid this will not end well for me."
"Don't worry, Madam. The bird's nest and ducks given to Noble Lady De are from a clean family. There's no way they can be traced back to us."
"To put it bluntly, at most she will be unable to manage palace affairs for the time being. This is a good opportunity for Your Majesty to consolidate her favor and have another chance to be pregnant."
"As for the other matters, the two princes, our hands are clean and we are not implicated at all. Besides, the master is away. I heard that the emperor intends to let the master lead the troops. I think he will not be too harsh on the queen."
Zhaopin gave a bitter smile.
"If I only want the Emperor's respect, then having Father here would be enough. But how can the Emperor's respect alone be enough?"
"This kid doesn't come from a place of respect."
"Now I am only worried that the Emperor might dislike me because of the palace banquet, or that someone might use this incident to gossip about me in front of the Emperor. That would be terrible."
"Didn't you see the look on Concubine Shu's face just now? It was as if she was nervous about having two legitimate children!"
Bai Yin didn't want to say much when it came to criticizing her master.
She had to change the subject and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. After all, the two princes are fine. Even if Your Majesty wants to take advantage of this to get angry, there is no reason for it."
The master and servant of Yikun Palace agreed upon it.
If you act consciously and carefully, there is no possibility of being discovered.
On the other side, in Jingren Palace, the couple sat facing each other, and Qingying still had a look of worry on her face.
"Your Majesty, today's events are truly bizarre. Thinking about it now, I still feel terrified... Who on earth could be so unwilling to see my child..."
Hongli also looked angry.
Reach out and hold Qingying.
"Qingying, don't worry. I've already had this matter thoroughly investigated, and I'll definitely give you and the two children an explanation."
"Ah, it's Sister Zhaopin who worked so hard and took so much trouble to get such a result..."
It would be better not to say that.
After Qingying finished speaking, anger flashed in Hongli's eyes.
"I thought she was steady and prudent, but she can't even handle something like this. How can she be so impulsive and unfit to manage the six harems?"
The corners of Qingying's mouth trembled, and just as she was about to speak, Xiuxia hurried in.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Jianqiu from the Empress Dowager's side is here."
Now that he's here, he must have found out something.
Hongli immediately sat up straight and said, "Let her come in!"
Qingying turned around and saw that Jianqiu seemed to have a hint of anger on his face.
She walked quickly to the front and knelt down, "This servant pays respects to the Emperor and the Empress."
"Excuse me, auntie, but has the matter come to a conclusion?"
Qingying spoke, feeling a strange feeling in her heart.
It feels really strange to call Jianqiu "Auntie".
"In reply to the Emperor and Empress, I have already ascertained that the oleander blossom liquid in the bird's nest and duck food given to the prince and the two noble ladies today came from a young eunuch in the imperial kitchen who was in charge of cutting the meat."
"I also had someone interrogate that young eunuch. He was ordered by the Yikun Palace."
There was no emotion in Jianqiu's words, and her expression had returned to calm.
But Hongli seemed to be furious.
"Yikun Palace? Is there any evidence for this?"
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. For now, I have only found out that the person who gave the order was from Yikun Palace, and I can only ask the person who delivered the message from Yikun Palace privately."
