“You can keep it for yourself. I’m not hungry.” Zhuang Fei casually declined.
“I have other things to do. You can go back and read if you don’t have anything else to do.”
The Eldest Princess’s eyes reddened: “Please try it. You praised crispy snow as delicious. You will definitely like the mooncakes made by Ying Meiren.”
“Your Majesty, the Eldest Princess has a heartfelt wish—” Nanny Ping chimed in, her eyes full of earnestness.
Zhuang Fei was very annoyed to see that both master and servant looked like they were about to cry.
She casually took a mooncake from the gift box, placed it on the fruit plate on the table, and said, “Nanny Ping, take the Eldest Princess downstairs.”
In the end, she took a mooncake. A hint of joy appeared in the Eldest Princess’s eyes.
“Your daughter takes her leave. I will go back now to study diligently!”
When Zhuang Fei didn’t want to see her, her way of sending her away was to tell her to go back to her studies.
Therefore, the Eldest Princess has been studying very hard, hoping to please Zhuang Fei.
After the master and servant left, a long time passed, and the shadow puppet show had been performed twice…
Zhuang Fei picked up the mooncake on the table as if casually, took a small bite, and said, “Hmm, it’s really good.”
…
In Qionghua Garden—
“Master, a strange thing happened at Jin Guizhai today.” Zhu Sha reported.
This was what happened at the main gate, and many concubines and palace servants who were passing by saw this scene.
“Ying Meiren sent a box of mooncakes to the Eldest Princess? Tsk, this is indeed an opportunity.” Xue Jinyan’s eyes flashed.
“It seems there’s a spy from the Xue family by the side of the Eldest Princess?”
“Yes. Back then, the Empress Dowager was worried about Zhuang Fei, so she secretly planted people to watch over the Eldest Princess’s safety.” Zhu Sha reported.
Xue Jinyan smiled enigmatically: “On the surface, this person was transferred from the Imperial Household Department by Shu Fei. Very well, let her handle the matter…”
Xue Jinyan gave some instructions.
Zhu Sha was taken aback: “But what about the Empress Dowager…”
“If Aunt really cared about her life or death, she wouldn’t have stood by and watched me burn down Linlang Palace. The people Aunt left behind were to plant seeds for Zhuang Fei, not to truly protect her.”
Xue Jinyan understood at a glance.
Speaking of which, they were secretly sent by the Xue family to protect the Eldest Princess.
But…
Did Empress Dowager Xue really care about the life or death of a princess?
This spy was obviously originally intended to deal with Zhuang Fei. It was only because Zhuang Fei was deemed insignificant that Empress Dowager Xue refrained from taking action.
If Zhuang Fei were as troublesome as Ning Wanyin, Empress Dowager Xue would have already had the spy poison the Eldest Princess, framed Zhuang Fei, and dealt with Zhuang Fei.
Zhu Sha suddenly realized: “This servant will go and make the arrangements right away.”
…
Linlang Palace—
Zhuang Fei had just finished eating her mooncakes when Nanny Ping rushed over.
“Your Highness, something terrible has happened! The Eldest Princess is in trouble!”
“What is it?” Zhuang Fei frowned impatiently.
“The Eldest Princess suddenly fainted and became feverish…” Nanny Ping was terrified.
Zhuang Fei’s face darkened: “Hurry and summon the imperial physician!”
Soon, the imperial physician arrived in a hurry.
Helian Qi also arrived at Linlang Palace upon hearing the news.
When the imperial concubines heard about this, and that even the Emperor had gone there, how could they not rush over to express their concern?
So, everyone rushed to Linlang Palace.
Several imperial physicians hurriedly induced vomiting in the Eldest Princess.
Imperial Physician Zhao knelt before the Emperor and reported, “The Eldest Princess’s condition is caused by poisoning. If she can be induced to vomit as soon as possible, there is still a chance to save her…”
“What do you mean by ‘possible’?” Helian Qi’s face was ashen.
Imperial Physician Zhao said tremblingly, “The poison that the Eldest Princess has been afflicted with is extremely potent. This humble subject dares not make a definitive diagnosis…”
The palace fell silent instantly.
Zhuang Fei’s face was pale, and her fists, hidden in her sleeves, were clenched tightly.
