Chapter 260 Peanut Flavor
Chapter 260 Peanut Flavor
Qin Liuse was a little frightened and put down the spoon in her hand. Looking to the side, she saw Princess Changle's wet nurse holding her and rocking her.
Qin Liuse straightened her body and looked at Princess Changle, and saw that Princess Changle had a lot of rashes and red spots on her face for some reason.
And it seemed a little itchy. Princess Changle stretched out her hand to scratch it, but her hand was grabbed by the maid next to her.
"Princess, you have a rash. Don't scratch it. It will leave marks later."
The most important thing for a daughter is her face. When Concubine Ning saw her daughter become like this, her eyes became red for a moment.
"Why did this happen suddenly? Oh my Changle, what happened?"
Because the third prince was still young, Concubine Ning took care of him more during the banquet, while Princess Changle was taken care of by her wet nurse.
Seeing Princess Changle like this, Concubine Ning was also a little panicked. She handed the third prince to the maid, then knelt beside her and held Princess Changle in her arms.
Princess Changle cried in pain, making “hmmmm” sounds all the time. She cried and shouted, “Mother, Changle feels so uncomfortable, so uncomfortable, it’s so itchy.”
But in just a short while, Princess Changle's small white face had become a little red and swollen.
Emperor Yongjia was obviously frightened as well and immediately stepped down from his seat.
He asked the nurse who was serving Princess Changle, "What did you feed Changle just now?"
Then he directed Zhu Wanxi to call the imperial physician.
The wet nurse frowned and wondered what Princess Changle had just eaten, but Emperor Yongjia obviously didn't have time to wait for her.
He came over and picked up Changle, then strode out and carried Princess Changle back to his Chengqian Palace.
For a moment, no one had the appetite for the banquet and followed Emperor Yongjia to Chengqian Palace.
When they arrived at Chengqian Palace, the imperial physician also arrived with a medicine box.
After the imperial physician examined the little princess, he asked, "Princess Changle, did you eat peanuts just now?"
This imperial physician was in charge of taking care of the little princes and princesses in the palace, so he was very familiar with the symptoms of each prince and princess. He knew that Princess Changle could not eat peanuts and would feel uncomfortable if she ate them, so she asked this question.
The nurse thought for a moment and said, "Princess Changle doesn't eat much. The food prepared for Princess Changle is all she can eat."
"Oh!" He suddenly frowned and said, "The only thing that others ate was the bowl of sweet soup handed to him by Qin Zhaoyi next to him."
Now, all the evidence points to Qin Liuse.
Everyone's eyes were also on Qin Liuse.
Qin Liuse felt a little headache, but she saw Princess Changle was greedy and liked the bowl of sweet soup on her table, so she asked her for it, so she handed it to her.
Who knew these things would happen later.
Moreover, she also scooped two spoonfuls of the sweet soup herself, but when she was eating, she felt that there were too many sesame seeds in it and it was too sweet, which was not to her taste, so she just left it there.
And it didn't taste like peanuts.
Who knew that Princess Changle drooled when she saw it and asked if she could eat it, and Qin Liuse then handed it to him.
Qin Liuse told the whole story truthfully without hiding anything.
Emperor Yongjia said nothing, and the nurse said hurriedly, "I deserve to die, I deserve to die. I was busy with other things just now and didn't pay attention to the bowl of sweet soup. And when Princess Changle ate that bowl, it didn't look like there were peanuts in it."
Qin Liuse nodded. Otherwise, would she be framed like this?
The bowl of sweet soup was made by blending many kinds of ingredients into a paste, and there were no shaped peanuts.
No one told her anything, and she didn't even know there were peanuts in the food when she put it in her mouth. She just tasted like sesame seeds.
The doctor stroked his beard and said, "It seems that this was just an accident."
The imperial physician spoke relatively objectively, but the other women surrounding the dragon bed were not willing to let Qin Liuse off.
Xie Jieyu came out and said, "You can find out which food ingredients Princess Changle is allergic to by just asking around. Who knows if this is intentional?"
Qin Liuse glared at her and said, "Then tell me why I want to harm Princess Changle?"
Xie Jieyu said leisurely, "I didn't say it was Qin Zhaoyi, so who would know? Maybe that person is jealous of the imperial concubine for having a pair of children."
Qin Liuse just wanted to laugh after hearing this and said, "If that's the case, why don't you harm the prince, but instead harm Princess Changle?"
You know, in this imperial city, the prince is more valuable than the princess.
Xie Jieyu was so choked that she was speechless.
Concubine Xin Shu, who was standing next to him, saw the look in Emperor Yongjia's eyes and came out to smooth things over, "I'm afraid it's just a misunderstanding."
"Who could have known that this bowl of sweet soup could make Changle so uncomfortable? When I was eating it, I couldn't really tell there were peanuts in it."
As Concubine Xin Shu spoke, she looked at Emperor Yongjia's expression.
Although she wanted to bring Qin Liuse down in one go, she knew in her heart that it was not easy. What's more, Emperor Yongjia didn't seem to be very angry.
So as a second best option, it would be a good idea to win the favor of Yongjia No. 1 and reject some of his past favors.
But although Concubine Xie stopped talking, other concubines started to make sarcastic remarks.
"This child is the lifeblood of his mother. If anything happens to Princess Changle, the Imperial Concubine will lose her backbone and will not be able to take good care of the Third Prince. If one suffers, all will suffer."
"Everyone knows what Sima Zhao is thinking, but who knows what the person who harmed others is thinking?"
The person who spoke did not explicitly mention Qin Liuse, but every word and sentence of his was hinting that Qin Liuse had a bad heart.
Princess Changle was still sobbing and shouting "Mother, Mother!"
Concubine Ning was very annoyed. She turned around and yelled at everyone, "Shut up, get out if you say anything more. Don't come here to bother me."
Then she turned around and hugged her little princess, coaxing her softly, "Mother is here, mother is here. Don't be afraid, my Changle, don't be afraid, father and mother are here, they are watching over our little Changle, it's okay, the imperial physician will give you acupuncture and apply medicine, take some medicine, and we will be fine after a good sleep."
Although Princess Changle felt very uncomfortable, the little baby liked her mother's arms. She stuck to Concubine Ning and rubbed her chest. Although she felt very uncomfortable, her mood seemed to be much better than before.
After being yelled at by Concubine Ning, those who wanted to hurt Qin Liuse with words no longer had a place to vent. However, the expressions on their faces seemed to say that this was done by Qin Liuse and no one else.
Qin Liuse was also depressed. She didn't know who was so vicious to come up with such a trick to deal with her.
Princess Changle is suffering from an allergy, not poisoning, so it is even more difficult to find out who is behind it.
After all, this bowl of sweet soup is on the table of every concubine.
With so many maids from the Imperial Food Bureau bringing it in, who could have known that it would lead to such a big event later on.
If poison was put in the food, it would be easier to find the person behind it, but the peanuts were prepared long ago, so there was no way to find out who did it.
It's really chilling to see someone with such a big mind.
