At this point, Prince Kang did not say a word.
He only wore an extremely somber expression.
Bai Zhi’er slipped out from Princess Consort Kang’s arms.
She took small steps and walked over to Physician He.
"Uncle Doctor, let me see the medicine bottle!"
Physician He hurriedly bowed and opened the medicine bottle: "Be careful, Your Highness, don’t get too close."
Bai Zhi’er blinked her big eyes and took a look inside.
"It’s all in powder form?"
Physician He nodded: "Precisely."
Bai Zhi’er blinked her long eyelashes, more curious: "If that’s the case, just now, Uncle Doctor, how did you find that the food contained tian nanxing?"
"Could it be that you tasted it?"
Physician He quickly waved his hand: "There was a slight powder residue covering the rice bowl and the dishes."
Bai Zhi’er crossed her arms over her round, plump pink cheeks, lost in thought.
She asked in her childish voice: "That’s strange, since it’s powder, it didn’t dissolve when put into the food."
"It’s in every dish, which means she had enough time. If it was truly Sister Qing Lan who poisoned it, she wouldn’t just throw the powder in without even mixing it."
"It rather seems like the powder was deliberately left there, waiting to be discovered!"
Physician He was stunned, suddenly realizing: "Yes! The Princess is right."
"I was only focused on examining the properties of the medicine, but forgot that the tian nanxing powder dissolves easily in water!"
The two maidservants exchanged a covert glance, both seeing a hint of panic in each other’s eyes.
The previously arrogant maid now spoke with a weakened voice.
"Your Highness, even if you want to exonerate Princess Consort, you shouldn’t say such things!"
Bai Zhi’er blinked her long lashes twice, her big eyes clear and bright.
"Hmm? I’m clearly helping to find the truth, but if I don’t agree with you, does it mean I’m exonerating Third Aunt?"
"You are so overbearing, insisting that everyone agree with you and accuse Third Aunt of being the true culprit of the poisoning?"
These innocent-sounding words made everyone present suspicious of the maid’s account.
Suddenly, a frail voice came from the entrance of the room.
"Prince, this is not the fault of Princess Consort, it is my fault for eating mistakenly, causing us to lose our child."
She leaned against the door, wearing only a cloak, her face pale.
She seemed as if she could collapse at any moment.
Second Aunt staggered over, glancing discreetly at Bai Zhi’er.
As long as this Princess Cuicuo is around, her plans are always disrupted!
It’s not the first time!
Just now inside the room, she heard this sharp-witted little ghost meticulously investigating.
Before things could be exposed, Second Aunt had to "wake up" and quickly come out to stop Bai Zhi’er’s momentum!
She knelt weakly in front of Prince Kang.
"Prince, it was my fault for not protecting our child, please punish me."
The Fifth Heir Bai Fengqing couldn’t hold back: "Aren’t you disgusting! It’s clearly you framing my mother!"
Second Aunt bowed her head, looking as if she was accepting punishment willingly.
"Yes, it’s all my fault, please Young Master calm down."
Immediately, Second Aunt’s maid rushed over, crying, "Mistress, how tragic your fate is!"
Bai Zhi’er’s big eyes flashed with impatience!
How can she cry more than a child!
At this moment, Prince Kang, who had been silent, suddenly spoke.
His tone was as cold as his gaze.
"Yuzhi," he called out Second Aunt’s name: "You say you were pregnant, then miscarried?"
Second Aunt didn’t understand the significance of his words.
She could only nod weakly.
Prince Kang suddenly sneered.
"But I long ago fed you infertility soup; how did you get pregnant? I’m rather curious!"
The words were like a thunderclap, stirring great waves!
Second Aunt immediately raised her head, her eyes wide open in disbelief, looking at Prince Kang.
Princess Consort Kang was also quite surprised.
Suddenly, the housekeeper hurriedly ran in, loudly saying: "Prince, Marquis Wan has arrived with an Asura envoy!"
