My Naughty Princess Consort

Chapter 20 - Drag Out and Beat To Death

"What inappropriate food do you think this lady has consumed?"

The imperial physician cast a glance at Princess Consort. The lady before him was rather adorable and graceful but she was not considered the prettiest after all.

Looking at this, he felt that seeing is believing! The imperial physician bowed as he uttered, "In reply to Princess Consort, eating lots of food that consists of beans will result in emitting gas."

"But it won't cause the lady to emit gas unceasingly. It seems like it was not only an ingredient, it was a concoction of herbs used to achieve such a result."

Qian Jiujiu murmured in acknowledgment before saying, "Does this mean that this lady is schemed by someone? Tsk, tsk, this is such a huge embarrassment. Imperial physician, you've to swiftly check out the situation then."

"Check the food the lady has eaten just now to look for the cause of the problem."

At this instant, Madam Qian finally understood that the bowl of soup was the source of the problem. However, she was curious as to why Qian Jiujiu was so eager to look for the solution.

Indeed, the imperial physician did not let others down. Soon, he spotted the bowl of soup. "Your Highness, Princess Consort, this bowl of soup has a problem."

Qian Jiujiu raised her eyebrows. "Father, do you dislike me being back for a meal?

Minister Qian was dumbfounded. Obviously, he had not come to senses of the meaning behind Qian Jiujiu's words. His expression was still perplexed as usual. "What are you talking about, Princess Consort? For sure, I welcome your return anytime."

Qian Jiujiu sneered as she directed her gaze at Mu Yexiao, expressing her grievances. "Your Highness, I was placed in a dangerous situation just now. That bowl of soup was initially mine."

"But I found that elder cousin sister kept staring at the bowl of soup so I thought she wanted to drink it so badly. Hence, I granted the bowl of soup to her. Who knows this has resulted in her embarrassing herself."

"Your Highness, someone is trying to harm me. You need to bring justice to me."

Qian Yuge was furious due to Qian Jiujiu. I'm the one experiencing the embarrassment. Now Qian Jiujiu is claiming to be wronged. This is too outrageous!

Mu Yexiao showed an expression resembling a smile at Qian Jiujiu. Then, he burst out in fury. "Minister Qian, what do you mean by that?"

Minister Qian kneeled down immediately as he looked fixedly at Mu Yexiao. "Calm down, Your Highness. I'm in the midst of investigating this matter."

Qian Jiujiu shot a glance at Hong Ling. "Hong Ling, go with him. I want to know the results after the investigation."

"At your command."

After replying to Qian Jiujiu, Hong Ling left with others. Seeing the figure of Hong Ling, Qian Yuge swallowed back her words.

Lord Xiao was infuriated so Minister Qian could not bear to delay the investigation. He ordered people to investigate this matter very quickly. However, the results of the investigation caught everyone off guard.

Hong Ling came out after a while. "Your Highness, Princess Consort, the poison was added by this lady. I have asked someone to check with the drugstore and they have taken the witness here with them in no time.

The lady who was brought out by Hong Ling was none other than the senior servant of Qian Yuge, Jade. Qian Yuge's expression on the face turned extremely hideous. For sure she knew that the poison was purchased by Jade.
