The second prince looked at the maid who spoke in confusion.

The maid in pink took the opportunity to give him a look.

The second prince suddenly thought. This palace maid has always been his favorite. She is usually clever and smart, and she is the interpreter who understands him best.

 Could it be that she took advantage of the chaos just now and dealt with the pufferfish meal?

He was suspicious, but with the emperor nearby, he couldn't ask.

“There is no pufferfish in Jinghua Palace? Miss Ling, is it possible that your hexagram calculations are not accurate?”

 “Queen, the divination of the daughter of the people is correct.”

The palace maid in pink glanced at Concubine An, and her mind was racing.

  Although the second prince dotes on him, he is just greedy for her body. After a few days, when you get tired of it, you will discard it like a piece of shit.

If she helped the second prince avoid what happened today, there would be no way Concubine An would ask the second prince to give her a title.

After making up her mind, the palace maid in pink said again, "Your Majesty, there is no puffer fish in Jinghua Palace, and the second prince will not take the risk of eating it knowing that it is poisonous."

The emperor glanced at the maid and waved his hand to Mr. An.

 Eunuch An turned around and entered the palace.

Facing the large table of rich meals, I identified each item one by one.

 The Queen winked at Aunt Gui beside her.

The nanny immediately led the people straight to the imperial dining room of Jinghua Palace.

Not long after, Mr. An walked out of the palace, waving a fly whisk.

The Queen took a look at Mr. An, but didn't see anything on his face.

 As the chief eunuch, naturally he would not let others see his inner thoughts easily.

He said respectfully, "Reporting to the emperor, there is no puffer fish in the second prince's meal."

 The second prince felt happy and glanced at the pink-clad palace maid with admiration.

Concubine An's hanging heart was half relieved.

Not long after, Grandma Gui led the people back.

 Looking at her face, the queen's heart sank.

Concubine An was relieved.

"Your Majesty, Mu'er has always been filial and obedient, how could he do anything with his own body?" He glanced at Ling Chu with contempt, "It seems that Miss Ling has not mastered the mystical arts. She has been with Master Xuan Yi for many years, but she has fallen in love. I got the name of your master.”

 The queen's face was sullen, and her heart was full of disappointment and anger towards Ling Chu.

Lingchu ignored Concubine An's sarcasm.

“Your Majesty, can a daughter of the people give a hammer to the Jinghua Palace?”

The emperor frowned slightly, not understanding what she meant for a moment.

A smile flashed in Ning Chuyi's eyes.

Wei Feng on the side gave a thumbs up in his mind.

 The second prince couldn't help but change his face when he remembered what Ling Chu had smashed with a hammer in the Jinxiu Yuzhen Workshop.

 “Bold, do you know where this place is!”

Ling Chu led people to break into Jinghua Palace, and the emperor saw the second prince fooling around with the palace maids in broad daylight. Concubine An wanted to kill her with a stick.

 Such a great opportunity, how could she miss it?

While the second prince was speaking, he also shouted sharply, "How dare you, this is the palace, how can you be allowed to do whatever you want!"

 The emperor was suspicious by nature, and the nervousness of the second prince could be seen at a glance.

Ling Chu glanced at Concubine An and said nothing.

 But he took out the small hammer from his sleeve pocket.

"Your Majesty, I will only hit you once, and I promise not to hit you more."

The emperor looked at the small and delicate hammer in her hand.

 After a long while, he nodded.

“I will make an exception today and allow you to smash it.”

The second prince's heart sank. He knew that his reaction just now meant that the emperor must have been suspicious.

Concubine An still wanted to stop her, but the emperor looked worried. She could only swallow her words for fear that it would be counterproductive. With the emperor's permission, Ling Chu immediately went to the dining room.

Ning Chuyi silently raised his heels.

 The second prince was anxious, but he did not dare to make any move in front of the emperor.

The people in the imperial dining room all stared at Ling Chu unkindly, wanting to kick her out.

 I just didn’t expect that the emperor would also come.

Three royal chefs and a dozen kitchen servants were anxious to salute the emperor.

 The chief chef, the chef, saw Ling Chu looking around and felt uneasy.

He said bravely, "There is no puffer fish in our dining room. Aunt Gui has already checked it before."

 “Really?”

Yu Chu was already feeling uneasy, but when he saw Ling Chu's dark eyes, he was even more shocked.

 But in an instant, she despised herself again. She was just a little girl, what was there to be afraid of?

“Girl, if you don’t believe it, you can check it yourself.”

As soon as Yu Chu finished speaking, Ling Chu waved his hand and hit the right wall with the small hammer.

The imperial chef's expression changed drastically. When he saw clearly that it was just a small and exquisite hammer, he quickly breathed a sigh of relief.

  It was only that breath that was halfway relieved. When I saw the collapsed secret door, my legs immediately went weak.

There are many people in the imperial dining room at the moment, but it is so quiet that you can hear a pin drop.

 Mother Gui and the maid beside her looked surprised.

They searched the dining room for a long time, but they didn't find a secret door in the wall.

 The chef and the handymen were kneeling on the ground, their faces ashen.

Concubine An and the second prince stared at Ling Chu, wishing they could eat her alive.

The Queen gave Aunt Gui a wink.

 Mother Gui immediately led people into the darkroom.

 Soon two palace maids came out carrying a large wooden barrel.

There were two pufferfish in the barrel, still alive, and they looked like they had just been brought into the palace.

Nanny Gui and another palace maid brought out a large wooden basin with ice cubes in it and three puffer fish frozen on top.

The palace maid who came out at the end was holding a large lotus leaf, which contained the eyes, skin and internal organs of the puffer fish.

The emperor's face is as black as ink.

Regardless of the pain in his feet, the second prince rushed over and kicked the leading chef, "You bitch, you are so brave. You dare to secretly eat pufferfish without telling me."

The imperial chef subconsciously wanted to defend himself, but when he saw Concubine An's sharp eyes, he could only kowtow to the emperor, "Your Majesty, the little one deserves to die. These puffer fish have nothing to do with the second prince. They were secretly bought and eaten by the little one."

Ling Chu suddenly said to the imperial cook, "Who did you kill with pufferfish poison? Why don't you recruit him for real!"

The imperial chef was speechless. The second prince did not go to the banquet, and naturally neither did the people waiting around him.

The imperial chef didn't know at all that Princess Dingyuan and the others were poisoned.

The second prince glared at Ling Chu secretly, limped forward and knelt down, "Please tell me from my father, I don't know that the imperial chef secretly eats puffer fish.

 My son is not strict with his subordinates, so I beg my father to punish me. "

 The emperor lowered his eyes and looked at the second prince, a flash of disappointment flashing in his heart.

Without his permission, even if the imperial chef had a hundred courage, he would not dare to secretly eat puffer fish.

"Your Majesty, please calm down. I will definitely let Mu'er follow the Tutor to learn how to serve as a servant."

Although Concubine An was a little uneasy, she didn't have much fear in her heart.

Although the second prince's secret consumption of puffer fish violated palace rules, in the final analysis it was just a matter of greed, and it was not a serious crime of treason. It was not a big mistake.

 The emperor was angry because he was afraid that the second prince would be accidentally poisoned.

“Get up, your leg is still injured, wait until the hospital comes and let him take a good look at it.”

 The second prince felt relieved, knowing that today's matter was over.

Ling Chu watched with cold eyes as a ghost filled with resentment rushed towards the second prince.
