Ruyi's Rebirth: Ruyi's Disease Retreat Retreat

Chapter 189 Gao Xiyue sets up a trap; Yipin pretends to be stupid

As they were talking, Wei Yingning also came back.

"Master, I've checked and found that the eunuch who delivered the food is new. It will take some time to check his background."

Gao Xiyue nodded: "Okay, ask someone to keep an eye on him. I want to know all his actions."

Wei Yingning: "I've already left someone there to watch over it."

Jiang Yebin said, "If I can get that kind of mushroom, I can confirm it."

Gao Xiyue: "Okay, come and check my pulse tomorrow, and I'll find a way to get it for you."

At lunch the next day, the same eunuch from yesterday brought Yonghuang food. Yonghuang asked, "Why are there fried mushrooms again?"

The young eunuch said, "I am following the orders of the eldest prince and Concubine Hui. Please don't make things difficult for me, okay?"

Yonghuang pushed the plate of fried mushrooms aside. He resisted the urge to eat a single bite.

Yongqi leaned over and asked, "Brother, why did you add an extra dish? But you don't want to eat it?"

Yonghuang pursed his lips and said, "Well, even if it tastes good, you can't keep eating it. Empress Hui said that we should be content and be happy."

Yongqi nodded: "Oh."

The young eunuch became anxious when he saw Yonghuang refused to eat the mushrooms. He stepped forward and said, "Big brother, if you don't eat them, Concubine Hui will blame me."

Yonghuang looked at the fried mushrooms and asked him, "Why do you insist on me eating them? Is there poison in them?"

The young eunuch immediately knelt down and said, "Oh my Lord, how could this be possible? I am afraid that you will blame me."

Yonghuang: "But I am the prince and your master. I don't want to eat anymore. Take it away." After he said that, he turned around and went back to his seat to review his lessons.

Seeing this, the young eunuch frowned and took the food plate away.

Lian Ye saw him coming back at the door of the imperial kitchen and signaled him to go aside.

"How about it?"

The young eunuch shook his head: "He didn't eat a single bite of the mushrooms today."

Lian Ye: "What? What happened? Are you exposed?"

As the two were talking, a net fell from the sky and caught the two men.

It was Gao Xiyue and his men who were waiting for the two of them to fall into the trap.

"Shuangxi, tie them both up and follow me to see the emperor."

In the Yangxin Palace, Hongli looked at the fried mushrooms on the plate and overturned the plate in front of the two men.

"Li Yu, go feed this to them. I want to see what happens after they eat it."

Li Yu, along with Jinzhong, Jinbao and a group of young eunuchs, held the two men down and stuffed poisonous mushrooms into their mouths.

Gao Xiyue said: "Your Majesty, these two servants must have done this under someone's instructions."

Hongli nodded: "I will investigate thoroughly. Yuhu, go and invite Concubine Yi here."

When Concubine Yi walked into the Yangxin Palace and saw the two people kneeling, she knew that the emperor had called her in to hold them accountable.

"Your Majesty, may Concubine Hui be well."

Hongli: "Get up." He pointed at Lianye and asked Yipin: "She is your maid, right?"

Concubine Yi nodded: "Yes, she was assigned to me by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Her name is Lian Ye. What happened to her?"

Gao Xiyue curled the corners of her lips: "What's wrong? You still have the nerve to ask?"

Yipin pinched her handkerchief with an innocent look on her face: "What do you mean, Concubine Hui? She is in my palace, but she is usually very well-behaved. I really don't know what happened." She felt more and more aggrieved as she spoke, and was about to cry.

Hongli: "You really don't know that someone in your palace is poisoning the prince?"

Concubine Yi exclaimed, "What? Lianye, you actually dared to harm the prince? Your Majesty, I truly had no idea. She is usually diligent in her work, and I truly had no idea she would harbor such thoughts."

"Okay, what are you crying about?"
