Chun Ying picked up the pastries on the ground as the princess instructed, and put her hand on the cook's mouth.

The cook kept shaking his body backwards, and Mama Feng controlled the cook's body that kept retreating behind him.

Fear appeared in the cook's eyes, he broke free from Mama Feng's control, shook off the pastry that Chun Ying had brought to his mouth with both hands, and kept kowtowing to Wanqing,

"Princess, spare the minions, the minions are also forced! If the minions don't do this, they will take the minions' lives, and the minions are forced to do so! ”

Chun Ying glanced at the princess behind her, and the princess didn't seem to have any intention in her eyes to continue, she got up and stepped aside, listening to the cook explain everything one by one,

"That day the slave was cleaning up in the kitchen, and a man who looked like a eunuch found the slave, but the slave recognized that he was not a real eunuch, maybe a fake eunuch, because his voice was deliberately pretended, and he stuffed a bag of things into the slave's hand, and told the slave to put poison in the princess's food, and it could not be found by others, the slave was always worried, and he was very scared, so he wanted to refuse him, but he forced a knife on the slave's neck, if he didn't do it, then he first took the slave's life, in order to save his life, This is the only way a minion can be! The slave prepared everything, and then waited for the princess to pass the meal, and what happened next is what you saw, and I hope the princess will find out? Spare the minions' dogs! ”

The cook told everything from beginning to end.

Wanqing knew in her heart that this cook was just being coerced and lured by others, Wanqing looked at the cook who was kneeling on the ground, looking up and down.

"Do you know who sent you to poison me?"

Wanqing's voice was like cold broken jade, and the cook's body on the ground couldn't help but tremble for a moment, and then replied tremblingly,

"It's His Royal Highness the Crown Prince! It was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who sent someone to inform the minions,"

Wan Qing looked at the cook coldly, his eyes dodged, and his tone was weak when he spoke, he must have not told the truth.

"Still telling the truth? Do you think I really won't do anything to you? ”

"What the minions said is true! Princess, you must believe in the minions! The minions don't dare to hide from you, princess! ”

Wan Qing snorted coldly, she really didn't cry when she saw the coffin,

"Mama, slap your mouth, hit him until he says it."

"Yes!"

Mama Feng dragged the cook lying on the ground up, holding his collar with one hand and raising the other, and then the sound of the palm echoed in the room, and the palace maids guarding the door couldn't help but shrink their heads when they heard this voice.

After all, Mama Feng has practiced martial arts, and the strength in her hands is greater than that of the palace maids, and the chef was beaten by her, and she couldn't even beg for mercy.

"Still won't say?"

Wanqing's voice sounded again, and Mama Feng stopped what she was doing and retreated to the cook's side.

The cook's cheeks have been swollen from beating, and he is stumbling.

"The slave said, the slave said, it was the man who asked me to say it, saying that if the princess found out and was asked, let the slave not admit it, if it was really impossible to hide, then it was said that the prince instructed it."

"Really?"

Wan Qinghu looked at him suspiciously, and the cook saw that the princess still didn't believe what he said,

"What the princess slave said is true! It's all true this time, princess, you have to trust the minions! The minions don't want to die yet! ”

Wanqing naturally believed what he said the second time, and she waved her hand to signal Mama Feng to take the cook down.

Mama Feng raised her hand and pulled the cook out.

According to the cook, this person must not be the prince, except for the prince, she is the only one? Wanqing didn't know what the empress's plan was? If she wants to harm herself, why should she help herself?

If the empress wants her to die, she will naturally ignore her, why should she keep helping her.

Many mysteries lingered in Wanqing's mind.

Chunying naturally knew the meaning of the cook's words just now, and she was also curious why the empress wanted to poison the princess? Or does she have to do it if she wants the princess to die?

Thinking of this, Chun Ying seemed to think of something, her eyes lit up, and she said to the princess,

"Princess, the slave maid knows that there is a person who may know something."

Wanqing looked at Chunying, as if she was puzzled by her words,

Chunying saw that the princess didn't understand what she meant, so she explained,

"The slave knows that there is a very old grandmother in the palace, she has been in the palace for decades, maybe she ......"

Chun Ying's words didn't come out, because she knew that the princess had understood what she meant.

Wanqing knows that this grandma may be the key, and her current body is inconvenient to go too far.

"Where's that old woman?"

Chun Ying pondered for a while,

"The last time the slave saw her, she was managing and teaching the grandmothers, so that she could teach the royal children etiquette."

"Far from here in the main palace?"

Wanqing's desire for the truth is growing.

Chun Ying shook her head,

"Not far, if you walk past the time of a tea at most."

Wanqing thought for a moment and then stood up.

Chunying hurriedly stepped forward to help,

"Do you still have to wait for Mama Feng?"

"No, let's go."

Chunying helped Wanqing out of the dormitory and walked towards the palace on the other side.

Chunxi helped Wanqing and came to the palace where the old grandmother was, which was full of some old grandmothers, who were responsible for pushing palace maids to various palaces.

When the grandmothers saw the princess coming, they all greeted her.

"I've seen the princess."

Wanqing raised her hand and motioned for them to get up,

"Old Mama is there?"

After listening to the princess's question, one of the grandmothers stood up and said respectfully,

"The old lady is in the room, and the old slave will take you in."

Wanqing followed Mama towards the room, leaving Chunying to stay outside.

Wanqing followed Mama into the room, and an old man with an old man sitting on a chair was sipping tea.

Mama walked over, her face was full of respect, and she whispered in the old mama's ear,

"Old mama, the princess is here."

The old lady seemed to be old, and she had some ears behind her ears, she turned her head to look at the grandmother,

Mama accentuated her voice again, and whispered in her ear,

"Old mama, the princess is here!"

The old lady looked ahead, the first time she saw Wanqing, the old lady's eyes became a little cloudy, she slowly stood up from the chair, her teeth had all fallen out, she walked to Wanqing's side, wanted to give a salute, but was stopped by Wanqing,

"Old mamma, let's sit down, this palace ......"

The old lady took Wanqing's hand, and the expression on her face was to ask Wanqing not to say it first,

She took Wanqing's hand and sat down, her eyes never left Wanqing's body,

"The princess really looks like your mother, and the old slave has no regrets when he sees the princess again."

The old lady's voice was a little choked, she knew the purpose of the princess's visit to her this time,

"Old mama, do you know why Wanqing came?"

The old lady nodded,

"The first time the old slave saw the princess, he already knew the princess's intentions, it was all bad fate, bad fate!"

The old grandmother kept reading the word 'evil fate', it seems that there must be something going on in this, Wanqing listened to the old grandmother's words, and the desire for the truth in her heart became more urgent.

"Old mama, Wanqing wants to know ......"

Before Wanqing's words were finished, she was interrupted by the old grandmother raising her hand, she looked at Wanqing lovingly, as if she saw her mother's shadow from Wanqing's body,

"It's a long story, princess, don't worry, listen to the old slave tell you from the beginning."

The old lady picked up the teacup, put it to her lips and took a sip, she raised her head, the expression on her face became a little depressed, as if she was recalling the past, a little sad,

She was silent for a long time before she spoke slowly.

"Forty years ago, two daughters were born in Feng Yi's General's Mansion, and on the day the two daughters were born, hundreds of birds sang in the sky above the General's Mansion, as if they were welcoming the birth of the phoenix."

The old lady said this, and paused, as if remembering the spectacular scene of the day.

"The child in the womb of the general's main room was born in the side room first, and the two were all girls, everyone said that one of the two children must be the queen of Fengyi, and the general was happy for the two daughters, with the shuttle of time, the two girls reached the age of Ji Lu in a blink of an eye, and the concubine is the current empress, and the concubine is your mother."
