Jiang Ning smiled, “You should ask your Prince about that.”

“What?” Li Teng was puzzled.

“That plate of osmanthus cakes was eaten by my subordinates; several got sick, one died.” Li Hongyuan said calmly, “Li Yuanyuan, I believe you’re not foolish enough to try to poison my heir.”

Li Teng’s face changed drastically, and he knelt down, weeping. “Your Highness, please investigate. If I had even a bit of such a rebellious idea, I wouldn’t have a good end. When I heard the Princess Consort was pregnant, I was overjoyed for you. How could I have such a damnable thought? I have been following you for years. I am the most timid person and would never dare to do such a thing.”

There was a crisp sound.

Li Hongyuan looked towards the source.

It was Jiang Ning cracking melon seeds.

When she saw him looking, she raised her hand, “Would you like some, Your Highness?”

Li Hongyuan ignored her, turned his gaze to Li Yuanyuan.

“You should explain these words to the deceased Housekeeper.”

“I’m really wronged!” Li Yuanyuan wept, “These days, I came to pay my respects to the Princess Consort. I know there’s no shortage of food here. But Madam Zhao sent a small jar of osmanthus honey, saying that she made it by picking osmanthus flowers herself. I thought the honey looked clear and really good, so I sent it over. If I had any intention of harming the Princess Consort and Little Master, I deserve to be torn into pieces.”

Li Hongyuan was about to speak, but then he heard another crisp sound.

He looked at Jiang Ning.

She was holding half a watermelon, eating it with a silver spoon.

She was full of interest.

There was no trace of her pitiful, tearful eyes.

Li Hongyuan said, “Are you that hungry?”

“After all, it’s two people eating.”

“… Keep your voice down!”

“Alright.” Jiang Ning smiled at him, “Continue.”

She handed the watermelon to Huang Ying. “The melon is sweet, and the drama is not bad either.”

Li Hongyuan said coldly, “What are you muttering?”

“I said the watermelon is delicious.”

Li Hongyuan ignored her and ordered the housekeeper, “Go and bring Ms. Zhao here.” contemporary romance

Soon Madam Zhao arrived.

She knelt and saluted, then glanced at Jiang Ning, who was vigorously eating melon seeds. Feeling a little uneasy, she looked at Li Yuanyuan subconsciously.

Li Yuanyuan said, “Madam Zhao, is there a problem with the osmanthus honey you gave me?”

“How could that be possible?”

“Your Highness, please investigate!” Li Yuanyuan kowtowed. “I still have some leftover cakes. Why not have the doctor examine them and see where the problem lies? If it’s my fault, I’ll take the blame. If it’s not, I won’t admit it, even if it kills me.”

“Test them.” Jiang Ning encouraged while eating seeds.

Li Hongyuan glared at her but didn’t find her eating seeds annoying.

However, her look of watching drama was somewhat displeasing.

Just test it then.

Doctors and cakes arrived.

He also asked the housekeeper to go to Madam Zhao’s place and get the remaining osmanthus honey.

Soon it was discovered that the honey was poisonous.

Madam Zhao immediately waved her hands, “No, it’s not me. I didn’t make this osmanthus honey. I had someone buy it from outside. Your Highness, I am wronged!”

Li Hongyuan asked calmly, “Where did you buy it?”

“It was an old lady who bought it for me.”

“Didn’t you say it was made from osmanthus flowers you picked yourself?” Li Yuanyuan was somewhat angry. “You tricked me? I was wondering why you would kindly give me osmanthus honey! So you were harboring malicious intentions!”

“I have no malicious intentions. I just wanted to…please you.”

“Pleasing me with what?”
