The palace's supplements such as Ganoderma lucidum, snow lotus, deer antlers and ginseng were all placed in one place. Four warehouses formed a square. One of the warehouses contained these supplements. The prince and his people were waiting outside the warehouse and asked his servants to carry two bags of Ganoderma lucidum out.
, fell on the bluestone outside the yard, Ganoderma lucidum scattered on the ground, the doctor checked one by one. After the princess received the news, she came over with Ju Qing and Zhu Qing. Although the prince was furious, he also considered that the princess was still in good health, so he asked
She went back to rest and left these trivial matters to Buhui.
The princess said, "It's okay. I don't regret that it's my first time to be in charge of the house. It's inevitable that something will happen. I'm here to watch. I'll teach her to be more cautious in the future."
The prince nodded and did not stop the princess. The doctor checked all the Ganoderma lucidum and reported back to the prince, "Some of these Ganoderma lucidum contain toxins. It seems that a batch of Ganoderma lucidum contains poisonous Ganoderma lucidum."
The prince angrily pointed at the batch of Ganoderma lucidum and asked Yun Buhui, "What's going on? Why did you purchase a batch of poisonous Ganoderma lucidum? Why didn't you have someone carefully inspect it?"
Yun Buhui was hard pressed to argue. After she took charge, Concubine Yun was always responsible for purchasing in the mansion. However, Concubine Yun did not purchase Ganoderma lucidum recently. This batch of Ganoderma was purchased by the Princess when she was in charge. In other words, the responsibility lies with the Princess.
But how could she say it clearly?
Concubine Li said, "Oh my god, if you take this poisonous Ganoderma lucidum, wouldn't it be possible for someone with a weaker body to die? Sister Yun was really in danger and almost lost her life."
Yun Buhui knelt down and said, "Father, please calm down. It's my daughter-in-law's negligence. When purchasing Ganoderma in the mansion, I always buy Ganoderma lucidum and store it in the warehouse. A layman can't tell whether Ganoderma lucidum is genuine or fake, nor can it be seen that Ganoderma lucidum has toxins. The Ganoderma lucidum in the mansion is
, snow lotus and velvet antlers are purchased from regular trading houses, and there have never been any problems with the Ganoderma lucidum they provide. This time I added poisonous Ganoderma lucidum, and I really didn’t expect it. My father, please forgive me, but my daughter-in-law was negligent and almost caused harm.
Aunt Yun, I know I made a mistake and am willing to accept the punishment."
The princess narrowed her eyes. She naturally knew what was going on. She had always been responsible for the purchases in the palace, which were provided by Lin's Trading Company. This was her family's trading firm with an excellent reputation. It had provided supplements to the palace for more than ten years, and it had never appeared before.
The matter of the poisonous Ganoderma lucidum is probably not that simple. Where did this poisonous Ganoderma lucidum come from? I'm afraid it needs to be thoroughly investigated. Now that Yun Buhui has taken all the charges, the princess is gambling. Just with this face, the prince
I will not give up heavy punishment without regret.
Cheng Mubai said, "Father, please calm down. The affairs in the palace are many and complicated. It is common for you not to regret occasional negligence. Moreover, Ganoderma lucidum is poisonous. Even if it is held in front of her, she will not be able to tell. This is an accident. Please, Father."
A light punishment but no regrets, let her remember this lesson and be more cautious in the future."
The prince's anger had gradually subsided, but thinking of Concubine Yun's sallow face and haggard appearance, he became angry again. If he had discovered it late, it would have almost killed her. If this caused a catastrophe, who could afford to take one life?
Responsibility.
Yuzhi also begged for mercy, and Lou Yanran said, "Father, as far as my daughter-in-law knows, if she doesn't regret her decision, the purchasing power of the mansion will be handed over to her mother. But my mother has never purchased any Ganoderma lucidum. The Ganoderma lucidum in the mansion already exists."
, the newly purchased Ganoderma lucidum has not been delivered yet. This was something Buhui had done beforehand. How could her father blame Buhui? She couldn't check all the items in the warehouse one by one. She just wanted to check the number. There was no poison.
How can she tell the difference between poison and the responsibility does not lie with her."
Yun Buhui raised his eyes, his cold and sharp eyes were directed at Lou Yanran, and his fingertips were slightly folded. Lou Yanran's words were clearly to push the princess out, and the prince understood the reason after thinking about it for a moment.
Concubine Jade hesitated to speak. In the end, she might have felt that she was speaking lightly and did not say anything. Cheng Mudong said, "Father, no one can blame you for this. Who would have thought that Ganoderma lucidum is poisonous? Maybe I was not careful when picking it and did not examine it carefully." I don’t know, it was an accident if something happened.”
"Third Young Master said it lightly. It was an accident. If this is an accidental death, it is considered an accident, but it does not mean that he died unjustly." Concubine Li said in a sharp voice, and Lou Yanran said, "What Aunt Li said is true. Mother is like this." Once he was really unjustly accused and almost lost his life."
Lou Yanran didn't seem to feel Yun Buhui's cold gaze, nor Cheng Mubai's indifference, and said calmly, "Father, the purchase of Ganoderma lucidum in the mansion has always come from the Lin Family Trading Company, and the Lin Family Trading Company is the Princess's natal trading firm. If anyone If you disregard the safety of your family members for personal gain, then..."
She stopped talking and did not finish her sentence, but the implication was very obvious. The prince was startled for a moment, suddenly thought of something, and looked at the princess with sharp eyes. The indifference in her eyes shattered the warmth of the past few days into pieces.
Over the years, the princess has experienced more than once what it means to be heartbroken. The feelings that had turned to ashes in her heart slowly revived, only to be extinguished by cold water again. There is no greater sadness than heartbreak, and that's all.
But even so, she still straightened her back in front of her children and the prince.
The prince asked, "What do you have to say?"
"If you really doubt me." The princess smiled bitterly, "I just want to ask you, after all these years of being married to you, have I ever done anything that hurt you and everyone else? What mistakes and omissions have I made in all these years of being in charge? If I had the intention to cause innocent people to suffer, the situation would not be like this today."
The princess was blessed with a sad look, "Having said this, maybe my fate with you has ended long ago, so there is no trust between us, and I am tired. Let's go back to Dongyuan. If the prince punishes us, I will There is no need to come in person, just let the steward know. If nothing happens in the future, the prince does not need to come to Dongyuan again. You and I have nothing to say."
After the princess finished speaking, she bowed respectfully and left proudly. Yun Buhui's eyes suddenly turned red, and he looked at her thin figure with tears in his eyes as she walked away.
There was silence all around. Neither Concubine Li nor Concubine Yu thought that the princess, who had always been gentle and polite to the prince, would say such harsh words. To be fair, the princess has never done anything to hurt anyone in these years, and she has never done anything to harm the prince. The heir also loved her and had no intention of harming her. She only wanted the prince's tenderness and nothing else. But now she said that the prince didn't need to go to Dongyuan if he had nothing to do. She thought she was heartbroken.
Yes, who wouldn’t be heartbroken to be questioned like this by the person next to him?
The prince stood expressionless, his eyes extremely sinister.
For so many years, his wife, the dignified and courteous princess, who had been obedient to him for so many years, actually said such stern words, with a tone without any grievance or complaint, so plain, as if she was really heartbroken.
How many years have we not seen her with such a strong backbone?
The atmosphere was tense for a moment.
