Concubine Nan was already prepared and clapped her hands gently.

The maids following Concubine Nan took a step forward and took out a plate of pastries that had been prepared long ago.

"I made casual inquiries before and learned that the princess's favorite food is hibiscus cake, so I specially asked the palace to prepare one. However, I added some harmless ingredients to my hibiscus cake."

A palace maid placed a snow-white cat in Nan Fei's arms, and the smile on Nan Fei's lips became stronger.

"A discerning person should be able to see what is placed next to this plate. A normal person would never eat such a plate of pastries, but a fool is different."

She raised her eyebrows and looked at Concubine Shu: "Sister, I am using this as a test. Do you have any objections?"

Concubine Shu frowned and said nothing for a while. Her eyes were calm, as if she was thinking about something.

Mo Wuyun narrowed his eyes and said, "Nan Fei, are you insulting this prince?"

Concubine Nan quickly said: "Your Highness, the Third Prince, please don't misunderstand me. If the Third Prince and Concubine were not stupid, it would be impossible for her to touch this thing. Even if she did, wouldn't she be able to clear Her Highness's innocence? I am just seeking truth from facts, not having any intentions."

It's not even remotely insulting."

Mo Wuyun was angry, but after taking one look at Wen Yao's appearance, he also blamed her for causing trouble for him.

When Concubine Nan saw Mo Wuyun's reaction, the smile in her eyes grew stronger. She also saw that Mo Wuyun was not interested in the prince's concubine.

Concubine Shu said: "Since even the third prince has agreed, I will send the snacks to the princess."

Someone obeyed the order, and several palace maids walked towards Wen Yao carrying the cakes.

Wen Yao saw everyone's reactions in his eyes and felt chills in his heart.

The cold and ruthless Mo Wuyun, the treacherous and cunning Concubine Nan, and the concubine Shu who only wanted results with a cold eye, these people wanted to force her to a dead end.

Everyone's eyes were all on her, wanting to see Wen Yao's reaction at this moment, and whether she ate the pastry or not today, the outcome would not be much better.

If a princess is humiliated in public and eats cakes smeared with cat feces, it will be a stain that she will never be able to get rid of. Even if she regains her consciousness in the future, some people will use this incident to ridicule her.

If she refuses, it will prove that she is not a fool at all. Not only will her identity be exposed now, but she will also be a criminal who deceives the king. There is a possibility that what awaits her is jail time.

Concubine Nan's skills were really good. She not only removed her suspicions, but also successfully focused everyone's attention on her.

This choice is destined to affect her future ending.

However, she was not one to give up easily. Her eyes were shining brightly, and countless thoughts were already spinning in her mind in a matter of seconds.

"Third Princess, this is your favorite food, please."

Wen Yao lowered his head, with a happy expression still on his face.

Her mind was racing, and she kept thinking of ways to solve it. Now no one could help her, so she had to rely on herself for everything.

The more critical the moment came, the calmer Wen Yao became.

Even though those eyes were all on her, wanting to see her reaction carefully, there was no flaw on her face until now.

Just when Wen Yao was thinking about breaking the plate deliberately to delay, her hand reaching for the pastry was suddenly grabbed by someone, and her hand was tightly restrained on her wrist, preventing her from moving at all.

No one expected that Dongwang would take action at this critical moment.

Seeing this scene, Concubine Shu narrowed her eyes, obviously a little unhappy.

"Dongliu, what are you doing?"

Mo Dongliu's action had hindered everyone present from watching the fun. Concubine Nan even sneered: "Shu Fei, His Highness Dongwang would actually interfere in this matter. Whenever we have affairs in the harem, we have to use foreign ministers."

Are you here to take care of it?"

She was warning Mo Dongliu to interfere in the harem, which was a taboo in the palace.

Concubine Shu also said: "Dongliu, please step back first. This matter has nothing to do with you."

Mo Dongliu laughed, and an evil coldness flashed across his eyes: "I also saw the corpse, how come it has nothing to do with me?"

The palace people immediately lowered their heads and did not dare to say anything, but they saw Mo Dongliu throwing the plate of cakes with his hands behind his back in front of the two Nan Concubine's maids who were kneeling on the ground.

"eat!"

A cold and majestic word came out of Mo Dongliu's mouth. The two maids looked at each other and picked up the plates tremblingly.

They did not dare to disobey the order and stuffed the cake into their mouths with their eyes closed.

"Concubine Nan thinks these two people are fools?"

Concubine Nan didn't know what kind of medicine Mo Dongliu was selling in this gourd, nor did she expect that His Highness Dongwang, who had always been reluctant to interfere with anything, would interfere in a farce in the palace.

It's just that a maid died. Concubine Nan had many ways to blame others. Letting Wen Yao take the blame was just one of them. It was also a warning and provocation from her to the queen.

However, Mo Wuyun, the third prince, didn't even show up to take care of it, so why did Mo Dongliu have to make such a fuss?

"His Royal Highness Dongwang, what you did makes me feel a little strange. I don't understand what kind of shameful relationship you have with this fool..."

Her tone was ambiguous, she raised her eyebrows slightly and smiled.

Mo Wuyun's hand on one side slowly clenched into a fist and said coldly to Mo Dongliu: "Prince Dong, I think you are too idle. Who allowed you to touch my wife?"

Wen Yao looked at the scene of a fight in front of him and was speechless for a moment.

This Mo Wuyun is really interesting. Not only does he bully her, but he also helps others to bully her. Some people say something for her, but they still think that the other person is meddling in her own business.

She likes Mo Dongliu's character of fighting against injustice. Although he is a little cold, he seems to be a good person based on this incident.

Concubine Shu naturally did not allow Concubine Nan to slander her son: "Concubine Nan, this is the palace, and the reputation of His Highness the East King does not allow you to spread rumors."

Concubine Nan knew that was enough, so she stopped talking. She touched the soft fur on the white cat and yawned lazily.

"It's getting late. Since there is no result, I will go back first. Isn't it just that the death of a palace maid is worthy of my sister's fuss?"

Concubine Shu sneered and said, "If she were really an ordinary palace maid, I wouldn't be so fussy, but I only found out not long ago that she was the only witness to the Ninth Prince falling into the lake a few days ago?"

As soon as Concubine Shu said this, Concubine Nan was stunned. She showed a suspicious expression and said, "Is there such a thing?"

As soon as Wen Yao heard this, he basically figured out the cause and effect.

It turns out that the palace maid was also silenced because she saw something she shouldn't have seen in the palace.
