Chapter 1215: How Could It Be You?

An Xue Tang in order to provoke a reaction from her and expose some little scoundrels lurking in the tavern.Right now, he did indeed find out. They hadn't encountered any danger along the way, and he...Shour also saw, the two looked at each other, and then Ning'er threw the orange in her hand aside.

Shuangshuang, seeing this, immediately cried out, "Sister Ning'er, you...how could you throw it away This was for the Princess Consort to eat!"

Ning'er remained expressionless. In reality, she wanted to control Shuangshuang, but the Princess gave her a look, signaling her to do nothing.

An Xuetang saw Shuangshuang was very excited, she raised her hand and rubbed Shuangshuang's head, "Don't worry, Sister Ning just heard the noise outside and thought it might be a bad person, so she subconsciously threw away what she was holding."

Shuangshuang pursed her lips, clearly not convinced by An Xuetang's explanation. Right now, she had a somewhat wronged and pitiful look in her eyes, staring straight at Ning'er as if waiting for an explanation from her.

Ninger was not good at such occasions, but seeing their Empress's face, she still nodded, "Shuangshuang, I'm sorry. Just now, my sister thought there was something wrong outside the door. She subconsciously grabbed the thing in her hand and rushed out as a weapon. I'm sorry."

Shuangshuang was also innocent. After hearing Ninger explain in person, she immediately believed her and nodded, "Then I'll forgive my elder sister this time. Elder sister, you can't do this again next time. Those oranges were meant for the princess."

Ninger nodded slightly, she was still expressionless, which was good because she had always been like that, so Shuangshuang didn't think too much about it.

She still wanted to take the oranges from the basket and continue peeling them for An Xuetang when Shou'er suddenly said, "Oh, I suddenly remember, Shuangshuang, these oranges seem to only be edible as a result of a meal. If you eat them on an empty stomach, it will hurt your body."

"...“ Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Shuangshuang's hands immediately froze in mid-air. Her eyes, wide with astonishment, darted to Shou'er. "Sister Shou'er, are you serious This thing... will it be harmful to the Princess's body if she eats it"

Speaking and speaking, Shuangshuang’s eyes turned red instantly. She believed Shou'er’s words and quickly looked at An Xuetang:

"Your Highness, I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry. Shuangshuang didn't know this thing was harmful to the body. Really, if Shuangshuang had known it was harmful, she would never have brought it before Your Highness, and she wouldn't have let You Highness eat it."

Shou'er saw that she was so anxious that she started to cry. She quickly said, "Shuangshuang, please calm down first. You misunderstood me. I just heard about it. Whether it is really harmful or not, you need to ask someone who knows more about it."

Having finished, Shou'er glanced at her own princess. Seeing that she showed no intention of objecting, she continued:

"I see, this orange was given to you. That person should know about it. I'll go with you to ask them. The princess wants to eat it so much, but we don't know if it's suitable for her. For the princess's sake, let's go and ask clearly, okay"

"Okay, let's go ask and find out together," said Shuangshuang repeatedly nodding her head.

She nervously looked at An Xuetang, "Your Highness, you mustn't eat before Shuangshuang finds out the truth."

An Xuetang curled her lips into a smile, "Okay, I'll listen to you all. You say I can eat and I'll eat."

Hearing this, Shuangshuang finally felt relieved. She anxiously pulled Shou'er towards the door and said, "Shou'er, let's go find out what's going on quickly."

As Shou'er followed her away, she kept glancing back at An Xue Tang.

An Xuetang knew Shou'er was going to find out who gave Shuangshuang those oranges.

So, she slightly nodded to Shou'er.

Only then did Shou'er follow Shuangshuang away with peace of mind.

……

As Shuangshuang and Shou'er disappeared from the scene in Jingtang Garden, An Xuetang's expression changed. She lowered her head to look at the things in the basket and reached out to take one.

Ning'er, quick as a flash, snatched the basket away. "These oranges are poisonous, Your Highness. It would be best not to touch them."

In the meantime, she immediately inspected the remaining oranges and sure enough, they were poisonous.

However, these poisons are not fatal. They are colorless and odorless. If you accidentally ingest them, they will not be fatal, but they can leave you feeling weak all over for several hours.

Ning'er reported the toxicity to An Xue Tang, then frowned and asked, "The Princess didn't let me control Shuangshuang, she thinks this matter wasn't done by Shuangshuang. Do you believe Shuangshuang is innocent"

An Xue Tang nodded slightly, "It shouldn't be her. She has no reason to do that, and I believe in my sixth sense; she was being used."

What puzzled her now was that everyone who could have contact with Shuangshuang should be someone trustworthy within the palace, so how could such a thing happen

Who will ultimately utilize the double doubles

As for this point, Ning'er and the others couldn't figure it out either.

Kang'er glanced at Feng Ming on the bed, and suddenly sighed, "The days surrounding the Princess have been truly turbulent recently. If the Valley Master were awake, he would certainly help the Princess solve everything."

Ning'er rarely glared at her.

Clearly, the Princess Mingming was still bothered by the fact that their Valley Master hadn't woken up. For Kang'er to say such things in front of the Princess at this moment was simply audacious.

Kang'er also regretted it immediately after saying it. After being glared at by Ning'er, she quickly apologized to An Xue Tang, "Your Highness, I'm sorry, slave..."

"An Xuetang shook her head slightly, "It's alright, you're right. If my brother was awake right now, how could he let so many people come and dance around in front of me"

Kanger pursed her lips, looked at Ning'er with guilt, feeling a bit lost. It seemed like her words had stirred up the Princess's sadness, and she didn't know how to comfort her.

Ninger fell silent for a moment before placing the basket in her hand aside. "Does Your Highness suspect anyone"

"To be honest, I haven't found anything. We've investigated everyone left in the manor, and we couldn't find any problems. Those who Shuangshuang could have come into contact with are even more trustworthy—they are all loyal to the manor. I really don't want to suspect them."

Ning'er nodded slightly, "Besides, Shuangshuang hasn't left the mansion these days."

This is also why she subconsciously suspected Shuangshuang after confirming the poison in the oranges, and immediately wanted to control her.

Because in her opinion, the people in the palace couldn't possibly have more traitors. Under these circumstances, the only one who would be suspicious was Shuangshuang.

And she had always been suspicious of ShuangShuang's origins, although the Princess and Prince both believed that ShuangShuang was most likely a child born to the former Empress.

But she always had her doubts about it. She didn't believe that Shuai Shuai was truly hidden away in the cold palace and could have lived through all these years safely.

Only because the princess believed Shuangshuang, and she couldn't convince the princess without any evidence.

So he never told the queen his thoughts.

At this point, An Xuetang shook her head. "Let's wait for Shou'er's news. We're just guessing here and we probably won't figure anything out."

Ning'er and Kang'er nodded slightly.

After a while, Shou'er and Shuangshuang came back, followed by someone who even An Xuetang found unbelievable.

An Xuetang was stunned halfway through, "You... how could it be you"n is the child born by Mother""An Xuetang shook her head helplessly, "Ajing, I'm sorry, this... there's nothing I can do. Under these circumstances, I really can't prove that she's your sister."This w...
