Chapter 1632: Chapter 1624

Empress Feng watched the little fox’s movements, the joy on her face growing stronger.

"Well? Wasn’t I right? This soup has no poison at all."

Her words had barely fallen.

The little fox suddenly let out a squeak, its four limbs went rigid, it flipped onto the ground, and white foam kept spilling from its mouth.

"!"

Empress Feng’s expression changed drastically.

Shi Fei’s face also blanched in shock.

She hadn’t expected Empress Feng to actually be so bold as to directly put poison in the Spiritual Food Soup.

Thankfully Xin Lin appeared in time, or else wouldn’t she have also...

"What a vicious mind, Empress Feng. No matter how much you resent this Madam, you didn’t need to use such a deadly trick. Madam is already living in Taichang Temple, burning incense and worshipping Buddha. With a temper like yours, how are you supposed to be the mother of the realm?"

Xin Lin snorted in contempt.

"This soup is not poisoned. I can guarantee it. That fox—there’s something wrong with that fox."

Empress Feng, still in disbelief, thought for a moment, then pointed at the little fox that was "foaming at the mouth."

"Empress Feng, it’s just a small creature. What could it possibly know? Look at it—its appearance clearly shows it’s been poisoned. You tried to murder this Madam, everyone saw it. If this matter reaches Emperor Longteng, I’m afraid you’ll have a hard time explaining yourself."

Xin Lin slanted a glance at Empress Feng.

The blood had already drained from Empress Feng’s face. frⅇe

These days, Emperor Longteng had been acting somewhat off.

She could hardly see Emperor Longteng anymore.

Perhaps due to the miscarriage, Emperor Longteng hadn’t favored her for many days, always using her health as a reason.

By contrast, Emperor Longteng had secretly met with Little Xinzhuo several times; from the looks of it, he still held lingering feelings for Shi Fei and her son.

This time, if Emperor Longteng truly saw Shi Fei and the Spiritual Food Soup, and learned that she had used Purple River Carriage to make Spiritual Food, she would inevitably be severely rebuked.

"I haven’t done anything. Even if I face the Emperor, I’m not afraid."

Though that was what she thought in her heart, Empress Feng’s face remained unchanged.

"Then I’ll trouble Empress Feng to go notify Emperor Longteng and see who he chooses to believe."

Xin Lin spread her hands, looking utterly unconcerned.

"The Emperor is busy with state affairs. How could he bother with such trivial nonsense? I’ve said it already: that soup isn’t poisoned. If you don’t believe me, I can have a nanny taste it personally."

Empress Feng looked at the spilled soup on the floor, then at the motionless little fox, and understood at once.

She’d clearly been led into a trap today.

This woman was swaggering about, relying on the Fuzhou Emperor to back her.

If the soup wasn’t poisoned, they’d know as soon as someone tried it.

With that, Empress Feng waved her hand, signaling a nanny to step forward.

"Hold it. The soup was prepared by you, Empress Feng. If we’re to prove it’s not poisoned, naturally you must be the one to prove it. Anything said by anyone else, I won’t believe. Empress Feng, I’ll trouble you to taste it."

Finished speaking, Xin Lin lifted her hand.

The soup bowl on the ground flew into her palm, and she held out the remaining half-bowl of soup to Empress Feng.

Empress Feng’s phoenix eyes went wide; she could hardly believe it.

This woman was actually making her drink leftovers!

"What’s wrong, Empress Feng, are you scared? That just proves there really is something wrong with this soup."

Xin Lin gave Empress Feng another sidelong look, her eyes full of mockery.

Lady Shifei had been wronged, and Xin Lin intended to pay it back bit by bit.

"Who said I’m afraid..."

Empress Feng looked at the soup, thought of the Purple River Carriage inside, and waves of nausea rolled through her belly.

The stuff called Purple River Carriage was both fishy and foul-smelling; just looking at it made Empress Feng feel sick.

Before Empress Feng could speak, Xin Lin grabbed her and forced the soup straight into Empress Feng’s mouth.
