"Yes! It is stated in the confession that she didn't do it intentionally. It was just that when she went to the kitchen to make anti-fetal medicine for Yan Youning, she accidentally dropped peanut oil into the prince's meal. At first, she didn't She noticed something. She didn't know that she had caused a catastrophe until Huo Qiming's people searched the East Palace! In order not to involve her family, she is willing to die to make amends!"

"Well, it's reasonable. I know there is a problem, but I can't find the problem!"

Mu Zheng sneered at Lin Youyi's weird words.

"Little girl, are you really good at cooking?"

Lin Youyi was confused by Mu Zheng's question, she said Yan Youning was right, why did she suddenly ask if she could cook?
Lin Youyi stared blankly, first shook her head, then nodded embarrassingly.

"I don't know how to cook. Isn't it strange? Although I used to live under the roof of others, I was never able to go to the kitchen by myself."

"Little girl, ladies from rich families don't even go into the kitchen, but in order to take care of their husband-in-law in every possible way after marriage, they still have some understanding of the dishes. Otherwise, you can also learn a few dishes that you are good at."

"Hmph, stop bluffing me! All these jobs, I just want to marry a cook! You... you just want to laugh at me!"

Seeing Lin Youyi's blushing face, Mu Zheng smiled even wider.

"Where did the little fox with fried hair come from? It's very gratifying! Well, I won't tease you! The problem is not with the dishes, but with the oil used for cooking!"

"You mean...peanut oil? I haven't heard of it before. I thought it was a rare item only found in the palace."

"Of course not. The common people mostly use meat oil, but the taste of meat oil is unavoidable. So, gradually, the north uses more flax oil, while the south uses more brassica seed oil. As for this peanut oil, it is extremely difficult to squeeze, so , few people eat it, or even heard of it.”

"That's no wonder! How did Yan Youning use this peanut oil?"

"After cross-examination by Huo Qiming, I learned that since she was pregnant, Yan Youning was picky about brassica seed oil and flaxseed oil as unappetizing, so she ordered someone to replace it with peanut oil! However, on weekdays, Yan Youning's The dishes are all from her own small kitchen, so the cooks and maids in the East Palace didn't pay attention."

"It was changed after she was pregnant? Could it be that... Yan Youning has been murdering the prince since then?"

Lin Youyi looked at Mu Zheng in disbelief.

However, the next moment, she shook her head tightly, denying her guess.

"Impossible! Impossible! Before, Yan Youning was acting like a bully! Besides, she couldn't know about your plan against the prince! That would be strange! No...is it really a coincidence? It's not right! I just I don't believe it, since Yan Youning became pregnant, the prince hasn't had a meal in her palace? Then why didn't anything happen before?"

That's right, the prince has been safe before, which means that Yan Youning knows that the prince can't touch peanuts!
"With so many doubts, Yan Youning would never think that if a servant dies, it will be settled once and for all, right? Master Huo didn't ask her?"

"I asked, but Yan Youning has been insane since the death of the prince. You say she is really crazy. When she doesn't hear the word prince, everything is fine. You say she is pretending, right? And really no one dares to force her! You don't know, Huo Qiming met Yan Youning twice, and every time he came back, he would gnash his teeth with hatred!"

Seeing Mu Zheng gloating, Lin Youyi couldn't help laughing.

"If you can force Mr. Huo to nothing, then Yan Youning is quite capable!"

"Right now, it seems that there are many doubts, but no matter which clues you look at, in the end, you will either die without a problem, or you will die without evidence."

Mu Zheng and Lin Youyi were just chatting, but it really made Huo Qiming a little anxious.

Huo Qiming tried to sort out everything that happened before and after the prince's death.

When Yan Youning was pregnant, she felt a strong greasy taste in everything she ate.

She also changed the dishes and the cook, but it just couldn't solve the problem.

Later, her confidant maid, the one who committed suicide in fear of crime, suggested to Yan Youning that there was a cook in her house who could grind peanut oil, the oil was clear, and the dishes made were even more delicious.

However, peanut oil is difficult to grind and even more difficult to squeeze, so it is only occasionally made at home.

After Yan Youning tasted the dishes made with peanut oil, she never used other oils.

On the day the prince died, the maid first made oil buns for Yan Youning in her small kitchen.

Because Yan Youning couldn't smell the smell of the medicine, she went to the kitchen to make the anti-fetal medicine again.

While cooking the medicine, she chatted with the cooks by the way, helped them wash and pick vegetables, and helped them, so that the peanut oil left on her hands was mixed into the prince's meal.

However, now that the maid died, no one knew exactly which cook she bought the peanut oil from.

Moreover, Huo Qiming had a keen mind, and he even tested Yan Youning once.

Huo Qiming asked the cook to mix brassica seed oil and linseed oil to make a dish for Yan Youning. As a result, Yan Youning couldn't taste any difference at all.

When Huo Qiming asked Yan Youning about this, she only said that she didn't smell like this before.

After asking a few more questions, she hugged her stomach and said she was uncomfortable!

Obviously, either, Yan Youning was lying.

Or, someone added something special to Yan Youning's dishes, which made her feel uncomfortable after eating, and that's why she changed the usual oil.

According to Huo Qiming's experience, he is more inclined to the latter possibility!
However, that was already a few months ago, and there is no way to find out.

Huo Qiming wouldn't know that the greasy smell that Yan Youning felt before was the oil that was squeezed from walnuts, and after it was left to age, it was mixed into Yan Youning's dishes.

Lin Youyi couldn't figure it out either, but she had a guess in her heart.

"It's not easy to make a pair! I know the rest, but with Yan Youning's brain, it's okay to let her mess around. However, if such a precise layout came from her hands, I wouldn't believe it!"

"Don't say you don't believe it, Huo Qiming doesn't believe it either!"

"Then...could it be Old Yan Ge? Old Yan Ge has galloped in the court for decades, and has gone through three dynasties, and he is still standing today! Is there still some insight and strategy?"

"You will forget that old fox when you are my king? Not him!"

"Who could it be? By the way, let's ignore the suspicious points on Yan Youning, isn't there another suspicious point?"
