Shiso took out two small white porcelain plates, took out a few osmanthus cakes with chopsticks and placed them on them, and put them together into a three-petal flower shape. One was placed in front of Yang Nianci, and the other was placed in front of Aunt Mi.

Straightened up and said to Yang Nianci: "This is the famous osmanthus cake in Jiqing Building." A few days ago, Miss Six wanted to eat this bite, and several aunts also wanted it, so the big housekeeper asked Jiqinglou to send dozens of copies, which were available in various courtyards. Unexpectedly, my aunt actually liked the taste. This time, I asked Jiqinglou to send it back. Princess, you taste. ”

Yang Nianci nodded to her, looking at the translucent snack, there were still a few half-opened osmanthus flowers faintly visible in it. The dim sum is also made in the shape of osmanthus flowers, which is delicate and beautiful.

Yang Nianci has her own dim sum shop, and rarely eats dim sum from outside. I didn't eat much in the morning, and I was hooked by the fragrance of osmanthus flowers, and I was a little interested. Pick up a small piece and taste it carefully, and it is delicious. The dim sum should have been delivered as soon as it was baked, and there was a faint residual temperature.

"Well, yes, it's delicious. My aunt also tasted it. ”

Aunt Mi touched her stomach and said with a look of pity: "The concubine just used chicken soup, and she can't eat it now." It's never too late to walk around and eat later. The taste of this snack is excellent, but the ingredients used in it are not very good, and the concubine can't eat more. ”

Yang Nianci nodded, there should be glutinous rice flour and arrowroot powder or something.

Aunt Mi said: "If this snack is made of fresh osmanthus flowers, it will be even more delicious." Although Jiqing Building is a year ago, the osmanthus buds are used, and the preservation is good, but it is still not as good as the fresh osmanthus flowers. ”

Yang Nianci was surprised and tasted another piece. Surprised: "Then their preservation method can be regarded as a must, if it weren't for this season, I would really be made from fresh osmanthus freshly picked from the tree." Well, I'll send someone to buy some to taste in the future. ”

Aunt Mi was surprised for a moment, and then relieved: "It may be that the concubine smells medicine all the year round, and she is very sensitive to smells, so it is easy to tell whether this osmanthus is old or fresh." If the princess wants to use it, she can directly ask someone to order it. Jiqing Lou has someone to send it to the house. ”

This special person is for the high-ranking families.

Yang Nianci had some inexplicable feelings in his heart, and he couldn't think of anything for a while. After a few words, he took his leave.

As usual. The group left through the outer gate of the park. Yang Nianci just walked to the courtyard. Suddenly, a figure fell in front of him.

"Sister-in-law, something is wrong!"

Yang Nianci was so frightened that he took a few steps back before patting his chest and saying angrily, "Qi Rang." You scared me to death. ”

Qi Rang listened to Xuanyuan's instructions. followed Yang Nianci without distinction between light and dark. Yang Nianci is in the backyard of the Prime Minister's Mansion. Naturally, he couldn't follow him loudly. Just now Yang Nianci went to Aunt Mi, and he also quietly followed. When Yang Nianci told Aunt Mi about the osmanthus cake, he vaguely felt as if he had forgotten something. It's still a very important thing. I kept thinking about it when I came back, and just now Tian Li asked, "Princess, do you want to say goodbye to your wife", and he remembered something.

Of course, Yang Nianci would not go to see Liu, so he snorted and walked out. Qi Rang, who remembered the matter, felt that the situation was urgent, and appeared in front of people.

"Sister-in-law, don't ask. Aunt Mi and the child in her belly are afraid that they are in danger, so you should hurry up and take a look. That osmanthus cake can't be eaten! ”

When Yang Nianci heard this, he really didn't care about asking, and he didn't tell others, so he picked up the corner of his skirt and ran to the backyard. For the son that his father has been looking forward to for many years, Yang Nianci didn't dare to take a breath. Along the way, everyone in the Prime Minister's Mansion was stunned, and someone went to inform the chief housekeeper.

Anyway, after Yang Nianci left, Aunt Mi felt that her waist was sore again, so she asked Zisu to walk around her yard twice before returning to the house. After taking a sip of white water, I felt that my stomach was empty, and I saw the osmanthus cake in the small white disk at a glance.

Aunt Mi took a small spoon and took a small bite, chewed it carefully, and was slightly stunned, the fragrance of osmanthus flowers... It looks like it has just been plucked from a tree. The princess was right. How is Jiqing House preserved?

Thinking about it, I dug it again, and just put it on the tip of my tongue, and before I could chew it, I saw a person rushing in. It was Yang Nianci.

Yang Nianci's sharp eyes saw that a piece of osmanthus cake was missing under Aunt Mi's spoon, and couldn't help shouting: "Ahhhh

Aunt Mi was startled, and muttered-Okay, the osmanthus cake in her mouth was swallowed without chewing.

Yang Nianci looked at her rolling Adam's apple, her head was big, and she said hurriedly: "I can't eat it, spit it out, spit it out!" ”

Aunt Mi's eyes widened, and her fingers brushed at the osmanthus cake, this?

Yang Nianci nodded like pounding garlic: "Hurry up and spit out!" ”

Aunt Mi blushed, stood up with a big belly, didn't move, but directly adjusted the small spoon in her hand, tried her best to stuff it into her throat, and pressed and stirred it hard-

"Vomit—"

With a bend of his neck and a low head, he spit out the small piece of osmanthus cake that he hadn't had time to chew and all the chewed before.

That's it, it's not over yet, Aunt Mi picked up the boiled water prepared for herself next to her, poured a few sips, and it was a new round of vomiting, several times and three times, Aunt Mi raised her head, wiped the corners of her mouth, and said calmly with a white face: "It's all spit out, and there is nothing in the stomach." ”

Yang Nianci was convinced, and he deserved to be a professional. Hurriedly asked Shisu, who was looking stupid next to him, to clean up the table and the ground. I personally helped Aunt Mi to the inner room.

When the chief housekeeper heard the rumors that the princess ran crazy, he also ran all the way, and he didn't know what was going on.

Yang Nianci called him: "Big housekeeper, hurry up and ask someone to ask for a doctor." ”

The chief butler slapped his head, ran outside and took out Duan Xiang's name card from his arms, and told a steward to hurry up. He hurried back again, and stood outside and looked inside.

"Princess, what's the matter?"

Aunt Mi also followed the big housekeeper to look at Yang Nianci: "Is there something wrong with the osmanthus cake?" ”

Yang Nianci didn't know it now, and motioned to Aunt Mi's other maid to serve her to change her defiled clothes, so that Aunt Mi could rest assured and come out first.

When he arrived at the outer room and sat down, the chief butler asked again in a hurry.

Yang Nianci shouted Qi Rang as soon as he opened his mouth.

Qi Rang had no choice but to show up, which startled the big butler. Just looking at the people in the room, Qi Rang's face was embarrassed.

The chief housekeeper immediately invited Yang Nianci and Qi Rang to a separate room next to him, opened the door, and did not let people approach.

"Say it." Yang Nianci also wondered why Qi Rang said that there was a problem with the osmanthus cake.

Qi Rang glanced at the big housekeeper, and Yang Nianci nodded.

Qi Rangcai spoke: "I came here just now." Sister-in-law, you said that the osmanthus cake smelled like it was made of fresh osmanthus, but Aunt Mi said that it was left over the old years. ”

Yang Nianci nodded.

Qi Rang said again: "Aunt Mi said that she has been distinguishing medicine for many years and is sensitive to taste, so you smelled wrong, princess." ”

Yang Nianci nodded again, that's what Aunt Mi meant.

Qi Rang frowned and said, "I felt something was wrong at that moment. Her nose is spirit. But sister-in-law, you're not bad. Xiao Nan and Watermelon both said that people who can make fragrances have a sense of smell that is one in a million. I guess it's rarer than someone who studies herbs, right? Then you shouldn't smell it wrong. ”

Yang Nianci then nodded, but no, he may have inherited the blessing of the original owner, or it was the welfare of the crossing. The nose is very sensitive. Watermelons are innate. Both of them can use their noses as perfumers.

"I didn't think much of it at the time. Later, when we were leaving. Sweet Lee mentions Liu. I just remembered something..."

Qi Rang said this, stopped and looked at the big butler again.

The big housekeeper understands that this is because his privacy has been broken by others. People are embarrassed to say it.

Yang Nianci didn't care: "The big housekeeper is our own person, if my father didn't have a big housekeeper, this family would have been out of business, you can just say it if you have something to say." ”

The big butler...

Qi Rang grinned at the big butler, and then said: "Sister-in-law, do you remember the time when Concubine Duan returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion in the past, and followed the Liu family to the temple to offer incense the next day?" ”

Yang Nianci thought about it seriously, yes, that time he asked people to follow Duan Si, afraid that she would use poison against him again, wasn't it nothing later?

"The brother who went with me told me something, but I didn't say anything about it because I thought it had nothing to do with my sister-in-law."

"Hurry up!"

"Hurry up!"

Yang Nianci and the chief housekeeper said in unison.

"It's Concubine Duan, who bought unclean things from people on the underworld. It is said that it is specially used for pregnant women, and it will make people slip and even die twice. At that time, the man said clearly that the medicine was colorless and tasteless, but when it was burned or boiled, it had a fragrance of osmanthus. ”

Speaking of this, Qi Rang was a little embarrassed: "But I'm not sure if there is really that medicine, but it's best to be careful, so..."

Yang Nianci sighed: "Qi Rang, you are doing a good job, you are not afraid of 10,000, just in case." Look, butler..."

The big housekeeper hurriedly walked out: "The villain will let people ask the imperial doctor to come to identify the poison, and Xiangye, please also ask someone to come back." ”

Yang Nianci also returned to Aunt Mi's house and asked people to protect the dim sum well.

First, a doctor came, and after a long time of diagnosis, he said that he was in good health, and he could prescribe some tocolytics.

Yang Nianci and the big housekeeper didn't think about letting him identify the poison, so they only asked people to go down and prescribe medicine.

Duan Xiang came with the imperial doctor who distinguished the poison, and it happened that it was the imperial doctor when Xuanyuan was poisoned.

Yang Nian said compassionately, it must have been because my father panicked when he heard the news, so he invited the emperor's imperial doctor to come.

After saying a few words, Duan Xiang personally asked the imperial doctor to look at the osmanthus cake.

The imperial doctor carefully observed it, took out the remaining pieces in the box, and tasted some of them himself before nodding and saying, "It is indeed poisonous." I haven't seen this poison in years. If a pregnant woman uses it, it will cause a slippery fetus at least and her life will be at worst. ”

I went inside to carefully diagnose Aunt Mi's pulse, asked a few questions, and came out and said: "Fortunately, the pregnant woman ate well and induced vomiting in time, and did not let the toxin invade the blood, so it is no big problem." It's just that if you're frightened, you can prescribe some medicine to calm the fetus. ”

He also understood it before, it was Yang Nianci who was vigilant and let the woman inside vomit in time to escape, and he couldn't help but sigh, Princess Ning is really a blessed person.

Duan Xiang asked with a cold face: "May I ask the imperial doctor, what will happen if a pregnant woman eats those few pieces of dim sew?" ”

The imperial doctor looked at him, vaguely sympathetic, and said: "There are a lot of medicines on these snacks, and the pregnant woman is about to give birth, if the toxin really enters the body, I'm afraid it is... One corpse, two lives. ”

Duan Xiang's face turned even colder.

Qi Rang, who was guarding outside, heard it, flew in with a swish, and said hurriedly: "Imperial doctor, my sister-in-law also ate, and I ate three pieces, you can take a look, hurry up and take a look." ”

Duan Xiang and the big housekeeper were shocked and ate it too?

Yang Nianci black line, do you have to say how many pieces to eat? Listening to the imperial doctor, you know that the medicine is only useful for pregnant women. What's more, aren't your sister-in-law and I standing here with all the beards and tails?

The imperial doctor said: "This medicine does not have any toxic side effects on people other than pregnant women. Saying this, he still carefully checked Yang Nianci's pulse, and sure enough, there was no problem.

Everyone in the room breathed a sigh of relief.

After showing the prescription prescribed by the imperial doctor to the imperial doctor that there was no conflict, Duan Xiang asked people to send off the guests, turned around and began to interrogate with murderous spirit.

The spearhead was naturally pointed at Liu.

Since Liu was moved by Duan Si's words, she was bent on killing the child in Aunt Mi's womb, even if she knew that in terms of Aunt Mi's month, the adult's life would not be saved. It's a pity that she has found a lot of opportunities, but Aunt Mi has no way to start.

It is also a coincidence that a few days ago, the kitchen made a dish of osmanthus chicken for each courtyard, which is both nourishing and delicious. When I came to the main courtyard to say goodbye, everyone talked about the dish. Liu remembered that Duan Si said that the medicine would smell like osmanthus when it was hot, but she didn't want to do it in the house in order to avoid suspicion. Instead, the topic was introduced through osmanthus flowers, and sure enough, Duan Xiaoliu was the first to think of the osmanthus cake in Jiqing Building, and pestered the Liu family to buy it. Several other aunts also joined in the fun.

Jiqing Lou has a special person to deliver goods to the door of the family. Liu knew this, so he didn't do anything about the dim sum he sent for the first time, but let his henchmen secretly observe how Jiqinglou sent dim sum, and asked people to check Jiqinglou's junior two.

And Aunt Mi actually ate the osmanthus cake, and Liu's henchmen also got involved with a newly recruited junior. So, when Aunt Mi went to Jiqing Lou to order osmanthus cake again, Liu got the news and asked his henchman to bribe the little two with a lot of money, and he fought for it to send the osmanthus cake, and sprinkled the medicine powder on the osmanthus cake halfway. The powder dissolves when heated, and the taste is the same as that of pastries, so no one can see the clues.

Liu and Xiao Er agreed that they would pay the deposit first, and after the matter was completed, Xiao Er would get all the silver and immediately go away, and never return to the capital.

Things are well planned, if you don't meet Qi Rang.

Liu was uneasy in the main courtyard, and she also heard the movement from Aunt Mi's courtyard, Xu was weak-hearted, and she didn't think that she, the housewife, should go over to inquire. Only sent henchmen to pay attention to it secretly.

The henchmen were secretly guarding next to Aunt Mi's yard, knowing that there were Princess Ning and the big housekeeper in charge, and they didn't dare to move forward. Later, a doctor came, and I was overjoyed, afraid that it was done. Later, Xiang Ye personally accompanied another old lady to come, and he was sure that the fetus would not be saved. After waiting again, I saw that the two imperial doctors were sent out, but Xiangye and the chief housekeeper went but were nowhere to be seen, and then I decided that there must be sad wind and rain in the courtyard. secretly turned around to slip back, but as soon as he turned around, two men suddenly appeared and blocked him somehow.

The henchman looked at the sneer on the faces of the two of them, and his heart was cold.

Finished. (To be continued......)
