381 Incident!
He Yunqi stayed in the small kitchen for a while, and the maid who was waiting in the private room just now came. She didn't go into the kitchen, but just stood outside the door and whispered: "Master, that Concubine Liu has left, she left a maid to wait in the private room, saying that the soup is ready for the maid, and she will take it back." ”
He Yunqi responded in the kitchen: "I know, you go get busy." ”
The maid respectfully retired, and as soon as she left, He Yunqi did not continue to stay in the small kitchen, but only ordered: "When the soup is ready, send it to the Peony Pavilion, remember to pack it in a delicate food box, and use the best soup cup and silver spoon." ”
The woman answered, He Yunqi looked again, and felt that there was nothing to worry about, so she went out of the small kitchen and left through the back door.
The soup boiled for an hour and a half, and as soon as the lid was lifted, the woman looked at the heat and gently lifted the lid of the casserole, and as soon as the lid was lifted, the whole small kitchen was filled with a strong smell of fragrance. The fresh fragrance also has a hint of medicinal taste, but it does not make people feel uncomfortable, but stimulates the appetite.
The woman took out a set of delicate soup cups, this set of soup cups is the best white porcelain, not only the shape is unique, the whole cup body is also carved with exquisite patterns, it is simply ingenious. The silver spoon is also specially matched, and the handle is also carved with peonies, but it is more complicated than the one in the peony pavilion, and the petals are layered on top of each other, which is not only lifelike, but also reveals a feeling of luxury and nature.
This time, the soup cup was much bigger than the one Liu Ningxin used before, Liu Ningxin was just to taste the taste, so the soup cup used was a trumpet specially made by He Yunqi, but the woman took this one, but it was a medium size. It is also the size of the specifications used by the general female guests, those male guests. The large size is generally used, after all, the amount of food is larger.
The food box is a lacquer carved box. The carving is also a peony, and the bright color is very eye-catching. Especially after putting the soup cup and silver spoon in it, this ingenious combination of red and white makes people can't take their eyes off it.
Sure enough, after the things were delivered to the private room, when the maid inside opened it for inspection, she looked straight in the eyes, and when she opened the soup cup, the fragrance suddenly came out of it. The maid even took several breaths of gas.
The soup is very beautiful, one is amber, one is milky white, and the other is watery, which looks like white water. There are also some materials in the cup, all of which are specially made with patterns, and with the color of the soup, it looks even more beautiful.
The maid saw it in her eyes and thought secretly in her heart. This time, Concubine Liu's plan was afraid that it would be successful, and as soon as she was relieved, she had a smile on her face, and she gave a lot of extra money. This is also what Liu Ningxin ordered in advance. As long as the things are good, I will give more rewards, and it is also to sell a good one with He Yunqi.
However. He Yunqi was also specially instructed not to accept cash. It can be regarded as filial piety to Liu Ningxin. Liu Ningxin's maid listened and thought about it. I only gave a reward, and I specifically said that it was for the maid who was in charge of serving, and it also meant that it was sold.
After that, she left with the food box. Liu Ningxin sent her a carriage, and after the maid returned to the second prince's mansion in the carriage, Liu Ningxin personally looked at the three cups of soup in the food box, and was also stunned by the fragrance and appearance of the soup, and felt that this time it must be no problem.
She personally carried the food box and went to Zhao's house in a carriage.
At this time, many people in the Zhao family are embarrassed by Zhao Lixian's affairs. She still couldn't eat anything, and even if she swallowed it, she would still vomit it afterward, not to mention how uncomfortable it was. Naturally, it is impossible to bother the head of the Zhao family with such a thing, but Zhao Lixian's mother is distressed.
So Liu Ningxin came, although she didn't like Liu Ningxin, I heard that she specially brought a soup for self-nourishment, and she couldn't help but think about it. This is the case when people are about to despair, as long as there is a way, whether it is good or bad, they will want to try it.
Mrs. Zhao naturally didn't dare to let Zhao Lixian eat the food brought by Liu Ningxin casually, so she let people check it first, and after making sure that there was no problem, she was relieved. She naturally knew that with Liu Ningxin's identity, it was impossible to poison Zhao Lixian, and she sent it personally, but it was always good to be careful.
Not to mention that Zhao Lixian is her biological daughter after all, the Zhao family now wants to use Zhao Lixian's mouth to tell about the Zheng family's iron mine, Zhao Lixian naturally can't do anything!
When the drug was tested, the aroma of the soup quickly spread throughout the room, and the soup was very beautiful, making people have an appetite when they looked at it. Mrs. Zhao felt that she could, so she thanked Liu Ningxin first, and then asked someone to send the things to Zhao Lixian.
Soon, a quarter of an hour later, the maid who delivered the soup came back happily, and when she entered the door, she said happily: "Madam! The eldest lady eats it! And, ah, she finished eating it all and said she still wanted it! ”
Liu Ningxin immediately said: "Then I'll have someone send some more?" "She didn't say that she bought it at the 'Medicinal Kitchen', she only said that she asked the cook in the house to make it.
Mrs. Zhao actually wanted to borrow a cook from her, but when she thought of Liu Ningxin's identity, she still didn't be directly abrupt, so she nodded: "That's really troublesome for you kid." ”
Liu Ningxin was in a very good mood at this time, and said that it was not troublesome at all, and then ordered the maids around her to go back and fetch some more. The maid understood, and after leaving the Zhao family, she went straight to the 'Medicinal Diet Workshop'.
It happened that there was still a lot of soup in the kitchen, so they sent another cup to each other, and after Zhao Lixian drank it, she didn't say that she was hungry anymore, and fell asleep very satisfied.
After Mrs. Zhao heard about it, she was in a better mood, took Liu Ningxin's hand and gave her a lot of things. Liu Ningxin happily promised that as long as Zhao Lixian did not dislike it, she would send someone to bring soup every day.
Mrs. Zhao naturally saw her intentions, but she didn't deliberately debunk it, anyway, the soup had already been checked, and there was no problem, Liu Ningxin was willing to be so troublesome, why did she shirk it?
After Liu Ningxin left from Zhao's house, she sent someone to the 'Medicinal Diet Workshop' to order a tonic soup, because it had to be sent three times a day, and the amount was really not small, and the silver naturally could not be given anymore.
Zhao Lixian drank this tonic soup, and she had to drink several large cups every day. After drinking this, Zhao Lixian felt that something was not quite right in her body. She gradually had a tingling sensation on her body, and she would feel uncomfortable if she didn't drink the soup, but later, the itching feeling became even stronger, and even turned into a slight pain, even if she drank the health soup, it didn't help, and she always felt that something was missing.
It was also the bad luck of the Zhao family, when Zhao Lixian had a complete attack, it happened that the Zhao family handed over the excerpt and said about the Zheng family's iron mine, and the emperor was immediately furious, so he announced that Zhao Lixian went to the palace and wanted to ask her in person.
At that time, all the civil and military officials were present, and many people were curious about how the emperor would judge this matter. Some upstarts don't understand the secret rules here, but those old foxes do. If the iron ore is not revealed, everyone pretends not to know, unless it is a super mine. Of course, only the great family can enjoy such power, and if it is replaced by ordinary people, there is absolutely only a dead end.
Therefore, after Shang Jinxiu discovered the iron ore, he never thought of letting the merchant swallow it by himself. Merchants do not have such ability, once the iron ore thing leaks the slightest news, the business will face a catastrophe!
But Anton Hua is different, he is the king of Jiaozhou, and the entire Jiaozhou is his fiefdom, so it stands to reason that there is nothing wrong with having a small iron mine.
Therefore, the key to the outcome of this matter depends on the emperor's attitude, and they can also see through this matter what the emperor thinks of Anton Hua now, and whether he has changed his mind.
Who knows, when Zhao Lixian was taken to the palace and the emperor asked her in front of hundreds of civil and military officials, Zhao Lixian's addiction actually attacked! This time, it was quite a seizure!
Seeing Zhao Lixian rolling on the ground and roaring in pain, the emperor's face turned extremely dark, he slammed the tea bowl in his hand to the ground, and glared at the head of the Zhao family fiercely: "You say!" What the hell is going on? How did she become like this? ”
The head of the Zhao family's face turned pale, he never knew that Zhao Lixian had been scattered! Who did this? He subconsciously thought of Anton Hua. But it's not right to think about it, it's been more than a month since Zhao Lixian returned to Zhao's house from Jiaozhou, if An Donghua gave her a free break, how could she have not reacted?
Could it be someone else? He squinted his eyes, and a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his mind, thinking that Mrs. Zhao seemed to have mentioned that Zhao Lixian had been drinking the health soup sent by Liu Ningxin recently! Mrs. Zhao also sighed to him at the time, saying that she didn't know how to make this health soup, it tasted very good, Zhao Lixian ate it very fragrantly every time, and the amount of food was much larger than before.
At that time, he didn't care too much, because he knew that Mrs. Zhao would not let Zhao Lixian eat something wrong. But now he suddenly felt that he was relieved too soon! Zhao Lixian is like this, it is obvious that she has been scattered, if it wasn't for Anton Hua's doing, then it must have nothing to do with Liu Ningxin!
Thinking of this, he subconsciously glanced at the second prince.
The emperor kept looking at him, and when he saw that he didn't reply, but looked at the second prince, he had a direct attack: "Zhao Qing's family!" I ask you! If you don't answer me, look at what the second prince does? Do you want to say that this matter has something to do with the second prince? Speaking of this, the emperor deliberately glanced at the second prince.
The second prince was so frightened that his face changed, and he quickly knelt on the ground and defended: "Father! This matter has nothing to do with Erchen, Erchen really doesn't know! ”
The emperor snorted coldly, but still said in a soothing tone: "I didn't say it was you, what are you doing in a hurry to kneel?" Don't kneel, get flat! Speaking of this, he looked at the head of the Zhao family again and asked coldly, "Zhao Qing's family, tell me, what's wrong with your daughter!" ”
The head of the Zhao family sweated like rain on his face, he secretly glanced at the emperor's face, and always felt that the emperor had dug a pit and was about to watch him jump, his heart jumped, and he immediately knelt down, and said honestly: "Your Majesty, the minister really doesn't know!" ”
The emperor sneered: "You don't know? Good! What a don't know! Speaking of this, he looked at the civil and military officials below and asked sharply, "What about you?" Does any of you know what's going on with her? (To be continued......)
