Chapter 22: Yacon (1)
Hearing this, Yun Hong frowned deeply, he let out a long sigh and said:
"Yun Xiao, I persuaded you at the beginning, don't agree to this family business, you don't listen to me, with such a cousin here, can you have a better life in the future?"
Yun Xiao didn't care, she smiled and said, "Even if it's a cousin, it's just a concubine, I'm still above her, and she can't get past me!" ”
"You're not wrong!" Yun Hong sighed, and then said, "Marrying into the royal family, of course it is good to have grace, but if the grace is not always there and the status is stable, you can still live well...... No matter which one it is, as the main room, you must show your own prestige, and you must be able to suppress the concubines! Big brother is afraid that you are too soft and wronged yourself. ”
When Yun Xiao heard this, he couldn't help laughing: "Big brother, you really think far enough, your sister is just a princess, where can she be so powerful?" It's as if I'm going down in history! ”
When Yun Hong heard this, he immediately laughed: "History was originally created by people, and without people, where did history come from?" How do you know if you won't go down in history in the future? ”
Yun Xiao couldn't help but shake his head: "Okay, you are our eldest brother, whatever you say is what you say, sister, I listen!" ”
"Hahahahahaha......ha
Yun Hong sat with Yun Xiao and talked for a long time, and only went back after having lunch in the East Palace.
--------------------
When the Mid-Autumn Festival arrives, basically all the things that should be prepared have been prepared.
When the dinner was about to start, the queen sent Yun Xiao to the imperial dining room to see the meals prepared for the dinner, but Yun Xiao still didn't mind.
Yun Xiao saw his father Yun Hanshan just now, although the father and daughter only said a few words, but Yun Xiao was extremely happy.
The moonlight tonight is so good, the moon is round and bright, Yun Xiao likes it very much, I don't know if today's celebration can drive away all the bleak smoke clouds shrouded in the Great Xia Kingdom?
It's a busy time in the dining room, but the food and wine that should be served are almost ready.
Yun Xiao took Qianyue and Qianyun to look around, and was very satisfied with the things prepared in the imperial dining room, and just as she was about to leave, she suddenly found that a little girl was hiding in a corner of the imperial dining room.
Yun Xiao bent her eyebrows and walked towards the corner, only to see the little girl holding two yacon fruits in her hands, looking at her timidly.
When Yun Xiao approached, she suddenly handed over the yacon fruit in her hand and whispered to Yun Xiao:
"Beautiful sister, I'll give you one of the yacon fruits in my hand, don't tell my father, okay?"
The little girl looked very aura and had the elegance of an orchid, Yun Xiao reached out and took the yacon fruit she handed over, and asked gently, "Who is your father?" ”
"My father is Lord Yue."
Yun Xiao asked again, "Then what's your name?" How old is this year? ”
The little girl replied: "My name is Yue Weilan, the breeze is light, the blue sky is blue, I am twelve years old this year!" ”
Yun Xiao led her out of the corner, walked into the courtyard, and said with a smile: "In this way, you tell the beautiful sister why you want to come to get yacon, and the beautiful sister won't tell your father, okay?" ”
When Yue Weilan heard this, she was very happy and said: "Okay, because my brother said that if a girl eats yacon, she can become a fairy, and there is no yacon at home, only in the palace, so I came here and secretly took two!" If my dad found out, he would punish me! ”
After hearing this, Yun Xiao couldn't help but laugh dumbly.
She thought that if she lived in Yunfu when she was so old, her eldest brother might lie to her with the same words.
At this moment, Yue Weilan took a bite of the yacon fruit in her hand, and urged Yun Xiao to say, "Beautiful sister, you can eat it too, let's become a fairy together!" ”
Yun Xiao didn't want to live up to her good intentions, and after nodding at her, he also brought yacon to his mouth, however, as soon as the yacon fruit was eaten, Yun Xiao was very surprised to find that this yacon fruit was highly poisonous.
This kind of poison, although it does no harm to Yun Xiao's body, is very bad for ordinary people.
Yun Xiao immediately threw the yacon fruit in his hand, and quickly snatched the yacon fruit in Yue Weilan's hand, frowned and said to her:
"This yacon is highly poisonous, you can't eat it, you will die if you eat it!"
Yue Weilan looked at Yun Xiao with a puzzled expression and asked, "Beautiful sister, how do you know that this yacon fruit is poisonous in it, I have already eaten a bite just now, what should I do?" ”
"Spit it out! Spit out all the food you just ate and you'll be fine. ”
"But I won't! Oh no, pretty sister, my stomach hurts......" Yue Weilan covered her stomach and cried.
Yun Xiao forced herself to remain calm, she took out her crown princess warrant, handed it to Qianyue, and ordered Qianyue and Qianyun to take Yue Weilan to the imperial hospital immediately.
The Imperial Hospital is not far from the Imperial Dining Room, and now taking Yue Weilan over should be able to save her life.
Qianyue looked in the direction of the imperial dining room, and saw that there was no palace person coming in on the side facing them, and said to Yun Xiao with some concern:
"Niangniang, the other yacon in the imperial dining room must also be poisonous, what should I do?"
Yun Xiao frowned tightly, and said: "The dinner is about to start, now I want to remove all the yacon, it's too late, as far as the palace knows, the emperor doesn't like to eat yacon, today's matter, it shouldn't be for the emperor, you take Miss Yue to the imperial hospital first, it's important to save people, this side of the matter, the palace will meet the opportunity to act!" ”
Qianyue and Qianyun were helpless, but they could only do as they were told.
Yun Xiao waited for them to go away, and then looked towards the imperial dining room, only to see a few palace maids, walking towards this side, in order not to startle the snake, Yun Xiao had to pretend that he had not found anything, and left the imperial dining room.
--------------------
Yun Xiao returned to the place where the dinner was held in front, that is, the Guangxian Palace, and at this hour, the ministers had already arrived.
However, Yun Xiao was still not very familiar with the courtiers, so he could only send the maid to find the "Lord Yue", tell him that Yue Weilan was now in the imperial hospital, so that he didn't have to worry, and then bring the antidote from the imperial hospital in case of emergency.
The dinner has been going on in a very orderly manner, and the dinner prepared by the queen is both lively and festive, which is very much in line with the emperor's wishes. The queen had a fake smile on her face the whole time, even if she didn't want to look at it, she was still very cooperative with the emperor, no matter who toasted her, she would take it with a smile.
Yun Xiao felt that although the queen was vicious, she still had true feelings for the emperor, and it was not the intention of ordinary concubines.
And so it went on until near the end of the dinner when the yacon was served.
Yun Xiao and Xia Rui sat at the same table, she raised her eyes and swept away, the yacon fruit presented by the palace maids was not available on every table, but only presented to the emperor and princess.
The table she sat at was naturally there.
Yun Xiao naturally didn't know how to eat it, but Xia Rui, who was sitting next to her, saw that this yacon was very fresh, so he reached out and took one.
Seeing this, Yun Xiao hurriedly reached out and grabbed it, and said to Xia Rui in a low voice: "His Royal Highness the Prince, this yacon fruit is poisonous and can't be eaten!" ”
Xia Rui was shocked when he heard this, he turned his head to look at Yun Xiao, and asked with a puzzled expression, "How do you know that this yacon fruit is poisonous?" ”
Yun Xiao was inconvenient to explain to Xia Rui in this crowded place, so he only said: "I also discovered this matter by accident, in short, the poison was not ordered by me, and I will explain the situation to you in detail after the dinner is dispersed today." ”
Xia Rui heard this and nodded.
Yun Xiao quietly put the yacon fruit in his hand back on the plate, put it in the same way as he had just now, and then asked again: "By the way, His Royal Highness the Prince, do you like yacon fruit very much?" ”
Xia Rui replied: "Yes, when the mother concubine was still alive, she especially liked to eat yacon, so Gu also liked to eat yacon." ”
When Yun Xiao heard this, he immediately understood, today's bureau turned out to be for Xia Rui.
Thinking of this, Yun Xiao hurriedly asked, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, among the people close to you, who else likes to eat yacon?" ”
Xia Rui reacted at this time, and couldn't help but change his face greatly: "It's not good, King Xuan also likes to eat yacon!" ”
As he spoke, he turned his head to look at King Xuan, and saw that King Xuan was eating a yacon fruit, and he was about to finish it.
Xia Rui suddenly sweated in fright, and was about to stand up and go to stop King Xuan, Yun Xiao saw this, hurriedly stretched out his hand to grab him, and hurriedly said:
"Your Royal Highness the Prince, you can't go now, and besides, it's too late for you to go now! You don't have to worry about King Xuan, the concubine has ordered someone to bring back the antidote, you wait for the next person to send someone to King Xuan, King Xuan will be fine if he takes it, now at this time, the situation is unclear, we don't know who set up the bureau today, you must not show a trace of abnormality! ”
Xia Rui had no choice but to sit down first, ask his subordinates to put away the antidote, and wait for the opportunity to send the antidote to King Xuan.
After a while, some palace people reported to the emperor that King Xuan had been poisoned.
The emperor was shocked when he heard this, and most of the wine immediately woke up, he hurriedly announced the imperial doctor, and ordered someone to carry King Xuan to the side hall for treatment.
The Mid-Autumn Festival dinner was forced to be terminated, and the emperor ordered everyone to enter the Guangxian Palace to standby, and no one was allowed to leave the palace without permission.
After a while, Imperial Doctor Chen came out and replied: "Your Majesty, King Xuan's poisoning is not deep, the ministers and others have been treated in time, and now there is no major problem, as long as you take a few more doses of decoction, pay attention to recuperation, and rest for a few days, you will be fine!" The emperor doesn't have to worry! ”
When the emperor heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief, and asked instead: "Imperial Doctor Chen, what kind of poison is in King Xuan?" ”
