Chapter 108: Food Restraint
On the same day, news came back from the frontier that the frontier army won again, and it attacked the imperial city of Jiangguo in one fell swoop, and it only took an order to take the entire Jiangguo.
The royal family of Jiang State handed over a letter of surrender, willing to surrender to the country.
When the news came back to the court, the whole country was shocked, and no one thought that King Chen, who had never led a soldier, would be so brave. In just a few months, you can win a lot.
For a while, everyone nodded and praised King Chen.
When Ming Ran heard Feng Yixuan mention this, he smiled faintly.
Xiao Mo is a scheming man in modern times, and when he came to ancient times, he used the art of war learned in history class, and it was certainly easy to win.
And in her heart, there are actually other worries.
When she checked the emperor's recipe this morning, she found that the emperor had been eating for a long time recently, and there was a dish of bamboo shoot chicken in his daily meal, and the tea that the emperor had recently drunk was chrysanthemum tea.
Chrysanthemum tea and chicken are mutually restrictive, and those who eat too much will definitely be poisoned.
In the emperor's daily meal, there is a dish made of chicken.
She asked Li Shihai to write down the emperor's daily meal, and found that the emperor used the most every day was the chicken.
For a while, Ming Ran didn't know if this was a coincidence or a conspiracy, she wanted to report it to the Queen Mother, but she didn't know whether the emperor was poisoned, and there was no such thing as chrysanthemum tea that could not be eaten with chicken in ancient times.
If it's a coincidence, if it's a conspiracy, she's afraid of startling the snake.
It can be seen from the recipe that the emperor began to eat like this after June 15.
On June 15, Xiao Yichen had just set out on the expedition.
She suddenly panicked, and the tea cup in her hand fell to the ground.
Feng Yixuan was taken aback, "Queen Mother, what's wrong with you?" ”
From the moment she entered the room, Mingran was absent-minded, she chattered for a long time, Mingran didn't seem to listen at all, staring thoughtfully at the corner of the table.
Meiran looked at the shattered fragments on the ground, and his face darkened.
Zhuqing quickly entered the house, squatted down to clean up the debris from under her feet, she looked up at Ming Ran, "Niangniang, have you been splashed with tea?" ”
Ming Ran shook his head and pursed his lips, "Zhuqing, you go and invite the emperor to come over for dinner today." Go to the imperial dining room and serve meals according to the emperor's preferences on weekdays. ”
Zhu Qing was slightly stunned by Ming Ran's sudden willingness to invite the emperor, but soon unconsciously smiled, "The slave maid takes the order." ”
She quickly picked up the debris on the ground, walked outside the room and told Ziyun to enter the house and serve tea again.
Feng Yixuan's expression was a little complicated when she looked at Ming Ran, "Niangniang, do you have something on your mind?" ”
Ming Ran thought about it, shook his head and said, "No, Xu was woken up by the rain in the middle of the night last night, so he didn't rest." ”
"The concubine saw that your face was not good, but she was in poor health?" Feng Yixuan frowned slightly, and said with some concern.
Ming Ran smiled lightly and comforted, "It's okay, it's just not good to rest." ”
Feng Yixuan nodded, got up and said, "Then the concubine will retire." ”
It's rare for Ming Ran to invite the emperor to dinner, she must be interesting, otherwise the emperor will secretly hate her in her heart, then she will have a hard time.
Although she also wants to have dinner with the emperor, she also wants to be like Ming Ran, a light word can make the emperor rush over.
A touch of sourness overflowed in her heart, and she couldn't help but be a little jealous of Mingran, but soon she noticed her little emotions and secretly cursed herself for being hypocritical.
Of course, Mingran didn't know the bitterness in her heart, nodded at her, and watched her leave.
The sun sets, and in the evening.
Xiao Yiqian walked over in a Xuanmo regular suit, and Ming Ran greeted him at the gate of the palace and walked inside side by side with him.
The joy on Xiao Yiqian's face was naturally self-evident, and he talked about the good news of today's frontier all the way.
But his joy, of course, was not only because of the great victory on the frontier, but also because Ming Ran suddenly invited him to dine together.
Walking into the main hall, the dining table was already full of meals, and it could be seen that they were all his favorite foods on weekdays.
He sat down with a smile, Li Shihai walked to the table and tested the poison with a silver needle, and after trying them one by one, the silver needle was colorless.
Ming Ran's eyes fell on the golden fragrant stewed chicken, she smiled and picked up a piece of braised pork and gave it to Xiao Yiqian, and then ate it with her elbows between her legs.
Xiao Yiqian was a little flattered and picked up the braised pork and used it. Li Shihai served him with vegetables on the side, and the first dish he picked up was the fragrant stewed chicken.
After Xiao Yiqian used it, Li Shihai sandwiched a few other dishes for him, but soon, he gave him the stewed chicken, and he gave Xiao Yiqian nine times for the whole dinner.
After dinner, Ziyun came to the teacup, which was a big red robe.
Ming Ran took a sip of it, but heard Xiao Yiqian on the side say, "I like chrysanthemum tea after dinner recently, so change it for me." ”
"Yes." Ziyun bowed down and took the tea out.
Mingran's face was cold, "When did the emperor like to drink chrysanthemum tea?" ”
"It's been a while, the chrysanthemum tea is cool, and it's just right to drink after eating." Xiao Yiqian said disapprerovingly.
"The emperor drinks chrysanthemum tea after every meal?"
Ming's face was extremely cold, which made Xiao Yiqian a little puzzled.
Ziyun entered the room with a tea cup and placed it on the table next to Xiao Yiqian.
"It's just a cup of tea, why are you a little upset?" He smiled and picked up the teacup, about to open it.
Ming Ran got up, strode forward, and knocked over the teacup in his hand.
Xiao Yiqian's smile sank, endured the unhappiness in his heart, frowned and looked up at her.
"Just dinner, the emperor ate the stewed chicken nine times in a row."
"The chicken is tender, I have eaten a few bites, why not?" There was a puzzle in his eyes.
Ming Ran took a deep breath and looked at the minions outside the room, "It is not indispensable for the emperor to love to eat fragrant stewed chicken, and it is not indispensable to love to drink chrysanthemum tea, but when the two are combined, it is really inappropriate, it will be poisoned at least and death at worst." ”
Xiao Yiqian's gloomy face turned pale in an instant, and his eyes suddenly turned cold.
When Li Shihai heard this, his legs weakened in fright, and he knelt down tremblingly, "Your Majesty"
Chicken can't be eaten with chrysanthemum tea, and it's the first time he's heard of it, how can it be poisoned? He clearly checked it with a silver needle, and there was no sign of discoloration.
Xiao Yiqian also had the same question, and looked at Ming Ran, "How did the queen know about this?" ”
Ming Ran had already thought of what to say, "The concubine has seen it in the books in the library before. She paused and shouted out the door, "Zhuqing, go to the Tai Hospital, come to Xuanyuan." ”
Zhuqing nodded at the door.
Although Xiao Yiqian's face turned pale, a touch of warmth rose in his heart, and he said to Ming Ran, "It's hard to worry about Dye'er." ”
"Your Majesty, you have been eating like this for nearly two months, and the concubines are worried about your body now" She stood beside him, lowered her head, and couldn't hide the worry in her eyes.
