Chapter Ninety-Six: Drugged
Sun Yingru always felt unreliable when she looked at it, and Xu Yan was also a little relieved, but at the moment she was only alone in the palace, and it would be much more convenient to have Sun Yingru to help, I just hope she really won't help!
"Remember, be careful and don't get discovered."
"Hmm." Looking at the paper bag in her hand, Sun Yingru smiled and nodded, this time, Tao Mingxi must suffer a little!
……
Kitchen.
Picking up the time when the food was almost served, Sun Yingru walked in with a paper bag, and immediately a subordinate greeted her: "Why is the side concubine Niangniang here?" The kitchen is smoky, and it's not good for you to stay here and get your clothes dirty, so why don't you go back to the dormitory and wait? Dinner was quickly prepared. ”
"Concubine Ben is free to take a look, you can go and do your own work." Sun Yingru came this time for a purpose, so her attitude towards her subordinates was not bad, and after sending people away, she looked around like a nobody.
Those subordinates had to prepare dinner, and they didn't have the heart to watch her the whole time, so they went off their jobs.
"Is this a dinner for the princess?" Seeing that a few little maids were about to deliver food and went out, Sun Yingru stopped them and asked curiously.
"Yes." One of the little girls in the lead responded.
A hint of ecstasy flashed in her eyes, but it was quickly concealed, Sun Yingru walked up to the man, looked at one of the soups, and asked, "What kind of soup is this, I feel that the taste is quite unique." ”
"Hen stewed mushrooms." Xiao Yahuan answered honestly, her eyes lowered.
Sun Yingru looked very interested, opened the lid and sniffed it, now the time is a little out of time, probably afraid that she will be scolded if she goes late, Xiao Yahuan had to bite the bullet and said,
"Mother? Can you let the slave go? Dinner delivery was too late......"
After finishing speaking, Xiao Yahuan still hung her head low, not daring to look at the other party's face.
"Hmm." Sun Yingru was not embarrassed, and stepped aside happily, watching the little maid walk farther and farther away with the soup cup, and the look in her eyes became more and more vicious.
When the lid was lifted, Sun Yingru had already sprinkled the medicinal powder in her sleeves, and now she was waiting for Tao Mingxi to drink the soup, and when the time came, ...... It's good to have her!
Before leaving, Sun Yingru didn't forget to look at the people in the kitchen with a cold face, and commanded expressionlessly: "You remember, this concubine has not been to the kitchen today, if anyone dares to say what the concubine has been here, they will not be spared!" ”
After the warning, looking at the trembling faces of those subordinates, and the fear on their faces, she nodded in satisfaction and turned to leave.
……
The other side.
Looking at the table full of dishes, Tao Mingxi really didn't have much appetite, so he just ate a few bites casually and ordered his subordinates to withdraw.
"Mother, you can't do this." Zhu'er looked at it a little worried, would she be hungry if she ate so little: "If you really don't want to eat, then drink some soup, the soup in the kitchen has been boiling for several hours today!" ”
"Soup?" Tao Mingxi didn't resist this too much, and asked, "What kind of soup are you boiling?" ”
Pearls replied truthfully.
"Don't, don't!" Hearing this, Tao Mingxi shook his head frantically almost without thinking about it, as if he had seen something extremely vicious, his face was full of disgust: "If you want to drink, you can drink some, otherwise you can take it down quickly!" ”
Because she grew up in the police school, she is basically not a picky eater, but she ...... She hated mushrooms, or all mushrooms! So anything goes, she definitely doesn't drink mushroom soup!
"Okay......" I wanted to say something more to persuade the other party, but looking at her face, Zhu'er swallowed back the words that came to her mouth.
But she wasn't really interested in the soups either......
walked over and was about to open it, but Tao Mingxi suddenly seemed to think of something, and ordered: "Forget it, such a big cup of soup, the kitchen must have put a lot of effort into it, it's a pity if you pour it out like this, if no one drinks it, you can send it to Xu Yan!" It just so happened that she had a leg injury, so it would be good to drink some tonic soup. ”
"Yes." Zhu'er nodded obediently, turned around and took out the soup and sent it to Xu Yan's courtyard.
In order not to dislike the other party, Tao Mingxi also specially instructed Zhu'er to tell her that the soup was sent from the kitchen, what Xing Tianze meant.
As a result, the matter came out on the second day, Xu Yan began to vomit after drinking the bowl of soup sent by Tao Mingxi, and she couldn't stop it, and in just half a day, the whole person was already emaciated.
The matter quickly reached Xing Tianze's ears, looking at the prince's dark face, the little girl replied tremblingly: "Listen, I heard Miss Xu say that those soups were sent to her by the prince......
"When did the king send her soup? It's nonsense! "Xing Tianze has been busy with his own affairs all day, and he doesn't have the heart to care about anything else, let alone send soup to Xu Yan or something.
"Who sent the soup?"
"It's the pearl girl in the princess's courtyard." The little servant continued to answer, feeling the cold aura emanating from the prince's body, and almost couldn't help but flee.
"She?" Xing Tianze frowned, pondered for a moment and then spit out: "Go to the princess." ”
"I've seen the prince, I don't know why the prince suddenly came?" Tao Mingxi walked out and saluted the other party, and asked lightly.
Xing Tianze's face was indeed not much better at this time, and when he saw that the person who came was Tao Mingxi, he slowed down a little, but his face was still tense: "I heard that yesterday the maid in your courtyard sent a bowl of soup to Xu Yan in the name of this king?" Let her vomit and diarrhea after drinking, and this king came to investigate. ”
"Soup?" Tao Mingxi hooked his lips and smiled slightly in the place where the other party couldn't see, he was not surprised by this result, and said indifferently: "This is what the concubine ordered her to send, because the soup happened to be something that the concubine didn't like to drink, but she didn't want to waste it, thinking that Miss Xu still had injuries on her body now, she could just use those soups to nourish it." ”
"Did you tell it? Do you know that the soup is drugged? Xing Tianze's brows were tightly twisted together, Tao Mingxi had no reason to lie to him at this time.
"The concubine doesn't know." Tao Mingxi shook his head blankly, then raised his head and looked at the other party: "The soup was sent directly from the kitchen yesterday, and after it was delivered, the concubine directly asked Zhu'er to take it to Miss Xu's yard. ”
After finishing speaking, she turned her head to look at Zhu'er, who was pale, and thought that this girl was too timid, but she added calmly on her face: "But there is one thing that the concubine needs to explain, Zhu'er is the person next to the concubine, she will never do those insidious things, and please ask the prince to be clear." ”
