Seeing Baizhu go to the kitchen with a bowl to ask, Lin Huiru breathed a sigh of relief and touched her nose, fortunately, she had a keen sense of smell, and now she was able to escape.

How can that strange-tasting soup be as delicious as fruit? Thinking so, she casually took a green apple from the fruit bowl on the table and put it to her lips and took a bite, the sweet and sour juice spread in her mouth, which was really a pleasure.

Since she became pregnant, she still likes to eat sour. Sweet and spicy are not so enthusiastic anymore, and she has to eat half a bowl of vinegar when she eats dumplings.

Baizhu always likes to tell her the phrase sour and spicy girl, but she thinks that the gender of this child has nothing to do with taste, and he is a scientific person.

But Bai Zhu took the bowl to the kitchen and asked around, and said that this chicken was still a freshly killed medicinal herb, and there should be no problem, and she sniffed it carefully, and there was a trace of sour smell in the pot.

"If it's okay, how can there be a sour smell? This garlic doesn't smell like hawthorn or anything like that, so think about whether you've gotten anything into it, and don't pour white vinegar into it as water. Baizhu frowned and put the bowl aside, naturally there was a strange taste, so he couldn't give Lin Huiru to drink.

The cook smiled bitterly, "Bai girl, don't you know, Madame's recent taste is very tricky, everything that needs to be vinegared has to be put on double business trips, I think it happened that the vinegar ran out today and the person who bought it hasn't come back yet, how can there be white vinegar in the house by mistake?" ”

"You still don't believe what I said, if you don't believe it, come and smell it yourself, and see if there is a trace of sourness." Baizhu pulled the man to the table and pointed his finger.

Now the chef also confirmed that there was indeed a strange taste, he picked up the chopsticks and dipped some soup into his mouth, and carefully rummaged in the pot, "This taste shouldn't look like vinegar, but why do I always think that there is something in it, I haven't seen it when I was making soup before, you see it's this black medicinal herb, isn't it that they put it wrong?" ”

Looking at the black piece of wood on the cook's chopsticks, Baizhu frowned and took it, he didn't know what was more than a dozen kinds of medicinal herbs in it, but after smelling it carefully, it did have a sour smell.

"It seems that I misunderstood you, okay, if there is nothing to do, you can go and get busy first, Lord Xu instructed me not to put such heavy seasonings when cooking for Mrs. in the future." Bai Zhu frowned and turned around and walked out of the kitchen quickly, if the real herbs were caught wrong, the problem would be big, she had to quickly grab the doctor and ask.

Coincidentally, when she returned to Lin Huiru's courtyard, she happened to meet the imperial doctor from the palace who Princess An Ning had come to ask for a pulse.

"Madame's pulse is peaceful, this proves that Nian's body and the child in the belly are all normal, as long as you don't have any bleeding or abdominal pain and can't breathe, the child is very healthy, Madame don't worry." As soon as she finished speaking, she turned around and began to pack up the box again.

Bai Zhu thought that the recipe for the tonic seemed to have passed through the hand of the imperial doctor, so he stepped forward and stretched out his hand to show him the black wood chips, "Excuse me, sir, there is a trace of sourness in the soup boiled for Mrs. today, we have been looking for a long time and found that the sour smell seems to come from this medicinal material, can you please see if the person from the pharmacy caught the wrong one?"

Hearing Baizhu say this, the imperial doctor looked at the wood chip and looked a little puzzled, he didn't remember that he had ever prescribed a prescription with this flavored medicine, and the next moment Taiyi picked up the medicine before putting it under his nose and smelling it, his face suddenly changed.

While the handkerchief on Lin Huiru's arm was still confiscated, he hurriedly took his pulse again, and his brows were even tighter, "Madame, I feel any discomfort now, and I can drink the tonic soup today." ”

Lin Huiru shook her head, she also saw a trace of weirdness on the face of the imperial doctor, "I just smelled a little more sour today, so I didn't drink it, is there something wrong?" ”

The imperial doctor nodded solemnly, his face was very serious, "Please also ask Madame to quickly send someone to arrest the person who grabbed the medicine, and then trouble this girl to take the rest of the clothes to be convenient, I will confirm one by one whether this is the five caught in, or someone did it deliberately, this medicine is extremely hot, the effect of blood circulation and blood stasis is extremely strong, if you drink it, it will definitely lead to the loss of the fetus in the womb." ”

Hearing this, Lin Huiru and Baizhu were shocked, Baizhu hurriedly nodded, gritted his teeth and angrily went to fetch the remaining medicinal materials.

Xu Ziqiao, who was in the palace, also rushed back non-stop after hearing the news. The little guy in the pharmacy was also tied up and put aside, and although there were more people in the entire Prime Minister's Mansion, the atmosphere was unusually low.

"How? Are you okay? As soon as Xu Ziqiao came back, he looked at Lin Huiru with concern.

"I'm fine, fortunately, when I drank the soup today, I felt a strange taste, so I didn't drink it, but I don't know if there was such a thing in the previous decoction, and the current doctor said that the fetal image is quite stable, it should be nothing serious, you don't have to worry about it." Lin Huiru was a little afraid in her heart, if he hadn't sniffed it carefully at that time, if she really drank it with her breath in one go, I'm afraid she would have been lying unconscious in bed by now.

After the imperial doctor checked the remaining medicinal materials, he found that each pair of medicinal materials had more or less added some of these medicinal materials, "Lord Xu, this person is very vicious, this kind of thing only dares in the usual decoction, it is less than one or two, and it is not even such a big piece, but each of the remaining decoctions is mixed with two taels." ”

Hearing this, Xu Ziqiao couldn't sit still, he turned around, and looked at the little guy in the pharmacy on the ground with cold eyes, "Who instructed you to do this?" ”

The little guy was terrified in his heart, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed, "Adults spare their lives, adults spare their lives, the little ones really have never added this kind of thing to the medicine, they are all done according to the prescription." Even if the villain is given 10,000 guts, the villain will not dare to do anything in Madame's medicinal materials!"

Seeing that the little girl's forehead was already red, and I didn't know if it was because of pregnancy, Lin Huiru's heart softened, "I always think he really doesn't know." ”

"It's clear that I got it from his pharmacy, and I went to get it myself." Xu Ziqiao picked up a packet of medicine on the table, raised his hand and smashed it in front of Xiao Si, "Then why do you want to tell me why there is such a dirty thing in your packaged medicine?" ”

The little guy was already crying with tears on his face, but when he looked at the bag of medicinal materials intently, he hurriedly explained to Xu Ziqiao, "Lord Xu, this is not the wrapping method in our pharmacy, nor is it the paper in our pharmacy!"
