Chapter Forty-Nine: Hawthorn Powder
Erya returned to the small kitchen with her heart in mind, the medicine bag in her arms seemed to be like a hot coal, and she was in pain, but she did not regret it, and she had to grasp the opportunity in front of her.
Baby Xi is a frequent customer in the small kitchen, or she is a frequent customer in every kitchen, because of her simple heart, so she has a good relationship with the people in the back kitchen.
Erya looked at Ying Xi who was eating cabbage and seemed to have an idea in her heart, "Ying Xi, come here!" ”
Ying Xi walked in front of Erya, and then divided one of the two slices of cabbage in his hand and stretched it out in front of Erya, "Do you want to eat?" Very sweet. ”
Erya was disgusted in her heart, who rarely ate your cabbage sticks, but she smiled and said, "Can you do my sister a favor." ”
Ying Xi looked at her and said, "What's the hurry?" ”
"You go and call Chunyan in the eldest lady's courtyard, I have something to talk to her!"
"If you'll do me a favor, I'll make you pastries."
Ying Xi was extremely happy to hear her words, and said excitedly, "Really? Uh-huh! I promise you, you'll make me pastries! Thinking that she could eat the pastry, Ying Xi felt that the cabbage was not so delicious, so she put it down and said, "I'll help you call it now." ”
Erya hurriedly stopped her, "No, Sister Chunyan is busy now, wait for her to deliver food to the eldest lady, you stop her on the way, I will wait for you in the small garden, so it won't be delayed for long." ”
Ying Xi thought for a moment and nodded, "It's still Sister Erya, who is thoughtful." ”
At noon, Ying Xi stopped Chunyan halfway and took her to the small garden.
"Sister Chunyan, you're here." Erya ran over and grabbed her hand.
"You are?" Chunyan didn't seem to remember the girl in front of her.
"I'm Erya, just like Yingxi, I'm from the Third Miss's Hospital."
Chunyan nodded.
"Did you call me for something?"
"I accidentally saw that my sister had a handkerchief that was particularly good-looking, and I wanted to borrow it to take a look, go back, and I'll show one too."
Chunyan nodded, took the handkerchief out of her arms, and handed it to Erya.
And Erya handed over a food box, "This is a little bit of heart prepared for my sister and baby Xi, it's still hot, sister eat it." ”
Chunyan hesitated a little, "This ........."
When Ying Xi heard that she had a little bit to eat, she hurriedly took it back, opened the food box, took out a piece of pastry, ate it, and said in her mouth, "Sister Chunyan, it's delicious, you can eat a piece quickly." ”
Chunyan glanced at the dim sum, not to mention that Erya's craftsmanship was really good, so she put the basket in her hand aside, picked up the dim sum and ate it.
Erya took advantage of the fact that the two of them were not paying attention, turned around, and poured the powder in the paper package into the ginseng soup in the box.
Then he walked up to Chunyan with a handkerchief, "My sister's craftsmanship is so good, my sister has been watching it for so long, and she can't understand her sister's stitching." ”
Chunyan took the handkerchief and put it in her arms, "It's not too early, I'll go first, if it's late, it's time to be punished." ”
Erya nodded, "Sister, go quickly!" ”
Erya was relieved to see Chunyan's figure in the distance, and the medicine powder was finally put into the eldest lady's soup.
I don't know what's in the bag.
She couldn't take care of so much, but the empty paper bag in her hand was still a little hot, at night, in the maid's room, Er Ya took advantage of everyone's sleep, secretly hid the paper bag into the package of the baby cabinet, and then lay back and slept peacefully.
Early the next morning, Erya looked a little dazed in the small kitchen, and kept looking at the people coming and going outside.
"Did you hear that? The eldest lady is dying. ”
"What's the matter, wasn't it okay yesterday?"
"I don't know, I just know that the master has invited all the imperial doctors in the palace."
"Such a serious ......"
Er Ya vaguely heard the two maids mention the eldest lady, the imperial doctor, and guessed in her heart that it should be the package of medicinal powder that worked, I hope nothing will be found, after all, the eldest lady has been seriously ill recently.
Chong Ruiyu stood beside the Imperial Doctor, her expression was a little worried, "Imperial Doctor Li, how is my mother's health?" ”
Doctor Li shook his head, touched his beard and said, "Mrs. Prime Minister is already weak, how could she eat hawthorn by mistake?" ”
"Hawthorn?" Chong Ruiyu asked.
"People who are weak can not eat hawthorn, that is a big taboo, look at Mrs. like this, can only slowly recuperate, now you can only find good ginseng, slice and take it every day, the rest can only depend on Mrs. herself's own physique, if this hawthorn is eaten by ordinary people, it is a stomach-strengthening thing, but Mrs. at the moment physique must not be taking hawthorn in the future, I will write some taboo food, after Mrs. eats, you must be very careful, if you don't pay attention, the old man has no choice."
Chong Ruiyu nodded yes one after another, and then took the list written by the imperial doctor and read it carefully over and over again.
After Chongyan Guang personally sent Imperial Doctor Li away, he returned to the room.
"How can there be hawthorn in the things that Madame eats?" Chongyan asked Chunyan who was kneeling on the ground angrily.
"Slave maid........." Chunyan trembled, trying to remember what the lady's food was, as if there was no hawthorn.
"Slave, Madame drank chicken soup yesterday, but there is no hawthorn in the chicken soup."
Chongyan Guang kicked her down, "Check, find out where this hawthorn came from." ”
All the people in the small kitchen in Zhang Fenglan's courtyard were called to Chongyan Guang.
Everyone flatly denied that there was no hawthorn, and there was not a single hawthorn in the entire kitchen.
Chong Ruiyu looked at the people kneeling on the ground, "Can there be people in the small kitchen?" ”
The steward in the small kitchen shook his head.
This is Chunyan suddenly remembered that Ying Xi called her away, will it .........
"Back to the second young master............ Slave ........."
Chong Ruiyu looked at her, "If you have something to say, just say it." ”
"Yesterday at noon, the slave maid brought chicken soup to the lady, and met the baby Xi in the courtyard of the third lady on the way, she called the slave and maid away and changed to Erya, but Erya only asked about the slave and maid."
"Oh? Are there any other anomalies? ”
The slave only remembered that Erya said that she wanted to see the veil, and she specially made a box of pastries for me and the baby to eat, and there was nothing abnormal......... By the way, the slave was afraid of spilling the soup bowl while eating the pastry, so she put the food box on the stone of the flower bed. ”
Chong Ruiyu frowned, how could the third sister be involved? It shouldn't have been done by someone in the third sister's yard.
Chongyan Guang immediately ordered Erya and Ying Xi to be called.
Soon......
Er Ya dressed and knelt calmly in front of Chongyan Guang and Chong Ruiyu, but Ying Xi was a little scared, she was originally timid, seeing that the old man and the second young master were there, and leaked a cold and angry look, her heart was flustered, although she didn't know what to call her, but she was afraid to die.
Chong Ruiyu saw Ying Xi's expression, and thought in his heart, could it really be related to these two people? Looking at the young baby, maybe it's just timid and scared.
But Chongyan Guang doesn't think so, in his eyes, Ying Xi is particularly suspicious.
Erya shook her head with Yingxi, claiming that she had never seen a hawthorn thing.
Shigeiwa Hiroshi ordered to search their room, and after a while, one of the guards got up and took out the baby's package.
Ying Xi looked at her package curiously, what was going on?
However, Erya breathed a sigh of relief, kneeling on the ground more calmly, with a straight body and a look that had nothing to do with her, fortunately she didn't leave the empty medicine bag by her side.
Chongyan Guang opened the package with small white flowers, and found that it was full of ordinary clothes, but a small paper bag suddenly appeared from the clothes, he opened the paper bag, smelled the smell, and stuck some powder on the tip of his tongue and licked it, with a look on his face, and then angrily pointed at the baby and said, "Come on, pull this slave down, ask me well, why do you want to put hawthorn powder in the soup of the eldest lady, and give me a heavy beating without saying it, and beat me until I say it." ”
