Chapter 78: One More Bowl of Soup
Hidden Star Yinyue, who was hiding in the shadows, felt quite novel when she heard the word "WeChat", so she planned to test their prince.
At night, they floated into the palace and saw Xiao Ruoran standing outside the study, looking up at the night sky.
"Lord Wang!" They walked over and bowed to him.
Xiao Ruoran turned around and saw that they seemed to be very excited, so he asked, "What new words did you hear today?" Go ahead! ”
This time, Yin Yue spoke first: "Lord Wang, my subordinates want to test you first, 'a little believe', how can you say it in two words?" ”
"What's the difference between that and unbelief? What did she say? Xiao Ruoran couldn't guess, so he asked directly.
"WeChat! Is this word new? Hidden Star couldn't wait to say the answer, and said what Yun Yan said today, word for word.
"It seems that she is really not the eldest lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion, who is she?" Xiao Ruoran muttered to herself.
"Lord Wang, what did you say?"
"It's nothing, you guys go down!"
"Oh! By the way, Lord Wang, this afternoon, Concubine Yun returned to the palace with the queen's mother, and her subordinates felt that the assassination of the prince that day might be related to Concubine Yun, Lord Wang, should we go and investigate? ”
Xiao Ruoran shook his head: "No need, this king already knows who it is, this matter is suppressed for the time being, what you have to do is to protect her safety, if there is any situation, report to this king at any time!" ”
"Yes!"
In the imperial garden, Yun Yan and Ling'er were waiting for Laifu to bring them food, and after waiting for a long time before they heard a knock on the door, Yun Yan opened the door, and when she saw that it was not Laifu, she immediately closed the door vigilantly and asked, "Who are you?" ”
The man replied: "The slave is the steward of the queen's palace - Wen Rui, and the father-in-law of Laifu accompanied the emperor to dine in Jinluan Palace, and he couldn't pull away for a while, so he specially ordered the slave to bring dinner to the young lady." ”
Yun Yan said to him for safety: "Please leave the food at the door, I am about to take a bath, it is inconvenient to open the door, please forgive my father-in-law!" Unexpectedly, Xiao Ruoran's problem of bathing before meals made her come in handy.
Wen Rui didn't speak, put the food box at the door and left, Yun Yan heard his footsteps gradually disappearing, so he slowly opened the door and brought the food box in.
Ling'er took it, put it on the table and opened it, only to see that in addition to a plate of lotus leaf smoked chicken and a plate of braised fish, there was actually a bowl of pork rib soup.
"Miss, there is actually an extra bowl of soup today, and the emperor is not afraid of breaking us!" Ling'er took the spoon and was about to taste the bowl of soup.
"Don't move! There's something wrong with this soup! Yun Yan immediately stopped her, pointed to the soup bowl and said, "You see that this soup bowl is obviously not the same as these two plates!" ”
"What's wrong with not a set? Maybe the dish and the soup were not made by one person, so the utensils used were different. Ling'er guessed.
Yun Yan shook his head and said in denial: "No! Although it is not done by one person, but it is sent to us to eat, even our family pays attention to the tableware to match, not to mention the palace, Laifu father-in-law is ordered by the emperor to send us food, there will be absolutely no omission, obviously this bowl of soup was later put into the food box! ”
Although Ling'er works as a maid in the Prime Minister's Mansion, she still knows some tricks in the palace, and when she heard Yun Yan say this, she immediately pushed the bowl of soup aside: "Who wants to harm us?" ”
"If it's harmful to us, we won't know until we try it!" Yun Yan took the bowl of soup and instructed Ling'er, "You go and bring the silver hairpin from my jewelry box!" ”
Ling'er hurriedly found the hairpin and gave it to Yun Yan, Yun Yan took it and put the sharp end into the soup, waited for a while and took it out, and found that the hairpin had not changed after observation, she thought, could it be that she was suspicious? However, it is better not to eat it for the sake of safety.
"Ling'er, I don't think we'll eat these things tonight, and I'll find someone tomorrow to see what kind of reputation is here."
"Okay, I'll listen to Miss!"
So, the two of them freshened up and went to sleep. Ling'er fell asleep soon after lying down, but Yun Yan couldn't sleep because of what had just happened.
About half an hour later, a figure suddenly flashed outside the window, and Yun Yan immediately sat up and shouted, "Come on!" There are assassins! ”
"Miss, what's wrong?" Ling'er was awakened by her shouting, and at the same time, the guards who were watching the night were also attracted by her voice.
"Miss Yunyan, are you alright?" One of the leading guards shouted at their room. When Yun Yan heard them coming, she hurriedly put on her coat, lit candles, opened the door, and asked them, "There was a figure outside my house just now, have you ever seen it?" ”
"I haven't seen the little one."
"Did someone enter the Imperial Garden just now?" Yun Yan asked again.
"Except for Father-in-law Wen Rui in Jinluan Palace, who came to bring you food, no one else has ever come."
"And when did he leave?" Yun Yan then asked.
"He came in and brought you food and left."
"Could it be that someone else is coming in?" Yun Yan said a sentence in his heart, and then said to them, "Brothers, we are a little scared, please don't go too far, okay?" ”
"Miss, don't worry, we're around here, just shout if there's anything you want!"
"Good! Thank you for that! ”
"Miss, you're welcome, the emperor has explained, let us be responsible for your safety, you can rest in peace, we are here to guard!"
"Miss, it should be okay now, right?" Ling'er hugged the quilt next to Yun Yan.
Yun Yan looked up at the roof and muttered, "It's not Wen Rui, is there still a snitch?" ”
