Chapter 48 On the Taste and Effect of Spices

The emperor did not blame me, but kept looking at me very strangely, and looked at me from time to time, very strangely. But it was a very rude thing for the emperor to look at me so frequently, and not only did I and King Ryan feel very displeased, but even the other ministers present were a little unhappy after noticing the emperor's actions. There are even ministers who are close to the emperor, and they are even reminding the emperor to pay attention to words and deeds.

The emperor also noticed the strange atmosphere at the banquet, and finally withdrew his gaze, and the feeling of me being on my back disappeared all of a sudden, and it was much more comfortable.

But the emperor didn't know what to say in the queen's ear, and soon, the queen said that she had drunk too much and was a little uncomfortable, so she asked me to accompany her to the side hall to sober up. I wanted to refuse, but Ryan whispered in my ear, "Can't refuse, don't refuse, follow her." No matter what happens, I'll take care of it for you. ”

This sentence gave me a reassurance, and I nodded at King Ryan, signaling him not to worry, anyway, no matter what happens, I will not let myself suffer.

Originally, the queen had her own palace maid to support her, but after I walked to her, the queen insisted on holding my hand and letting me go with her.

When I arrived at the side hall, the queen went to a small room on the left, lay down on the couch to rest, and I didn't have a match to say this to me, and I didn't have anything to say.

Suddenly, the queen asked: "Princess Ryan, how did you feel when you cut off the head of the enemy commander on the battlefield?" ”

My mind, which I had just been in a bit of a trance, suddenly gathered, paused, and said, "It's like cutting off the head of a disobedient dog, and I don't feel anything." Want to give it a try? It feels so good that it's much better than drugging someone, framing someone, and watching someone else get killed by yourself. ”

I don't know if the queen has framed me, but I don't need the capital to scare her, let alone pay any price, why not?

The queen lost her mind for a moment, and her face became extremely bad, but she was very good at concealing it, and after adjusting her state, she asked: "But this palace heard that you were a gentle and virtuous woman before you got married, and you were a model for many women, how could you suddenly become so brave and able to go into battle to kill the enemy?" ”

I smiled and said, "The prince tied up the enemy and sent it to me, I can't kill him, and I already know that it is the enemy, will I still be merciful to him?" You must know that kindness to the enemy is cruelty to oneself, the queen mother, do you say yes? ”

Seeing that she couldn't get any useful information from my mouth, the queen simply changed her strategy and asked, "Don't talk about this, we women shouldn't be involved in this kind of thing." How does the princess smell the incense in this room? If you like it, the palace will send someone to send it to you. ”

From the moment we entered the house, I asked about a scent, sweet and greasy, which I didn't like.

"This fragrance is originally very good, but it is very inappropriate to use it in this room, this kind of place, this kind of occasion, you should not use this kind of small family incense, it is better not to have any fragrance." I'll be honest.

But the queen didn't take my words to heart at all, and said, "The princess doesn't understand spices, right?" That's why I say such things. This is a spice unique to the palace, and you can't ask for a little bit from the outside. This spice is so precious, the princess will stay and taste it, and when the wine in the palace wakes up, she will go back first. ”

I suddenly realized that the scent might be secretive, so I didn't dare to stay longer, and wanted to leave with the queen. But the queen's maid stopped me and said, "The queen mother instructed the princess to stay here to rest, and asked the princess to obey the will of the queen and not to live up to the queen's good intentions." ”

"Meiyi, you uncle! Let me out! ”

The more they didn't let me go, the more I had to go, but just when I was about to push the palace maid away, I found that I had no strength in my body, and the outstretched hand was soft, and it couldn't cause any substantial damage to the palace maid at all.

The palace maid obviously knew that I would not hurt her, so she didn't pay attention to my movements at all, and after gently pushing me open, she closed the door.

I was confined to this room alone, and suddenly I had a very uneasy feeling, and I knew that the queen must have prepared some kind of trap waiting for me to jump into, or that I was already in this trap at this time.

I haven't experienced anything like this and don't know what awaits me in front of me. I tried to remember if there was anything written about spices in the books I had read, or what methods those big families would use to harm someone.

But as soon as I concentrated, I felt a headache, and I was most comfortable only when I emptied my brain and didn't think about anything. I remember that when I was talking to the queen just now, I was distracted several times, and I guess this is also the effect of this spice, right? Does it make me unable to concentrate and think?

What else would it do if people couldn't use their brains and couldn't exert their strength?

It took me a lot of effort to realize that there is another spice in the world that can make people emotional.

But can there be a spice that can have so many functions? Or are there two or three different spices in the room at the same time? Did the queen put so much thought into dealing with me?

I realized the seriousness of the problem, and since the door couldn't get out, I would try the window.

But I pushed the window with my hands, and I don't know if it was because I didn't have the strength to do it, or if the window was closed in the first place, and I didn't open a single window. And the windows are so high that even if I pushed them open, I wouldn't be able to jump out. But I can't jump out, I can still talk, I can still attract people!

So I tried to push the door and the window as I cried out, "Someone! Help me! Someone! ”

But I shouted for a long time, but I didn't hear any sound, it seemed that no one heard my voice, my heart was as cold as ice, could I have been framed so easily?

And I don't know if it's because the room is closed, or if there is really something wrong with this spice, I feel hot all over, and my face is already sweating slightly. After a while, I was too hot to stand it, and I felt the urge to take off my clothes. As soon as this thought came to me, I couldn't control it, and although I knew that undressing was a thing that I should never do, my hand reached for my belt again and again, wanting to loosen it.
