Chapter 034: Inspect the Fish Soup
"Mother, rested?" After entering the hall, Jiang Yusheng asked a little palace maid to ask.
The little palace maid trembled and said, "Back to Manager Jiang, Niangniang...... Still...... I haven't slept yet. With that, he shrank into the corner.
Jiang Yusheng didn't embarrass her, and personally moved Zhang Xiudun and put it next to the bed.
Chen Ying nodded to him in thanks, sat down, and said to Qiao Xiurong, "The Queen Mother asked me to ask about the situation. ”
Qiao Xiurong's eyes opened for a while, then closed them weakly, and said intermittently: "You...... You ask...... Is. His voice was weak.
Seeing that she looked tired, Chen Ying raised her voice slightly and asked, "How does Niangniang feel after eating fish soup last night?" ”
Qiao Xiurong still closed his eyes, only his eyelids moved, and he said weakly: "That's it...... Dizziness, nausea, stomach ...... It hurts, too. ”
"Where's the heartbeat?" Chen Ying asked, her clear eyes fixed on her, observing her reaction: "Is the heartbeat fast or slow, or is there no change?" ”
Qiao Xiurong's eyebrows furrowed, and a look of pain surged up on his sallow face: "This palace ...... I don't really remember...... Just remember...... Dizziness is terrible. She coughed softly, gasping for breath a little rough.
Chen Ying looked at her for a while, looked away, and looked around the dormitory without a trace.
There was only a small window in the room farthest from the bed, and a beam of sunlight entered through the window, drawing a vague shadow on the ground, and in addition, the doors and windows were closed everywhere, and there was a four-leaf screen in front of the bed, which was not only impermeable, but also blocked the little light left.
As far as Chen Ying's eyes could see, there were only some common furniture, a few irises inserted in a half-human-high gold-painted vase, and there were many delicate objects on the Duobaoge, and on the jade table against the wall at the head of the bed, there was a Rui Beast incense burner, in which several incense sticks were inserted, but they were not lit, thinking that the room was not ventilated, and lighting incense would only make people more uncomfortable.
Chen Ying turned her gaze back and looked at Qiao Xiurong, and saw that her face was yellow and gray, and her face was full of sickness, obviously crushed by the two things of poisoning and slippery tires.
After sitting quietly for a while, Chen Ying suddenly reached out to the bed board with great speed.
Everyone was shocked, and a palace maid standing at the end of the bed said in surprise: "You...... Do what? ”
"Nothing." Chen Ying's movements were equally fast, and she twisted the corners of her mouth casually, pointing to a corner of the bed board: "I saw that there seemed to be a moth on it, it turned out that I was wrong." ”
When the palace maid heard this, she glanced at Qiao Xiurong hesitantly, and then looked at Jiang Yusheng, but she didn't dare to step forward, and retreated timidly.
Chen Ying knew that what they were afraid of was not themselves, but the manager Jiang.
The lord of the harem should have been the queen, but it is obvious that the Empress Dowager Xiao is the most powerful one.
"Can I go and see the sealed fish soup?" Chen Ying got up and asked.
Qiao Xiurong closed his eyes and nodded, and said weakly: "You go and ...... Find ......"
"Let's go as a minion." Jiang Yusheng took a step forward and said respectfully: "Those few people last night are now all detained in the criminal prison, and the people around Niangniang can't leave now." ”
"That...... It's also ......" Qiao Xiurong smiled bitterly, reluctantly opened his eyes to look at Jiang Yusheng, and struggled as if to get up: "There is Lao Jiang...... Steward......"
"Niangniang, lie down, don't break the minions." Jiang Yusheng hurriedly stepped forward to help her back, and beckoned to the little palace maid on the side: "Good life is serving." ”
The little palace maid answered, and Jiang Yusheng bowed down and whispered to Chen Ying: "Third girl Chen, please come here." ”
Chen Ying nodded and retreated with him.
Xu had been in an unventilated place for too long, and as soon as he came outside, Chen Ying felt that the sun was shining and his eyes were a little unable to open.
She took out a plain white handkerchief from her sleeve and held it in front of her eyes, as if to hide the intense light, while her other hand smeared it a few times, as if unintentionally.
It was only a few breaths, and soon she walked out of the sun to the eaves of the porch, and naturally tucked the veil into her sleeve.
The place where the dinner was stored was in the side hall on the other side, very close to the dormitory, and as soon as Chen Ying walked to the door, he smelled the smell of food spoilage.
"It's hot, things are easy to spoil, but Miss Chen San is even more important?" Jiang Yusheng asked with concern, rushed into the hall in front, and pushed open the closed window.
The wind came from the window, carrying the breath of blades of grass, which made people feel refreshed, and Chen Ying breathed a long sigh of relief.
Jiang Yusheng's movements were light and fast, and in a short time he pushed all the windows open, and the side hall immediately brightened up a lot, and the smell was also lightened by the wind.
Last night's dinner was all placed on a large round table, with a mulslane cover on it, Chen Ying walked over, lifted the gauze cover, and saw the lid cup containing the fish soup at a glance.
The lid cup was huge, almost as big as the instant noodle pot she used when she was a student in her first life.
"It's such a big cup." She couldn't help but say, and Kaigai looked inside, but she choked on the rancid smell that rushed out.
At this time, Jiang Yusheng was standing in an extremely appropriate position, which was convenient for him to serve closely, but not to disturb Chen Ying's sight. He bowed down and replied: "Back to Miss Chen's words, after the contouring lady tested that she was pregnant, she had an excellent appetite, and she especially loved to eat this flavor of fish soup. The Queen Mother told the lady not to be wronged, and she passed on the message and ordered the imperial dining room to prepare a large cup, which was specially used to hold this fish soup. ”
As he spoke, Chen Ying had already picked out a pair of jade chopsticks, carefully fished out a leaf from the fish soup, and observed it carefully.
Perhaps because it has been soaked for too long, the leaves have shrunk a little, and its shape is quite similar to the leaves of a spice in this time and space, but if you look closely, you can see that this is indeed oleander, and the imperial doctor did not talk nonsense.
"Is all the poison in there?" She asked again, looking around for a small, clean saucer in the shape of a plum blossom, and placing the leaves in it.
"It's all inside, it was ordered by the queen's mother, and all the food must be kept as it is." Jiang Yusheng seemed to know this matter very clearly, and replied very respectfully.
Chen Ying sighed, kept raising her chopsticks to rummage, and soon picked out all the oleanders.
There are seven leaves in total, plus a branch about an inch and a half long and the thickness of an adult's thumb.
Looking at the plate full of safflower oleander branches and leaves, Chen Ying frowned.
Safflower oleander is a relatively rare whole poisonous plant, flowers, leaves, bark and roots are all poisonous, it can be said that it is poisonous from the inside to the outside, from the head to the feet.
