Chapter 319 Life or Death
Author: Bei Wei
After seeing off Queen Wen, Shen Yuexi called Xia Lan and asked about the process of brewing the medicinal soup.
Xia Lan didn't know why Shen Yuexi asked this, and answered truthfully: "Master, when you sent Princess Ping off, the Queen ordered someone to give the medicine to the slave. The slave knew that this was the medicine given by the emperor, and she supervised it carefully the whole time. He stayed and didn't let anyone get close."
Shen Yuexi asked Xia Lan to step back and sat there thinking deeply.
She had no doubts about Xia Lan, who had been waiting in front of the medicine cup the whole time. As a maid who had been serving her, Xia Lan had many good opportunities to poison her, and it was impossible to hide it until now.
Since no outsiders touched the whole process, it means that the poison was already poisoned before entering Prince An's Mansion.
It is impossible for ordinary people to approach the Queen's motorcade. Then we can backtrack to the capital, that is, the medicine was already poisoned when the Queen left the capital. If we are more accurate, it should be tampered with when the medicine was dispensed.
The trouble now is that we don't know who poisoned the person. Although Xiao Beiheng is the most likely suspect, he can't be sure.
While she was still trying to figure out who the culprit of the poisoning was, her stomach growled twice, and she felt a strong sense of hunger in her belly.
Shen Yuexi moved her hand to her stomach and rubbed it twice.
The kind of stomach that felt like a big iron block was stuffed inside, constantly rebelling and making me feel nauseous... It became normal and started to cry out that I was hungry.
She was surprised and happy, clicking her lips and licking the upper teeth with her tongue. During the period of morning sickness, she would feel vomiting if she even slightly stimulated the upper teeth.
No matter how much I lick it, it doesn't matter. The nauseating feeling has really disappeared.
"Xia Lan, I'm hungry," she stood up happily and shouted, "Here comes the food."
Hearing the sound, Xia Lan came in and said, "Master, the rice soup has been heating on the stove. I will ask someone to bring it in right now."
After the rice soup was served, everyone gathered around Shen Yuexi and watched carefully as before. Shen Yuexi took a spoon and tried to take a sip. After finding that there was no problem, she simply picked up the bowl and drank it directly, and drank the rice soup. Lan and others were stunned with fear.
Shen Yuexi used to drink a small spoonful, but now she actually took a big gulp from the bowl.
"I'm fine, I won't vomit anymore," Shen Yuexi happily put the empty bowl back on the tray, "Hurry up and serve the food, I want to eat."
The morning sickness that had plagued her for almost two months finally disappeared. Once her appetite returned, her stomach was so hungry that she could eat a whole roasted lamb.
Xia Lan said: "Master, the kitchen just prepared the lunch for the Queen. The Queen left without eating. Can I serve it to you now?"
"Hurry up, I'm starving." Shen Yuexi urged.
She urged her anxiously, and the servants rushed to serve the dishes. In a short time, eighteen dishes were served, including fried, fried, and fried chicken, duck, fish, and seasonal vegetables. The dishes were steaming and fragrant, filling the entire table.
Shen Yuexi looked at the table full of dishes and almost drooled. She first picked up a piece of green vegetables with her chopsticks and pretended to chew it for a few bites. At the same time, she warned herself in her heart: You are Princess An, you should behave like a princess when eating, be polite, and be polite. Lady…
Damn it, the baby is hungry and is urging the mother to eat.
She put down her chopsticks, stood up, grabbed the whole Babao Chicken and tore it open.
Everyone was shocked when they saw her grabbing the chicken and stuffing it into her mouth. Xia Lan advised: "Master, please eat slowly. I haven't eaten meat for so long. Eating it too hard will hurt your stomach."
"I know... I have my own sense of propriety." Shen Yuexi responded vaguely while stuffing the fragrant chicken into her mouth.
Everyone at the scene was worried at first, fearing that Shen Yuexi would vomit again. After observing for a long time, they saw that she was devouring her food and she was really back to normal. Everyone was relieved. A maid said happily: "I didn't expect that the master is really well."
Xia Lan smiled and said: "It must be said that the medicine given by His Majesty is effective. I won't vomit after drinking it."
Shen Yuexi was holding a big chicken drumstick in each hand, eating one bite after another. When she heard Xia Lan's words, she puffed up her cheeks and froze.
It was originally a bowl of highly poisonous medicine. She asked Daxiong to extract all the toxins in the medicine before drinking the medicine. At that time, she only thought that this was a medicine given by the emperor and she could not drink it. But she forgot the important thing. a little.
From the perspective of the person who poisoned her, she has already drunk the poison. She will definitely die from the poison at this time tomorrow.
When the time comes, should she "die" or "live"?
"Prince An is back, Prince An is back." A maid happily called into the living room.
Shen Yuexi quickly put down the chicken legs and asked someone to bring a basin to clean her hands. When she left the living room, people outside the door shouted, and Xiao Zhuo had already hurriedly stepped through the door.
After a long period of military service, he was dusty and dusty. However, the wind, frost, rain and dew did not diminish his grace at all. He was still the handsome man as graceful as jade.
Shen Yuexi ran forward, opened her arms, and the two hugged each other tightly in the center of the courtyard.
"Husband, you are back," Shen Yuexi wrapped her hands around Xiao Zhuo's neck, looked up at him, and accidentally rolled a tear from the corner of her eye, "Your wife has suffered a lot."
Xiao Zhuo put his big hand on the top of her head and rubbed it. Looking at her thin face, he said with a hint of distress: "I know. As soon as the battle is over, I will hand over the army to Qiu Liming and rush back first."
Shen Yuexi shrank her neck and leaned her face on Xiao Zhuo's chest with a sweet look on her face.
She likes Xiao Zhuo's big hands to touch the top of her head. Although it will mess up her hair, it makes her feel at ease and fills her with a sense of security and happiness.
The two hugged each other for a moment, and Shen Yuexi let go of Xiao Zhuo with satisfaction, turned around and took his hand: "I'm not talking about morning sickness, it's about another big thing... I happened to be eating, and we talked while eating. ."
Entering the hall, Xiao Zhuo went to bathe and change clothes first, and Shen Yuexi asked everyone to leave. This matter is very important and cannot be discussed with Xiao Zhuo in front of everyone.
While the two were eating, Shen Yuexi and Xiao Zhuo talked about the poison.
When he heard that the anti-fetal medicine she drank was poisonous, Xiao Zhuo suddenly changed his color, and with a "pop" sound, the tea cup in his hand broke into pieces.
Shen Yuexi rarely sees Xiao Zhuo's angry expression. This man has always been calm. The more dangerous the environment, the more he can stay calm. This time is Xiao Zhuo's rare expression of anger.
"Husband, don't get excited yet," Shen Yuexi comforted Xiao Zhuo while picking up a silk handkerchief to wipe his clothes soaked in tea, "I asked Big Bear to collect all the toxins, and there is nothing wrong with me."
Xiao Zhuo took a deep breath, his face returned to calm, he picked up the pieces of the tea cup one by one, and said slowly: "No matter who the poisoner is, the other party obviously can't help but take action. ."
Shen Yuexi also helped him pick up the fragments and said: "I can't guess who the poisoner is. I think it might be Xiao Beiheng. After all, he is the only one who wants to compete with you for the position of prince."
Xiao Zhuo pondered for a moment, shook his head slightly and said, "I don't think so. There are many candidates for poisoning, so we can't make a hasty conclusion yet."
"Husband, what should we do?"
Now that Xiao Zhuo has come back, let him, a smart mind, think about this problem. She doesn't have the two brushes like Xiao Zhuo, and she will get a headache if she thinks too much. Besides, more nutrition should be given to the baby, so she'd better not use her brain.
"You said this poison will take effect after twelve o'clock?" Xiao Zhuo asked.
Shen Yuexi nodded: "Yes, what's wrong?"
"Then we will take advantage of the other party's wishes," Xiao Zhuo smiled slightly, "Since the other party takes you as their first target, they will definitely take next actions."
"Husband, what you mean is that I want to..." Shen Yuexi asked hesitantly.
Xiao Zhuo smiled and said, "Yes, that's what it means."
