Ning Yujin watched with a calm expression as the palace servants took out snacks one by one from the food box and placed them on the table.
"Ning, Doctor Ning, these snacks are specially made for you by the emperor's order from the imperial kitchen. The empress is sympathetic to your hard work, and also misses your favorite food, so she specially requested the emperor. The emperor immediately ordered the imperial kitchen to prepare the most delicious snacks for you.
I have prepared a new pattern and sent it to you to taste."
The eunuch in charge half bent over and said to Ning Yujin with a smile: "These snacks have a secret to saying goodbye. Doctor Ning needs to taste them carefully to know the taste. The emperor and the empress have said that if the doctor likes which one, she can
Tell me, I will ask the chef to cook more."
Ning Yujin heard the words "taste carefully" with an emphasis, raised her lips and smiled, winking at Zisu, Zisu immediately understood and stuffed a purse into the father-in-law's sleeve.
"Thank you, Your Majesty and Queen, for your kindness. I'd rather bother my father-in-law to make this trip."
"This...how dare you do this?"
"Be careful, my father-in-law deserves it, so please don't refuse."
The eunuch in charge pushed and pushed, and finally put the purse away, saluted Ning Yujin, said a few polite words, and then went back to resume his duties.
Ning Yujin glanced sideways at the pastries, reached for a piece of pastry, broke it into two halves.
"Miss, this is..." Zi Su suddenly felt puzzled when she saw that Ning Yujin had broken open many pieces of snacks without eating them.
Ning Yujin didn't answer, she quickly divided the pieces, and soon took out a small note from a piece of snack.
"Haha, you are more impatient than I thought. It just so happens that I can't wait any longer." Ning Yujin smiled after reading it, and asked Zi Su to get the fire and burn the small note to ashes.
.
Now, what we should worry about is where Zi Su will go after she leaves.
She was silent for a moment, and then said to Zi Su: "Go to the door and send a message to the guards, and ask them to tell the eunuch in charge of the imperial kitchen just now that this cake tastes great, and see if they can make some more for me."
"Yes." Zisu immediately accepted the order.
Although she was indirectly placed under house arrest in Yu'an Palace, fortunately, Mo Ye was never stingy with her food and clothing. As long as she made a list of the required medicinal materials, they would be delivered as soon as possible.
Ning Yujin prepared some emergency medicines and put them in her medicine bag. She also quickly made two human skin masks. Although the production was a bit rough, it was enough to cope with the situation.
After dinner, Ning Yujin called the two maids whom the queen had placed beside her into the inner hall and began to dress them up in disguise.
"This is called Three Smiles Duanhun San. As the name suggests, as long as you laugh three times, you will die!" Ning Yujin stuffed the pill into the mouth of the palace maid dressed as Zisu, "The characteristic of Zisu is that she has a cold face.
Face, if you have nothing to do, you should smile less."
The palace maid had a bitter look on her face: "This slave doesn't even dare to laugh."
"Very good." Ning Yujin stuffed another pill into the mouth of the palace maid dressed as herself and said, "Your poison is not very powerful. It's just that the person is awake and conscious, but can't move or speak. The imperial doctor won't come to see it."
If you only say that you are poisoned, if you don't speak, it will not be easy to expose the flaws."
The palace maid dressed as Ning Yujin wanted to say something when she heard this, but the effect of the medicine took effect quickly. She opened her mouth but could not say a word. She could only stare at Ning Yujin with wide eyes.
.
"I have already given the antidote to the queen. When the time comes, she will give it to you two. Before that, don't seek death on your own. No one else can cure these poisons."
As soon as Ning Yujin finished all this, Zisu walked in and whispered in her ear: "Miss, the cake you asked for has been delivered."
Ning Yujin nodded, walked out and ordered Zi Su: "Go and give the eunuch in charge some silver, and ask him to wrap it in pastries and find a way to send it to the Ice Dew Palace, and tell him to be fast.
, must not delay any longer.”
"I understand, miss." Zisu quietly put the small note Ning Yujin handed her into her sleeve and walked out quickly.
The night tonight is no different from other days. Even in the middle of summer, it is so cold.
The harem is a tomb where all living things and warmth are buried, and everyone is just a walking corpse.
Ning Yujin raised her head and looked at the toad moon hanging in the small square of Yu'an Palace. Her thoughts wandered thousands of miles, and then she suddenly turned back and cursed in a low voice: "Ya-ya, even if this palace is a tomb, then
I want to be a little dragon girl for once. I have to go out of this place today!"
The night got deeper, and all the noise seemed to have quieted down. It was so quiet that if you listened carefully, you could hear the sound of the patrolling Ouchi guards' armor rubbing against each other as they walked.
Ning Yujin leaned her head on the table with one hand, her eyes closed tightly, but it was rare that she was not dozing off, but was taking a nap.
Zi Su squeezed the silk handkerchief in her hand tightly and looked at Ning Yujin with some worry. After hesitating for a long time, she finally couldn't help but ask: "Miss, does it really not matter if you don't wipe the saliva from the corner of your mouth?"
"Saliva... there is no saliva!" Ning Yujin sat up straight, raised her sleeves and wiped her mouth, educating Zisu righteously and saying, "When did this happen? Can you be a little bit of a crisis? Pay attention.
Where have they been placed?”
Zi Su immediately rolled her eyes: "Who said you should close your eyes and rest your mind, but ended up drooling..."
Ning Yujin suddenly ran out of words.
Seeing that the matter was too embarrassing, she stretched out her hand and pointed to a random place, quickly diverted her attention and said: "Look, it's on fire!"
Zi Su folded her arms and looked at Ning Yujin: "Miss, can you be more trustworthy?"
"It's gone! It's gone!"
"Quick! Quick! Yu'an Palace is flooded, put out the fire quickly!"
"Everyone, run quickly, Yu'an Palace is in trouble!!!!"
"Is Yu'an Palace in trouble?" As soon as Zi Su finished speaking, she heard the sound of crying and fighting outside, and immediately turned her head to look outside.
I saw thick smoke billowing outside the window, and the red fire suddenly rushed over, igniting the cold night in an instant.
The palace people in Yu'an Palace were running around in chaos, and the imperial guards guarding the palace gate also quickly ran in to put out the fire and save people.
But the fire was set in a really unethical manner. All the entrances to the hall were on fire, burning from all sides. The imperial guards were dumbfounded when they looked at the burned doors and windows.
Ning Yujin looked at the monstrous fire, touched her nose and said, "It seems that I am quite reliable. When I talk about fire, I catch fire."
Zi Su frowned and glanced at Ning Yujin: "What's the point of being reliable? Now we are trapped in this fire."
Ning Yujin raised her head and looked at the roof that was not on fire yet, and murmured: "It depends on whether they can be trusted now."
