1145. Chapter 1145 There Is a Problem with Fish Meat

Ye Zhen actually didn't know how to get along with Zhao Ning. She could see that Zhao Ning wanted to be friends with her. On the way back to Kyoto from Anhe City, Zhao Ning changed his temper in Huajia Village and kept thinking about it. He tried to please her, knowing that she didn't like her, but when he saw that she was in danger, he was still willing to tell Mo Rongzhan to save her. From this, we can see that Zhao Ning is a kind person. She I just knew what I wanted, so I worked hard to get it. I wanted to escape from the life I was living at that time.

If Zhao Ning was striving for life in Qi, it would be different from what she saw in her dream. She would not have to worry at all and could become friends with Zhao Ning. This was what Ye Zhen hoped for.

"Empress, are you really not planning to return to the palace?" Zhao Ning accompanied Ye Zhen to the medicine field. When she saw Ye Zhen picking herbs leisurely in the medicine field, she really couldn't understand. Could it be that the Queen was planning to go back to the palace? Have you been in Chengde Villa all your life?

Ye Zhen glanced at her with a smile, "Are you so worried that I won't return to the palace?"

"I have to see you and the emperor get along well." Zhao Ning said angrily, "I have seen that concubine Shu. She pretended to be dignified and virtuous, but she didn't know what she was capable of, but..." She looked at Ye After a quick glance, it was hard to say any more.

"Concubine Shu is indeed very gentle." Ye Zhen nodded, "Have you met your sisters? How are you getting along with them?"

When Zhao Xin was mentioned, Zhao Ning's face turned ugly, "She didn't follow me to Qi State to meet my sister, but to ridicule me. She's a fisherman on the left and a country bumpkin on the right. I really want to fill her with two dumplings." Into her mouth.”

Ye Zhen couldn't help laughing, "Are you so difficult to get along with?"

"It's not that I don't want to get along well with her. After all, we are sisters. I will not take the initiative to offend others when I am in Qi State and I am not familiar with the place. But Zhao Xin..." Zhao Ning remembered the first time they met and became angry. From one place, "When we first met, she made fun of how many people who pretended to be princesses went to find the emperor and were killed. What did she mean? Did she mean that I was pretending to be a princess? Humph, she just didn't want me to become a princess." country."

"Princesses who grew up in the palace are different." Ye Zhen whispered, "When you arrive in Qi State, you must know how to tolerate everything. Forbearing for a while is not to give in, but to get more in the future."

Zhao Ning savored Ye Zhen's words carefully, and her bright eyes blinked, "Is this like you, my empress?"

Ye Zhen was stunned for a moment, then nodded with a smile, "Absolutely."

"I will definitely remember it." Zhao Ning said.

"It's almost lunch time. Let's go to the creek in front today to catch some fresh fish and grill them." Ye Zhen said with a smile.

Zhao Ning said, "I used to eat fish every day when I was in Huajia Village. I was scared to see fish. After living in Kyoto for a few days, I miss the taste of fish, but no matter how I eat it, it doesn't taste like before."

"Huajia Village is where you grew up. No matter where you go in the future, everything you eat there will have a special taste that cannot be found in other places." Ye Zhen said with a smile.

"That's it." Zhao Ning nodded.

The two returned to Daohuayuan together, and Ye Zhen ordered the maid to go to the kitchen to bring lunch.

Today there are chestnut roasted pheasant, sweet-scented osmanthus fish sticks, roasted venison and stir-fried river delicacies, as well as four freshly grilled crucian carp, which Ye Zhen likes to eat recently.

"It looks delicious." Zhao Ning smelled the taste and couldn't wait to taste it.

Ye Zhen was drinking soup and asked Zhao Ning to use his chopsticks.

"These fish are all caught from the streams in the mountains. They are very fresh." Ye Zhen said with a smile.

Zhao Ning wiped the stir-fried river fish. The fish was fresh and tender, and it was really delicious.

Seeing that she was eating with gusto, Ye Zhen even wanted to eat even though she was not hungry at first. She picked up her chopsticks and tasted a few mouthfuls of river food. It was indeed delicious.

"No wonder the empress is reluctant to return to the palace. I feel more comfortable in the villa than in the palace." Zhao Ning sighed, no longer worrying about etiquette, and just took a bite of the grilled fish. I wonder if the stream in the mountain is better. The fish meat is very fresh and tender, and the grilled fish master also controls the heat very well. The grilled fish is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. She can't make it so delicious.

"Eat more." Ye Zhen stretched her chopsticks towards the grilled fish.

Zhao Ning hurriedly pressed her hand and said, "Madam, this fish... doesn't seem right."

"What's wrong?" Ye Zhen asked doubtfully. The fish that could be sent to her must have been inspected. This villa was guarded like an iron wall by Murong Zhan. She didn't believe that anyone else could come in under her. There's poison in the thing.

"The taste is wrong." Zhao Ning took another bite, "Is this fish caught from the same stream as these?"

Ye Zhen looked at Hongying, and Hongying said, "They all come from the same stream. Is there any difference?"

Zhao Ning shook his head in confusion, "This fish... must have been raised for a few days. The meat of these fish is a little different. When I was in Huajia Village, Mrs. Hua sometimes raised some fish, although she only raised them for a few days. , but the taste is different.”

Hongying and Hongling's expressions changed greatly when they heard this, "Is there something wrong with this fish?"

"Of course it's okay for others to eat the fish that has been fed with Houttuynia cordata, but the empress cannot eat it," Zhao Ning said.

Ye Zhen put down her chopsticks with a heavy face, raised her eyes and gave Dong He a wink.

Dong He's face is pale. She was sent by the emperor to protect the queen. Now there is something wrong with the queen's meal, but they have found nothing. Today they found something wrong with the fish. They don't know if the previous meal was...

"Mother, please don't eat this fish. There should be Houttuynia cordata near the creek that was eaten by these fish." Zhao Ning didn't notice anything strange at all and continued to eat the fish with a smile.

Ye Zhen nodded with a smile, "Yeah, maybe so."

Houttuynia cordata itself is not poisonous. On the contrary, it can clear away heat and detoxify. However, it is not suitable for pregnant women if it is cold in nature. If you eat it occasionally, you are not afraid. If you eat it regularly, it will definitely affect your body.

Is this someone trying to take action on her child?

"Empress, why don't you eat?" Zhao Ning asked.

"I just drank the soup, and I don't feel hungry yet." Ye Zhen said with a smile.

It was already calm here, but outside the house it seemed like the sky was about to change.

Xue Lin and Wu Chong had already ordered people to go to the kitchen to pick up people, including Xiao Xizi who went out to catch fish, and they were just waiting to be tortured.

"This matter needs to be informed to the emperor." Xue Lin said to Wu Chong.

"Speak to your Majesty first and wait for your orders." Wu Chong said that if they told the Emperor like this, they would be beaten to death by the Emperor. At least they would have to find out who did it.

Xue Lin nodded gently, "You just brought this fish yesterday, right? How much can you stuff into the fish in less than a day?"

"Fish from the creek?" Wu Chong thought of a possibility and looked at Xue Lin in shock.

"Let's go!" Xue Lin said in a deep voice.
