Chapter 1103, Cover up, Too Fragrant Soup

When Shao Wanru returned to the small tent, she was almost exhausted. This step took all her strength. She lay down on the couch weakly and closed her eyes. Princess Ruian covered her with a soft blanket. After taking off his cloak, he whispered a few instructions to Yujie and Qule.

She carefully told them not to go back in a hurry, and to let Shao Wanru take a nap and go back when he feels better. If he feels better, he can come over and watch the afternoon performance later, but he doesn't have to run around like now.

The tents are all in the middle. Even if Shao Wanru's tent is a little smaller and further back, it is still in the middle. Just lift the curtain outside the tent and you can see the tent on the high flower bed. You don’t have to go outside to see the performance clearly.

"Princess, are you going to have a banquet with the princess later?" Yu Jie asked.

The eldest princess Ruian shook her head: "There is no need to go to the banquet with you. Your princess will wake up soon. If you don't want to go back, just tell Aunt Gao and ask her to ask for lunch from the people in the imperial dining room. It will be served here. That’s it, let me clean it up when you’re done, and just rest here and wait for the afternoon show!”

"No need...I'm going back!" A weak voice came from the bed. Shao Wanru was feeling dizzy. He just managed to hold on, but he really couldn't hold on anymore.

Originally, she had told Yujie before that she wanted to watch the performance in the afternoon, but she really didn't have much energy at this time.

"Yes, it's better to go back and rest. You can watch this kind of performance anytime. Your health is the most important thing." The eldest princess Ruian breathed a sigh of relief. She was really afraid that Shao Wanru would have to hold on to watch the fun, and she would be a young girl. It's not necessary to let her go at this time.

At the moment, it would be best for Shao Wanru to propose it himself.

He came over and pulled Shao Wanru's cloak, and sighed heavily: "Hey, you kid..."

The eldest princess Ruian didn't know what to say despite being injured like this. Her eyes fell on Shao Wanru's pale, almost transparent face, and her nose became sour. If the child's parents hadn't died early, such a situation would have happened. The child should still be acting like a spoiled child in the arms of his parents at this time, how could he be so sensible?

Even though he was injured like this, he still managed to come over to congratulate the Queen Mother on her birthday.

The child who is too sensible becomes more and more distressed when he thinks about it.

"Grandma, I'm fine!" Shao Wanru couldn't open her eyes, so she whispered. It wasn't that she didn't want to open them, but she just couldn't close them. She had used up all her strength just now at the Queen Mother's place, and she didn't even listen. Hearing the footsteps of Princess Ruian leaving, she slowly fell asleep.

When I woke up again, I reached out and touched my head. I felt that the pain was not so bad anymore and I opened my eyes.

"Princess is awake!" Yu Jie said in surprise, and then saw her appear in his sight, "What's wrong with Princess?"

Shao Wanru shook his head: "I'm fine!"

"Princess, you've been asleep for two hours!" Qu Le's eyes turned red and he hurriedly came over to see Shao Wanru's face. He was relieved to see that although she was still pale, she was much better than before.

The more they waited, the more panicked they became, and the more they watched, the more frightened they became. They even alerted the Queen Mother and asked the imperial doctor to come over and take a look. He said that she was just seriously injured and fainted, and nothing serious had happened. The two maids relaxed a little. After eating some snacks, but still very nervous, he was relieved to see Shao Wanru wake up.

"Have I been asleep for two hours?" Shao Wanru reached out and touched his still blunt head, and his long eyelashes fluttered a few times.

She originally thought that a short rest would be enough, but she didn't expect that as soon as she fell asleep, she slept for two hours. Counting the time, the banquet should have started.

I listened carefully, and sure enough I didn't hear anything.

"Has everyone outside gone to the banquet?" Shao Wanru asked again.

"Yes, they are all gone. The eldest princess specially came to see you when she left. She later said that you were fine, so she left!" Yu Jie said.

Qu Lehui walked to the table, where there was a food basket, "Princess, it's getting late, please use it a little bit. If you are in good spirits for a while, we will stay and take a look. If you are not in good spirits, we will go back." The eldest princess said, in fact, it’s not worth mentioning, it’s just that the young ladies want to enter the palaces of a few princes.”

Yu Jiezhong went over to help, pulling the table to Shao Wanru's couch, then opened the food basket and took out the dishes in it. It was actually rich.

Eight vegetables, one soup, and a large bowl of white rice.

The big food basket was almost full.

The food is still hot. It seems that it was brought here not long ago. Shao Wanru happened to wake up. When used at this time, it is neither cold nor hot, which is just right!

Shao Wanru's eyes fell on the bowl of pork ribs and yam soup in the middle. There weren't actually many ribs in it, it was just a seasoning with yams in it, but upon closer inspection, there were some mushrooms and the like. The meaty flavor coupled with the strong aroma of mushrooms makes people salivate.

"The eunuch who sent it said that this soup was specially made by the people in the imperial kitchen, or the Queen Mother ordered it. It not only contains yams, mushrooms, but also some tonic seasonings. It is very suitable for the princess's current use. The eldest princess also sent As a human being, the princess must drink more and take good care of her body!"

Seeing Shao Wanru's attention falling on the bowl of soup, Yujie explained with a smile.

The taste is indeed very fragrant. When you taste it carefully, you can see that among the aroma of meat and mushrooms, there is also a faint medicinal smell. It is no longer an ordinary bowl of soup, but a medicinal meal.

Qu Le poured a bowl for her, and Shao Wanru took it and took a sip. The soup was fragrant and smooth in the throat, and there was meat flavor in it, making it more delicious. The taste of Chinese medicine was also very light, and it was even more delicious when combined with the soup. It's like perfection.

As soon as the soup was in his mouth, Shao Wanru's expression changed slightly.

"Princess, what's wrong?" Yu Jie had been paying attention to Shao Wanru's face, and saw her frowning, and said hurriedly.

Shao Wanru put down the bowl, wiped the corners of his lips with a handkerchief, and then asked, "Who sent this soup?"

"It was said that it was brought here by the eunuch from the imperial kitchen, and it was specially made by the Queen Mother. Later, the eldest princess also sent someone here to ask you to drink more, princess, but what's wrong?" Yu Jie said.

After staying with Shao Wanru for a long time, Yujie also became more meticulous.

The things sent from the palace were sent by an eunuch she had never seen before. Of course she was also wary, but when the eldest princess said this, she immediately believed it. Could it be that there is something in this soup? question, Yujie's eyes fell on the bowl of soup.

Among these dishes, this soup is the most fragrant, and it also has a medicinal flavor that is different from other dishes. It is very rich.

"First the eunuch sent it over, and then grandma specially ordered it over, as if she was afraid that we wouldn't believe it?" Shao Wanru raised her eyebrows, looked at the soup, then looked at several other dishes, and said, " This bowl of soup was placed on another table, and the aroma of this soup covered up the smell of other dishes!"

Although Qu Le and Yu Jie didn't know why, they still moved the big soup bowl away obediently, and the fragrance in front of Shao Wanru immediately became lighter.

"Close the lid!" Shao Wanru said again.

Yujie followed her instructions and put the lid on the soup bowl.

"Yujie, come here and smell it. Is there any other flavor in this dish?" Shao Wanru closed his eyes and whispered. Although her injury was calculated, but she lost so much blood, how could it matter? It's a lie. Just now, in order to show her sincerity, she walked over to the Queen Mother step by step, and then walked back step by step.

She had exhausted all her strength. Although she felt much better after taking a nap at this time, she still lacked energy and could not do anything that required a lot of energy.

However, fortunately, there is Yujie. In terms of knowledge and familiarity with Chinese medicine, Yujie even surpasses Shao Wanru.

Yujie came over, picked up the other dishes in front of her, and distinguished them one by one. Without the aroma of the Chinese medicine and broth in the soup bowl, the taste of these dishes became clearer, no longer affected by the aroma of the soup. Cover heavily.

After Yujie smelled it, she separated two of the dishes from the others. After a moment of hesitation, she took out the big bowl of rice and put it together with the two dishes.

After doing all this, Yujie knelt down with a plop: "Princess, this servant was negligent!"

"Tell me, what's there?" Shao Wanru was not surprised. He closed his eyes and slightly hooked his lips, trying not to waste his energy.

"There seems to be a smell in these two dishes, but there seems to be no smell. The slave can't tell the difference, but when you smell it carefully, it seems like the smell of Chinese medicine in the soup just now. I don't know if you are infected by the smell of Chinese medicine in the soup, but There must be something in the rice. This bowl of rice has been drugged. The slave's nose used to be very sensitive, but this time because the eldest princess sent someone to tell her and it was covered by the smell of the soup, she didn't find anything. Little by little, let the princess..."

When Yu Jie said this, she showed hatred and anger on her face. She almost harmed the princess. If the princess hadn't been sober, her life might not have been saved this time.

The best thing is that even if Qule and himself eat the rice, nothing will happen.

No one knows how the princess died. They think she just cheered up and gave her a birthday gift before something happened. No matter how much they checked, they couldn't find it on the food.

Qu Le didn't understand this. When Yu Jie said this, his expression changed drastically. He looked at the white rice on the table in horror and asked in astonishment: "Is this... poisoned? Yes. ...Who wants to harm the princess? Didn’t it mean that the Queen Mother specifically ordered it to be done? Are even the people in the imperial dining room being used? No, isn’t the imperial dining room the place with the strongest supervision?"

The Imperial Dining Room is the most important place in the palace. The royal family has always been afraid of people poisoning their food. Therefore, everyone in the Imperial Dining Room is inspected very clearly. Only those who are clean and have nothing wrong can do it. Entering the imperial dining room, in addition to these, the emperor also sent people to check from time to time, with the purpose of ensuring that the food used was okay.

This is also the reason why Qu Le and Yu Jie were not too suspicious in the first place, but now it seems that they are not, so why not frighten the two maids.

"No, this is not poison!" Shao Wanru said softly on the bed, his watery eyes slowly opening, his eyes clear and cold.
