Chapter 306 The Tricks in Cordyceps

Uh... Ye Jiayao was stunned, moving so fast? I just mentioned it last night and are going to prepare it today? I can't help but wonder, what will he give?

All her anger disappeared in an instant. Thinking of the more important things at the moment, Ye Jiayao had no choice but to suppress her thoughts of asking about the gift and took out a handkerchief and gave it to him: "Wipe the sweat first."

Go and give him water again.

As soon as Xia Chunyu wiped his forehead, he realized that he was sweating profusely. He didn't come out because he ran away, but because he was anxious.

"Yao Yao, you are looking for me for something important, right?"

Ye Jiayao handed the gift to him, sat down across from him, and said, "Deng Haichuan came to send a message today, saying that Ah Ruan overheard something, which may be related to He Lianxuan. I doubt there will be any action from Prince Yu. It’s just that Ah Ruan didn’t hear more, and he’s not sure, so I’ll ask you quickly.”

Xia Chunyu frowned and said thoughtfully: "Since Ah Ruan feels something is wrong, there must be something wrong. He Lianxuan was already coming back, but the emperor asked him to stay there for a while longer, waiting. Simon will come back when the political situation is stable, and as far as I know, he will leave this month.”

Ye Jiayao heard what he said and said nervously: "Will they send someone to assassinate He Lianxuan?"

Xia Chunyu shook his head: "This is unlikely. Not only is He Lianxuan very skilled in martial arts, he has a very tough Flying Eagle Battalion beside him. They are well-trained and well-equipped. Even if they encounter thousands of enemy soldiers, the Flying Eagle Battalion will not be able to defeat them." Don’t be afraid, the chance of success is low in an overt killing, let alone an assassination.”

"Then what will Prince Yu do? How can we get rid of Helianxuan? And take over Prince Helian's palace?" Ye Jiayao thought endlessly, feeling that a bloody storm was coming.

Xia Chunyu looked solemn: "Let me think about it."

Prince Yu and the Crown Prince are now evenly matched. If you want to break this balance, unless you are sure of victory, you can only try to do it slowly and slowly consume it. If you go towards He Lianxuan as soon as you get up, it means that Prince Yu no longer wants to The wait goes on.

Is there any reason why King Yu doesn’t want to wait anymore? Although the emperor's body is not as strong as before, he is still in good health.

He always thought that it was too early for the storm to come, and he did not pay too much attention to some things. He did not want to take sides so quickly, but now, if He Lianxuan was in trouble, he would not be able to stand by and watch.

Xia Chunyu stopped drinking the water and stood up and said: "Yao Yao, this is unusual. I have to go and find out more about it. I'm leaving first. Maybe I won't be back for dinner."

Ye Jiayao nodded and said, "You should be careful yourself and don't let Prince Yu worry about you."

Xia Chunyu laughed at himself: "I'm afraid that King Yu has long been interested in me. He has explicitly hinted many times, but I am just perfunctory. In his heart, I am afraid that he has put me in the prince's party."

"That's not necessarily true. Before you made your stance clear, I don't think he would do anything to you. Otherwise, Concubine Shu would come to show her kindness to me?" Ye Jiayao said this, as if to comfort him, but actually she was. I am comforting myself, Nima, marrying into a noble family, I still have to worry about these things.

Xia Chunyu put a hand on her shoulder: "You don't have to worry about these things. This is not the first time that the Marquis of Jing'an has experienced a battle to seize the rightful son. Every time it is very dangerous, but every time the danger can be averted. What my grandfather and father could do back then If you come, I will be able to do it. As long as I am here, nothing will happen to you."

Ye Jiayao looked at his solemn expression and didn't know what to say.

The ambiguous message from Ah Ruan cast a layer of haze in Ye Jiayao's heart, which she could not avoid or get rid of.

In short, we just have to face difficulties together.

Before get out of class ended in the afternoon, Xiangtao came over and said that someone was coming from the medicine hall and that the pharmacist was back.

Ye Jiayao went straight to the medicine hall.

The pharmacist had been studying these cordyceps for a while. When he saw Ye Jiayao, he showed her a broken cordyceps.

"There is some medicinal powder injected into this Cordyceps. Not every root has it. I estimate that half of it is mixed with medicinal powder." The pharmacist said.

Ye Jiayao asked in horror: "What are these powders?"

The pharmacist said: "I have carefully argued that it should be developed from seven kinds of extremely cold herbs such as white hibiscus and aconite. If this packet is taken in full, even normal people will not be able to bear it. I saw what my wife had said before. Fangzi, Madam has a cold constitution, so she must not take it, as it will be extremely harmful."

Ye Jiayao's palms were sweating, and she asked with a trembling voice: "What harm will it cause?"

The pharmacist looked at her quietly and said word by word: "Lifelong sterility."

Qiao Xi and Xiang Tao's expressions changed drastically, and their hearts were filled with rage.

They knew the origin of this medicine. The third young lady was too cruel and poisonous. It turned out that long before the note incident, the third young lady had already used such vicious methods to harm the second young lady.

Ye Jiayao felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar. Although only a small part of these cordyceps were used to make soup for Chunyu, Chunyu adhered to the principle of sharing happiness and coaxed her to drink it together. She didn't like the smell of these traditional Chinese medicines, so she just treated them perfunctorily. I drank a few sips, a small bowl at a time.

"Then, what if I don't take too much?" Ye Jiayao's voice wavered and she looked at the pharmacist nervously.

The pharmacist gestured for her to stretch out her hand and check her pulse: "Normally, you should have improved after taking so many mixed medicines, but now there is no improvement. Well... I remember that it was recorded in the doctor's diagnosis, It did get better for a while.”

The pharmacist looked at this young lady with some sympathy. She had not given birth yet, but she was almost made infertile by someone.

"Fortunately, you didn't take too much, so it's not irreversible. It just takes some time to adjust. Fortunately, the medicine prescribed by the doctor before did not have the medicinal properties of this extremely cold medicinal powder. Otherwise, It’s irreversible,” the pharmacist sighed.

Ye Jiayao suddenly remembered the prescription given to her by Dr. Li. She remembered that after the package of Cordyceps was given to her, Dr. Li changed the prescription, but she had been taking the medicine prescribed by Dr. Renhetang. That prescription Just leave it useless.

Ye Jiayao left the medicine hall in a daze. She said nothing the whole way. As soon as she got home, she went to the main room and rummaged through the cabinets, found the prescription, and called Xiang Tao: "Take this prescription and go to the medicine hall and ask the pharmacist. , if you take the medicine according to this prescription, will it have any effect on the Cordyceps sinensis?"

She was doing her final verification. If it was confirmed, it would mean that Dr. Li was under Liuli's instructions. She took all precautions, but she still managed to do it unknowingly.

Qiao Xi had never seen the Second Young Mistress with such a gloomy and terrifying face, and she must have been filled with rage.

Who can remain calm? After being persecuted again and again, even a clay figure still has a third part of earthliness!

Xiangtao knew that the matter was serious, so she ran all the way. After going to the medicine hall to ask for information, she ran faster and came back panting.

"Second Young Mistress..." Xiangtao breathed heavily: "Ask, ask clearly, there is indeed something wrong with this prescription. The pharmacist said that if you follow this prescription, you don't need to use more, just three sticks, and you will have no hope." Gone."

This result was expected by Ye Jiayao, but hearing it from Xiangtao herself, this feeling was simply difficult to describe in words. To put it bluntly, she had the desire to kill.

All the medicine I've been taking for the past six months has been in vain. Liuli, Liuli, what other bad things have you done to me secretly? Damn it, two slaps in the face and three days of kneeling are really cheap for you.

Ye Jiayao took back the prescription and said coldly: "Qiao Xi, take the cordyceps and follow me to the kitchen."

Damn it, it's rude to come back without reciprocating, just let Liuli taste the good things she made.

Qiao Xi and Xiang Tao looked at each other. They both knew what the second young lady was going to do, but was this appropriate? Shouldn't I tell Madam?

But the second young lady had already walked out, so Qiao Xi had no choice but to pick up the cordyceps and follow her.

Today, Xia Chunyu really did not come back for dinner, and the Marquis was not here either. Chunguo and Minrui went back to the Imperial College after celebrating the Mid-Autumn Festival, leaving only two brothers, Chunli and Chunfeng, and their female relatives.

Everyone gathered around the table.

Ye Jiayao personally brought a pot of soup in and placed it in front of Liuli. He smiled and said, "I made this soup specially for my third brother and sister."

Liuli looked at Ye Jiayao in shock. What did she mean by her sudden show of kindness?

Chunli said enviously: "Second brother and sister, you are partial. Your sister-in-law is pregnant. You should also cook something delicious for your sister-in-law!"

Last night, after hearing what his second brother said about women being water, water producing gold, and gold controlling wealth, Chunli decided to be nicer to Mrs. Qiao, so he begged for food for her.

Although Ms. Qiao felt embarrassed and gave Chunli a cute look, she felt very relieved. It was the first time that Chunli cared about her like this in front of her family.

Ye Jiayao smiled and said: "This soup is benign and can relieve autumn dryness, but my sister-in-law is pregnant and should not eat this."

Seeing that Liuli was still stunned, Chunfeng smiled quickly and said, "Second sister-in-law still knows that she cares about people, so it doesn't matter if I eat a little! Anyway, Liuli can't finish it by herself."

"You eat it...it doesn't matter, your second brother has eaten it too." There was something in Ye Jiayao's words, but others just couldn't understand it.

Youshi felt relieved that Jinxuan was still generous, taking the initiative to show her kindness and lighten the atmosphere. Liuli would be too pretentious if she didn't appreciate it anymore. He said, "Liuli, since your second sister-in-law made it specially for you, just drink it!"

Xiaoya opened the lid of the casserole for Liuli, and a strange aroma came out, which was also mixed with a faint medicinal smell. A closer look revealed that some cordyceps were added to the old duck soup.

Liuli frowned when she saw the caterpillar fungus.

Ye Jiayao sat down and Shi Shiran said: "Today when I was cleaning up the small kitchen, I found that there are still more than half of the cordyceps given to me by my sister-in-law. I can't get used to eating these nourishing things. Thinking about the three younger brothers and sisters who have suffered a lot recently, their faces are pale. If it’s not good, I’ll make some soup to replenish my three younger siblings.”

Liuli's face became even more ugly this time, and Xiaoya's hand shaking the soup caused a piece of duck meat to fall on the table.

"My slave deserves to die. I'll take care of it immediately." Xiaoya apologized hurriedly and took out her handkerchief to clean it up.

Ye Jiayao saw Liuli's reaction in her eyes and sneered in her heart, "I tell you clearly, this is what you gave me, it depends on whether you dare to eat it."
