The Queen Doesn't Want to Die
61. Physician Xue Suspected Something
Every meal that Pei Zhang Xi and Lu Jing Yu ate was always checked before being served on both. Moreover, after Lu Jing Yu became pregnant, security was further enhanced especially the food and drinks that would be served to Lu Jing Yu.
Food and drink should be carefully examined using silver needles by the physician Fang and also tasted directly. The chef who is in charge of cooking is in charge of tasting it. Only after everything was confirmed safe, the food and drink would be served to Lu Jing Yu.
"Everything's been checked. Everything's safe." Physician Fang said reassuringly as Aunt Wu went to the kitchen to see the dinner preparations.
"good. It's time for dinner. We'll drop this food off before it gets cold." Aunt Wu's orders to the servants.
"Good butler." Aunt Wu was leading in front. Behind him, the servants were carrying food in their hands.
Chu Fei who was in charge of carrying the red date soup had already regained her composure despite the fear in her eyes. At first he did not want to bring the soup himself and wanted to exchange it with the other maids. No one wants to alternate with him. Finally, he had to take her himself. At every sad step along the way, even though he had already gained his composure at first, he still could not hide his worries in his eyes.
Every step he took felt heavy. Each step felt like he was stepping on a sharp thorn. That was why sweat kept coming out of his forehead.
Physician Xue had just returned after checking Lu Jing Yu's condition as well as giving Eunuch Song a potion looking at Chu Fei's strange behavior from afar. He stopped his steps and greeted Aunt Wu who was in front. But his eyes glanced at Chu Fei which further made the servant girl panic.
"Our Chief Xue must immediately serve this food to the King and Empress Rui before the food turns cold." Aunt Wu saw that Physician Xue did not intend to give way. So he could only push her through.
"Ah well Aunt Wu, please pass by." Physician Xue stepped out of the way and gave way to Aunt Wu's entourage. Physician Xue looked at everyone's backs and again discovered the strangeness. The girl's back, Chu Fei curled up. He immediately looked for Physician Fang to ask if the food had actually been properly inspected.
He could have stopped Aunt Wu and checked the food, but everyone knew that every meal that was to be served was rigorously checked. So if he suspects the food is in the middle of the road, then it can't be left. Now he could only look for Physician Fang to confirm it.
Physician Fang who heard Physician Xue's suspicion towards Chu Fei furrowed his brows. For it was he who had eaten them and did not find anything wrong.
"All that food I've checked with silver needles. Besides the head chef has also tasted it and everything is safe."
"But I really have a bad feeling. Ji Yuan's. There were some ingredients that would have no effect if eaten by an ordinary person. But if it is eaten by a pregnant person it will be a catastrophe." Clearly Physician Xue expressed her idea.
"I've also heard of it but I never knew it in detail. So you think there's a problem with that girl?"
"Yes. His behavior is very suspicious." Physician Xue nodded her head confidently.
"alright. Because you feel sure we're going there now, hopefully, everything you're afraid doesn't happen."
"Hem. We're leaving now." Physician Xue was already impatient and withdrew Physician Fang's hand quickly.
In one of the gardens in the palace, Wei Qian Nian was waiting for the encouraging news which was his victory that he would soon get. He stood by the pool and enjoyed the moon. His jade-white hands occasionally threw fish food into the artificial pond filled with golden fish and lotus flowers that often bloomed.
A smile was painted on her lips that was coated in a soft red lip dye. The full moonlight that shone on her face needed her beautiful face to look even more dazzling. The breeze that blows breeze blow his hair and hanfunya made of the best silk fabric. Her performance tonight was her best performance during her stay at Shao palace.
Wei Qian Nian's beauty was indeed beyond doubt. His youthful spirit radiated through his cheerful face.
"Hail Princess Pei An Rong."
"Princess Wei Qian Nian need not be too formal. In the future Wei's daughter Qian Nian will marry one of my brothers. So it will automatically be my sister-in-law." Pei An Rong said with a smile on her lips. Their ages are not much different. Pei An Rong was only a few months older than Wei Qian Nian. Their nature is no more the same.
"The daughter of the Seven is very wise."
"I heard that princess Wei was willing to wait for King Rui huh?" Pei An Rong began to express his purpose of meeting Wei Qian Nian immediately. He doesn't like to be with someone who has more beauty than him.
"That's right. My original purpose for coming here was because my Emperor father had gifted me as King Rui's concubine. If I don't live up to my Emperor father's expectations, I will feel unsettled."
"really so. But I heard that the current King Rui has given up all his wealth of that Girl Lu pepper. That makes me very angry." Pei An Rong did not bother to hide his dislike. Although she was a few months older than Wei Qian Nian, the matter of her way of thinking and ability to maintain her composure was very much different.
Wei Qian Nian smiled looking at that innocent and naive girl of her age. If he hadn't learned how to survive in the harsh palace since he knew the world, he would have been just like this innocent Pei An Rong. But he knows how hard it is to live in a palace full of intrigue where word against or eaten takes place. The innocent Wei Qian Nian had already passed by being replaced with Wei Qian Nian who was ouenthusiastic about power.
During this time he had always been difficult to obtain information in this palace, it just so happened that there were speakers who came willingly. He will use it well.
"But I admire their love. They're so sweet. Empress Rui was so lucky to be loved by a man like king Rui." Wei Qian Nian started to spread the bait. To be able to seize the position of Empress Rui, she had to know the circumstances on their side.
"Amused what? I don't understand my brother either. Though he knew for himself that the Lu girl had played a disgusting trick to be able to marry him. At first my sister hated him. I don't know what kind of magic that girl Lu gave my sister to make her turn away." As Pei An Rong spoke, he hit the pool barrier wood.
"Most?" Wei Qian Nian was getting curious. What kind of girl did Pei Zhang Xi like.
"Yes. My sister used to have a childhood sweetheart. They both look very compatible. Who would have thought that Lu girl was talking about it pissed me off."
Wei Qian Nian cursed in his heart. Though a little bit more Pei An Rong would tell him the name of Pei Zhang Xi's little lover.
