When Jian Xiao returned to Xiaoxiang Tower after noon, Wan Yun had left the food he wanted to eat in advance, "Mother, the ones left are japonica rice and delicious side dishes. How about the fish and goat soup today?"
"Very good, I'll go there again and see if I can find out anything else." To deal with Yue Zhaoyi, the more you know, the better. "Is there anything going on at home today?"
"The emperor sent someone to bring some mulberries. He said that the queen had worked hard the day before yesterday and asked her to replenish them. By the way, she also sent a girl, saying that I was the only one around the queen and couldn't take care of her." Wan Yun said, "Jiaojiao
, came to see the empress.”
Jian Xiao took the tea and said, "Mulberry, please use our own fire to make porridge." Since the accident, Jian Xiao felt that it would be good to cook some private dishes by herself, so she opened up the small house behind Xiaoxiang Building as a kitchen.
"Jiaojiao has met your empress!" A brisk female voice spoke.
Jian Xiao looked up and was stunned by this Jiaojiao... Jian Xiao calmed down and said, "Wanyun, go and bring me the food." Wanyun Bingxue was smart and knew that Jian Xiao had something to say to Jiaojiao, so she hurriedly left.
Down
Jian Xiao and Jiaojiao were the only ones left in the room. Jian Xiao quickly stood up and said, "Jiaojiao, why is it you? Where is Yueyue?"
"Yueyue is staying with the general," Jiaojiao said. "General Tuo said that you are in danger here alone and you need me to protect you."
Hearing Tuo Jinglie, Jian Xiao felt drunk and said with a smile: "I am very safe here."
"Where is it safe? If you hadn't eaten here during those few days, there would have been no one alive in the entire Xiaoxiang Tower!" Jiaojiao said.
Jian Xiao was surprised, how did Tuo Jinglie know about this?
Jiaojiao noticed Jian Xiao's hesitation, "The general has many eyes in this palace, so don't worry, my queen."
Jian Xiao nodded. When he was in the general's mansion, he lived with Jiaojiao Yueyue. Jiaojiao was very skilled in martial arts and was always there to take care of him.
"General Tuo...is he okay?" Jian Xiao asked carefully
Jiaojiao curled her lips, "It's not good! The general fell seriously ill after he came back. Fortunately, he had a doctor with him. Now he's back in Turks and training hard every day! Day and night."
Jian Xiao sighed, this is a relationship thing. If you are frustrated in love, you must divert your attention, so you have to devote yourself to work.
Jian Xiao said calmly, "In the palace, Wanyun is reliable. I need her to gain a foothold in the palace, so you only need to be responsible for comforting me."
Jiaojiao nodded, "I know, I just want to be in the dark."
Wan Yun was standing outside the door at this time, "Mother, it's time to eat!"
Jian Xiao smiled and said, "Come in! I'm in a good mood today and I want to have a good meal!"
Jian Xiao stretched out her hand to clean it, but Jiaojiao suddenly frowned, "Why does it smell so good?"
Wan Yun hesitated for a moment and smelled Jian Xiao's hand, "It's the powder I touched in the morning."
Jiaojiao shook her head, "No, the smell on your face is completely different from the smell on your hands."
Jian Xiao also sniffed her hand. The smell was strange, very fragrant, and very familiar. Where had she come into contact with it? Let’s eat first.
In the evening, it was busy time again. Jian Xiao went over again this time. The first few rooms were already being cleaned. The room where meals were distributed was also deserted. There was no one in it, and Doumiao was not there either.
Jian Xiao walked in and took a look. It turned out that the rice had been laid out, and there were steamers underneath. The hot air was smoking the food to keep it warm. Jian Xiao saw that there was nothing to do today, and was about to leave when she found Mr. Shi coming out of the back room. Jian Xiao
Looking around, she found a sauce jar for pickles standing there. Jian Xiao hurriedly curled up behind it to hide.
I saw Eunuch Shi walking through the food in each palace in turn, stopping for a moment at each place. Jian Xiao could only see his back and wondered what he was doing. After walking around for a while, Eunuch Shi walked to the emerald-colored dishes.
Xiao knew that those were Yue Zhaoyi’s bowls and chopsticks
Eunuch Shi washed his hands and smelled it carefully. He personally put the food into the food box and left with the food box.
Jian Xiao let out a long breath, but she didn't notice herself. Yue Zhaoyi was so proud that he actually asked the eunuch in charge of the imperial kitchen to deliver the food in person. Jian Xiao curled her lips and walked out from behind the sauce vat. She frowned and smelled her sleeves.
It smells like pickles. What a tragedy. I need to take a shower when I get home.
Just as Jian Xiao was about to leave, she suddenly smelled a smell, which was very similar to the smell of Jian Xiao's hands today. Jian Xiao walked to the place where Eunuch Shi stayed and leaned over. There was another fragrance hidden under the rich smell of food, which was rich.
The aroma was fresh. Jian Xiao felt that there seemed to be a faint sheen on the bowls and chopsticks. It was because they had not been scrubbed clean.
She picked up the chopsticks and saw a white silk cloth on the side. She wiped it away, leaving oil stains on the silk cloth. Jian Xiao looked at the silk cloth and lowered her head to smell the fragrance of this thing. Jian Xiao closed her eyes and smelled it.
Search the name of this fragrance in your mind
One word jumped out, "Musk", which promotes blood circulation and dysmenorrhea. When I was in Yunyu Hall, the girls at that time all put on musk plaster, saying that it can prevent pregnancy. It is difficult to get pregnant if you are exposed to musk. Could it be that Eunuch Shi touched the bowls and chopsticks of the ladies in the palace?
Is it this thing?
I can’t complain that among the entire harem of Bijia Kingdom, only Yue Zhaoyi is pregnant. No matter how favored others are, they will not get pregnant. It turns out that someone secretly drugged her.
This Yue Zhaoyi, a little girl from the market, actually has such ambitions and means? If exposed at this time, the clan will be exterminated.
"Who are you?" A voice sounded behind Jian Xiao. Jian Xiao put the silk cloth away and put it in her sleeves.
Jian Xiao turned around and saw Eunuch Shi staring at her suspiciously. Jian Xiao also stared at Eunuch Shi. He asked again, "Who are you?"
It seemed that he didn't know her. Jian Xiao raised her face and said, "Eunuch Shi, my mother-in-law sent a message that we will no longer use the porridge from the imperial kitchen. Can we replace it with the latest vegetable stir-fry?"
Eunuch Shi looked at her, "Which palace are you from?"
"Xiaoxiang Tower!" Jian Xiao said
"It turns out it belongs to Jian Jieyu!" Eunuch Shi spoke with a hint of sarcasm. It seems that the big fuss this morning made Xiaoxiang Tower and the Imperial Kitchen take over. "If you want to add dishes to the food in the palace, you have to add it."
Money matters!”
Jian Xiao nodded, "What Eunuch Shi said is that I have told the empress a long time ago that you can just tell the emperor what kind of food you want to eat. The emperor also said that the father-in-law in the imperial dining room is very good, so I said it was impossible. I still didn't believe it."
!" He said and left
When Eunuch Shi heard that it was the emperor who was coming, his expression changed, "Hey, I was so dim that I couldn't see clearly just now. What does Jian Jieyu want to eat? Although I will tell the servants to do it."
Jian Xiao curled her lips, "Forget it, Eunuch Shi didn't offend our mother on the first or second day anyway. I'm just here to remind you, don't put all your eggs in one basket." After Jian Xiao said that, he turned around and left.
, I’ll scare you first, then treat me well these days.
Eunuch Shi was left with a look of astonishment on his face.
