When I saw the fifth row of medicine cabinets, I finally saw the word "arsenic", and the medicine cabinet was right at the bottom. There was no need to climb up the ladder. I quickly opened the drawer quietly and put some arsenic in my bag.
After closing the drawer, she pretended to be nonchalant and said with a smile: "There is no need to try again. My two father-in-laws have extraordinary memories. I really admire them."
Amid the proud smiles of Eunuch Sun and Eunuch Sun, she said: "I have to go to the steward to give my order. I'm going back now. I'll talk to my two father-in-law another day."
Eunuch Sun nodded, and after Qi Jia left, he said to the eunuch beside him: "It is said that Qi Jia is an arrogant person. It seems that he is doing well today and is not like the rumors."
The eunuch next to her smiled and said: "Don't you see what her status is today, and how can she still be arrogant? To be honest, she is worse than us now."
"That's true." Eunuch Sun smiled, stopped talking, and continued to work, unaware that the arsenic that was poisonous enough to kill people had been taken away by Qi Jia.
After Qi Jia left the Imperial Pharmacy, she returned step by step to where she was currently hospitalized in the Ministry of Internal Affairs. It was a simple bungalow with eight people per room, and she only occupied one of the positions.
Qi Jia locked the door, carefully took out the kit, and looked at where she could hide this thing in the house. She didn't dare to bring it with her, otherwise if she accidentally touched it, and then forgot to wash her hands, she went directly
If you eat, you are poisoning yourself.
After thinking for a long time, she used a chair as a footrest and placed the kit on top of the cabinet. Unless someone was standing with a stool like her, they would not be able to see it.
After placing the tips, she went outside to get a basin of water and carefully washed the arsenic on her hands. At the same time, she was thinking about how to put medicine in Liu's food without anyone discovering that she had done it. Of course Liu
She was going to die, but she had no intention of dying with Liu.
She knew that Mrs. Liu was no longer qualified to use the small kitchen after she was demoted to the imperial concubine and moved out of the main hall. All food was delivered through the imperial dining room. In other words, if she wanted to do anything, she had to do it in the imperial dining room. Although
The Ministry of Internal Affairs would sometimes send some things to the Imperial Kitchen, and she could use this to go there. However, the Imperial Kitchen was always crowded with people, and if she didn't pay attention, people would find her out, so she had to think carefully before doing so.
Night always comes after sunset and always exits at sunrise. It has been like this since the beginning of the world and has never changed at all.
In the early morning of this day, Qian Moduo sent someone to deliver some things to the imperial kitchen. He originally called another palace man, but as soon as he walked out of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Qi Jia took the initiative to take over the errand for that palace man. The palace man would not
He refused and quickly handed the thing to her. This so-called thing
, it was a large bucket of fresh mandarin fish that had just been brought into the palace. The dozens of mandarin fish plus the water weighed about a hundred kilograms. Even though there was a cart to load it, it was still quite laborious to push it. Qi Jia's push was full.
My head was sweating profusely and my hands were weak, so I could barely push the cart to the door of the imperial kitchen.
An Lu led several eunuchs out. His face looked rounder than before. When he saw Qi Jia, he was surprised and said: "Why are you here to deliver these fish today?"
Qi Jia wiped her sweat and said, "He was a little uncomfortable, so I brought it to him."
An Lu also asked casually, nodded after hearing her answer, and motioned to the little eunuch below to carry the barrel in. It was getting late, and the masters of each palace were still waiting for their meals.
Seeing that An Lu was about to leave, Qi Jia quickly said: "Mr. An, this servant is a little thirsty. Can you ask for a bowl of water?"
An Lu glanced at her and said, "Okay, come in and I'll get someone to scoop a bowl of water for you."
"Thank you, Mr. An." Qi Jia thanked him repeatedly and followed him into the imperial dining room. At this moment, cooking had begun in the huge imperial dining room, which was filled with various aromas, stimulating people's appetite.
Qi Jia came to one of the cooks with water and pretended to be curious: "Father, which master are you cooking for?"
The cook looked back at her and said, "This is lunch for Madam Yu, but the dishes we are cooking are all cold dishes. The hot dishes should be cooked when the time is almost up, otherwise they will get cold easily."
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Qi Jia's spirits perked up and she quickly asked: "Does each master have separate dishes?"
"This is natural. Otherwise, if they are mixed together, what will happen if something goes wrong? Moreover, every master has different tastes, so naturally they have to be divided into different categories. However, there are small concubines in the palaces of Concubine Yu, Concubine Jin, Concubine Jin, and Concubine Cheng.
The kitchen doesn’t often allow us to deliver meals.”
Qi Jia turned her eyes and asked, knowingly: "What about Yongshou Palace? Do you want the imperial dining room to deliver meals now, or do you still use the small kitchen?"
The cook smiled and said, "You mean Liu promised that since she was no longer a concubine, the small kitchen has been disabled. Three meals a day are served from our royal kitchen." After that, he looked at the little eunuch who was cutting vegetables next to him.
He pursed his lips and said, "Well, Xiao Nanzi is responsible for delivering meals to Yongshou Palace."
Qi Jia suppressed the joy in her heart and wanted to get close to the eunuch called Xiao Nanzi, but was interrupted by An Lu, "Have you not finished drinking the water? Go back as soon as you finish."
Qi Jia just came here today to explore the situation. Now that she knew that Xiao Nanzi was responsible for delivering meals to Yongshou Palace, her goal was achieved, so she immediately agreed and left the imperial dining room.
In the next few days, every time it was almost time to deliver meals, she would wait in the imperial dining room on the way to Yongshou Palace. Sure enough, she found that it was Xiao Nanzi every time. But she knew that it was not easy to do anything. If she went there rashly,
Looking for Xiao Nanzi might arouse suspicion. What should I do?
Qi Jia thought about it for a long time but could not think of a way to administer the medicine without showing up. However, she was unwilling to give up like this. She struggled for a long time and finally decided to take the risk.
Summer has begun in April, and the sun is much stronger than in spring. Although it is not as hot as midsummer, it is already quite hot. If you walk for a long time, you will sweat.
Xiao Nanzi carried the food box in one hand and wiped the sweat from his forehead with the other hand and left the imperial dining room. He was always afraid of the heat, but he was placed in the dining room. In summer, the imperial dining room was like a steamer, and it was unbearably hot.
No. Since April, I have been sweating profusely every time I came out of the imperial dining room. In comparison, although the sun is fierce outside, it is at least not so boring. Moreover, there are many trees on the way to Yongshou Palace.
It's quite cool under the shade of the trees.
On this day, he was walking under the shade of a tree as usual. He deliberately walked slowly to take advantage of the cool weather. Unexpectedly, halfway through, a person suddenly rushed out of the thorn and knocked him to the ground.
The food box in his hand also fell to the ground.
Xiao Nanzi stroked the sore spot and said, "Oh, who is this? Don't you have eyes?"
