After remarrying with my mother, I walked across the capital by hugging my thigh

Chapter 227

Lin Youyi looked at Wufu in astonishment, obviously extremely surprised.

After all, at the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet, directly poisoning her was even more stupid than the previous time when Yan Liben had someone kidnap her halfway!

Xiao Qinyao had conspired with the second prince for so long, so she couldn't have thought of such a bad idea, right?
Moreover, poisoning, even if it is done without leaving traces, it will definitely not be traceless!

What's more, this incident happened at the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet. The Emperor Longyan was furious, even if he turned the whole palace upside down, he must trace the source!
Therefore, Lin Youyi really couldn't believe that the second prince and Xiao Qinyao together, how could they be so stupid?

Soon, Wu Fu's answer solved Lin Youyi's doubts.

"No, the shredded duck with dried ginger is made with licorice. After the duck is marinated, it is made into a dish. Miss, you have been taking Daphne Flower Tea recently. And Daphne Flower and Licorice are taken together. , will produce toxin, it is taboo!"

After Lin Youyi heard this, she couldn't help being in a daze for a moment.

"Then what will happen if I take these two things together?"

"If it's mild, it's a rash all over the body, and the itching is unbearable. It can't be relieved until the skin is cut open! If it's severe, it's not easy to breathe. If it's not cured, the five internal organs will fail and die."

"It's so serious..."

Lin Youyi read silently.

Immediately, she seemed to remember something again, and asked urgently.

"This dish was originally on the birthday banquet menu?"

Wu Fu shook his head expressionlessly, "Not here!"

In other words, it was really thanks to Rong Cheng's gossip that Wu Fu was able to detect the problem keenly.

Just then, when Wu Fu went to report to Mu Zheng, he overheard Rong Cheng and Mu Zheng joking.

He said that there is an imperial chef in the imperial dining room who can make medicinal meals, and he used food supplements to regulate the body of the empress dowager, and the empress dowager's appetite and body were obviously improved a lot.

Even the menu of today's birthday banquet, the imperial chef changed the menu back and forth according to the case written by Rong Cheng to the Queen Mother.

Wufu remembered at that time that Lin Youyi had been taking medicine to recuperate her body because of her previous injury.

At first, she was just worried that the prescription Lin Youyi took would conflict with the menu of the Queen Mother's birthday banquet.

Therefore, I thought about going to the imperial dining room to check.

It's just that I didn't expect that this investigation would really find out the problem.

"Wufu, if I eat less of this dish, will there be any major problems?"

"Miss, what do you mean..."

"You just need to tell me that if I eat that dried ginger shredded duck, it will cause discomfort, but it won't cause any serious problems."

"All soup and meat can be eaten for three!"

"Okay, I see, you go down and wait."

"Yes, the slaves retire."

After Wufu retreated, Lin Youyi seemed to know nothing, and continued to sit at the banquet in peace.

Concubine Xiao was proud of Lin Youyi, so she pulled her to sit beside her, chatting with her from time to time.

Especially when singing and dancing came on stage, Concubine Xiao was full of praise.

"You can tell at a glance that you must have made up this dance. Look at this dance, it's cheerful, elegant, and really extraordinary."

"Young lady, the little girl you praised is ashamed! If you want to say that it is extraordinary, it has to be composed by the eldest lady. Really, this song should only exist in the sky, how many times can you hear it in the world!"

"All good! All good!"

While chatting warmly with Concubine Xiao, Lin Youyi glanced at those self-righteous planners from time to time.

Naturally, when Lin Youyi was observing others, others were also observing her.

Among them, Xiao Qinyao was the one who collided with her eyes most frequently.

Lin Youyi and Xiao Qinyao had the same thoughts.

Therefore, Lin Youyi could tell at a glance that behind Xiao Qinyao's composure was the tension and anxiety that could not be concealed.

Until, when Lin Youyi saw that a slave had asked the prince to leave the seat, her hanging heart suddenly fell to the ground.

When things come to an end, what should come will always come!
Thinking of this, Lin Youyi first pretended to glance at Mu Zheng casually, and then turned her gaze to Xiao Yuan.

Immediately afterwards, she reached for the spoon, counted in her heart, and drank three mouthfuls of clear soup with shredded duck with dried ginger.

After drinking the warm soup, within a quarter of an hour, Lin Youyi felt a little uncomfortable.

She raised her arms involuntarily and rubbed her slightly itchy neck.

Afterwards, Lin Youyi looked at Concubine Xiao with flushed cheeks, gently parted her red lips, and said slowly.

"Concubine Xiao, please let me know that the little girl may have eaten something unpleasant and suddenly felt unwell. I am afraid that she will not be able to stay at the banquet, so as not to disturb the Queen Mother's elegance. Please let the little girl step back first and take a rest. .”

"Yo, your face..."

Concubine Xiao looked at Lin Youyi with eyes full of surprise, and then raised her hand to call the maid of honor behind her to come forward.

Seeing this, Lin Youyi hurriedly raised her hand to stop Concubine Xiao.

"Wait a minute, empress dowager. Today is the empress dowager's birthday. The little girl doesn't want to touch the empress dowager's brow, which will displease the empress dowager. Besides, the little girl is just a little uncomfortable. I think it's not a big problem, as long as I move a little Just rest."

"That's fine, then hurry up and go to the back room to rest. If you still feel uncomfortable, let the servants tell me! Did you hear that? But don't grit your teeth alone!"

"Well, my little girl, thank you for your concern, Concubine Xiao."

"You are still so polite with me, go and rest."

Concubine Xiao watched Lin Youyi walk along the corridor and into the apse with the support of the maid, and then she exhaled slowly.

With Lin Youyi's departure, everyone's attention was also taken away by her.

The first one is Xiao Qinyao!
When Xiao Qinyao saw Lin Youyi's abnormal expression, she got up and left the table.

She first glanced at the second prince quickly, and then, on the pretext of going out to catch her breath, she chased after Lin Youyi in the direction she left.

The second prince watched Lin Youyi and Xiao Qinyao leave the table one after another, thinking in his heart that a good show is about to be staged!

He turned his head slightly, and after winking at his close attendant, he continued to turn his head, and continued to chat and laugh happily with the courtiers around him.

And the dog slave of the second prince understood, turned around and stepped back quickly.

The third person to respond was Xiao Yu'an.

He and the Marquis of Chengyang were accepting the other courtiers, and when they turned their heads, they found that Lin Youyi was not in the seat, and they immediately became suspicious.

Immediately afterwards, Xiao Yu'an discovered that Xiao Qinyao also disappeared.

The combination of these two things immediately made Xiao Yu'an feel more and more uneasy.
