Chapter 1402 The Foolish Empress 25
After the chief steward went out, Xining looked at the imperial doctor: "Why are you still here?"
The imperial doctor, who was enjoying the excitement, was startled when he heard the empress say: "I told you to look after the dog, why are you still here?"
The imperial doctor choked and could only bite the bullet and said: "I will go immediately."
"Come back!" Xining called the imperial doctor: "Find out what kind of poison it is as soon as possible. Don't wait until I can't wait anymore. You must know that there are people who want your position."
If the person in this position is gone, and the carrot in the carrot pit is gone, a pit will remain.
Why not? The radishes must have been pulled out, and they were cut and put into the pot.
The imperial doctor's heart skipped a beat, and before leaving, he promised that he would do his best to find out what the poison was as soon as possible.
The imperial doctor ran to take care of the dog. Xining looked at the aunt in the palace next to him: "I'm hungry!"
Grandma was stunned. She was poisoned just now because of what she ate, and now she still dared to eat it. She was very generous. So he saluted: "My slave, please bring me a bowl of white fungus and lotus seed soup."
The corner of Xi Ning's mouth twitched slightly. Tremella and lotus seed soup, a standard dish in palace dramas. Bring them to you when you're hungry, bring them to you when you're thirsty, and bring them afternoon and night snacks.
After all, Mammy was an old lady in the palace. She knew at a glance that the Empress did not want to eat, so she asked: "What does Your Majesty want to eat?"
I want to eat a lot, but there are currently no stir-fried dishes, oil is very expensive, and lard is generally used.
She thought for a while: "Get a roast chicken!"
roast chicken? It was Grandma's turn to have her mouth cramped. There was an emperor who had just woken up and wanted to eat roast chicken. But what the empress said was an imperial edict, so she could only agree and go out to the kitchen to ask someone to cook roast chicken.
Feeling a little tired, Xining leaned back and squinted his eyes for a while, and then the queen was carried up.
The queen ran in all the way, so she should have run to her as soon as she got off the chariot.
When he arrived at the bed, he saw her with her eyes closed. After kneeling down, she asked anxiously: "Didn't you say that His Majesty is awake? Why is he still asleep?"
The maid next to her lowered her voice: "Your Majesty was awake just now."
Xining opened his eyes, groaned, and used his hands to support the bed.
"Your Majesty, be careful. Slow down." The queen and the palace maid hurriedly stepped forward, helped her up, and stuffed a big pillow behind her back.
After Xining leaned back, he looked at the queen and frowned slightly: "What's wrong? Your eyes are swollen like walnuts. Who made you cry like this?"
The queen burst into tears and laughed: "I saw that your majesty was still lying down, so I got anxious and lost my decency. I hope that your majesty will be punished."
"Come again!" Xining scolded with fondness: "Don't ask me to punish you at every turn. Am I a fool? Don't say these words in the future."
"Yes, it's my minister..." The Queen quickly stopped when she realized that she was going to say something sinful again and asked the Empress to punish her.
"You want me to punish you again?" Xining smiled and shook his head helplessly: "You have formed a habit. Change it slowly!"
"I have to change, I must change!" The queen was so moved that her eyes lit up.
"There are a lot of things you want to change." Xining looked sideways: "Where is the imperial concubine?"
The chief steward who came in with the Queen said: "The Concubine Jun knew that she was wrong, so she went back and thought about it behind closed doors."
Xining sneered: "Find someone to see if he smashed anything. If he didn't smash anything, tell me that I will send someone to check on him. By the way, bring the imperial doctor with you. If he smashed something..."
After thinking for a moment: "Then tell him that if you want to smash it, you can smash it, but you have to ask him to ask for it from his family. The treasury does not have so much for him to squander. Take the imperial doctor away. If he wants the imperial doctor, he will send someone to ask for it. .”
Awesome enough! The chief steward smiled so hard that his chubby face turned pale: "Yes, I will send someone to do it right now. Your Majesty, please rest assured." Xining nodded, turned to the queen and said, "That's great of you too. If someone takes advantage of you, why should you be asked to do anything? If you encounter any of the following offenses in the future, just give him a slap and throw him back to where he is, but try not to beat him to death. Ruin your reputation as a virtuous person.”
It's quite straightforward to say it, but when you say it, you also treat him as one of your own. Concubine Jun, who had just gone to Jiaofang Hall to invite him, had a cheek as swollen as a steamed bun and was almost unrecognizable.
On the way here, the ceremonial guard made many people in the palace look at him curiously, but they all knelt down to salute, stood up, and then looked over again.
On the left and right of the queen's phoenix chariot, one is the most favored concubine in the palace, and the other is the chief steward next to the empress. The two of them walked with the queen, and it was obvious that the empress supported the queen.
Looking at Concubine Jun's face, which has become swollen like a pig's head, and thinking about how arrogant and arrogant she usually is, she is secretly laughing. After a lot of discussion, some people even said that this time Concubine Jun's good days have finally come to an end.
The queen also knew that it was the empress who had gained face for him, and she didn't know what to say to express her gratitude. He could only nod his head: "Yes, I have written it down."
At this time, a bowl of medicine was placed on the plate, the medicine man brought it, and the chief steward took it personally.
Just as he was about to bring it over, he heard the empress say: "My stomach is still empty, so it is not appropriate to take medicine."
The chief steward said enthusiastically: "Whatever your majesty wants to eat, I will go and get it immediately."
Xining said: "I have already asked someone to get it."
At this time, the aunt came in with the little palace maid carrying a plate.
A roast chicken was cut into small pieces, arranged neatly, placed in a basin, and brought over.
"How can we get meat?" The chief steward couldn't help frowning and scolding: "Your Majesty has just finished vomiting, so he should eat some light meat porridge."
"I want to eat roast chicken! Bring it here." The empress wanted to eat, but she couldn't stop her, so she had to bring it over.
Xining picked up the chopsticks, took a piece and put it into his mouth. The meat is grilled to a crisp on the outside and tender on the inside. The skin on the outside is actually a bit crispy, but the meat on the inside is tender and delicious.
But there are still some dissatisfaction points: "What are you cutting it for? It tastes good when you tear it apart."
The empress rolled up her sleeves, pulled off the chicken legs or wings, held them in her hands and started eating... She was so ecstatic that everyone was sweating.
After eating a few pieces, the chief steward became anxious: "Your Majesty, eat less. If you continue to eat, you will lose your appetite."
Xi would rather ignore it and continue eating.
The chief steward could only look at the queen: "Queen, look at this, this..."
The queen was cruel, picked up the roast chicken that was placed in front of Xi Ning, and handed it to the chief steward.
"Hey, hey..." Xining held up his chopsticks and watched helplessly as the roast chicken was being moved away: "Give me another piece, just one piece."
But the roast chicken was still taken away. After receiving the plate, the chief steward passed it to the young eunuch next to him. With a glare, the little eunuch ran out with the roast chicken as if running for his life.
"Roast chicken, my roast chicken..." Xining sniffed sadly.
She doesn't look like an emperor, she looks like a little girl.
The Queen smiled, took the chopsticks in her hand, and handed them to the maid waiting beside her: "When Your Majesty is well, I will bake one for Your Majesty myself."
As soon as he finished speaking, the smile on his face froze. The meat that was roasted just now was poisoned by His Majesty. Still thinking about roasting chicken in the future?
