The Queen Doesn't Want to Die
23. Physician Fang Puts Bait For King Rui
Mo Han did as Fang Ji Yuan asked to come to Lan Hua's pavilion to tell Lu Jing Yu that Pei Zhang Xi was sick. The message was not delivered directly. It was through Xiao Bei and asked him to keep it a secret.
"Xiao Bei accompany me to the kitchen to make porridge. Your Majesty must be sick from eating at my place tonight." Said Lu Jing Yu after hearing what I said to Xiao Bei regarding Pei Zhang Xi's condition.
"Good empress." Xiao Bei immediately put on a coat to cover Lu Jing Yu's hanfu. The night is very cold. Don't let the queen get sick.
Lu Jing Yu went to Huang Zuan's pavilion after marketing a bowl of porridge with sesame oil and black cumin. The moment he arrived in front of Huang Zuan's pavilion, Mo Han immediately greeted him.
"How is His Majesty doing?"
"Prophet Fang is examining His Majesty inside." Answer Mo Han. He was not used to lying or talking. So he handed the heavy duty to Physician Fang who had an idea.
"Emm... Can I come in?"
"Ten. of course the Empress." Mo Han nervously allowed. If under normal circumstances, he would never play allowing someone to enter Pei Zhang Xi's room even though it was Consort Su himself.
"All right." Lu Jing Yu walked forward after gesturing for Xiao Bei who was carrying a drum of porridge to follow him in.
Inside the room, the bitter aroma of herbs instantly smelled. An empty bowl lay on the table. Indicates that the bowl was placed carelessly. Pei Zhang Xi who was still sleeping after taking his medicine still closed his eyes peacefully. Beside him, Physician Fang was still playing his drama. Checking out Pei Zhang Xi was like being accepted pious in general.
"Empress." Fang Ji Yuan turned around and saluted. His eyes showed deep worry. He was clearly a loyal man.
"Md. How is His Majesty?"
"In reply to the Empress, Her Majesty's old illness suddenly relapsed tonight."
"Old disease?" Lu Jing Yu knitted her brows.
"Yes. That way. Back when His Majesty was at the border often late to eat even sometimes not eat all day. Even a few days His Majesty did not eat due to some conditions. That is why His Majesty's stomach is starting to be unstable and very sensitive. Especially against the spicy and sour taste." Said Fang Ji Yuan while noticing Lu Jing Yu's change in expression.
"Magh." Lu Jing Yu muttered after hearing the description of Pei Zhang Xi's illness that Doctor Fang had referred to.
"What Empress?" Ji Yuan's Facebook asked as he heard Lu Jing Yu's vague, vague voice.
"It's okay. Tell me the specific condition." Adhering to Lu Jing Yu's request, Fang Ji Yuan explained Pei Zhang Xi's condition in detail. In fact, this is not appropriate and is not allowed in the profession. But for some reason when he saw Lu Jing Yu he did not suspect that the woman might just be a spy sent by the enemy. Instead, he trusted the woman completely.
"It turns out so. Alright. Then it is true that I brought this porridge to His Majesty. Inside is Sesame Oil and Black Cumin which is great for stomach health." Lu Jing Yu nodded her head in understanding before showing the porridge on the tray to Fang Ji Yuan.
"It's...." Fang Ji Yuan hesitated a little. Where did Lu Jing Yu know that? Didn't the rumor say that the First Miss of Prime Minister Lu's residence was a girl who couldn't do anything? Then what is this?
But inside Lu Jing Yu's mind was another. He had thought that as a loyal subordinate, Fang Ji Yuan would definitely suspect that he was mixing poison or other harms in the porridge. So he hurriedly explained.
"Tabib Fang need not worry. This porridge is safe. I don't mix any harmful ingredients let alone poison. If Physician Fang doesn't believe he can use a silver needle to test it. Or let me taste in front of the healer."
"No-no. I know the rules. It's also for my own good. So I asked for help to check if this was anything wrong and was willing to be witnessed later. I don't want to be blamed for things I didn't do."
"Good Empress." Fang Ji Master finally took out his silver needle and used it to inspect the porridge. It was not enough to get there, Fang Ji Yuan also took out a magical poison insect that could find poison.
"Everything is clean, Empress. And this porridge is also very good for His Majesty's condition. It can be given when His Majesty wakes up later."
"alright. Xiao Bei call the maid to help His Majesty later."
Xiao Bei had yet to step up when Physician Fang forbade him. "I'm sorry Empress."
"What's wrong?" Asked Lu Jing Yu in astonishment.
"So like this the Empress, Her Majesty doesn't like others coming into her room. Especially waiters. All this time no woman had entered this room. Even Consort Su never." Fang Ji Yuan's. The bait is eaten. Can't get loose. So he had to let the fish eat the bait deeper.
"Oooh, then you call Mo Han or Mo Ting."
Again Fang Ji Yuan stopped Xiao Bei's leg. "What if the Empress is the only one waiting for Her Majesty here. Mo Han and Mo Ting were just bodyguards who could not. I have a lot to do too. I cannot entrust His Majesty's circumstances to a random person. The empress is the most suitable candidate."
"All right then. After all His Majesty became like this too a little because of me. So I will take care of him as my sincere apology.
Fang Ji Yuan smiled at the corner of his lips. The fish has entered the net. Now it remained how Pei Zhang Xi would treat the fish he caught for him. Hopefully the attitude of his feet does not make his struggle make the opportunity to be in vain.
"All right, Empress, then I'll resign." Feng Ji Yuan packed his medicine box and left in a hurry.
"I'll keep His Majesty here tonight. You just go back." Lu Jing Yu spoke to Xiao Bei for the money waiting for him at the side.
"The servant will wait outside. If the Empress needs anything the Empress can call a servant."
"Hem." Lu Jing Yu nodded then took off her coat and sat down on the chair while reading the book she had picked up from the bookshelf in the room. Seeing that Xiao Bei came out.
