The crazy daily life of the mistress

Chapter 113 Poisonous Medicine

Upon hearing this, the Queen Mother couldn't help but burst into laughter: "Hahahahahaha... Lu Yi's mouth is as if covered with honey. Did she eat something sweet today? How could she say such pleasing words?"

Lu Yi replied sincerely, "Your Majesty, I am just speaking my mind."

At this time, Nanny Ru came over with a few plates of exquisite snacks in her hands, smiling, and greeted Lu Yi enthusiastically: "Master Lu, come and try these cakes."

Lu Yi was secretly delighted, and felt that the title "Lord Lu" was particularly pleasant to the ear. A happy smile bloomed on her face involuntarily, and she quickly responded: "Thank you, Madam Ru!"

At this moment, Madam Hui came in carefully carrying a bowl of steaming hot medicine and said softly to the Queen Mother, "Your Majesty, please drink this bowl of medicine as soon as possible!"

The Queen Mother frowned slightly and complained, "This medicine is too bitter. I really don't want to drink it! Besides, I feel that my body is much better now. I don't need to take medicine anymore."

Seeing this, Lu Yi quickly put down the exquisite pastry in her hand and asked with concern: "Empress Dowager, what kind of medicine are you taking now?"

Nanny Hui replied respectfully, "Lord Lu, this is the decoction made from the prescription prescribed by the imperial physician when the Empress Dowager accidentally caught a cold a few days ago."

Lu Yi stood up gracefully, walked over, gently picked up the bowl of medicine, carefully brought it close to her nose, and sniffed it gently.

In an instant, a strong and pungent smell like a demon came to her face like a storm, and she couldn't help but be secretly shocked in her heart - this was undoubtedly the smell of poison!

However, her face was as calm as a peaceful lake, as if nothing had happened. She put the medicine bowl back to its place as if nothing had happened, and said in a gentle voice: "Since your majesty is no longer seriously ill, there is really no need to force yourself to drink this medicine."

There was a trace of worry on Nanny Hui's face, as if she wanted to say something but was hesitant.

The Queen Mother was in a cheerful mood at this time, as bright as a flower blooming in spring, and responded with a smile: "Well, let's do as Lu Yi said and take away the medicine!"

Lu Yi looked at the Queen Mother with a smile on her face and said softly, "Queen Mother, please let me accompany you inside to rest for a while."

You just got up not long ago, and you’re resting again?

The Queen Mother stared at Lu Yi's expression, and she knew that she had something to say, so she nodded slightly to express her tacit approval. With Lu Yi's careful support, the two of them entered the bedroom together.

As soon as she entered, Lu Yi couldn't wait to speak: "Queen Mother, the bowl of medicine you just drank contains a deadly poison."

The Queen Mother was shocked when she heard this, and asked in astonishment: "Lu Yi, is this true? Do you have solid evidence?"

Lu Yi replied with a firm look, "Your Majesty, I can say that since I was seriously ill last time, my five senses have become unusually sharp. When Nanny brought the medicine just now, I immediately smelled a strange odor. After a careful sniff, I am sure that there is indeed poison mixed in this medicine."

The bowl of medicine was carefully brought over by Nanny Hui, who also prepared the medicine carefully and meticulously herself.

Although Lu Yi was full of doubts, she did not dare to speak carelessly.

She knew very well that this matter was of great importance and any mistake could cause an uproar.

Therefore, she decided to report everything she knew to the Queen Mother, and let the Queen Mother make her own judgment and analysis of the reasons.

After listening to Lu Yi's statement, the Queen Mother frowned slightly, pondered for a moment and then slowly said: "Ahui has been with me for decades and is loyal to me. She would never poison me. It seems that the problem may be with the prescription prescribed by the imperial physician, or the medicinal materials provided by the Imperial Hospital."

Lu Yi stood quietly by the side, silent.

She understood that her duty was only to appease the Queen Mother, and as for finding out the truth, it was not her responsibility.

However, now that the key doubts have been pointed out to the Queen Mother, I believe that with her wisdom and means, she will be able to thoroughly investigate the matter.

All Lu Yi needs to do is wait patiently and await the good news from the Queen Mother.
