Chapter 241 Pheasant Baby Soup
"Pleasant Master. I heard that you came to get food for the twelfth prince."
Before Hai Lan had the time to sprinkle the powder into the soup, the eunuch in charge of the soup in the imperial kitchen suddenly came out.
Hai Lan's hands trembled with fear, and the medicinal powder that she had originally intended to put in the Yangxin Palace fell into the pot of boiling pheasant soup.
"Yes. I haven't been out for a long time. Yongqi has had a cold recently, so I prepared food myself. The master's only prince, I will always take good care of him."
Hailan's heart was pounding as she talked to the eunuch. She saw the eunuch take out a silver needle.
"Master Yu, please wait a moment. I need to test it before I can let you get the soup."
Hailan stepped back slightly towards the door.
The medicine was obtained from outside the palace, and people outside the palace said that silver needles could not detect poison. But Hailan had never tried it, and she was very flustered.
"Empress Yu."
"Hmm?" Hailan was in a panic when she heard Lancui calling her. She responded in confusion.
It was a familiar yet unfamiliar voice. Hailan clutched the handkerchief tightly. If she had a moment of regret about the medicine falling into the soup pot, when she looked back and saw the smile on Lan Cui's face, she no longer regretted it.
Why was it that her sister, the empress of the Qing Dynasty, was neglected in the Yikun Palace, while Wei Yanwan, this vixen, was controlling the emperor and the harem?
They all felt sorry for their sister, so they should all be buried with her.
Hailan's eyes turned red unconsciously.
"Master Yu, the soup is fine. I will serve a bowl to the twelfth prince."
Hailan was still feeling nervous when the young eunuch called her. When she heard that they wanted to serve soup to Yongqi, Hailan hesitated.
"It's okay. Let's call Lan Cuisheng first. I heard that the emperor wants the imperial concubine to have lunch together. It's better not to delay."
Hai Lan looked carefully and saw that there was not much pheasant soup. She did not come here to drink the soup, so Wei Yanwan's people had to take away the poisonous soup first.
Hailan declined politely, but Lancui did not politely decline. Instead, she took the food box from the Yangxin Palace, got the soup and left.
Hai Lan's eyes closely followed Lan Cui's figure as she left.
Everything seemed too easy. Hailan had waited for three years, and Lancui took it away just like that. There was not a single setback. No one doubted it.
Hailan couldn't believe that the tense feeling of revenge was coming like this.
"Master Yu, the twelfth prince's soup is ready."
"There are just two bowls of soup, and only the bottom is left. Hehe."
It was not until the young eunuch handed Hai Lan the food box that Hai Lan truly felt that she was going to succeed, and success was just around the corner.
Hai Lan didn't look carefully at how much soup was left in the pot. She only knew that all the soup would be drunk by the unfaithful emperor.
She only needs to expose Wei Yanwan at the right time to save her sister.
Hailan was nervous, and she was still nervous after leaving the imperial kitchen. She was so nervous that she couldn't help wanting to follow Lancui to take a look. She was afraid that something might happen. Very scared.
Hailan followed Lancui carefully all the way. When passing by Zhongcui Palace, Lancui suddenly stopped. Hailan saw Kexin and Lancui talking and laughing in front of Concubine Chun, but she didn't know what they were talking about.
Hailan wanted to get closer out of curiosity.
But someone suddenly called her.
"My Lord. Why are you here? The twelfth prince has recovered from his cold. I am hungry, so I came to see if you have made the pheasant soup."
Hailan turned around and saw the little palace maid serving in the palace. She was startled and moved the food box in her hand.
"I took it. Then I went back."
Hailan was about to hand the food box to the little palace maid, but she was "unexpectedly" so cold that she couldn't hold the box. The box fell to the ground, and the pheasant soup was completely spilled.
"What's the noise?"
Lan Cui and Ke Xin were also startled by Hai Lan's movement. However, when they looked, they only saw the little palace maid picking up the food box on the ground, but not Hai Lan, who was frozen in the corner because of nervousness.
"It seems to be a maid from Concubine Yu's palace. She is probably looking for Concubine Yu. I just saw Concubine Yu in the imperial kitchen. She also asked for pheasant soup for the twelfth prince."
Lan Cui didn't care. Ke Xin didn't take it too seriously either. She took the food box from Lan Cui.
"Well, Concubine Yu has been staying in the Yanxi Palace for three years. Even if she has some thoughts, they are all spent on the 12th Prince. Don't worry too much.
I still want to thank you. Our master is dressing up. Over the years, the Imperial Concubine has given our master many opportunities to accompany the Emperor. "
During the three years that Ruyi was under house arrest, Yanwan got along very well with the six imperial concubines. Even Concubine Chun, with whom she was not on good terms, received a lot of care from Yanwan.
Yan Wan often asked Concubine Chun's children who had left the palace to come to the palace to pay their respects, and she would always ask Concubine Chun to go to the emperor whenever she had the chance.
Like today, Yan Wan was supposed to accompany the emperor for lunch, but she was not feeling well, so she gave the opportunity to Concubine Chun. Lan Cui was even more thoughtful and personally brought the prepared pheasant soup.
Just for the convenience of Concubine Chun.
"Well, the Imperial Concubine said that Concubine Chun is older and is already a senior member of the Qiandi Palace. Even if the master is the Imperial Concubine, he cannot go over Concubine Chun."
"Besides, doesn't Concubine Chun often give you delicious food? What kind of cakes did she prepare today?"
Ke Xin was also holding a food box in her hand, which contained the osmanthus cake that Concubine Chun gave to Yan Wan. Ke Xin hurriedly gave the food box to Lan Cui.
When Lan Cui said this, Ke Xin was already very happy. The two of them said nothing more and went their separate ways.
When Hailan went to look again, she saw Lancui carrying the food box back to Yongshou Palace. Hailan thought that the emperor would be able to drink the bowl of poisonous pheasant soup soon.
Hailan felt very cold all over, not because she was wearing too thin clothes, but for some reason, Hailan was sweating all over, and when the cold wind blew, Hailan felt freezing.
The little palace maid also cleaned up the leftovers on the ground, and Hai Lan loosened the handkerchief that had been pulled.
"Let's go."
Hai Lan said let’s go, but didn’t say where to go. She turned in the direction of the imperial kitchen.
"Master, are you going to the imperial kitchen?"
The little palace maid asked attentively.
Hailan nodded and said:
"The pheasant soup for Yongji was spilled. He has been suffering from a cold these days and still needs a bowl of thick soup to drive away the cold.
The food in the imperial kitchen doesn’t look that good.”
Hai Lan didn't dare to ask the imperial kitchen to cook food for Yongji anymore, so she went to the imperial kitchen to poison him. It was so easy that anyone who wanted to poison him could do it.
Hailan was thinking about preparing some nourishing food for Yongqi.
"It would be better to have a pheasant chick. I will personally make him pheasant chick soup.
Go to the Imperial Garden and pick a plum blossom. I will make my sister's most famous fragrant soup for Yongji.
Yongqi must always remember that she is the child of Ulanara Ruyi. Her mother suffered in the Yikun Palace. He cannot forget his sister's suffering. "
Hai Lan thought that today was a memorable day and a good day to welcome Ruyi out.
Hailan was happy, and the little palace maid was also happy. She said to Hailan excitedly:
"My Lord, I really feel sorry for the Twelfth Prince.
But I know what you are thinking, and I have already sent a bowl of pheasant soup to the twelfth prince."
