"Your Majesty, please don't be angry. The kitchen has prepared many dishes. It's just that I have no appetite recently. You can't blame them."

The queen looked at the emperor's anxious expression, and her expression became slightly better.

But he spoke too recklessly. What does "my queen" mean?

How could she feel comfortable doing that in front of the emperor's uncle, sister, Bai Shu, and so many other people?

"I care too little about you. I'll have someone find some new and unusual dishes. If you feel uncomfortable, just tell me. There's no need to hide it."

The emperor's hand tentatively reached forward and gently held the queen's tender hand.

After not being rejected, the corners of his mouth could not help but rise, and his fingers could not help but clench, feeling the softness of his palms.

Others thought he was no longer an emperor, but just a young man.

The little emperor usually focused on state affairs, and the queen took good care of his daily life.

But he overlooked that the queen also needed care.

The late emperor once told him that when he sat on that throne, he would have a heavy burden on his shoulders.

This burden is the responsibility of Dongye and thousands of small families, so he is not only the king of Dongye, but also the king of the Xiao family.

He not only has responsibilities to the world, but also to the queen.

"Your Majesty, please don't worry about these things. I will arrange them."

The Queen leaned weakly in the Emperor's arms. Although she was six months older than the Emperor, she was much shorter.

It was right next to his shoulder.

"Okay, okay, I can't control the Queen. If this happens again in the future, I will punish her."

The little emperor looked innocent and nodded in Jiaruo's direction. This was a clear threat.

But the queen's heart, which had been calm, became very angry again.

Jiaruo saw that the relationship between the emperor and the empress had finally become closer, and she must not let such a small matter hurt their feelings.

So she said hastily,

"The Empress's appetite improves every day when she shares dinner with the Emperor."

Jiaruo finished speaking in one breath, then lowered her head again and knelt down obediently.

She was not wrong. The summer heat was unbearable and the queen could not eat much at noon. The small kitchen actually cooked a lot of dishes.

But the queen only used two or three dishes each time.

The emperor would go to the queen's palace for dinner every day. Perhaps because the temperature was low at night and the emperor was there, the queen could eat a lot.

As expected, as soon as Jiaruo said this, the emperor immediately became in a good mood and said,

"Then I will also have lunch here at noon from now on. You should get up first and check the food first."

The little emperor was happy, but at the same time, he felt guilty for his slight distrust.

The Queen has lied to the Queen Mother many times for him. How could he not trust her?

The Queen was helpless after hearing Jiaruo's words. She knew that Jiaruo was doing this for her own good.

But she really had no appetite, and she was not being pretentious. She just wanted the emperor to accompany her!

"It's a scorching summer day. I can write down a few prescriptions and dishes later. They should help the Empress alleviate her lack of appetite."

Bai Shu was talking, and she suddenly remembered the dishes at Tianxiang Restaurant. Every time she went there, there were always new dishes.

Even at noon under the scorching sun, she had a strong appetite. Presumably, those dishes would also whet the Queen's appetite.

"Then do as Miss Bai said and let the chef learn a few more dishes!"

The little emperor made the final decision, and the queen said nothing more, waiting quietly for Bai Shu's result.

…

There were only five bowls, and Bai Shu checked them quickly. The eldest princess came forward and wanted to see which dish was the problem.

Bai Shu was so focused that she didn't notice that Xiao Moqing had come up to her at some point.

He was standing behind her. He only needed to lower his head to see the dishes over Bai Shu who was bending over.

But he was not interested in this. His eyes were always on Bai Shu. He looked at Bai Shu's round and furry little head and couldn't help but smile.

As for Feng Tidian and others, they naturally wanted to see how Bai Shu could identify the fake pregnancy pills.

But no one said anything, so they could only continue to kneel on the ground, stretching their necks from afar, trying to catch a glimpse of the truth through the gap.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Highness, someone put a fake pregnancy drug in this stir-fried bamboo shoot."

Bai Shu picked up each bowl, put it to her nose and smelled it, and easily identified the fake pregnancy pills.

Because she knew the formula of the fake pregnancy drug, the herbs in it were still very strong in flavor,

Bai Shu found the dish with problems and raised her head to explain to everyone.

But she didn't know there was someone behind her, and she bumped into someone accidentally.

Xiao Moqing was as steady as a rock, without dodging at all, and steadily took over the person in front of him. He held Bai Shu's slender waist with his big hand without any hesitation,

The people around took a deep breath.

When did the Regent become so compassionate to women?

Not only did he let the woman get close to him, he even embraced her! Were women in the past too ordinary?

Well, it is very possible. After all, there are only a handful of women like Bai Shu who are beautiful, talented, and skilled in medicine in Dongye!

[Are you kidding me? Scaring people can be terrifying!]

After Bai Shu stood firm, she belatedly complained,

She only felt that the back of her head hit a hard wall, and then a burning sensation came from her waist.

Then came that incredibly handsome face.

She looked at Xiao Moqing for a moment, then quickly stood up, turned around and bowed her head, saying,

"This subject did not do it on purpose, please forgive me, Your Highness."

[We're already this close, you won't punish me in front of so many people, right?]

Bai Shu apologized seriously,

But what she was thinking in her heart was that she was Xiao Moqing's personal doctor, so she couldn't get angry over such a small matter, right?

No way, no way?

Xiao Moqing took back the big hand, placed it behind his back, and rubbed it lightly with his fingertips, not knowing what he was thinking about.

I was also delighted by Bai Shu's words that they had a good relationship, and then I said in a deep voice,

"It's okay. I was just standing too close. Miss Bai said someone drugged the bamboo shoots."

Xiao Moqing said seriously, Bai Shu's apology was fake anyway, so what if he was a little casual?

"Yes, there is indeed a fake pregnancy drug in the dish. Your Majesty and the Empress can ask Feng Tidian and others to check again."

Bai Shu was very confident in her medical skills, but she was worried that the emperor and the queen would not believe her, so she made this suggestion.

But Feng Tidian and others really wanted to say at this moment that they didn’t know the formula of the fake pregnancy drug at all, so how could they check it out?

At most, you can tell whether there is anything added to the food.

So they were both nervous and eager to try, worried about their medical skills but also wanted to see the fake pregnancy drug.

However, they did not worry for long, because the emperor gave the order directly.

"No need, I trust Miss Bai's judgment."

"How could there be such a poisonous drug in the Queen's food? We must investigate thoroughly!"
