After Transmigrating, I Conquer the Harem with Gourmet Food

As a Michelin three-star chef, Gu Yan Yue transmigrated.

She transmigrated into the empress, but the emperor was a puppet emperor.

To survive, Gu Yan Yue returned to her old profession ...

Chapter 239 Thorough Investigation

This is true. After all, if it really wasn't done by those palace maids, some jealous people would hold a grudge against Gu Yanyue, and might really poison her or do something else to murder her in the future.

After receiving Gu Yanyue's order, Zheng Hai retreated and went to the large courtyard in the front yard with several guards.

Only the head guard was left standing there, waiting for Gu Yanyue's orders.

He waited for a long time, and just when he thought Gu Yanyue was about to speak after knowing that Yu Wenran was safe, he heard Gu Yanyue suddenly say, "Take people to investigate first, how did the poison get into this courtyard? Before we find out, tell them not to eat anything, so as not to accidentally eat food mixed with the poison and get poisoned."

"Sister Gu, let me take people to investigate this matter."

Just as Gu Yanyue finished speaking, Qin Ruoruo walked out of the room. She walked up to her and said, "Fortunately, the poison His Majesty took this time wasn't as severe as the one in the Western Regions. It's just that His Majesty took a larger amount of poison than we did, so one detoxification pill won't be very effective. Sister Gu, you don't have to worry anymore. His Majesty has been cured of the poison. As long as he wakes up, there won't be any major problems."

Gu Yanyue breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that Yu Wenran was fine now and that there would be no serious problems as long as he woke up and took care of himself.

She took Qin Ruoruo's hand and said, "Ruoruo, I need to take care of Ah Ran, so I'll trouble you to find out the truth about the poisoning."

Qin Ruoruo nodded and held Gu Yanyue's hand in return. "It's okay, Sister Gu, this is what I should do. Besides, not everyone of them knows medicine, so it will be difficult to find out where the poison came from. If I'm here, it will definitely be twice as easy."

After saying this, Qin Ruoruo was about to lead the head guard and He Fangyan out of the courtyard. Before she had taken a few steps, Qin Ruoruo turned back and instructed Gu Yanyue, "Sister Gu, your injury has just started to improve. You must remember not to overwork yourself and make sure to rest. Ask the palace maids to do anything. If you don't trust the palace maids, ask them to call me and I will help you. Don't let His Majesty just wake up and you collapse again because of a relapse of your old injury."

Qin Ruoruo was not cursing Gu Yanyue. It was just that Gu Yanyue had just woken up for a few days. If she was overworked and the wound opened again, then all the care she had given her for the past few days would have been in vain.

Gu Yanyue replied: "Well, don't worry, Ruoruo, I will definitely take good care of my health."

Seeing that Gu Yanyue promised to take good care of herself, Qin Ruoruo walked out of the yard with the head guard and He Fangyan.

Gu Yanyue also turned and entered the room. As soon as she entered, she saw Yu Wenran, who had just been fighting with Qin Ruoruo for wontons, now lying quietly on the bed.

If she hadn't insisted on cooking for them today, none of this would have happened, and Yuwen Ran wouldn't have been poisoned and collapsed like last time in the Western Regions.

However, this time it was consistent with what Qin Ruoruo said. The poison that Yu Wenran was poisoned with was not too serious compared to the time in the Western Regions. As long as the poison was completely removed, he would almost wake up.

Gu Yanyue had just sat down beside the bed when she saw Yu Wenran open his eyes and wake up.

When Yu Wenran raised his eyes, he saw Gu Yanyue above him. After looking at the familiar buildings around him, he realized that he had returned to the room from the flower hall.

Thinking of what happened just before he fainted, Yu Wenran still felt a little panicked. If it weren't for Gu Yanyue's wound that had not healed completely, if she had also eaten those wontons, it might not be him lying here now.

"What did Miss Qin say?" Yu Wenran seemed to be in good spirits. He pushed himself up from the bed and leaned against the headboard. He took the initiative to ask Gu Yanyue about her condition. He even had the mood to joke with her, "The poison shouldn't be too deep, right? Otherwise, I would have fainted for days like I did in the Western Regions. When I finally woke up, I saw your anxious expression, and it really distressed me."

"She said..." The moment Gu Yanyue opened her mouth, tears began to flow. She wanted to turn away, calm down, and then tell Yu Wenran about the current situation.

But Yuwen Ran didn't even give her a chance to turn around. He lifted her face and carefully wiped the tears from her face. He whispered, "Ayue, why are you crying suddenly? Did something happen while I was unconscious?"

"No..." Gu Yanyue took a deep breath and held back the tears that had not yet flowed. "I was just a little excited when I saw you wake up, so I shed tears."

Gu Yanyue had originally wanted to hide her true thoughts from Yu Wenran, but unexpectedly, Yu Wenran saw through her thoughts immediately: "Are you blaming yourself? Blaming yourself for making that bowl of wontons for me, Miss Qin, and Master He, and for causing us to be poisoned after eating it?"

Seeing that Gu Yanyue kept her head down and didn't say anything, Yu Wenran became even more certain that Gu Yanyue blamed herself for this reason.

He pulled Gu Yanyue into his arms and laid on her, patting her back intermittently. He lowered his voice and said, "Ayue, this isn't your fault. Even if you hadn't done anything, someone would have touched the poisoned ingredients. The poisoning was just a matter of a few hours earlier or later. Now, because of you, we've discovered that this villa was poisoned, and we've prevented more palace maids and guards from being poisoned by accidentally eating the poisoned food like us."

"But……"

Gu Yanyue wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by Yu Wenran as soon as she opened her mouth. "Don't say buts yet. The most important thing now is not who is right or wrong, but to find out who poisoned this villa as soon as possible."

"I have asked Ruoruo to take people to investigate the source of the poison. I also asked Eunuch Zheng to gather together those who entered and exited the kitchen and went out to buy things this morning. I also sent a few guards to ask the palace maids whether they had anything to do with this matter." Gu Yanyue told Yuwen Ran everything she had asked people to investigate during the time when Yuwen Ran was unconscious, and asked Yuwen Ran to think about whether she had missed any place she asked them to investigate.

Yu Wenran also hadn't thought of anything that Gu Yanyue had missed and hadn't asked anyone to check. Now he was just waiting for Qin Ruoruo and Zheng Hai to come back and report on their respective responsibilities.
