Chapter 763

Nan Yan was so frightened that the venison on her chopsticks almost fell off.

She turned and looked at Aunt Tongyun.

"What's wrong?"

Ran Xiaoyu and Nian Qiu next to them were also stunned. They stopped eating the meat that was about to reach their mouths and stared blankly at Aunt Tongyun.

Nian Qiu asked, "Aunt, what happened?"

Aunt Tongyun pointed to a large bowl of unfinished milk-soup with cattail leaves on the table and said, "My Lady, did you eat this dish today?"

Nan Yan stood up and took a look.

Nian Qiu immediately said, "The Queen has eaten this."

Ran Xiaoyu hurried to Aunt Tongyun's side, took a look at the remaining half bowl of milk soup with cattail leaves, and said nervously, "Aunt, what's wrong? Is there something wrong with the food?"

Tingfu was shocked when he heard this: "Could it be that someone poisoned the queen?"

When this was mentioned, everyone's expressions became horrified.

Aunt Tongyun waved her hand, signaling them not to panic, and then said, "Your Majesty, there is nothing wrong with the dish, but after you have eaten this dish, you can no longer eat venison."

"ah?"

Nan Yan opened her eyes wide: "Why?"

Aunt Tongyun came over, took the chopsticks and plate from her hands, and said softly, "Deer meat and cattails are mutually exclusive. If ordinary people eat them, their bodies will be harmed. Your Majesty is pregnant now, so she must not eat such things."

“…”

Everyone was shocked when they heard her say that.

Although the stove in the room was still emitting heat, Nan Yan broke out in a cold sweat.

She took two steps back and sat on the couch.

Ran Xiaoyu and the others frowned, looked at the soup bowl on the table, then looked at the roasted venison. After a long silence, Ran Xiaoyu said, "It's all our fault. We were too careless."

Nan Yan looked at Aunt Tongyun. Aunt Tongyun sighed and said, "This... If it weren't for someone who has been practicing medicine for many years, it would be difficult to detect. You, you need to be more careful in the future."

Ran Xiaoyu nodded.

Tingfu, who was standing by, muttered, "What's wrong with the kitchen staff? How could they send something that is incompatible with her diet to the Empress?"

Nian Qiu immediately said, "I'll go scold them!"

Although Nan Yan frowned and was still thinking about something, when he heard her impulsively going to curse, he immediately said, "Stand still. You are not allowed to go."

Nian Qiu stopped and looked back at her: "My Lady..."

Aunt Tongyun stepped forward and grabbed her, saying, "Don't cause trouble. This bowl of milk soup with cattails was delivered before the venison; and the venison was a gift from the Emperor."

“…”

"What does this have to do with them?"

"oh."

"Are you blaming the Emperor?"

"oh……"

Nian Qiu was deflated, grumbled a little helplessly, and said softly: "But, the queen almost got hurt, this is too dangerous."

“…”

At this time, Nan Yan, who was sitting quietly at the side, said, "That's right, it might not be unrelated."

When everyone heard this, they all turned around and asked, "Mother?"

Nan Yan said, "Auntie is right. The milk soup with cattail leaves should be delivered before the venison. But the person who delivers the venison can ask in advance what I want to eat today."

Ran Xiaoyu immediately understood and said, "The food that the Queen eats is written on the water sign, and the people in the kitchen must prepare the ingredients in advance. As long as you are willing to check, you can find out. After all, this is not a big secret."

Nan Yan nodded.

Nian Qiu also understood and said, "Besides, the Emperor has always loved the Empress the most. Whatever he gets, he will definitely give it to the Empress."

“…”

"So, as long as a fresh deer is sent to the palace, Her Majesty will definitely eat venison!"

Nan Yan took a deep breath and said, "So, if someone knew that my menu today was cattail soup with milk, and then prepared this deer and sent it over, this matter would be accomplished silently."

At this point, everyone broke out in a cold sweat.

Ran Xiaoyu looked at the venison again and couldn't help but grit her teeth.

I didn't expect that someone would think of such a way to harm the imperial concubine. It's really hard to guard against.

Nan Yan said, "Listen to Fu."

Tingfu immediately stepped forward: "The servant is here."

"Go down and find out who sent this deer to Prince Yan's mansion."

"yes."

Tingfu immediately ran out quickly.

Aunt Tongyun frowned, looked at Nanyan who was sitting on the couch, walked over and said softly: "My Lady, this——"

Nan Yan looked up at her, then smiled and said, "This time, it's all thanks to my aunt."

“…”

"Otherwise, my greed will bring me great trouble."

"Don't say that, my lady."

Nan Yan looked at the roasted venison that still exuded fragrance, then said with a smile, "Alright, everyone, let's sit down and eat. It's such a good thing, so don't waste it. Besides, I heard that eating venison in winter is very nourishing. I've eaten cattails today, so I can't eat anymore."

"Your Majesty..."

"Eat it."

Everyone sat back down by the fire.

However, this time, the mood was very different from the previous expectations. When people thought that this piece of venison was sent by someone with ulterior motives, no one had the appetite to eat it no matter how delicious it was.

Ran Xiaoyu frowned and thought for a while, then said softly: "My Lady, could this be done by - that person?"

Nan Yan's eyes flickered.

"Tell me, Concubine Kang?"

"She has always had a grudge against the Empress, so it's impossible for her not to use any means. Besides, we have been living in Prince Yan's Mansion for several months, and nothing happened in the first few months. As soon as she arrived, something like this happened."

“…”

"If not her, then who?"

Nan Yan didn't say anything.

Nian Qiu thought for a moment and said, "What about Concubine Ning? She has always been very mean to the Empress."

“…”

Nan Yan still didn't speak.

Aunt Tongyun said, "Don't speculate yet. Wait until Tingfu gets the news and comes back."

So everyone sat quietly.

At this moment, Nan Yan's heart was like a tangled mess, and her mind was in a complete mess.

She was not afraid of any other harm. Before in the palace, Wu Wan, Gao Yurong, and even Xia Yunting had tried to harm her more than once, but she still managed to survive, didn't she?

Qin Ruolan... maybe, she is special to Zhu Feng.

But I'm not afraid of her.

But now, it’s not just my own safety that’s at stake, but also the safety of the baby in my belly.

This is so terrible.

Just like today, if Aunt Tongyun had come a step later, maybe I would have really fallen into the trap!

Thinking of this, she suddenly shuddered.

Is it Concubine Ning or Concubine Kang?

At this time, Tingfu ran back from outside.

Ran Xiaoyu hurriedly stood up and asked anxiously, "Did you find out? Who is it?"
