An idea suddenly came to her mind, and she came up with a plan, so she headed towards the imperial kitchen.
Today is the palace banquet, and the imperial kitchen is bustling with activity. The chef inside is stirring the wok so hard that sparks are almost coming out.
Qin Yao looked at the busy scene inside, adjusted her expression, and pretended to be anxious, pulling the cook and said, "What's the food now? The imperial concubine is hungry!"
The cook was a little annoyed when he saw that it was a stranger. He was already very busy, and there was a palace maid who was not aware of the situation.
So he asked angrily, "Which palace are you from? Why haven't I seen you before?"
"I am from the Millennium Palace. The imperial concubine said she was hungry and asked me to bring her some food right now. If you are late, you will be in trouble!" She acted like she was being unreasonable.
This kind of character is in line with the impression of Concubine Yue in the Imperial Kitchen. Ever since Mingyue was promoted to Concubine Yue, she would come to mess with the Imperial Kitchen every now and then, asking for this and that...
Therefore, the chef in the imperial kitchen had no doubts about Qin Yao's request, because this was something that Concubine Yue could do.
He pointed impatiently at a vat of soup and said, "That's lotus seed soup over there. If the Imperial Concubine wants to eat something in advance, you can go get a bowl of that."
After all, there is no cook in the imperial kitchen to cook for her anymore.
Qin Yao took a look at the lotus seed soup that the chef pointed to, then took a small bowl from the side, filled it with soup and left.
She was halfway there when she found a secluded place and took out the small black porcelain bottle given to her by King Jin from her waist.
Carefully pour out one and throw it into the lotus seed soup.
It was clearly a pill, but as soon as it came into contact with the soup, it slowly melted. She stirred it with a spoon, and the pill disappeared without a trace. She sniffed it, but didn't smell any strange smell.
She put away the porcelain bottle, took the lotus seed soup in her hand, and went to the Millennium Palace.
After arriving at the Millennium Palace, she told the palace servant at the door that she was sent by His Majesty to deliver food to the Imperial Concubine.
Therefore, he was invited into the Millennium Palace.
As soon as Qin Yao entered, she felt that the place was magnificent and golden, with precious rewards everywhere.
She was so jealous that she was about to break, but she tried hard not to let it show on her face.
"Did His Majesty ask you to bring it to me?" Mingyue asked, looking at the lotus seed soup in Qin Yao's hand.
"Yes, your Majesty. There is a palace banquet today. His Majesty was afraid that you were hungry, so he asked me to bring some to you to fill your stomach in advance." Qin Yao bowed and replied.
The palace maid beside Mingyue took it and, according to procedure, she first tested it with a silver needle and then took a sip.
Qin Yao's heart almost jumped into her throat at this moment, for fear that she would be exposed.
But she didn't know how the medicine Prince Jin gave her worked. Not only did the silver needle not turn black, but the palace maid was also fine after drinking it. Only then did she feel relieved.
The maid handed the lotus seed soup to Concubine Yue. She scooped up a spoonful and just as it was about to reach her mouth, she put the spoon down and looked up at Qin Yao and asked, "I always feel that you look familiar. Have we met somewhere before?"
Although Qin Yao's heart was beating like a drum at this moment, she still pretended to be calm and said, "I am ordinary-looking. I may look like many people. I am not worthy of your concern."
After hearing her answer, Mingyue raised her eyebrows and said with a pout, "That's true."
Even though Qin Yao was so angry after hearing her words that she wanted to kill her immediately, she suppressed the murderous intent in her heart when she heard the reminder from Prince Jin. "If your Majesty has nothing else to say, then I will withdraw first."
"Step back." Mingyue waved her hand.
Before leaving, Qin Yao saw Mingyue take a sip of the lotus seed soup.
A strange smile appeared on her face. She wanted to see how long this Concubine Yue could continue to be so arrogant...
When she returned to the rockery where she had just knocked the maid unconscious, she found that the little maid had woken up and was struggling to move out.
She walked over expressionlessly and stabbed him with a knife.
The little palace maid fainted again...
She changed her clothes back.
Then he headed towards the palace banquet.
All court officials above the fourth rank are present at today's palace banquet.
Ji Chenjing was standing in the main hall of the banquet.
Qin Yao came to Ji Chenjing's side and knelt down to salute.
"Is it done?" Ji Chenjing asked in a low voice.
"yes."
Ji Chenjing nodded in appreciation. He was originally afraid that Qin Yao would be impulsive and affect his plans.
"Just wait a moment, the show is about to begin." Ji Chenjing said.
Qin Yao didn't know his specific plan either. Since he said so, she would just wait and see. If the medicine was really as effective as Ji Chenjing said, then it should be taking effect soon...
Ji Chenan went to the Millennium Palace first, preparing to pick up Concubine Yue to go to the palace banquet together.
As soon as he entered the door, Mingyue came to greet him.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the lotus seed soup you just sent me."
Ji Chenan was stunned. What lotus seed soup?
Then he realized that someone had sent food to Concubine Duan in his name.
He didn't point it out directly, but asked, "Have you eaten?"
"It's a bit sweet, I used half a bowl."
"Okay." There was no emotion in Ji Chenan's eyes.
Since someone chose to send her food at this critical moment, there must be something fishy going on.
He sneered in his heart. As soon as the target was erected, someone came to hit it impatiently.
He asked gently, "Are you ready?"
This was the first time Ji Chenan spoke to her so gently. Mingyue replied shyly, "I'm ready, Your Majesty."
