Chapter 20 Safe and Sound



There is no way they will be allowed to succeed in this matter!

You must want to embarrass me, Qian Ruoyu, but you are still a little naive!

Although the women in the palace are quite scheming, when it comes to intelligence, she is no less intelligent than others.

At this moment, everyone's fiery gazes fell on Qian Ruoyu, as if they were all expecting Qian Ruoyu to eat the crispy egg.

In particular, Concubine An had a sinister smile on her lips, and the Empress's eyes flashed with a sneer.

Concubine An An Hewan spoke.

"What's wrong? Princess Ye, is it that the snacks don't suit your taste? Those are gifts given to you by the Queen herself, don't you want to taste them?"

The Queen Mother raised her eyebrows in a very cooperative manner.

Qian Ruoyu smiled.

Then directly put the two egg crisps on the plate into two plates.

She placed one of the plates in front of Concubine An.

Concubine An was stunned. "What are you doing?"

Qian Ruoyu said with a faint smile.

"You are too polite, Concubine An. You were busy just now. Now the Queen has specially gifted me with egg yolk pastry. I will give you half, and we can enjoy it together."

Qian Ruoyu's words and deeds were all obscure allusions to her.

This made Concubine An Hewan feel even more uneasy.

"Uh, this..." An Hewan was suddenly speechless.

Because she never thought that Qian Ruoyu would actually cut the egg yolk pastry on the plate into two.

This egg yolk pastry is added with special "seasoning" that she made herself.

Concubine An An Hewan was at a loss for words. She looked panicked and kept twisting the embroidered handkerchief in her hands as she looked at the Empress who was sitting beside her.

But Queen Ning Yunwan seemed to ignore it, glanced away and ignored An Hewan completely.

An Hewan suddenly became anxious. There was a laxative in the food, how could she swallow it? Wouldn't she make a fool of herself in public?

Qian Ruoyu also spoke in a friendly and enthusiastic manner.

"Empress An, what's wrong? This is a reward from the Empress herself. I'm giving you a portion now, which is a gift from the Empress. Are you going to go against the Empress's wishes?"

Concubine An, An Hewan, quickly shook her head and smiled awkwardly.

"No, no, no, I... this... this is a gift from the Queen herself, how could I have such a blessing... Besides... Besides..."

“I, I, I…”

An Hewan looked around, her expression dazed and she seemed extremely panicked.

Qian Ruoyu still firmly placed the plate in front of An Hewan and reminded her kindly.

"Oh, don't refuse!"

"Since it is a reward from the Queen, you have been busy running around and have worked the hardest, so naturally I have to give you a share, so that people won't say that I, the Princess Ye, am not kind. I'll eat it first."

After saying that, Qian Ruoyu took a bite of the crispy egg in front of everyone.

After eating, Qian Ruoyu elegantly wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief to wipe away the debris from the corners of her mouth. Her movements looked extremely gentle.

And in Qian Ruoyu's heart, she couldn't help but be amazed by this egg yolk pastry!

It is indeed worthy of being a pastry from the imperial palace. It is crispy and crunchy when you bite it. The moment the egg yolk pastry hits your teeth, the taste of egg yolk rushes into your mouth.

But after taking a whole bite of the egg yolk pastry, the fragrance is so fragrant and the whole mouth feels extremely sweet, it is worthy of being a pastry from the imperial palace.

After taking a bite, Qian Ruoyu turned his gaze to Concubine An, An Hewan.

"I've finished eating, Your Majesty. What's wrong? Don't you like the egg yolk pastry? This is a reward from the Queen..."

Queen Ning Yun'an watched Qian Ruoyu eat the cake with her own eyes, and fearing that the truth would be exposed, she spoke to An Hewan beside her.

"Madam An, what's wrong? This is my reward to Princess Ye. Since Princess Ye is so kind, you should not refuse it and try this cake."

An Hewan swallowed her saliva, feeling a little scared.

But the Queen had already spoken, so she had no choice but to pick up the egg yolk pastry on the plate, twitched her eyelids slightly, and opened her mouth mechanically.

At this time, An Hewan even saw Qian Ruoyu's smile.

That smile seemed like a kind of success...

But in desperation, An Hewan could only take a bite of the egg yolk pastry.

I kept praying in my heart, hoping that I would not take the side with more laxative ingredients.

After eating, An Hewan even forgot to wipe the crumbs from the corners of her mouth and looked like an idiot.

Queen Ning Yunwan spoke.

"Okay, no need to be polite, let's eat."

"These are the cakes specially prepared by the imperial kitchen. Everyone is tired of chatting."

At the command of Queen Ning Yun'an, everyone started to move the bowls and plates in their hands.

But their movements were still gentle, and none of them made any loud noise.

However, Qian Ruoyu had already taken advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, reached his hand into his sleeve, and with a sudden thought, he went into his laboratory and took out a super-fast antidiarrheal drug.

Qian Ruoyu mixed the pastries in his hand and swallowed the anti-diarrhea medicine.

The effect of the medicine quickly took effect in the stomach. Qian Ruoyu only felt warmth in his stomach, which was obviously the effect of the medicine.

But Concubine An, An Hewan, who was on the other side of the table, was in a miserable situation at this time.

An Hewan's face was pale and her eyelids twitched twice.

Although the movements were subtle, Qian Ruoyu captured everything.

However, Queen Ning Yunwan's attention was all on Qian Ruoyu, as if she was waiting for Qian Ruoyu to embarrass herself.

But Qian Ruoyu was fine throughout the whole process, and she continued to eat elegant pastries without any mistakes.

Queen Ning Yun'an frowned slightly. She called Qian Ruoyu for a long time but didn't see anything wrong with her.

Her face darkened and she questioned without even turning her head.

"What's going on? Didn't you give me the drug?"

Ning Yunwan didn't notice at all that An Hewan beside him was turning pale and blue in the face.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty... I... Your Majesty..."

Hearing this, Queen Ning Yunwan turned her head and suddenly found that An Hewan's face was extremely pale!

"What's wrong with you?"

The Queen exclaimed, and everyone looked.

Qian Ruoyu was the first to express her “concern”.

"Madam An, what's wrong with you?"

"Oh, why do you look so pale? Is there something wrong with your body?"

Qian Ruoyu deliberately raised her voice very loudly, and all the ladies at the table noticed what was happening with Concubine An.

"Madam An, what's wrong with you?"

"Why is he like this? Is he sick?"

The more concerned people were, the more embarrassed Concubine An felt, and she wished she could find a hole to crawl into.

The laxative took effect. Concubine An dared not leave the table without the Queen's order, otherwise it would be disrespectful!

The Queen was also a little anxious at this time. She also looked at Qian Ruoyu's situation, but found that Qian Ruoyu was safe and sound!
