Chapter 764 Tonight, I want to treat you
Ran Xiaoyu hurriedly stood up and asked anxiously, "Did you find out? Who is it?"
Tingfu walked in and said with a complicated expression: "No."
"No?"
Ran Xiaoyu frowned immediately.
Nan Yan also stood up from the couch: "Did you not find out anything, or is there nothing?"
Tingfu took a deep breath and said, "I went down to inquire and found out that the deer was not delivered by anyone, but was bought by the kitchen staff by chance today."
“…”
"Because winter is coming, I wanted to give everyone some nourishment. I happened to come across a fresh deer, so I bought a whole one."
“…”
"After buying it, because the Empress's diet was arranged in advance, it was originally not delivered. But when the Emperor saw the fresh venison and thought of the Empress, he specially sent some to the Empress through Zhu Feng."
When everyone heard this, they all fell silent.
Aunt Tongyun breathed a sigh of relief and said, "If that's the case, then it's not bad."
Nan Yan thought for a while and said softly, "Well, it's okay."
If it was just something he bought accidentally while shopping in the kitchen, then what happened today was just a coincidence. Although it was a bit dangerous, it was still better than someone secretly trying to harm him.
Nian Qiu also said: "If that's the case, then there's no need to worry too much."
Ran Xiaoyu immediately said, "It's not that we can't completely stop worrying. If my aunt hadn't arrived in time today, we wouldn't have known about it and would have just watched the queen eat it."
“…”
"If anything happens to the queen, it will be our fault."
Everyone nodded.
I couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
Everyone knows that the Emperor dotes on the Imperial Concubine. If the Imperial Concubine is assassinated right under their noses, the Emperor will definitely exterminate all nine generations of their clan!
Aunt Tongyun said, "From now on, everyone should be more careful."
Nian Qiu thought for a moment and immediately said, "How about this, Your Majesty, let me taste whatever you want to eat from now on."
Nan Yan immediately said, "No."
These people were all close to her, and she was unwilling to use them as tools to test poison.
Aunt Tongyun also said: "This is not appropriate. There are some things that pregnant women have taboos on, but ordinary people may not have the same."
"ah?"
“Sometimes, even if you can eat a pound of food, your Majesty may not be able to eat a single bite.”
Nian Qiu muttered, "I can eat a pound of anything."
Everyone couldn't help laughing.
Aunt Tongyun turned to Nanyan and said, "From now on, no matter what your Majesty eats, please let this servant check it first. After all, my family is a doctor, so I know a little about pharmacology."
Nan Yan said, "Well, thank you for your hard work these days, aunt."
"That's not hard work."
Now that it was settled, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Nan Yan still asked them to sit down and roast the venison and eat it. Since she herself couldn't eat it, she naturally sat aside and watched.
However, her mind did not stop.
Just as everyone was happily enjoying the barbecue, Nan Yan suddenly said, "Tingfu, when you went to the kitchen just now, did you ask the shopkeeper if there's venison sold on the street every day?"
When Tingfu heard this, he immediately said, "This servant also asked, and the purchaser said that it is not available every day."
"oh?"
"He seems to see it once in a while."
“…”
"But he didn't buy it before because the weather was still warm. But recently, the weather has turned cold, and the deer today was really fresh, so he bought it."
Nan Yan listened and nodded slightly.
After listening to Fu, he lowered his head again and started eating with big mouthfuls.
Nan Yan slowly got off the bed and walked out the door. Under the eaves, she saw the sky outside, which was faintly gray.
The wind is very cold.
Her fur coat was thick, but she was not afraid of the cold wind. She just wrapped her clothes a little tighter.
After eating for a while, Ran Xiaoyu found that Nan Yan was not in the room, so she walked out and went to Nan Yan's side.
"My Lady, what's wrong?"
Nan Yan shook her head: "Nothing."
But the slightly solemn expression on her face clearly indicated otherwise. Ran Xiaoyu asked, "Are you still worried, Madam, that this wasn't a coincidence, but someone did it on purpose?"
"Um."
"Why?"
Nan Yan said, "The mastermind behind this knows my dietary habits, so he can pretty much predict when a dish will appear on my table. He simply prepares it in advance and sells fresh venison at the market on that day."
“…”
"That's why you don't see venison every day when you go shopping, but only once in a while."
“…”
"This person is very patient. If one time doesn't work, try again. If two times don't work, try again three times."
“…”
"Also, with the cold weather lately, it's very common for wealthy families to eat venison for warming in the winter."
“…”
"As long as the kitchen's buyer buys his venison once, his plan will be successful."
Nan Yan took a deep breath and said, "This person might be someone in the mansion, or perhaps he has connections with someone in the mansion, so he can find out some things. Moreover, he is very careful in his considerations and patient in his actions, without being impatient or anxious at all."
“…”
"This time, if Aunt Tongyun hadn't seen it, it would have almost been an accident."
Hearing this, Ran Xiaoyu took a breath.
Indeed, if someone really is doing this, then that person is horrible.
He used his "deliberateness" time and time again to create an "accident."
Even if something really happened, from the servants, to the cooks in the kitchen, to the purchasers, and even - His Majesty the Emperor himself, everyone did what they were supposed to do.
Ran Xiaoyu couldn't help but say: "This is simply unimaginable."
Nan Yan also nodded.
If it was really just an accident, then that's it.
But if, as she guessed, someone did it on purpose, then that person is really terrifying.
Ran Xiaoyu lowered her voice and asked, "Then, who is it?"
“…”
"Is it Concubine Kang? Or Concubine Ning?"
Nan Yan shook her head: "This person's mind is very secretive, there are no flaws at all, I can't judge it."
"But, we can't just sit there and wait for death. What if she attacks the Empress again next time?"
“…”
"My Lady, no matter what, you must find a way to find this person!"
Nan Yan frowned and thought for a moment, then said, "Xiao Yu, go in and see how much of the venison is left."
"What?"
Ran Xiaoyu was stunned for a moment. For some reason, she suddenly became concerned about the venison again.
Nan Yan said, "Tell everyone, just eat two more pieces, and leave the rest."
“…”
"Tonight, I'm treating you."
