"Your Majesty, please do not worry. The Empress's condition is likely due to the perilla." Marquis Jing'an knew that many people would put perilla in their wonton fillings.
Wan Ge entered the palace too hastily; presumably, her preferences haven't been reported yet, and the imperial chefs are unaware that she is allergic to perilla.
Wan Ge... probably doesn't even know she ate perilla.
When it was first discovered that Wan Ge was allergic to perilla, she was only two years old. At that time, the Marquis of Jing'an was really frightened. After learning the reason, perilla was never seen in the Marquis of Jing'an's mansion again.
As for when Wan Ge goes out to eat, her maid will remind her not to eat perilla leaves, so she will say so when ordering food.
Wan Ge probably forgot what perilla tastes like long ago, and probably didn't even recognize it.
…
When Ye Zhao arrived at Wan Ge's palace, the imperial physician had already completed the diagnosis; it was indeed an allergy to perilla.
Wan Ge also developed a rash on her face, so she put on a veil.
"Your Majesty, you've arrived." Wan Ge spoke softly, then noticed the Marquis of Jing'an standing behind him.
"Father, what brings you here too!" Upon seeing her father, Wan Ge tried to get up.
Ye Zhao stepped forward and hugged the person in his arms: "Don't move around. Is there anything else that's bothering you?"
"I'm fine, Your Majesty, don't worry."
Ye Zhao looked down and saw the rashes and scratches on her body. They must be very itchy and uncomfortable. Thinking of this, Ye Zhao couldn't help but clench his fists.
"Guards, drag out the imperial chef in charge of the Empress's breakfast and execute him."
"No!" Wan Ge immediately grabbed Ye Zhao's sleeve and shook her head at him: "The imperial chefs didn't know I'm allergic to perilla, so it's not their fault. Your Majesty, please don't."
Wan Ge was very nervous. She didn't want anyone to die because of her, but she was also afraid that Ye Zhao would get even angrier and might take his anger out on others.
Ye Zhao saw through her little scheme at a glance, and saw through her cautious demeanor. His little Ge'er was afraid; she was afraid of him!
Ye Zhao took a deep breath: "Alright, I'll listen to you. I won't kill them."
After saying that, he hugged her tightly again, lowered his head and whispered in Wange's ear, "It's my fault, I failed to protect you."
"No, His Majesty treats me very well," Wan Ge quickly shook her head.
She had been in the palace for less than two days when Ye Zhao presented her with all the best things in the palace.
Although Wan Ge didn't know the exact reason, Ye Zhao hadn't treated her badly so far. He provided her with the best of everything.
Marquis Jing'an stood aside silently, observing the emperor's attitude, feeling puzzled. When had he ever seen Ye Zhao like this?
He even began to suspect that His Majesty might have taken a liking to his daughter, otherwise why would he feel like he barely recognized His Majesty?
However, it seems to be a good thing for now. As for other things, we'll have to wait and see.
Marquis Jing'an ultimately did not get the chance to speak with the Empress alone, and left the palace when it was almost time.
…
After Wan Ge fell asleep, Ye Zhao also walked out of the palace and looked at the palace servants kneeling on the ground. He spoke in a cold tone: "Why haven't the Empress's preferences been reported yet? It has caused the Empress to suffer this punishment."
The head maid quickly kowtowed: "Your Majesty's attack was hasty, and His Majesty also ordered the palace servants to prepare for the wedding. I guess the palace servants were too busy and neglected it. Your Majesty, please forgive us."
Ye Zhao remained silent for a long time before finally glancing at the person in the photo and saying, "Give everyone involved twenty strokes of the cane and halve their salary."
