Chapter 28 Why is it Brother Ba again?

Helian Yue's heart tensed slightly, and his face straightened almost instantly. He asked, "Where is the palace maid who delivered the meal just now?"

Si Linglong's attention was diverted by his voice, and she forgot that she had gone astray just now.

When Helian Yue returned to the inner hall and sat down, the palace servant who served the meal had already brought up the meal that Si Linglong had just touched. Since it was prepared for Helian Yue who was poisoned and unconscious, there was a bowl of lotus seed soup in the food box.

"I was ordered to serve food just now. When I passed the palace corridor, Lang Guiren suddenly stopped me and opened the food box in my hand. I didn't have time to speak out to stop him. I beg Your Majesty to forgive me."

Si Linglong stood aside and listened to the palace maid's description and couldn't help swallowing.

[Listening to this third-party description, I feel like, maybe, I am a little suspicious...]

Helian Yue glanced at Si Linglong and asked, "Mr. Lang, what do you say?"

Si Linglong bowed to Helian Yue obediently, but her tone was clear, "Your Majesty, I am a rude concubine. I just smelled the scent of lotus seeds in this little palace maid's food box when I passed by her just now."

Bai Qianqian couldn't help but interrupt him, "Mr. Lang, do you mean that you are hungry because you smelled the lotus seeds?"

Si Linglong was interrupted by her and couldn't help but give her a blank look.

"Don't worry, sister. Even if I'm hungry, I won't just eat roast chicken anymore."

This refers to the fact that she had taken the trouble to help her in the cold palace, but she turned the tables on her.

Bai Qianqian was choked by her unexpectedly and looked embarrassed, but she couldn't lose her temper in front of the emperor.

She had finally gotten out of the cold palace, and now the emperor obviously still didn't like her. She didn't want to remind the emperor that she was in the cold palace again.

Shut up immediately.

Si Linglong was satisfied when she saw her shut up, and said to Helian Yue seriously, "Your Majesty is not well yet, so it's fine for him to eat lotus seed soup, but I saw the prescription written by Doctor Li Yu the other day, and there is a golden yingzi in his prescription, which is exactly the herb that cannot be eaten with lotus seeds, so I wanted to confirm it."

As soon as Si Linglong said this, the palace maid in charge of serving meals changed color and hurriedly explained, "Your Majesty is wronged. The meals in the Yu Kitchen have all been confirmed by Doctor Yu, and Doctor Yu has never said that lotus seed soup will conflict with the properties of Your Majesty's medicine. Otherwise, I would never dare to serve the meal!"

Helian Yue frowned slightly as he listened to Si Linglong's explanation, because he could clearly hear Si Linglong's heartbeat, so he was sure that Si Linglong was not lying.

But if what she said was true, then there was something wrong with Dr. Li Yu.

Fu Tai was also shocked when he heard this. Doctor Li Yu had been following the emperor from the palace, so there was no way there could be any problem with him!

Bai Qianqian also wanted to hold back, but she really couldn't.

I just wanted to refute her.

"Let's not talk about how you dared to look at the emperor's prescription privately. If the golden yingzi really can't be eaten with lotus seeds, how could Doctor Yu not know this? It's clearly an excuse."

Si Linglong was not annoyed when she heard this. She just glanced at her and said, "Why don't you try it, Lady Lian? First, put a piece of golden yingzi in your mouth, then drink this bowl of lotus seed porridge, and see if what my sister said is true?"

Si Linglong's attitude was so nonchalant that Bai Qianqian didn't dare to try.

Seeing Bai Qianqian shut up again, Si Linglong turned to Helian Yue and said, "Your Majesty, these two things are mutually exclusive. I think Doctor Li Yu probably doesn't know this. Jin Yingzi is precious and rarely used as medicine. Ordinary people have never even heard of it, let alone eating it with lotus seeds by chance. It's normal that it's not recorded in the book."

[If I hadn’t gotten these two things when Brother Ba was sick, something bad would have happened. I wouldn’t have known that these two things were incompatible.]

Helian Yue was about to ask her how she knew that, but when he suddenly heard her heartbeat, his face darkened and he instantly forgot the point.

Why is it this "Brother Ba" again? !

This was the second time he had heard of this man from her!

How abominable that he is still thinking about another man in front of his concubine!
