Chapter 351 The Queen is Here
Seeing Xu Miaomiao was hesitant and didn't know what to say, Song Zhijin immediately called Xiao Si beside her and said, "Princess Jiahe, what did you eat today? Did you eat something that made you sick?"
Xiao Si was also hesitant, not daring to speak out: "Madam Song, the princess ate a lot today, and she didn't eat anything else. What happened today is really strange. Madam Song, please take a closer look."
"Madam Xu, please take a look at Jiahe, what's wrong with him?"
Xu Miaomiao then stood up and took the woman's pulse. The next moment, Xu Miaomiao's eyes darkened and he remained silent.
Song Zhijin was very anxious: "What happened? How could it be like this suddenly? The banquet is about to start, and as the protagonist, she can't be absent. What should we do now? Even the Queen is coming. If she knows that Jiahe is sick, I'm afraid she will blame us. What should we do?"
Xu Miaomiao looked at Song Zhijin and said, "Princess Jiahe must be allergic to something, which is why she is like this."
"Allergic? But Xiao Si just said that Jia He must eat something else today. Why did this happen suddenly?"
"As soon as I came in, I smelled the scent of osmanthus in this room. I don't know if Princess Jiahe is allergic to this thing."
Upon hearing this, Song Zhijinting nodded immediately and said, "You are right. I suddenly remembered that this incident really happened. When I was a child, Jiahe and I went to the osmanthus forest together. After she came back, she had a rash all over her body. I was so scared that I hurriedly called the imperial physician in the palace to treat her. It took several days for her to recover. But now the queen is coming soon. If she knows that Jiahe is sick today, how can we explain it? I am afraid that we will all be implicated by then."
Xu Miaomiao was silent for a moment when she heard this. Song Zhijin pinched the handkerchief in her hand and said, "Besides, Jiahe didn't touch the osmanthus flowers today. Where did this osmanthus flowers come from?"
Xu Miaomiao remained silent, picked up the fragments of the jade ruyi beside her, put them to her nose and smelled them gently. It was obvious that the jade ruyi was coated with a thick layer of osmanthus juice.
Xu Miaomiao glanced at Song Zhijin calmly. Song Zhijin did not notice her action. Apart from her, the only one who could take over the Jade Ruyi was Song Zhijin. Song Zhijin took great pains to set up such a big trap. I really couldn't understand what this woman meant.
There was a loud shout outside the door that the Queen had arrived, and then all the servants outside the room knelt down. Then a woman was seen walking slowly towards the hall with staggering steps, the hairpin on her head not shaking at all.
The woman raised her hand, and the people around her immediately stood up and surrounded the woman in the main seat. As soon as she sat down, she raised her fingertips and said coldly, "Where's Jiahe?"
The maidservant at the side hesitated and dared not step forward. When Song Zhijin and Xu Miaomiao heard this, they immediately stepped forward, bowed to the woman, and said, "Your Majesty, Jiahe..."
Just as she was about to tell the Queen that Princess Jiahe was allergic, Xu Miaomiao stepped forward, took her hand, bowed to the Queen, and said, "Go back to your house, Princess Jiahe is changing clothes and will be here soon."
Hearing this, the Queen's frown relaxed a little, and she turned to look at Xu Miaomiao on the ground, raised her eyebrows curiously, looked at her and said, "I remember you, your name is Xu Miaomiao, you cured the fifth prince's illness, and I rewarded you."
Xu Miaomiao immediately lowered her head, saluted to the person in front of her, and said, "Your Majesty really has a good memory. I am just a commoner girl. Thank you for your concern."
"I wonder if Madam Xu still remembers what I said to her at that time." The Queen on the high platform looked at the woman slowly, word by word, and spoke.
When Xu Miaomiao heard this, she was stunned and vaguely recalled that she had indeed advised her at that time that as a woman, she should not be too aggressive. She had also said it to her openly and secretly. It was obvious that she wanted her to dissolve the department store. However, she really did not want to see the foundation that she had worked so hard to build destroyed. Therefore, she did not take her words to heart. She had expected that in the future, he would only run her shop, and they would not meet again. But unexpectedly, they met again today. If the woman knew that she did not follow her words, she would probably punish her again.
For a moment, Xu Miaomiao didn't know how to answer.
Jiang Wenyu, who was standing aside, looked at the Queen and said, "Your Majesty, although Madam Xu is confused, what does she know? If you have anything to say in the future, please tell me more."
"You have a naughty personality." The Queen waved at Jiang Wenyu, and the two joked with each other.
Xu Miaomiao turned to look at Jiang Wenyu with gratitude. If she hadn't taken the initiative to speak, she would probably have been punished by the Queen. Thanks to her presence, but now is not the time to be grateful.
Xu Miaomiao pulled Song Zhijin out of the house.
Song Zhijin's eyes darkened, but she didn't let Xu Miaomiao see it. Instead, she pretended to be ignorant and said to Xu Miaomiao, "Madam Xu, why didn't you let me tell the Queen? If things continue like this, and Jiahe doesn't come, what should we do?"
After Xu Miaomiao said this, she looked at Song Zhijin and said, "Princess Jiahe is allergic, and it happened at her birthday party. If this matter is investigated, it will naturally not make anyone feel good. Why don't we keep these things secret together? I will go and give Princess Jiahe acupuncture later. I believe she will wake up soon. We can just pretend that nothing happened. Isn't that good?"
Xu Miaomiao looked at Song Zhijin and spoke.
Now, he has seen through Song Zhijin's tricks. She just wanted to make Princess Jiahe fall ill and let the Queen Mother punish her, so that all the blame would be put on herself. But now that she has pulled Song Zhijin out, she and herself are tied to the same rope. Even if the Queen Mother finds out that Princess Jiahe is allergic because of Yu Ruyi, Song Zhijin cannot escape the responsibility. It would be better to buy this matter with her now, give Princess Jiahe a short recovery, and let her attend early. This would be the right thing to do.
When Song Zhijin heard this, her expression darkened, and she looked at Xu Miaomiao with a complicated look. She had originally wanted to blame Xu Miaomiao, but now this woman was so scheming as to pull her out. If she were to tell the Queen the original story, she would probably be in trouble for both sides.
