Chapter 550 She Likes the Empress
Master Yao's expression changed instantly; she felt there was no way there could be poison here!
After all, she herself had some medical skills; if it were poison, how could she not know?
Moreover, I had drunk the water from here before and there was no problem at all.
She frowned slightly and gave Xiao Su Bao a hostile look.
The empress remained silent, her brows furrowing slightly.
A took the silver needle and put it into the water.
After a moment, the silver needles showed no change whatsoever.
Jia instinctively looked at Xiao Su Bao: "The silver needles haven't changed!"
Little Su Bao said, "It's poisonous! It contains poppy juice!"
poppy!
Isn't this just opium?!
The emperor had banned this thing long ago, so how could it still exist?
The empress's expression changed slightly, and her eyes fell into the water.
"How could there be poppy juice in clean water? You must be talking nonsense!"
Just then, Master Yao's eldest apprentice couldn't help but speak up.
Little Su Bao didn't speak, but remained very quiet.
Master Yao seemed to have thought of something, and his face instantly turned very ugly.
During this period, she said that everyone seemed to have a bigger appetite, and that she wasn't making enough food for them every day.
Even I often get hungry, and the hunger makes me feel uncomfortable.
But it gets better every time I just drink a little water or eat something made with water!
She was somewhat horrified!
Master Yao took a deep look at Xiao Su Bao, then quickly walked to the water's edge, where she carefully sniffed the water.
However, there was no smell of poppies at all in the water.
If Xiao Su Bao was lying, she also sensed that something was wrong.
Seeing their serious expressions, Xiao Su Bao continued, "In addition to poppy juice, they added a drug to the water today that can drive people mad. That drug, when combined with poppy, will cause hallucinations!"
Xiao Su Bao also learned about this thing by chance from Wang Mingtian.
Looking back now, perhaps Master knew this day would come!
After all, his master was a master strategist who could calculate everything perfectly!
"What!"
At this moment, Jia Yi, who was standing to the side, completely lost his composure!
They are responsible for protecting the Queen's safety!
But if the entire army goes berserk, can she protect herself?
Even myself might...
Thinking of this, Jia Yi's expression changed slightly, and he gripped the long sword in his hand even tighter.
Master Yao's expression changed slightly, and a hint of coldness appeared in his eyes.
"Girl, do you know what you're saying?"
Master Yao stared intently at Xiao Su Bao, his fists clenched.
Jia Yi and the Empress stood protectively in front of Xiao Su Bao, their eyes fixed on Master Yao.
"Yao Miaoren, what is my daughter saying? Are you deaf or blind?!" Tang Bugui's dark face had reached its limit!
If the Empress hadn't been there, he probably would have already made his move!
"Tang Bugui, I wasn't talking to you! Girl, do you know how much trouble it would cause if... what you said was true..."
"I'm telling the truth, Master Yao's Crispy Treasures wouldn't lie!"
As Xiao Su Bao spoke, she added, "If you don't believe me, you can have this older sister come over!"
Little Su Bao pointed to a little girl who had been quietly staying at the very back.
The girl's expression changed instantly, and she hurriedly said, "I didn't, I don't know anything!"
The little girl hurriedly spoke up, but Jia Yi had already rushed over and grabbed the little girl, bringing her to Xiao Su Bao's side.
Little Su Bao took out a silver needle and, in the next instant, pierced several of the little girl's acupoints.
The little girl screamed and broke out in a cold sweat.
"Help! Master Yao, help me..." The little girl looked at Master Yao, who was about to help, but was grabbed by the Empress!
"Let's see!" The Queen believed that Little Su Bao wouldn't do something she wasn't sure of.
But the thought that her female soldiers' camp might have been infiltrated made the Empress's expression turn somewhat unpleasant.
The Empress's face was gloomy. Yao Miaoren wanted to say something, but when she saw the Empress holding her hand, she fell silent.
Xiao Su Bao had already grabbed the little girl's wrist. Seeing the little girl's face turn somewhat pale, Xiao Su Bao didn't say anything. Instead, she quickly pressed on the little girl's acupoint.
Immediately afterwards, she pinched the silver needle and pricked it into the tip of the little girl's middle finger.
The next instant, they saw the black blood that looked like ink.
Then a peculiar smell wafted out.
Tang Bugui's face darkened, and he pulled Xiao Subao back several steps.
The little girl's face was extremely gloomy, and a strong killing intent flashed in her eyes.
But at this moment, she was being held by Jia Yi and was unable to make a move.
"You will all die! You will all die! Yama will appear, the Shang Dynasty will perish, the Rakshasa will fall to the Yellow Springs, annihilation, annihilation, annihilation!"
As she spoke, the little girl's eyes widened, her body trembled, blood trickled from the corner of her lips, and she died instantly.
"Damn it!" Yao Miaoren stepped forward, but the little girl had already completely lost her breath.
When Yao Miaoren came over, a hint of guilt flashed in the little girl's eyes.
But it was only a tiny bit!
This little girl is one of Yao Miaoren's favorite girls!
"General, this is my fault, Yao Miaoren. I misjudged people. Please punish me!"
After she finished speaking, she raised her head, and a hint of pain appeared in her clear eyes.
The Empress looked at Yao Miaoren. The two had fought side by side for many years, and the Empress naturally knew what kind of person Yao Miaoren was.
Yao Miaoren is doing this because she wants to protect the lives of the other people in the kitchen!
The female army was the empress's army, specially reserved for her by the emperor!
If the Empress had been willing, both of them could have ascended to the throne and been called the Two Saints, but the Empress was unwilling.
Feeling guilty, the emperor indulged the empress even more.
All the court officials knew that if they offended the emperor, the worst that could happen was that they would be flogged or have their silver confiscated!
But if you offend the Empress, it could really be fatal.
At that moment, the Empress glanced at Yao Miaoren, and then reached out and took Xiao Su Bao's hand.
"Su Bao, were you frightened?" The Empress looked at little Su Bao and spoke gently.
Xiao Su Bao shook her head, paused, and said, "She's a bad person, she deserves to die!"
He looks only ninety years old, but he always speaks with a mature air about him.
The Empress patted her head, then continued, "Yes, bad people deserve to die!"
Xiao Su Bao looked at Yao Miaoren, then at the Empress. The Empress Dowager already had a murderous aura. If she killed Yao Miaoren, who had accumulated merits, her old illness would definitely relapse!
She liked the Empress very much and couldn't bear to see her suffer. The little girl tugged at the Empress's sleeve with her small hand and looked at the Empress with her clear black and white eyes, saying, "Grandma, Master Yao didn't harm anyone!"
Yao Miaoren was taken aback, looking at Xiao Su Bao with a face full of surprise, not knowing what to say for a moment.
She had originally thought the girl would take advantage of her misfortune, since her attitude towards the girl hadn't been very good.
She paused, looking at Xiao Su Bao, unsure of what to say.
“You…” Yao Miaoren opened her mouth, but couldn’t say a word.
Tang Bugui glanced at Yao Miaoren, but said calmly, "Master Yao, don't overthink it. My daughter is objective, not personal, unlike some people... ha, they're personal, not objective!"
Yao Miaoren's face flushed, and she realized that Tang Bugui was talking about her.
She glanced back at Tang Bugui, and sure enough, this brat was just as annoying as he was when they were kids!
Yao Miaoren didn't speak, but stood silently to the side.
After a moment, Yao Miaoren took a deep breath: "General, please punish me!"
Then he turned to Xiao Su Bao and said, "Miss Tang, I was wrong before, I'm sorry!"
Yao Miaoren spoke very seriously, and there was a serious look in her eyes.
Tang Bugui frowned. He knew very well how old-fashioned this old guy was!
This time, it's quite rare for him to back down!
Tang Bugui wanted to say something more, but after a pause, he remained silent.
Even when facing the emperor, he would use sarcastic remarks, so today he was giving Yao Miaoren a lot of face.
"It's alright!" Xiao Su Bao shook her head slightly, but then she saw that some of Yao Miao Ren's merits were slowly transferred towards Xiao Su Bao.
Xiao Su Bao looked on in surprise. Before she could speak, Yao Miao Ren said, "Miss, you were able to find that girl. I wonder if you can find her or cure this poison?"
This time, the Empress did not interrupt. She was also somewhat hopeful that the young girl in front of her might have other ideas.
Little Su Bao was silent for a moment before speaking, "I have an idea!"
The little girl looked at Yao Miaoren.
Yao Miaoren was taken aback, but said very respectfully, "Please speak. If there is anything I can do to help, I will certainly do my best!"
Little Su Bao looked at her and then said, "I need to borrow something from you!"
Yao Miaoren nodded to Xiao Su Bao: "Take whatever you have from me."
She felt guilty for almost harming this women's military camp. Even if the Empress wanted her life, she wouldn't have flinched.
Xiao Su Bao breathed a sigh of relief. Although she had a lot of merit, she couldn't use it. She always felt that her merit seemed to have other uses.
The Empress's merits cannot be used here, as she originally possessed malevolent energy, and merits must be used to suppress it.
Father...
Forget it, Father is even worse off. Father is just having a run of bad luck, and he's only holding on because of all this good karma!
Even Xiao Su Bao could only watch helplessly, unable to offer any assistance.
"Thank you, Master Yao!" Little Su Bao said obediently.
Yao Miaoren breathed a sigh of relief, her eyes filled with gratitude.
A moment later, Xiao Su Bao taught Yao Miao Ren a mnemonic, and then brought out yellow paper and cinnabar.
Little Su Bao quickly drew some strange runes on the yellow paper.
Yao Miaoren was taken aback. For some reason, when she looked at the rune, she felt a sense of being drawn to it.
Little Su Bao quickly folded the yellow paper talisman into a small triangle.
"Please hold on tight, Master Yao. Only release the paper talisman when you feel it start to burn. Do not let go before that!" Xiao Su Bao instructed.
Yao Miaoren, who had never believed in such things, subconsciously looked at the Empress, only to find that the Empress did not stop her.
Yao Miaoren paused, then nodded.
Xiao Su Bao breathed a sigh of relief, and then, following her master's instructions, she searched the kitchen.
I found several of the things I needed.
But it's lacking in some aspects.
The little girl turned her head to look at the Empress.
"Grandma, I need..." Little Su Bao listed several kinds of Chinese medicine.
These are all used as antidotes, but poppy poison is different from ordinary poisons. This poison is addictive and makes people feel a kind of euphoric feeling.
The method Master mentioned is a bit harmful; it will make these people feel uncomfortable and nauseous whenever they smell poppies or similar things in the future.
Soon, everything that Xiao Su Bao wanted was sent over by the Empress.
Huo Xian also came over.
Her face looked rather pale.
When she returned and found that the Empress and the others were gone, she had a vague feeling of unease. Now that she was back and saw this scene, Huo Xian felt even more uneasy.
The Empress saw Huo Xian, but only glanced at him out of the corner of her eye, without saying a word.
Huo Xian had just opened his mouth when he heard Xiao Su Bao say, "Alright, we can start now!"
As Xiao Su Bao spoke, she processed the medicine, and after a moment, she threw it into the huge iron pot one by one.
Huo Xian was taken aback, and at this moment he couldn't help but shift his attention.
Xiao Su Bao is very fast, and she always has Yao Miaoren stirring it for her.
For some reason, Yao Miaoren, who usually doesn't feel tired even when cooking for a whole battalion, felt exhausted after just a few stirs today.
Even soon, a bead of sweat appeared on his forehead.
Little Su Bao watched as the merits on Yao Miaoren's body slowly mixed with the spoon and fell into the medicinal soup.
She secretly pricked her fingertip and, when they weren't looking, dripped a drop of her blood into it.
The Empress frowned slightly, and in that instant, she smelled a familiar scent.
The Empress instinctively looked at Xiao Su Bao, but the little chicks beside the girl suddenly started chirping angrily.
Little Su Bao was getting impatient and reached out to grab Little Wu Mao's mouth!
"Be good, don't shout!"
The little 50-cent party member was furious but didn't know what to do.
Seeing the herbs stained with Xiao Su Bao's blood being put into the pot, he was so anxious he wanted to spit fire.
Fortunately, Xiao Su Bao pinched her mouth shut, so she only exhaled a puff of black smoke.
Little Golden Bean, however, had just taken a bite of the medicinal herb stained with Su Bao's blood, and then flew back before anyone could notice.
But no one noticed.
Little Su Bao saw it and was speechless.
Fortunately, some of the blood still seeped into the pot.
The wound on Xiao Su Bao's hand healed almost immediately.
Mo Bao stood not far from Xiao Su Bao, seeing the whole scene clearly. He was even worried that Xiao Su Bao would be discovered, so he blocked other people's view.
At that moment, the color of the medicine, which was originally dark, slowly changed into an indescribable color.
A rich aroma wafted from the pot.
Little Su Bao's eyes lit up; it worked!
She immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
At that moment, Yao Miaoren suddenly felt a burning sensation in her hand, which startled her.
Looking down, I saw wisps of dark gray ash falling.
The spoon in her hand was taken away by Xiao Su Bao.
The little girl smiled slightly and continued stirring.
Little Wu Mao immediately became anxious, and even Little Golden Bean let out a restless hiss.
Little Bell paced anxiously back and forth beside Little Crispy's trouser leg.
Animals have the most acute senses.
When Xiao Su Bao took the spoon, the merit from Su Bao reaching out still couldn't be avoided flowing into the medicine soup.
The faint fragrance suddenly became hundreds of times stronger.
Huo Xian and the others' expressions changed slightly.
