C191 Xianfei's allergy

The Prime Minister Liu came to the palace specially because of the incident with the Wu Shang Shu.

"Rong'er, no matter what you do, you have to stop Shen Qingwan from investigating this matter. Otherwise, it will affect us as well!" Prime Minister Liu's tone was very serious, even Liu Chu Rong couldn't ignore him.

After sending off the Prime Minister Liu, Liu Chugrong thought about how he should deal with Shen Qingwan, and how he should take advantage of this opportunity to teach her a lesson.

"Xiao Lv, I heard that you have some connection with Consort Xian's servant Xiao Man?" She lazily leaned against the beauty bed, probing her words, "You are a person of my palace, so you should know who this heart is for."

Xiao Lv knelt on the ground devoutly, lowered her head and did not dare to say a single word.

The people of the palace all knew that the relationship between Consort Xian and Xiao Man wasn't good, and now that the Imperial Concubine was aware of her relationship with Xiao Man …

"Don't worry, I'm not an unreasonable person." She disdainfully swept a glance at Xiao Lv who was kneeling on the ground, "If you help me find information on the Consort Xian, we'll consider it as you making amends for your past deeds."

Xiao Lv nodded and left the room. After two days, she asked around and found out that the Consort Xian was allergic to almonds.

Since she wanted to get mixed up in Wu Shang Shu's corruption, she had no time to worry about it.

On that day, she ordered someone to make a cake with almond powder. Looking at the exquisite pastries in the box, her lips curled up into a proud smile.

She directly went to Shen Qingwan's palace and wanted to personally send it. Only after watching her personally eat the almond-filled pastries would she feel at ease.

"Consort Xian's sister, why haven't we seen Consort Xian's sister go out?" The corner of her mouth curved into a smile, and she greeted him with a very intimate tone. "I'm looking forward to having a good chat with my younger sister."

Shen Qing Wan frowned, feeling suspicious of her arrival.

Why would she suddenly come to look for him?

His heart was filled with doubts, but his expression was still calm. There was a smile that was neither too gentle nor too unfamiliar.

"Chenqie has a cold personality and doesn't like to make too much noise."

What she said was the truth. Her personality was not that boisterous, and she would normally only speak a few more words with Consort De. The rest of the people did not even say a few words.

"Today, I brought some pastries to visit my sister because I want to rebuild the relationship between us."

Without waiting, she sat down and called Xiao Lv to place the box of pastries on the table and opened it.

Shen Qingwan pursed her lips, looking at the exquisite pastries on the table, she felt even more puzzled.

It was too far-fetched to use the word "old friendship" between them. When had they ever been good?

"This is a new pastry prepared in the royal kitchen. I thought that my sister might not have the energy to look for it, so I sent it to her palace." It was natural for her to call her little sister, but Shen Qingwan didn't give her that much of face and didn't even address her as big sister.

Recently, when she was busy investigating the affairs of the Wu Shang Shu, she didn't have time to care about any pastries. She was just thinking about the clues, but unexpectedly, she interrupted her.

She was busy sending Liu Chugrong off, so she picked up a piece of cake from the box and took a bite.

This pastry was worthy of being taken from the royal kitchen. It melted in the mouth and tasted very sweet.

The corner of her mouth lifted, her pretty eyebrows slightly raised, "The pastries are very delicious, thank you Imperial Concubine."

Seeing that she had taken a bite without hesitation, a smug look flashed in her eyes.

He had nothing to say to her to begin with, and when he saw that she did not stop after eating, he said that she had matters to attend to in the palace and left.

After Liu Chugrong left, she was not in the mood to eat pastries. She casually put it in the pastries box and continued to think about the Wu Shang Shu.

However, for some unknown reason, he felt some discomfort in his body, but he couldn't say what it was.

"Xiao Man, pour me some hot tea." She frowned and pressed her hand to her chest. Could it be that all the pastries from before were parched?

Xiao Man turned around to find some hot water, but was immediately struck dumb when she returned.

Shen Qingwan, who had been sitting by the table, fell to the ground. She immediately put down the hot water in her hands and ran over.

"Empress, what happened to you?" Wake up! Imperial Physician! Imperial Physician! "

Xiao Man called for someone to help Shen Qingwan up and personally went to the Imperial Physician's hospital to look for her.

At this moment, the Emperor was sitting by Shen Qingwan's bedside, his handsome face showing a hint of worry. As for the imperial physician, he knelt on the ground to give her her pulse.

"How is Consort Xian?" His voice was low, but it carried a hint of anger.

Only then did the imperial physician withdraw his hand, his voice calm. "Concubine Xian's fainting was caused by allergies."

"Allergy?" Fu Yuheng couldn't help but frown. His gaze turned cold as it descended upon Xiao Man, who was standing at the side. "How did you serve her?!"

Xiao Man was Consort Xian's personal servant. Normally, she would come here to help with her daily life, so how could she even bring food that was allergic to her?

With his eyes wide open, he glanced worriedly at the Empress lying on the bed before replying.

"The emperor shall atone for his sins. The imperial concubine has always been strict with her food servants. There won't be any mistakes …" She also did not know what had gone wrong. She knew that the Empress was allergic to almonds, so she had specifically instructed the imperial kitchens to not add anything related to almonds.

"Concubine Xian doesn't have much to eat, I'll be fine after I prescribe a few portions of medicine." The imperial physician said in a low voice.

Hearing the imperial physician's words, Fu Yuheng felt much more at ease. Fortunately, it was only a light dose.

"What did the Consort Xian eat today?" He wanted to see if it was an accident or if there was someone behind it.

"Today, the Empress just ate some congee in the morning. She left some in the kitchen, and the rest …" Xiao Man racked her brains to think of what the Empress had eaten today. Her gaze swept across the table as she suddenly thought, "There's also pastries."

When the imperial physician heard of this, he called for people to bring out the two items. He only needed to examine them to know which one was the problem.

Xiao Man didn't dare to stay any longer as she quickly placed the two dishes on the table.

Fu Yuheng stood by the table, watching as the imperial physician bent over and tasted the dishes one by one. After eating the porridge, he took another bite of the pastries and suddenly frowned.

"This pastry contains almond powder!" he said firmly.

"Where did this cake come from?" Fu Yuheng's black eyes slowly narrowed, exuding a dangerous aura. He kept having the feeling that this matter wasn't as simple as it seemed.

Xiao Man suddenly thought of the Imperial Consort Liu's visit to the palace today. "Today, Imperial Consort Liu suddenly rose up to visit the Empress, and said that he would rely on these pastries to rebuild the relationship between the two of us."

She suddenly realized that Imperial Consort Liu wanted to harm the Empress!

"It must be the Imperial Consort Liu! "She watched as the Empress ate and then left in a hurry." Now that she thought about it, she realized it too.

After Fu Yuheng found out, his eyes were filled with rage. He even personally went to Liu Chugrong Palace and cursed at her.

After calculating the time, he thought that it was to change his character, but he didn't expect that he would actually do such a harming thing!
