Abandoning concubines and raising children to seize the throne

Zhu Yuyan leaned forward and said, "Your Majesty, you are serious. We are of low status. How can you, Your Majesty, have such a noble status and be on the same level as us?"

Yin Qingxuan smiled slightly and said: "That's right. I really don't have the same experience as you. In order to show my sincerity, I asked someone to test it with a silver needle to prevent you from being suspicious and afraid to use your chopsticks."

Anyway, the purpose of calling them here was to delay time, and Yin Qingxuan was not in a hurry.

She waved her hand towards Yuncai, who immediately walked to the table with a silver needle and tasted the poison one dish after another.

Seeing that the silver needle had not changed color, Zhu Yuyan curled her lips and said, "This slave just said it casually, how dare you doubt the noble concubine."

Yin Qingxuan said with a smile: "You are new here, so you should be wary of me. Can you see clearly now?"

Zhu Yuyan said: "I see clearly, thank you so much, Madam."

Yin Qingxuan stretched out her hand and made a gesture of invitation.

"You're welcome, sisters, please use your chopsticks."

Zhu Yuyan picked up the chopsticks, and the others followed suit.

The dishes on the table were filled with various kinds of chili peppers, and they were the hottest in the space. When they tasted them, their faces changed.

One of Jiangwu's maids couldn't stand the spicy food, so she spat out the hot peppers in her mouth.

Yin Qingxuan's face suddenly darkened.

"What do you mean? Could it be that the food I cook is not delicious?"

Zhu Yuyan immediately glared over.

The maid quickly picked up the chili pepper and put it in her mouth again.

"Your Majesty's food is very delicious, but this servant has behaved inappropriately."

Seeing her chewing the pepper vigorously, Yin Qingxuan nodded with satisfaction.

"You definitely don't have this thing over there. Since you think it's delicious, just eat up all these dishes."

Zhu Yuyan's face turned a little green.

This thing is so unpalatable that it feels like fire when chewed in the mouth. The taste is heart-wrenching and unbearable. I really don’t understand why people in the Zhou Kingdom eat this kind of thing?

Either Yin Qingxuan is teasing herself.

But she is a royal concubine, and she is just a mistress without a title. To put it bluntly, she is no different from a maid, so she can only endure it.

Yin Qingxuan asked again: "Why do you have such weird expressions? Could it be that these dishes are not to your liking?"

All the girls were so excited that they were speechless and looked at Zhu Yuyan subconsciously.

Zhu Yuyan had no choice but to bite the bullet and said, "Your Majesty, you are worrying too much because we have never eaten such delicious vegetables and we were so moved at the moment."

Yin Qingxuan showed a surprised expression.

"I see, then I can rest assured. Eat some more. I personally ordered people to cook these for you. If you don't eat them all, you will be looking down on Jinwu Palace's cooking skills."

Zhu Yuyan's heart was already on fire. At this time, she was sure that Yin Qingxuan deliberately made these things for them to eat.

But the words have been spoken just now, so I can only bite the bullet and eat it.

Ten plates full of chili, on average, one plate per person, which is really a challenge.

They had never eaten spicy food before, and within a short time they were all blushing and sweating, and they were all comparable to Guan Gong.

Yin Qingxuan sat aside and looked at them with a kind face, but actually he was observing these people.

The girls all looked at this woman named Yan Hong as they spoke. She should have some status among these maids.

If she is controlled, I wonder if she can get the antidote to the poison with Jiang Wu.

Thinking of this, Yin Qingxuan shook her head slightly.

No, we can't be reckless until we find out whether they have other identities, so as not to alert others.

In addition, we also need to look at Yin Xingyun's situation.

While he was thinking about it, Xiao Anzi had brought someone back and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, my servant has already done what you asked me to do."

Yin Qingxuan nodded and looked at the plates on the table.

Zhu Yuyan didn't want to stay here for a moment. If it weren't for the fact that poisonous insects were so hard to come by, she would have poisoned Yin Qingxuan long ago, causing her to suffer even more and die.

If she wanted to leave now, she could only eat up these unpalatable vegetables. Zhu Yuyan could only eat the peppers desperately and signaled to the girls to eat quickly.

Several people had the same thoughts as her, and they kept stuffing it into their mouths desperately, and finally finished eating, all of them were sweating.

Yin Qingxuan looked at the finished plate with satisfaction.

"It seems that you really like the food I cook. I will cook it for you someday when I have free time."

Hearing this, Zhu Yuyan couldn't help but feel her scalp numb.

"Thank you for your grace, your Majesty. The things in the palace are extremely precious. I really don't deserve such good food as my servants. I'd better keep it for myself."

Yin Qingxuan said pleasantly: "It is better to have fun alone than to have fun together. If there are good things, it is better to share them with you."

Zhu Yuyan gritted her teeth and said, "Thank you, my lady. It's time for me to go back."

Yin Qingxuan hummed and said, "You have been tired for a long distance and you really deserve a good rest. When you have rested, I will send someone to call you over."

Zhu Yuyan was itched all over from the heat. She was extremely uncomfortable, but she still had to endure it with all her strength. Her mouth felt more like it was on fire, her lips seemed to be swollen, and her speech was not so clear.

"My servants, please leave now."

Zhu Yuyan stood up, bowed hastily, and led the girls down to the stone pavilion.

Yin Qingxuan kept looking at the familiar figure, and suddenly Fangruo's face flashed in her heart.

Is she here too?

If it is really her, then their trip must have a purpose.

Yin Qingxuan's eyes turned slightly cold.

"Take Xiao Nanfeng with you and go to the Imperial Study Room."

Ye Jingyu had just gone to court and had not yet changed into his dragon robe.

The bright yellow tunic made him tall, tall and handsome. His eyes were as deep as lightning and he was full of energy.

Li Defu had already helped Ye Jingyu remove the imperial crown. When he saw Yin Qingxuan coming in, he immediately stepped aside knowingly.

"This servant pays my respects to the noble concubine."

"Eunuch Li, no courtesy."

Ye Jingyu turned around and asked with a smile: "Why are Xuan'er here? Didn't you say that you are leaving the palace to see your father today?"

Yin Qingxuan said: "I want to leave the palace, but before leaving the palace, I want to tell the emperor something."

Ye Jingyu reached out and picked up Xiao Nanfeng and rubbed his smooth little face.

"What's the matter?"

Yin Qingxuan looked back at Xiao Anzi and Yuncai, and they immediately retreated.

Li Defu was also a very discerning person. He waved to the other young eunuchs and closed the palace door.

Seeing Yin Qingxuan's serious face, Ye Jingyu was a little surprised.

"Could something be wrong?"

Yin Qingxuan pondered for a moment and said, "I suspect that the Jiang Wu women have other motives for entering the palace. One of these people has a figure that is very similar to Ash Lan's subordinate Fangruo."

Ye Jingyu nodded and said, "I also suspect that they have ulterior motives and have sent secret guards to monitor them secretly. Xuan'er doesn't have to worry."

Although these maids are insignificant, they represent very different meanings. Now that they have just signed a cessation of war agreement, if they are attacked rashly, there may be another dispute.

Yin Qingxuan naturally understood this truth and said: "Since the emperor has already made arrangements, I can rest assured. If nothing happens, I will take Xiao Nanfeng out of the palace."
