Pampering the outside room alone? I entered the East Palace to pass on the sick and weak prince

Murong Heng said: "The Queen Mother made persimmon cakes and asked me to bring some back."

Leng Ye placed the food box on the table and opened the lid.

Murong Heng said.

"The Queen Mother has rarely been sober in the past few years. Whenever her mind is clear, she will call me over and cook me something to eat." ?.??????.???

As he spoke, he picked up a piece of persimmon.

But he was stopped by Shen Ruoxi.

"Test the poison first."

Murong Heng nodded and let her check it carefully to make sure it was not poisonous before eating one.

"You guys should try it too."

Shen Ruoxi gave the persimmons to Taoye Lengshuang, Wei Tingshan and others beside her, and each handed one to them.

After everyone tasted it, Shen Ruoxi ordered people to prepare dishes for Murong Heng to eat.

After eating, he took a bath and changed clothes, went to the palace, and began to process documents.

In the past, he always did these things in the study, but after being with Shen Ruoxi, he became accustomed to sending other people away to handle these things in the palace.

The hall was brightly lit with candles, and when she turned around, Shen Ruoxi was reading or doing other things not far away.

The scene was warm and made him feel at ease.

Xiao Yuzi and Tao Ye stayed outside.

Looking at the warm candlelight in the hall, Taoye was a little envious.

"It would be great if I could be like the princess in the future and find someone who loves me and loves me so much."

"What, you want to get married?"

Xiao Yuzi looked at her with a smile.

Taoye muttered: "Can't I just say it like this? If I have someone I like, I will also be nice to him."

"Then you have to learn embroidery skills."

Hearing this, Taoye blushed and remembered that her mandarin duck was called a duck by Xiao Yuzi.

"You have bad eyesight, and you blame me for my poor embroidery skills."

"Yes, it's my fault for bad eyesight."

Xiao Yuzi nodded and took the blame on himself.

Taoye snorted before giving up.

The two of them waited outside for a while, and suddenly snow started to fall from the sky. It soon became heavier and heavier, and heavy snow fell down, hitting their bodies with cold ice.

The two of them patted the snowflakes on their bodies and ran to a sheltered position under the eaves.

Just as he had packed away the snow, he saw Wei Tingshan and the little eunuch walking over carrying a hot food box.

Taoye leaned over.

"It smells so good, Eunuch Wei, what is this?"

"It's snowing heavily. I've prepared some bird's nests for you two masters."

After that, he took the people and walked in.

In the hall, Murong Heng was reading documents. Shen Ruoxi sat next to him, her eyes glanced over, and then fell on him.

Shen Ruoxi looked at him since he came in.

Wei Tingshan felt a little strange.

After he filled the bird's nest and brought it to Murong Heng, he saw him saying:

"No need, go get the Queen Mother's persimmons."

"Yes."

Wei Tingshan took the persimmons and placed them next to Murong Heng.

While Murong Heng was flipping through the paperwork, he reached out and picked up the top piece of persimmon.

He put it in his hand and turned it around, but he didn't rush to take it in.

For a while, he paused slightly, then suddenly put down the document in his hand, his narrow and beautiful eyes turned slightly, fell on the persimmon in his hand, and chuckled.

"This persimmon is so good."

Wei Tingshan immediately said: "This is made by the Queen Mother herself, so it is naturally good."

"Yes, the Queen Mother made it with her own hands. Then tell me, who is so bold as to poison it?"

Hearing this, Wei Tingshan was startled and could hardly believe his ears.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, what do you mean by this?"

Murong Heng did not answer, but looked at him with cold eyes.

"Call a few people outside in."

Wei Tingshan turned around solemnly, and then called in the few people guarding outside.

Taoye and Xiao Yuzi came in first, followed by Leng Ye and Leng Shuang.

Several people came in with relaxed expressions, but when they saw Murong Heng's expression, they gradually stopped smiling.

They were the people who had served Murong Heng the longest and closest to him, and they could feel that Murong Heng was in a bad mood at the moment.

Wei Tingshan stood aside and said uneasily.

"Your Highness, is there any misunderstanding? How could the Queen Mother's pastries be poisoned..."

Hearing this, the expressions of the people next to them changed drastically.

"Poison?!"

Leng Ye was suddenly startled, and then asked: "Who is so bold and dares to poison the East Palace? Master, do you have anyone to doubt?"

"Have."

On Murong Heng's cold face, his eyes flashed with a cold edge as he scanned the people in front of him one by one.

"Among you."

The hall fell silent instantly.

Several people were briefly shocked for a moment, and then they all knelt down.

Shen Ruoxi took out the silver needle, and several people saw that the tip of the needle was obviously black.

It's highly toxic.

She stood up slowly.

"When this persimmon was delivered, I had already checked it in front of you. It was not poisonous. However, it only lasted for dinner, and it turned out like this. During this period, I did not allow other palace guests to come in, only you. Several people came in and out.”

Shen Ruoxi's voice was calm and composed, but it made the kneeling people break into cold sweats.

She rolled her eyes.

"cold night."

Leng Ye was startled and immediately handed over his hand.

"The Crown Princess is definitely not a subordinate! I swear on my life!"

"I know it wasn't you. After you took the persimmons, you went out with Leng Shuang to guard the place and never came in."
