I became the tyrant's only belief.

Chapter 169 There are insects
Xia Qiaoru delivered the medicine to Changchun Palace, received the reward and came out. As she turned the corner, she saw a familiar figure and hurriedly took two quick steps, "Liu Zheng?"

Hearing the voice, Chu Liuzheng, who was carrying a lunch box, turned around with a look of surprise on his face: "What a coincidence, why are you here?"

"I was ordered to bring pregnancy-preserving medicine to the Empress. Why are you here alone?" Xia Qiaoru took the food box from her arm and carried it herself, supporting her with her other hand. "The food box is so heavy, the road is slippery, and your hand is injured. Why don't you ask Miss Moxiang to come with you?"

"I'm not a child. I have to ask Sister Moxiang to accompany me wherever I go." Chu Liuzheng smiled. "I wanted to go to the imperial kitchen to look for Eunuch Chen, but unfortunately he went to the Imperial Hospital. I have to go again tomorrow."

She looked at Xia Qiaoru and said, "When we get back, ask for me if Eunuch Chen is ill. If you get confirmation, let me know. If he is ill, I will bring him some herbs when I visit him tomorrow."

"You only say that I'm worried, but you're also worried." Xia Qiaoru said, "I'll ask for you when I get back. I'll take you back to Nongyun Garden first."

"Okay." Chu Liuzheng responded lightly.

The two of them haven't had a good talk for a while, so they can take this opportunity to have a good chat.

As they were chatting and were about to reach Nong Yunyuan, Xia Qiaoru suddenly remembered something.

She looked around carefully and whispered to Chu Liuzheng, "I saw something strange a few days ago and forgot to tell you."

[Strange thing? I don't think it's what Yuzhui said.]

Chu Liuzheng looked at her curiously and motioned for her to speak quickly.

Xia Qiaoru whispered, "I also happened to see it when I was delivering medicine. It was near Changchun Palace. A white shadow flashed and disappeared. Fortunately, it was broad daylight. If it was at night, I would have been scared to death. Do you think I saw a ghost?"

[White shadow? Didn't the jade pendant say it was hanging on the rope? It wasn't there one second, and it was hanging there the next.]

Chu Liuzheng suppressed the urge to open the system right now, and comforted him softly: "You said it was broad daylight, if it was a ghost, it would come out at night, right? Don't scare yourself."

"But I wasn't the only one who saw it." Xia Qiaoru said, "Qiluo, who went with me to deliver the medicine, also saw it."

Qi Luo was also a palace maid working in the pharmacy. She was timid, dull and didn't like to talk. When Chu Liuzheng was still working in the pharmacy, the two had almost no communication.

Therefore, when Xia Qiaoru mentioned this person, Chu Liuzheng thought for a while before he remembered what Qi Luo looked like.

Xia Qiaoru said, "We all saw it. It's impossible that both of us saw it wrong, right?"

"Maybe it was just a piece of white gauze that was blown over and you just happened to see it." Chu Liuzheng signaled her to relax.

"That's a possibility." Xia Qiaoru nodded, put it behind her, and sent Chu Liuzheng back to Nong Yunyuan.

Moxiang had just boiled some medicine and was about to go into the house when she saw the two of them coming over and greeted them with a smile.

The three of them went into the house together. Moxiang poured some hot tea and handed one cup to Xia Qiaoru and one cup to Chu Liuzheng.

"I thought I would go to the imperial kitchen to look for you after I put the medicine away, and bring back the chicken soup, but I didn't expect you to come back so soon."

Chu Liuzheng said, "Eunuch Chen is not here, I will go tomorrow. It just so happens that the chicken soup is already cooked, I will bring it back on the way."

Moxiang nodded.

Xia Qiaoru finished her tea and was about to leave, but Chu Liuzheng stopped her, "Why are you in such a hurry? Eat your bowl first, so I don't have to send it to you again."

Moxiang went to get the bowl and chopsticks, scooped out a bowl and placed it in front of Xia Qiaoru.

The chicken soup was so delicious that it made Xia Qiaoru feel hungry.

The meals for the palace maids and eunuchs in the pharmacy were even worse than those in Nong Yunyuan. She didn't bother to be polite with Chu Liuzheng. She reached out and picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of chicken and was about to eat it when she suddenly heard Mitsuki's voice from outside, "Sister Moxiang, are you in the room?"

"In the house." Moxiang responded.

The door was not bolted, Mitsuki pushed the door open and came in with a food box in his hand.

She smiled and said, "His Majesty gave me some snacks, including kidney bean rolls, golden red bean cakes, and rose cakes. I'll bring them to my two sisters."

Seeing Xia Qiaoru was there, she quickly greeted her. Xia Qiaoru was not familiar with her, so she just nodded while holding her chopsticks.

Mitsuki placed the food box on the table and brought out three plates of snacks.

Chu Liuzheng glanced at the packed snacks and asked, "They've all been sent back. How about you guys?"

"Two of each were sent from the imperial kitchen." Mitsuki said, "There are some in the tea room. This one is for the sisters."

Looking at the three plates of dim sum, Xia Qiaoru sighed in her heart that being served in the imperial court was a good thing. She picked up the chicken again and was about to put it in her mouth. Unexpectedly, Mitsuki suddenly pointed at her chopsticks and exclaimed, "Bugs!"

After shouting, he reached out and knocked the chicken on the chopsticks to the ground.

The chicken rolled on the ground several times and was covered with dust.

There were no bugs on it.

The atmosphere suddenly became a little awkward. Xia Qiaoru looked up at Siyue, suspecting that Siyue did it on purpose.

Not only she had doubts, Chu Liuzheng and Moxiang also had doubts.

[Where did the bugs come from in this weather? Even if there were bugs, there's no reason why Sister Moxiang couldn't see them when she was scooping the chicken soup. ]

[Miyue has always been more stable than Chenxing, but he suddenly did this. Could it be that... there is something wrong with this chicken soup? I remember that Miyue learned to make and detoxify poisons in the Dark Guard Camp.]

Chu Liuzheng stared at the steaming chicken soup on the table, a layer of cold sweat seeping out of his back.

She hurriedly opened the system to search, and the moment she saw the answer, she was so scared that her hair almost stood up.

[Fuck! After twelve hours, the poison takes effect and he loses his mind and becomes a madman?! ]

She was shocked that someone would use such a high-level poison against her.

What qualifications does a little palace maid like her have?
"The bug is here." Mitsuki stretched out his hand, and there was a squirming black bug in the palm of his hand, which looked like a maggot.

She said, "I just grabbed it from the chicken."

Three people: "..."

Chu Liuzheng gave a thumbs up in his heart.

[This patch is great! 】

Xia Qiaoru, who almost swallowed the bug, turned her head and covered her chest with her hands, retching. Moxiang quickly poured her a glass of water for her to rinse her mouth, complaining, "The people in the imperial kitchen must have been careless when they served the soup. It looks disgusting. Don't eat the chicken soup today."

Chu Liuzheng responded, "Yes, yes, yes. Who knows what this bug has crawled through? Don't eat it."

"I can't let my sisters suffer." Mitsuki reached out and picked up the soup bowl and put it into the food box. "I'll go ask the people in the imperial kitchen."

She picked up the food box and left very quickly, not giving Chu Liuzheng and the other two a chance to stop her.

Chu Liuzheng looked at the wide-open door and once again gave Siyue a thumbs up in his heart.

[Mizuki was sent by the tyrant to monitor the palace servants who served the emperor. If she found that the chicken soup was poisonous, she would report it to the tyrant immediately.]

She suddenly realized that it was a good idea to have secret guards disguised as palace maids. Troubles could be reported directly to the tyrant, and she didn't have to deal with it herself.

She turned the system on again.

[Let me see, the person who poisoned the chicken soup is…Wa Qu! It turned out to be Xiao Yuzi! ]

[We have no grudge against each other. I even paid him for running errands. Is he so bored that he wants to poison me? ]
