Chapter 341 The Storm Was Coming

Before the grand preceptor, the emperor and the new empress needed to stay in the mansion to pray for three days and can not eat mean, which was the rule of the old ancestors. Praying for three days meant that their happy events would be smooth and auspicious. So they can not eat meat during the three days...

Yun Shang narrowed her eyes and thought, 'those guys have gone too far. They initiated the attack first.'. Thinking of this, Yun Shang stood up in a hurry and said to Prince Jing, "I'm afraid I have to go to the palace now."

Prince Jing looked at Yun Shang. He hesitated a little and then nodded. "I know you are worried about lady Jin. I've heard the rumors in the palace several days ago. This time they are coming for lady Jin. Go to the palace now. Do you want me to go with you?"

Yun Shang kept silent for a while and slowly shook her head. Although the incident was related to the grand ceremony, it was still an incident in the imperial household. She didn't want Prince Jing to get involved in it too much. Men should be considerate and thinking about the matter of the whole country, and women should deal with matters in the family. Moreover, this is only related to her mother.

Yun Shang asked Prince Jing to drink the white fungus soup on the table, and then asked Qian Yin to change her clothes for her. She went out of the door with a pink cloak, and the carriage was ready. She rushed to the palace.

Lady Jin should be present as one of the persons in charge of the grand preceptor's preparation now that an incident happened. Besides, she kept the Empress' token for the time being, and the incident was in the imperial household now.

Yun Shang didn't want to go to the Jinxiu palace, so she asked a maid to take her to the Changan Hall. It was a Buddhist hall set in the palace, where the concubines pray, and the emperor prayed in qinzheng hall.

When Yun Shang arrived, she saw emperor Ning and Lady Ya sitting on the chairs. Lady Jin stood beside emperor Ning and looked at the maids kneeling on the ground, with a frown on her head.

"I have been staying in the cooking room all these days. His majesty and Lady ya have kept in the room for a whole day, and we have even prayed in the imperial household. Lady Jin ordered that all the food in the palace is forbidden to have meat, so in the following days, no meat has been sent to the palace. I don't know where the dog meat comes from either. I'm innocent... "

Yun Shang knew from the maid's words that she must be the one who worked in the cooking room. Judging from her wail, Yun Shang could not get any information from her.

"Were you beside the cook when he cooked?" Emperor Ning said calmly.

The maid shook her head. "There are many people in the imperial meal room, but I didn't expect that someone would dare to do something to the meal, so I didn't pay attention to it and left several times."

Yun Shang looked at the maid thoughtfully. Even in the face of such a situation, the maid was neither overbearing nor servile. She cried and screamed, but she gave a clear answer that could not be simple. She must not be a simple girl at all.

"Did anyone else come there when you were making lunch?" Lady Jin asked softly.

T

e quickly took over the bowl, smelled it, and then took out the spoon, and looked at it carefully.

Emperor Ning realized that the imperial physician had the same actions as Yun Shang's just now. He turned around and looked at Yun Shang. 'Does she know medical skills as well?' It was just his guess, but he couldn't draw a conclusion. This daughter had given him too much surprise or fright. He had never known that she was able to shoot an arrow as she did at the royal banquet the other day.

The imperial physician paused and replied, "Your Majesty, I guess the meat in the bowl is made of fish."

"Fish?" Emperor Ning said with a frown, "We don't ask anyone to send fish in the palace. And we don't breed fish here. Where is it from?"

The imperial physician replied momentarily, "there is perch ground with dried meat in the imperial hospital."

"Really? Is it can also be used as medicine? " Emperor Ning raised his eyebrows and asked.

The imperial physician nodded and said, "the fish meat can nourish the five organs, nourish your bones, stomach and intestines, nourish the fetus, water and affect people's health as well. The general drugstore is serving dry fish meat all around the city. "

"For prevention of miscarriage?" Emperor Ning frowned and his eyes also grew cold.

Lady Jin was the only one who had used the perch meat these days. Now it was clear that the trap was buried in her place.

Emperor Ning looked up at Lady Jin, and saw her still calm and unmoved as if nothing had happened. he turned to Yun Shang again. There was a smile on Yun Shang's face, but it seemed a little cold.

Emperor Ning did not show any odd expression and said flatly, "who had taken the perch fish meat from the imperial hospital recently?"

The imperial physician seemed to recall for a moment, and replied softly, "no one has taken the perch fish meat in the palace recently. Lady Jin's old maid Madam Zheng had used the effect of the poison. At that time, lady Jin was pregnant with the little prince, and Madam Zheng learnt about medicine, so she went to the Imperial hospital to get some fish meat to prevent lady Jin's miscarriage."
