Space Fisherwoman: Going fishing in the sea and getting rich

Chapter 332 The incident happened
At this time, the palace maid Rumeng returned to the small kitchen and saw that only the dregs of the medicine she had just boiled were left. She had no choice but to take a new dose of medicine and start boiling it.

While there was no one around, she took out the jade bottle from her arms and wanted to pour the contents of the bottle into the medicine.

Just to avoid being discovered, she would only carry a small bottle of medicine with her each time, and the amount she brought today had already been used up just now.

Ru Meng saw that the medicine bottle was empty and a palace maid was coming over. She asked the maid to help her watch the fire while she went to get the medicine.

What she didn't know was that the secret guard was following her quietly.

After following her around several corners, we arrived at a secluded yard.

A man in the yard saw her coming and his face changed. "Why are you here? Didn't I tell you to come back in the evening?"

Ru Meng said anxiously, "Today, the Empress Dowager came back from outside and didn't want to take the medicine. When she remembered, the medicine was cold, so she asked me to change it."

"After changing it for the second time, she complained that the taste was not right. I guess it was because I added more water and the taste was too light. She also added too much of the medicine you gave her, which changed the taste. She asked me to boil it again, but adding more water would definitely not work."

"The medicine you gave me ran out after two uses. I have no choice but to come to you to get the medicine in order to achieve my master's goal."

The man nodded, returned to the house, and gave her the medicine. "Today's situation is special, so I won't blame you. You must prevent this from happening next time. There are many people around during the day, and if the old woman knows that you often come to my place, my plan will fail."

Ru Meng said: "I understand. With this experience, I will be well prepared next time."

The man said, "Okay, go back."

"Yes." But as soon as Ru Meng turned her head and saw the person in front of her, her pupils suddenly shrank.

My legs softened involuntarily and I collapsed to the ground.

Two palace maids immediately stepped forward, snatched the medicine from Rumeng's hand, and gave it to Doctor Zhao who came with her.

Doctor Zhao opened it and smelled it, then said solemnly, "Reporting to the Grand Empress Dowager, this medicine is benzoin. You have had heart pain in recent years, so benzoin is added to the medicine you drink every day."

"If you take the right amount of benzoin, it won't do any harm to your health."

"But benzoin also has the effect of refreshing the mind. If the dose is too high, especially if you often take it in the evening, the benzoin will just work when you go to bed, which is why you suffer from insomnia at night and feel sleepy during the day."

"This bottle of medicine is probably made from several kilograms of benzoin. You only need to pour half a bottle into your medicine to achieve the effect its owner needs."

"After checking the two bowls of medicine just now, I found that the smell of benzoin was indeed excessive. If taken for a long time, it will be very harmful to the body. In serious cases, it will endanger life."

The Empress Dowager looked at the woman in front of her and said angrily, "Yuan Le, since you entered the palace when you were over ten years old, I have treated you well. Even if you were not kind to Li Er and did many things to hurt him, I didn't intend to execute you for Li Er's sake. Why did you do such a thing!"

Xiao Xuanli also looked at Chu Yuanle with disappointment, "Mother, you are so cruel. Grandmother is so good to you, why do you want to hurt her? Where do you put me by doing this?"

That’s right, the person who was talking to Rumeng was the current empress dowager, Chu Yuanle.
