Poison doctor stupid

Chapter 16 National Birthday

With good intentions, maybe... Ouyang Pucao lowered her eyes to cover her emotions, but she didn't open her mouth to express her guess at this moment.

After receiving the jade cake handed over by Aunt Yun, Ouyang cattail grass was finely broken, kneaded into a powder, put it under his nose and smelled it, and smelled it again, the result was still the same as last time, and nothing unusual was found.

However, some poisons are colorless and odorless, and you can't detect the strangeness by looking and smelling them.

"Auntie, go to the imperial dining room and bring a chicken, just say that I suddenly want to eat it." Ouyang Pucao ordered.

"Yes." Aunt Yun went down.

While Ouyang Pucao took advantage of the time when Aunt Yun left, got dressed and waited on the chair for a while. Aunt Yun came back with a chicken.

"Your Majesty, what are you going to do now?" Although Aunt Yun didn't ask, she also knew in her heart that the Empress must be thinking about it at this moment, and to verify the conclusion in her mind, all she needs to do now is to cooperate with the Empress.

Ouyang Pucao was moved by Aunt Yu Yun's tacit understanding, and a gratified smile appeared on her face, "Auntie, you will feed this chicken a little jade cake at this time every day in the future. The portion does not need to be too much, just the size of a thumb. .Remember, keep this chicken hidden, so that no one else can see it."

After thinking about it, Ouyang Pucao ordered again, "I won't eat this jade cake in the future, you can find a place to deal with it, remember, this matter must be handled in a secret way, don't let anyone see it, especially the little one. hammer!"

"Your Majesty, are you doubting the little hammer?" Aunt Yun is not a fool, if she can't react to Ouyang Pucao's words, then she is not Aunt Yun.

Ouyang Pucao neither denied nor admitted, "I don't know yet, but I will understand when the results come out."

Aunt Yun nodded, "Your Majesty, don't worry, this matter will be taken care of by the servants, and the third person will never find out."

Another three days passed in a flash. During these three days, Little Hammer still delivered jade cakes every day. On the bright side, Ouyang Pucao accepted it happily. On the second day, when Little Hammer came to collect the dishes, the dishes were also They were all empty, but what he didn't know was that most of the jade cakes on this plate were buried in the soil in the backyard, while a small half went into the belly of the rooster.

"Your Majesty, my servant has seen that you have slept less in the past two days, and your complexion has improved a little bit." Aunt Yun said suddenly, looking carefully at Ouyang Pucao's face.

"Really?" In fact, Ouyang Pucao has already noticed the change without Aunt Yun telling her.

"Yes, of course it is. Your Majesty was definitely sleepy after breakfast, but today she is still standing here in good spirits and talking to your servants." Aunt Yun said.

Ouyang Pucao pursed her lips, she was already doubting something in her heart, but she still needed to wait for the result before deciding to act, "Auntie, is that chicken still there?"

"It's being raised! Don't worry, ma'am, the servant will feed the chicken on time every day according to my majesty's instructions!"

What this food is, needless to say, both of them are clear.

"That's good, aunt, let's wait for the results together in half a month."

"Yes, ma'am."

Another day passed, and on this day, Ouyang Pucao came back from a run profusely sweating, with a strange look on his face. Aunt Yun saw it and asked, "Madam, why is your face so weird today, but what happened outside?" baby?"

"Why is it so lively outside today?" Ouyang Pucao asked, early in the morning, the sound of musical instruments could be heard throughout the palace, and even the remote Zhengyang Palace could feel the festive atmosphere.

Ouyang Pucao deliberately went a little farther and ran out of Zhengyang Palace, but was even more surprised when he saw that the whole palace was decorated with lights and festoons, and everyone was wearing new clothes, even the passing ladies and eunuchs. All smiling!
"What day is it today?" Ouyang Pucao asked Aunt Yun.

But Aunt Yun couldn't answer, she looked dumbfounded, "I don't know, I don't know, ma'am, don't worry, I will go out and ask, and I will tell my mother when I come back."

As he said that, he ran out in a hurry.

Their Zhengyang Palace is indeed a bit too far away, not to mention that they only have Aunt Yun as one of them, and when something happens, there will be insufficient manpower.Ouyang Pucao lowered his eyes, thinking about it.

"Ma'am, I found out what's going on!" Aunt Yun ran in with a thin layer of sweat on her nose.

Ouyang Pucao turned to let Aunt Yun come in, and slowly handed her a glass of water, "Take a breath first."

Aunt Yun also knew that she was in a hurry, she was out of breath when she spoke, her face flushed a little, she took a few sips of the water from Ouyang Pucao, and Aunt Yun also got a general understanding of Ouyang Pucao through getting along with her in the past few days At this time, if Aunt Yun insisted on the distinction between master and servant, Ouyang Pucao would most likely get annoyed if she insisted on the distinction between master and servant, so Ouyang Pucao would take a few cups of tea naturally. saliva.

The two of them already have a tacit understanding on these matters.

Aunt Yun slowed down for a while, and then she said what she found out, "Madam, it turns out that today is the national birthday of Fengyin Kingdom!"

"National birthday?"

"En!" Aunt Yun nodded, "Every year, the fifth day of October is designated as the national birthday of Fengyin Kingdom. Tonight, the emperor will hold a banquet in the largest palace, and invite officials of the fifth rank and above and people from the harem. The concubines are attending, the lanterns and the new clothes worn by the servants that the empress saw outside today are all preparing for the state banquet tonight!"

This national birthday sounds a bit like the "National Day" in the previous life, it seems that tonight will be very lively...

Seeing Ouyang Pucao's very interested face, Aunt Yun told all she had just asked, "Madam, this national birthday is not as simple as a group of people celebrating together, and more importantly, the following In three days, the imperial capital will open the slave market, and the annual slave auction will also be held on the second day of the national birthday, and..."

Ouyang Pucao interrupted Aunt Yun, "Slave market, slave auction?" Ouyang Pucao didn't quite understand these two unfamiliar words.

"Oh, ma'am, you may not understand that the slave market in Fengyin Country is the largest market in the Three Kingdoms. At that time, there will be not only slaves from the three big countries in the market, but also many slaves from small feudal kingdoms, bought from the slave market. For slaves, men will engrave the mark of "slave" on their foreheads, while women will engrave it on their chests. The dandies in the imperial city often choose some female slaves from foreign lands in the slave market, and buy them home to play with them. !"

"How good is this slave market?"

"Of course, I have heard people say that there are often some very novel slaves in this slave market, such as some blond girls, which are the most common, and there are some people from remote places with special blood. Werewolves who grew up in a pack of wolves, what kind of blood was born after mating with a human, what kind of race with natural supernatural powers... However, the chances of these slaves appearing in the slave market are relatively small, and most of them are sold in the slave market. You will only see it at the auction, and the auction price at that time will become terrifying!"
