Lady of the Lord From the East - Chapter 170

The queen’s master bedroom, even if no one has lived in it for many years, is still clean and spotless.

Wei Wei followed the manager to this side and glanced at the furnishings in the room. She could see that someone used to live here, and many things were kept as they were before the owner left, but she had also heard that Milabe Even when the queen was first married to the king, she never lived here for even a day.

This is the residence of the former queen. From the time when the former queen married the king, until she was terminally ill, the king never let her move out of here. Whether she just married into the royal family or fell out of favor and regained her favor, every time she made this request, the king refused.

The reason why Wei Wei knew this was not because she specifically asked, but that Countess Nelson, who had always been at odds with Mirabel, told her, and Countess Nelson had always used this to mock Mirabel. Son, I always say that she is not the real mistress of the palace, because everyone knows that the mistress should live in the master bedroom, no matter how bad her relationship with her husband is, she should live there.

Every time she said that, Mila Belle’s liver hurt, but she couldn’t do anything about it.

Of course, whether the king really loves his ex-queen or not, Wei Wei thinks it is not. Although the ex-queen has always enjoyed the treatment that the queen should have, she has the right to live in the master bedroom since she got married, but this does not hinder her husband. Like other nobles, keep mistresses.

The so-called female master bedroom that belongs to the former queen is just a lie used by the king to deceive himself and make his conscience better.

Without looking at the furnishings, Wei Wei looked at the fireplace in the room. There was no ashes in it, but there was an iron chain on it that could hang the pot, just right for it.

Wei Wei asked the manager to bring a clay pot.

“Please call in my husband and maid, they have the right herbs and can help me too.”

Originally, the female master bedroom should not let people come in casually, but the situation is special. Now only Wei Wei said that he can save the king, and the general manager naturally depends on her for everything.

He went out, and after a while Felix and some of the maids were let in.

The maids obviously knew what they were called in. Several people put the medicine boxes they brought together and opened them to reveal the processed medicinal materials inside.

Karma added: “If I’m missing something, I can go outside and look for it.”

Wei Wei waved her hand: “No, I have everything I need here.”

Before she set off, she scoured all the medicinal materials in the entire pharmacy, so all the medicinal materials she needed could be found.

But the weight is probably not enough for the king to use all the time.

After she finished speaking, she sat down, picked up a pen and paper to write the prescription, and reported the name of the medicine while writing. When Karma heard it, she squatted down and found the medicine she wanted in the medicine box. After weighing it, she moved quickly and accurately. It was almost Wei Wei who said that she found the corresponding medicinal materials on her side. When Wei Wei finished writing the formula, she also found all the medicinal materials, and even the weight was just right. Got the astonished glances of the other maids.

They prepared the medicine here, and the manager came back at about the same time. He was surprised when he saw the herbs that had been picked out and piled together. He probably didn’t expect to use so many kinds of medicines to treat the king’s illness. Herbs bar.

But this also gave him more confidence in Wei Wei’s medical skills.

The servant who came in with the wood quickly made a fire, and the pot filled with water and herbs was also set up. After finishing his work, the servant left with a wink.

Originally, it was best to soak the medicinal herbs for a period of time before boiling, so as to maximize the efficacy of the medicinal materials, but now the king is in critical condition, and the sooner he wakes up, the better. .

After asking the time for the medicinal materials to be boiled and knowing that it would take at least an hour, the manager decided to prepare some food for the guests first.

“I’m really sorry. Because of His Majesty’s illness, no banquets are allowed in the palace. The princes and queens dine in their respective residences, so please allow me to bring food here.”

After he finished speaking, he looked at Karma, who was watching the fire and boiled the medicine by the fireplace, and the other maids, and began to think about where to arrange these maids for dinner. If the Earl Williams and his wife did not enter the palace secretly, these maids could be with others. Dine together, but now if there are new faces in the palace, it will be too easy to be discovered.

However, if they were to dine with the master, the chief was worried that the count and his wife would be angry.

“It doesn’t matter, you have brought all our food here. We’d better not leave here until the medicine is ready.”

Hearing this, the general manager recalled what Wei Wei had said before, his eyes became sharp and gloomy, as if he was thinking about how to execute the poisoned person.

He quickly left the room again to prepare food for them, and seeing how the other party left so easily, Wei Wei confirmed again that the king’s feelings for the former queen were indeed fake.

If he really cared about the queen that much, the steward wouldn’t have offered it when she said she needed a room with a fireplace, and wouldn’t have allowed them to dine in the room with the maids, at the very least, they should have gone to other room to go.

Suppressing these thoughts, after there was no outsider, Wei Wei whispered to Felix what was going on with the king.

“Is it really poisoned?” Felix was very surprised. Although he had some doubts after hearing Wei Wei’s speculation before, but after confirming it, he was still shocked.

The maids who heard them talking were no exception. Except for Kama, who was vaguely prepared when she was dispensing the medicine, all the other maids took a deep breath. I couldn’t believe that someone really had the audacity to attack the king.

“But who would do that?”

The couple invariably thought of one person – Duke Romanov.

Wei Wei: “It doesn’t have to be him.”

Felix nodded: “But he is indeed the most likely candidate.”

Wei Wei hesitated for a moment, then asked in a low voice, “Do you think there will be other conspirators?”

Felix was taken aback: “Why do you ask that?”

Wei Wei said uncertainly: “The king and Duke Romanov are in the same boat, and they must be on guard against each other. Even if it is really him, it should be impossible for him to do it himself, so he should have a helper, right?”

Felix: “Isn’t it possible that he bribed the waiter by the king’s side? I think it’s more likely.”

Wei Wei shook his head: “When the manager asked me just now, I didn’t tell him that the king’s poison was given a long time ago, but the last time he had given the medicine should have been about a month ago. Looking at his pulse, the king should be there. Bedridden soon after.”

She paused for a moment and sorted out her thoughts: “When I checked his pulse, I found that although he was unconscious and his condition looked bad, it was only a superficial sign and his vitality was not broken, so the treatment was not troublesome, but if During the month he was in bed, if someone poisoned him again, he couldn’t wait for me to come.”

Even a chronic poison will kill people quickly after the dose is increased to a certain level. The king is now in a coma. If he died during this period, it would have been impossible to find out that he was not actually sick but poisoned. It seems that it is normal.

And since he has reached the current situation, the poisoner should hope that he will die soon, otherwise, if it drags on for another day, the poisoner will be worried for a day.

Wei Wei: “I asked the chief steward, she said that the king cleaned up all the people around him a month ago, and the only people who can serve him closely are the steward and a few other servants, and these people used to be the king’s Confidants, in fact, they were also responsible for the daily life of the former king.”

Since the servants who can get close to the king are those from the beginning to the end, and no one has done it in the past month, Wei Wei feels that the suspicion of these people should be ruled out.

Felix said: “Can’t be so sure, maybe they were worried about exposure, so they didn’t start again?”

Wei Wei asked back: “Do you think that with Duke Romanov’s character, he would care about this undercover exposure?”

No, the king is dead, let’s expose it. Duke Romanov’s coveted throne has never been hidden. He blatantly went against the king, so he almost didn’t start a war directly. Moreover, the duke is very selfish. It was he who bribed the servant to start, and he did not care about the safety of the servant at all. Even if it was coercion, he would use the fastest time to make the king die to avoid future troubles.

That’s why Wei Wei felt that it wasn’t the servants beside the king who were bribed, but other people with a little identity.

For example, the noble ladies who once lived in the palace, such as the king’s mistress, and another example – Queen Mirabelle.

As soon as she said this guess, the whole hostess bedroom was silent except for the “crackling” sound when the wood was burning.

Even Felix was silent for a while before asking, “Why do you think the queen might attack?”

Wei Wei pointed to her head: “Intuition.”

This answer made Felix laugh with laughter.

He just wanted to say something when he heard Wei Wei continue: “Of course, it’s also an intuition based on facts.”

Felix sat upright: “How do you say?”

“You know, Countess Nelson and I have been in correspondence.”

Felix nodded. He knew this very well. It was hard to imagine that Countess Nelson, who was more than ten years younger and arrogant and difficult to get along with, would become friends in the social circle with Wei Wei. Not much, but that didn’t stop the two women from regularly writing letters and sharing various things, and because of their friendship, Felix and Earl Nelson became good partners.

Wei Wei continued: “Countess Nelson and Queen Mirabell have always been at odds with each other, so every time she writes to me, she will talk about the Queen’s affairs, probably last year, when the King made a new love again, I ignored the queen, and heard from Countess Nelson that the maid next to the queen said that the queen was very dissatisfied with the king’s behavior, not only smashed her bedroom, but also cursed him.”

Of course, the news was a secret, and Countess Nelson knew it because she had bought the maid.

According to the maid, Queen Mirabelle’s expression at the time looked very scary. Although the queen seemed to return to her normal appearance after the incident and tried her best to invite her favor, the maid always felt that when the queen cursed the king, it was not because Angry and casual.
