Lady of the Lord From the East - Chapter 177

Not to mention Wei Wei, even the general manager who has followed the king all the year round was taken aback by his appearance at this time.

But fortunately, the king still remembered that he couldn’t get angry casually now, he let out a heavy breathing sound, one by one, to suppress the monstrous anger in his heart.

But for a moment, he seemed to have calmed down, but the slightly rapid breathing and those eyes still revealed his inner unease.

And this sigh obviously drained the king’s little energy. The body that was sitting upright because of anger fell back, but fortunately there was a pillow behind him. This time it looked scary, but it didn’t matter. .

The manager carefully stepped forward to follow his breath, and Wei Wei couldn’t help but say, “Your Majesty, your health is important.”

The king waved his hand: “I’m fine.”

Because of his illness, he looked much older than before, and his red hair was unknowingly mixed with a little white hair, and he looked like a sick old man.

Wei Wei stepped forward to give him a pulse, and found that although the king’s mood had changed too much between happiness and anger just now, it actually boosted his vitality. After this, his situation improved a little bit.

It is also a blessing in disguise.

Wei Wei warned: “Although there is no serious problem, please control your emotions.”

Having heard the worst news, the king can really calm down and think about it now.

Of course, if Wei Wei just said that Edward was not saved, the king might not be able to be so calm at this moment. Now that there is a turning point, it is impossible for the king to let himself fall at this time.

He recalled the time when Edward’s old disease relapsed, and suddenly said, “Who do you think poisoned us?”

At first Wei Wei thought that the king was asking the steward, so she didn’t answer, but after waiting for a while, the steward didn’t speak, and the king was still looking at her, so she realized, “Is your majesty asking me?”

“Ok.”

Although he didn’t know why he suddenly asked herself, Wei Wei thought about it and honestly told her guess: “I think it might be the queen.”

“Queen?” Although the king said a question, his expression did not seem to be surprised by the answer.

Wei Wei did not miss his strange performance, and said firmly: “Isn’t Your Majesty also doubting the Queen?”

Indeed, the king is also doubting Mirabelle. He really never thought of doubting his bedside person before. After all, the queen is his wife, and they stand together naturally, and Mirabelle has no children. The two princes I hate her again, the king is down, and Mirabelle’s life will be very difficult.

As for her conspiracy with the Duke of Romanov, the king thinks it is even more impossible, because just like the rumors, the death of Mirabelle’s ex-husband and the heir of the Duke who took office is indeed inseparable from the current Duke of Romanov. It can be said that , It was Duke Romanov who ruined Mirabelle’s dream of being a duchess, and directly deprived her of her qualifications to become the next queen, forcing her to seduce the king and become his successor.

Although she is also the queen now, the two are completely different, so everyone knows that Mirabelle and Duke Romanov are going to die. idea.

Therefore, after suspecting that Duke Romanov had poisoned himself, the king never doubted Queen Mirabelle.

But Mirabelle was probably a little anxious after finding out that he was not in a coma. Last night and today, she did some actions that made people think more.

When Crown Prince Edward went to see Wei Wei, the steward took the queen to the kitchen and told him that he wanted to bring soup to the king. The king was not stupid. Hard to remember.

It’s just that he didn’t expect that she would be involved in Edward’s affairs!

It was just an assumption made by himself in the past, but the crown prince was really poisoned. Can the king not be angry?

He was angry and regretful, regretting that he had married this woman.

Even Wei Wei wanted to know that if it was Mila Belle’s poison, it should have been her own idea to poison Crown Prince Edward in the first place.

At that time, Mirabelle couldn’t have imagined that she would never be pregnant, so she started with the crown prince, which should be paving the way for her future children. After all, the king already has two sons, and the crown prince has always been very important to him. If the crown prince’s body also recovers, then the child born after her will naturally be even less likely to sit in that position.

In addition, the relationship between the two princes and her was irreversible, and Mila Belle, who had a bad temper, had to deal with it once and for all.

And the reason why he stopped after only one dose of poison was probably because that little poison caused the crown prince’s illness. The imperial doctor said that he might not live to be twenty years old, so the queen naturally didn’t need to continue poisoning. .

At that time, the Duke of Romanov was still fighting in the military camp to inherit the position of the Duke. While trying to accumulate merits, he also had to deal with the calculations of other brothers who might **** the title of Duke with him. Naturally, there is no chance or ability to move the crown prince.

So it is impossible for the crown prince to do it.

Knowing that the king was also suspicious of the queen, Wei Wei told him what she had found: “Although the queen heard you wake up, although it was only for a moment, she did show an unexpected expression, obviously she originally I knew you should be in a coma.”

And the only one who can grasp the time so accurately is the poisoner himself.

Wei Wei guessed that this kind of secret medicine that the imperial physicians could not detect was probably brought by Mila Belle from her country. If it doesn’t come out, it should be speculated in this regard.

The king asked Wei Wei’s opinion, probably because there were too many messages received today, and some indigestion, he quickly showed tiredness and let Wei Wei leave.

Before leaving, Wei Wei took the chief manager to the side, gave him the crown prince’s fasting list, and asked him again before leaving.

Behind him, the king, who thought he had fallen asleep, asked in an old and tired voice: “Madam, Edward will ask you.”

“Of course, I’ll try my best.”

In the evening, Karma, who left the palace with the imperial doctor, finally came back. They brought back all the missing medicinal herbs. Many of the herbs planted around the church in the suburbs happened to be suitable for use, and some were not planted. The clergy bought it.

Because the sky was over when they came back, Karma and the imperial doctor made an appointment to pack up the herbs together tomorrow, so they went back first to return to life like Wei Wei.

When she came back, Wei Wei was scrutinizing the prescription for the crown prince.

The crown prince is different from the king. His body is weaker than the king, and the poison has been too long. The poison has been attached to his body like gangrene. It is very troublesome to detoxify. Not for him, she had to think again.

“I will also go to the imperial doctor tomorrow. I need to see what medicinal materials are available in his pharmacy.”

This is not difficult. The imperial doctor’s residence is very remote, and there is usually no one to communicate with. Early in the morning, before the sun rises, the manager took Wei Wei and Karma, who were wearing black cloaks, down the secret passage, and easily bypassed them. He took all the guards and sent them to the doctor’s pharmacy.

Wei Wei only stayed here for a while. After she wrote down all the medicinal materials collected by the imperial doctor with a good memory, she left Karma and the imperial doctor to deal with the medicinal materials, and hurried back with the chief manager – if you don’t leave, Anthony wakes up If you can’t see her, it will be troublesome.

She got stuck at the right time, and as soon as she came back, she saw Anthony rubbing his eyes and getting up from the bed sleepily.

Unbuttoning the cloak and giving it to Penny, Wei Wei stepped forward and took his little hand away: “Baby, didn’t you agree not to rub your eyes with your hands?”

As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw his mother’s Anthony showing a sweet smile, and then softly called out, “Mummy.”

It was rare to hear him call so accurately, Wei Wei couldn’t help but pick up her son and kiss her: “My dear, call again.”

“Mommy!”

The laughing little guy called out again, louder than before.

The mother and son played happily for a while and you asked me to answer, which was not childish at all, but the maids had to remind the master that it was time for breakfast.

Wei Wei hasn’t weaned Anthony yet, so she breastfeeds him first, and then waits for him to burp before she has time to enjoy her own breakfast.

Compared with yesterday, her breakfast treatment is better, even a few maids have risen, and they have breakfast to eat, otherwise they have to have only two meals a day like other people in the palace.

After all, at this time, no matter whether they are nobles or ordinary people, they only have two meals a day. If Wei Wei hadn’t mentioned it to the general manager yesterday, the couple would not be able to eat breakfast.

On the other side, Prince Edward, who had never eaten breakfast, was also called by the servant.

“The manager said that from today onwards, you need to eat three meals a day.” Although it was very strange why the manager suddenly ordered this, the servant still brought the food as instructed.

Prince Edward, who usually hasn’t woken up at this time, yawned and looked at the food delivered to him, and found that it was a bowl of rice porridge just like yesterday, but upon closer inspection, it seemed that pieces of garlic were added to the porridge. The white thing, which makes Prince Edward unacceptable, he does not like the smell of garlic.

The servant who knew the crown prince’s preferences immediately said: “Don’t worry, Your Highness, the servant who delivered the meal said this is lily porridge, and the bulbs inside are lily bulbs, not garlic.”

The crown prince took a spoonful and smelled it, but he really didn’t smell the garlic, so he put it into his mouth suspiciously.

Unlike the porridge I ate at the king yesterday, this time the lily porridge has added sugar and the aroma of lily bulbs, so it tastes fragrant and sweet, and for Prince Edward, who also likes sweetness, even if there is no other Side dishes, he can also accept.

As he ate, he asked the servant, “Did he have someone bring medicine?”

“Medicine? The manager didn’t ask anyone to bring the medicine, but he said that you need to go to the garden twice after breakfast. This is also sent by the manager.”

The servant brought over a white mask made of several layers of fabric, still a little puzzled and disagreed: “This looks a bit strange, the servant who brought it told you to tie this to your face when you go out and cover it Mouth and nose, won’t this make you short of breath?”

Everyone knows that His Royal Highness has asthma, so the servants around him always pay special attention to his breathing problems.

“This is a mask.” Edward recalled what Wei Wei said yesterday: “This will prevent me from breathing pollen when I go out – is there nothing else besides this?”

“there is none left.”

Strange, he thought he was going to start taking medicine today.

But since it wasn’t delivered, of course it’s best if you don’t drink it.

The crown prince slowly finished the bowl of lily porridge, let alone a bowl of porridge early in the morning, he felt that his stomach was warm and he felt much more comfortable than usual.

After breakfast, Crown Prince Edward took the mask, studied it, and put it on. Because it was stitched with fabric, it did feel a little uncomfortable, but it did not hinder breathing as the servants worried.

Prepared, Prince Edward went out the door, ready to go for a walk.

“Good morning, His Royal Highness.”

As soon as the door was opened, a group of maids were standing outside with tools.

“Good morning.” The crown prince replied, looking at the maids in surprise: “What are you doing here?”

The head maid raised her head and glanced at him, and replied, “The chief said that your room needs to be cleaned again, so he sent us here.”

The maids are also aggrieved. They feel that their usual work is very conscientious and responsible, and it is a little dusty, but obviously the manager does not think so. Yesterday afternoon, they let them wash and dry a new batch of bedding sheets and other supplies, and let the crown prince replace them today. , and asked them to clean the crown prince’s room again, take out all the clothes, wash the things that can’t be washed and take them to the sun, regardless of whether some clothes are not suitable for the sun.

The maid remembered what the steward said at the time – “Don’t wear clothes that will be damaged in the sun, and prepare clothes for him that can be washed and dried. Now that it’s summer, cotton and linen are suitable.”

The maid who heard this at the time asked him, what should the crown prince wear in winter? The steward seemed confused too, but asked them to do so anyway, saying that winter matters would be discussed later, and hurried away.

Prince Edward, who didn’t know that his wardrobe was about to suffer, knew what was going on as soon as he heard that the director said it. He nodded, let them go out, and continued to the garden by himself.

Because the crown prince can’t touch the pollen, the flowering plants in the king’s garden are almost invisible, and the remaining ones are planted in the area where the crown prince will not approach as much as possible, and are isolated by trees, so the crown prince wants to take a walk, but don’t worry about running out of place You can go, and he is wearing a mask today.

When the crown prince was walking, the general manager also asked Wei Wei for advice on clothes.

Wei Wei heard it and felt that he was making a big fuss, but thinking about it carefully, it was indeed a problem.

At this time, there is no dry cleaning agent, and only soap is used for laundry, and soap damages fabrics a lot, and exposure to the sun can easily make fabrics fade, so many times, those precious clothes are not washed unless they are washed – they I don’t take a bath anymore. I just need to keep my clothes free of stains and use incense to get rid of the smell. Basically, the inner lining needs to be cleaned. Therefore, no one can say how much bacterial dust is on these clothes. clear.

For patients, it is best not to wear such clothes.

However, as the crown prince, it is impossible for him not to wear those expensive clothes, and in winter, because of the weather, he must also wear heavy clothes to keep out the cold, and generally such clothes are basically not washed once a winter.

But it’s impossible for him to wear it once and then don’t want it. At this time, the noble clothes are inlaid with gold and gems. Even the crown prince can’t be so extravagant.

Wei Wei also had a headache when she was asked. She really didn’t care about this issue, but it seems that her winter clothes are cleaned regularly, right?

So Wei Wei handed the question to Penny.

“How do you wash Madam’s winter clothes?” Penny was stunned. She didn’t know that washing clothes was not her job, so she could only say, “It seems like ordinary washing, right?”

It was the little maid named Susan who interjected timidly: “The style of Madam’s clothes is very simple, and many fabrics seem to be not afraid of water, and they are easy to wash. In addition, we use it when we do laundry. It is laundry detergent, and the damage to clothes is relatively small, so many clothes that are inconvenient to wash can be cleaned very cleanly.”

After being selected by Wei Wei, these little maids did not immediately work with her. Besides participating in training, they would also learn from other maids. Susan had worked with the maids in charge of washing clothes for a while before. , so she is more aware of this.

Hearing her talk about laundry detergent, Wei Wei remembered it. When she was making soap, she seemed to have tried laundry detergent. The laundry detergent is still different, but after she invited the alchemists, she seemed to have given them the method of making the laundry detergent and some other things, but the alchemists didn’t seem to be very interested in the laundry detergent. After choosing other things to study, she thought that there would be no more details on this matter.

I didn’t expect that it was already made, but why didn’t she know?

Penny also remembered: “It seems to be made by the apprentices of the alchemist, just when you were pregnant, Madam.”

Because at that time, everyone was nervous about Wei Wei’s stomach, and if she didn’t disturb her, she wouldn’t bother, and the things were made by apprentices, so everyone didn’t take it seriously, except for the maids who washed the clothes for a while, but they didn’t cause any reaction.

However, although this thing is inconspicuous, it is also a daily necessities. Since Wei Wei knows it, it is impossible to use it anyway, so she said to the main channel: “If you need, I can write to Satinson and ask them to deliver it. Come here, oh yes, about clothes, you can ask our tailor-made tailor, who has a lot of fabrics and clothes that are very suitable for His Royal Highness.”

Things used by the royal family can easily become trendy, so she was advertising herself and the old tailor.

The next time you buy fabric, you should be able to get a better price.

“Then trouble you.”

The matter was resolved, and the manager remembered one more thing: “I don’t know when the medicine for His Royal Highness will be delivered to him?”

“He doesn’t drink medicine for the time being.” Wei Wei hasn’t figured out the prescription yet: “Let’s eat and nourish for a while, let’s take care of the body, let’s talk about it, the lily porridge in the morning has been delivered, right?”

Lily porridge was made by Wei Wei after seeing lily bulbs used as medicinal herbs in the imperial doctor’s pharmacy, and gave it to the manager to make it for the crown prince.

The manager nodded: “It has been delivered, but what is the food supplement?”

“A silk country’s saying, we use the nutritional effect of food combined with the patient’s physical condition to achieve the effect of strengthening the body by supplementing the corresponding food. Prince Edward has taken medicine for so many years, and there are many residual medicines in the body. Cleared it out, and before detoxification, he needs to recuperate his body, so his current situation is very suitable for food supplements, wait for me to write you a list, you take it to the chef, let him do as written, Materials should be available.”

This is just a simple food that is beneficial to the body. When Wei Wei has determined a good prescription and found all the medicinal materials, she intends to give Crown Prince Edward an authentic medicinal diet, which is a two-pronged approach.

The manager went to the kitchen with Wei Wei’s list of the food that the crown prince would eat for the next week, but after discussing it with the chef for a long time, Queen Mirabelle came again.

As soon as she saw the general manager, she directly asked him how things went yesterday: “Can I see your majesty?”

The steward shook his head: “Your Majesty said that he doesn’t want to see anyone yet, but His Majesty said that he misses the food you made, so Her Royal Highness can send the prepared soup over there.”

Originally heard that the king still refused to see her, Mirabelle was about to get angry again, but after hearing the words behind the manager, she laughed: “Does your majesty really say that? He likes the food I make?”

The general manager nodded: “Yes, His Majesty really said so.”

In fact, Queen Mirabelle was born as a princess. She didn’t do any housework at all. Even if she learned how to cook, her skills were very ordinary. If she didn’t want to know if she was the troublemaker, the king wouldn’t want to eat what she made.

However, she was quite confident herself, and when she heard that His Majesty liked it, she became proud: “That’s fine, I’ll prepare it now, and give it to His Majesty during lunch.”

The queen turned around and went back to change a set of clothes, then went back to the kitchen, took a place directly, and started to make soup for the king.

She said that she did it, but the ingredients needed were cleaned by the servants and cut by the chef. She just put these processed things into the pot and boiled it.

In the name of discussing the menu with the chef, the manager calmly watched from the beginning to the end. During the whole process, he did not find any abnormality in the queen, and in the public eye, she did not have the chance to poison.

Maybe not poisoned this time?

The steward thought so, and at the end took the soup prepared by the queen and sent it to the king.

“Your Majesty, Her Royal Highness made this with her own hands.” He put down the bowl of thick soup and said, “I’ve been staring at it from beginning to end, she shouldn’t have a chance to start.”

The king, who was eating another prepared lunch, nodded, stared at the soup for a while, and said, “Go and invite the countess over.”

Although there is no chance to do it, the inspection has to be checked.

Wei Wei was invited again. She put a little thick soup in a small bowl, smelled it, put it in her mouth and tasted it. After a while, she spit out the soup in her mouth.

After taking the prepared warm water and rinsing his mouth, Wei Wei nodded to the king: “Although I don’t know what it is, there is indeed something in it.”

The king bent the silver spoon in his hand.
