Ran Xiaoyu hurriedly got up and asked eagerly, "Did you find out? Who is it?"
Ting Fu walked in and said with a complicated expression: "No."
"No?"
Ran Xiaoyu immediately frowned.
Nan Yan also straightened up from the couch: "Didn't find out, or what?"
Ting Fu breathed a sigh of relief, and then said: "The servant went down to inquire, and the deer was not sent by someone, but bought by the kitchen by chance today."
"..."
"Because I thought that winter is coming and I wanted to replenish everyone's body, I happened to meet a fresh deer, so I bought the whole thing."
"..."
"After I bought it, I didn't send it over because my mother's food was arranged in advance. But the emperor saw that there was fresh venison, and thought of my mother, so I specially wished Feng to send some over to my mother."
When everyone heard it, they all fell silent.
Aunt Tongyun breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "If that's the case, then it's not bad."
Nan Yan thought for a while, then said softly, "Well, it's okay."
If it was just bought inadvertently from the kitchen, then what happened today was just a coincidence. Although it was a bit dangerous, it was better than someone secretly harming you.
Nian Qiu also said: "If this is the case, then don't worry too much."
Ran Xiaoyu immediately said: "I can't stop worrying at all. If my aunt hadn't arrived in time today, we wouldn't have known about it, so we just watched my mother eat the food."
"..."
"If something really happens to your mother, it will be our fault."
Everyone nodded.
I couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
Everyone knows the emperor's love for the imperial concubine and empress. If it is really under their noses that the imperial concubine is murdered, then the emperor will definitely destroy their nine clans!
Aunt Tongyun said: "From now on, everyone should be more careful."
Nianqiu thought for a while, and immediately said: "How about, let this maidservant have a taste of what the empress wants to eat from now on."
Nan Yan immediately said: "No."
These people are close to her, and she doesn't want to use them as tools for drug testing.
Aunt Tongyun also said: "This is not appropriate. There are certain things that pregnant women have taboos, but ordinary people may not have them."
"ah?"
"Sometimes, even if you eat a catty, it's okay, but your mother may not be able to eat a bite."
Nianqiu muttered: "I can eat a catty of anything."
Everyone couldn't help laughing.
Aunt Tongyun turned her head to Nan Yan and said, "From now on, no matter what the mother eats, let the servants see it first. The servants practice medicine at home anyway, and understand some pharmacology."
Nan Yan said: "Then, aunt has been working hard these days."
"What kind of hard work is this?"
After all, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Nan Yan still asked them to sit down, roasted and ate the venison, but she couldn't eat it herself, so naturally she just sat and watched.
However, her mind did not stop.
When everyone was happily eating barbecue, Nan Yan suddenly said: "Ting Fu, when you went to the kitchen to ask, did you ask about buying? Are there venison sellers on the street every day?"
When Ting Fu heard it, he immediately said: "This slave also asked, and Cai Mai said that it doesn't happen every day."
"oh?"
"He seems to see it every once in a while."
"..."
"But before, he didn't buy it because the weather was still warm. But recently, the weather got colder, and the deer was really fresh today, so he bought it."
Nan Yan listened and nodded slightly.
After hearing what Fu said, he lowered his head again and started to eat with big mouthfuls.
Nan Yan got off the couch slowly, walked outside the door, under the eaves, saw the sky outside, which was faintly gray.
The wind was bitter.
Her fur was thick, but she was not afraid of the cold wind, it just wrapped her clothes a little tighter.
After eating for a while, Ran Xiaoyu realized that Nan Yan was no longer in the room, so she also came out and walked to Nan Yan's side.
"Ma'am, what's the matter?"
Nan Yan shook her head: "It's nothing."
But the slightly dignified expression on her face was obviously not the case. Ran Xiaoyu said: "Madam, are you still worried that this incident is not a coincidence, but someone did it on purpose?"
"Um."
"why?"
Nan Yandao: "The main messenger behind the scenes knows my eating habits, so he can almost judge when that dish will appear on my table, and as long as he prepares it in advance, he will go to the market to sell it on this day Fresh venison."
"..."
"That's why, you don't see venison every day when you buy it, but you only see it once in a while."
"..."
"This man is very patient. Not once, twice, twice, three times."
"..."
"And recently, the weather has been cold, and it is very common for rich families to eat venison warming in winter."
"..."
"Just once, the kitchen procurer buys his venison, and his plan works."
Nan Yan took a deep breath and said, "This person may be someone from the mansion, or maybe he has connections with people from the mansion, so he can inquire about some things; moreover, he considers things very rigorously and acts very carefully. Be patient and not rush at all.”
"..."
"This time, if Aunt Tongyun didn't see it, it would have been an accident."
Hearing this, Ran Xiaoyu gasped.
Indeed, if someone is really doing it, then this person is terrible.
He used "deliberately" again and again to form an "accident."
Even if something really happened, from the waiters, to the cooks in the kitchen, to the purchasers, and even—His Majesty the Emperor himself, everyone did what they should do normally.
Ran Xiaoyu couldn't help but said, "This is simply unimaginable."
Nan Yan also nodded.
If it was really just an accident, then that's all.
But if, as she guessed, someone did it on purpose, then this person is really terrifying.
Ran Xiaoyu lowered her voice and said, "Then, who is it?"
"..."
"Is it Concubine Kang? Or Concubine Ning?"
Nan Yan shook her head: "This person's mind is secret, there is no flaw at all, and I can't judge it."
"But, you can't sit still. What if she wants to do something to your mother next time?"
"..."
"Your Majesty, no matter what, we must find a way to find this person!"
Nan Yan frowned and thought for a while, then said, "Xiaoyu, go in and see how much of that piece of venison is left."
"What?"
Ran Xiaoyu froze for a moment, for some reason, she suddenly became concerned about that piece of venison again.
Nan Yan said: "Tell everyone, just eat two more yuan, and keep the rest."
"..."
"Tonight, I have a treat."
