76 Chapter 17: Imperial Dr. Yen, Serving Poison (2/2)

Saying that in front of the heavenly person she admired was considerably mean. That was a bit of revenge.

”Well then, please sit down and listen.” Yijun, a diligent man despite his appearance, pulled out a chair for her. And then, Consort Hui sat.

”It's because your meals were switched with Gina-sama's meals. As Gina-sama has no preferences, she usually partakes the same dishes as the emperor.”

And despite this, there were one or two ingredients that were different.

”What you can't eat, is it mackerel and abalone?”

The consort nodded.

Yen didn't miss the agitation of the maid at the back. ”This is something only people who have things they can't eat know. It is an issue before pickiness. You only got hives this time, but it can cause dyspnea and even heart failure sometimes. So, to speak, in a way you can understand, it is the same as serving poison.” The talk of poison elicited a nervous response.

”Hui-sama, it may have been something you couldn't speak out with the atmosphere of the place, but what you did was extremely dangerous.” Yen established that among the consort and the maid who had a dazed look. ”Please never forget that.” She advised that to both parties equally.

”Please relay that to the ones in charge of setting your meals as well,” she said, but it didn't seem to have gone through the heads of the consort and the maid. To the accompanying maid, Yen explained to her the dangers in detail and passed over the methods she wrote down to deal with the case of it happening. The maid was pale-faced, shaking her head feebly, this maid was the food taster woman.

She was a woman who smiled and allowed her consort to consume something that could hurt her.

After Consort Hui withdrew from the room, she noticed the clingy atmosphere behind her and the hand that came to touch her shoulder.

She looked at him coldly as if looking at a dried-up earthworm was preferable. ”I am of humble birth, so can you please not touch me with your hands?” Stop the clinginess, and she told this rascal in a roundabout way.

”Only you would say such things,” Ren said.

”Well then, everyone is paying attention.” She briskly pulled away. With a heartrending sigh, she sought for the refreshing Yijun, but the attendant who was loyal to his master appealed to her with his eyes to ”Please bear with it for me.”

”Well then, I'll go report this to Gina-sama.” She said.

”Why did you especially have the food taster maid come in the same room?” He just suddenly got to the core of things, that's why it was hard for her to escape.

”What are you talking about? I am unable to understand though,” she replied expressionlessly.

”Then, was it a mistake in the table setting?”

”I don't know that either.” She played ignorance to the end.

”Answer this for me at least. The one they were aiming for was the Consort Hui, isn't it?” he asked.

”If there was no poison in the other plates. Then, Yes, that would be the case.”

Seeing Ren deep in thought, she withdrew from the room and sighed deeply as she leaned against the wall.
