Chapter 595 - 595 Discovery
Mingyu was having her meal with Gu Wanning. The two of them were talking and laughing, and it was a harmonious scene.
Zhou Ying took a bird’s-eye view of the entire residence.
Finally, her gaze landed on Qiao Lanlan, who was busy making soup in the kitchen.
She thought Qiao Lanlan looked familiar, but she couldn’t recognize her because she was obviously fatter than before.
Just as she was about to look away, she suddenly saw Qiao Lanlan sneakily take out a packet of powder from her waist and pour it into the soup.
After mixing it well, she ladled the soup into a bowl and turned around to shout, “Sister Qingtao, the sea cucumber and chicken soup is ready.”
Qingtao immediately walked in and picked up the bowl. “Thank you, Sister Lan.”
She turned around and rushed forward with the food tray.
Just as Zhou Ying was about to follow up, she suddenly saw Qiao Lanlan’s sinister smile. However, it quickly disappeared, and Qiao Lanlan got busy again.
“Could she be the spy King Kang buried in King Rui’s residence?” Zhou Ying muttered.
After memorizing her appearance, she chased after Qingtao.
She happened to see her walking into the main courtyard.
In the main courtyard, besides Sun Miaoke, there were also the Empress Dowager, Consort Xian, and a few elders from the royal family.
“Who is she trying to harm?” Zhou Ying couldn’t understand her target, and she couldn’t be bothered to.
Just as Qingtao entered the room, Zhou Ying deliberately poked her leg with her divine sense.
Qingtao tripped on the door sill and dropped the food tray in her hand to the ground, spilling the chicken and sea cucumber soup on the ground.
Qingtao was so frightened that her face immediately turned pale. She immediately knelt and said, “Mistress, please punish me.”
Sun Miaoke was about to speak when the Empress Dowager near the entrance stopped her and said, “Alright, hurry up and clean it up.”
The Empress Dowager saw clearly that Qingtao tripped because she couldn’t raise her leg over the door sill. Therefore, the Empress Dowager assumed Qingtao was too tired and chose not to make a scene on this auspicious day.
After Qingtao finished cleaning up and threw the broken bowl into the trash, Zhou Ying took some soup into her interspace.
She stared at them for a while more. After making sure that Qiao Lanlan did not strike again, she retreated.
After entering her interspace at night, Zhou Ying briefly explained what happened and handed the samples to Gu Chengrui. “Rui, do a test and see what that powder was.”
“Alright, leave it to me. However, you have to feed those livestock on the grasslands.”
“No problem.” Zhou Ying agreed and turned around, heading to the grassland to get busy.
After she was done, she picked out the ones ready for slaughter and rushed to the foot of the mountain. She butchered them and stored the meat in her warehouse.
She left a fat goose behind and brought it into the villa to make a stew.
As soon as the stew was ready, Gu Chengrui walked down with a tired expression and asked, “It smells so good. What delicious food did you make this time?”
“I made a goose stew. Let’s eat a bowl before sleeping.” Zhou Ying looked at the list in his hand and asked curiously, “Did you find anything?”
“Yeah. It’s just contraceptive medicine, but in powder form.”
“Just contraceptive medicine?”
“Yes, I suspect that Sun Miaoke has been drinking this all this time. Otherwise, why hasn’t there been news of pregnancy since the two of them are healthy?” “Really?”
“Yes, having children is also a very important thing in the competition for the throne.”
“That’s true. It seems like King Kang is trying to cut King Rui’s line to the throne.”
“Yeah. Now that Wanning has entered his residence, I’m afraid there will be big movements soon.. How should we remind King Rui?”
