If An Lingrong was reborn before the draft

Inside the Suiyu Pavilion, Zhen Huan sat at the table while Liu Zhu and Jin Xi stood aside. Xiao Yunzi reported to Zhen Huan, "The servants have been guarding outside. Pei Er has been watching the medicine being boiled and no one else has approached."

Huanbi poured out the medicine, blew on it and handed it to Zhen Huan. Zhen Huan took the medicine and smelled it first. There was no difference in the smell. She tasted it again and spat it out immediately. "It must have been drugged." She put the medicine bowl on the table.

Seeing this, Xiao Yunzi immediately stepped forward and took the medicine jar away. Jinxi also bowed and apologized, "It must be our fault. Please forgive me, young master." Liuzhu also bowed and followed Jinxi.

"It's not all your fault. The medicine was put in right under your noses without being discovered, and no one approached the medicine jar in the meantime. There must be something strange about this." After hearing what Zhen Huan said, Xiao Yunzi kept holding the medicine jar and checking if there was any problem with it. Just like Zhen Huan said, no one approached when the medicine was being boiled, so the medicine must have been put in in advance. There was no problem with the prescription, so could it be the problem with the medicine jar?

"Huanbi, pour out all the medicine later, don't let anyone see it." Zhen Huan gestured to Huanbi to pour out the medicine in the bowl. When she looked up, she saw Xiao Yunzi looking through the medicine jar and asked, "What are you looking at?"

"Oh, I think, if someone didn't personally give the drugs, then the only option was to do something to these guys." After saying this, Xiao Yunzi looked at the people present.

"Give it here, let me take a look." Zhen Huan said as she stretched out her hand to take the medicine jar. Xiao Yunzi did not hand it to her directly, but placed the medicine jar on the table. Zhen Huan looked at the medicine jar from left to right and smelled it, but could not see any problem. "There is nothing wrong with it. Don't tell me we are thinking the wrong thing."

She looked back at them and then picked up the lid of the medicine jar and looked inside it. Everyone followed Zhen Huan's gaze and looked inside the medicine jar until Zhen Huan saw the lid. She looked at it and said, "Look, isn't the color of the lid darker than the body of the jar?"

Hearing what Zhen Huan said, Jin Xi took the lid from Zhen Huan's hand and looked around in the light, "Oh, really, if you don't look carefully, you really can't see it." Everyone's eyes also lingered on the lid.

"What's the reason?" Zhen Huan asked puzzledly.

"Could it be that the lid of the medicine jar has been boiled in water with medicine for too long, and the lid has absorbed the water and the medicine, so the color has become darker. Once the young lady's medicine boils, it will touch the lid, and the medicine in the lid will be mixed into the young lady's medicine without anyone noticing." Jin Xi has been in the palace for many years. Although she doesn't know the reason, she immediately realized the trick when she saw the lid.

"What a meticulous effort," Zhen Huan snorted coldly, "No wonder we couldn't find out what it was, it turns out it was prepared long ago." Zhen Huan took a deep breath to calm her anger and continued, "Who usually keeps these things?"

"I originally kept it, but now it is kept by the new palace maid Huasui." Huanbi said.

Zhen Huan thought for a moment and ordered, "Xiao Yunzi, pour out the medicine and put the jar back, don't let anyone get suspicious." Upon hearing the order, Xiao Yunzi immediately stepped forward and picked up the jar. Zhen Huan continued, "Find out more about the origin of Huasui for me."

Xiao Yunzi agreed and quickly retreated.
