Chapter 280: Poisoning

The waiter had just walked to a corner of the alley when he was violently dragged into the alley.

"Yu, Miss Yu, why is it you?!" Seeing clearly who it was, the waiter was so scared that he immediately lowered his head.

Yu Ying'er didn't speak, just darkened her face, snatched the food box from his hand, and then lifted the lid to take a look.

Duck meat porridge, ham and fresh bamboo shoot soup, steamed lamb with milk, sour plum soup... and dessert sticky rice red date cake.

Her face became even worse.

She didn't expect this dead girl to prepare such a rich meal for Su Wanwan, even richer than what they ate at the inn!

She secretly gritted her teeth and took out a medicine packet she had prepared long ago from her lapel. When she opened it, it was full of finely ground white powder.

The waiter watching from the side turned pale instantly.

He recognized what this white powder was.

It was arsenic!

It was highly toxic arsenic!

In the past, the shopkeeper asked him to use arsenic to kill insects in the inn's rooms. This medicine powder only needed to be sprinkled a little bit to poison a large area of mice and insects.

Yu Ying'er didn't hesitate at all and sprinkled some white powder into every dish.

After finishing, she covered the food box and handed the food box back to the waiter.

"Send these meals to the Lady and be sure to urge her to enjoy them well."

The waiter's hands were already trembling uncontrollably. He carried the food box tremblingly, his terrified eyes looking at Yu Ying'er.

Yu Ying'er was not afraid at all. She took a piece of broken gold from her bosom, pressed it lightly into the waiter's hand, and said word by word: "It's best if you forget everything that happened just now. Keep your own mouth shut. I am the future Princess Consort Duan. Once the matter is done, there will be no lack of rewards for you."

The heavy gold fell into his hand, and the waiter's heart also sank. Yu Ying'er's half-threatening and half-warning words made him unable to give birth to any thought of disobedience.

"I, I understand."

Finally, the waiter licked his dry lips and nodded hard.

Out of the alley, he used all his strength to run to the medical hall at the fastest speed.

Unexpectedly, there was no doctor in the medical hall, not even an apprentice.

It was empty and quiet.

The waiter felt inexplicably uneasy.

He groped all the way to the room where the patients rested. The door was half-open, and he poked his head in to take a look.

A beautiful woman was lying on the bed.

His probing action seemed to wake the beautiful woman on the bed.

Su Wanwan opened her eyes, sat up weakly from the bed, and raised her beautiful eyes slowly, looking at the waiter: "Who are you?"

The waiter immediately lowered his head and handed the food box in his hand over properly: "That Miss Yu Ying'er asked me to send these meals to you."

He deliberately only mentioned Yu Ying'er's name.

"Cough, cough." Su Wanwan coughed weakly twice, one hand supporting her slightly protruding belly, while gesturing to the case table beside her, "You can put it there; I'll eat it later."

The waiter put down the food box and left, not even daring to look around.

However, out of the medical hall, whether it was because of nervousness or fear, his heart still couldn't stop beating.

Seeing Su Wanwan's weak appearance supporting her belly just now, he couldn't help but think of his elder sister in his rural hometown.

An elder sister is like a mother; his elder sister took care of him since he was young and was better to him than anyone else, but on the night she gave birth, she left the world forever...

Thinking of this, the waiter couldn't help but redden his eyes slightly.

The next second, as if he had made some decision, he suddenly turned and rushed into the medical hall.

In the room, Su Wanwan, who was happily gnawing on chocolate, and the waiter who suddenly returned, looked at each other.

The air stagnated for a moment.

Su Wanwan reacted quickly, swallowed the chocolate in her mouth, coughed hard a few times, and while supporting her forehead, feigned weakness: "What are you doing back here?"

The waiter rubbed his red eyes and looked at the pale, sick, and beautiful woman in front of him, doubting whether he had seen wrong just now.

"That..." He opened his mouth, but didn't know how to say it.

Hesitating, he suddenly pointed to the food box on the case table and stammered: "That, the food inside is actually rotten; it has been left for several days and cannot be eaten... How about I help you pour it away? I'll buy you another portion."

"No need." Su Wanwan waved her hand in refusal indifferently, "Leave it there; I'll deal with it."

The waiter opened his mouth, feeling that he was too clumsy to express himself clearly.

The shopkeeper in the inn often said he was stupid.

He opened his mouth and emphasized again: "Anyway... the food inside is not good; don't eat it."

After saying this, he seemed to be afraid of something, turned, and left the medical hall.

Su Wanwan hurriedly got up, poked her head out to look out the window, and didn't relax until she saw the waiter's figure go far away.

"Scared me to death. How could that girl send such a stupid person to harm me?"

She frowned and looked at the food box on the case table, but didn't touch it. She turned and sat back on the bed, comfortably finding a position to lean on, and then continued to take out the half-eaten chocolate from her skirt hem.

Hmm, this thing called chocolate is too delicious...

Su Wanwan narrowed her eyes and enjoyed it, then turned and took out a box of exquisitely packaged strawberry chocolate cake from behind the bed, eating it one bite at a time with the small fork inside.

It was simply too delicious!

This was a delicious pastry she had never eaten before!

Su Wanwan was so delicious that she couldn't help but roll a few times on the bed, completely without the weak appearance just now.

She subconsciously touched her face. She didn't know what kind of powder Xiaoxiao's mother had applied to her face, but it was quite easy to use. Not only did it make people look pale and weak, but it wouldn't melt even if she sweated.

At the same time.

Several lurking dark guards silently withdrew, and after a few light-gong falls, they landed in a residence not far from the medical hall.

"Master, the Lady didn't touch those meals and is eating the pastries left by that Lady Jiang."

In the courtyard, the man in gorgeous clothes sat at a rosewood case table, bowing his head and flipping through the thick files and documents piled on the table.

Upon hearing this, he raised a cold face full of fatigue and overwork, frowned, and said: "What about the person who delivered the food."

"He left."

The dark guard briefly described what happened just now.

The man rubbed his forehead tiredly: "Forget it, at least he still has a conscience. Give him some rewards later."

The dark guard nodded and agreed, then looked up at the full old files on his master's table and couldn't help but advise: "Master, the matter of General Shen has long been a foregone conclusion. Why don't you stop interfering..."

"Xiao Wu, have you forgotten my rules." The man raised his head, his low and cold voice carrying unquestionable oppressive force.

The dark guard named Xiao Wu heard this, immediately lowered his head and kept silent, not daring to say another word.
