Chapter 1075: Chapter 1075 Abdominal Pain_1 Chapter 1075: Chapter 1075 Abdominal Pain_1 The Braised Pork Trotters, though tender and chewy, were bitterly flavored, as if chewing on Chinese goldthread.
She pursed her lips, swallowed the pork trotters in her mouth, and finished the dish with a smile on her face.
After tasting a few bites of the other dishes, she frowned slightly, covered her stomach with her hand, and then her face suddenly scrunched up in pain, unable to hold back a cry of pain, “Ah—!”
Her appearance imdiately caught the attention of the others. Feng Huihui was sitting right beside her and imdiately put down her chopsticks, stood up, and supported her, “Mother, what’s wrong?!”
“My stomach, my stomach is cramping…” Yao Xian clutched her stomach, her face contorted in agony, weakly leaning on Feng Huihui as beads of sweat ford on her forehead.
Seeing this, Yang Hao also quickly stood up, “Quick, summon the Imperial Doctor!”
Yang Wenxiao suddenly stood up, his face terribly grim. He swept his gaze across Emperor Yongan, Yang Zheng, and Feng Huihui, seeing that these three were all right, he then focused his attention on Yao Xian. “Why the sudden stomach pain?”
Could it be the onset of poisoning…
He had the Imperial Doctor check everyone’s health every three days, and Yao Xian had just been checked yesterday—all was normal. Now a sudden onset of poisoning, could this an that Emperor Yongan and the others are also close to being affected?
At this thought, he no longer waited for Yao Xian’s response and imdiately thought to call for Ren Zhong.
A sudden onset of poisoning was a sign that the enemy was about to strike.
The Imperial Guards must be called into Capital City, initiate martial law throughout the city—the situation is urgent and could not be delayed!
Just then, Yao Xian, clutching her stomach, moaned in pain, “I don’t know, it just suddenly started hurting, could it be sothing unclean that I ate?”
Hearing this, Yang Hao’s heart skipped a beat. Recalling Yao Xian’s hysterical appearance just earlier, he imdiately said, “Unclean? Mother, what have you eaten today?”
“I had a bowl of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall earlier, and I took a few bites of the dishes on this table,” Yao Xian answered weakly.
Hmm?
Yang Wenxiao, who was already on his way out, heard this and imdiately looked towards the dishes laid out on the table. “Is it because of these dishes that you have a stomach ache?”
“Yes… I was fine before…” Yao Xian said, squinting her eyes in pain under Yang Wenxiao’s scrutinizing gaze.
“Mother, all of us ate from this table and we’re all fine. It must be so illness with yourself,” Yang Hao spoke before Yang Wenxiao could.
He was pointing the finger at Qiao Xiaomai, his mother indeed couldn’t wait to make her move.
But Qiao Xiaomai was innocent, the problem was with his mother, and the real enemy hid in unseen places.
With this in mind, he imdiately said, “Mother, we should take you back to Yuexian Palace first.”
“To what Yuexian Palace? The Imperial dical Clinic is the closest to Da’an Palace, we should check here.” Yang Wenxiao turned back, pointed at the palace maids behind Yao Xian, and ordered, “Assist the Empress to the side hall to rest.”
The two palace maids complied, imdiately stepped forward, and together with Feng Huihui, helped Yao Xian towards the side hall.
Seeing this, Emperor Yongan couldn’t help but speak up, “Father, the Empress said there is sothing wrong with the food. Why not call for Qiao Xiaomai to co and ask her about it?”
If Qiao Xiaomai could make the food so distasteful yet still be seen as delicious by both Yang Wenxiao and Yang Hao, there must be sothing wrong with her.
And the problem wasn’t small.
He had harbored doubts about this for a while now but observing Yang Wenxiao’s admiration for Qiao Xiaomai’s cooking skills, he never found the right opportunity to speak up.
Now that Yao Xian had a problem after eating, it was ti to raise this issue.
Yang Wenxiao was getting on in years, his body couldn’t withstand much trouble.
And as for Yang Hao, the next Emperor, he couldn’t afford to be troubled either.
