Chapter 1340: Chapter 1342: Take the Opportunity to Ruin Her_1 Chapter 1340: Chapter 1342: Take the Opportunity to Ruin Her_1 Bai Ruozhu almost jumped up in excitent as she entered and slled the strong scent of dicines.
However, there were no dicinal materials placed in the outer area; instead, there was another door inside.
It was because of this that the scent of the pharmacy hadn’t dissipated too severely.
She walked through the second door and saw small wooden boxes, small jade bottles, and large dicine cabinets.
But when she opened the drawers, she found not loosely placed dicinal materials, but sealed boxes or jade bottles.
She nodded to herself, seeing that the ruler had arranged the storage of the dicine Storage quite well.
After all, the dicine Storage wasn’t an ordinary pharmacy where dicinal materials were frequently sold and replaced.
However, if not preserved properly, they could beco damp and lose their efficacy.
Many dicinal materials had their nas written on them, but the nas in the Western Regions were different from those in Danliang Country, and they also differed slightly from what Bai Ruozhu knew in her previous life.
Therefore, she had to go through them one by one.
Soon, she found many rare dicinal materials.
Regardless of whether they were needed to detoxify the king or not, she took a small amount of each into her space, along with so seeds.
With so many dicinal materials, it was impossible for every type to have a detailed count.
She was taking them into her space—who would know how much she had taken?
Bai Ruozhu smirked, considering it her consultation fee for treating the king.
Moreover, it truly would be a waste to leave so many dicinal materials unused.
There were also many seeds she couldn’t identify, but she packed away a few nonetheless; once planted in her space, she would know what they were.
“Wow, Erald Lotus!” she exclaid as she dashed over, having found a crucial ingredient for the Detoxification dicine.
Before long, she stored quite a few dicinal materials and seeds in her space and also found five types of dicinal herbs for detoxification, much more than she had expected.
Just as she was about to check again to ensure nothing was missed, a rustling sound suddenly ca from outside.
She couldn’t help but stop in her tracks.
Could it be that Lian Jia was getting impatient?
But Lian Jia clearly had agreed to stay away and wait for her signal.
Could it be that it wasn’t Lian Jia?
With that thought, she quickly retreated to the side of a large dicine cabinet and then hid inside her space.
Soon, the sound of the door being pushed open ca from outside, followed by Lian Jia’s voice, “Queen, what are you doing here?
This is the king’s Private Storage Room.
Have you inford the king of your visit here?”
The Queen at the doorway raised her eyebrows, “How dare you!
You are but a guard captain; what right do you have to question ?
Yingtong is unwell, and I have co to find her so dicinal herbs.
Could the king begrudge his own daughter the dicine for her treatnt?
What do you an by stopping ?”
The Queen narrowed her eyes slightly, “Could it be that you are hiding soone here, colluding with others to steal from the king’s dicine Storage?”
Bai Ruozhu couldn’t see the situation outside from her position, but she could hear the voices.
She arched an eyebrow, feeling like the Queen had co for her.
During their conversation in Qingyou Hall, they had Chen Feng and others guarding outside, and naturally, the king also had his trusted n watching.
Therefore, it was impossible for the Queen to have heard their conversation.
It seed then that the Queen must have had people watching the dicine Storage all year round and had just discovered Bai Ruozhu’s entry.
Bai Ruozhu couldn’t tell if the Queen had been stealing dicinal materials from the dicine Storage or not, but she curled her lip, unable to understand the Queen’s thinking.
To have the title of Queen and yet choose to be a lapdog for the Holy Hall.
“What is the aning of this, Queen?
The King has ordered that no one is to enter here, if you require any dicinal materials, you simply have to ask the King for them,” Lian Jia said.
The Queen pushed Lian Jia impatiently and said, “Out of my way, how dare you obstruct , I am the Queen!
I’ve been inford that you’ve been conspiring with outsiders to open the dicine Storage illegally.
I must investigate today to show the King your true colors, you traitor.”
“If the Queen insists on forcing her way in, then I must act against decorum!” Lian Jia knew that the Queen was just looking for a pretext to get in and capture Bai Ruozhu, then blow the situation out of proportion.
Even if the King would eventually admit he had permitted Bai Ruozhu to be in the dicine Storage, with the pressure from the Holy Hall, it was very likely that both he and Bai Ruozhu would be incriminated.
“How dare you, seize her!” The Queen shouted.
With a wave of her hand, a guard and a nanny attacked Lian Jia simultaneously.
Lian Jia’s expression turned solemn; the Queen had brought experts with her, and these two might even have been dispatched by the Holy Hall.
It seed they were determined to break in and capture Bai Ruozhu or even do away with her on the spot.
Lian Jia cursed herself for not bringing more people, but she had only co with Bai Ruozhu to avoid any leaks.
If anything happened to the person inside, her husband would likely turn against the Royal Family.
Gritting her teeth, Lian Jia blocked the two assailants, but unexpectedly, the Queen snorted coldly and four more guards appeared, escorting the Queen as they charged in.
“Don’t go too far, Queen!
Rember, you are the Queen of the Western Regions!” Lian Jia shouted angrily as she was held up by the two, unable to get past them.
The Queen laughed heartily.
“I am well aware of who I am; I don’t need your reminder!”
After speaking, she and the four guards rushed in.
Bai Ruozhu finally saw figures on the large screen and leisurely chewed on a fruit, muttering, “The Queen’s expression is so ferocious; to be so excited about acting like a dog, she really does resemble one.”
She spat out the fruit peel.
“No, that’s not fair; that’s an insult to dogs.
Dogs are friends to humans, far cuter than her.”
Yet the Queen’s face was filled with surprise and anger as she entered.
Why was there no one inside?
Could it be that Lian Jia had been stalling, allowing Lin Zhu to escape?
“Where is she?
Find her this instant!” the Queen bellowed in fury.
Outside, hearing this, Lian Jia found it strange.
The room was a closed space; where could Mrs.
Bai have hidden?
As the guards reported they found no one, Lian Jia heaved a huge sigh of relief; wherever Mrs.
Bai had gone, as long as she was not hard, all was well.
“How is that possible?
Search properly, check for any chanisms!” The Queen scrutinized the room again, confirming there was no one there.
Since the room was sealed, there was nowhere to escape, so she assud there must be a Secret Passage with a chanism.
Unfortunately, despite the guards’ prolonged search, they found nothing, and the Queen, in her frustration, slapped a guard and cursed “useless”.
Just then, the King arrived with his n; the noise from Lian Jia’s fight had alerted the Palace guards, who had inford the King.
Jiang Yichun saw Lian Jia struggling and quickly intervened, swiftly injuring the Queen’s guards.
Lian Jia seized the opportunity and struck the chest of the expert nanny with a palm.
The nanny coughed up blood and collapsed to the side.
“What are you doing, Queen?
Since when did my Private Storage Room beco your Back Garden?” the King demanded angrily.
Jiang Yichun narrowed his eyes; couldn’t he see what the Queen was trying to do?
Fortunately, he knew his wife’s capabilities; otherwise, he would have been driven to murder in his fright.
Yet even so, this offence could not be forgiven!
