The little eunuch outside cautiously came over and whispered a few words in front of the chief executive. Su Li glanced at Master, and Su Ran glared: "What are you looking at me for, do you still need me to teach you?"
"Your Majesty, King Xu is asking to see you outside the gate of the palace!" Su Li stepped forward, looked at the gap, and reported the news from the little eunuch to the monarch and his ministers who came and went.
"Yes, this is here to find someone important to me!" What should come will always come, Zhu Junfan felt relieved. I just don't know if that kid, knowing that his daughter-in-law was poisoned in the palace, will blow up the Kunning Palace. I hope he will save face because Xiaocao is still alive and kicking, and don't make the scene too embarrassing!
"Xuan!" Zhu Junfan winked at Xiaocao. If Xu Wang's kid gets mad, only this girl can put out the fire!
Yu Xiaocao looked puzzled: Your Majesty, my man is here, what do you mean by winking at me
"My humble minister joins the emperor!" Zhu Junyang hurriedly walked, he hadn't seen the little lady out of the palace for a long time, and he knew something was wrong. After entering the palace, he used his ability to detect the news that his daughter-in-law had been poisoned from the hearts of the maids and eunuchs in Kunning Palace. He was so anxious that he almost "flyed" in.
As soon as he entered the Kunning Palace, his eyes were searching for his little daughter-in-law, seeing her rosy complexion, sitting in the East Nuan Pavilion safe and sound, he put most of his heart down.
"Husband... Xianggong... Master!" Yu Xiaocao changed the address of her man three times in a row. The first address is not very appropriate, the second address, why is it so disgusting? Let's just call it the third one. When the female protagonist called those male protagonists who are Baylor and princes, she thought it was quite interesting.
As soon as the emperor spit out the word "Pingshen", he saw Zhu Junyang's long legs take a step, and came to the little grass girl's side in three or two steps, took her hand, looked at her numbly for a long time, and asked : "Are you sure the poison is gone?" This kid, how did he know that his wife was poisoned? Does the palace have his eyes and ears
Yu Xiaocao answered irrelevantly, and said with surprise in her eyes: "That's right!! Your Majesty, there is a solution!! Our master is best at judging those stubborn guys, let him help, maybe there will be a breakthrough in the case!"
"Oh? You have confidence in your man!" Zhu Junfan didn't have any hope, even Su Ran couldn't do anything about it, his cousin could open someone's brain to see
Xiaocao, however, took it for granted, and said arrogantly: "Of course! He is my man, if you don't believe him, who will you trust?"
Seeing that she still had the energy to fight with the emperor, Zhu Junyang finally let go of the other half's concern. Hearing what Xiaocao said just now, he frowned and asked, "What? The person who poisoned him hasn't been found yet? It's hidden deep enough! Your Majesty, I'm willing to go and assist in the investigation!!"
"Your Majesty, dinner is ready!" Su Li's voice sounded again.
Zhu Junfan greeted his cousin and younger siblings: "Hasn't Junyang eaten yet? Let's eat something first, and then talk about the case! Just now your wife said that people are iron and rice are steel, and if you don't eat a meal, you will be hungry! The emperor is not afraid of hunger." Bing, come, come! Eat together!"
The dinner was served in the flower hall of Xinuan Pavilion, Zhu Junyang was not an outsider, and the emperor didn't pay attention to those red tapes. During the meal, not only the empress was present, but even the prince Zhu Hanwen was called over. After all, he was regarded as the successor of a country and had been carefully cultivated for so many years, so he was easily targeted by spies.
Nearly half of the cooks and workers in the imperial dining room were arrested, and people were in panic. It was the chief chef of the imperial dining room who was in charge, and only then did they prepare a decent dinner.
Dinner is not a big meal, only eight dishes and one soup. Compared with the extravagance of how often a dish is served in the royal banquet on TV, it is simple. There are Bazhen Soup, Braised Shark's Fin, Roasted Deer Tendon, Palace Wanfu Meat, Steamed Chicken, Assorted Chicken Shreds, Sea Cucumber, Fresh Shrimp Balls, and Stir-fried Water Bamboo.
Su Li stood by the side, tried the dishes one by one with the silver needle, and presented them in front of the masters until the color didn't change. Xiaocao had already been waiting with her chopsticks in hand.
However, Zhu Junyang held down his daughter-in-law's hand that was about to move, took a piece of deer tendon, took a bite out of it, chewed it carefully, waited for a while, and sent it to the bowl in front of Xiaocao when there was no reaction.
Xiaocao ate the roasted deer tendon that could only be regarded as warm, blinked her eyes, and said, "The cakes in the morning were given chronic drugs! I have a special constitution, and my tongue is sensitive to drugs, so I can quickly detect it. Take the antidote before the attack is complete.” The potential meaning is that your method can only be used for severe poisons that attack on the spot, and has little effect on chronic ones.
Only then did Zhu Junfan come to his senses: "Great, your painful appearance this morning is all pretending to test me?"
"How can this be! How dare this minister fool you, the emperor? Well, it can't be considered all fake, it's just half-truth, Your Majesty, this minister is indeed poisoned!" Yu Xiaocao took the fresh shrimp caught by her man again. After eating the meatball, he blinked his big eyes and pretended to be innocent.
The Empress followed suit to smooth things over: "Your Majesty, the imperial physicians have confirmed that the pastry contains deadly poison. Sir Yu did not lie to you!"
"Yes, yes! It's just that my physique reacts quickly to poison, so I can see through the enemy's insidious tricks in time—Your Majesty, how about... I help you try these dishes, is it safe?" Yu Xiaocao was dissatisfied with the speed at which the man picked up the vegetables. , her little stomach growled and rebelled, and she thought of a reasonable excuse to eat these delicious imperial meals first.
The head chef of the imperial dining room, who lowered his head and shrunk his sense of existence, was also trembling in his heart, although these dishes were cooked by him himself, and there were no fake hands. But the pastry in the morning, there was nothing wrong with any process, but it was highly poisonous, and the new imperial chef couldn't explain it!
Zhu Junyang disagreed: "In the morning, the toxin has already invaded your body. What if another poison comes in and your body collapses?"
"I've taken the antidote, and I'm immune to any toxins for 24 hours!" Yu Xiaocao said with certainty, flattering this little bit, "For the safety of the king of a country and the future prince, as a minister, you must lead the way , giving up one's life for righteousness..."
"Shut up!!" Zhu Junyang didn't care what she said, and confiscated her chopsticks, lest this girl really go to "sacrifice her life for righteousness", and leave him alone in the world, what should he do? Thinking back now, he was still a little scared, if Xiaocao hadn't had the habit of carrying the detoxification pill with him, if the poison was so strong that there was no solution, what he saw at this time might be the cold corpse of the little girl. Thinking of this, a certain dark dragon in the bottom of my heart is ready to move.
"Okay, okay! Can't I just shut up? Don't get excited, calm down, calm down!" Xiaocao, who was sitting next to him, clearly sensed Zhu Junyang's emotional changes and hurriedly comforted him. I was afraid that he would lose control and blow up the empress's Kunning Palace.
Zhu Junyang threw away the chopsticks in his hand, hugged her tightly in his arms, felt the warmth of her body, and smelled the fragrance from her head, and his fearful heart calmed down a bit: "You are well, Grandpa will be fine!"
"Okay, okay, okay! Both of us are doing well, we live a long life, we have many children and grandchildren, and everything goes well!" Yu Xiaocao's small hand went around his waist, gently patted her man's back, tenderly Softly comforting.
Zhu Hanwen had obviously never seen such an "intimate" behavior, his handsome face flushed with shame. The empress also looked away embarrassedly, pretending to tidy up the tableware.
Zhu Junfan coughed heavily, and said, "Be careful, don't spread dog food all over the sky, okay? Eat, eat, the food is cold!"
Next, Zhu Junyang still went his own way to pick up the food, took a bite by himself, and gave the remaining half to his wife. After dinner, Xiaocao felt that she was only half full, took a sip of tea, and asked weakly, "How about dessert?"
The head chef who led the eunuchs to clean up the dining table thought to himself: This Concubine Xu has a big heart. She just suffered a loss in dim sum this morning, and now she dares to ask for dessert.
He bowed and said: "Princess Huixu, the two dessert chefs in the imperial dining room, one is on vacation today, and the other is..." It means, don't worry about desserts.
"Then... cut up fruits and bring them here! Strawberries, cherries, cantaloupe... these fruits don't matter, let's have some!" Because of the greenhouses, these fruits have been on the market in Zhuangzi in the suburbs of Beijing.
The chief chef of the imperial kitchen glanced at the emperor, saw him nodding his head, and hurriedly said: "Yes, I will go wash some with my own hands and present them here."
Zhu Junfan continued the topic before dinner: "Junyang, look, Su Ran hasn't come back so far, obviously the interrogation has not made any progress. Since your daughter-in-law admires you so much, why don't you go over there?"
Zhu Junyang had long wanted to find out the guy who was going to harm his wife and tear him into pieces, so naturally he was duty-bound. It wasn't long after he went there, and Xiaocao hadn't finished eating a plate of fruit, and the case had already come to a conclusion.
It turned out that on the way back from the imperial dining room, the court lady who passed on the meal, met her fellow countryman—a eunuch who was so ordinary and so ordinary, she was stopped and said a few words. While talking, the food box rested on the railing under the corridor, and it turned out that something went wrong at that time.
In fact, this little eunuch was open to money, so he took the money from the eunuch who had contacts on weekdays, and asked him to tell the maid from the same village who passed the meal that the eunuch who paid the money wanted to become a rival with his fellow villager. The maid from the same town scolded him angrily, picked up the food box and went back to Kunning Palace.
After extracting this information from the mind of the fellow eunuch, Zhu Junyang arrested the eunuch who paid the money non-stop. When arresting him, the eunuch saw that the matter had been exposed, bit the poisonous pill in his mouth and wanted to commit suicide, but Zhu Junyang forced a pill of detoxification pill to save him.
The mental power controlled by Zhu Junyang impacted the eunuch's brain, and followed the clues to catch the messenger behind him—it really was the spy who entered the palace at the same time as Su Ran. He is an old eunuch who has guarded the cold palace for more than 20 years.
