Qiu Yilan was not very enthusiastic about the task of cooking for the emperor. It was not that she was afraid that the emperor would not use the words she had worked so hard to prepare - she was afraid that the emperor would really have a big appetite. In that case, Princess Yongfu Doesn’t it mean that he is asked to come to the palace to be a cook every day? !
It's just that these days have been quite troublesome for Queen Jiang, and the Queen loves Princess Yongfu the most, so it's really hard to refuse. She promised readily, but in her heart she made up her mind: "I'll make two at a time. Anyway, Yongfu doesn't know what my cooking skills are... I don't want to run into the palace to cook pots all the time!" Although she is not the head of the household. Young Madam, you have to deal with a bunch of trivial matters in your yard yourself, okay
To take a step back, even if you have nothing to do at home, you can still gain relationship points by talking to Empress Jiang in the palace, cooking for the emperor... and getting covered in oil fumes, but the benefits are limited, and she doesn't have this kind of love!
After all, the emperor couldn't eat - I think it was because of poisoning that he moved to Funing Palace. Not only did he leave his group of warm and fragrant nephrites to serve him, but Empress Dowager Gu and Empress Jiang also banned his harem Jie Yuhua and most of his heirs. Look at him and insist that he stay in Funing Palace until his body recovers completely before leaving, right
"Ask your mother to call Concubine Shu and some other beloved concubines to come over. I guarantee that he will be full of energy immediately!" Qiu Yilan was perfunctory with Princess Yongfu and followed her into the small kitchen of Zishen Palace. There was some malice in her heart. I thought, "It was depressing that the emperor had a powerful mother and a fierce wife, but as an emperor he had to beg the queen for the promotion and removal of his concubines. Now even the only pleasure of the harem has been deprived, and with What’s wrong with the prisoner, it’s no wonder he can still eat! What’s the use of asking me to cook for him! The answer is to find a few little concubines who look like flowers to play games with him!”
Princess Yongfu didn't know what she was thinking - given the princess's upbringing, it was too difficult to learn to read people's eyes - she kept chattering about the emperor's merits and demerits throughout the cooking process: "... When I went there the day before yesterday, my father The emperor specially asked someone to bring his "Pink Treasure Lin" to me. At first, I was thinking, could this Pink Treasure Lin be brought in? Besides, the emperor's grandmother and mother did not want the harem to disturb the father. Recuperate? Why is Baolin still in Funing Palace? When the waiter came to it, he found out that it was a 'Fengzhuanglou' plant, also called 'Yu Linglong'. My cousin didn't know what it was, right? ! My father said that he planted it himself last autumn, and now he has put several flower buds on it. He said that he would give it to me when he gets well... "
Qiu Yilan was upset at first, but then she saw that she was talking about trivial things and she was talking very enthusiastically. She felt a little sympathetic to the princess: "It's so rare to get along with your biological father before you can continue to talk about it." Are you so excited that you keep dragging me on about such a trivial matter? "
Isn't it just a pot of rose flowers...
My heart softened, and I originally planned to add some water when cooking. This would only ensure that the dishes looked good, but not necessarily that they would be delicious.
When he left the palace, he regretted: "You won't really be able to please the emperor, but you will always be dragged into the palace by the princess and become a smoke and fire, right?!"
While she was feeling anxious and troubled here, the curtain of Shazhou was gradually closing -
"You're finally here?" Qiu Jinglan was dressed in plain clothes and her hair was wrapped in linen, just like a filial son. She was wearing hemp shoes. Facing the north wind that was as cold as a knife in Shazhou, she looked quietly at the person being After being shackled and escorted by soldiers, Kuang Qingwu climbed up to the high platform step by step.
The high platform was built a few days ago when the Western Barbarians withdrew their troops, so they ordered people to work day and night.
Although the platform is very high, there are not many things on it: just three pillars with one person tied to each, and a sacrificial incense table in the middle of the pillars.
Except for the three tied people, there were only a few soldiers on guard on the stage. But all of them have light steps and exposed evil spirits. They are the only masters left in "Tianya".
One of the people on the pillar had his head drooped, his hair disheveled, covering his face; the other two were forced to reveal their faces, one of them was Kuang Shihan; the last one looked exhausted, but he could still see his elegant demeanor, if there was any When the officials in Shazhou City are here, they will surely recognize that it is Empress Dowager Gu’s biological daughter, Her Royal Highness Princess Xingkang!
While waiting for Kuang Qingwu to surrender, Qiu Jinglan would not let the enemies who killed her father and mother stay idle, and often tortured Kuang Shihan and his wife. Therefore, at this moment, the eldest princess Xingkang could not even stay awake. General Zhenxi was wearing only his middle coat, which was stained with blood, and he was shivering involuntarily under the howling cold wind.
This kind of trembling turned into an unstoppable tremor after seeing Kuang Qingwu being escorted up. In fact, Kuang Qingwu's situation was not much better than him at the moment. Although he was dragged over as soon as he was captured, no one was there on the road. They tortured him, but with his pale and haggard face and bloodshot eyes, it was obvious that he could not sleep peacefully these days.
Staring at his only flesh and blood, Kuang Shihan really didn't know what he felt in his heart - maybe this is how General Ruan felt now when he heard that his son and grandson had died in the battle
It's a pity that at that time, General Ruan could still hold the case and cry loudly, but Kuang Shihan could not make any sound when his mouth was gagged! He could only signal Kuang Qingwu with his eyes... But what exactly was he signaling to his son who had fallen into Qiu Jinglan's hands
"This is really retribution!" Kuang Shihan slumped down helplessly. The rope on his body and the pillar behind him strangled his body, allowing him to maintain his original kneeling position - the direction he was kneeling in was exactly where Qiu Zhong was born. The place to die! Forced to witness such an attitude and recall the past, Kuang Shihan just wanted to die quickly.
"It would be great if I could die before Qingwu, but Qiu Jinglan is obsessed with torturing me, how can I be willing?" Kuang Shihan thought sadly, "Back then, Qiu Zhongyan and the descendants of the Ruan family, the former died in my hands, and the latter Death at the hands of the Western Barbarians... At least General Ruan and others in the Xihe Palace did not witness it with their own eyes! So Qiu Jinglan, if you kill my only son in front of me, is it enough to calm your anger? So, give Qingwu a happy life and don’t torture him!”
It's just that things turned out to be more cruel than he thought -
Kuang Qingwu was escorted to Qiu Jinglan, but the latter had no intention of punishing or humiliating him. Instead, he looked at him calmly, then pulled out the sword from his waist and threw it in front of him with a clang: "There are three people here. I will sacrifice the hearts and livers of two of them. You kill two of them. I can let the last one go!"
This sudden change stunned Kuang Qingwu, who was already preparing to go to hell...
Kuang Shihan, who was tied up, understood in an instant that he started struggling crazily - and the end result was that the guard behind him would hit him with the handle of his knife several times until he was unable to struggle!
Qiu Jinglan didn't even look at the movement on his side, and looked at Kuang Qingwu with a half-smile: "How about it? Not only can I let the last person go, but if you do this, I can also let you go!"
Kuang Qingwu looked at him warily, and he could hear the malice in Qiu Jinglan's words without Kuang Shihan's reminder.
Just looking at the three people on the stage, he still asked in a hoarse voice: "Where is Mr. Leshan? I have nothing to say about repaying a father's debt to his son, but how can he be innocent?"
"Mr. Leshan... Of course he is among them!" Qiu Jinglan waved her hand, and someone pulled back the hair of the man with long hair covering his face, revealing Mr. Leshan's face as pale as death, and his dying look made Kuang Qingwu's eyes wide open. She couldn't help but wince: "What did you do to Mr.?!"
"I heard that he knows you very well. I originally hoped that he could provide you with possible methods, or write you a letter calling you to a certain place..." Qiu Jinglan said casually, "Who would have thought that although he is ill? He is so stubborn that he refused to say anything even after being tortured to the end. He was afraid of getting killed, so I just tied him here and let you choose! "
"Liar! Liar!!!" Kuang Shihan shouted crazily in his heart, "Qingwu, don't be fooled - that old guy is the one who harmed our two fathers!!! Qiu Jinglan, Ren Ziyong, You must not die well! You have used such despicable methods! ! Qing Wu came back to save Ren Ziyong! You are so pitiful to me, because you are hurting me! If my father hadn't been blind and recommended that Ren Ziyong to you as a teacher... Oh my God! Why would I take revenge on my innocent child like this!
But no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't get out Sebu's words. He could only watch in vain as Kuang Qingwu's expression changed a lot, then he picked up Qiu Jinglan's sword and asked in a deep voice: "Are you serious?!"
"Of course." Qiu Jinglan looked at him intently, "Kill two and let one go, and you are also included... How about it?"
Kuang Qingwu picked up the sword and walked up to Princess Xingkang. Without even blinking, he casually pierced the golden branch and jade leaf's chest!
"Ah!" The noble princess was still in a coma after being tortured. She only had time to let out a short scream. Her body twitched quickly for a while, then stopped moving, and her fragrance disappeared!
"I have wanted to do this a long time ago!" Kuang Qingwu looked down at her body, his eyes showing no respect for his aunt's mother, but a touch of joy, "I really hate your hypocritical behavior and your eagerness to do so. My wish to die soon!"
Qiu Jinglan was not surprised that he killed Princess Xingkang so simply. Kuang Qingwu's hatred for his aunt came from the shadow of his biological mother's tragic death at the hands of his biological father, especially Princess Xingkang, who had been under the orders of the Queen Mother Gu. Trying to control the Zhenxi Army. Of course she had to try to control Kuang Shihan's only heir - this kind of control, explained by Mr. Leshan's elaborate conspiracy, had already made Kuang Qingwu's aunt extremely black in his mind.
If it weren't for Empress Dowager Gu and Princess Xingkang's status as an imperial daughter, Kuang Qingwu would have been deceived into killing her long ago. Now that I have the chance, I will kill her first without any hesitation.
"This second one is the highlight. I hope you won't disappoint me!" Qiu Jinglan smiled and watched Kuang Qingwu shake off the blood stains on the sword, then turned around - who will you go to
