Zi Luo dropped these words and walked out of the Jade Fu Palace's bedroom regardless of the reactions of the two people in the palace.
The countless resentments in Concubine Li's heart were temporarily forgotten by Zi Luo's words. She knew the financial background of every concubine in the harem very well.
The Qiao family of the Liang State was famous, just like the Zhao family of the Xiao State, they were the queen of the generals.
And Concubine Li knew even more that the mother of Concubine Qi was the legitimate daughter of the Qiao family and the previous queen of the Liang Kingdom.
If the source of Zi Luo's information is accurate, then Xiao Mubai will be imprisoned and will never be able to stand up again.
Lian Yan saw the weird excitement on Concubine Li's face and advised her: "My Lady, I don't know whether this news is true or not. His Highness Prince Mo has just been released from prison..."
Li Fei regained some strength at this time and struggled to get up. Lian Yan quickly gave her a hand.
"He won't lie to me. If he wants my life, he doesn't have to feed me the antidote just now. I'm still useful to him. So, this news must be true." Although Li Fei's makeup was gone, Lost, but still looked calm on his face.
It wasn't until she walked to the dressing mirror and saw her current appearance that she screamed and threw everything on the table down.
"Your Majesty, I will help you freshen your makeup right now." Lian Yan bowed and quickly stepped back to let the maid prepare hot water.
The resentment that Li Fei had just forgotten began to spread in her heart again.
She couldn't understand why Yue Fengwan obviously wanted the lives of Xia Chu and Xiao Mubai, but she offered them, only to be trampled on by him.
She never expected that Yuefengwan would send someone to follow the escort team all the way to secretly protect Xia Chu.
Fortunately, he died and jumped off the cliff. The person held by the moon wind could not be saved even if he wanted to...
However, Yue Fengwan asked Zi Luo to punish Li Fei, but did not tell her that Xia Chu was still alive.
Whoever he wants to kill, it won't be Concubine Li's turn to take over.
Therefore, Li Fei, who was redressing at this time, besides feeling resentful and resentful, was also a little immersed in the joy of Xia Chu's death and Xiao Mubai's dual identity.
As for the dead man in Concubine Li's eyes, after learning the news that Xiao Mubai was released from prison today, she worked in the dining room early and made a sumptuous lunch. Han Sa, who was helping him by the side, was also taken away. The aroma of the food makes me salivate.
Looking at Han Sa's eager eyes, Xia Chu made a 'tsk' sound twice and waved his hand: "While he hasn't come back yet, take a small bowl and put some in it."
"Okay." Han Sa responded cheerfully, and made a gesture of confidentiality to him. When Xia Chu nodded in agreement, he hurriedly went to fill a small bowl and prepared to hide it.
Just as Han Sa was humming a little tune and picking up sumptuous delicacies one by one with brisk steps, Xia Chu behind him suddenly called him: "Han Sa..."
"Don't worry, young master, I do a little bit of everything, and I will never let the prince see it." Han Sa replied happily behind his back, without stopping to hold the chopsticks in his hand.
"You're in a good mood." A familiar voice sounded from behind.
Han Sa answered smoothly: "That's..."
As soon as the word 'yes' came out, he noticed something was wrong with the trailing sound. He turned around and saw Xia Chu lowering his head and pinching his eyebrows. The person leaning on the door next to him had returned to his house. Xiao Mubai.
Han Sa felt a little pain in his head for a moment, and was thinking about how to flatter him. Han Hong, who was following Xiao Mubai, added insult to injury at this moment: "It turns out that you specially sent me to pick up the prince to steal food here. The meal the young master cooked for the prince!"
Han Sa immediately gouged him out with a knife in his eye, but was gouged back by Xiao Mubai's knife in his eye. Han Sa was immediately cowed...
Han Hong stood behind Xiao Mubai, winking at him and taunting him. Han Sa did not dare to respond. He ran all the way with a flattering face, walked up to Xiao Mubai, and said with sincerity: "Your Majesty, Now that I have returned home, I am naturally in a good mood."
Xiao Mubai nodded suddenly: "You are so happy that you want to eat my meal to cheer up?"
Han Sa waved his hands repeatedly: "No, I just want to test the poison for the prince..."
Xiao Mubai turned to Xia Chu and raised his eyebrows: "He said... you poisoned me?"
Xia Chu glanced at Han Sa and saw his little eyes turning for help, so he put his hand on Xiao Mubai's arm, took him and walked outside, saying: "Look at the child, why don't you just eat it?" You can’t finish two bites of food anyway.”
Xiao Mubai looked at the arm that was holding him, the corners of his mouth curved, his eyes glanced at his face, and he sneered: "Child? He is seven years older than you."
"Hmm." Xia Chu pursed her lips: "But he is stupid. His IQ has not kept up with his development."
Behind him, Han Sa was grateful to Xia Chu. After hearing these words, the corner of his mouth twitched, while Han Hong laughed beside him with joy.
Xiao Mubai nodded in agreement: "Then should I change my attendant to a smarter one?"
Xia Chu laughed awkwardly: "No, no, no..."
When the two of them left the dining room, Han Sa pointed at Han Hong with a small bowl that was almost full and said, "Hurry up and get the dishes out."
Han Hong raised his eyebrows and looked at him: "Why don't you put back the stolen vegetables?"
Han Sa hid it behind her back like a baby. Of course she couldn't do it, and she was scolded. It would be a shame if she didn't get it.
"I'll file a complaint." Han Hong nodded, turned around and walked out.
"Don't bother me, I'll give you half." Han Sa gritted his teeth with a heartbroken expression.
"Okay." Han Hong turned around with a smile on his face, not forgetting to tell him: "Hurry up and hide yourself. I'll call someone to serve the food."
…
The round table in the front hall was soon filled with a whole table of delicacies.
Xiao Mubai was holding a very ordinary piece of fried eggplant box, staring at the small particles on it and asked, "What's on top of this?"
Xia Chu held his cheek with one hand and knocked on the table with the other hand, looking mysterious: "You'll know after you try it."
Xiao Mubai obediently took a bite, and actually tasted the fruity taste. It turned out that those fruit particles were sour and sweet, spread on the eggplant box that was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. When biting into it, it was not only soft but also sweet and sour. , exceptionally delicious…
"The dishes you cook are very suitable for Master Jieyan's temperament. He also likes to study fresh dishes." Xiao Mubai sighed unintentionally.
But it made Xia Chu blush. He coughed slightly and changed the subject: "My biological son is different. He goes in with the front foot and releases the other foot as soon as possible."
Xiao Mubai tapped his forehead, feigning anger: "Then who did I go in for?"
Hearing this, Xia Chu narrowed his smile and coaxed to him: "Eat quickly. After you finish eating, I will give you a gift to repay His Highness King Mo for his scapegoat."
