FLAG.15 Aftermath
When Yayi Yonglin paced to the front of the court again, Kaguya was the only one left. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The tables in front of the courtyard were still in place, the saury that had been grilled was on the table, and the chestnut rice was still steaming.
But apparently no one is enjoying it.
Penglai Mountain Huiye, who seemed quiet, sat in a daze on the porch, heard footsteps, and turned his head slightly.
"Ah, Yonglin. “
Bayi Yonglin nodded and sat down in front of the entrance.
"What about Your Excellency Mo Ming?"
"Already back. “
"Is it okay without Reizen, and they lead the way?"
"It's okay, I gave him a jade branch leaf. “
"Oh?" Bayi Yonglin raised his eyebrows slightly, then smiled, "It's okay." “
In this way, if you come to the Eternal Pavilion in the future, you don't have to say in advance that you will let Reisen lead the way.
Bayi Yonglin, who was about to say something more, seemed to suddenly notice something, and was suddenly stunned.
To be honest, although it was fleeting, it seemed that this expression of Bayi Yonglin had not been seen for many years.
After thinking about it for a long time, Bayi Yonglin hesitated and said, "Why...... Her Royal Highness the Princess also took ......"
"Sure enough," Penglai Shan Kaguya laughed, "I guessed that Yonglin saw it." “
"After all, it's something I did. “
After confirming the situation with his own princess, Bayi Yonglin frowned slightly.
But it didn't take long for it to stretch out again.
Penglai Shan Kaguya combed his long hair and muttered.
"Yonglin, you're miserable. “
"I'm sorry, it was the concubine's mistake," Bayi Yonglin got up and bowed slightly to Kaguyahime, "I didn't expect ......"
"I didn't expect him to ask politely out of embarrassment, or did I not expect to ask him for a snack in private?"
Bayi Yonglin was silent.
"Sit down, Yonglin, I'm not angry, and you don't have to blame yourself. “
Sitting back in the hallway, he seemed to remember something, and asked, "Remember that there are two ...... in the food box."
"I only ate one privately. “
"Oh," Bayi Yonglin exhaled, "Then ...... so"
"The remaining one was thrown away. “
Bayi Yonglin wondered: "Why is the princess ......?"
When I woke up, the food box was empty, and only the steamed bun was left inside...... Private speculation, maybe he found some clues. “
"So ......"
Kaguya nodded: "I don't want him to bring that steamed bun back, no matter what happens and it is eaten, it's not what I want to see." “
In the courtyard, a few rabbit monsters came and went, cleaning up the piles of unused ingredients that had been placed not long ago, as well as some small kitchen waste.
Penglai Mountain Huiye took a sip of tea and whispered: "Besides, for some reason, I don't want him to eat that steamed bun...... This is true even if there is only one person sitting opposite him. “
Although it was a whisper to himself, Bayi Yonglin heard it. Although he heard it, Bayi Yonglin couldn't answer anything.
In the end, he could only say: "If the princess needs it, the concubine can immediately prepare the antidote......
"I'll talk about that later, if I'm sleepy, I'll go to sleep first......"
Based on past experience, playing handheld all night until now, it's probably time to be a little sleepy.
But Kaguya doesn't think so at the moment.
Is it really because of this strange feeling?
Penglai Shan Kaguya yawned and got up.
"Your Royal Highness Princess," Reisen, who commanded the rabbits to clean up the table and chopsticks, came in a weak voice, "That...... The ...... on the table"
"Ah, that...... Pour it out. Kaguya waved her hand and turned around, ready to go back to her room.
"W-That, princess!" was still Reizen's voice.
"What, is there anything else?" Kaguya stopped.
"If the princess doesn't need it, the ......" Rezusen said, blushing rabbit ears, "chestnut rice...... If you have chestnut rice, can you ......?"
“...... You want to eat?"
"That...... That's the case, because, because before, when I went to the village to listen to Teacher Mo Ming's cooking class, I sat too far away and didn't have the opportunity to taste Teacher Mo Ming's craftsmanship, so I ......"
"Oh......"
With his back to Reisen and Yayi Yongrin, Penglai Mountain Kaguya fell into deep thought for some reason.
Immediately, as if confirming something, he asked: "Mo Ming's private cooking, do you want to eat?"
"Yes, yes. “
After another while, Penglai Mountain Huiye turned around.
I walked back to the entrance and sat back against the pillar.
"I changed my mind. Kaguya said.
"Sure enough, it's better to eat a little before going to bed all night. “
"Eh--" Reisen let out a mournful cry.
"Reisen, bring the chestnut rice and saury. “
"Yes. He replied weakly.
......
......
Mo Ming slowly climbed the steps leading to the shrine with a heavy face.
Thinking about the cause of this series of strange things that happened at noon.
This time the Eternal Pavilion went to the appointment, and I was going to make some further tests on the alchemy props of the "exorcism powder", but I didn't even have a chance to leave again.
And at the cooking meeting that was going on, Yayi Yonglin suddenly left, and took all the monsters present, leaving only the princess alone, some for no reason.
Originally, there wasn't much suspicion, but combined with Kaguya's sudden fall into a deep sleep after eating the water steamed bun, Mo Ming remembered the sudden sleepiness he had at the shrine in the morning.
Could it be that there are some ingredients in the dim sum that have side effects similar to sleeping pills...... However, when Kaguya woke up not long after, and Mo Ming asked her why, the only water steamed bun left in the food box suddenly disappeared.
And then there is, ask...... and playing dumb.
It's not the first time that something has disappeared in front of you, and if it weren't for some youkai sage in the underworld, it must have something to do with the ability of this Kaguya-hime.
But...... Reason with her, the other party pretends to be stupid, and will use force...... Forget it, Mo Ming is very sorry for his life.
Although he used to shine on the world stage as an intelligence analyst, he had a lot of information at that time, which is not the same as it is now.
It is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice, and in the absence of intelligence, she will reason casually, and maybe because of her preconceived ideas, she will come to some conclusions that deviate from the facts.
Mo Ming took out a round pendant from his pocket that seemed to be made of jade.
"Supposedly it's a leaf?"
It doesn't look like a leaf.
But no matter what, it should be a treasure, and even if you take it to the world, you should be able to pawn it for a lot of money.
And you can also find the way in the Lost Bamboo Forest, which is also quite useful.
However, for the sake of prudence, it is better to find Reimu or Alice to confirm that there are no bad prohibitions on it, in case you accidentally catch the road, it will be too late.
Speaking of which, the reason why Mo Ming had such a deep hatred for the princess of the Eternal Pavilion largely depended on the "attack" of the princess when they first met.
To say that Penglai Mountain is a person, even if the appearance and temperament are evaluated by the country and the city, it is not biased, generally speaking, who of the two parties takes advantage, there is no need to say more.
However, it is also impossible to underestimate the degree to which an innocent old virgin who has lived for more than a hundred years minds his first kiss.
Especially the fact that the other party is out of malice makes him unable to let go.
Of course, Kaguya didn't underestimate this from the beginning, otherwise she wouldn't have made such a self-inflicted move. But she really didn't expect it, so the jade branch leaves she gave out of kindness were regarded as ulterior motives and she was wary of this kind of thing.
It's also emotional.
......
......
Back at the shrine, the first thing I did was go to the kitchen to put back the contents of the package, and there I met Reimu standing in front of the small stove in a daze.
Mo Ming's sudden appearance seemed to startle Reimeng.
Then he exhaled.
"The teacher is back, the people of the Eternal Pavilion are not difficult for you, right?"
"It's nothing, what about you, Reimu, has the monster matter been solved?"
Reimu shook his head: "The monsters seem to be hiding, and they didn't find the suspicious monsters mentioned on the commission in the Enchanted Forest, so I asked Marisa and Alice, and they said that they didn't find anything abnormal." “
"Looks like we're going to have to work harder lately. Mo Ming smiled.
Lingmeng nodded, and then, indifferently, while taking the dim sum tools that Mo Ming took out of the package and putting them back on the small stove, she asked casually, "Did the teacher notice the ice dim sum I soaked in the bucket this morning?"
"Frozen dim sum?...... Water steamed buns?"
Mo Ming said in his heart, the matter of water steamed buns can only be inquired about from Lingmeng.
"Well," Reimu nodded, "I was immersed in water this morning, and when I came back, I found that I didn't see it." “
Do you want to admit that you secretly took it out and ate it?
It's big or small...... How you interpret it depends on Reimu.
Although it is true that he said that he would be the first to eat the teacher after making a snack, since he hadn't taken it out yet, it was still Reimu's personal belongings.
There are only Mo Ming and Lingmeng living in the shrine, and Mo Ming has always been very cautious about this boundary. Personal belongings, private territory, never set foot in the thunder pool. Now that he has quietly eaten the new dim sum without permission, this matter is Mo Ming's fault anyway.
Of course, as a mature elder, it is already obvious what to do at such a time.
Telling the truth, apologizing sincerely, and then asking for forgiveness is the way to be an elder.
Mo Ming speculated with a serious face: "I guess, it should be that when we were not at the shrine, a goblin secretly came to the kitchen and ate it." “
After that, he walked to his stove and pretended to sort out the condiment box, and quietly turned around by the way, and glanced at Reimu with a weak heart.
Then she sensed that Reimu breathed a sigh of relief as if she was relieved when she heard this.
"Oh, that's right. Reimu said.
"Speaking of which, when did you make the water steamed buns? Is it the new dim sum in the experiment I said earlier?"
"Ah...... That,Hehe,No,It's a snack for the experiment.,But it's a failure.,Because I don't know what to do with it, I've been chilling it in a bucket.。 “
"Did it fail, did it go wrong, did it taste or did it ...... or something?"
"Well, it's a failure anyway, a failure. “
"Will there be any bad effects on people eating it?" Mo Ming asked quietly.
"People's words, maybe...... But、But, the goblins are heartless, so it shouldn't be okay to eat it......"
"Why...... If you don't have a heart or lungs, you'll be fine if you eat it?"
"Well, ah, that...... I mean, I don't think it will have a stomach upset, after all, goblins eat all day long, something like 'stupid people don't catch a cold'?"
Why is it a question sentence...... Mo Ming complained silently in her heart.
Reimu, you are my student, but this lying skill is really far from the teacher's mine.
After a seemingly nutritious conversation, Mo Ming was almost sure that there was something wrong with the water steamed bun dim sum.
And the heart has also enumerated a few clues that can be investigated.
Key characters: Penglai Mountain Huiye, Reimu.
Key items: water steamed buns, recipes for mysteries.
Key elements: the strange attitude of Bayi Yonglin, the secrecy of Penglai Mountain Kaguya, and the strange disguise of Reimu.
There is only one truth.
Mo Ming walked out of the kitchen, looked up, and looked at the clear sky under the autumn sun.
Probably visit some honest witch who is kind and loving but doesn't like to lie very much, and it's all clear.
