Chapter 19 Medicinal Diet
After a few breaths, the prince raised his eyebrows: "Did you hear me?"
Mu Zhifu looked at him very innocently: "I heard it, but I don't know what's going on?"
The Thirteenth Princess stepped forward and looked at her angrily: "You don't know what's going on? You poisoned that farmer in front of us last night." ”
Mu Zhifu seemed puzzled and asked, "Does the princess mean that the person who screamed was the farmer last night, and that he was poisoned?"
"You're pretending? The farmer told me that you not only poisoned him, but also robbed him of the rent we paid him. Why are you so vicious?" Xiao Jinwei was furious.
More than 3,000 taels of silver were robbed by this woman. Knowing that this could be the case, she made the first move.
"I understand what's going on. Mu Zhifu seemed to suddenly realize, looking at Xiao Jinche, innocent and aggrieved. "Your Highness, the farmer lied, and he framed me. ”
Xiao Jinche looked at her aggrieved little eyes, and her heart softened. "Oh? Tell me what's going on. ”
Mu Zhifu said: "Yesterday, my sister and I rented a room from the farmer. But when we were about to rest at night, he suddenly came to ask for a rent increase, and if we didn't pay, he would drive us away. ”
The prince frowned, the farmer didn't say anything about this.
Mu Zhifu continued: "It's too late, and it's really inconvenient for us two women to go out. I had no choice but to pay him the money. But he suddenly fell ill, the pain was unbearable, and he fell to the ground.
I happen to have an ancestral secret recipe to cure his symptoms, but this medicine is worth 10,000 gold, and his entire net worth is only more than 3,000 taels of silver. I didn't agree to heal him, but I think he's pitiful......"
Hearing this, the corners of everyone's mouths twitched in unison. If you cheat someone for 3,000 taels and say that you are so miserable, there is no one left.
Xiao Jinche couldn't hold back and interrupted her: "Since you have promised to heal him, you have also received money." So why hasn't he recovered yet?"
Mu Zhifu hurriedly said: "I have already made the medicinal diet, but I haven't had time to give it to him yet." ”
"Then bring it to him quickly. "Healed him, and everyone could sleep. The prince rubbed his eyebrows.
"Okay, I'll go get it. Mu Zhifu went happily.
Soon he came back with red eyes.
Although it was dark and she was wearing a mask, she couldn't see very clearly. But it didn't affect everyone's helplessness and grievances at all.
"What's the matter, Zhifu. Lu Rongmu asked worriedly.
The crowd also looked at her.
Mu Zhifu pursed her lips and cried slightly: "Medicinal food, it's gone." ”
The third senior brother frowned: "What kind of medicinal diet, where did you put it?"
"After I made it, I put it in the food box on the top of the kitchen corner cabinet, and there were four dishes in it - fried fairy mushrooms with sliced meat, cold salad god tree buds, steamed dragon pork, and braised phoenix. And my small pot has boiled meatball god gourd soup in it. Mu Zhifu said.
Everyone: "......"
They seem to have eaten these dishes, but they are not medicinal food. Stir-fried mushrooms with sliced meat, cold vegetable sprouts, steamed sea bass, braised chicken nuggets, meatballs and winter melon soup.
Not only did I eat it, but it was delicious. But didn't Miss Yan do this?
Everyone looked at Yan Ruoxi one after another.
Yan Ruoxi's face turned pale instantly, and she lowered her head and took two steps back.
"Miss Yan, what's going on?" the prince asked in a deep voice.
He didn't believe that the dishes were medicated, and he hadn't eaten them. But regardless of whether those dishes are medicine or not, they did eat other people's things.
"This ...... I ......" Yan Ruoxi was stunned for a long time. "I probably got it wrong. ”
The fifth senior sister sneered and said disdainfully: "Those dishes were obviously served by you alone at the end, how could they be served wrong?"
As a child of the rivers and lakes, she hates these women who only play tricks and compete for favor.
"What's wrong, I think you just want to please the crown prince and brother, and you don't have that skill, so you stole other people's things. The thirteenth princess also choked.
Her own bad character does not affect her from blaming others.
Yan Ruoxi began to sob softly.
The prince turned his head in disgust and stopped looking at her.
He looked at Mu Zhifu: "A few of your dishes were indeed eaten by us by mistake." But don't tell this palace that this is the medicinal food worth 10,000 gold in your mouth, this palace is not a fool. ”
Mu Zhifu said with a serious face: "Your Highness, this is indeed the medicinal food that can cure the farmer's master." Because the material has been specially processed by me, it is really worth 10,000 gold. ”
"Nonsense!" Xiao Jinche slapped the table angrily.
"If Your Highness doesn't believe me, I can prove it to you. Mu Zhifu raised her little face, but the words changed: "It's just that medicinal materials cost money." ”
"How much?"
"Five thousand taels can't be lower. ”
Xiao Jin's eyes flashed: "Then what should you do if you hurt the guards of the palace?"
Mu Zhifu didn't give an inch: "I said, I didn't hurt His Highness's guards." I just want to advise Your Highness that your guards are not cultivated enough, and you need to strengthen their training. ”
Xiao Jinche smiled angrily: "How to strengthen training? If you can't tell me why today, don't blame the palace for being polite." ”
"Naturally, there is a way, and it is in this rainbow mountain. Mu Zhifu smiled mysteriously and told the story of looking for her sister, straying into the woods, and picking up the spiritual energy crystals.
The more the prince listened, the more serious his expression became, and the aura crystallization was not comparable to the life of a pariah. "You said you picked up a high-grade aura crystal, where is it? Take it to the palace to see. ”
Mu Zhifu looked at Xiao Jinwei and smiled faintly.
Xiao Jinwei only felt a chill on her back.
I only heard her say slowly: "I picked up a total of thirteen pieces, refined one by myself, and the rest were confiscated by the thirteenth princess, saying that this is a thing of Daliang and should belong to the royal family of Daliang." ”
If he was contemptuous and disgusted with Yan Ruoxi before, then Xiao Jinche's eyes were cold and murderous at this moment.
Superior Spiritual Qi Crystals can greatly increase cultivation, and the amount that the royal family can get every year is very limited. He, the crown prince, can only get two of them every year, and this palace maid actually dares to swallow twelve of them.
"I, I'm going to hand it over to the crown prince. Xiao Jinwei shuddered.
"Oh, then why haven't you taken it out yet?" the prince's gaze was substantial.
Xiao Jinwei hurriedly took out her pocket and handed it over. "I, I forgot for a moment. ”
Xiao Jinche took the pocket and opened it slowly, her eyes becoming even colder. "Why only ten?"
The thirteenth princess gave up her legs and knelt on the ground with a thud. "That's all. ”
"No way. Mu Zhifu frowned. "I opened it in the house before and showed it to everyone, and it was twelve. ”
She did open it for everyone to see, but the pocket was not big, and no one could tell the exact number of crystals piled together.
But there were a lot of people in the house at that time, and everyone thought they didn't see clearly, but someone always saw clearly. She said twelve, so she shouldn't be wrong. So there was no one to refute it.
The thirteenth princess was stunned all of a sudden, and she didn't know what to say.
Actually, it's useless for her to say it, Xiao Jinche won't believe it.
