154. Hermaphroditism
Wu Shiqing suddenly turned around and shook her head vigorously while retreating: "I don't know, I don't know if there is poison in this fish, I, I'm just talking about it casually." ”
The prince glared at her angrily: "You don't know? You don't know how to rush over so nervously? ”
Ning Xi arched his hand towards the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, please rest assured, this puffer fish is not poisonous, and Xiao Shizi will be fine." However, this puffer fish does have something else in its body, and if it is not a folk girl today, but any other chef, I am afraid that it will accidentally fall into this way. ”
Wu Shiqing glared at Ning Xi angrily: "This is clearly an ordinary puffer fish, do you think that if you are so alarmist, the emperor will not investigate your fault?" She hid the uneasiness in her heart with a fierce look, could it be that she really saw something?
Ning Xi smiled: "Lord Qing's words are strange, I don't know where the people's daughter is wrong?" On the contrary, the Qing County Lord is so abnormal, I'm afraid it's a weak heart, right? ”
"Hmph, I'm weak-hearted? Why should I have a weak heart? ”
"Then it depends on where the puffer fish of Lord Qing got it from!" After speaking, Ning Xi turned to the emperor and said: "Ordinary puffer fish, either male porpoise or female porpoise, but this puffer fish is different, it is hermaphroditic, and the highly poisonous ovaries are wrapped in a non-toxic sperm nest, most people think that this is a male dolphin, and if they don't notice it for a while, they will cook the sperm nest wrapped with highly toxic ovaries and fish meat, and they don't understand why they are poisoned until they die." Therefore, the people asked the emperor to thoroughly investigate the source of this peculiar puffer fish, so that no one would be harmed by it in the future. ”
"Haha!" Wu Shiqing smiled sharply, "What you said is so strange, even if this puffer fish is hermaphroditic, who can see it before it is dissected?" It's too far-fetched to use this as an excuse for someone else's intention to harm you. ”
Originally, Ning Xi really thought so, and it was difficult to pick one of the hermaphroditic puffer fish, not to mention that it couldn't be seen from the appearance at all, who could know if the one in his hand was androgynous?
But Wu Shiqing just took out a hermaphroditic puffer fish to harm Ning Xi in her two lives, so that Ning Xi had to wonder if she must have some special source to ensure that the one she brought up must be a hermaphroditic pufferfish.
"Whether it's or not, you'll find out when you look it up." Jun Qianyu said lightly.
"Just check, who is afraid of whom!" Wu Shiqing admits that she has done this secretly, but she is not very worried, what makes her even more angry is that this time Ning Xi actually did not get hit, this time she escaped, it will not be so easy to hurt her in the future, "It's you, as a chef who makes puffer fish, not only did you not taste it yourself, but also negligently let Xiao Shizi eat it, it's okay, if something really happens, can you afford this crime?" ”
"Your Majesty, what this woman has done is not worthy of being a chef at all, Qing'er thinks that this woman's chef qualification should be withdrawn and the business qualification of Sungai Building should be banned, so that she can learn a lesson!"
This is a bit of a public outrage, which of the young talents here has never been to Sungai House to taste the delicious? If Sungai House is closed, where will they go to eat such delicious things in the future? Suddenly, everyone looked at Wu Shiqing's eyes and became a little dissatisfied.
The second prince suddenly said: "The gambling contract that Cousin Qing said at the beginning, I don't know if it counts?" ”
Wu Shiqing casually shook off a sentence angrily: "What kind of bet?" ”
"If this woman surnamed Ning can make delicious and non-poisonous pufferfish, Cousin Qing will voluntarily marry the prince's bet. The prince heard that the little prince of the prince's family is the most picky eater, but at this moment, he can't let go of the puffer fish made by Miss Ning, which is undoubtedly delicious. As he spoke, the second prince pointed to the little prince in the prince's arms, the little doll like a pink ball is now twisting and twisting in the prince's arms, and the little fat finger pointed to the pot of puffer fish on the table and wanted to eat it!
"Besides, Xiao Shizi has been eating puffer fish for a long time, and he is still safe and sound, and the four words delicious and non-toxic seem to have been implemented, so when will Cousin Qing's promise be fulfilled?"
Wu Shiqing glanced at him arrogantly, and didn't look at what she looked like, and the fat toad like this also wanted to eat swan meat, and said in her mouth: "What I said clearly was to let Ning Xi eat the puffer fish she made herself, she didn't eat it at all, what to implement?" ”
Ning Xi immediately said from the goodness: "I'll eat it." He took a small bowl and scooped up a spoonful of puffer fish meat, swallowed it in a few bites, and turned the empty bowl towards Wu Shiqing, blinking innocently.
Wu Shiqing stomped her feet angrily: "This is simply a trick!" ”
The second prince pretended to be pitiful: "I beg my father to look at the face of the mother concubine who died early, and pity the son-in-law this time, and make the decision for the son-in-law." ”
I didn't expect him to suddenly mention the imperial concubine who died in the Seven Absolute Sects Rebellion not long ago, and the emperor was also rarely silent, the delicate and beautiful figure of the imperial concubine lingered in his mind, and then looked at the unrecognizable second prince in front of him, the emperor's heart softened, and he was about to say yes.
Wu Shiqing suddenly knelt down towards the vague figure behind the bead curtain: "Grandmother, Queen Mother, you have to be the master for Qing'er, Qing'er's mother loves Qing'er the most, do you want to make your mother sad?" ”
As soon as the emperor heard her mention Princess Changning, he had a headache, waved his hand and said, "That's it, I will discuss this matter with the Queen Mother later." He turned back to the second prince and said, "Don't worry, I won't treat you badly." ”
At the beginning of this excitement, it was a little interesting, but later it involved some dirty intrigues, and it was not interesting, the emperor rubbed his forehead, and was a little sleepy and was about to announce the dispersal, when suddenly the chief eunuch beside him shook the dust on his hand, walked briskly to the emperor with small steps, leaned over and whispered a few words in his ear.
The emperor glanced at Wu Shiqing strangely: "So fast? Summon, this matter is related to the life of the emperor's heir, and it is better to get to the bottom as soon as possible. ”
Wu Shiqing only felt that the emperor's eyes were cold and sharp, which frightened her whole body, but she didn't understand why.
Until the thin man who should have rotted in the mass grave and his bones were eaten by wild dogs was lifted up alive, Wu Shiqing's legs suddenly became weak, and she couldn't get up when she sat on the cold and hard ground.
Behind the terrifying man who was carried in, striding in was the prince of Qi who was satisfied and smiling with a bad face, Jun Shaofeng.
Jun Shaofeng first saluted the emperor and the princes, and finally turned around and winked at Jun Qianyu, and said with his mouth: "Fortunately, I have not disgraced my mission." ”
Jun Qianyu glared at him expressionlessly: "It's late." He sensed Wu Shiqing's ill intentions early on, and he would definitely find an opportunity to make some moths, so he asked Jun Shaofeng to arrange for people to keep an eye on her early, and if he found any unusual movements in her, he quickly sued him.
But this time Wu Shiqing suddenly attacked, but Jun Shaofeng didn't have any news from his side, if it wasn't for Ning Xi being careful enough to discover the secret inside the puffer fish, at this time, the corpse on the spot would not know if it was him Jun Qianyu, or Ning Xi, or the little son of the prince's family.
Ning Xi's eyes widened, looked at Jun Qianyu, and then at Jun Shaofeng, probably understood, no wonder she said that today, on the occasion of the gathering of young talents from the entire capital, she couldn't see him, and she didn't know what reason he found to be able not to participate.
Jun Shaofeng glanced at Jun Qianyu aggrievedly, cleared his throat, and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, Wechen accidentally found out yesterday that this person sent a puffer fish into the palace to Lord Qing, this matter is also ordinary, and Wechen didn't take it too seriously. ”
Hearing this, Jun Qianyu glared at him fiercely again, do you think this matter can be concealed and not reported?
Jun Shaofeng thought aggrievedly in his heart, this person is really difficult to serve, he used everything before, big or small, and he was well disciplined and said that he didn't know the severity, but now he just wants to find out what is going on, and then he will be blamed.
I was aggrieved in my heart, but I didn't dare to show it on my face, so I only continued: "Who knew that today this person was actually found lying on a mass grave in the northern suburbs of the city, the description was extremely terrifying, his eyes were gouged out, his hands were also chopped off, and when he was found, there was only one breath left, Weichen hurriedly asked Mingbao to save this person's life, and when he wanted to ask for details, he found that his throat was also poisoned. ”
When he said this, there was an exclamation behind the bead curtain, and there were constant whispers in the hall, and the people who did this kind of thing were too vicious, the Great Zhou Dynasty enjoyed many years of peace and prosperity, and the capital was in good order, and even half of the murder cases were rarely heard, not to mention this kind of vicious method of killing people and killing people.
Feeling Jun Qianyu's increasingly cold gaze, Jun Shaofeng half replied to the emperor, and half also explained to Jun Qianyu: "Weichen was shocked at the time, knowing that this matter is not trivial, for fear of delaying time and missing things, he immediately investigated the matter in person, although the person in front of him couldn't speak or write, but the resentment in his heart made him struggle to draw out the names of several people with his toes, and Weichen immediately ordered someone to investigate these people, and finally followed the vine. It turned out that the puffer fish was transported from a remote and unknown small mountain village in Xiangxi to the capital, and there were a total of five of them transported at that time, two of which were instructed by the lord of Qingjun, and they had found two famous chefs in the south to make puffer fish, and the result was that according to the rules, the two chefs died when they tasted the first puffer fish in their own mouths. ”
In the surprised eyes of everyone, Jun Shaofeng continued: "Those two chefs have experienced countless puffer fish, and they have never had an accident, why do they all fold on this puffer fish brought by Lord Qing at the same time?" Weichen thought that there must be an unknown secret in this pufferfish, thinking that the lord of Qingjun had taken one into the palace, so he hurried back, but he didn't expect it to be a step late, fortunately it didn't cause worse consequences, otherwise Weichen really couldn't excuse his guilt! ”
The prince was also afraid for a while when he heard this, hugged the little prince in his arms tightly, and glared at Wu Shiqing angrily: "What other explanation do you have?" ”
The emperor's eyes were like torches, staring at Wu Shiqing: "For the sake of Princess Changning's face, I will give you one last chance to explain, you say, what is going on?" ”
