Chapter 44 The Secret of the Concubine

"You are really, it is very dangerous for you to act privately, when my father comes back, you tell him the clue and let him arrange it, you don't do such a dangerous thing in the future."

"It's Zijie, it's not thoughtful."

"I know you really want to get to the bottom of things now, but you can't put yourself and Miss Wang in danger, you still have to do what you can."

"Yes, Zijie should pay attention."

"Zijie, Haotian, I'm back." General Yang hurriedly entered the study.

"General Yang, how are things?" Xu Zijie couldn't wait to ask.

"The palace is now under full martial law, all personnel are not allowed to enter and exit, only Concubine Hui is injured at present, Miss Wang is not only fine, but the emperor also rewarded her."

"Reward?" Yang Haotian wondered.

"It's no surprise that she often surprises people." Xu Zijie said.

"Yes! Miss Wang presented a map to the emperor this time, and the dragon face is happy! ”

"What kind of map can make the emperor so happy?" Yang Haotian asked.

"I don't know yet."

"It seems that we will only know when Miss Wang comes out of the palace." Yang Haotian said with a smile.

Yang Haotian looked at Xu Zijie, Xu Zijie stepped forward and said to General Yang: "General Yang, Zijie has something to confess to you. ”

"Zijie, please speak."

"I found new clues about my father's case."

"That's great, tell me what the clue is."

"Wan'er and I visited Ning's Mansion at night and found that Lord Ning's death was not as sick and dead as it seemed on the surface, but was hit by Gu."

"Gu? Isn't this Gu used only by women in the Yu family? ”

"Yes, so we also find it strange, so we go to monitor the Ning Mansion every night, especially Mrs. Ning."

"Mrs. Ning?"

"Yes, originally Wan'er said that she had something to tell me before entering the palace today, maybe she found something yesterday, but now she is in the palace, and she can only know what it is when she comes out."

General Yang nodded, "Since there is a clue, then I will start the investigation." ”

"I'm going to bother General Yang again." Xu Zijie waved his hands and thanked him.

"Hey, you don't have to talk to me about this, the most important thing now is to find out the truth and give your father a clean slate."

At this time, I was tossing and turning in the palace and couldn't sleep, thinking about the tattoo on Mrs. Ning's waist, a bit like a leaf, and a bit like an animal or an insect. And what does this tattoo represent? Organization or family? Gu, the Yu family, could it be that Mrs. Ning is a member of the Yu family? Thinking of this, I'm a spirit, the whole person is not good, now Xu Zijie must still be spying on Mrs. Ning, it's too dangerous, the other party is a woman who can use Gu, I originally thought it was someone else's Gu for her, but now that I think about it, it's too simple for me to think about it. Now I can't go out, and I can't spread the news, so I can only pray that Xu Zijie will be fine. I didn't sleep well all night, and the next day I had a pair of panda eyes, and the fifth princess saw it and asked me: "Sister Wan'er, didn't you sleep well last night?" Isn't it unaccustomed? ”

"It's not that I'm not used to it, it's that I miss my parents, so I can't sleep."

"I see."

"I wonder how things are going today?"

"If you want to solve the matter now, someone can only take the blame." The fifth princess said helplessly.

After breakfast, the fifth princess went to the church, because it was the Royal Academy, I couldn't go, so I had to stay in the imperial garden. The Royal Guards are divided into several groups, constantly patrolling, hey, what's the use of patrolling, there are no assassins in the first place. Just when I was bored and lazy, I saw a palace maid walking briskly to the north in a panic, and I quietly followed her.

She came to an abandoned palace in the northernmost part of the palace, which was overgrown with weeds, and I went straight to the roof with light skills to watch her every move. I saw her take out a small package from her bosom, bury it under a tree, and after confirming that there was no one around, she turned to leave.

I immediately came down and turned it out, and when I saw it, it was filthy, and there was an embryo in it. Who does this palace maid have an affair with, and she also has a fetus, it's not like it! Walking like flying, the complexion does not look like a tire. I immediately buried it and went after the palace maid, but the palace maid didn't know where she went. When I didn't know where to go, I saw Xiao Xizi, so I described the palace maid and asked him, and learned that the palace maid was the personal palace maid next to Hui Concubine Niangniang.

The personal palace maid next to Hui Concubine, Hui Concubine was injured yesterday, and today this palace maid buried this, this matter is getting more and more complicated. Whose buried thing really is? Should I check it out or not? In this palace, I am just a person who they can kill at any time, and I am afraid that the more I investigate, the bigger the matter will be, and when the time comes, I will be unable to control the situation, and I will be involved in it and become a pawn in their struggle for power and profit.

Thinking while walking, I unconsciously walked to the Qinsi Hall where Hui Concubine lived, since I came, I went in to take a look, just take a look. Walking into the Qinsi Palace, a palace maid came over, "Who are you and how did you come to the Qinsi Palace." ”

"I'm the royal storyteller, and I'm here to visit Concubine Hui."

"Go, go, go, Hui Concubine Niang Niangqi is what you want to see, you can see it." The palace maid drove me away with a look of disdain.

Isn't that the kind of person you say? "Presumptuous, I am a seven-grade official given by the emperor Chrysostom, and Qi is something that you can reprimand as a minion." At this time, there is still a bit of official genealogy to suppress these people.

"Your Excellency is angry, but the slave and maid don't know." The palace maid was so frightened that she knelt down and kowtowed.

I wanted to talk to you in a good voice, but you just want to fight people, I don't give you a dismount, you still treat me as a sick cat, you can bully me at will. "Alright, get up! I don't want to embarrass you either. How is Concubine Hui? ”

"If you go back to your adult, my mother has shed a lot of blood and is now recuperating."

"That thief is so ruthless?" I feigned surprise and said.

"But no, last night when I saw a basin of blood water going out, I was scared to death, I thought my mother was dead!"

"That lady is going to have a good life and recuperate."

"Yes, so Sister Jade said that Concubine Hui Niangniang ordered her to come down, and no one should disturb Niangniang's cultivation, and no one should be seen."

"I know, then I won't bother, let's go first."

"Slow down, adults."

It seems that the buried thing is Hui Concubine's mother's, big news! Hui Concubine has an affair with someone, wow! I don't know the man's queen mother, I feel a chill on my back, and I touched my neck, I'd better pretend not to know about this matter, otherwise it's very likely that I will die mysteriously tonight.

Seeing that it was about to be noon, I was a little hungry, according to what I inquired about at Concubine Yu that day, I walked to the imperial dining room, and the imperial dining room will prepare the dishes reported every day, and no one told me today, where are you going to eat? I can't enter or leave the space at will in the palace, and if I am seen, they will burn me as a monster. Although there are fruits in the space, the fruits are not enough! The fifth prince will not be back until the afternoon, so I will have to try my luck, the main thing is that I want to eat venison.

After coming to the imperial dining room, the people inside were busy preparing meals for each palace. I took a closer look, and there were 6 cooks in charge, 5 people were on the cutting board, 4 people were washing the dishes, and a few people were walking around, putting the dishes on the plates and putting them in the food box.

I went up to the roof, lifted the bricks, secretly got a thread, threaded a needle in front of me, aimed at the target, shot quickly, hit the target with the flying needle, and retracted the thread with all my might, and the thing was in hand. I didn't ask for much, I made a few pastries, a chicken leg, a piece of venison, and I was full, and I didn't forget to burp.

Just as I was about to leave the imperial dining room, a eunuch hurriedly ran over and said, "The sixth prince said that you are cooking and burning, just a few dishes, you are tired of eating, let you get some new tricks." ”

These imperial chefs, you look at me, I look at you, since they entered the palace, they have all cooked these dishes, and where did they cook other dishes. The six princes know that if they can't satisfy him, they won't have a good life in the future. I see that they are so helpless, but I just stole their food, so let's help them!

I got down from the roof and walked in through the doorway, "Maybe I can help you." ”

"Who are you? How did you come to the Imperial Dining Room? ”

"I'm a storyteller, I just passed by the front, I know the six princes, and I'm not satisfied with these dishes, so I specially came to take a look."

"Just you little girl, don't get in the way here, even if it's a help." One of the chefs said.

"Even if you know how to cook it, but you are so small, what good dishes can you cook, the six princes have not eaten anything, so don't make a mess here." The other chef continued.

"Hey, don't bully the young man to be poor!" I deliberately dragged out my voice.

At this time, one of the imperial chefs whispered to the other imperial chefs: "If you don't let her try it, if it doesn't work, the six princes will blame her, and we will push her out." The other chefs nodded their heads.

When I can't hear them, they are discussing how to put me on stage, and I will go, no matter what era it is, good people can't do it! Forget it, since they have all stood up, good people will do it to the end.

"Have you discussed it, just forget it, I'm too lazy to do it!" After saying that, he turned around and left.

"Slow, slow." An imperial chef hurriedly ran up to me, "Aren't we discussing, if we don't discuss it, it's up to you to get it." ”

"If you want me to burn it, you have to give me a hand." I looked at them.

"Okay, we'll give you a hand, then you can get started!"

I began to choose the ingredients, and the six princes usually eat should be exquisite dishes, and there should be very few irritating foods. Then I'll boil him a boiled fish, a saliva chicken, a boiled cabbage heart, and a shredded banana for dessert. After picking the ingredients, I asked them to deal with them according to my instructions, and when they were ready, I began to cook the dishes, the first thing I prepared was saliva chicken, which was a cold dish, and I was not afraid to put it when it was ready. Wash the hemp chicken and put it in cold water, ginger slices, green onions, an appropriate amount of peppercorns, turn to low heat and cook for five minutes after boiling, simmer on the fire, about fifteen minutes, poke the last part of the chicken leg with chopsticks, see if the chicken is ripe, and take it out and put it in ice water to soak in the cold. Wash the pot, add a little oil to stir-fry the peppercorns, remove them after the heat is fragrant, scoop a small spoon into the bowl with chili powder and mix evenly, continue to heat the remaining oil, turn off the heat when it smokes, pour in the chili powder, mix well, and then add minced garlic, light soy sauce, chicken broth, balsamic vinegar, and salt to make juice. Stir-fry peanuts until fragrant, remove clothes and crush them, and stir-fry sesame seeds for later use. Remove the chicken and put it on a plate, pour in the sauce, sprinkle with chopped peanuts and sesame seeds, sprinkle with chopped green onions, and the dish is complete.
