In the kitchen,

Bai Xiyue saw that he was very skilled in handling the fish, and he couldn't say anything suspicious.

"Lord Wang, you really know how to make fish!" She was a little surprised, how to look at a pampered prince, all of them follow the smoky kitchen, this feeling is like seeing a fairy playing with mud.

"Why, this king looks like a man who can't cook." He raised an eyebrow and asked.

Bai Xiyue didn't even think about blurting out, "I thought that people like you who were born in the emperor's family were all ten fingers that don't touch the spring water." ”

Gu Yichen's hand holding the thing paused, and then said calmly: "This king was exiled to the border when he was nine years old, if you want to live, you must first fill your stomach, and I learned it at that time." ”

The two sentences he understated brought over the bitter cold of several years at the border.

She realized that she had said the wrong thing, and she was a little panicked, he should have lived a very painful life at the border for so many years, not only to endure the humiliation, but also to bear the charge of killing the former emperor by his mother.

It's really ,,, to say such things without checking it at this time

"Lord Wang, I didn't mean to mention your sadness, I just ,,," Bai Xiyue didn't know how to explain, she could just ask inadvertently, no matter how she listened to it, it was very insincere.

Gu Yichen looked at her tangled appearance, smiled lightly, and said in a relaxed tone: "It's okay, when this king was exiled, he was only five years old, where would he know these things, those who don't know are not guilty, what are you doing so nervously." ”

Bai Xiyue lowered her head and didn't speak, she knew, she knew everything, she knew the death of the first emperor, she knew that Concubine Rou was framed, and she also knew how the current emperor ascended the throne step by step, and she also knew that he was poisoned and his legs were wasted, who gave the medicine.

Seeing that she hadn't spoken, Gu Yichen thought she was still feeling guilty, wiped the blood stains on her hands with a handkerchief, stretched out her hand to hug her, and said in a softer voice: "This king said it's okay, why are you still sullen." ”

Bai Xiyue also hugged him tightly, burying her whole face in his arms.

This kind of action made Gu Yichen a little surprised, it was rare to see such a soft side of her, and for a while, she was a little at a loss.

"Gu Yichen!" She spoke suddenly, and her voice was not very clear.

"Hmm."

"I feel sorry for you, I'm sorry for you." At this time, she realized that a small act she made changed his entire life, and if he hadn't been poisoned, he would have been in that position by now.

"It's not your fault, and you don't have to blame yourself." He had some doubts in his heart, she was not such a fragile person, and she should not be so guilty because of a wrong word.

The past had already happened, and it was useless to say anything now, and she secretly made up her mind in her heart that she must send him to that position before leaving, so that everything could return to square one.

The two hugged for a long time, until someone's stomach screamed out of place.

Gu Yichen chuckled and let go of her, "You wait next to you, I'll be fine soon." ”

said, back to busy, Bai Xiyue had also cooked before, and helped him on the side, the scene looked particularly warm and harmonious.

After a while, a dish of steamed turbot fish with all the color and flavor was baked.

"Here, how about it taste." He raised his hand and handed the chopsticks over.

Bai Xiyue picked out a little fish, tasted it, and felt that it did taste different from other fish I had eaten before, this steamed fish, the taste is more delicious, the meat is soft and tender, and the heat is just right, it is indeed delicious.

"Lord, what you make is better than what those chefs make. Bai Xiyue praised without hesitation.

"I saw the master's reaction before, and I thought you would make it very unpalatable, and when it is served out, they will definitely be surprised."

With that, Bai Xiyue took the plate out, and when everyone saw them coming out, they all looked over.

The sky was a little dark, and Lin Zi'an was far away, so he couldn't see the contents of the plate clearly, so he said without any scruples: "Lord Wang, should you really bring a plate of charcoal-grilled fish?" ”

However, the slap in the face always came very suddenly, when Bai Xiyue put the plate on the table, what everyone saw was indeed a plate of steamed fish with beautiful color and fragrance, but it was impossible to see anything just by looking at the appearance, and whether it was delicious or not had to be tasted to know.

In order to save a little face, Lin Zi'an was ready to try it first, but he picked up the chopsticks, picked a little fish and put it in his mouth, and after chewing twice, his expression was stunned.

The others were still looking forward to his reaction, and seeing that he was slow to speak, Wei Qing asked, "How is it, do you have something to say, is this fish delicious or not?" ”

Lin Zi'an put down his chopsticks and replied to him, "I want to know if I taste it." ”

This can be regarded as arousing the curiosity of others, Wei Qing also tasted it, and exclaimed: "Lord Wang, when did you secretly practice this craft, it is even better than what the chef makes." ”

When Mu Changfeng heard this, he still maintained his demeanor, and even tasted the plate of fish, and then said pertinently: "The regent's cooking is indeed delicious, and this craftsmanship is already comparable to that of the chefs in the southern realm." ”

Gu Yichen glanced at him and didn't speak, this fish was made for Xiyue to eat, and he was quite conscious.

The people here were happy, there were two figures in the dark corner, Su Linger stared at them directly, without saying a word.

Gu Wei appeared behind her and said in a demagogic tone: "See, as long as Bai Xiyue is here, the regent will never look at you more, if you want to take the throne, you must get rid of her." ”

"Take this powder, do as I say, and I promise she'll disappear in front of you completely."

Gu Wei didn't know where she would go, and the mysterious man didn't say anything about the rest of the matter, just need to do this, don't use the rest of the story, don't care about it, anyway, Bai Xiyue will never come back.

"But," At this time, Su Ling'er hesitated, she wanted to get rid of Bai Xiyue, but this kind of thing was too dangerous, if the regent knew about it, even if she wouldn't be killed, she wouldn't have a good time in the future.

At this time, she suddenly reacted, turned her head and glared at Gu Wei, "Since this medicine powder is so powerful, why don't you go over yourself, but you come to encourage me, what kind of heart do you have." ”

Gu Wei was stunned for a moment, she didn't expect this stupid person to have a time to open up now, but she had already thought of a reason, "My brother hurt Bai Xiyue before, and she will naturally be wary of me, so it will not be easy for me to start, but you are different, she will not guard against you." ”

Su Ling'er still felt that something was wrong, but how could Gu Wei give her a chance to think more.

"If you continue to hesitate like this, when they find a way to solve the Gu, you will have no value, and then you will end up worse than now."

Su Ling'er clenched the medicinal powder in her hand and made up her mind, but as soon as she took a step, the hull of the boat shook violently, she stumbled and almost fell to the ground.

"What's going on!"

Gu Yichen also felt the abnormality, and immediately asked the dark guards to check, and after a while, the dark guards returned.

"Lord Wang, there are a lot of unknown ships around, they have pulled our ship with tools, and now it seems that they are ready to board the ship, what should I do!"

The others stood up instantly when they heard this, but they were not very flustered, they had experienced so many things before, and they were not too afraid of sudden accidents.

"Send men on either side of the boat and shoot arrows at them." Gu Yichen calmly commanded.

"Yes!" Hurry up, the Secret Guards are soon, and they are all in place.

Wei Qing looked at the surrounding ships and frowned, "Lord Wang, have we encountered water thieves?" ”

"They are indeed water thieves, and now we have driven to a relatively gentle area, which is the best place for them to rob ships, because the water is gentle, but it is relatively deep, and there are no strange creatures around, and most people will let their guard down, and they will take advantage of it."

Mu Changfeng explained that he had long expected to encounter water thieves, so he had already made preparations, and there was no need to panic too much now.

"Mu Gongzi, when you went to sea before, did you meet them, and how did you get rid of them at that time?" Lin Zi'an asked.

In the past, if he was alone, he wouldn't worry about these things at all, but now it's different, he found Yu Yao, he didn't want her to be hurt a little, so he naturally had to be prepared for unknown dangers.

"Doctor Lin doesn't have to worry, my son-in-law often encounters this kind of thing, this ship has been equipped with the tools of waterproof thieves, don't look at them are very arrogant now, in fact, they can't get close to us at all." Xiao Mu answered first, Childe's situation has become worse and worse in recent days, he can still speak calmly now, all by forbearance, some unnecessary words, or don't say it.

Wei Wan also took out a bow and arrow from the cabin, aimed at the boat on the sea, and shot at the person in front, only to fall down there instantly, which shows that her archery ability is still very good.

Seeing that they had been discovered, the water thieves became even more unscrupulous, and simply lit torches directly, and quickly approached their boats, and at the same time, the three tiger claws were also thrown over one by one, firmly grasping the side of the boat, and the position they threw was very clever, and it was impossible to cut it off by manpower alone.

You can only beat the people on the rope one by one, which is not only time-consuming and laborious, but also easy to get injured.

Su Ling'er and Gu Yuyao hid aside, and they looked at those people with some fear.

Su Ling'er asked in a panic: "These people, are they the people you contacted, why did they come to arrest Bai Xiyue so soon." ”

Gu Wei was also very confused, the person only gave her a packet of medicinal powder, and asked her to use it according to what he said, but he didn't say what would happen next, and now the medicinal powder is useless, why did they come over.

Gu Wei felt a little strange, and carefully observed those people, only then did she realize the clue, she breathed a sigh of relief, "It's not that person, these people should just be water thieves, what are you doing in such a panic." ”

She wasn't scared just now, but when Su Ling'er called her like this, she panicked in her heart, and now she found the true face of those people, patted the dust on her body, and stood up again.

"What is there to be afraid of, these rabble, they can't do anything at all, you see, they just can't even get on this boat, don't pay attention. ”

After saying that, she walked out, at this time hiding in the corner, is the most dangerous, she has to stand by the regent's side, even if the two of them do not protect her, they will always protect the regent, in this way, it can be regarded as inheriting his light.

"Hey, you wait for me, why don't you say let's go." Don't look at Su Ling'er's boldness in others, in fact, when she encounters these things, she is still very scared, no matter how she says, she was once just a delicate lady, where did she suffer so much.

The two of them walked quickly to the side of the regent, Bai Xiyue noticed them, turned her head to look, Su Ling'er saw her looking over, the expression on her face returned to normal, and she still looked gentle and calm.

But Bai Xiyue's eyes were not on her face, but on what seemed to be dragging something in her hand, and her intuition told her that it was not a good thing, and when she wanted to see it carefully, she saw Gu Wei next to her saying something in her ear. Su Linger hid the things in her hand in a panic.
