Chapter 199: Attitude Gap
Mrs. Jane?
The only time they met was unhappy, and Mingxiu really didn't have much of a good impression of this Concubine Zhen.
But who made her Xie Zhan's mother?
Since realizing that he had misunderstood Xie Zhan, Mingxiu had raised expectations for him again.
As long as they have it, Concubine Zhen's affairs will not be able to pass Mingxiu.
Originally, she was thinking that after her relationship with Xie Zhan became clear, she would find a suitable time to meet Concubine Zhen.
But now is definitely not the time.
The relationship with Xie Zhan has not been clarified, and now he is striding to see Concubine Zhen, which can only be self-defeating.
Seeing that Mingxiu didn't speak, Hou Han was not in a hurry.
Quietly waiting by the side.
Whether it is out of selfishness, or from the friendship that has watched Xie Zhan grow up since childhood, Hou Han thinks that Xie Zhan and Mingxiu can have lovers and eventually become married.
In this case, the relationship between Mingxiu and Concubine Zhen is destined to ease.
Let's not talk about how hot it is, but at least we can't get tired of each other.
Seeing that he was delaying his departure, Mingxiu could guess a little bit of Hou Han's careful thoughts.
She chuckled: "Father-in-law Hou really knows the things in the harem. ”
When the first emperor was alive, no matter how Hou Han controlled the harem, it was the first emperor's tacit acquiescence both openly and secretly.
But now, once a son of heaven and a courtier.
The new emperor does not have a harem, but Hou Han has been in contact with the concubines of the former emperor of the harem.
It's a delicate and sensitive matter.
At least in the ears of people like Hou Han, Mingxiu's words have a different meaning.
He didn't dare to have the slightest delay, and said helplessly with a bitter face: "The old slave can learn from the heart of the saint, and the county lord's words are punishing, since you don't want to see Concubine Zhen, the old slave will pass the word." ”
No longer stayed in front of Mingxiu, Hou Hanji retired.
His attitude......
Mingxiu frowned, feeling a little uncomfortable, but quickly let go.
People are not begging for a living under her.
As an old man who served the emperors of the two dynasties and a eunuch commander, Hou Han was very decent in the palace.
Even those adults in high positions are polite to Hou Han, even if it is Xie Zhan, he doesn't say how respectful he is to Hou Han, but there is kindness on his face.
Maybe it was because Hou Han was too close and respectful to Mingxiu before, so he showed a little dissatisfaction at this time, which was already very obvious.
But in the final analysis, Mingxiu is not a great character, why should Hou Han be polite to her?
The truth is that it is very uncomfortable, but Mingxiu is uncomfortable for a moment and then lets go.
He said that he didn't care, but he left a little seed of dissatisfaction in his heart.
But Mingxiu has never been a person who will declare her joy and anger, she didn't show anything on her face, and she was still as polite to Hou Han as ever.
Xie Zhan's ability passed, and he quickly found out a few suspects and asked them to be taken down for interrogation.
At the same time, when looking for the suspect, he also had some guesses about the methods of the poisoner.
"You say you never left while making snacks, and no one behaved suspiciously?"
"yes." Mingxiu is a little confused, so, didn't she tell him a long time ago?
Realizing something in his heart, Mingxiu pulled him tightly, "Is there any progress?" Find out what kind of poison is in the pastry? ”
It's not Mingxiu complaining, the hands and feet of the imperial doctor in the palace are too slow, Xie Zhan has even begun to investigate the suspects one by one, but the imperial doctor who got the sample first hasn't even figured out what kind of poison is in it.
Is it too cautious, or is it that the methods of the imperial doctor are not working?
"It is not clear what it is, but it is certain that it is a potent poison."
Nonsense, you can know this without saying it, just look at the fate of the little eunuch who tested for drugs.
Mingxiu had a faint disgust in her eyes.
As long as Mingxiu was present, Xie Zhan's mind was firmly on her, not to mention that Mingxiu's expression was not hidden this time.
Touching his nose a little embarrassed, Xie Zhan sneered: "It may also be that the imperial doctor in the palace is not very good at poison, I have already sent someone to find a doctor outside the palace, and there should be a conclusion soon." ”
“…… What do you do with a doctor for a drug test? Find a master of using drugs! ”
Could it be that the little eunuch could be saved?
Even if there is no separation between medicine and poison, but there is a specialization in the art industry, and people who specialize in poison art naturally know more about poison than doctors who are dedicated to studying medicine.
Usually Xie Zhan looks quite shrewd, why is he slow to react at this time?
Xie Zhan couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, he really didn't expect this stubble.
"That's right, it's the right thing to do to find a master of using drugs."
Leaving such a sentence, he hurriedly ran outside, seemingly asking people to find a drug master again.
Well, if this trend continues, don't think about resting tonight.
Mingxiu sighed, sat down as if he had no bones, and lazily supported his chin and closed his eyes to recuperate.
In fact, Xie Zhan's investigation of the case has nothing to do with her in the final analysis, she was locked up in the palace from the perspective of a suspect.
It's just that no suspect has Mingxiu's treatment well.
Even though Mingxiu is already a little impatient now, she is not unaware of the seriousness, and if she wants to leave now, there will be a lot of trouble in the future.
Mingxiu is reasonable, which does not mean that Xie Zhan will wronged her.
It was dark and sunk, and soon someone prepared dinner for Mingxiu, and there was a palace arranged for her to rest.
The treatment is a few points better than that of ordinary guests who come to the palace.
To Mingxiu's surprise, the courtyard where she was temporarily housed turned out to be so close to the emperor's palace.
This should be arranged for the emperor's concubines, right?
Looking at the decoration, it is still the more favored one.
The little palace maid who was arranged to serve Mingxiu also confirmed this.
"You are the prince's honored guest, who dares to embarrass you, this was originally the residence of Concubine Zhen, and it was a special case for the emperor!"
Don't look at the young palace maid, in fact, she has lived in the palace for many years and knows a lot of palace secrets.
It's impossible to talk to Mingxiu about what secrets are revealed, but some common sense for the palace can be said.
For example, this palace was originally built for concubines of the noble concubine grade, and Concubine Zhen was only a concubine until the death of the first emperor, but she was able to live in such a palace by leaping over the level, and the first emperor favored Concubine Zhen.
Mingxiu didn't want to listen to Concubine Zhen's gossip, so the little palace maid only opened her head, and she showed a tired look.
Isn't it tired, every day, she only made twenty catties of snacks during the day, but the results are not over, and she didn't send out the palace after the snacks were poisoned, let alone rest.
Although Xie Zhan took care of it, he was a little frightened in his heart.
Sometimes the hard work is more tiring than the hard work.
The little palace maid was not blind, and when she saw that Mingxiu was tired, she quickly retired.
In the bedroom, only Mingxiu and Egret were left.
At this time, the egret was able to breathe a sigh of relief, "The rules in the palace are really big, but they frighten people." ”
It's not the first time she has entered the palace with Mingxiu, but in today's situation, let alone an egret, even Mingxiu is the first time to see her.
Mingxiu is confident that it will be fine, but the egret doesn't know.
I've been scared all day, and I haven't been able to recover yet.
"You can sit down and rest." Glancing at the chair next to her, the egret is the girl who has been with her for the longest time after all, and the friendship between master and servant is not how deep it is, but there are a few points.
All day today, the egret didn't say how good it was, but he was always cautious in his words and deeds, adhering to the heart that even if he couldn't help his master, he would never cause trouble to his master, and he refused to say a word.
But even if you haven't done anything, you still have to pay attention to your demeanor all day long, won't you get tired?
Mingxiu can still sit down and rest for a while from time to time, but she is too tired, let alone an egret?
She is very considerate to the girls, so the egret did not shirk.
stepped forward, sat under Mingxiu's hands, and didn't forget to help serve the plate and hand the handkerchief when she was eating snacks.
It's just that seeing Mingxiu eating so sweetly, Bailu's face became a little incomprehensible, "County Lord, you better eat less dim sum in the palace." "It's better to be careful.
What's more, Egret thinks that the dim sum in the palace is not necessarily as delicious as theirs.
If these snacks were really delicious, then why did the emperor rush to eat them?
Just because Egret thinks that her snacks are better than those in the palace, she is still vaguely proud in her heart.
Their cooks are amazing, and they are all better than the imperial chefs.
Of course, the little bit of caution that the egret thinks is secretive can't escape Mingxiu's eyes.
She shook her head a little crying, "No one would poison me like this." "Don't she know about the Egret's concerns?
The snacks that the emperor wants to import have been poisoned, and Mingxiu is not a little eunuch who has tested for poison.
But Mingxiu believes that she has no value in being poisoned.
What's more, if she was tricked at this time, wouldn't it prove that she didn't do the poisoning?
Since the person behind him wants to kill three birds with one stone, he will not go wrong at this moment.
As for the egret's wishes, their dim sum is better than the one in the palace?
Mingxiu doesn't think so, how many dim sum dishes Mingji makes can't be talked about, it can only be regarded as a hunt, and then there is high calories.
