Chapter 40: The Storm Rises (2)

As soon as Master Sun came out of the house, Chu Huotian got out of bed with a slight sneer, picked up the emperor's secret decree he put on the pillow, and looked at it at a glance.

Li Jingcai stepped forward to make the bed, and said, "When Lord Sun left, the slave maid looked at him and kept shaking his head and sighing. ”

Chu Huotian set the secret decree in his hand on the brazier, stared at the jumping flames, and pulled out a faint smile on his thin lips: "Lord Sun is easy to deceive, and now he has coaxed him to pat his chest and ensure that Benhou will return to Chu State as before." However, judging from the letter, the emperor is still suspicious, no matter what, the emperor's temperament is like this, otherwise there would not be the point where the woman interferes in court politics and her relatives mess with power. ”

Finally, a puff of black smoke rose from the secret decree, obliterating all the words.

……

Chu Dinghou's illness lasted for about ten days, tens of thousands of soldiers and horses and thousands of Chinese prisoners of war had a good rest, plus it was close to Chu, and the supply of grain and grass was also timely. Ouyang Zhen's injuries are also healed, the bandages have been removed, the scars on his hands are invisible, and the feet are completely healed.

In the past few days, Ouyang Zhen has boiled all kinds of porridge every day, and sent Wan Hui to deliver it in person early in the morning. Everything is delicious, beautiful and delicious. Even Gonggong Li was speechless: "Where did Madam find the method, this is no worse than the imperial kitchen in the palace." Many of our families have never seen it, and seeing that the Hou Ye is happy to eat, the slave and maid really want to taste it. ”

At that time, Ouyang Zhen was following Dexuan, walking in the garden, the early morning of early May was slightly cool, a few pomegranate flowers were blooming enchantingly, Dexuan was taking scissors to twist a few branches down to insert the beauty scoop in the house.

Ouyang Zhen listened to Wan Hui's words, a faint smile pulled out from the corner of his mouth, and his pink face and peach cheeks were more gorgeous than pomegranate flowers, which was scorching.

She turned her head and instructed Dexuan: "Twist a few more branches, prepare it today, and there will be another porridge tomorrow." On the second day, Ouyang Jizhen used the jasper japonica brought from Huaguo to simmer slowly, the jasper japonica as the name suggests, its color is like jasper, a pool of green porridge rice, sprinkled with a few petals of pomegranate flowers broken with clear water, which makes people appetize.

Ouyang Zhen made another small snack and gave it to Li Jingcai, although the other part of the noodles did not look exquisite enough, but it was also a novelty to eat.

In this way, Chu Dinghou ate the porridge cooked by Ouyang Zhen himself for ten days at breakfast, and sometimes, in the afternoon, Ouyang Zhen sent someone to send a bowl of cool dessert to relieve the heat. If you meet the imperial doctor, you only say that Hou Ye has lost his appetite during his illness, so he came to give Hou Ye an appetizer.

In order to convince Master Sun that he was seriously ill, Chu Huotian was locked in the house every day, stuffy and hot, and a bowl of cool desserts was just right to relieve the heat. He was very happy in his heart, and he didn't say anything, but it was revealed between his eyebrows.

On the eleventh day, the third holy decree of Emperor Chu arrived at his bedside, and Chu Huo Tiancai and Sun Daren, who was in a hurry, "The illness has improved slightly", and it is time to return to Chu to resume his life.

So after resting for a full eleven days, the team started in a mighty way.

The official road was still dusty, and the line stretched for several miles, like a huge long dragon. Ouyang Zhen, Wan Hui, and Ming Ying still sat in a carriage, but another Dexuan was added to the wheel.

At noon, the sun was very hot, Wan Hui felt sorry for Dexuan basking in the sun outside the car, and wanted to pull him in with him. Dexuan excused himself and said: "Auntie's kindness Dexuan understands, but if you cross the rules, it will make people find trouble, and this point is still standing." ”

Wan Hui couldn't say anything when she heard it. However, Ouyang Zhen put down Ling Xiang, and said to the two people in the car with a solemn face:

"Dexuan is right, when you cross the river, it is not Huadi, one wrong step, maybe it is a wrong step, you two must remember to be cautious in your words and deeds, don't be caught."

Wan Hui and the song warbler hurriedly responded.
