"I thought it was her at first, but when I calmed down and thought about it, I felt very strange," Su Xi thought for a while, "Concubine Wen has a withdrawn personality and is a loner, and she has never intersected with those concubines, and if she really wants to target me, she won't find a few concubines to come over and make trouble." ”

"That's not quite right......

Gu Li said softly: "Niangniang, could it be that someone in this harem is secretly watching the movements of our Qingle Palace, and then waiting for an opportunity to find fault?" ”

Su Xi didn't make a sound immediately.

Those who are staring at Qingle Palace are both open and secret.

"Concubine Niangniang, the slave has something to do." Zhou Song suddenly stood at the door and tapped the door a few times.

"Grains, you go and hide in the middle first." Su Xi put away the wound cream.

This Zhou Song, not long after he came to Qingle Palace, he didn't know that Gu Li was Cai'er's person after changing his identity, and the less people knew about this matter, the better.

And I don't know if Zhou Song is reliable.

The grains quickly hid inside.

Mai Sui walked to the door and opened the door: "Imperial Chef Zhou, Niangniang, please come in and talk." ”

Zhou Song raised his feet and entered the hall, and when he saw Su Xi, he bowed respectfully: "The slave greets the concubine." ”

"You say you have something to do, what is it?" Su Xi asked.

At this time, Zhou Song should be busy in the kitchen, and if there is anything in the kitchen, just go directly to the housekeeper.

But because he couldn't offend the cook, Su Xi had always been very polite to him.

"Back to Niangniang, the slave wants to ask, today, is it okay to eat beef instead?"

Zhou Song arched his hand gently.

"Is that horned venison bad? Why should I switch to beef? Su Xi asked puzzled.

Zhou Song hesitated.

"Back to Niangniang, the servant found that the color of the venison was not quite right, and it may not be eaten," he looked solemn, "and asked Niangniang to go to the small kitchen to see for herself." ”

Su Xi was slightly stunned.

Then he got up and followed Zhou Song to the small kitchen.

When she came to the kitchen, she stared at the sliced venison for a long time, but she didn't see anything unusual.

couldn't help but turn his head and ask Zhou Song: "What's wrong with this color?" How can I not see that there is anything wrong? ”

She is not very good at things in the kitchen, and she doesn't know much about these ingredients.

"Even if the fresh horned venison is kept fresh overnight, the meat is still bright red when kept fresh with ice cubes, but this venison is dark brown," Zhou Song said softly, "When the minions took it out of the ice cubes early this morning, it was still bright red, and I don't know why it suddenly changed color." ”

After Zhou Song said this, Su Xi looked at it again, and the color of the venison was indeed dark brown, and she thought it was originally this color.

Zhou Song has been an imperial chef for many years, so it is not surprising that he can see the abnormality at a glance.

"Is it spoiled?" Mai Sui, like his master, did not see anything wrong.

Zhou Song shook his head: "It's just one night, and there are ice cubes to keep it fresh, and it doesn't smell good, so it's not the reason for spoilage." ”

"It's not spoilage, what is it?" Mai Sui was dazed.

This week, the imperial chef was so strict about the quality of the ingredients that she even wondered if he was too harsh.

Anyway, since he came, he has to check the ingredients many times every day, until he can't find any flaws, and then he will use them.

Zhou Song lowered his eyes and was silent.

He also guessed in his heart, but he didn't dare to say anything.

Su Xi glanced at Zhou Song, and saw that he had something to say but didn't say, and he already understood something.

She asked, "Have you ever left the kitchen today?" ”
