Chapter VII: Banquets and Entertainment
Chi Yingchu's body stiffened in place, and he gasped suddenly, and the palms in his sleeves clenched tightly and did not speak.
Lu Yuanbai's eyes seemed to be able to see through her, he leaned close to her ear and blew lightly, and his voice was a little hoarse: "Do you want this king to ask a mage to give you a method to exorcise evil spirits?"
She couldn't guess his thoughts, so she was silent for a long time, and pretended to laugh lightly: "The prince believes that there are ghosts in the world?"
"Even if there really is, General Chi did his best for the country during his lifetime, and he was a loyal minister and martyr of Dachu, I am naturally not afraid, but the prince has killed countless people, so he is not afraid of asking for his life in the middle of the night?"
"This king's life is hard, since the early death of the young mother, there are no distant relatives and no close servants around him, if anyone wants it, just come and get it!" Lu Yuanbai's eyes gathered coldly, and he raised his hand and patted her shoulder.
"You said that General Chi is a loyal minister, have you ever heard that she is also a big trouble for this king?"
"Fortunately, she is gone, otherwise this king will not let her go easily!" Lu Yuanbai left her with a meaningful look, and then turned to leave.
Chi Yingchu couldn't help but shudder, thinking of his cold eyes, he felt gloomy, he was changing his way to warn her!
When she returned to the house, the red spots on her body were more noticeable, but not to the point of having a rash, and she fell asleep and did not wake up until dusk.
When it was about dinner time, no one came to bring her food, so she had to go to the small kitchen to find food by herself, but the maids knew that she had harmed the prince, so they didn't dare to say a word to her for fear of being affected by her.
"Since the prince personally released me from the dungeon and didn't punish me severely, doesn't this prove my innocence?"
"That can't be the grandma you said, she is the nurse of the prince when he was young, who in the house does not respect her and flatters her? Even the fifth aunt who was framed by you did not dare to trouble her, you are good, poison the prince first and then frame the grandma!"
"If you offend three masters at once, you can count the days with your head every day!"
In the eyes of the people in the palace, Chu Yimiao has become a short-lived person, and the subordinates avoid her like a beast, but she herself is a person who has no self-knowledge.
But she also knew in her heart that if Lu Yuanbai wanted to kill her, he could take advantage of this poisoning to kill her, the reason why he didn't kill her now shows that she still has use value, anyway, she can't tolerate Lu Yuanbai, one day she will also want his life, then it depends on who strikes first!
Chi Yingchu's eyes wandered around the small kitchen, and finally landed on the chicken soup cup stewed on the fire, where sliced shiitake mushrooms and wolfberries floated on the soup noodles, with a rich aroma......
She has not eaten such a good thing for a long time since she entered the palace.
Seeing her hit this idea, the maid stepped forward to stop her: "This is what the fifth aunt wants, don't touch it, who knows what medicine you will give!"
"I'm just looking around, you don't have to be so guarded against me. As soon as she said this, three or four maids stared at her.
She gritted her teeth angrily, even the maid had food, why didn't she have it, did Lu Yuanbai really want to starve her?
She grinded in the small kitchen for a long time, and finally only got a vegetarian bun, so she had no choice but to raise her feet and walk out, and saw a guard at the door, as if he was waiting for her.
"The prince said that if Chu Tongfang wants to eat, he has to go to the prince in person. ”
Chi Yingchu thought of the bun as Lu Yuanbai, and took a bite hard, his mouth was blurred, and his voice was disdainful: "What does he mean by this, thinking that I am rare for this meal?"
"Then do you want to go?" the guard thought she wouldn't agree, and reached for the saber pinned to his waist.
"Of course I want to go!" she watched his movements, her eyelids jumping uncontrollably.
With her current small body, he can press her to the ground with one hand, right? Besides, she can't eat enough with just one bun!
When I arrived at Qingzhuyuan, I thought that I would not be able to eat anything good here like last time, but this time the table was full of delicious delicacies from the mountains and seas, which made people appetizing at a glance.
She swallowed her saliva, and sat down first without waiting for Lu Yuanbai to speak: "How dare the prince keep me by his side, not afraid that I will poison you?"
There is no one else here, and even if there is, it is Lu Yuanbai's person, so he has no scruples at all.
"Do you think you've succeeded?" he glanced at her and tossed the handkerchief he had wiped back into the basin.
When he saw her unsightly appearance, his face had not changed much, but when he got closer and saw the utensils she used, his face immediately turned dark.
Seeing his reaction, Chi Yingchu laughed happily: "If the prince dislikes it, you don't have to pass me on in the future." ”
Lu Yuan Bai Tie looked away with a blushing face, and ordered someone to prepare a new pair of dishes and chopsticks, and asked people to serve a new meal.
She knew he had a habit of cleanliness, that the table was piled with bones she had gnawed on, and that the dishes had been turned over and over several times, and that he would definitely not move his chopsticks again.
The next person sent new dishes and chopsticks and food, and Lu Yuanbai's face was a little better: "I came to you, and I didn't just let you serve and eat." ”
"Do you know Shuntian Mansion Yin Zhong Jingsong?"
When Chi Yingchu heard this name, his eyes sank, and his hand moved: "Shuntian Mansion Yin is in charge of the cultivation and hunting of the Son of Heaven, supervising the examination, who will not know in the entire Shangjing City?"
In addition to these, Shuntian Mansion Yin is still a good friend she has made since childhood, and she has found some incriminating evidence about Lu Yuanbai before, and she has asked him to keep it on her behalf.
Could it be that Lu Yuanbai suspected her because of the signing?
There were some subtle changes in her facial expression, which was seen by Lu Yuanbai.
"Have you ever seen him?" he asked again, pursing his lips coldly.
"The Protector Mansion and the Shuntian Mansion have nothing to do with each other, so naturally I have never seen it, why did the prince suddenly ask?" Chi Yingchu shook his head and denied it, and quietly wrote down his words in his heart.
Lu Yuanbai nodded, and the corners of his mouth curled: "This king has some things that need the help of Shuntianfu, and the day after tomorrow will set up a banquet to invite him over, if you don't recognize him, then you don't have to show up, and you will cause trouble to this king." ”
"Good. Chi Yingchu agreed easily, thinking that where is he setting up a banquet to entertain, this is clearly a Hongmen banquet!
She felt that she had almost eaten, and when she saw that he was still staring at herself, she immediately frowned: "Is the prince reluctant to give me food?" But your guards came to me, and if you want to settle accounts, you can find him. ”
"But this doesn't mean that you can use the dishes and chopsticks used by this king. ”
The ...... he used She didn't want his life too late, but she didn't make out with him to this point!
Chi Yingchu's stomach was tumbling with a wave of nausea, and he bent over and vomited, and Lu Yuanbai's face became more and more embarrassed......
Regarding the events of that day, Chi Yingchu thought that he did it on purpose, otherwise why didn't he say it early or late, but he said it after she finished eating?
Whatever he thought, she was really disgusted anyway.
In the past two days, the entire palace has been preparing for a banquet, and the house where Chi Yingchu lives is some distance from the front hall, she has to prepare early if she wants to hide from Lu Yuanbai when she sees Zhong Jingsong, and if she wants to avoid the sight of everyone in the house, she has to prepare early, but as long as she is together, there are three or four maids blocking the door of the house.
Several maids almost said in unison: "There are distinguished guests in the house today, what do you want to do in Chu Tongfang, just tell the maids, the prince won't let you move around." ”
Through the room, this title is also ugly!
