Chapter 226: Suspicious
"Isn't it like that?" Wei Qiang was obviously a little disappointed by Chaohua's answer.
Chaohua bit her lip: "What's wrong with Your Highness?" β
"Nothing." Wei Qiang shook his head, as if he had lost the interest in staying, got up and walked out.
"Your Highnessβ"
Wei Qiang didn't look back: "I'll go out for a walk, you can rest." β
Seeing the man disappear around the corner, Chaohua held on to the door frame in shock.
The prince has asked twice in a row if Miss Luo looks like the county lord!
What does he mean?
Could it be that he discovered the similarity between "Miss Luo" and the county lord?
Thinking of this possibility, Chaohua shuddered.
"Elect the waiterβ" Qing'er shouted.
Chaohua settled down, and walked towards the dwarf as if nothing happened.
Maybe it's not that serious, she can't mess around.
I've already been to the county lord today, wait for tomorrow, tomorrow she will go to see the county lord, or ask Xiuyue to come over, to give the county lord a wake-up.
No way!
Asaka rejected the idea again.
Since the prince noticed that Miss Luo was like the county lord, he couldn't help but come to ask her that she couldn't contact the county lord too often for the time being.
Otherwise, even if she denies it, it will make the prince feel that Miss Luo is related to the county lord.
If that man thought that the cook Xiugu next to Miss Luo was the county lord's maidservant Xiuyue, it would be troublesome.
Don't panic.
Chaohua picked up a cup of tea and took a sip.
Qing'er hurriedly said: "Choose the waiter, the tea is already cold, and the slave and maid will come with a new one." β
"No need, cold tea refreshes your mind."
Wei Qiang walked out of the palace and unconsciously came to the tent again.
On the endless grassland, the tents seem to be dotted with white clouds in the green sky.
And that was the only one that attracted his whole heart.
The meal was obviously almost ready, and the enticing aroma wafted far away, causing the people around to linger with bitter faces.
I know it's delicious but I can't eat it, it's too miserable.
Wei Qiang approached step by step, and stopped again when he walked not far away.
The attendants and guards stopped their interest, and their faces were expressionless.
Serve the nobles and do not care about them for a long time.
Everyone in the palace understands this truth.
Only the henchman eunuch Dou Ren stood silently beside Wei Qiang, speculating on his master's thoughts.
"Dou Ren." I don't know how long I stood there, Wei Qiang suddenly spoke.
"The slave is here."
"Do you remember the county lord?"
Although Wei Qiang's voice was soft, it surprised Dou Ren.
He served the prince at a very young age.
No, His Royal Highness was still the prince of Pingnan at that time.
There were a certain number of chamberlains in the palace, and he was one of them.
It can be said that among people like him, he knows His Highness best.
His Royal Highness asked about the county lord, of course, not the current small county lord of Pingnan Palace, but the county lord of Qingyang, who passed away twelve years ago.
"Of course the slave remembers." Dou Ren said in a low voice.
Although the people in the East Palace vaguely knew that His Royal Highness had never let go of the Qingyang County Lord, no one would mention it much.
After all, the county lord of Qingyang is the daughter of a traitor.
In fact, it was the first time that His Highness asked him this.
"Do you see Miss Luo?"
"The slave saw it." Dou Ren looked in the direction where the fragrance was wafting.
The girl who was being lifted by His Highness stood next to the cook and said something.
The cook carefully lifted the lid of the pot and nodded slightly.
The fragrance seems to be stronger.
"What do you think of Miss Luo standing by the stove...... Like the county lord? β
Dou Ren was startled, and couldn't help but look at it a few more times, but he didn't dare to respond to these words indiscriminately.
But after the master's questioning, it is obviously not possible to keep silent.
Dou Ren's eyes stared at it, watching Xiuyue carefully bring down the stewed jar on the stove with a thick cloth pad, and somehow a flash of inspiration came: "The slave maid thinks that the cook lady is quite like the big girl who is very good at cooking next to the county lord." β
Wei Qiang's eyes changed suddenly, and he asked in a deep voice, "What's the name of that maid?" β
He knew before, but he hadn't mentioned it for too long, and he couldn't remember it for a while.
Chaohua has always been by his side, and Shufeng and Jiangxue both died in Pingnan Palace, so he was so impressed that he couldn't forget it if he wanted to.
And the maid with good cooking skills was forgotten in the depths of memory with the collapse of the Zhennan Palace.
Dou Ren bowed slightly and said, "The slave remembers that the maid is called Xiuyue." β
Xiuyue?
Wei Qiang looked at the cook with an ugly face, and his expression changed suddenly.
Xiuyue, Xiugu......
The word "show" is so common that two out of ten women are probably named after it.
But when Miss Luo made him seem to see Luo'er, the situation was different.
Will Xiugu be Xiuyue?
If so, did Xiuyue notice that Miss Luo was like Luo Er and took the initiative to approach, or did Miss Luo have some connection with Luo Er in the dark, so she took in Xiuyue?
Wei Qiang couldn't help but take a step forward.
He wanted to confirm whether the cook named Xiu Gu was Luo'er's maid Xiuyue.
After taking a step, he stopped again, turned and walked towards the palace.
If you want to confirm whether Xiugu is Xiuyue or not, who knows better than Chaohua?
Wei Qiang's return made Chaohua more and more suspicious.
"Didn't Your Highness dine outside?"
Wei Qiang smiled slightly: "Come back and use it with you." β
Chaohua showed a touched look.
The food was quickly placed on the table, and the two ate in silence.
After eating halfway, Wei Qiang put the silver chopsticks down and said with a smile: "Yu Niang, don't you want to learn to make sour soup fish brains from Miss Luo's cook, have you learned it?" β
"The concubine is clumsy and hasn't learned it yet."
"Practice makes perfect, just call the cook to teach you a few more times."
Chaohua nodded: "The concubine thinks the same way." The concubine will learn it earlier, and make it for His Highness to eat later. β
"You've got a heart." Wei Qiang took a piece of black mushroom in his hand, and his tone changed, "It is said that cooking skills are also talented, I remember that Luo'er has a maid by her side, and her cooking skills are very outstanding." β
Chaohua's hand holding the chopsticks trembled, and her face gradually turned white.
"That maid's name is Xiuyue, right?"
"Why did Your Highness suddenly ask about this?"
"I just remembered it suddenly." Wei Qiang looked at Chaohua, and his tone was inexplicable.
Chaohua looked ugly, and said in a trembling voice: "I'm sorry, the concubine is a little out of shape when she thinks of her old friend." β
Wei Qiang has been secretly paying attention to Chaohua's reaction, and he can't see anything abnormal for a while.
Asking directly is naturally not possible.
If Xiuyue is still alive, she will be a fish that has slipped through the net in Zhennan Wangfu, and Chaohua has a deep sisterhood with her, so she will definitely not admit it.
Fortunately, Chaohua will still deal with Xiu Gu in the future, if Xiu Gu is really Xiu Yue, the two will inevitably show clues when they are alone.
Just send someone to keep an eye on it.
The two of them had their own thoughts, and the meal was tasteless.
At night, the two of them lay down on the couch and talked for a while as usual, and the sound of men's shallow and even breathing sounded in the room.
Chaohua looked sideways at him.
A man is about to reach his old age, and he is still handsome and extraordinary.
The years have made him fade away from the youthfulness of his youth, and become deep and changeable.
Just today's subtle change in his attitude towards her, and those shocking words.
Suddenly, the sleeping man frowned.
