Chapter 217: Meatball Detoxification
Su Jiudong got up and curtsied to Emperor Tianduo and the empress, and explained wholeheartedly: "In order to protect the health of Concubine Chang's mother, the little girl can only order someone to extinguish most of the lights, leaving only some candles. For uncontrollable reasons, please also ask the queen and the saint to understand. ”
Regarding the current situation, Emperor Tianduo could no longer refuse: "Since there is such a reason, I can't say anything. But there is one thing, you must ensure that this evil snack will not endanger the safety of Concubine Chang. ”
With Emperor Tianduo's nod and agreement, the queen could no longer ask to relight the candles, and the imperial concubine, who was silent on the side, was a silent spectator, just wanting to see the true face of Su Jiudong's evil snack as soon as possible.
Concubine Chang just wanted to solve the red worm in her stomach, and she was not taboo about any evil snacks, so she hurriedly urged: "This palace is not taboo about evil things, Miss Jiudong quickly present that snack to you." ”
Su Jiudong clapped his hands three times, and Shuyu brought Su Jiudong's "customized" pork croquettes to Concubine Chang's eyes.
There were only a few candles in the house, and the candlelight flickered and the light was dim.
Everyone's eyes followed the snack in Shuyu's hand, and they could only vaguely see that it was a shape like a ball, but they couldn't see what kind of appearance and color it was, and what kind of ingredients it was composed of.
The "evil" snack in Su Jiudong's mouth was close in front of him, and even the concubine Chang within a short distance couldn't get a glimpse of the whole picture, and could only see that each ball had the size of an index finger circle, and the other people who were farther away next to him were of course even more unable to see it clearly.
Su Jiudong sincerely reminded: "Concubine Chang Niangniang, in order to facilitate the care of your preferences and tastes, the little girl specially told the chef to make this snack into the shape of a meatball, the main ingredient of this meatball is pork, and the mother can eat it with confidence." ”
"Pork is the main ingredient of snacks?" The imperial concubine couldn't help but be surprised: "Isn't pork just an ordinary and visible ingredient, people eat it every day, how can it be evil?" ”
Su Jiudong responded calmly: "Pork is not an evil ingredient, so it's okay to eat it on weekdays." It is the little girl's cooking technique and the auxiliary ingredients placed in it that have other theories, so it makes the snack with evil nature. ”
In order not to explain the explanation of a hammer in the east and a mallet in the west, Su Jiudong pushed the dishes closer to Concubine Chang and urged Concubine Chang to eat meatballs as soon as possible.
"Please also ask the mother to close her eyes before swallowing each ball, and not open until the ball is swallowed. There are a total of sixteen balls in the plate, please use them all. After the mother has finished eating, she can re-light the lamp and eat as usual. ”
"There are sixteen of them, do you really need to eat them all?" Concubine Chang was a little surprised and resisted: "Eating such an evil thing can really dissolve the red bugs, and it won't be bad for the body of the palace?" ”
Su Jiudong was slightly stunned, he didn't expect Concubine Chang to dislike eating too much food, and was silent for two or three seconds before stabilizing her emotions and replied: "It is precisely because of the evil nature of this snack that the little girl deliberately specified the quantity for the chef to make sixteen. ”
"Zhou Yi" has a solution, the noble person has to help Tianyifu, the number of sixteen is virtuous, the anti-murder is auspicious, and the elegance is heavy, which is the number of good luck. The snacks are specially made into sixteen pieces, so as to suppress the evil nature of the snacks themselves, and the mother can eat them with confidence. ”
Su Jiudong thought of many reasons in his heart, and he was not afraid that Concubine Chang would have questions again. Concubine Chang no longer hesitated, and clearly followed Su Jiudong's request, closing her eyes every time she ate one, and did not open her eyes until she swallowed it, and finished eating the sixteen small meatballs in such silence.
In fact, Concubine Chang was also nervous when eating, but after eating the first bite, she found that the meatballs were very crispy and tender, and they were also very fragrant in the mouth, which was indeed no different from the usual pork balls, so she could settle down a little and continue to eat.
In the process of eating meatballs, other people were afraid of the "evil nature" of this snack and did not dare to say a word, and even tried to control their breathing carefully, as if they were afraid that the evil nature of this snack would detect the presence of other people.
The superstitious Imperial Concubine and Emperor Tianduo thought in unison, since this evil snack could know who was eating it when the lights were bright, then they would definitely be able to detect that the two of them were beside Concubine Chang, so they didn't dare to make a sound.
Compared with the caution of Emperor Tianduo and the imperial concubine, the queen and Yun Muyou were much more relaxed. The queen didn't believe in Su Jiudong's so-called "evil snack", and Yun Muyou guessed Su Jiudong's true intention to make this evil snack, so the two of them were not afraid.
It wasn't until Concubine Chang had eaten all the sixteen meatballs that Su Jiudong rekindled the candlelight, and everyone who was waiting with bated breath finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then focused their attention on Concubine Chang with concern and inquiry.
Emperor Tianduo was most concerned about Concubine Chang, and asked softly and concernedly, "What do you think of Concubine Ai?" Do you feel any discomfort after eating? ”
Concubine Chang shook her head sincerely: "It feels like the same taste as ordinary pork croquettes, but the taste is a little more peculiar, and there is no other difference, just swallow it after a few bites." ”
Su Jiudong sent someone to remove the dishes of the meatballs, and then announced that they could eat normally.
The others looked at each other, and the imperial concubine exclaimed slightly: "That's it? Is it so easy to over? Don't need to take any more pills? ”
Su Jiudong knew that Concubine Chang was sensitive to words such as "sick" and "taking medicine", so he replied first: "Concubine Chang Niangniang is not sick, of course she doesn't need to take medicine, she just needs to eat this snack to dissolve the red worms in her stomach." "Courier
"However, this is still not the end of the solution, at present, it is only the completion of the intake link, and the final part needs to be patiently waited. Just like it takes a day or two after taking medicine when you are sick on weekdays, it also takes a process to take effect after eating today's snacks. ”
Su Jiudong saw that others still didn't dare to move the chopsticks, so he first took a piece of white-cut chicken and tasted it carefully, and was full of praise: "This white-cut chicken skin is smooth and fragrant, light and delicious, you might as well give it a try." ”
With Su Jiudong "taking the lead" to try the dishes, the rest of the people started to eat with chopsticks, and a dinner was eaten silently and slowly. Su Jiudong also deliberately slowed down and ate slower than usual, just to wait for the croton mixed in the meatballs to "play a role" as soon as possible.
Full of wine and food, Concubine Chang also began to have the stomach ache that Su Jiudong expected, and she just wanted to pour out.
"What's going on? Why does Concubine Ai have a stomachache? Emperor Tianduo grabbed the crumbling concubine and glared at Su Jiudong angrily: "Su Jiudong! What is this dangerous thing about yours? Why do I have abdominal pain after eating? ”
"Don't worry, the mother is starting to have stomach troubles, which means that she wants to turn the red worm out." Su Jiudong was slightly overjoyed, and summoned Shuyu to prepare the Gong basin, and asked Shu Yu to help Concubine Chang into the Gong room and arrange the objects in the Gong basin.
Shuyu helped Concubine Chang into Gong's room, and asked Concubine Chang to sit on the basin for excretion according to the instructions, and sure enough, she saw that there were a lot of red silk threads cut in the afternoon.
After Concubine Chang finished pouring out, Shu Yu took advantage of Concubine Chang's time to pay attention to the things in the Gong basin, so she quickly carried the Gong basin away, only so that Concubine Chang could take a look at the things in the Gong basin from a distance, mainly so that she could see the red silk threads.
After everyone waited in the outer hall for a quarter of an hour, Concubine Chang's exclamation came from the Gong room: "Ah! Really! Sure enough, it's true! ”
Shuyu cleaned up the Gong basin as soon as possible, and then helped Concubine Chang out of the Gong room.
Emperor Tianduo helped Concubine Chang sit on the edge of the bed, and said with concern: "Love Concubine? I heard you exclaim inside, 'Sure enough'... What is it really like? ”
"Your Majesty, Miss Jiudong's snacks are really useful! After the concubine ate the snack, she really turned the red worm out! Earlier, the concubine said that there were red worms in her stomach, but she really wasn't lying! ”
Concubine Chang was overjoyed, and her eyebrows fluttered and she described: "The concubine really has a red worm in her stomach, and the worm has been discharged into many small pieces just now!" Originally, you thought that the concubine was sick, but now Miss Jiudong has rehabilitated the concubine. ”
Su Jiudong chuckled and asked, "Concubine Chang, now that the red worm in your body has melted, you won't be bothered by this in the future, right?" ”
"Of course! The insects have been discharged, and the main palace can finally rest assured! ”
Concubine Chang thought that all the red worms in her stomach had been discharged, and she couldn't help but feel that her state of mind was unrestrained. Emperor Tianduo saw that his beloved concubine had returned to normal, no longer bothered by insects, and was happy for Concubine Chang from the bottom of his heart.
The imperial concubine present was amazed that Su Jiudong had cured Concubine Chang in just one day, and the queen was silent without saying a word, only clapping her hands lightly for Concubine Chang's recovery to "celebrate".
The corners of Yun Muyou's mouth provoked a shallow smile, and when he looked at Su Jiudong, his eyes were also clear.
Seeing that Concubine Chang's heart knot had ended, and the time was not early, Su Jiudong smiled and retired after asking Emperor Tianduo and the Empress to resign.
Su Jiudong stepped out of the Inviting Moon Palace before stepping forward, and Yun Muyou followed closely behind. Yun Muyou walked with Su Jiudong for nearly a thousand meters before stopping in front of the high wall.
Yun Muyou still maintained a knowing smile on his face: "Miss Jiudong's trick tonight is not unclever, she can actually use ordinary meatballs and red silk threads to untie the knot that has plagued Concubine Chang for a long time." ”
Su Jiudong pretended to be puzzled, and asked knowingly: "What are the third princes talking about?" The little girl wonderfully didn't understand. ”
Yun Muyou crossed his hands in front of his chest and smiled tacitly: "Miss Jiudong, we are now far away from the Invitation Moon Palace, and there is no one else here, are you still worried that Concubine Chang will hear it?" ”
Su Jiudong spread his hands calmly, and said without any shame or fear: "The little girl helped Concubine Chang expel the red bugs, Concubine Chang was very happy, why should the little girl be afraid of what she heard?" ”
"Miss Jiudong doesn't need to pretend anymore, this king now knows what medicine you sell in your gourd." Yun Muyou's light smile was full of bamboo: "Miss Jiudong said in the afternoon that this king guessed fast and approached the answer, don't you want to hear if this king guessed right?" ”
Su Jiudong snorted lightly and said with a smile: "Okay, since the third prince wants to find someone to talk to, then the little girl might as well listen to it." ”
Yun Muyou, who thought he had guessed the truth of the treatment, smiled brightly: "Actually, Concubine Chang doesn't have the so-called red worms in her stomach, you have been deceiving her with evil snacks, but helping her resolve her heart disease, is this king right?" ”
