Chapter 40: Return to the Race

Yu Xizhou struggled out of Shen Nanfeng's arms, and after standing firmly, he tidied up his clothes slightly, and didn't say anything to explain, just gave the other party a look.

Shen Nanfeng responded by giving her a smile, no matter what he thought was right or not, as long as it was what Yu Xizhou thought, he would support it.

Bypassing the winding and deep path in the palace, Yu Xizhou found the queen's residence with the memory in his mind, and asked the queen's maidservant to report it, saying that there was something to find the queen.

Speaking of which, for such a thing as withdrawing from the competition, it is natural to find the initiator of the competition.

Hearing the news reported by the maidservant, the queen was so shocked that she dropped the cup on the ground, this Hua Ze had just been killed by herself, could it be that Yu Xizhou found out something? Came to confront yourself?

Seeing this, the personal maid looked at the queen with concern, instructed a servant to clean up the teacup, and responded to the girl who passed the word: "You go out and tell the princess that the queen is sick and should not meet guests." ”

The maidservant was about to go out of the door, but was interrupted by the queen.

"Ahem, do you know why the princess came here?" The queen cleared her throat first and asked tentatively.

The maid looked frightened and hurriedly responded: "The slave doesn't know. ”

"Then what is wrong with the princess?" The queen continued to ask, knowing that she knew that she would win all battles, and it would be too much to be a thief if she refused directly.

The little face of the maid was a little pale with nervousness, and the questions asked by the queen were fatal, and the answer must be cautious, "Back to the master, the princess of the world showed kindness, as if there was something to ask the queen mother." ”

When the queen heard this, she smiled and relaxed.

Yu Xizhou is afraid that he wants to help him investigate the specific cause of Hua Ze's death? If that were the case, things would be easier.

"The heirloom princess comes in."

Hearing the queen's permission, the maid finally retreated in a hurry, acting in this palace, making a wrong move, but you will lose your head, it is too thrilling.

Fortunately, the queen's personal maid also came out to welcome the princess, and she didn't have to go back again.

In fact, she wasn't afraid, but she was afraid, afraid that she would inadvertently have the same fate as the tea that fell after the report.

"Princess, the queen is invited." The queen's personal maid smiled at Yu Xizhou and greeted her inside.

Yu Xizhou saw the application of the servant girl, and guessed that the queen had some abnormal reaction because of her arrival.

She didn't flinch, she walked and slandered the queen over and over again, hoping that the people in the world would not be a femme fatale.

Another point, don't have anything to do with the death of Shen Nanfeng's mother, otherwise what you are doing now is simply a sheep's mouth.

As soon as he entered the palace, Yu Xizhou saluted, "The queen is auspicious." ”

"Princess, get up, why did you come this time?" The queen unhurriedly picked up the maid's new tea and greeted.

Yu Xizhou straightened up, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly, "Xizhou came this time, also for a trivial matter, it is this cooking competition, I implore the mother to allow Xizhou to withdraw from the competition?" ”

When the queen heard this, she hurriedly held the teacup steady to avoid embarrassment when it fell, "Why did the princess suddenly withdraw from the competition?" Bengong remembered that in the first few games, the princess had a lot of limelight, and the snowy mooncakes were still all the rage. Moreover, the palace also wants to taste the delicacies prepared by the princess in the finals. ”

"Even if it's to disappoint the queen's mother, Xizhou has been unwell recently, and he has found a matter to diagnose and treat and say that he needs to meditate and cultivate." Yu Xizhou's face was full of apologies and explained slowly.

The queen suddenly interrupted, "Is it really unwell?" Not something else? ”

"Dare to ask the mother what else she said, but what?" Yu Xizhou asked, she played well with this hand.

The queen's personal maid seemed to see Xizhou's ill intentions, and helped the queen block the gun and reprimanded: "Bold! The queen is also what you can suspect? ”

The queen chuckled a few times when she heard this, "Hualiu, don't be so rude, the princess also took it as she spoke." If you are really unwell, you will not participate in this kitchen god competition, and you will not participate. Let's royal people, don't hurt the peace. ”

"What Niangniang said is very true, then Xizhou will pack up his things and go to my Qinwang Mansion." Yu Xizhou hurriedly ended the topic, and Congcong went out.

But at the moment when she turned to leave, the queen's eyes lit up, and immediately dimmed.

She seemed to see something from the past: bracelets.

"Mother, are you alright?" Hua Liu asked with concern, after following the queen for so many years, he can still observe this expression.

The queen took a sip of tea, "It's okay, it's just a little tired, let's go rest." ”

"The slave maid will wait for the queen to change her clothes and go to bed."

Yu Xizhou said goodbye to several people who participated in the Chef God Contest together, and when he saw Zhao Qingran, he was afraid that the other party would find fault, so he didn't talk to him.

"Yo, is the princess about to escape? Don't have any good dishes to continue to compete with the sisters? Zhao Qingran's sentences were sharp, pointing directly at Yu Xizhou.

Since you don't take the initiative to talk to me, then I want to find your business.

Listening to this provocation, Yu Xizhou did not react at all, but completely ignored the other party.

She didn't care about the intrigue between these women now, she packed up her things and immediately found Shen Nanfeng again, and with that look and smile, she agreed to go home.

On the way back to the palace.

"What you said is true?" Yu Xizhou confirmed again, she was afraid of what Shen Nanfeng said in her ear, she was just coaxing herself.

"I can fool anyone, but I will never fool you. I can joke about anything, but I would never joke about human life. ”

Looking at Shen Nanfeng's firm eyes, hearing this, the stone in Yu Xizhou's heart finally fell to the ground.

Yu Xizhou, who returned to King Qin's mansion, couldn't wait to pull Shen Nanfeng out of the carriage.

Shen Nanfeng knew her urgency, followed her, and took her to a side courtyard, where there are generally no small servants, it is very quiet, and it is a very suitable place to recuperate.

"Is it right here?" There were tears swirling in Yu Xizhou's eyes, was Hua Ze really saved by Shen Nanfeng?

Shen Nanfeng nodded and gave her an affirmative reply.

It was late afternoon, the twilight was hazy, and the room was lit by a faint candlelight.

Yu Xizhou was a little afraid that it was just a dream, so he slowly paced to the door.

"Squeak-" The door opened, and a little maid came out of it, bowed to Yu Xizhou, and walked away.

The bed was in the door to the left, and Yu Xizhou stood at the door, tears slowly sliding down his cheeks.

Not dead, not dead, really not dead, her heart kept repeating her hope.

Shen Nanfeng's big hand suddenly fell on Xizhou's shoulder, patted it gently, leaned on her ear and said again: "Don't worry, she didn't die, she was really saved by me." ”

Listening to the low voice, Yu Xizhou's heart settled down a little, wiped the tears on his cheeks, and then bought his feet into the room and turned left.

A bed, a delicate beauty.

Seeing the pale Hua Ze on the bed, Yu Xizhou's nose was sour, but he didn't cry, and slowly walked to the bed, but he felt that she was as silent as if she was dead, leaned down gently, and let go when he heard the faint sound of breathing.

Tiptoeing out of the room, Yu Xizhou gently closed the door and hugged Shen Nanfeng.

Shen Nanfeng patted her on the back and comforted, "If you want to cry, cry, I left you here to get involved in this kind of intrigue." ”

"I, I'm really scared, I'm afraid that I will be defeated by those vicious women if I am not careful, I am afraid that I will be killed by a cup of tea and a needle at some point, I am afraid..."

Hearing the aggrieved voice of the person in his arms, Shen Nanfeng's heart was a little panicked, and he comforted: "I know you're scared, I'm back." I promised you, I won't let you lose your head, trust me! ”

Yu Xizhou couldn't hold back his sobs, and said with a little choked grateful: "Thank you, Hua Ze is my best friend, thank you for saving her!" ”

Hearing the words of his best friend, Shen Nanfeng sighed a little, it is really easy for this woman to be invited, and she is not afraid of being deceived. However, Hanazawa seems to be such a person.

These two women, in just a few days, can have such a relationship, which can be regarded as a similar smell.

In the imperial garden, when he was depressed, Shen Nanfeng attached to his ear and said that Hua Ze was not dead, and he didn't believe it, thinking that he was comforting himself with a lie, but now that he saw it with his own eyes, Yu Xizhou was even more relieved,

"It can't be said that she is completely free of danger now, she just retains her last breath, and if the toxins in her body are not completely removed, she will still leave the world in a short time." Shen Nanfeng said solemnly, and motioned to Yu Xizhou to decoct the medicine for her.

Does this woman seem to have forgotten that she hasn't eaten for almost a day? Seeing the woman running fast, Shen Nanfeng shook his head helplessly.

Yu Xizhou came to the kitchen, rolled up his sleeves but couldn't think of anything to do for a while, Xiao You was decocting medicine on the side, saw Yu Xizhou, stood up all of a sudden, looked at Yu Xizhou with some excitement, and said: "Princess, you are back, the prince almost died in a hurry." ”

There was a burst of medicinal fragrance from the tip of his nose, and seeing that Shen Nanfeng fainted last time and made the spring fish flower soup that he made was all the few ingredients left, Yu Xizhou thought about it and snatched the fan in Xiao You's hand.

"Leave it to me here, you go and help me buy the ingredients for the spring fish flower soup that you asked you to serve last time."

Xiao You nodded after hearing this, and quickly ran out, he knew what Yu Xizhou was going to do, so he didn't delay, went to the market to buy a live fish, and then went to the pharmacy to catch some medicines.

When I returned to King Qin's Mansion, it was already a little dark, so I hurriedly ran to the kitchen and saw Yu Xizhou pouring the medicine out of the pot where the medicine was boiling.

"I'll do it!" Xiao You hurriedly took the medicine in Xizhou's hand and looked at Yu Xizhou.

"The ingredients have been bought, and I also bought some other ingredients by the way, the princess will make dinner for the prince after making the spring flower fish soup, and the soup will be brought over by Xiao You after a while, and the princess will have dinner with the prince first."
