Chapter 192: The Feast of Hongmen, Deep into the Tiger's Den
Because...... Yuan Xi!
Xiao Yu's face turned red, he had concern, knew good and evil, and didn't want to do anything wrong.
Moreover, when he first came into contact with Yu Xizhou, the words of his true temperament that he knew were also true, and he really didn't do anything that really harmed Shen Nanfeng and his wife.
"You ......"
Shen Nan angrily smashed the inkstone on Xiao You's head, how much did he believe in this kid? Instead, I was almost bitten by a tiger. He is angry, not only to blame the dark line, but also to blame his head for not being bright enough.
"You're really good, Xiao Yu, it's really deep enough to hide. So where did all the letters you wrote go? If you have not betrayed the Son of this world, show evidence. ”
There was a faint commotion in the study, and the people outside stomped their feet and pushed the door in a hurry, completely ignoring the dignity of the master, regardless of the three-seven-twenty-one, Yuan Xi and Xiaoyou knelt in a row.
"Master, Xiao You did not betray his master, and the letters he wrote before were all passed on to his parents. He wanted to get rid of the identity of the emperor's dark line, and he also wanted to cheat death to get rid of those people. ”
Yuan Xi looked at Xiao You's heart and was moved, she kept kowtowing to Shen Nanfeng. "Master, Xiao You didn't think of betraying his master. He had thought of a way to get rid of the dynasty before, but then because of my reckless appearance, he had to continue to serve the emperor, but he really didn't betray you. ”
Caring is chaotic, Yuan Xi is a little incoherent and constantly kowtows. If it weren't for her appearance that interrupted Xiao Yu's plan at that time, he was afraid that he would have escaped by now.
It was from that time that she learned Xiaoyu's identity and plan, and she felt very guilty.
"Master, you can spare Xiaoyu. He did a lot of things to keep from betraying you, look at him. ”
She pulled at Xiao Yu's clothes, and his body was full of wounds, the old and the new, and it looked a little scary.
Shen Nanfeng tapped the table, it seemed that Xiao You's confession was very different from what they had investigated. There was an interested look on his face, and his eyes rolled to his heart.
"Since this is the case, then Yuan Xi believes in Xiao Yu. That son of the world also has to believe in Xiaoyu, you don't want to show your exposure to the dark lines. This prince wants you to get the emperor's plan out of the mouth of the dark line. ”
He personally helped Xiao You up, with calculation in his eyes. "Xiao You, don't say that Miss Yuanxi will protect you today, if you really do something to be sorry for this son, I will still kill you."
"Yuan Xi has good intentions, this son cherishes Yuan Xi, and I will spare you this time. However, the injuries on your body can't be delayed any longer, wait for Yuan Xi to ask a doctor to come. ”
He smiled slightly, and said to Yuan Xi with a smile: "The injury on his body is said to be caused by the fact that this son does not agree with your marriage, don't startle the snake." ”
"Xiao You, during the time you are recuperating from your injuries, you should stay in the house and stay still, and see who will move first to show the horse's feet in those dark lines."
Shen Nanfeng flicked his sleeves and looked at Yuan Xi ambiguously, feeling that this girl was really affectionate, if Xiao You really betrayed him, he really didn't know how to explain to Yuan Xi at that time.
He shook his head helplessly, and thought of Yu Xizhou. How nice it would be if she could be by her side at this moment? At the very least, she can help him give advice and talk about the matter between Yuan Xi and Xiao Yu.
"Master, Yuan Xi will never betray you. If Xiao Yu used Yuan Xi to make his master believe in his loyalty, when Yuan Xi knew, he would definitely not let him have a good time. ”
Yuan Xi looked at Xiao You fiercely, maybe he still didn't believe it in his heart, right? After all, this person has a criminal record.
"Xiao Yu, if you really use Yuan Xi, I am willing to die with you at that time, no matter what, Yuan Xi is not willing to betray the master."
The topic was too cold, Xiao You stepped forward to hug Yuan Xi, with tears in his eyes.
Shen Nanfeng touched his nose, he seemed to have eaten dog food invisibly? It's a bit unpleasant.
He is really a little helpless, Yuan Xi is the daughter of the nurse, and now he is so distressed. He felt sorry for Yuan Xi, a stupid girl, and he sighed helplessly.
"If Xiao You can promise to help this son at that time, he will not betray me. I am willing to hold a marriage for you when the dust settles and Xizhou and the child return to Shen Kingdom safely. ”
He was a little looking forward to this wedding, touched his chin and said with interest: "When the time comes, I will manage the entire wedding and let Yuan Xi marry out peacefully." ”
"Master."
Yuan Xi stomped his feet angrily, his face was ruddy, and he was completely blushing. But what girl hasn't dreamed of such a thing in a dream? She subconsciously looked at Xiao You, and when she heard Shen Nanfeng's joking voice, she ran out angrily.
"Xiao You thanked the master, and he will not betray the master for the rest of his life, nor will he live up to the good of the Yuan Xi girl." Xiao You sincerely kowtowed to Shen Nanfeng, which can be regarded as a real confession.
He couldn't stop sighing, at the beginning, he really didn't like the royal aura on Shen Nanfeng's body, but later when Yu Xizhou arrived in the mansion, he really appreciated Yu Xizhou's ability and courage.
Xiao Yu sincerely hopes that Yu Xizhou can return to China safely and that nothing dangerous will happen.
On the other side, the kingdom of the DPRK.
On the day of the Hongmen banquet, Yu Xizhou and others got into the carriage sent by the emperor. General, Yu Xizhou and Ling's carriage, Qi Cane rode alone in the carriage.
When entering the palace gate, the carriage stopped, and Yu Xizhou was called down by the maid. vp
"County lord, the emperor has arranged a small kitchen for you, I hope you can go with the slave maid. The general and Mrs. Ling will go to the front hall to talk to the emperor, you don't need to worry. ”
Yu Xizhou nodded, she looked at Qi Su, who was looking at her when the curtain was opened, and nodded. At this time, the emperor will not deal with her, the emperor loves face and will not do such a thing in front of everyone.
She followed the maid to the small kitchen with peace of mind, looking at the ingredients prepared according to her requirements, she looked through them one by one, and did not notice any poison or impropriety on them, she rolled up her sleeves and began to operate.
"County Lord, the shrimp you asked for has arrived, and it was freshly transported from outside the palace."
The voice of the little guy sounded, and Yu Xizhou raised his head suddenly, his eyes shrinking. Why didn't she expect He Chao to actually disguise himself into the palace and blend into the kitchen.
"What are your plans?" She leaned over to He Chao and asked in a low voice, "Wait a minute, do you want to find evidence?" ”
He Chao shook his head, he looked at Yu Xizhou sincerely, and smiled: "I'm here to protect you." ”
Yu Xizhou rolled her eyes fiercely, listening to the urging in front of her, the movements in her hands sped up. The chefs around him were dazzled and didn't learn the essence at all.
"Isn't the emperor tormenting the county lord? actually asked the county lord to cook. ”
"The dishes cooked by the county lord are much better than those made by the cook, and the emperor also let her cook because of the reason why he favors the county lord, right?"
When Yu Xizhou was cleaning up her face, she heard such a voice, and she sneered. It seems that this is also ordered by the emperor, right? Just to make her angry.
She doesn't, she wants to do the opposite.
Yu Xizhou appeared in the banquet hall in a gorgeous costume, and she smiled and asked the palace maid behind her to serve the food. "Your Majesty, Xizhou has served the food."
Emperor Chao looked at Yu Xizhou with interest and waved his hand, the fragrance had just passed, and he was a little greedy.
"The first course is full of gold and jade." She clapped her hands, and the palace people separated the dishes in front of everyone.
The golden corn kernels on the plate are combined with pine nuts and green beans to make people eat immediately, and the sweetness of the corn and the perfect combination of pine nuts make people eat an extra bowl of rice.
"The second way is to return the phoenix to the nest and welcome Princess Qi Cane back to China to save her relatives."
A plate of fried small nine-section shrimp that was arranged in the shape of a phoenix was served on the table, and the taste of fried shrimp came to the face. Coupled with the name of the phoenix returning to the nest, the ministers kept clapping their hands.
"The county lord's dishes are really good, and his subordinates have never tried such dishes, I have to say that the county lord is a strange woman."
"yes, yes. The ministers also felt that the county lord was very powerful. ”
The courtier slapped Yu Xizhou's ass, and she obviously noticed that the emperor's face had changed a little, as if she didn't want people to praise Yu Xizhou, but bullied her and made her angry.
One dish after another came up, and Yu Xizhou explained one by one, tirelessly. It's also quite proud, and it's really confusing.
"The county lord is indeed powerful, but fortunately he was recognized by me. Otherwise, where did you become a cook, it would really be a pain in the county. "Emperor Chao's words were thorny, sounding unintentional, but in fact he was humiliating Xizhou.
Say she's a cook? Yu Xizhou sneered in her heart, she just wasn't angry, no matter what the emperor did today, she just couldn't be angry.
"What the emperor said is that Xizhou is very grateful to the emperor for recognizing Xizhou, so that Xizhou will no longer bear the suffering of the people and be the lord of the county."
She looked grateful, and the emperor felt very bored, and waved her hand to let everyone open the table.
As soon as you bite into the crispy fried shrimp, the roe contained in the shrimp cracks open and escapes in your mouth, and the emperor and courtiers cover their mouths in panic.
Yu Xizhou smiled sarcastically, as if he was taking a sip of tea without noticing. Qi Cane, who was sitting on the side, gave her a thumbs up, but she didn't expect that in order to see the emperor and others make a fool of herself, she could still make such a gesture in the dish.
"Xizhou, you impressed me, no wonder you didn't say anything, it turned out that the organs were all in the dishes." She cautiously teased in Xizhou's ear.
"It's just a dish." Yu Xizhou smiled and exited.
In fact, it's just a dish, even if the emperor is angry, what can he do? This still shows that she is the most attentive.
"The county lord cooks with good intentions, and I am deeply grateful. What reward does the lord want? ”
The emperor's eyes narrowed, she did something in the dish, he almost made a foreign appearance, and he didn't want to give her the slightest benefit, but the courtiers were here, and he couldn't lose face.
"The Emperor's ......"
Yu Xizhou hurriedly knelt in front of the emperor, and before she finished speaking, a letter fell out of her arms. Seeing this, she hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed the letter to stuff it into her arms, and her gaffe made the courtiers aware of it.
Everyone's eyes looked at her, and when the emperor looked at Fang Cai's letter with the words He on it, he began to feel weak again.
Yu Xizhou hooked her lips and smiled when everyone was not paying attention, she successfully attracted attention, and the plan was successful.
