Chapter 139: Back to the Black Cauldron
Thinking of this, Luo Muxi's legs couldn't help but start to weaken a little, and he didn't dare to answer Lin Wanru's words.
Looking at Luo Muxi's appearance, no matter how stupid Lin Wanru was, she had already guessed what Luo Muxi had done, judging from his obsession with those three squeaks and live drunk shrimp, he had already asked him to pass those two dishes when he met Zhao Huai'an, right?
Thinking of this, Lin Wanru was also a little uneasy, after all, those two dishes were too cruel, if the Queen Mother knew, wouldn't something happen?
Sensing Lin Wanru's uneasiness, Luo Lifeng hurriedly pulled Lin Wanru into her arms and said in a low voice:
"Ru'er, you don't have to worry, I will never touch Mu Xi's two dishes."
Hearing Luo Lifeng say this, Lin Wanru suddenly felt that she was really tired, is this man's brain inappropriate again? Didn't you see that it would make her upset? She's going to be upset, not distressed, right?
"Luo Lifeng, if the Queen Mother sees those things for a while, will her old man be unhappy, and then will she hate me too?"
Luo Lifeng was also confused by Lin Wanru's stupid appearance, he really couldn't figure it out, what was wrong with her today? How can you be suffering from gains and losses all day long?
Although she couldn't figure out why she was like this, Luo Lifeng still didn't want her to worry any longer, and whispered again:
"Ru'er, don't worry, nothing will happen, besides, this is Luo Muxi's own death, so he will order these two dishes that can't be served, even if something happens, it has nothing to do with you, and even if the queen mother is angry, at most, she will just let Mu Xi stay in the mansion obediently for a while, and nothing else will happen, you can rest assured."
Hearing Luo Lifeng say this, Lin Wanru was a little relieved, it was a big deal to sell Luo Muxi when the time came, anyway, it was not the first time Luo Lifeng had done such a thing, and he had never seen Luo Muxi angry.
Since Luo Lifeng can do this, then she should be able to do it too, after all, she is Luo Muxi's little imperial sister-in-law, and she has been agreed by Luo Lifeng.
Luo Muxi, who was worried, didn't know at all that the little imperial sister-in-law he had come to visit was already thinking in his heart that if the queen mother was to investigate it for a while, how should he betray his younger brother.
The four of them did it for a while, and the Queen Mother just looked at Luo Lifeng and Lin Wanru, and all Lin Wanru thought about in her head was how to make the Queen Mother turn off the fire for a while.
"Your Majesty, the minions in the imperial dining room have come over, saying that they are bringing lunch."
Hearing the sound outside the door, Lin Wanru's heart suddenly rose, and she thought to herself, hoping that Zhao Huai'an would remember what she told him yesterday and not pass on those two dishes, otherwise, she would have to find a way to make the Queen Mother calm her anger and sell Luo Muxi.
Watching the little eunuchs put the exquisite and delicious delicacies on the table one after another, Lin Wanru's heartbeat became faster and faster.
When she saw those two dishes, Lin Wanru's heart rose to her throat, and Zhao Huai'an, the bastard, finally ordered these two dishes.
"Queen Mother, hurry up and try this little lamb chop, this is really absolutely delicious, soft and delicious, soft but not greasy, it is really a rare delicacy."
Saying that, Lin Wanru used the chopsticks to cloth vegetables for the Queen Mother, seeing Lin Wanru so attentive, Luo Lifeng couldn't help but feel a little distressed, in fact, she didn't have to be like this at all.
"Okay, it's all your own people, and the queen mother loves you so much, if you are hungry, the queen mother will feel sorry for you in a while, so you can sit down quickly and take care of yourself."
Hearing Luo Lifeng say this, Lin Wanru was also a little restless, she didn't know whether to listen to Luo Lifeng's words or not.
Looking at Lin Wanru like this, the Queen Mother couldn't help but quip:
"Girl, just sit down quickly, didn't you hear what the emperor said just now? If you are starved, the emperor will lose his temper with the mourning family in a moment. β
When the Queen Mother said this, Lin Wanru also sat down, and looked at the dishes that Luo Lifeng gave her, Lin Wanru couldn't help but feel that she was really suffering too much today.
"Queen Mother, you are laughing, no matter how bold Luo Lifeng is, how dare he be angry with you? If he dares to get angry, the concubine will come to Shoukang Palace to accompany you and use it as a punching bag for you. β
Looking at Lin Wanru's serious look, the Queen Mother didn't know what to say.
Halfway through eating, the Queen Mother suddenly looked at the live drunk shrimp and three squeaks, and asked:
"Which of you loves these two dishes? Why is there no one to eat it? β
Hearing that the Queen Mother finally asked, Lin Wanru's little face turned white, and just as she was about to speak, she was pinched by Luo Lifeng's waist, just when she was a little confused, Luo Lifeng suddenly said:
"Queen Mother, these are Mu Xi's favorite food, I think it should be that he saw Zhao Huai'an when he came over just now, so he asked Zhao Huai'an to pass it on for him by the way, Queen Mother, you also know, usually Mu Xi likes to eat in the palace, he always feels that the taste made by the imperial chef in the palace is much better than that in his palace."
Luo Muxi looked at Luo Lifeng in disbelief, he really didn't expect that this person who betrayed him would be his brother, he often handled political affairs for his imperial brother, but he didn't expect his imperial brother to betray him like this.
This will Luo Muxi has only one thought in his heart, I am afraid that he should be finished, and this grounding is inevitable, but I hope that he has always been very well-behaved, and I hope that the Queen Mother can be punished lightly.
"Oh, since it's Mu Xi's favorite food, then you can eat it quickly, and go back after eating, Concubine Wan is not in good health now, and she needs to rest well, so don't bother her anymore."
Hearing the Queen Mother say this, Luo Muxi felt that she was about to cry excitedly.
Looking at Luo Muxi's strange face, although the Queen Mother couldn't figure out what was going on, she couldn't ask anything more, after all, they were all older, and they weren't those children anymore.
However, in the next second, the Queen Mother also somewhat understood why Luo Muxi had not eaten his favorite dishes all this time.
Listening to the "squeak" scream, the Queen Mother's face became more and more ugly.
"King Qi, can you tell the mourning family, what is the name of this dish you ordered?"
Looking at the direction of the Queen Mother's finger, Luo Muxi's face turned white in an instant, and he squeaked and whined for a long time, and he couldn't say a complete word.
Seeing him like this, Luo Lifeng couldn't help but speak again:
"After returning to my mother, I remember that Mu Xi once told me that the name of this dish seems to be 'Three Squeaks', according to Mu Xi, this seems to be made with a newborn little mouse, as for the specifics, I don't know very well. And the other dish seems to be live drunk shrimp. β
Hearing Luo Lifeng's words, Luo Muxi's whole person was so frightened that he knelt on the ground, he really didn't have the courage to tell the truth, and told the Queen Mother that his imperial brother had let him taste the two dishes first, if he really said so, I'm afraid the punishment he received would not be as simple as grounding.
With his black-bellied imperial brother, if he doesn't tire him to death, I'm afraid he won't be able to solve the hatred in his heart, in order not to annoy him, the black-bellied imperial brother, it seems that his black cauldron is really going to be decided today.
"King Qi, as a royal nobleman, you don't want you to act so absurdly, is this thing eaten by someone of your status? Even ordinary people can't eat enough, I'm afraid they won't necessarily eat these things, right?
Emperor, you let people check carefully, to see if there is anyone like King Qi, if there are people in the royal family like him, they will be punished together, as for King Qi, the mourning family sees that you are here to see your little imperial sister-in-law today, let's punish you lightly, just punish you for a month in the palace, this month of grounding, you must not see a trace of meat in your meal, otherwise, you will be fined for three years. β
Hearing the Queen Mother say this, Luo Muxi also felt that he was really lucky to listen, he was only punished for a month's grounding, not just a month of not being able to go out, it didn't seem to be difficult for him, but this couldn't let him see a trace of meat, how could this punishment sound so awkward?
"Yes, Erchen has thanked the queen mother for her great kindness, and he will definitely stay in the mansion well, and he will definitely not go out for a step, but, after the mother, can the son give him another month of grounding time?"
When the Queen Mother heard Luo Muxi say this, she didn't know his little abacus in her heart, did he think that as long as she added another month, she would allow him to eat meat? Isn't that a bit naΓ―ve?
"Huh? Well, since King Qi has asked you so, it is not good for the mourning family not to agree to you, then you will stay in the house for two months, and the mourning family will send the palace people around you to your mansion to supervise during these two months, and will definitely not let you have the slightest chance to come into contact with meat, let alone wine. β
