Chapter 424: Changes in the Palace
Qiu Daqian tied his belt and said with a smile: "All the way down, King Han was scared when he saw Miss from afar, and when he heard that Miss was going to give him fried scorpions to eat, I am afraid his face was green." โ
Huang Ba had already moved away from a stone, holding the fire fold and just waiting for the scorpion to come out and wander around, he laughed when he heard this: "The children who grew up in the palace can't eat such a delicacy, it's really unpalatable." โ
"Okay, don't be poor." Huang Liang rolled up his sleeves and participated, "A little bit of your hand is light, you can grab enough of the amount that Miss needs, let's get some extra, and I'll show you a hand at night!" โ
Huang Ba and Qiu Daqian were so hungry that they drooled.
The last trace of afterglow was swallowed up by the dark night that filled the sky, and Huang Ba immediately blew up the fire fold, and Huang Liang and Qiu Daqian also burned one after another.
The three of them each crouched at the mouth of the cave and waited.
The wind blows through the mountains, pouring straight from the top of the mountain to the mountain and gradually flattening out, and the taste is dry, mixed with the rough texture of the wind and sand.
Ruan Miaoling, who had never traveled so far, greedily admired the scenery in front of her and slowly stroked the bracelet on her wrist.
"Miss, you're asking for enough." Huang Liang patted the bamboo basket on his leg and immediately threw himself into the next round of arrest.
Qiu Daqian untied a bamboo tube from his waist and pressed the lid of the bamboo basket, lest the scorpion break the lid and escape.
"The scorpion is not out of the hole at this time, Miss may have to wait a little longer, why don't you take advantage of this time to feed the ants in the bamboo tube poisonous water first."
Huang Liang said: "How can you let the young lady do this kind of work, have you forgotten how your uncle explained?" โ
He secretly glanced at Ruan Miaoling, and saw that she was still looking at the sky in a daze, his fingers turned the bracelet on his wrist one by one, and hit Qiu Daqian and Huang Ba with his elbow.
Knowing that the young lady was thinking about her uncle, they stopped talking loudly, and Huang Ba said in a low voice: "I'll feed the ants in a while." โ
Among the three, Huang Ba is the most patient, Huang Liang and Qiu Daqian knew that he liked to do this, so they didn't rob him.

It was rare that the king of Han was still very awake at this hour, so he asked someone to move a chair and sit in front of the tent to enjoy the stars in the sky.
Si Fan saw the fire in the distance and said, "Third Miss, they're back!" โ
Huang Liang and the others each carried a bamboo basket, and they didn't need to look at King Han to know that it must be filled with dense scorpions with transparent shells.
He looked away at Ruan Miaoling, "This is not the capital, why don't you go out and tell my uncle and me, it made me worry all night." โ
"Surprise my cousin, how can I say it in advance." Ruan Miaoling was about to come over with a bamboo basket, "Do you want to take a look at my cousin?" โ
King Han jumped up and said, "No need, this king is tired for a day and goes to sleep." โ
Huang Liang looked at each other and smiled.
"Miss, you go back and rest first, we will send the scorpion over when we blow it up."
Ruan Miaoling called Dongzi to the big tent, and when Dongzi came in, he was still holding a wooden box, which was covered with the sand that Huang Liang and they had brought back.
"It's really an honor to be able to watch my junior sister refine poison with my own eyes." He put the box down, poured the scorpion in the bamboo basket into it, and praised the scorpion for its freshness.
Ruan Miaoling took out a bottle of medicine from the box, came out and heard him say this, and said with a smile: "Huang Liang will send a plate over in a while, you can take it and try it." โ
Dongzi said: "Then how can I let the master know that I grabbed food with my junior sister, and I will not be punished." โ
She gave the ants to the scorpion first, then mixed the pills in the bottle with water, poured them into several fingernail-sized containers, and picked them up with chopsticks and put them in wooden boxes.
"I don't like to eat insects very much, because I thought that my senior brother was from Shandong, and he must be good at this, so I asked Huang Liang and them for a plate."
"Then I'll be respectful and obey my fate!" Dongzi smiled and went to look at the scorpions, saw them swarming to drink the water in the container, and asked, "This water is tasteless?" โ
Scorpions don't like to eat flavorful water, but it is not easy to make tasteless poison, and the junior sister must have worked hard.
Ruan Miaoling said with a smile: "It's okay, before leaving, the master gave me a book, and I made it after learning." โ
Dongzi's heart ached slightly.
In the past, the master had to read a rare prescription for him for three or five days, and he thought he was stupid, but he was very generous to his sister.
The way of the world has really changed here in his master's place, not for men and for women.
Sour to sour, Dongzi still admires his sister's ability. "What is the use of the junior sister suddenly raising so many scorpions?"
"I haven't thought about it yet, let's take it one step at a time, if anyone makes me unhappy, it's okay to fry it for him." Ruan Miaoling chuckled.

"What did Madame write in the letter, and Childe is so happy?"
Jin Ting stretched his neck to read the letter in Xu Yuan's hand while grinding ink.
Xu Yuan took out one and gave it to Jin Ting, with a smile on his face, "King Han was greedy to steal the scorpion she raised, and he was stung by the scorpion." โ
Jin Ting looked down the letter and said happily: "Madame has arrived in Qinghai Wei so soon, and I have also seen Wen'er." โ
Hurry, Xu Yuan looked down at the familiar handwriting on the letter, these two months seemed like two years......
Xuejin strode in: "Childe, Lord Qin sent someone to pass the word, the emperor seems to be unable to do it, please enter the palace immediately to prepare the edict." โ
The Hanlin Academy is not from the Qin Rank, so it has to be Li Shoufu and Guo Cifu to send someone to inform it, Jin Tingqi said: "Why is it that Lord Qin's people are here to spread the word?" โ
Xuejin said: "The palace is already in chaos, Li Shoufu and Guo Cifu first learned the news from the noble concubine Niangniang, and then informed the Governor of Qin, who ordered several sons in the family to spread the word to each family......"
The sons of the Qin family go to the mansions of officials above the third grade, and when they come to their sons, it is already very good to have people who are willing to run errands here.
At this juncture, who cares if Xu Yuan is a celebrity in front of King Han.
The king of Han is not in the capital, it must be the king of Qi who is dominant, and whoever doesn't have long eyes is stupid.
Xu Yuan immediately went back to the house to change into official clothes, and asked Xuejin who was standing at the door: "Is the divine doctor in the palace?" โ
Xuejin said: "I went after the doctor sent Bao Niu and Xi Cub early this morning, and I haven't seen them back." โ
Right now, the two children are still playing with Xiangqiao.
Jin Ting prepared the carriage, Xu Yuan stuck out his head after going up and said, "Don't go, Xiangqiao's side is seeing that the day is coming, Xie Min has been so busy recently that his feet don't touch the ground, and he hasn't come back for a few days." You prepare hot water at home at any time, and then invite Mrs. Ye over to take care of the subordinates. โ
"The little ones are all written down." Jin Ting frowned and said: "Son, after you enter the palace, beware of Lord Qin, he has always been looking for fault with you in various things in the past two months, and this time he will definitely take advantage of King Han's absence to embarrass you again." โ
Xu Yuan bowed his head, patted him lightly on the shoulder, and said, "Don't worry, the family will leave it to you, as soon as Mrs. Hui comes back from the northwest, I will be the matchmaker for you." โ
Jin Ting was not in the mood to laugh today, put down the curtain for Xu Yuan, and turned around and instructed Xuejin: "We can do what we do today, because the son is willing to look down on us, and now is the time to repay the son." โ
