Chapter 90: I Want to Do Something Too
Qinghe, who returned to the netherworld to recover his aura, also heard a lot of bad things about Da Ji Zhong Yuan and Gu Gesang.
The ghosts don't know where to hear the rumors, saying that His Royal Highness the Night King is not sensible, and that the princess is simply here to wreak havoc.
Qinghe didn't argue with the ghosts sitting in the teahouse chatting, she returned to the Yang Realm and found that Gu Gesang and the two had not returned to the villa, and she didn't want to live under the same roof with Zhu Yi, a female ghost, so after saying hello to Zhilei, she returned to the Netherworld alone to see if Gu Gesang was stumped by something.
Not long after, Gu Gesang, who was bored in the Night King's Palace, heard the people of the Ghost Palace preaching: "Suoling Qinghe asks to see the princess Niangniang, Niangniang, can you see it?" ”
"Call her in!" Gu Gesang was delighted.
But after a while, Gu Gesang saw a familiar figure.
"Princess, why haven't you and Your Highness returned to the Yang Realm yet? Hey, what about Your Highness? Qinghe walked in and was surprised to find that Daji Zhongyuan was not there.
"Qinghe, you came just in time, Zhong Yuan said to go and report the situation to Lord Ghost God, but he hasn't come back yet, I always feel that something is wrong."
Qinghe didn't intend to spoil Gu Gesang's mood by telling the gossip outside, so he deliberately pretended not to know, "Really? ”
"I just asked a ghost guard, Zhong Yuan, where he went, and he was also distracted. Qinghe, do you think something will happen to Zhong Yuan? The more Gu Gesang spoke, the more anxious he became.
"Relax the princess, this is the netherworld, except for the ghosts and gods, who would dare to treat His Royal Highness the Night King? Moreover, His Highness has extraordinary abilities, and there are few people in the world who have the ability to do anything to him. Qinghe said with relief.
"But...... Also, I just asked the ghost guard, and he said that someone outside said bad things about me. I haven't been to the Netherworld a few times, have I done something wrong? Gu Gesang walked around irritably.
"Now the Netherworld doesn't seem to have a good opinion of you and Your Highness, I guess someone impeached Your Highness, and the Ghost God Lord is probably looking for Your Highness because of this matter, and when it is dealt with, Your Highness will come back."
"Someone impeached? Is it out of nowhere? Qinghe's words not only did not comfort Gu Gesang, but made her even more anxious.
In her opinion, Da Ji Zhongyuan's three views are straight, and if she wants to make a mistake, someone else makes a mistake, how can her husband make a mistake?
"If the princess is really so worried, then go to the ghost god and ask."
"But...... On what grounds should I go to the Oni and God? ”
"Why are you so indecisive, you just go if you want to." Qinghe looked at Gu Gesang amusedly.
Gu Gesang thought about it for a long time, and suddenly thought of the cold noodles that he hadn't offered to the ghost god because he was manipulated before.
"That's right, I learned to make cold noodles on the birthday of the ghost god before, and I wanted to give it to the ghost god, but I don't know who made it by hand, and the cold noodles have become moldy and spoiled. I want to make some cold noodles to visit the oni-sama, so how about using this as an excuse? But this is the underworld, and there are no ingredients......" Gu Gesang's brows that had just stretched furrowed furrowed again.
Qinghe looked at Gu Gesang's pitiful little face and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
She also had such a love affair with a person, and she also washed her hands and made soup for him, she waited for him for a thousand years, but changed to such an ending. Even if I put it down now, I still feel a little uncomfortable thinking about what I used to do. Even if you let it go, how can you forget the thousand years of lonely waiting.
"It's okay with the ingredients, the Yang Realm will give some tribute to the Netherworld every once in a while, so I'll just steal some ingredients."
"Steal?" Gu Gesang Mune's eyes widened, "There is nothing else-"
"Where are you going to get the ingredients without stealing them?" Qinghe is angry and funny.
Gu Gesang raised his hand to cover his eyes, looking like he was covering his ears and stealing the bell, "Okay then!" Go and come back quickly, stay safe! …… Also, if you are discovered, run quickly, the ingredients or something are still secondary. Qinghe, don't get distracted, do you hear? Gu Gesang was still a little worried, and told Qinghe.
"Got it, don't worry, isn't it just stealing some ingredients...... Don't talk about it. Qinghe's tone seemed to be a little impatient, but he felt warm in his heart, maybe Gu Gesang was the only person in the world who would care about her and worry about her.
After Qinghe left, Gu Gesang was restless, worried about Daji Zhongyuan and Qinghe's safety.
And in the Ghost God Temple, both the Lord Ghost God and the Ghost God Niangniang looked at their son lying on the bed with worried expressions.
The Everbright Lantern was originally refined from the souls of generations of ghosts and gods, and it was intended to punish future generations for their introspection, and it would not have caused damage to the ghosts of future generations, but Da Ji Zhongyuan lacked a heart, and he still couldn't withstand the admonition of his ancestors.
The ghost mother sat on the edge of the bed, looking at her son's pale face, and her brows were twisted into a knot.
"Don't cry, Yuan'er just can't bear the pressure of the ever-bright lamp and is a little out of strength, and he can recover later." The oni-sama gently patted his wife's back and comforted her.
"We finally survived such a son, and the heart was stolen by thieves...... Now that I know that the coercion of the ever-bright lamp alone can make him lose his strength, how can this not worry me? The ghost god Niangniang became even more nervous when she said this, and turned her head to look at the ghost god, "This matter must not be known to people outside the palace!" Otherwise...... I don't know what dirty calculations they are going to make! ”
"Madam, don't worry, I also hurt Yuan'er. It's been dealt with and will never let anyone else know. ”
——
It didn't take long for Qinghe to return with noodles and some other ingredients, and Gu Gesang greeted her happily.
"Qinghe, you're back!"
"Well, I brought some noodles and some spices or something, do you think that's enough?"
"Enough, enough, Aozuru, thank you so much." Gu Gesang took the ingredients and looked at them, then raised his head and smiled at Qinghe.
Gu Gesang brought the ingredients and summoned a ghost maid to let her lead the way to the kitchen, and suddenly remembered something, turned back to Qinghe and said, "Qinghe, can you do me another favor?" ”
"Say it."
"Can you help me with the wind? The last time I was going to give the dish to my father-in-law, someone made it and broke it, and I ...... I have palpitations. Gu Gesang whispered.
"Does the princess know who did it?" Qinghe frowned and asked.
"I don't know who it is, but I suspect someone."
"Who?"
"Zhu Yi."
"Zhu Yi?" Qinghe was surprised, "Since the princess knows that Zhu Yi is not a good person, why does she still show so much trust in her?" Last time I reminded you that Zhu Yi is not a good person, why don't you seem to believe me? ”
"Qinghe, I'm sorry last time, it's not that I don't believe you, I'm just afraid of startling the snake." Gu Gesang hurriedly explained.
"Surprise the snake?"
"yes...... Zhu Yi tried his best to sneak to Zhong Yuan's side, and even the ghost god mother didn't find that she was wrong, this person's mind was deep and visible. Zhong Yuan and I both think that there is someone behind Zhu Yi, a little maid has such a deep mind, and the forces behind it cannot be underestimated, we plan to keep her, one day she will show her feet, so that we can follow the vine and eradicate the forces behind her in one fell swoop. The more Gu Gesang spoke, the quieter he became, always afraid that the wall would have ears.
"That's right." "So when did you notice something was wrong with her?" ”
"I found out a long time ago, don't underestimate my sixth sense." Gu Gesang winked playfully.
"So that's the case, that's why you and Your Highness deliberately showed so much trust in Zhu Yi, and promoted her to be a housekeeper, just to let her relax her vigilance?"
"yes."
"I didn't expect you to be quite smart, princess." Qinghe praised Gu Gesang after understanding.
"Hey, hey! Am I stupid? Gu Gesang's voice was raised, and he pretended to be angry and asked Qinghe.
"No, no, I'm not right." Qinghe covered his mouth and smiled.
Gu Gesang knew that she definitely didn't think so in her heart when she looked at Qinghe's appearance, but she was also very happy to see Qinghe's lively and vivid expression, she had always been worried that Qinghe would be angry because of Zhang Ke's matter, and now it seems that she really let go.
"Let's go, let's go to the kitchen, see me show you a hand, I studied for a long time last time!" Gu Gesang raised the ingredients in his hand and gestured to Qinghe.
"Okay, if there are more ingredients later, I want to try the princess's craftsmanship." Qinghe smiled and followed behind Gu Gesang.
"Okay." Gu Gesang replied without hesitation.
Although no one in the netherworld needs to eat, the facilities of the Night King Hall are very complete, and there are all kinds of pots and pans in the kitchen, Gu Gesang sighed.
The ghost maid on the side answered, "These are all carefully prepared by His Royal Highness the Night King. ”
"Really?" Gu Gesang exclaimed.
"Yes, His Royal Highness the Night King said that the princess is a person in the yang world, even if you come to the underworld in the form of spiritual sense, you don't need to eat, maybe you will need it, so I asked the slave and the others to prepare these utensils, but the ingredients are not easy to preserve, so we haven't had time to prepare this time."
Qinghe looked at Gu Gesang playfully, Gu Gesang quietly blushed, and said in shame, "I'm going to cook." ”
Gu Gesang set aside the ingredients, and Qinghe watched from the side, beware of someone making an obstacle again.
An hour later.
"Princess, aren't your cold noodles ready yet?" Qinghe looked at Gu Gesang who was in a hurry speechlessly.
"No, it's going to be right away! Then...... What should I put next......"
"Will you really do it?" Qinghe stopped Gu Gesang from adding salt to the pot again, and asked suspiciously.
"I studied for three days last time, and I'll do it." Gu Gesang replied with little confidence.
"How did you do it after three days of study, but it's still like this?" Azuru asked, raising her voice.
"I forgot, I obviously did a good job last time......" Gu Gesang muttered.
Qinghe held his forehead: "I really shouldn't have praised you for being smart just now." Come, I'll teach you. ”
"Qinghe, can you cook? I only know that Zhu Yiting is good at cooking. ”
"I learned it for him." Qinghe smiled bitterly.
Seeing that Qinghe's sadness was mentioned, Gu Gesang hurriedly changed the topic and asked Qinghe to guide her to make cold noodles, although he was still clumsy, but under Qinghe's guidance, the final product was still good.
"Great, Qinghe, you're amazing!" Gu Gesang hugged Qinghe excitedly and said happily.
"It's nothing, now you can go to the Oni-sama."
Gu Gesang hesitated a little, looked at Qinghe, lowered his head again, and stopped talking.
"If you have something to say, just say it." Qinghe raised an eyebrow.
"Can you come with me to the Oni-sama? I...... I was a little nervous. ”
Qinghe put the cold noodles into the food box with his own hands, looked at Gu Gesang, who was a little uneasy, smiled slightly, and agreed.
