Chapter 54: Prelude

Xiao Yu took the expedited recital, read it at a very fast speed, and after thinking for a moment, he ordered Xu Lindao, who was guarding beside him: "Immediately order Cao Chun to lead ten imperial doctors to set off for Gannan Road overnight!" and ordered the military department to transfer Xuanwuwei to Gannan Province to prevent the victims from making trouble! ”

"Slaves obey!" After Xu Lin responded, he hurriedly ran to announce the decree.

Xiao Yu sat on the dragon chair tiredly, he didn't expect the plague to come so quickly, but he hoped that Cao Chun would be able to control the epidemic in time.

Before Xu Lin came back, he saw a black eagle flying from the window, standing on Xiao Yu's table, and a small bamboo tube was hanging at the feet of the black eagle.

As soon as Xiao Yu saw the Black Eagle, he was shocked, and hurriedly took off the small bamboo tube from the Black Eagle's feet, and the Black Eagle flew away immediately.

The small bamboo tube was hollow, and Xiao Yu took out a roll of paper from it, on which a sentence was written: "There is not a drop in the three Taiping warehouses in Hexi!" ”

"Damn Qi Yuanzheng!"

Xiao Yu couldn't wait to immediately raise his sword to cut Qi Yuanzheng.

Hexi Sandao, led by several officials, are all from the Zhenguo Gong Party, but they didn't expect Qi Yuanzheng to be arrogant to this point!

Originally, in the Taiping of Chu State, there was no shortage of shoddy and false reports, and the officials also covered up each other, but they had some scruples, so that even if there was a deficit, there would not be much difference.

But no one dares to be like Hexi Sandao, so bold that he directly empties the entire Hexi Sandao's Taiping! It is conceivable that if there is no Qi Yuanzheng's approval, who of the officials of Sandao would dare to make their own claims?! Who would dare to take on such a big responsibility!

Xiao Yu felt that it was time for this town to disappear.

The next day, Xiao Yu once again arranged the handling of the disaster in Gannan Province in detail. After the next dynasty, Xiao Yu went straight to Concubine Su's Ninghui Palace.

"How is the concubine lately?"

Xiao Yu greeted Concubine Su and said.

Concubine Su only raised her eyelids, still reciting her Buddhist scriptures, and did not mean to deal with Xiao Yu.

In the eyes of outsiders, Concubine Su's courage is really big enough.

But Xiao Yu was not surprised, and said with a smile: "The concubine is blaming me for taking Chu Yurou away?" ”

When Concubine Su heard Xiao Yu mention Chu Yurou, she put down the Buddhist scriptures in her hand and said, "Back then, we agreed that the Su family would help you seize the throne, and Chu Yurou would be handed over to me." ”

"But now that the situation has changed, you must also know the news that Xiao Che is still alive."

When Xiao Yu mentioned Xiao Che, his tone was a little bad.

Concubine Su nodded and said, "I know, so I only wanted to kill Chu Yurou that night, but I didn't expect that Wang Zhi would first stir up the situation, and then be robbed by your people to take Chu Yurou away." ”

"Chu Yurou can't die yet, if she dies, we will no longer be able to find out Xiao Che's traces, so we can only let him hide in the shadows." Xiao Yu knows Xiao Che's ability very well, and he is not below him.

If Xiao Che succeeds in hiding in the shadows, then he will be very passive.

"Since you didn't want to hand over Chu Yurou to me, then why did you come to me today?" Concubine Su was obviously in no mood to continue talking to Xiao Yu.

"I came this time to ask Concubine Su, does the Su family still want to return to its former glory?"

Xiao Yu said about Concubine Su's heart.

When it comes to the Su family, it can almost be called a century-old family, the ancestor of the Su family back then, but the founder of the Chu State.

But later, the Su family was tabooed by the emperors of the Chu State, weakened from generation to generation, and from the prince of the year, to the present time, the title is gone, and the highest is only the gateway of a hussar general.

This is the grievance of the Su family in the past generations, and each generation has been passed on with the obsession of restoring the glory of the past.

Although Concubine Su no longer wanted to enter the court to fight, she had to pay attention to the Su family.

"You're going to do it?"

Concubine Su was able to participate in the seizure of the throne back then, not only by virtue of her identity as a concubine and the support of the Su family, but also by her own keen intuition.

Xiao Yu doesn't like the Duke of Zhenguo, which Concubine Su knew when Xiao Yu was still a prince.

When Xiao Yu was still young, he had seen a lot of bullying in the Zhenguo Mansion, and he understood that the first emperor's support and trust in the Zhenguo Mansion, he had left a huge tumor in the Chu State.

It wasn't until later, when the Duke of Zhenguo married the Beiqing Palace, that the first emperor suddenly discovered that he had raised a wolf. But at that time, the first emperor was terminally ill and had no time to suppress Zhenguo Gong, so he had to leave this mess to Xiao Yu and go west by himself.

"I've arranged everything, and I'm waiting for tomorrow to have results. At that time, he also asked the concubine to send a message to General Su and asked him to take someone to receive the tiger talisman in Qi Yuanzheng's hand. ”

After Xiao Yu finished explaining, he left.

Concubine Su immediately ordered Su Qi to go to Su Mansion and inform General Su of the news.

Xiao Yu left Ninghui Palace, but he remembered Nie Yan, who had been busy dealing with the flood in Gannan Province for the past two days, as if he hadn't visited her for a long time.

"Drive the Beichen Palace."

In Beichen Palace, Nie Yan didn't know that Xiao Yu was coming, and was pulling Su Yun and Wan Hui in the small kitchen, making snacks with her own hands.

"Niangniang, what is the name of this snack, why haven't you seen it? Is it only for Nanzhan? Wan Hui asked with a wink.

Nie Yan smiled: "This is called Ruyi cake, and women in the north will make it." ”

"But Niangniang, isn't Nanzhan in the south?" Wan Hui was puzzled.

Nie Yan suddenly realized that she had lost her words, and she was immersed in the memories of her mother teaching her to make ruyi cakes, but she didn't notice that she said such a thing for a while.

"A few days ago, Niangniang just asked the slave maid to find a few pastry-making recipes, but I didn't expect Niangniang to learn the recipe of Ruyi cake so quickly."

Su Yun said with admiration.

As soon as Wan Hui said this, it suddenly dawned on her that it was the credit of the recipe.

Nie Yan smiled lightly, looking at Su Yun with a slightly meaningful look, but she didn't say anything.

It just so happened that Xiao Yu had already arrived at Beichen Palace at this time, and in order to surprise Nie Yan, he did not let anyone inform him.

I heard that the palace people of Beichen Palace said that Nie Yan was in the small kitchen at this time, and she couldn't help but be interested.

"You're all waiting here, I'm going in alone." Xiao Yu instructed the group of eunuchs behind him.

Then Xiao Yu walked into the small kitchen.

I just heard Wan Hui boasting: "Niangniang is really powerful, and what she has learned now is better than that of a slave for more than ten years." ”

Hearing this, Xiao Yu said: "What good thing did Concubine Shu do that can make people praise like this?" ”

Only then did Nie Yan and the others find that Xiao Yu had arrived at the door, and hurriedly saluted.

Xiao Yu waved his hand and motioned for them to flatten.

Nie Yan said: "The concubine has read a few cookbooks recently, and she is greedy for it, so she just thought about making a few things for fun, Your Majesty is not allowed to laugh at the concubine." ”

Xiao Yu looked at Nie Yan's face with a few places of flour, but he didn't know it, so he swept away his previous gloomy mood and said with a slight smile: "Don't worry, I will never laugh at you." ”
