Chapter 115: Hump Soup

Mingzhu saw Yu Wenchu standing not far away, and she also wanted to see how Yu Wenchu would face this matter.

Yu Wenchu glanced at her calmly, took two steps forward, and said in a deep voice: "The emperor asked the minister to judge, but the minister inevitably wanted to show favoritism." ”

Yu Wenbai said with a smile: "What do you say? ”

Yu Wenchu said: "It's just a few words, it's not that there is no Queen Mother in your eyes." But it's true that it disturbed the Queen Mother's birthday banquet, but the Queen Mother is in great interest at the moment, and it is inevitable that the announcement will be ruined, so why don't you ask the emperor to punish her slightly? ”

Yuwen Bai smiled: "Okay." He looked at Mingzhu's face again, and said softly: "Cousin, how do you think it is appropriate to punish you two?" ”

Yu Wenbai's tone was intimate and easy-going, as if he asked her when he was a child: "Cousin, what fun did you bring me today", but Mingzhu shuddered, she remembered that after he got married at the age of sixteen, one day the two favored palace concubines made a fuss in order to compete for favor, and he also asked them in such a smiling tone, "Both of them must be punished, you say for yourself, how to punish them properly?" ”

The two palace concubines just thought he was joking with them, one said that he wanted the other party to learn how to climb and bark on the ground, and the other said that he wanted the other party to learn how to climb a tree and then jump down from a tree.

So he asked the palace concubine who said that he wanted the other party to learn to crawl and bark all the time, and he was not allowed to stop for a moment, and he would be beaten if he stopped; Another palace concubine who asked the other party to learn how to climb a tree had to climb the tree repeatedly and then jump down from the tree, it didn't matter if she couldn't climb it, the palace people took a red-hot steel needle and a leather whip with barbs and waited on the side. At that time, one of the palace concubines was also pregnant...... Even the Empress Dowager Min couldn't stop him, and when the Empress Dowager arrived, the palace concubine had already fallen from the tree and had a miscarriage and hemorrhage, and the other was frightened crazy and delirious.

Mingzhu smiled and said, "We did something wrong, the Holy Lord can punish him as he wants, and I have no complaints." "Although Yu Wenbai is brutal and smart now, he is still not as good as Yu Wenbai six years later, and now that the Fu family is still powerful, he doesn't dare even if he wants to kill her, at most he just humiliates her. She could stand it.

"Oh, my cousin said whatever I wanted." Yuwen Bai looked at Fu Ning with a smile: "Auntie, what about you?" ”

Fu Ningzao turned white with fright, and looked at Yu Wenchu with anxiety, but saw that Yu Wenchu's gloomy face did not look at her, so he had to cry and say with a sad face: "I am also at the disposal of the emperor." ”

"Okay, then my aunt will go and run ten laps around Zhaoyang Palace." Yu Wenbai said this lightly, and pointed to the chief eunuch beside him: "He Zhengtu, you go, supervise the eldest princess of Funing for me, don't let her be idle." ”

He Zhengtu's face wrinkled into a bitter gourd, and he looked at Yu Wenchu in embarrassment: "This ......"

Running ten laps around Zhaoyang Palace, how could she finish it? It's not allowed to take a break, I'm afraid that people will be tired to death after running, let alone lose their faces. Fu Ning almost didn't cry, and looked at Yu Wenchu with tears in his eyes: "Sixth brother, ......"

Yu Wenchu turned his face away and ignored Princess Funing.

"The eldest princess is crying like this, is she dissatisfied with me and the Queen Mother?" Yu Wenbai's face was gloomy in an instant, and his voice was so strong that he refused to call his aunt.

Princess Funing lost her support, and she was very aggrieved, and she didn't dare to really cry, so she had to endure and say: "Obey the emperor's orders." Glancing at Mingzhu again, he asked unwillingly, "What about her?" ”

"Cousin, I'll tell her when I remember. Isn't the eldest princess going? Rubbing what? Yu Wenbai laughed, and asked Mingzhu again: "Cousin, are you satisfied with my verdict?" ”

Mingzhu showed a bright smile at him: "I am extremely satisfied with the emperor's judgment." "It's terrible, this time it's Concubine Min, Funing, or Yuwenchu, it's inevitable that this matter will be recorded on her head, but she doesn't care at all, Funing deserves it, this is called the wicked have their own wicked grinding.

Yuwen Bai glanced around with a smile, and said coldly: "Since my cousin is satisfied, I am also satisfied." This family affair is approved by the Empress Dowager and me, who dares to say a word nonsense, I will pull out her tongue! ”

Princess Funing glared at Mingzhu resentfully and sobbed.

In a previous life, this did not happen. But after thinking about it this time, Fu Ning's temperament that doesn't have a long brain will probably be much more restrained. Mingzhu was thinking about it, and listened to Yuwen Bai say: "Why don't you see my younger brothers and sisters?" ”

Mingzhu came to his senses again, waiting for him to make trouble with all his attention, but Yu Wenbai glanced at her with a smile and said: "I heard that the second brother is sick, so sick that he can't even come to the Queen Mother's Qianqiu Banquet, but it's a pity that his favorite hump soup, I want to visit the patient, but I really can't leave at this time...... In this way, I punished my cousin for sending a hump soup to my second brother, and then asked him for my help. ”

This hump soup may not be the second prince's favorite food, but there is an allusion here. When Emperor Zhengqian was still alive, he once asked a few children what they liked to eat, and the second prince said that he had seen such a famous dish as "hump soup" from ancient poems, and he had always wanted to know what it tasted like, but unfortunately the emperor's father was still frugal and had no chance to taste it. Emperor Zhengqian laughed and said: "I am rich in the world, and I can't let my children not even know what hump soup is like." Then he ordered the imperial chef to cure a hump soup and reward it to the second prince, so everyone said that Emperor Zhengqian loved the second prince the most.

Yu Wenbai mentioned this dish at this time, and the jealousy in it is not difficult to understand. According to the rules, the food that the emperor rewarded should be eaten in front of the envoy, not to mention whether the second prince can eat this dish when he is sick, but if this hump soup is poisoned, how can she say clearly? Poisoning the prince, this is not as vague as Yu Wenyou killing himself in her room. Even if the evidence is insufficient, she can't be killed, her future will be ruined, not to mention marrying the prince, I'm afraid that she will never be able to enter the palace again and appear in front of people.

Although the possibility of this happening is extremely small, no matter how anxious the Empress Dowager Min is, she will not so blatantly poison the prince, but Mingzhu was bitten by a snake for three years and was afraid of the well rope, and when she was on guard, she saw that there were ghosts in everything, and she couldn't help but look at Yu Wenchu.

Yu Wenchu stood there quietly and looked at her, the sleeves of his robe did not move at all, his eyes were calm, and his face was serene. He didn't need to speak, just looked at it quietly, and Mingzhu's heart calmed down - if he couldn't refuse, then he agreed first, so he smiled and saluted: "Obey." ”
