Stop, who is that person? Little Guizi, are you going to take a look? Behind Anne, the black shadow at the bottom of the fan furnace quickly chased over, Anne was startled, lifted the skirt, pulled the skirt on her feet, and before she ran two steps, the back was pulled by the black shadow, and she heard a deep and terrifying voice behind her: "Which palace are you from?" What are you doing in the Fengxi Palace? ”

Anne didn't understand what he said, but she didn't dare to move in a panic, and the shadow turned her head, and the image of a little eunuch came into her eyes.

"Huh? It's ......" Xiao Guizi was at a loss all of a sudden, he recognized Annie, Annie's appearance was too easy to identify, although Xiao Guizi had never seen her, he also knew her identity.

Another person also chased over, it was Zhu Jun, these days he has been sleeping in the side hall of the harem, Qu Ci woke up in the middle of the night and was hungry, this was originally a normal physiological phenomenon of pregnant women, Zhu Jun first wanted to ask people to go directly to the imperial dining room to those pastries, and then suddenly remembered the popular vinegar chicken soup in his hometown in his previous life, this thing is extremely nourishing, and it is sour, it is very suitable for pregnant women to eat, and he can't sleep when he gets up in the middle of the night anyway, so he called the sleepy-eyed Xiao Guizi to find some materials, and made a stove to make chicken soup in the pavilion.

Zhu Jun is the first time to cook things since the crossing, there is a gas stove in the previous life, no matter how bad it is, at least there is still honeycomb coal, but although Haidu in this era has begun to mine coal and burn briquettes, but because the coal has a lot of impurities, not only to incite the bottom of the furnace to promote heat, but also accompanied by a lot of smoke in the process of combustion, at this moment Zhu Jun and Xiao Guizi's faces are all black stains of smoke, although it is not terrifying in the dark night, it is also startling at first glance.

Zhu Jun saw Anne's face, Anne in the moonlight looked panicked and overwhelmed, Zhu Jun originally wanted to scold who was so bold to run around in the middle of the night, when he saw that it was Anne, his heart softened, and he knew how she had been recently, in the middle of the night a woman wandered alone in the tall palace wall, obviously not much better, Zhu Jun moistened his throat, told Xiao Guizi to go back and take care of the fire, wiped his hands that were a little black, and said, "Miss Anne hasn't slept yet?" ”

Anne understood what Zhu Jun said, she looked at the dark-faced strange man in front of her, but she felt that his tone was a little familiar, but she didn't recognize it as Zhu Jun, although she met hastily last time, but she didn't have much of a deep impression of Zhu Jun and left, Anne heard the long-lost hometown voice and suddenly calmed down, and the feeling of fear went a lot, although the other party's spoken language was not standard, and the sound was strange. “

Zhu Jun saw that Anne didn't speak, but thought she was frightened, and hurriedly said, "Why don't you even bring a maidservant when you go out at night?" Zhu Jun's tone this time was a little blameful. Anne felt a lot warmer, like a floating duckweed found support, she finally spoke, her face a little embarrassed: "I'm lost." ”

Zhu Jun smiled dumbly, his coal-black face grinned, revealing his white teeth that were very dazzling in the moonlight: "I'll go and ask someone to take you back." Zhu Jun looked around left and right, there was no one around, at this time the lights in each hall had been turned off and went to bed, the eunuchs who were patrolling the night had not passed here, there were a few eunuchs on duty at the palace gate in the distance, but the road was far, Zhu Jun sighed: "It's better to be like this, you wait here first." ”

Zhu Jun led Anne to the pavilion, at this time the vinegar in the porcelain urn was boiling, and there was a burst of vinegar fragrance, Zhu Jun wrapped the urn lid in a cloth and pinched it and looked at it, and saw the chicken tumbling inside through the light emitted by the lantern in the pavilion, and closed it again, this soup should be boiled slowly, at least there is still an hour, only pity Xiao Guizi, lying under the small stove fanning the wind, as if his face was full of black smoke.

Anne looked at it reservedly for a moment. I felt a pungent smell of smoke at the tip of my nose. Then the porcelain urn gradually emitted a faint fragrance. In the end, I couldn't help but ask Zhu Jun: "What are you doing here?" ”

"Boil the soup." Zhu Jun replied to her. There is a sense of accomplishment in my heart. Fight a winning battle and a bowl of soup although the result is different. But the sense of accomplishment is the same. Do a good job of a subtle thing for Zhu Jun. It's even more comfortable than being in the military and politics all day. All the processes are ready. The lack of space is time. Zhu Jun was very interested in telling Anne how to make vinegar chicken soup. Anne had never been exposed to cooking. Live in pampered dignity, no matter what country you live in, the same is true of the royal family. She didn't even know how the bread was made. At this time, I heard Zhu Jundi explain. Ignorance again. I feel new again.

Every few minutes. Zhu Jun had to lift the lid and stir it in the urn with a large spoon. Otherwise, the chicken nuggets tend to stick together with various ingredients. Although this is thick. But it has a bitter taste. Qu Ci is pregnant. I love to eat sour things. Anne watched with throbbing. also learned from Zhu Jun's appearance, and as a result, the soup spoon helped Zhu Jun stir together. For Anne. The man in front of him with a dark face was very terrifying. But it always gives her a reassuring taste. At least she forgot about her misfortune for a while.

Zhu Jun saw that Anne was interested. Let her go. Over time. The flavor of the soup in the porcelain urn is getting stronger and stronger. Anne smelled this

。 I am very accomplished in my heart. She was doing things for the first time. Although only insignificant. But for a princess like her, it's also remarkable.

The three people under the pavilion seem to have formed a tacit understanding. Xiao Guizi is in charge of fanning the fire. Anne kept stirring the soup. Only one Zhu Jun sat on the stone bench to explain to Anne. Some people may get tired of hearing about this kind of trivial life. But in relation to this garment, he stretched out his hand. The meal is very novel for the princess of the royal family.

An hour later, the vinegar soup was finally cooked, Xiao Guizi brought the container that had already been placed on the stone table, put it into the food box, Zhu Jun took two people to the dormitory, did not think that Qu Ci had already slept, Zhu Jun smiled, did not push the door in, sent the food box to Xiao Guizi, let Qu Ci eat when he got up at night, he yawned, sleepiness hit, then he noticed Anne on the side, he chatted too focused, and actually forgot that Anne was lost, so he beat the spirit and let Xiao Guizi put away the food box first and sent Anne back to the palace.

Anne followed Guizi a few steps behind, and when she looked back, her eyes shining in the moonlight: "What is your name?" ”

Zhu Jun was stunned, it turned out that Anne hadn't recognized him after talking for so long, how did he know that his face had already turned into a black pot, in fact, it was not only him, Xiao Guizi was even darker, Anne was not much better, when the soup was stirred, it was just facing the smoke, and his face was also black and white, Zhu Jun smiled and didn't speak, wouldn't it be good to meet at night and leave people a little suspense? He believed that Anne would know sooner or later.

Seeing that Zhu Jun didn't answer, Anne reluctantly withdrew her eyes and followed Xiao Guizi for a few steps, suddenly gritted her teeth, turned around again, and said to Zhu Jun: "Sir, are you the chef here and will you not be here tomorrow?" ”

Zhu Jun was stunned for a moment, and said casually: "I live here." ”

Anne then twisted her waist and left.

Zhu Jun's head was full of drowsiness at this time, and he really didn't want to have too much entanglement with Anne, so he went back to the dormitory alone and slept peacefully.

This sleep is the third pole of the day, today's morning court missed again, the chamberlain hurriedly came to report, saying that the cabinet had sent military information, and Li Xiong, who was escorted back, also arrived in Haidu and was escorted to the prison.

"Just in time." Zhu Jun said in his heart, after washing, he rushed to Mu Tianbo, Yang Side and the two met, in the Cold Winter Pavilion, the two cabinet ministers presented the military intelligence of the north to the fold, which also had a letter of Li Dingguo's recital, frankly adsodicating the strategy of besieging the city and sending reinforcements, using Changsha as a bait to attract Qing troops from all over the country, and then using ambushes or taking advantage of their unstable foothold to break through, Zhu Jun looked at it for a while, and felt that there was not much problem with this strategy, and the Jiangnan Campaign generally showed that the army still had the upper hand, and the people of the day were on the side of the Ming army, The Manchu Qing only occupied the geographical advantage, and the siege of the city also played a factor in reversing the geographical advantage, once the Qing reinforcements from the provinces arrived on the outskirts of Changsha, the Ming army, which had already been prepared, was much easier to fight.

Zhu Jun exchanged a few words with Mu Tianbo and Yang Side, and then the topic finally turned to Li Xiong, Li Xiong can be regarded as a wonderful person for Zhu Jun, Zhu Jun has been struggling to find a typical traitor, Wu Sangui was originally the best representative, but unfortunately died in battle, this Li Xiong can arouse patriotic enthusiasm, well, do it, do it. Zhu Jun then issued an edict that three days later, a public trial meeting would be held in the square of Haidu City, and the people could come to watch at any time, and all the workshops could have a day off.

The so-called public trial, in fact, is equivalent to a grievance and debate conference, Zhu Jun wants people to know how to be a traitor without a father and a king, and how to be sorry for the ancestors, but also to let everyone see the fate of the traitor, but before the public trial, Zhu Jun wanted to see Li Xiong.

After the discussion, Zhu Jun changed into his regular clothes, asked people to find an inconspicuous carriage, and the guards around him also changed their clothes, left the palace, and went straight to the prison.

The so-called heavenly prison refers to the prison in the capital that is directly controlled by the imperial court. It is distinguished from a dungeon (a cell below the ground level) and refers to a cell above the ground level where felons are kept. The prison officer here saw that the emperor was coming in person, and hurriedly came out to entertain and guide Zhu Jun to the cell, because the prison in Haidu was newly built, with an area of several miles in radius, surrounded by a tall wall of bricks and cement, and the wall was full of sentry posts, which was very strict.

When I entered the cell, because the furnishings were new enough, there was no ** old atmosphere, but the jailers were holding the ring ruler, and I felt a little strict.

Because Li Xiong was a prisoner appointed by the emperor, he was arranged in a small black room in the innermost room, there was no sunlight around, only an oil lamp scattered a faint firelight, the jailer in front opened the cell door for Zhu Jun, and the seven or eight guards behind Zhu Jun went in first, and only after confirming that there was no danger did Zhu Jun step in, only to see a thin figure with scattered hair and shackles with his hands and feet hopelessly facing away from him, looking at the wall in a daze.
