Chapter 317: Deadly Meal
() Zhu Di thought about it and felt that there was no need to beat around the bush for such a thing, so he said straightforwardly,
"Second brother, do you remember what the younger brother said to you when he first arrived?"
"Is it that there is an assassination organization, and there is an operation against my second brother?"
Zhu Fan asked.
Zhu Di nodded again and again,
"yes, yes, that's it. In the past few days, the younger brother's men have found out that they want to do it against the second brother, and they want to send assassins to assassinate you, and they will also instigate a rebellion in your jurisdiction. โ
"Rebellion?"
Now Zhu Fan really paid attention to it,
"That's a great thing!"
"yes, but we can continue to investigate the rebellion,"
Zhu Di brought the focus of the topic back to his eyes,
"It's just the assassination against you that matters right now."
"It's nothing,"
Zhu Fan smiled and comforted his fourth brother,
"Think if I am a big Qin Wangfu, with so many soldiers and guards, are you still afraid of one or two assassins in him?"
"What the second brother said is, but as the saying goes, 'open guns are easy to dodge, and hidden arrows are the most difficult to prevent', for those who specialize in assassination, it is like some thorns, we will pay attention to avoid knives, but those things that are not noticed at all will make us unable to guard against them."
Seeing that the second brother didn't care about the assassination, Zhu Di knew that he had never seen a real assassin, so he didn't take it seriously, so he tried his best to persuade him.
And Zhu Fan saw that the fourth brother was so worried about himself, so he nodded and said,
"Okay, second brother listen to you, I will move out of the inner courtyard and live with you during this time, what do you think?"
"Of course you can, little brother is hoping for it."
Although for a moment, he thought that there were still three big living people hidden in his courtyard, but when he thought that with the skills of the three brothers, there would be a way to deal with it no matter what, so Zhu Di happily agreed.
The two brothers got up and came down from the pavilion, Zhu Di turned his head and saw Chai Jingnan's gaze firmly fixed on a person, so he couldn't help but follow his gaze. Seeing that person, he knew at a glance that he was an internal servant, and he was standing aside respectfully.
At this time, Zhu Fan also saw him and asked a little strangely,
"How did you get here?"
"Back to Your Highness, the minion just wants to ask, do you want the minion to make your meal and send it to you?"
The man asked cautiously.
Zhu Fan thought about it, looked at Zhu Di again, and then nodded and said,
"It's okay, just tonight, you will make the dinner, and then send it to His Royal Highness King Yan's residence, the two of us brothers will eat together, and you won't need to eat at other times."
"The slave knows."
The man seemed to answer honestly, but because he saw Chai Jingnan paying attention to him, Zhu Di instinctively kept his eyes on him, and at this moment, it seemed that a trace of ecstasy flashed in the man's eyes.
It wasn't normal joy, but a kind of smug surprise like an unexpected harvestโ
Although it was only a fleeting look, it could not escape Zhu Di's eyes, and he couldn't help but be a little suspicious in his heart.
At this time, Zhu Fan had already instructed the chamberlain to go to the princess to understand, and he took his fourth brother and walked slowly towards the courtyard where Zhu Di lived.
And Zhu Di was still a little curious about the person just now, so he asked,
"Second brother, what did the chamberlain who spoke to you just now do? You can't be a cook, right? โ
"You guessed it right,"
Zhu Fan said with a smile,
"He's really a cook, it's just that he just cooks for me and the princess, and doesn't care about anything else."
"Oh? It's strange,"
Zhu Di listened a little fresh and asked,
"As a cook, he is in charge of things that sound very idle."
"There's a reason for that, because he's a bit special."
Zhu Fan explained,
"That person was originally a member of the princess's family, and he only came to my house a few years ago, because he had no other skills, and he happened to be able to cook Mongolian food. And your second sister-in-law is a Mongolian, and she hasn't eaten her own food for a long time, so I will simply leave him behind and cook food for the princess, and he usually does some proper housework, and he is still a very capable and honest person. โ
"That's right,"
Zhu Di suddenly smiled and said,
"So, the second brother is going to invite the younger brother to enjoy the Mongolian flavor tonight?"
"yes, that's what I thought."
Zhu Fan also laughed.
Zhu Di continued to walk forward with his second brother, and glanced at Chai Jingnan when he was unprepared, and Chai Jingnan nodded knowingly......
The day passed quickly.
Since they lived in this courtyard with two highnesses at once, they had a few more defenses. For this reason, Zhu Di was still a little worried that it would cause inconvenience to the three brothers in Huashan, but after this day, he didn't find out where they were hiding, so it was like this until it got dark.
Sure enough, when it was time for dinner, the cook brought them a finished Mongolian meal with a food box. Although most of them are southerners, it is difficult for anyone to resist the feeling of wanting to eat with such a delicious food in front of them.
The two brothers sat down together and ate their meals, but the man did not leave, but waited by his side, until at last it was a dish of mutton soup, and the cook brought two bowls of steaming soup to them.
At this time, it was the end of the meal, and it was also the time when the mood was the most relaxed, but I saw Chai Jingnan walking in from outside,
"It's such a fragrant soup, why doesn't the fourth uncle call Shangjing'er when he eats such a good thing?"
Although this kid has always behaved very casually in front of Zhu Di, he can still notice the proportions that should be spoken, so after hearing this sentence, Zhu Di suddenly became alert and instinctively turned his head to look at him.
Chai Jingnan quickly gave him a look, came to the table, and said innocently,
"Fourth uncle, can you let Jing'er drink this mutton soup first?"
"Ah, this little boy!"
The cook, who had always seemed to be honest and silent, suddenly spoke,
"If you like it, I'll make you another bowl, but if you drink the soup for the two highnesses, isn't it a little rude."
"Where can it be rude?"
Chai Jingnan stared at each other with his big bright eyes,
"I just want to drink this bowl of my fourth uncle, and the fourth uncle is kind to Jing'er, no matter what there is, he will share it with me, isn't it, fourth uncle?"
"That's right, Jing'er can drink it if she wants."
Zhu Di also nodded cooperatively, making Zhu Fan look at the two of them with a confused expression, and the process of drinking soup naturally stopped.
Chai Jingnan happily took a small bowl, put some of the soup in front of Zhu Di, and looked back at the cook who looked very nervous.
"Oh, by the way, seeing that you've been busy for most of the day, it's really hard enough, why don't you drink this bowl of soup first."
