052 Defection for a bite
Guard Chen's cold sweat broke out all at once, and he was a little worried that he was showing his feet somewhere.
"The princess smiled." He wiped his sweat and snorted.
Pei Qing said lightly: "I know it's a joke, don't keep talking about the late prince, you and Li Yi are one or two...... It seems that they all take the prince too seriously. β
Chen Guard's heart was bitter, but Chen Guard's heart was bitter.
"Subordinates obey." He arched his hand with a bitter face, and could only send someone to guard the female assassin's vicinity, and he really didn't dare to disobey the order.
In the small garden, as the sun gradually rose, Sun Miao also felt hotter and hotter.
Now her throat was not just like it was on fire, it was more like it was being slashed by countless small knives.
"Princess Rui, you are making intrigues, you are not a good man......" she shouted weakly, feeling like she was crying blood.
Just as she was dizzy from the sun and felt like a fish that was about to be dried, a man in a guard's costume stood around her with two men.
Guard Chen shouted to Sun Miaomiao: "Don't shout, the princess has spared your dog's life for the time being, and you still don't know how to be satisfied?" β
Sun Miao glanced at him weakly and snorted.
Chen Guard said coldly: "Just now I wanted to ask the princess to get rid of you directly, but the princess found that you were still a little useful, so you could have the life to say these two more words - what's the matter, in fact, you prefer to lose your head immediately, right?"
Sun Miaomiao was choked by him and rolled her eyes.
Now she was tied to a plank, her limbs and body were tightly strangled, her arms and legs had begun to swell and ache, and her mouth was dry, and she really had no strength to speak with her tongue.
At this time, Lao Chen found that Miss Axing, the personal maid next to the princess, hurriedly walked over, still holding a bowl of things in her hand.
As soon as Ah Xing came over and saw Lao Chen, she immediately happily aroused people: "Brother Chen, it just so happens that you are here, I will break her mouth, you help me pour this bowl of things into her, our mother is afraid that this female assassin will be thirsty and out of shape, so she specially made a bowl of water with sugar and salt, saying that it can replenish her strength." β
After hearing this, Chen Shouwei couldn't cry or laugh: "Okay, okay, I understand." β
He understands that people drink sugar water to replenish their physical strength, why do you need to add salt to it? So how can this bowl of water taste so good?
Niangniang is actually indirectly punishing this female assassin, right?
Thinking of this, Lao Chen's heart calmed down a little, and he felt that he had figured out the true thoughts of his mother.
Sun Miaomiao heard the conversation between the two and immediately shouted: "I don't want to drink the things in your bowl, I'd rather die of thirstβ"
Before she could finish speaking, her chin was pinched, and a whole bowl of sugar and salt water was poured down.
"It's okay, it's okay, Niangniang said that it's okay if you would rather die than give in," Ah Xing looked at Sun Miaomiao who wanted to vomit out comfortingly, "With sugar and salt water to support your life, you can still live for 7 more days without eating." β
In other words, if she doesn't bow her head, she will have to hang on this board for 7 days before she can be freed - return to the West.
Sun Miaomiao's mouth was still flooded with the taste of sugar and salt water, very sweet and very salty, but there was a trace of weird sweetness in her very salty throat, which made people can't help but feel sick.
Her salt-replenished eyes instantly turned teary-eyed.
"You guys, you're so ruthless!" Sun Miao couldn't move his head, his hands couldn't lift, and his feet couldn't stretch, but these physical pains were far less than the mental pain.
She sobbed quietly for a moment, and finally gave up on herself: "I said, I will say everything, you let your princess come and ask." β
She will never drink the second bowl of sugar and salt water again!!

"Princess, the female assassin has confessed.
She said that she was from the Three Princes' Mansion in the capital, and she was a guest in the Three Princes' Mansion, nicknamed the Poison Hand Medicine Niang in the rivers and lakes, and was ordered to come to get rid of the Niangniang.
She said that she was not as good as others and was willing to bow to the wind, and begged her mother to give her a good time. After the Chen guard finished the report, he stood respectfully beside him, waiting for the princess to show him.
After listening to this, Pei Qing kept thinking thoughtfully: "Her nickname is a bit interesting, poisonous hand medicine lady...... Does that mean she's ruthless but very good at using drugs? β
Chen Weiwei replied cautiously: "Yes." β
Pei Qing nodded.
She sprinkled quicklime as poison on Tao's hand, causing Tao to suffer more light burns on her hand. It looks like she's supposed to be ...... to a lot of chemicals Well, she is proficient in poisons," Pei Qing made up her mind after a little thought, "If she is also very good at using drugs, and can even treat people, she must be allowed to stay." β
Guard Chen was startled when he heard this, and hurriedly shouted: "Think twice about the princess! This assassin has a vicious mind, and he can't stay here, and if he stays by your side, I'm afraid it will cause a lot of trouble. β
Pei Qing waved his hand perfunctorily: "I know, I know, but there is no way, there is only one Lang in the county, and he can only use acupuncture and moxibustion and not medicine, we have to learn to reduce talents without sticking to one pattern." β
Guard Chen: Men and women are silent, this guard can't be a guard.
Sun Miaomiao didn't know at this time that she had been designated as a pharmacist in Xixian County, she felt deeply ashamed after being leveled by a bowl of sugar and salt water, and she kept crying after Ah Xing untied her, crying and scolding.
"My master taught me to learn medicine as hard as you!" After Sun Miaomiao reported his origins in 1510, he said, "Who in the rivers and lakes doesn't respect the people of our Medicine King Valley?" Who is not afraid of me, the personal disciple of the King of Poison Hand Medicine? Fill me with the spice of the pickled fish! β
Ah Xing grinned while listening to her complaints, and comforted from time to time: "You didn't suffer a loss, didn't the new food called skewers that Niangniang just created feed all to your mouth?" Isn't it particularly delicious? β
She didn't mention this, Sun Miaomiao didn't cry badly, as soon as she talked about the skewers, Sun Miaomiao's crying snot bubbles came out.
"What kind of princess are you! With the resting fennel yin people worth 10,000 gold, who in the world can endure that fragrance? What Sun Miaomiao was most annoyed by was that she had already suffered such a big sin because she had planted such a big heel in one bite, but she still wanted to eat!
Ah Xing was taken aback, and hated and regretted as much as her: "What? That spice is actually worth 10,000 gold? I thought it was the same as angelica, ten taels of silver a catty! I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't catch a bite! β
She shouted over there and grabbed the ground, but Sun Miao was strangely quiet.
What is Princess Rui's personal maid, her knowledge is far inferior to her, and the rest of the fennel has just been introduced to the Central Plains from the Western Regions, and things are scarce and expensive, so what's so strange about being a little more expensive?
The maid's mouth was clearly inferior to hers.
"You are a personal maid, can the master give you such an expensive thing?" Sun Miaomiao laughed at Ah Xing, "Bragging is not like that." β
Ah Xing said indignantly: "I didn't brag, as long as I followed the princess Niangniang to have novel food every day!" Not to mention the yellow braised chicken bone soup and noodles you saw when you came, even the few dim sum that just came out of the dim sum shop, all of which were made by the mother herself! It's the first time I've ever eaten it every time! β
Sun Miaomiao was suspicious, rubbing her hands and feet, and said viciously: "You'd better not lie to this seat, otherwise you will be given medicine and your face will be burned into a grimace!" β
Ah Xing was taken aback by her tone, and couldn't help but take three steps back, and said with difficulty: "Good guy, I thought you and I were the same people and liked to eat good things, but you were so vicious?" Today, the princess made a large shrimp wonton, you don't want to eat it! β
Sun Miaomiao originally planned to open the blood veins of her hands and feet, and after she was able to recover her mobility, she would flee immediately, and when she went out to regain her strength, she had to visit the Rui Wangfu for the second time and take the life of Princess Rui's dog.
But nowβ
"Shrimp ravioli?" She asked Ah Xing, who is also a foodie, suspiciously, "What is that?" β
Ah Xing entered the play in a second, and her face showed a deep intoxication, as if falling into the clouds: "It is a kind of small snack with a crystal clear skin like white jade, and at the same time very chewy, but the inside is wrapped in broth and fresh shrimp, and the meat is rich and umami-filled, which is a hundred times more delicious than bone broth noodles!" Fresh people can swallow their tongues! β
When Sun Miaomiao reacted, she found that her saliva was flowing down the corners of her mouth.
Damn it! Let Princess Rui's neck be stored on her neck first, and wait for her poisonous medicine mother to get tired of eating the fresh food of Rui Wangfu, and when will she take her life...... It's not too late.
Ah Xing didn't realize that she just made a subtle opinion about a certain delicacy and accidentally caused the enemy to turn against her.
"Take me to eat shrimp ravioli!" Sun Miaomiao finally regained her mobility, and the first thing she did was to jump up and intimidate Ah Xing, "Otherwise, your face will be burned!" β
Ah Xing had already heard that Ah Tao had injured her hand because of the poison used by this guy, and the injury was like a burn, and she was instructed by the princess to coax the assassin in front of her, so she immediately pointed her hand in a certain direction-
"Then you follow me, I'll take you to the small kitchen, the princess usually opens a small stove over there." Saying this, Ah Xing added vigilantly, "Don't poison me behind my back, otherwise Niangniang will definitely not give you fresh shrimp wontons." β
Now Sun Miaomiao doesn't think much of Princess Rui's kindness as a woman, and Princess Rui must have her special purpose no matter what she does.
Including but not limited to letting this foodie in front of her provoke her appetite.
But...... My stomach is really hungry, my mouth is really greedy, even if it's a Hongmen banquet, I have to go!
"Okay, okay, I'm not going to use the tricks behind my back, hurry up and lead the way." Sun Miao urged continuously, and couldn't wait to swallow a big mouthful of saliva.

On the first floor of the garden building, Pei Qing sat alone at a table, slowly enjoying the freshly made shrimp wontons.
The shrimp is a river shrimp that has just been fished out of the former county, fresh and sweet.
Stirred with the shrimp is a tender chicken breast mixed with ginger and a little chopped green onion, which is smooth and fragrant in the mouth.
The soup base is the Sanzhen soup that has been boiled for two hours - that is, the soup made by fresh shrimp, pork bones, and old hens, the soup is bright and yellow, only a little oily, and it is sweet and refreshing to drink.
"It seems that my craft has not been lost." Pei Qing put down the empty bowl with satisfaction, "Maybe you can write a book of food miscellaneous here?" β
Forget about food and miscellaneous conversations, the serious thing is to reply to Huang Gongzi first.
Not long ago, this wealthy merchant surnamed Huang sent 300 strong slaves, 3,000 catties of pig iron, 5,000 catties of salt, 10 carts of spices, 5 carts of fine wine, and 30,000 taels of silver.
Pei Qing finally had a subtle feeling of being friends with the local tyrants.
Forget about the 300 people, the most important thing is salt and iron, in the Dayan Dynasty of the salt and iron official camp, getting these two things not only requires money but also deep connections, and these thousands of gold "gifts" alone are worth tens of thousands of taels of silver.
In contrast, benzoin fennel is less appealing to those in power than pig iron and salt.
Pei Qing has already written a thick thank you letter, and now he plans to write a recipe for eating.
After all, you can't just let people send things one by one, but you don't say anything.
But who called her a princess of a poor county, she couldn't send anything expensive, so she could only send the recipes of these unique snacks belonging to the 21st century, and show a little heart.
"Three taels of fresh shrimp, three taels of chicken, one penny, green onion white, one penny ginger for the filling, refined wheat flour for the skin, accompanied by the soup base made of river shrimp and pork bones, old hens, eat a bowl while it is hot, and hope that you will be healthy and happy." After writing this recipe briefly, Pei Qing pushed open the window on the first floor.
In the next second, a snow-white pigeon jumped in from the window.
The pigeons were also sent in with this shipment, and it is said that Huang Gongzi named them to be delivered, saying that it was for the convenience of communicating with her.
In this ancient time with inconvenient transportation, the cultivation of carrier pigeons was almost equivalent to the dead soldiers cultivated by the family, and they were all valuable and important materials.
And the son of the Huang family specially sent a carrier pigeon over, which makes people can't help but think deeply.
What's wrong? Can't stand the communication for three days? Could it be that he was thinking about one communication a day?
Pei Qing, who has been baptized by modern boss novels, is not so easy to be routined.
"Anyway, I didn't tease you, I just returned the favor." Pei Qing tied a short note to the pigeon's leg while breaking his thoughts, and then released the pigeon, silently watching it turn into a small dot in the air until it was gone.
When she had done this, she heard a faint quarrel coming from the kitchen.
It was the voices of A-Xing and the female assassin.
"You've eaten three bowls, I've only eaten two bowls, and you have two wontons left for me!"
"Whoever eats it first, can you complain about me?"
"Why are you so annoying? How can your princess raise you with such a rice bucket, you know how to eat and eat! β
"It's a blessing to be able to eat, the princess raised me for the sake of what I can eat, and you have the ability to become the princess's personal maid?"
"You, don't deceive people too much! Let me down the last ravioliβ"
"What's the matter, you still want to poison this last Chaos? Ahh Look, it's done, it's gone. β
"Uh......h I, I'm going to poison you! β
