Chapter 22: Aftertaste

There is a deserted courtyard on the south side of the palace, and the broken ruins are hidden behind the solemn red wall of the main entrance of the palace. On the periphery of the entire courtyard is the impregnable walls of the imperial palace, and the guards do not stop for twelve hours.

Sanhe limped and was busy making a fire and cooking, but their food was running out, Sanhe was a little anxious, the master came back early yesterday, and as soon as he came back, he closed the door and didn't get up yet, is this injured again?

Sanhe was worried, although the hidden door could no longer be called a wooden door, and even from the broken hole, Nanmenyu could be vaguely seen lying on the bed, and Sanhe didn't smell blood, was this a good thing?

"Master, you can eat something." Sanhe looked at it three times, but Nanmenyu, who was lying on the bed, still didn't move, and couldn't help but speak.

The boy didn't answer, staring at the dilapidated wall on the inside of the bed in a daze, and didn't get up. The mottled and peeling mud slowly deformed into a vague human shadow.

The young man was impulsive and wanted to vent something, but the next moment he suddenly pulled the quilt over his head and buried his head in the crook of his arm, clinging to the only remaining warmth.

Nanmen Yu restrained himself from thinking about it, but the picture kept appearing in his mind over and over again, making him not even want to move, so he wanted to lie down like this.

"Master—" Mikawa was unrelenting outside the door.

Nanmen Yu's head was buried in the crook of his arm, not wanting to listen, not wanting to answer. But I want to rush out and run with all my might, and it's good to be exhausted, so that I don't think about it.

Nanmen Yu sat up suddenly, Sanhe outside the door finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the young man quickly put on his clothes.

"Master, the porridge just boiled this morning, there are still some ......" Sanhe didn't finish speaking, Nanmenyu had already entered the kitchen, saying that it was a kitchen, in fact, it was a shed that leaked on all sides and only had a roof that could be covered, and the aroma of rice porridge came from the stove made of earth, Nanmenyu drank a bowl in one go, and drank another bowl, and when he looked at it again, there was only a layer at the bottom of the iron pot.

"Are you enough?" Nanmen Yu was a little remorseful, they didn't have much food, and he would be hungry if he ate too much Sanhe.

"Enough, enough—" Mikawa hurriedly said, taking his bowl and serving it, drinking it sizzlingly.

Mikawa was a father-in-law, and when he was eight or nine years old, a serious illness almost killed him, and when the palace saw that he couldn't live, he was thrown into a mass grave before he could breathe. It was Nan Menyu who carried him back, and since then he has become Nan Menyu's little follower, taking care of Nan Menyu.

"Master, I'll go with you to find something to eat." Mikawa was a little unbearable, although it seemed that his master was not injured, but some injuries may not be visible, they may be injured in the internal organs, otherwise he would not have slept for so long.

"No, you take care of your injuries, and one day we'll get out of here." Nanmenyu said seriously, well, he not only wants to go out, but also takes her out in a big way.

……

Concubine Wen smashed everything that could be smashed in the dormitory, and Kang Ning's father-in-law did not dare to come out, and blood continued to overflow from the forehead corner of his face that was hit by the vase, and he did not dare to wipe it.

"Niangniang is angry, Niangniang, it's all the minions to blame for this." Kang Ning's father-in-law crawled over on his knees and crawled at the feet of Concubine Wen.

"It's the slave who is too stupid, I didn't probe it beforehand, it's the slave who made the mother lose face, it's not a pity that the slave is dead now, you have to take care of your body, the slave will go...... Let's go ......."

"Come back—" Concubine Wen sighed, she was not a brutal person, and she didn't hold grudges after she got angry. Besides, Kang Ning wanted to take a look first, because she didn't want to delay time, and it was the spell of Changzhen's disciple, how could she not be convinced. They then examined the dry well and dug up some small bits and bones. This is yin, someone removed the body one step ahead of them.

This is the kind of yin that someone is waiting to set them up.

However, even so, this matter can't be caused to the Queen Mother again, missing the opportunity is missing it, which is what makes her the most angry.

"Corning, who do you think it is?" Concubine Wen asked Kang Ning, they had all seen the skills of the Qiandao Temple.

"Minions are stupid." Niangniang, we underestimated the one in the Qishun Building, I am afraid that there are other things involved, otherwise, why should the people in the Qishun Building be moved.

"Now you must not act rashly, go and check if anyone is staring at Bushou Palace recently."

"Niangniang, it's strange that the slave is too stupid, it makes you sad, the slave must do it well." Father-in-law Kangning said movingly.

Concubine Wen glanced at Kang Ning.

"Stand down, put the wound on the medicine and do it again."

"The minions will retire first."

"Kang Ning, what proton did you say the fourth prince saved from the South Gate Kingdom?" Concubine Wen suddenly remembered this, and Father-in-law Kang Ning immediately stopped his steps and stepped forward.

"The slave doesn't dare to deceive Niangniang, His Royal Highness and the proton of the South Gate Country have seen each other, and even almost fought, but in the end, they are of the same age, and they don't know each other. His Royal Highness likes to go to the Qishun Building today, so it is very likely that he will meet that day. "Father-in-law Kang Ning thought about it for a long time afterwards, and there was probably only this explanation, Father-in-law He Sheng personally said that the Fourth Highness knew Nanmenyu, where was there any other reason.

At the mention of Qishun Building, Concubine Wen's eyes darkened, how could she let such a slut take the Fourth Highness badly.

"What about the Fourth Highness?" Concubine Wen immediately asked again, and the fire in her heart rose again.

"Niangniang, please calm your anger, Your Royal Highness is the time to rebel at this age, and you can't come hard. Besides, the child's temperament, the picture is a freshness, and when the freshness is over, maybe we don't need to say that we won't go back. Kang Ning's father-in-law immediately said again, the mother was anxious, and she was too strict with the fourth highness.

Concubine Wen took two deep breaths and nodded, this matter was not in a hurry, and with a wave of her hand, Father-in-law Kang Ning retreated carefully.

……

Zheng Haoyuan carefully took his treasure with him, and only let his henchman and father-in-law Shunzi, who can handle it, sneak towards Qishun Tower.

"Fourth Highness, what is so mysterious?" Xingyu looked curiously at the large wooden box held by Junko's father-in-law, which was also covered with a black cloth so that people could not see inside.

Xingyu was about to take a peek at the cloth secretly, but was patted open by Zheng Haoyuan, and personally held it through the front of the dilapidated Qishun Building, and went around to the side door.

"Cousin, I've brought you something good." Zheng Haoyuan said mysteriously, and showed the big wooden box in his hand to Zheng Nianru like a treasure.

Zheng Nianru was not interested, in the years when she was the queen mother, she had seen so many strange things that she was numb, and there was nothing she had never seen, but Zheng Nianru still raised her eyelids to save face.

"What's good?" Spider? Wolf cubs? Tiger cubs? Or what big turtle?
