On the second day of the Lunar New Year, the sky was overcast and gloomy, the clouds were thick, and the north wind was blowing straight away, penetrating the bone marrow, and it was very cold.

Jintong pinched his fingers in the burning earth dragon and the warm smoke wave Hao Miao Xuan, it is not appropriate to go out today, it is appropriate to stay at home, and it is appropriate to brush hot pot. He immediately ordered the kitchen, and took turns serving hot pot for lunch and dinner. Lunch was the mushroom soup base boiled by the old hen, and Zheng Qiyan only watched from the sidelines.

Hot pot is called "boiling ding" in the Great Yi Dynasty, but it is rare to see such a thing as Jintong with so many ingredients and side dishes.

Chef Liu first served a steaming, strange-looking, bottom-supporting pot like a bucket hat, Qiao Lu added a plate of meatballs to cook first, and then a few maids served dozens of dishes of ingredients, and then served dozens of dishes of meat and vegetables one after another.

Jintong evenly mixed garlic, chopped green onions, dogwood (Jintong in this dynasty has not found this thing yet, and the spicy taste can only be replaced by dogwood peppercorns) and soy sauce, etc., evenly mixed into a stack of sauces, picked up a piece of beef cut as thin as paper, brushed it into the soup pot a few times, and then took it out and dipped it in the sauce and ate it.

Zheng Qiyan walked around and looked to the right, but there was no one to serve him for dinner!

He was informal, and he didn't pay much attention to eating and living with his soldiers. But back to the Hou Mansion, according to his official taste, there will be sixty-eight dishes in one meal! He recalled that when the Lan family was in charge, the meals were all dozens of dishes flowing up and down, with two maids waiting by the side, and sometimes the husband and wife were alone, and the Lan family personally prepared the dishes for him.

Jintong happily tasted the delicious beef, how difficult it is to eat fresh beef this year! As the main force of production, cattle are not allowed to eat until they die of illness or old age or are seriously disabled and lose their labor. That is, a few powerful families in Beijing can eat healthy beef.

Jintong glanced at Zheng Qiyan, who was looking at him, and said in his heart, why doesn't this guy eat? Could it be that such a big man who is nine feet tall is spicy and hypocritical, and she wants to serve him with her own hands and feed him?

Jintong couldn't help but speak: "The hot pot has to be eaten by yourself to be exciting, you can eat it yourself?" ”

Zheng Qiyan glanced at Jintong aggrievedly: Shouldn't Jintong personally serve him for dinner? Why do you have to do it yourself? It's the other way around! He was in his heart!

Jintong ate with a mouth full of oil, and the birds didn't bird him. Zheng Qiyan could only aggrieved and did it himself, learned from Jintong's appearance, adjusted a plate of sauce according to his own taste, and then rushed to eat it with Jintong very quickly.

After being full of wine and food, Wu An pinched the time to invite Zheng Qiyan to the torture room, saying that he would explain to everyone how to use soldiers, and Jintong took the brocade flatbread and snowflake velvet to walk and eat.

Jintong's years are quiet, and countless hardships have been achieved by carrying the weight for her.

The boiling poisoning incident of Concubine Chen in the palace finally found out the "truth": it was done by Concubine Xie Shun.

The reason is very simple, Xie Shun Concubine because of Concubine Chen's design to let her eldest daughter marry the Northern Liang Imperial Court and relatives, holding a grudge against Concubine Chen, planning for many years, carefully arranging, and finally seized the perfect opportunity of this year's Chinese New Year's Eve banquet, and almost killed Concubine Chen as soon as she made a move.

After the evidence collected by Zhao Baoshan and Tian Dayong: all kinds of signs point to the fact that Xie Shunfei's most trusted palace maid Huaihua was involved in this matter, but unfortunately Huaihua couldn't survive the punishment and died, which became a situation without evidence.

However, Xie Shunconcubine is still alive, and the result is very simple, after Zhao Baoshan and Tian Dayong asked the Holy Lord, they sealed the Qimei Palace where Xie Shunfei lived, and asked all the palace maids and eunuchs in the entire Qimei Palace in turn.

A rough eunuch stammered and confessed: Xie Shun's personal palace maid Caixia died a strange death. He and Caixia are fellow villagers, Caixia is kind-hearted, and he is very good to the big and small palace maids and eunuchs of Qimei Palace on weekdays, and he also takes care of his fellow countryman. When Caixia was sick and needed to be temporarily sent to Tingye Pavilion to recuperate, he secretly went to see Caixia a few times. When Caixia finally died of illness, he happened to be next to him, Caixia was bleeding from her seven orifices, and the blood color was dark red and black, obviously poisoned.

After Zhao Baoshan and Tian Dayong discussed, they only felt that this matter seemed to point to Xie Shun Concubine everywhere, but there was no conclusive evidence, and when they were at a loss and didn't know what to do, Mama Lu, who was in charge of the deployment of palace maids, came to report an abnormal thing.

Xie Shunfei's little palace maid, at the beginning of October last year, secretly took twenty taels of silver and took a few more delicate jewelry, bribed Mama Zhang, who was in charge of the palace maid's scheduling, and begged Mama Zhang to transfer her out of Qimei Palace, even if she was assigned to the Huanyi Bureau.

It is cold in early October, and it is more difficult to wash clothes and bedding in autumn and winter, but all palace slaves who have a little way to try to transfer out of the Huanyi Bureau. This palace maid named Chun'er actually wanted to get into the Huanyi Bureau, and there must be a demon when things go wrong.

Although Chun'er is just a concubine of a medical family, she has a good technique of massage. Xie Shunfei fell into trouble during childbirth, and often felt dizzy and low back pain, and Chun'er's massage techniques alleviated the pain for her, so Xie Shunfei was quite satisfied with Chun'er.

Mama Zhang questioned in her heart, so she asked a few more words, but unexpectedly, Chun'er only knelt in front of Mama Zhang, blindly begging but not saying the reason.

Mama Zhang has seen too many vicious things in the palace, and guessed that Chun'er Bacheng had broken something unspeakable, and wanted to save her life, so she made this decision.

Take people's money and eliminate disasters for others. In addition, the new Zhou Meiren at that time accidentally injured her leg and was not good at walking.

Mama Zhang used this as an excuse to arrange Chun'er to Zhou Meiren's side under the pretext that Zhou Meiren needed a palace maid who knew some medical skills to take care of her, so as not to fall into any disease.

Zhou Meiren is young and beautiful, and the year before last, she gave birth to a lovely princess of Yuxue for the Holy Lord, and the mother and daughter are very favored. Although Xie Shunfei's position is higher than that of Zhou Meiren, she is weak and relaxed, and her background is not as good as Zhou Meiren, so she didn't dare to say anything, so she had to agree.

Tian Dayong and Zhao Baoshan immediately interrogated Chun'er, and when Chun'er saw that the matter had come to this point, he told the truth without reservation.

Since she arrived at Xie Shunfei's Qimei Palace, with her exquisite massage techniques, Xie Shunfei has been quite good to her, and she usually has many rewards.

In the cool autumn season, Xie Shunfei's back pain frequented, Chun'er was by her side day and night, and overheard Xie Shunfei and her personal palace maid Caixia Huaihua, discussing what kind of poison to use in order to make Liu Jingxian more painful!

Chun'er doesn't know who Liu Jingxian is? actually made the cautious Xie Shunfei hate her so much, and wanted her to die in pain.

Later, she quietly asked the older grandmother, and only then did she know that Liu Jingxian was the most favored concubine Chen Guifei by the Holy Lord today.

In order to satisfy his curiosity, Chun'er secretly went to look at Xie Shunfei's poison. There are more than a dozen kinds of poisons such as dove poison, crane top red, acacia broken intestine red, and bone grass. Chun'er was so frightened that her soul flew away, so she begged Mama Zhang to transfer her to another place on an errand, in fact, she was afraid that Xie Shun would kill her.

Tian Dayong sent someone to search the entire Xie Shunconcubine's bedroom, and sure enough, as Chun'er said, Xie Shunconcubine's bed, the foot of the left bed was hollow, and there were more than a dozen poisons hidden in it, and the evidence was ironclad.

Tian Dayong could only ask Zhao Baoshan to send troops to continue to defend Qimei Palace, and report to the palace himself.

That night, Xie Shunfei "committed suicide by throwing herself into the ring", until she was hastily buried, her eyes were still wide open, and she did not blink to death.

Knowing that the Holy Lord of Xie Shun's self-judgment was a little lost and leaning on the couch, his expression was sluggish, and he deeply blamed himself, he was underestimating his own sons too much!

Concubine Chen made up and exported this poisoning scene by herself, stupidly thinking that she had done it seamlessly, but the Holy Lord had already known about it.

The Holy Lord followed Concubine Chen's wishes and cooperated with her quite well, but some of Concubine Chen's original arrangements, such as a few backhands to frame Li Wei and Li Rong, were all resolved.

Unexpectedly, Feng turned around, and all the evidence pointed to Xie Shunfei. The Holy Lord has always thought that the personnel of Qimei Palace are not complicated, and they are basically old people who have served Xie Shunconcubine for many years, and they can't make a big mistake, who knows which rebel it is, and he actually arranged a few more backhands to kill Xie Shunconcubine's direct incriminating evidence, and by the way, Li Rong can be said to be doomed.

And as the king of a country, he can't even detect the slightest clue, and he is really incompetent. It is conceivable how much failure he, the emperor, has done, and now, he can't even control the inner palace.

The Holy Lord sighed deeply, silently watching the candle flame flickering and burning, his heart had a thousand knots, but there was no one to untie them.
