Concubine Zhen did not seek refuge with the queen.
Jiang Xinyue watched him act quietly, with a sneer hidden in her eyes.
Ah!
Are you going to play this game with her?
Let’s see who is better at acting!
"elder brother?"
Jin Zhaoyi, who stood at the entrance of Hexi Palace and watched the whole process, spoke up, followed closely by Ye Guiren, and the two stepped into the front courtyard.
Jin Zhaoyi rushed in and grabbed the elder brother of the Jin family by his sleeve: "Brother, what's going on? Why are you tied up?"
Just asking knowingly.
Jiang Xinyue smiled: "Jin Zhaoyi, don't worry, it's just a misunderstanding. Your Majesty, please let them go! Otherwise, Jin Zhaoyi will think that she is a concubine and have trouble with her."
After the joke was told, the tense atmosphere instantly relaxed. The emperor ordered people to untie Zhu Erlang and the eldest son of the Jin family and send them back to the guards.
Jin Zhaoyi felt that she couldn't understand Zhenbi.
She belongs to Concubine Li. In the past... no... I should say that even now, she has been making Concubine Zhen unhappy.
She used to be with Zhang Wanyi, but later Zhang Wanyi was demoted and lost her favor, and she and Ye Guiren colluded again, just to bring down the concubine Zhen.
But with such a good opportunity today, as long as she testifies that her brother is the murderer, not only her, but the entire Jin family will be ruined.
Zhenbi...why didn't she identify her brother?
Is it really because she is kind that she is unwilling to wrongly accuse innocent people?
Ye Guiren didn't care about the grudges between them. When he saw the emperor, his eyes were already shining brightly. He ran straight over and almost bumped into Jiang Xinyue. Fortunately, Wang Dequan stopped in front of Jiang Xinyue and gently pushed Ye Guiren. A handful.
Emperor Xuanwu took a few steps back in horror, and immediately a guard blocked his sword in front of Ye Guiren, preventing her from getting closer.
"emperor!"
Ye Guiren was so anxious that he had no choice but to push the guards in front of him and give them a fierce look.
The emperor walked around Ye Guiren and hugged Jiang Xinyue: "Zhu Qianyi, Jin Wuyong, you have suffered a terrible disaster this time, so I will appoint you as my imperial guards with swords, and you will enter the palace tomorrow to take office."
"I... thank you Lord for your kindness."
"Your Majesty, concubines..."
"Wang Dequan!"
Emperor Xuanwu's head hurt as soon as he heard Ye Guiren's bluffing voice, and he quickly said: "I want to have lunch with Concubine Zhen, and the rest of the crowd will invite them out."
After saying that, regardless of Ye Guiren's ugly face, he carried Jiang Xinyue into the palace.
It took some time to pass the lunch. Jiang Xinyue specially asked Magpie to follow him so that he could bring Gao Yuchu over and show his face in front of the emperor. Whether he could seize this opportunity depends on his own ability.
May is not yet midsummer, but ice cubes are already provided in the imperial kitchen. Many precious ingredients need to be preserved with ice cubes.
"This is the fresh steamed seabass that the Empress will eat tomorrow. Naturally, these ice cubes are given to us. If the Empress Zhen wants to eat fresh anchovies, she'd better wait until the day after tomorrow!"
"Li Guitian, don't go too far. I applied for this ice cube from the manager the day before yesterday and it was allocated to me. The Queen wants to eat fresh steamed sea bass, so you should apply for ice in advance. You forgot. What’s the point of applying and then coming to steal my money?”
"What do you mean?"
Li Yuchu laughed sarcastically: "What do you mean, if the Empress wants to eat something, she still has to queue behind Concubine Zhen? Do you dare to say this to me in front of the Empress?"
"you!"
Gao Yuchu pointed at him: "Don't judge him here. We are talking about applying for ice in advance. We are not talking about the person but the matter. Please be reasonable."
"In the harem, it is the right thing to put the Empress first. Why is Gao Yuchu and Concubine Zhen worried about the Queen's position, so she refuses to give in?"
The hat was off, but it was a huge crime. How could Gao Yuchu answer the question? He could only gasp in anger and refused to move away from the box containing ice cubes.
Li Yuchu had already gathered less than half of the people in the imperial dining room. With a signal from him, a group of people rushed forward to grab the ice cubes.
"You! Let go..."
"Bang!"
"Ouch!"
Wang Dequan had heard clearly outside the door and was about to go in to ask them to stop fighting and to serve the Emperor and Concubine Zhen for lunch. Who knew that as soon as he stepped in, he was hit hard by a flying box? On the eye socket.
After a cry, Wang Dequan fell to the ground, feeling dizzy.
The guy in his crotch was fine, but he still felt cold under his crotch. He looked down and saw that a box of ice cubes had been scattered between his legs.
"Prince!"
Everyone in the imperial dining room was dumbfounded. The imperial chefs who caused the incident all knelt on the ground, their bodies like sieves of chaff.
Magpie shouted: "You Li Guitian, you dare to plot against the prince. What crime should you do?"
Li Guitian's face was as white as gold paper, and he knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "My lord... Your Majesty, please forgive me. It's not my fault... No! It's not me... it's him... it's him who refused to put the ice on the ice." It's all his fault that I'm like this."
He pointed his finger at Gao Yuchu and backed away in fear.
Wang Dequan took the handkerchief from Magpie and pressed it on his bleeding forehead. He didn't hear a word else when he heard Magpie whisper in his ear that Li Guitian was plotting against him.
But now is not the time to care about this. He stretched out his hand and pointed at Gao Yuchu: "You, come with us to Hexi Palace to serve the Emperor and Concubine Zhen for dinner. Hurry up."
When the emperor ate, in addition to the eunuchs who tested poisons, there was also a chef who passed down the dishes. Every time a dish was served, as long as the emperor had served it more than twice, the chef who passed on the dishes had to give the name of the dish and how to make it. As well as the benefits and effects on the human body after eating it.
Therefore, Jiang Xinyue called the magpie.
Gao Yuchu immediately put on the imperial chef's clothes, pushed his food cart, and ordered three more imperial chefs who had just helped him as assistants, and followed the prince and magpie while pushing the stove.
The big gash on Wang De's head made his flesh ache when he looked at it.
The magpie took out the gold wound medicine from his sleeve again: "Eunuch, if you go in like this, I'm afraid you will scare the emperor and concubine Zhen. This is the hemostatic gold medicine that the slaves always carry with them. Why don't you use some of it first?"
Her handkerchief was white and stained with blood, which looked shocking.
Wang Dequan had no choice but to tell his godson Tang Shiliang at the entrance of the main hall of Hexi Palace to take the royal chefs in to serve him first, so as not to delay the emperor's meal time.
Magpie took Wang Dequan to the side hall, and invited Xiao Xuanzi to help him briefly treat the wound on his forehead.
Some common hemostatic medicines are available in Hexi Palace. Xiao Xuanzi took them out from the storehouse and bandaged them: "My lord, please don't touch this wound with water. It will cause inflammation. Please do it then." Suffered."
Wang Dequan took a breath of cold air and waved his hand: "We know it, stop working on our family, and hurry up to serve the concubine Zhen."
