Today, Qing Hui finally got a little clue.
But she hasn't even scratched the surface of the secret of her heart.
Qing Hua sighed muffledly.
Yin Mu Shang asked a little uneasily: "Auntie, is the food not to your liking?"
"No, I just thought of something. I have to go back to the palace first." Qing Hui stood up, picked up a handful of Jin Ling who was still busy eating, "Let's go."
Jin Ling glanced at her resentfully, then reached out to fish out a chicken leg before following her.
Yin Mu Shang blinked, why did he feel that they, the people from Eastern Qin, were a bit interesting?
Yin Mu Shang personally sent Qing Hui away from the Princess Xiangyang's mansion.
After getting on the carriage, Jin Ling threw away the chicken bones that he had finished eating, and licked his fingers with lingering interest, "Princess, I haven't had a full meal in several days, and you still pull me..."
"Go back and ask someone to kill ten chickens for you immediately. Is that enough?" Qing Hui leaned back on the cushion, put his long legs on the small table, and closed his eyes.
Jin Ling held out two fingers to her.
"Okay, okay," Qing Hui nodded, "Twenty is twenty, but you have to go somewhere and help me find out something."
Jin Ling tilted her head: "Where are you going?"
"Chongzhou."
"What? So far?" Jin Ling immediately shook her head: "No, the prince asked me to watch you. What if you get sick again when I'm not here? By then you will even forget who you are, which will be troublesome. "
Qing Hua: "..."
"I told you I'm fine. If it wasn't too troublesome for me to go out to Beijing now, I would go by myself. Besides you, I'm also afraid that others won't be able to handle things well." Qing Hui glared at her.
She also knew that it was not appropriate to let Jin Ling go. She had an all-round talent like Jin Ling by her side, and she would not worry about her leaking the secret.
Regardless of whether others can handle the matter, she is not at ease.
Hey, she used to be obsessed with medical skills, why didn't she learn anything about cultivating a capable assistant? Qing Hui was a little disappointed.
"Princess Princess, you can ask your Majesty for help. Your Majesty should not be interested in the things you want to investigate. In this case, you are not using such a huge resource and waiting for me to go and help you. Your efficiency It's too low." Jin Ling thought for a while and came up with an idea for her.
Qing Hui blinked, Jin Ling's words made perfect sense.
The most useful person is obviously by her side.
And even someone like Xue Yin, who doesn't pay attention to everything, probably doesn't have much interest in what she wants to do. She is obviously young and in a high position, but she looks as if she has escaped into Buddhism.
If she doesn't make use of it, it will be a waste of resources.
"Okay, I will go find Lian Xueyin today. If he can help, you don't have to go." Qing Hui said.
"I believe you can do it!" Jin Ling clenched her fist to encourage her.
Qing Hui snorted, a little curious, "Why are you so afraid of my father? Has he dealt with you before?"
Jin Ling sighed with a sad face: "That is much scarier than cleaning up. He will starve me and show no mercy."
Qing Hui made a clear gesture, and sure enough, it was so simple to pinch the lifeblood of a foodie.
Back at the palace, Qing Hui first ordered the imperial kitchen to kill ten chickens for Jin Ling.
Jin Ling looked at her resentfully: "Didn't you agree on twenty?"
"Twenty is the price of doing things." Qing Hui replied coldly.
Jin Ling suddenly looked confused.
Qing Hua smiled and gave her a sign of ten.
Jin Ling turned around and left in a depressed tone.
Qing Hui lay down in front of the window sill where he likes to bask in the sun, and waved to the little eunuch who was sweeping the yard, "Do you know where your Majesty is now?"
The young eunuch shook his head hurriedly: "I dare not inquire about His Majesty's whereabouts."
"Go and ask someone to call Ji Zhangyin over, and tell him that I have something to do with him." Qing Hui said.
After a while, Ji Shen hurried over and asked, "What are your orders?"
"Where is your Majesty? What has your Majesty done today? What are you doing now?"
Qing Hua touched her chin, wondering if she should go to the imperial kitchen to pick up some soup and water to deliver to His Majesty.
So before Ji Shen could answer, she added another sentence,
"Do you know what His Majesty likes to eat?"
"His Majesty left the palace after paying court this morning." Ji Shen first reported Lian Xueyin's whereabouts to her, and then said with a smile, "His Majesty is not picky about food, but he doesn't like sweets very much."
Such an ordinary taste.
Qing Hui feels that Lian Xueyin is a bit mysterious.
She couldn't help but remember that when she was recuperating in Qiyue Temple, she was curious several times and secretly peeked at him outside the yard. All she could see was him in a daze.
Either sitting in the yard in a daze, or sitting on a tree in the yard in a daze.
In short, this person seems not to talk or laugh, and is not picky about food or medicine.
She saw that he was so bored every day, and one time she even played a prank by adding Coptis chinensis to his medicine. She smelled the bitter taste, but he didn't react at all.
Later, when she saw him like this, she felt very guilty and ugly, so she quietly went down the mountain and bought some candied fruits for him to eat, but he still ate them silently.
The reason why the two of them didn't have much interaction before was because during those few months of recuperation, even Xue Yin was like a wooden man, as if he was always in a daze.
Nothing like the tyrant she heard about.
She also asked her master, is this person really the tyrant Lian Xueyin? Why is it nothing like the legend?
Master said that humans are not grass and trees, so how can they be ruthless? Your Majesty is a human being, so he will naturally have worries, be in a bad mood, or have things that he cannot figure out.
At that time, she didn't understand that Lian Xueyin could have any troubles, and now that she had become that heartless plant, she didn't understand even more.
"Oh, by the way, I forgot a very important thing!" Qing Hui suddenly stood up and looked at Ji Shen nervously: "I forgot the king at the Princess Xiangyang Mansion!"
Later, she only focused on watching the excitement, and after the king ran away, she forgot to look for him.
I don’t know if he’s coming back!
Qing Hui suddenly became embarrassed, "I'm going to get it back now!"
Ji Shen advised with a bit of laughter and tears: "My dear, don't be anxious now. Destruction is always smart. I will send someone to say something and bring him back. He doesn't like to move around the capital much in recent years. He must be looking for a place in the eldest princess's mansion." Rest."
Qing Hui looked frustrated, it was over, the older one didn't think of how to show his kindness, and even lost the younger one.
Why.
Forget it, the sun is shining right now, which is a good time to practice, so let’s talk about it at night.
So he told Ji Shen: "Then go and send someone to bring the king back, and let me know when you get him back."
"Yes, my dear, don't worry."
Ji Shen still trusted Qing Hui when doing things. If she hadn't been afraid of exposing her secrets and went to Chongzhou to investigate the affairs of the Chen family and the Ji family, she would have left it to Ji Shen.
Eh? Ji Shen seems to be named Ji?
Qing Hui looked at Ji Shen, who was almost at the door, and hurriedly called out to him: "Ji Zhangyin, where are you from?"
Ji Zhangyin turned around and replied respectfully: "When I was a teenager, I was framed on the way to take the exam. I lost my memory, I also lost things to prove my identity, and I couldn't even remember my name. I only carried Ji's embroidery on the purse I carried with me. I took this as my surname. Later I became a slave in the palace, and I don’t know where my hometown is. But the place I woke up is not far from Chongzhou, so it must be Chongzhou or Songzhou next door.”
"Then you don't remember any other brothers and sisters in your family, right?"
Qing Hu observed Ji Shen's eyebrows and eyes. This high-ranking Ji Zhangyin had a refined appearance and gentle temperament. From the outside, he looked more like a noble son of a noble family.
There is no similarity between him and Ji Congshan.
Of course, it may also be because Ji Congshan is somewhat disfigured, so it is indeed difficult to see his true face.
Ji Shen replied as expected: "I have no impression."
Qing Hui waved his hand a little regretfully: "Go and pick up the king quickly, I will just ask you casually."
"Yes, I will resign."
After Ji Shen brought Mi Mu back, he came over to talk to her, but Mi Mu did not follow her. Qing Hui suddenly felt blessed, and sure enough, his beloved tiger also became angry.
Qing Hui was not in the mood to continue practicing and went to the imperial dining room in person. Thinking of Jin Ling's foodie hobby, she asked the imperial dining room to make ten more chickens for her, with various flavors. After they were cooked, she asked someone to take them with her. The Garden of Strange Beasts.
Unexpectedly, the gatekeeper told her that she would die today and would not come to the garden.
Could it be that he went to complain to the owner?
Qing Hui went to Lian Xueyin's palace again and learned that Lian Xueyin had come back. She rubbed her little hands, took a deep breath, thought about it, stretched out her arm and pulled two leaves, hesitated, and felt the pain again. He added another leaf and carried three leaves into Lian Xueyin's bedroom.
Lian Xueyin's dormitory, like his people, was as quiet as an ice cave.
Qing Hui walked in with his hands and feet, and saw that the maids and eunuchs in the palace were all like wooden posts, as if they didn't dare to breathe.
She asked softly, "Where is Your Majesty?"
"Go back to your Majesty, Your Majesty is taking a bath."
"I'm taking a bath, where are I?" Qing Hui looked around.
The palace maid carefully pointed her in the direction and kindly reminded her: "Your Majesty doesn't like to be disturbed. Why don't you wait for your Majesty to come out?"
"No, I want to give him a surprise!"
Aoi walked quietly to the door of the bathhouse with leaves in her arms. Their agreement was to give one leaf a day, so today they will give two. Is it a surprise? The remaining piece is for the king to apologize to.
Perfect.
Qing Hui opened the door and rushed to the bath.
"Your Majesty, look at the surprise I have brought for you!"
In the middle of the huge bathing pool, a head emerged.
Lian Xueyin's indifferent face, which had remained unchanged for thousands of years, showed a suspicious blush, and he looked at the sudden appearance of Qing Hua in a slightly confused manner.
Qing Hui was also stunned.
Indeed she had never seen an emperor bathing.
How could she have imagined that an emperor's bath would be like this.
Such a big pool.
A beautiful face obscured by mist appeared in the center of the pool.
The water drops on his face slowly slid down and rolled down the raised Adam's apple. When Qing Hui saw the pearl-like Adam's apple, it seemed that it rolled and a drop of water fell.
Qing Huai followed and swallowed.
Four words came to mind:
Beautiful and sultry.
