Chapter 28 Drug Names

Did he mean what she thought?It's not that there's even a hen beside him... bang!The sound of the noodle bowl being smashed hit the eardrums, and in a blink of an eye, when the assassin drew his knife, Shen Chuxia covered his ears with his hands and screamed, running away like a mouse.

Zhishi and other guards arrive in an instant and fight the assassin.

During the whole process, I don't know whether he knew there was an assassin or he was used to it, Ji Chong didn't even move.

Shen Chuxia hid beside Ji Chong, holding his thigh with both hands, "Your Highness, it's really not me, it's really not me..." Weeping.

Ji Chong lowered his eyes to see that she was trembling and flustered, she still had the usual arrogance and cleverness, just like a frightened little cat.

The corners of his mouth can't help but rise.

The assassin died in front of Shen Chuxia, and she fainted from fright.

When I awoke, there was a faint glow from a small copper oil lamp on the wall of the room.

"Mujin...Mujin..." She got out of bed to look for someone.

Someone opened the door and came in, "Little lady, you're awake!"

"Where is this?"

"It seems to be a nobleman's other house." She didn't know the details, and no one told her, a girl.

It turned out to be the Prince Regent's other courtyard, "Where are the others?"

"I don't know where the nobleman is."

That's right, Shen Chuxia sighed, "I didn't read the almanac when I went out today, I messed up things."

"Little lady, what happened?"

"Save my dad."

Mu Jin frowned, "Your Excellency, is he willing to help you?"

Thinking of the conversation between them and his expression before the assassin came, yes, he was not willing to help at all. Could it be that Shen Jinlin really colluded with the king?

I'm so tired.

"Mujin, do you have anything to eat?" By now, her stomach was so hungry.

Hibiscus shook her head, "But I know where the kitchen is?"

"Will it be bad?"

"I don't know either." Mu Jin said, "I didn't see girls and women in this other courtyard, they are all male guards, so it shouldn't matter."

"Is there anything to eat in the kitchen?"

Mu Jin nodded happily, "I'm hungry too, I've seen it secretly, and I have everything." She just didn't dare to move.

There was a light in the corridor, so it wasn't too dark. Mu Jin took Shen Chuxia to the kitchen. Apart from the guard on duty, he really didn't see the girl and woman along the way, and the guard on duty didn't stop the two of them.It is estimated that someone told them, otherwise it would be impossible not to stop.

As a girl, Hibiscus is very self-conscious. When she got the flour, she took the initiative to cook the noodles with the noodles. Kneading the noodles was okay, but cutting the noodles was very rough: "I'll come, you help me light the fire."

Mu Jin sat in the stove, chatting with the little lady while lighting the fire, "Young lady, you look thin, you are quite heavy."

"I'm taller than you, even if I don't have meat, my bones are heavier than you." Shen Chuxia was a little embarrassed, "Thank you!"

Mu Jin shook her head, "I can't hold it, but that nobleman did it later."

"Who?"

"It's the most expensive and coldest nobleman."

Cold face and hot heart?Shen Chuxia really didn't expect that when she saw the noodles on the table, she kneaded some noodles and helped Ji Chong cook them.

The simplest Yangchun noodles.

Shen Chuxia and Mu Jin carried the food boxes and walked along the corridor, looking for the one with the brightest lights, and it was indeed there.

Zhi Shi was stunned for a moment: "Miss Shen is awake?"

"I'm sorry, I made you laugh."

It's normal for the little lady to see a murder, Zhishi didn't make fun of it, "You are..." She looked at the food box in her hand.

"Supper cooked for His Highness." Shen Chuxia said, "You have them too."

When Zhishi heard that there was something for him to eat, she smiled brightly, and quickly took the food box, "I'll carry it to Your Highness."

"Thank you."

Shen Chuxia took Hibiscus back to the kitchen.

In the room, the big desk was full of various official documents and letters to be processed. Ji Chong squeezed his brows and asked Chang Shi's staff to sort out the unfinished ones and then deal with them tomorrow.

"Your Highness—" Zhishi handed the food box to Mu Tong.

Mu Tong asked: "Which restaurant sent it?"

"It wasn't from the restaurant." Zhishi replied with a smile, "It was made by Miss Shen."

Mu Tong hurriedly put it on the side table, opened the food box, took out the noodle bowl, and lifted the lid, a scent of clear soup filled the room, "I didn't expect Miss Shen's cooking skills to be pretty good." She was going to test the poison with a silver needle .

Ji Chong came over, "There's no need to try."

"Yes, Your Highness." He directly handed the chopsticks to the master.

Looking at the clear soup with little water, after working for a long time, I took a sip of the soup first, and it was unexpectedly delicious. Even a few finely chopped green onions didn't feel an eyesore, and I took a bite of the noodles.

The stomach that has no appetite seems to be opened at once.

Mu Tong was very happy to see his master eating a full bowl, "Your Highness, why don't you take Miss Shen in as a little cook?"

Ji Chong didn't seem to hear.

Mu Tong said no more.

After a while, he finished eating, "One more bowl."

"Yes, Your Highness." Mu Tong trotted out.

Really starved to death, Shen Chuxia and Mujin started eating as soon as they got back to the kitchen.

"Little lady, the meal is finished, shall we stay here or go back?" Mu Jin asked while eating.

"It's too late, I'll come back tomorrow morning." Anyway, there are many rooms here, so she just stays for one night shamelessly.

"Oh." Hibiscus happily just ate.

Zhishi followed in, "Where is our meeting?"

Shen Chuxia pointed to the big iron pot, "It's all in there."

"His Royal Highness came here suddenly today, the cook didn't know, he thought he would be hungry today, but he didn't expect to have a bite." Zhishi babbled while filling the noodles.

"I'm sorry, brother."

"Don't call me Big Brother, I can't afford it. My name is Zhishi. This Hopu, Mrs. Shen can call us by my name from now on."

"Then how can I do it?" Shen Chuxia's mental age is not young, but in this life she is only fifteen or sixteen years old.

Zhishi eats noodles and has no time to return to her.

After a while, Mu Tong came again, "Do you still have noodles?"

"Keep your bowl."

Mu Tong shook his head, "Your Highness wants to eat."

The bowl of noodles just now was quite a lot, if you eat it again, you can still sleep at night, Shen Chuxia thought for a while, "Wait for me a moment." She quickly stewed a sweet egg custard.

"This is easy to digest and does not affect sleep."

Mu Tong didn't expect her to be so careful, he looked at her meaningfully, smiled and took her away.

After a simple meal of Yangchun noodles, several guards were drawn closer, and Shen Chuxia finally knew their names, "It seems that they are all the names of medicinal materials."

Zhishi nodded, "That's right, it's the name of the medicine."

Mu Jin smiled and said, "My name seems to be the name of a medicine too."

Zhishi asked: "What's it called?"

"Hibiscus, when I was a child, my fence was full of hibiscus flowers, so my mother named me this."

Zhishi smiled, "Mujin and Mutong sound like siblings."

Mu Jin couldn't think about it: "I don't dare to climb up with relatives."

Ji Chong didn't expect to bring egg custard, and after taking a bite, it was still sweet.

When Mu Tong saw the owner put down the spoon, he was startled, and hurried forward to clean it up.

"Let it go."

"Yes." Mu Tong carefully explained: "Miss Shen said this is easy to restrain."

As the king regent who can cover the sky with his hands, there are not many people around him who serve him, and there are also many people who please him, but there are very few people like Shen Chuxia who are self-assertive. He obviously wants noodles, and she will give you an egg custard. Forget it, it's still sweet, what do you think of him.
