Chapter 430
After Dong Ge and the others dispersed and left, Ruan Meiniang naturally got busy on the sidelines.

After lighting the fire and burning charcoal, after the water boiled, she took out the small clay pot from the house, put the things in it and started to cook.

In just a moment, the air exudes a strong fragrance.

Gu Mingshu's posture was originally lazy, but after a while, she couldn't help changing her sitting posture.

She flipped through the information in the letter, but the scent was so overbearing that it kept drilling into her nose.

She took a deep breath, threw the things in her hand on the table, and asked, "What are you doing?"

Ruan Meiniang seemed to be concentrating on cooking, but at least half of her attention was on Gu Mingshu.

After all, that was the immediate boss she wanted to coax.

"Ma'am, you must have suffered a lot during these days." Ruan Meiniang sighed sadly, her voice was gentle and distressed: "Time is a bit rushed now, if you want to cook hard dishes, at least you need several Shi Chen, I can only use this to pad my stomach first."

She was a little humble in saying that.

Gu Mingshu was still some distance away from the other party, but she was already hooked by the domineering fragrance and her heart flew away.

"Madam, try it and see if it suits your appetite." Ruan Meiniang put a white porcelain bowl on the table, her eyes were full of water, she was a little expectant, but also a little apprehensive.

Gu Mingshu just tasted it shallowly, and the breath on her body softened visibly to the naked eye.

"How is it?" Ruan Meiniang asked softly.

"good."

Regarding food, Gu Mingshu is not stingy with her praise.

During these days, being trapped underground, what she missed most was Ruan Meiniang's good cooking skills.

"The entrance is delicious, and the taste of this dish is also good."

After receiving Gu Mingshu's compliment, Ruan Meiniang immediately showed a sweet smile: "This preparation is a bit hasty, and I will let you taste the soup made with fresh ingredients tomorrow."

Because she was not sure when Gu Mingshu would come back, Ruan Meiniang turned the ingredients into work, adding some water when needed, and cooking it.

It is very convenient, but it also loses the deliciousness that fresh ingredients should have.

Gu Mingshu looked at the other party, and said in a slow tone, "You didn't stay here specially to make food, did you?"

Ruan Meiniang sat down opposite, and said in an unhurried voice, "I can't hide it from Madam."

"The maid is still for the underground shrine."

Ruan Meiniang bit her lower lip, her expression a bit tangled, and after a while, she finally made a decision: "Can you tell me in detail what happened to you underground?"

Gu Mingshu's eyes slightly raised: "How do you say?"

Ruan Meiniang said in a sullen tone, "How much have you guessed about my identity?"

Gu Mingshu was not surprised that the other party said this suddenly, but she also sat up straight with a serious posture: "You are one of the seven holy babies."

Ruan Meiniang couldn't help sighing when she heard the words, a little helpless, but more of a sudden expression: "I really can't hide it from you, yes, I am indeed one of the Seven Holy Infants."

Gu Mingshu's eyes were calm, but she secretly thought that it was so.

Ruan Meiniang knew too much information.

Many of them also involved cryptic messages.

And it is very difficult to get in touch with that part of the news, unless the other party has a special identity.

"However, as I said before, it is true that I am Mu Wanwan's maid." Ruan Meiniang said suddenly: "Back then, sister Dongge and I were both selected as candidates for the Seven Holy Infants."

Following what Ruan Meiniang said, Gu Mingshu also understood.

It turned out that the Seven Holy Infants were not determined from the beginning.

In the beginning, there were more than 100 babies who could be selected.

But those more than 100 will be eliminated in just three months.

"More than 100 babies have just come into the world, but they want to..." She paused, as if she didn't want to recall what happened back then, and after a while, her emotions came out: "Soon, they will... Many died. In just three months, only 100 of the more than 24 children remained."

Gu Mingshu looked a little surprised: "Those should be things that happened not long after you were born, do you still remember?"

Ruan Meiniang's face was bitter: "Yes, according to the normal development of life, I wouldn't remember those things. But I do."

"At that time, I was still young, and I didn't understand why it happened. But as time went by, when I grew up, every meeting was scary."

When Gu Mingshu heard this, she really felt terrible.

When I was young, I had no strength to restrain the chicken, and I had no ability to resist, so I could only let others treat me.

I don't understand anything, and I don't feel anything.

But Ruan Meiniang remembered everything.

She sighed, and said in a low voice: "Otherwise, forget it, these things..."

"No." Ruan Meiniang shook her head directly: "Let me finish, if I don't finish this time, I'm afraid I won't have the courage to think about those things in the future."

Gu Mingshu was silent, and after a while, she said, "Okay, as you wished, what happened afterwards?"

"Later, someone wanted to give us medicine again. But before the medicine was given, the Emperor of the Moon Worship was hit, and even the temple was not spared. The national teacher at that time didn't care about continuing to give us medicine, so he organized People activated the mechanism and hid the seven temples deep underground. Our holy babies were also stolen out."

When Gu Mingshu heard this, she almost understood.

Ruan Meiniang was lucky, she followed Mu Wanwan and pretended to be a princess.

She suddenly remembered something, and asked: "There were more than twenty children at that time, how can you be sure that it is one of the seven holy babies?"

"I also wish I wasn't, but I just am." Ruan Meiniang looked a little sad: "The reason why I can become one of the Seven Holy Infants is because I can receive the potion and have a birthmark on my arm. I should be regarded as having a special constitution. After one dose of medicine, there is this birthmark."

Ruan Meiniang rolled up her sleeves, revealing her delicate white arms, and what was more eye-catching was that there was an iris flower on her elbow.

Gu Mingshu suddenly remembered that the national flower of worshiping the moon is the iris.

People with higher status have more iris leaves.
