Chapter 125 Curly Elbow Flower 3
Seeing this situation, Mo Xi felt restless, and said to Wang Yifu: "It seems that the other party doesn't intend to let you go."

"I will be more careful, sister Moxi, don't worry."

Mo Xi lowered her eyes to meditate, thought carefully and said, "Pack up your things and go to sleep in Juanzi and I's room."

"This... still doesn't trouble the two of you..."

"No trouble, no trouble, you live here alone, I'm afraid that person just now will come again, even though you are a chef, in this palace, it is not impossible for you to stumble and fall into the well."

After thinking about it, Wang Yifu thought it made sense, and immediately turned around and went back to pack her clothes, and went to the residence with Mo Xi.

The next day Wang Yifu cooked three meals for Xu Xinyan herself. In the morning she specially made egg cakes, at noon she made Shen Ci's best glazed chicken, and in the evening she made the curly elbow flowers that Shen Ci often made for her.

It takes a lot of work to roll the elbow. The ingredients need to be the front elbow. After the fire is over, the outer skin is scraped off, the bone is scratched to make the elbow lie flat, and then marinated with spices to taste.

The marinated elbow should be wrapped in bean cloth, with the skin facing outwards and the meat facing inwards, rolled up, tied tightly with thread, and then the bones and the rolled elbows should be stewed together, and spices such as cloves, cinnamon, angelica, grass, etc. should be added.

After stewing, let it cool, then cut it into thin slices, each slice looks round but not round, and has three layers of color, the outermost layer of dark amber elbow skin, the white fat layer under the skin, and the pink lean meat layer inside.

The elbows are rolled up like this, just like the flowers drawn on the painting, the flowers of curled elbows are worthy of the name.

This dish is salty, fresh and tender, and it tastes delicious when dipped in water. It looks good, and Xu Xinyan loves it very much.

When they were in the inner teaching workshop, the three of them would spend every summer under the cold silver light, eating curly flowers accompanied by the sound of insects, sipping meat and wine, until they were drunk and fell asleep with the evening wind.

But now, Wang Yifu concluded that Xu Xinyan did not dare to eat her food anymore.

When the meal-carrying eunuch brought the food box back, the food inside was still untouched, Wang Yifu sneered, and Fuling and Dongxue shuddered behind the laugh.

"Is your empress afraid that I will poison you?"

The eunuch carrying food hurriedly bowed his head in a panic, and only said intermittently: "Young one... I don't know. It's just Mr. Zhang Shan, the empress didn't eat anything today, should I sue the imperial hospital..."

"Don't worry, this empress will not let herself go hungry, you guys go to rest, I have my own measure."

Fuling and Dongxue were cleaning up the dining room, and they dared not come forward to speak until the eunuch who carried the meals had left, "Madam, Madam Xu ate a little more or less of the things Madam Zhou made two days ago, I don't know. Does Mother Zhou have any secret recipes, or ask Mother Zhou to teach us?"

Wang Yifu shook her head and said: "This lady, after eating the dishes I cooked for three years, she dares not eat them now, but she has a ghost in her heart. As long as I am in this dining room, she will not dare to eat them. Things from the dining room."

At this point, I just saw Du Jingmo coming with a lamp. Seeing someone approaching, Wang Yifu turned her head and told: "Both of you, tidy up the dining room. I have something to ask the imperial physician."

She stepped down the steps and went up to meet Du Jingmo. Du Jingmo smiled slightly and said, "Eve, take it easy."

Wang Yifu was full of only Shen Ci, she hurried to approach, and asked, "How is Shen Ci?"

As soon as this question came out, he looked lonely and his brows were slightly frowned.

"Tell me, how is she?"

Du Jingmo's lips parted slightly, but he didn't speak. Wang Yifu urged him again and again before he opened his mouth and said weakly: "Shen Ci's hand... must be amputated."

Wang Yifu seemed to have been scolded head-on, shaking her to the bone marrow. She staggered and was about to fall, but was supported by Du Jingmo, and said anxiously: "Yifu, are you okay, Yifu?" ?”

She shook her head to wake herself up, and begged, "Is there no other way?"

Du Jingmo's head seemed to be worth a thousand dollars. He couldn't bear to look at Wang Yifu's disappointed face anymore, closed his eyes, and shook his head with all his strength.

Wang Yifu suddenly grabbed the clothes on Du Jingmo's arms, using too much force, her whole hand trembled while holding the clothes, her nails pierced through the material of the clothes and dug into the flesh, so that she calmed down a little.

"Then you go in person, take care of her for me, don't let her suffer alone there, lonely, I don't worry about others, you must go in person."

"I will go, I will definitely save Shen Ci's life, Eve, don't worry."

"Jing Mo, Shen Ci can only rely on you..."

"It's up to us, Eve, we'll save her."

Du Jingmo wanted to take care of Shen Ci himself, and he didn't stay for long, so Wang Yifu drove him away early.

Wang Yifu couldn't calm down after hearing the news, so she hurried to Mo Xi's dining room. When she stood at the door, Mo Xi understood what she wanted to do.

"Juanzi, look at them packing up, I'll go back with Efu first."

After Juanzi agreed, the two went back to the room of the Sixth Bureau and the First Division.

It was getting late, they first glanced at the yard, there were no strange people, then moved the tables and chairs to a place far away from the doors and windows, Mo Xi lit the lamp, and only after the two sat down did they dare to speak in a low voice.

"Shen Ci is worthy of being your good friend. I heard that Gong Zheng was interrogating her. Even if her hand was pinched, she never told you."

Speaking of this, Wang Yifu's nose sprang up again, forcing tears to flow out, she gritted her teeth to speak calmly.

"I know, otherwise, I should be arrested and sent to Gong Zhengsi as soon as I return to the palace, where can I go to see her..."

"I asked a lot of people, but I can't know exactly which empress she has defected to."

"Is there any news, Sister Mo Xi, please tell me."

"During the two days when Gongzheng arrested Shen Ci, Xu Xinyan went to different palaces every day to pay her respects. Don't look at her young age, she is always respectful and cautious in front of the ladies and gentlemen of the palaces, showing no signs of courtesy.

And she is not close to any palace, except that she goes to Kunning Palace to pay her respects every day according to the concubine palace system. She goes to Changchun Palace today and Jingren Palace tomorrow, and no empress is left behind. "

"Feng Xiaobao should have taught her this. She didn't have such thoughts... Then what about the few days when she used the swing to seduce the emperor? Where she is, if no one takes care of her, how can she swing there?"

"I also inquired about what you said. Qiu Xing took care of the swing. I heard that she embroidered a lot of things and asked Feng Xiaobao to find someone to sell them outside the palace. All the money from the sale was given to Qiu Xing. Let Qiu Xing relax."

"Then which lady came to Gongzheng to tell the news, do you have any explanation?"

"In those two days, Gong Zheng had to go to the empress to answer his questions every day. Afterwards, Empress Li, Empress Defei, and Empress Hui all summoned Gong Zheng. Who told Gong Zheng this news is really uncertain."
