Marrying Mrs. Hou and making a living by relying on her circle of food friends

Chapter 8

After eating and drinking, Gu Yunyue focused on the chef recommendation. What dish can stand out among many chefs?
While he was racking his brains, the QQ panel suddenly rang again. Gu Yunyue browsed it casually, saw Su Qilin's dinner updates, and then took a closer look.

You won’t know if you don’t watch it, but you will be shocked when you look at it. Good guy, after she Gu Yunyue was poisoned by the old prince, watched Su Qilin interrogate the prisoner in the Yamen, and returned to Chengyuan, she couldn’t stop dealing with Guoer for a moment. She was so exhausted and exhausted. Don’t think about food and tea.And for him, Su Qilin's dinner was as sumptuous as ever.Look at these sweet and sour short ribs, look at this stir-fried baby cabbage, look at this steamed sea bass.

Gu Yunyue clicked her tongue and marveled, the Marquis is worthy of being the Marquis, he has a really good appetite.

Some people were happy and some were sad. At this time, the queen who was accompanying the emperor on his southern tour was staying at a post station in the city. The queen's confidant, Ruxin, was massaging the shoulders and back of the lady sitting at the table.

"Now that the official...the master is here for a visit, my wife is also very tired. Later, I will ask the store to boil hot water so that my wife can relieve her fatigue." Ru Xin said with a smile.

But the queen couldn't laugh. The woman who suddenly rushed to the royal chariot and called his majesty her father was still a thorn in her heart. The incident a few years ago came to her mind again.

"Ruxin, how many years have I been the queen..." The queen looked at the expressionless woman reflected in the mirror. There were faint fine lines at the corners of her eyes and on the side of her nose. Time makes people grow old, even if they are queens. , sitting in this position where countless people admire and admire her, enjoying the so-called "Queen's Thousand Years" when countless people kneel down to say hello, she is still getting older.

Ruxin followed the queen's gaze and looked at the queen's temples, where strands of gray hair emerged from the hairpin. "I guess Madam is tired. Let me help Madam comb her hair." As she said that, she picked up the comb on the makeup box and gently hid the few strands of gray hair into the black hair.

This act of self-deception was not spared by the queen, who smiled self-deprecatingly, "I'm old."

But her husband, that man didn't seem to be aging like her over the years, at least not mentally.There have been many storms in the palace, and there is never a shortage of young and beautiful women. However, the Queen knows that there is always a hurdle in Her Majesty's heart that cannot be overcome. Concubine Gu Gu, who died mysteriously and suddenly, and the child who was stillborn, Just because His Majesty never mentioned it, it doesn't mean that he really forgot and turned over the topic.

Those delicate and slender fingers that were not stained with spring water slid from the corners of the eyebrows, eyes, and lips, and you could still vaguely see the unparalleled charm of your youth.

The queen smiled faintly and recalled that there was a time when she had not yet entered Yeting, but was just Zhang Muyuan. Did she ever think that a few years later, she would sit in the back seat, one person below ten thousand people, killing people without batting an eyelid? appearance.

Ru Xin was speechless. She was the son of a family who accompanied the queen to the palace. It took a long time for her to speak, "Everyone ages."

"But dead people don't." Zhang Muyuan closed his eyes fiercely, "Gu Zhiyi will always look young in his heart. Oh, Gu Zhiyi will not grow old..."

The sound behind slowly faded away, and finally disappeared with the candlelight.

Ru Xin understood the look in his eyes and comforted softly: "I will send a message to the servants on behalf of the madam. After taking a bath, please take a good rest." After that, he turned around and quietly left the room.

In the back kitchen, Ruxin looked at the person who came to report and asked softly: "How is it?" The person's face looked ugly and hesitantly replied: "It didn't go well. The timing was bad. The secret guards sent out this time They were all repelled by He Anhou... No one, no one survived."

After hearing this, Ruxin said angrily: "Trash!" She glared at the visitor angrily, "You can't do anything like this. Is the Zhang family raising you and training you just to kill others?"

When things come to this, getting angry is useless. "I don't need to explain how important this matter is to Miss." Ru Xin said in a gentler tone, "Miss, let me go and tell you, please leave quickly. I will let you know if I have plans."

When Zhang Muyuan saw Ru Xin returning to the room with a solemn expression, his heart tightened. He knew that the matter must not be settled, so he snorted and said nothing.

"Madam, there is no need to be anxious. This time we are with Anhou. The timing is just bad luck." Ru Xin quickly walked to the queen's side and said softly: "Whether that woman is innocent or... she is a real princess, we In the long run, we must get rid of her."

Zhang Muyuan nodded. His Majesty's southern tour was almost coming to an end, and she didn't want to make any more mistakes.It's a good thing to cut through the mess with a quick knife, and that's what she wants, but she also knows that she shouldn't act rashly, because if she alerts the enemy, the gain will outweigh the loss.

"Do you have a solution?" Zhang Muyuan asked calmly.

Ru Xin smiled again, "Hou Anhou is quite powerful, but he also knows that the court is keeping a close eye on him, and there will always be times when the head and tail are ignored. Even if he has extraordinary abilities, is it possible that he can still control him? The woman is tied to her body and cannot be protected."

Seeing that the queen's face softened slightly after hearing this, she continued, "We really shouldn't act rashly, but just wait and see what happens. Something will always go wrong with Marquis An, and when this woman is alone, we can cut the trouble quickly." when."

"Don't worry, ma'am. I will send someone to take care of this matter and keep a close eye on it." Ruxin patted the queen's shoulder to express comfort. How could she not know the queen's concerns about Gu Zhiyi and the dead baby? This kind of thing that the two of them know well does not need to be stated openly.

Zhang Muyuan nodded, she felt more at ease when Ruxin was doing things, but He Anhou was indeed not an easy person to deal with.Plus Lu Yunlan, who was supposed to marry He Anhou...

Zhang Muyuan was so angry at the pile of rags that she had a splitting headache. She stood up, motioned to Ru Xin to change her clothes, and said softly: "Lu Yunlan said she didn't recognize the jade pendant. She shouldn't be the same child back then. But it doesn't matter if she It's enough to deal with it cleanly, do the Lu family dare to commit the crime of deceiving the king because of her?"

Gu Zhiyi, Gu Zhiyi, was a thorn in Zhang Muyuan's side back then, trampling on the dignity of her, a majestic queen, under his feet.I originally thought that Gu Zhiyi could die, but decades suddenly passed by. Not only did she not die, but she somehow instigated her daughter to come to the imperial court to recognize her father.

If she could survive incognito like this, she would be kept in the dark and she could let Gu Zhiyi and her daughter go. But in the current situation, if Gu Zhiyi was not killed, it would be Zhang Zhang who was left dead. Muyuan is gone.

She may not be happy in the position of queen, but what belongs to her is hers. Anyone who wants to remove Zhang Muyuan from power, don't blame her for being ruthless and ruthless.
