Forbidden Autumn, Summer, Winter and Spring Rebirth

The ingredients for Babao Soup are all ready-made, but the cooking process is long and boring. Put the eight ingredients into boiling mountain spring water and simmer over high heat for half an hour. During this time, boiling water must be added to the stew pot continuously. Then turn to low heat and simmer for an hour, until the soup is thick and translucent. The eight ingredients are mixed with the soup, and the taste is sweet and soft. Add rock sugar to increase the sweetness.

Shuang'er ordered the little palace maid to cook the eight-treasure soup herself. The little palace maid was sensible. After the eight-treasure soup was successfully cooked, she first served a bowl for Shuang'er to taste. When Shuang'er was satisfied, she served Qi Guiren's. The eight-treasure soup was brought to Shuang'er, who delivered it in person.

Mr. Qi had been worried all day and was in a bad mood. When he saw Shuang'er bringing up a bowl of steaming eight-treasure soup, he couldn't help but have some appetite despite the cold weather, so he tried to take a sip and drank it unconsciously. Had a small bowl.

Seeing that she had whetted her appetite, Shuang'er served another bowl. Although she only drank half of the second bowl, it made Shuang'er smile. She immediately expressed her gratitude to the little palace maid who cooked the eight-treasure soup. Feeling more comfortable, he rewarded the little palace maid with some silver and a few plain silver hairpins, and gave her the task of cooking eight treasure soup in the future.

In this way, Mr. Qi had to drink a bowl of the eight-treasure soup every day, sometimes even twice a day. Not to mention that the little palace maid got a reward, the job of cooking the eight-treasure soup was not much easier than the ordinary errand, so naturally it was a bit The palace maid was jealous of her.

On this day, news suddenly reached Jingren Palace. On the way to exile, a group of people encountered a group of bandits. Seeing that they were a team of the imperial court, the bandits did not have a direct conflict with them. However, when the bandits parted ways with the team escorting the prisoners, , a stray arrow shot from nowhere struck E Min in the chest, killing him on the spot.

The Queen was shocked and shouted angrily, "What's going on? Didn't I order someone to protect E Min along the way?"

No wonder the queen was angry. Although she lost an Emin this time, Emin's life was also a bargaining chip for her to hold Qi Guiren hostage.

The dragon fetus in Qi Guiren's belly cannot be kept for a long time. She is pregnant at this time just to make the emperor look aside and save E Min's life, and to hold Qi Guiren hostage, so that she will willingly use the child in her belly to repay the queen's death. grace.

Now that E Min was assassinated, she also lost this bargaining chip. It was not that she was worried that Qi Guiren would cause trouble, but that Qi Guiren no longer wanted to use the child in her belly to help her bring down Concubine Jing and others. She also had many ways to do so. She couldn't keep this child.

However, not using this child according to the original plan will ultimately make this child lose its value, which is a pity.

Jiang Fuhai lowered his head and wiped his sweat, and replied, "Back to you, Madam, we had sent people to secretly protect E Min while he was in exile, but the bandit appeared and disappeared, but he seemed to have a clear target, and the stray arrows came straight towards E Min. Of all these people, only E Min died. None of our people were prepared for that stray arrow, which is why E Min lost his life and missed the important event of the empress."

"Who knows the news about E Min's death?" the queen asked sharply.

"This is the news that our people just sent back this morning. Only the emperor has received the news now, but the emperor's intention is to suppress the matter first and send people to encircle and suppress the bandits." Jiang Fuhai replied.

"That's good, Jiang Fuhai, be careful. Everyone who knows this news must keep their mouths shut. They must not spread it to Mr. Qi."

"Yes, I obey." Jiang Fuhai slowly stepped back.

"Only E Min died...who could it be..." the queen pondered.

"Is your Majesty saying that E Min's assassination was not an accident?" Grandma Chen asked.

The queen sneered, "Accident? How come there are so many accidents!"

"Aqing, please go to Chuxiu Palace for me again and tell Mr. Qi that the older the child is in her belly, the more she will suffer." The queen ordered in a cold voice.

Grandma Chen was about to say something but hesitated, and had to respond, "Yes."

As Aunt Chen left, the Queen was the only one left in the palace. She held her forehead and sighed, her heart was so depressed that she began to feel a dull pain in her forehead. When Grandma Chen arrived at Chuxiu Palace, Qi Guiren was using the eight-treasure soup.

Seeing that it was Granny Chen, Mr. Qi waved away the others.

"Your Excellency is well. The Queen has sent a servant to greet you."

"Mom, I'd like to take a trip. I would like to thank the Queen for your concern." Qi Guiren said calmly.

"My noble mistress, I have something to tell you. The longer the dragon fetus is in your belly and the longer the month, the more you will suffer in the future. Please think carefully and make plans in advance."

"Please tell the Queen, I understand."

Nanny Chen nodded with a smile, and turned around to catch a glimpse of the half-used eight-treasure soup made by Qi Guijun on the table. She was very familiar with this soup. It was when Queen Chunyuan was pregnant at the Qiandi, and the queen took care of her carefully. Improved eight-treasure soup.

How come there is such eight treasure soup in Qi Guiren's palace?

Then I thought about it, Queen Chunyuan was very happy that day, and she had a special liking for this soup. The Queen Mother also knew about it at that time, so she asked the Queen to teach the cooking method to the master in the imperial kitchen. It’s not surprising to find Eight Treasure Soup. As long as you put in a little more effort, the recipe for Eight Treasure Soup is not hard to come by.

Aunt Chen didn't take this matter to heart. When she returned to Jingren Palace, she saw the empress holding her forehead and looking in pain, and she knew that the empress had another headache.

She wanted to take out the Anshen Incense made by Jin Concubine and light it for the Queen, but was stopped by the Queen without any surprise.

"My dearest lady, please don't bear it anymore. You've endured it so many times. Just use that incense once, just this once." Grandma Chen begged.

The throbbing pain in her forehead came one after another, more severe than every previous pain. The queen finally lowered her hands dejectedly and stopped blocking her.

Qi Guiren finally made up her mind and was willing to sacrifice her unborn child for the sake of her father's life.

Shuang'er brought another bowl of eight-treasure soup. Recently, Qi Gui had to drink this soup every day. If there was this eight-treasure soup, he could also use some of it for the meals nearby.

After finishing the bowl of eight-treasure soup, Qi Guiren was about to eat something else. The little palace maid who cooked the eight-treasure soup suddenly asked to see her. Qi Guiren and Shuang'er were a little confused, but they still announced her. Come in.

The little palace maid knelt down when she came in, and reported to Mr. Qi with tears in her eyes, "To inform you, little master, I just went to the royal kitchen to get tomorrow's ingredients. I heard someone talking... They said... something happened to Mr. E Min..."

"What?" Qi Guiren suddenly stood up and asked loudly, "Something happened to my father? Impossible, impossible..."

Shuang'er hurriedly stepped forward to support Mr. Qi and comforted him, "Don't be anxious, little master. This is an unreasonable thing. Maybe this girl heard wrong. As the Queen is here, nothing will happen to you."

"Queen...yes, I want to find the queen..." Qi Guiren said suddenly, and then quickly walked out of the side hall and headed towards Jingren Palace.
