Chapter 89 Beating the Imperial Kitchen Room

Su Maowen quickly lowered his head and responded.

I cursed in my heart, those smart-alecked idiots!

It’s enough to prepare a good meal so that the master can eat it comfortably. You don’t dare to mix in anything!
I asked you to praise the high and suppress the low. Now you have stepped on a piece of iron, right?

It’s simply seeking death!

Chu Yao walked back with a sullen face, and met Chu You who had returned from Liangfei's palace.

"Third brother, what happened?"

Seeing him, Chu Yao told him that someone poisoned Yaoyao.

Afterwards, I looked worried, fearing that my sister would not have enough to eat or clothing to keep warm in the future.

After hearing this, Chu You secretly made a note to the Zheng family, and then patted him on the shoulder.

"Don't worry. Father only said that we are not allowed to enter Qionghua Palace, but we can always leave something at the door."

After hearing this, Chu Yao's eyes lit up and he nodded heavily.

"That's right!"

Su Maowen worked very efficiently, and in less than half a day, many people from the imperial kitchen to the cook were arrested.

The head chef was kneeling on the ground, wiping away cold sweat and trembling like chaff.

Could it be that his bullying of the palace maid was discovered?

Or was it revealed that his nephew committed a murder outside the palace?

He looked at Su Maowen flatteringly.

"Manager Su, why is this?"

Su Maowen looked at him coldly and nodded at the banknotes found in his room.

"This palace can only accommodate two kinds of slaves, one is honest and responsible, and the other is truly smart!"

The head chef immediately collapsed on the ground, the blood on his face faded and became as pale as paper, and the last glimmer of hope in his eyes was completely extinguished.

There are so many people in this palace who can take advantage of the situation, and he is just going with the flow and selling out favors as usual.

He really didn't understand why a concubine and princess who had been rejected by the emperor would bring such disaster to him?

Seeing his demeanor, Su Maowen sneered in his heart.

Can't figure it out?
Then go to the underworld and ask the Lord of Hell!

The imperial dining room suddenly lost many people, but many people came in one after another, but no one was curious, and no one dared to ask.

In this huge palace, what does a few people mean? Nothing could be further from the norm.

It was getting late, and Su Maowen prepared to leave after serving a cup of strong tea.

Just when he thought the emperor was going to stay in the imperial study again tonight, Emperor Qixuan spoke calmly.

"Let's go to Yunshui Palace and Zheng's palace."

When Su Maowen heard this, his heart skipped a beat.

Doesn’t the emperor want it?

Although there were thousands of thoughts in his mind, his reaction was very quick.

"Yes, I will send someone to inform Zheng Ronghua right now."

Emperor Qixuan stood up and walked out from behind the desk, "No need, just go over."

As he spoke, he pursed his lips into a straight line and his eyes were cold.

Seeing this, Su Maowen became more and more sure of his guess, and quickly lowered his head and followed.

In a side hall of Yunshui Palace.

Zheng Ronghua walked around the room anxiously, looking a little uneasy and more expectant.

She fiddled with the veil, "Why hasn't the news come yet?"

"Are you sure you put...in?"

Yuzhu nodded and replied: "This slave bribed the chief cook and personally administered the medicine."

Suddenly, a shout came from outside:
"The Emperor has arrived!"

Hearing this voice, Zheng Ronghua was overjoyed. She quickly checked her clothes and makeup, and quickly picked up the lipstick and applied it.

Then he hurried out to pick up the driver.

As she walked, she thought: Sure enough, the emperor can only see them if Li Wanzhi is gone!
She walked to the steps and knelt on the ground with a smile on her face, her voice soft and melodious.

"I am here to see the Emperor."

Emperor Qixuan lowered his eyes and glanced at her coldly, said softly, and walked directly into the palace.

But Zheng Ronghua didn't think much. He looked up and saw the maid sent by other concubines of Yunshui Palace to observe secretly.

She looked at them arrogantly, and then returned to the palace with a proud look on her face.

In another side hall of Yunshui Palace, Zhao Guiren, who was still under restraint, almost had his teeth broken.

"The Emperor actually went to her place?!" The same scene happened in many places.

Looking at the tall and stalwart figure, Zheng Ronghua bit his lip slightly and walked slowly over.

Noticing her movements, Emperor Qi Xuan said calmly, "I remember that you know a lot about tea art. Let's go make a cup of tea."

Hearing this, Zheng Ronghua felt happy, but he didn't expect that the emperor would remember it!
She immediately responded happily: "Yes!"

Su Maowen outside the door had a serious look on his face. The emperor asked suddenly just now. He shouldn't have missed anything, right?

Suddenly there was the sound of breaking porcelain in the store, and he quickly opened the door and went in.

"Your Majesty, are you okay?"

Seeing the hands full of tea leaves, his eyelids jumped and he quickly went to the yard to get a basin of cold water.

"Your Majesty, please soak it in cold water first. I will go to the imperial doctor right away."

Zheng Ronghua had already been kneeling on the ground with a pale face.

How could this be?
Why did the emperor suddenly appear behind her when he was obviously sitting on a chair?
"Your Majesty, I forgive you. I didn't do it intentionally."

The burning feeling in his hands gradually disappeared, and Emperor Qi Xuan had time to look at her.

"Zheng's disgrace in front of the emperor will be punished with twenty sticks. He will be demoted to permanent status immediately and banned from Yunshui Palace!"

"No, Your Majesty!"

Zheng Changzai threw himself at his feet and begged.

"Your Majesty, I really didn't see you. I didn't do it intentionally."

"Oh?"

Emperor Qixuan looked at her with coldness in his eyes, "You mean, I should be blamed?"

Frightened by his eyes, Zheng Changzai spoke.

"I don't dare."

Su Maowen asked someone to pull her away, and Emperor Qi Xuan strode away.

This scene was passed on by the maids of each palace to their respective masters.

The concubines, who were so angry that they smashed many veils into pieces just now, all had expressions of gloating on their misfortune.

After dealing with the Zheng family, Emperor Qixuan felt a little relieved.

But when he thought about the real mastermind behind the scenes, he felt very angry.

"I, my concubine, see you, Your Majesty."

Under the moonlight, Xiao Yunxi, wearing a crescent-colored gauze skirt, slowly approached with a small basket in one hand and lotus flowers in the other.

As soon as he saw her, Emperor Qi Xuan clenched his hands behind his back slightly, his eyes became colder, but his tone was as calm as ever, making it impossible to tell what his mood was.

"What did Yue Zhaoyi do?"

Xiao Yunxi lowered his eyes, held his chin slightly, and said softly: "I saw lotus roots in the pond, so I picked some lotus seeds and prepared to make soup."

"Oh?"

Emperor Qixuan's eyes flashed slightly, "I wanted to ask you before, but I never thought that Princess Yue Zhaoyi could actually cook?"

Hearing this, Xiao Yunxi lowered his eyelids, his eyelashes trembled slightly, he looked sad, and his tone was choked.

"Your Majesty doesn't know something. Although I have the status of a princess, I grew up in a cold palace. Her life is not as good as that of a slave who is proud of herself in front of the palace masters."

Seeing her acting like this, Emperor Qixuan sneered in his heart.

Pretending!

He sighed, "It seems like it's not easy for you either."

Xiao Yunxi raised her head and shook it. The tears hanging on her eyelashes refused to fall. Her watery peach blossom eyes gave her a bit of innocence and harmlessness.

Looks pitiful to Chu Chu.

Being looked at by such a pair of eyes, it seems as if they are all about you and regard you as the only support.

"After coming here, especially seeing you, I feel that everything is worth it."

Su Maowen on the side sighed secretly in his heart, this Yue Zhaoyi is really good at it.

But who is Emperor Qi Xuan? He has known the truth for a long time. How could he be caught in a little honey trap?

Suddenly the wind picked up, and Xiao Yunxi sneezed lightly.

Then she hugged her shoulders, shivering, looking very cold, and her watery peach eyes revealed a bit of expectation.

Emperor Qixuan tightened his cloak.

"It's a cold night. I'm back. You can go too."

Seeing him turning around without any hesitation, Xiao Yunxi secretly stamped her feet and shouted unwillingly.

"Your Majesty, would you like to try the soup made by my concubine?"
