delicious little cook

Chapter 486 The Angry Saint
The sage drank his tea freely, with only his tea in his eyes.

Bai Kou bowed her head and stood there motionless, holding the tea tray in both hands.

Before he knew it, the sage drank the cup of tea to the bottom, and let out a long and comfortable breath.

The invisible man-like Eunuch Xi finally raised his eyes lightly. Seeing that the saint was holding a teacup in a daze, he couldn't help but glance at Bai Kou who was standing below him. .

"Your Majesty is very fond of tea today. It seems that Xiaobai Kou has some experience in the tea ceremony. Would you like another cup, Your Majesty?"

The saint woke up from his contemplation, glanced around, and then looked at Bai Kou, "Okay, let's have another drink."

Bai Kou immediately raised the tea tray, caught the teacup put down by the sage, and took three steps back before turning to the tea table, adding water and sending it back immediately.

This time, Eunuch Xi directly picked up the teacup and handed it to the sage. The sage blew on the cool air, as if he felt the temperature of the water was scalding his mouth, and put the cup on the table in front of him again.

"Bai Kou."

"Your maidservant is here." Bai Kou hurriedly responded, and at the same time put his heels together, standing more neatly.

"You seem to have had a good time in Duke Ye's mansion this year. You have grown a lot taller than last year."

"Duke Ye and his wife are kind-hearted, and they never treat their servants harshly. Thanks to them, the servants are doing well."

"It's not just 'it's okay' so modest, right? Now who doesn't know that you are Gu Yun's pocketbook, and the new factory with [-] acres of land next year will make everyone in the capital look forward to it. I listen to the government school. According to the news, Gu Yun's recent policy has some experience when it comes to economic issues, and the content of the article has real evidence, and it is no longer just empty rhetoric."

"That's because the prince has studied on his own, and he knows how to combine the theoretical knowledge in books with practical experience."

"Are you saying that you don't take half of the credit?"

"Whether the servant has any credit in the eyes of the prince, the prince knows it himself, and there is no need for the slave to remind me."

"You run such a big business, isn't it another form of **** reminder?"

"The servant is just an official servant. If the prince no longer needs the servant, he can dispose of the servant at any time. He doesn't bother to play tricks with the servant, and the servant dare not play tricks with the masters of the house."

"Hmph, servant girl, servant girl, servant girl, servant girl, servant girl, what's the matter? Unconvinced by this identity? Hold on to it?" The saint looked at Bai Kou's head, and suddenly snorted coldly. The atmosphere between the two And suddenly dignified.

Eunuch Xi raised his eyelids lightly, looked at the face of the saint, and then at Bai Kou who kept his head down, lowered his eyes and continued to pretend to be invisible.

Bai Kou didn't understand why the saint suddenly made an attack, but she didn't panic and begged for mercy, she still stood upright.

"Your Majesty calm down, this servant is just stating objective facts." Bai Kou's voice was stable as usual, unhurried.

The sage on the dragon chair half-closed his eyes, "You're young, and you're quite courageous."

"Just benefited from a little bit of unusual life training."

"What are you implying? Alluding to your bad life in Yachifang in those years?"

"The servant girl is only stating objective facts, and dare not imply anything."

"I know that you had a terrible time in Yachifang's school in those few years. The environment in the workshop was not good. As a girl, you suffered a lot, and you were bullied by your teachers and sisters. Your life was miserable."

"Eh?!" Bai Kou couldn't help but move his neck, but fortunately he lowered his head in time, not daring to look directly at the saint on the dragon chair, "...How could Your Majesty know?"

"Why didn't I know? Do you think the crown prince has the final say on the big operation jointly carried out by the City Defense Camp and Yingtian Mansion? Shouldn't he ask for my opinion in advance? Don't discuss the action plan with the governor? The governor has ruled for many years There is such a place, why don’t you make a plea to me? Wei Qian’s black materials are all written by you, I have read every word, I cleaned up a cancer, and you gave yourself a sigh of relief, killing two birds with one stone.”

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"You're out of breath, and you're not allowed to have any more grievances in the future, you know?"

"The slave has no resentment."

"Is there really no resentment?"

"The servant has no grievances, please learn from your Majesty."

"If there is really no resentment, why did I hear that Gu Yun once said that if something happened to you one day, he would make a petition and ask for forgiveness for your family?"

"After the servant girl saved the emperor's grandson, she was worried about being retaliated by others. If something happened, the prince wanted to comfort the servant girl's spirit in the sky, so he came up with such a proposal. If His Majesty refuses, let it be. He did what he can do. It's comforting."

"You saved the emperor's grandson, and I have already rewarded you. Fortunately, you were only slightly injured in the attack in summer. If you really died at that time, Gu Yun just wrote a hundred-page petition, and I would just throw it back. I will never agree to an amnesty. Your family failed the emperor's grace and caused a catastrophe, and you still want to be a free citizen? It is impossible for all eternity!" The saint was suddenly excited, and slapped the table hard , the tea bowls jumped up, spilling a little tea.

When Bai Kou heard such a sentence suddenly, she felt like falling into an ice cave, a chill rushed from her head to the soles of her feet, making her shiver all over.

Eunuch Xi helped the saint in time, stroked his back to comfort him, calmed him down, and said something well, don't be as knowledgeable as an official servant.

Bai Kou even took a few deep breaths to stabilize his emotions, and couldn't help raising his head anymore. Even so, he still tried his best to control his gaze not to look directly at Longyan.

"What? Still not convinced?"

"Your Majesty, when Prince Dalso led the mission to the capital, the slaves had already been studying in Yachifang, and their families were separated. I just heard that they were sentenced to exile and went to the border. The cause of the accident was the welcome dinner after the advance team arrived in Beijing. The guests After the banquet, they vomited and diarrhea in the middle of the night, checked and checked, and finally found that there were spoiled condiments in the imperial kitchen, and the person in charge of these things was the servant's father Bai Xiaoshan."

"Now that you know the facts of the case, you should know the consequences. Bai Yehong has been with me for decades. He was my cook when he was in the mansion. I have given him my full trust for decades. He just repays me like this." ?!" The sage recalled the past, became furious, and slapped the desk case loudly, but Eunuch Xi couldn't persuade him for a while.

The attendants outside the tent were alarmed, and soldiers from the imperial army came in to check the situation, but Grandpa Xi scolded them to go out and asked them to surround the tent to prevent anyone from eavesdropping.

The soldiers hurriedly bowed and retreated, gathered their hands and stood around the dragon tent, and no one could step into the circle.

But the news of the sage's fury still spread in the imperial camp, and quickly spread to the outside, and it didn't take long for the entire winter hunting camp to know.

The queen was chatting with the prince in her tent, so she reported the situation in the dragon tent to her as soon as possible, and immediately ordered decisively.

"Send someone to guard outside the imperial camp. If Gu Yun comes, quickly bring him in."

"Yes, ma'am."
