The cooking color is delicious, general, don't bite me

Chapter 227 The corpse was thrown away, how can I find it?
Looking at the small back of the little wax gourd going away, Meng Fuling felt mixed feelings, inexplicably sour.

She didn't look away until the little eunuch asked her to come to the side hall.

Unexpectedly, someone was already waiting in the side hall, holding a book in his hand, and when he saw Meng Fuling, a gentle smile appeared on his face.

This man is plump and handsome, with a white jade crown on his head, black hair like thick ink, long eyebrows, and a pair of long and narrow eyes that seem to be smiling.

Meng Fuling heard the little eunuch salute this man and called him His Highness the Prince, only then did he know that he was Shang Qihan.

He did not show up during the cooking competition, and there were very few rumors about him. It can be said that he is the most low-key among the princes.

Before, Qi Xuan once said that if the emperor can't do it, there will be a suitable candidate to be the emperor. He prefers two princes, one of which is Shang Qihan.

She also hurriedly saluted, thinking to herself, why is he here?She doesn't think it's a coincidence.

"Miss Meng, no courtesy!" Shang Qihan raised his hand to help Meng Fuling.

Her son has been born, and she still calls her a girl?Would Shang Qihan want to threaten her with her marriage with Qi Xuan, or what?
Meng Fuling couldn't help thinking about it, after all, she was scared by these royal family members, and she was more wary of Shang Qihan who met for the first time.

Shang Qihan saw the undisguised wariness in Meng Fuling's eyes and didn't point it out.

He said bluntly, "Miss Meng, it's not accidental that Bengong is here."

"You asked Eunuch Zhao to lead me here." Meng Fuling also said directly.

She didn't dare to take a peek at him even more. Not long after he was crowned prince, it was really not easy for the emperor's confidant Eunuch Zhao to obey him.

"Exactly!" He nodded again.

"I don't know why Your Highness did this?" Since the other party has admitted it frankly, Meng Fuling can naturally ask directly.

"I want to ask Miss Meng to help persuade General Qi. General Qi is brave and good at fighting. Only with him can I protect my great Chu—"

Before Shang Qihan could finish speaking, Meng Fuling interrupted him impatiently, "His Royal Highness!"

Her voice was slightly cold, she paused for a long time, and then said slowly: "Ah Xuan is not good at walking, he is no longer able to protect Da Chu!"

Ever since Shang Qihan opened his mouth, Meng Fuling knew what he was going to say, and felt so impatient.

Qi Xuan's legs had been hurt for more than half a year, the emperor really cared on the surface, and often rewarded precious supplements, but it was because Qi Xuan was still useful, and Wei Long Ling.

If he really cared about Qi Xuan, he would agree to his resignation. After all, his legs are bad, so how can he be appointed as a general again?Even if he can stand up, it must be different from before.

Shang Qihan personally went to the General's Mansion and talked with Qi Xuan for a long time, but at that time she just left the mansion, so she missed him.

Meng Fuling knew that Shang Qihan might not be able to persuade Qi Xuan, so he planned to attack her.

"I haven't finished talking yet, Miss Meng refused too quickly." Shang Qihan didn't show any displeasure, nor did he blame her for being rude.

Meng Fuling lowered her head and remained silent, Xiaodonggua was still in the palace, they hadn't left the capital city yet, so they shouldn't really offend the emperor or Shang Qihan.

Shang Qihan sighed, rather helplessly said: "I just want you to help persuade General Qi, I don't mean to threaten."

As he spoke, he took the initiative to change the topic and talked about something else in a chatty tone, as if what he just said did not come from him.

As long as he stopped talking about persuading Qi Xuan, Meng Fuling would breathe a sigh of relief and chat with him casually, but his mind was not on this, and he was only thinking about how Xiaodonggua was doing now.

Shang Qihan probably saw that Meng Fuling didn't want to talk to him very much, so he sat for a while and then left.

Meng Fuling felt strange, Shang Qihan came to see her specially, but didn't force her to persuade Qi Xuan?

Thinking of this, Meng Fuling couldn't help smiling wryly, it turned out that she had unconsciously regarded all members of the royal family as people with sinister moods.

Meng Fuling waited for a long time, but Xiaodonggua didn't come. She couldn't sit still, and was about to look for him when he came running up and down.

Little Winter Melon threw herself into Meng Fuling's arms, "Mother!"

"The emperor didn't make things difficult for you, did he?" Meng Fuling leaned close to Xiaodonggua's ear and asked in a low voice.

"No, we'll talk about it after we leave the palace." Xiao Donggua also moved closer to Meng Fuling's ear, imitating her tone mischievously, and whispered.

Meng Fuling scraped his nose with his hand in amused manner, and when he looked up, he saw the emperor standing at the entrance of the hall, looking at Xiaodonggua with a sad face.

The atmosphere suddenly seemed weird, neither was Meng Fuling saluting, nor was she not saluting.

"Your Majesty—" She paused for a long time before opening her mouth.

The emperor raised his hand to cut off her words, and looked at Xiaodonggua steadfastly, "If you can't find the other half of Weilong Token, you have to fulfill your promise."

promise?What promise?Meng Fuling's heart sank when she heard the word promise.

The smile on Xiaodonggua's face restrained a bit, "Don't worry, Your Majesty!"

He didn't want to talk too much with the emperor, and even the answer was extremely short.

"Go!" The emperor waved weakly, letting Meng Fuling and the others leave, as if he had aged a lot all of a sudden.

Meng Fuling took Xiaodonggua and left. After walking for a while, she could still feel that the emperor was still watching them from behind.

She was a little flustered, quickened her pace, went out of the palace gate, got into her own carriage, and then nervously asked Xiao Donggua, "What did you promise him?"

Meng Fuling held Xiaodonggua's arm too hard because she was nervous.

"Mother, don't be nervous! I won't leave you and Gourd in the capital city." Xiao Donggua smiled brightly, spoke to comfort Meng Fuling, and told her the content of the conversation with the emperor.

"What if he just wanted to trick us into helping him get back the other half of the Weilong Token, but he backtracked afterwards." Meng Fuling frowned. Things were different from what they had expected. Perhaps it should be said that they all underestimated the importance of Xiaodonggua in the emperor's heart. status.

Xiaodonggua returned the order to Weilong, naturally he wanted to tell the emperor his identity.

Qi Xuan and Meng Fuling themselves thought that the emperor might not be able to tolerate the little wax gourd, but this was not the case.

The emperor actually proposed to treat Xiaodonggua as a wandering prince and let him return to the royal family. In the future, he will find another opportunity to pass the throne to him.

Moreover, if Qi Xuan and Meng Fuling were to say that Xiao Donggua was actually adopted by them, they would not know that Xiao Donggua was actually the prince.

However, as soon as the emperor proposed it, he was rejected by Xiao Donggua. He refused to agree to such an approach, preferring to be Qi Xuan and Meng Fuling's sons.

When the emperor's persuasion was ineffective, he asked Xiaodonggua to get back the other half of Weilong Token.If he can't get it back, he will do it according to the emperor's plan and stay in the capital city.

Xiaodonggua promised to retrieve the order of Weilong, and the time limit given by the emperor was two months.

"So, Nangong Jue really took the other half of the Weilong Token?" Meng Fuling was a little skeptical.

Because the emperor took this as a gamble, she felt that the emperor didn't seem to care so much about Wei Longling, and mainly wanted to keep the little wax gourd.

"It should be." Little Winter Melon lay on Meng Fuling's lap, with a sullen tone.

"What should be, if Wei Long Ling is still in the hands of the emperor, we can't find it, then you have to roll to his side and become his son again, how can you easily agree to him?"

Meng Fuling slapped the small buttocks of the little wax gourd, with a look of hating iron but not steel.

"What if you don't agree?" Xiao Donggua said innocently, rubbing her little butt that was hurt by the spanking.

"So, you have already expected what the emperor will do, right? No wonder you said that he will not do anything to you." This is how the boy Ganqing's self-confidence comes from. Since he guessed it, he didn't say it earlier.

"If I can't even guess what he's thinking, I'll be his son for more than 20 years in vain." Xiao Donggua said weakly, her big black eyes didn't dare to look directly at Meng Fuling.

Meng Fuling laughed angrily, "Yes! You are the smartest, no wonder he always wants you to inherit the throne. Son, to be honest, are you tempted?"

Don't look at Meng Fuling's relaxed tone, in fact, her heart is tense, and even the palms are sweating. She is very afraid that Xiaodonggua will leave her.

It's not that she doesn't believe in Little Winter Melon, but that she cares too much, that's why she's so nervous.

"What's so tempting? There is no mother in the palace. In order to be able to eat the delicious food made by mother every day, I don't care about that position." Xiaodonggua said nonchalantly, and after finishing speaking, she kissed Meng Fuling deeply.

"Little Winter Melon is so good! Mother didn't raise you for nothing." Meng Fuling patted Little Winter Melon's head in relief.

Sighing secretly, the emperor had no choice but to choose Shang Qihan as the prince. In fact, the person who loves and relies the most is Xiao Donggua, otherwise, he would not have kept him regardless of his rebirth.

Little Winter Melon rubbed her head in Meng Fuling's arms coquettishly, and called "Mother" several times, only then did he regain the innocence that a child should have.

After returning to the General's Mansion, the mother and son went straight to Qi Xuan's room.

As soon as he arrived at the door, he heard Feng Lin begging for mercy, "General, general, don't! I can't take it anymore, ah, ah! Slow down, aim a little bit, don't push too hard..."

Meng Fuling and Xiaodonggua peeked at each other, why does this sound sound wrong?He screamed so 'ecstasy', as if he was doing that kind of thing.

If Feng Lin knew that Meng Fuling thought he was ecstasy, he would have to kill him with his head, how could he be ecstasy?It's obviously miserable, isn't it?
Xiao Donggua knew martial arts in his previous life, so now he has good hearing, but he can tell what he is doing from Feng Lin's voice.

But this little guy was afraid that the world would not be chaotic, so he deliberately said: "Mother, Hulu and Fenglin shouldn't be here like this or like that?"

Meng Fuling believed that Qi Xuan had no hobbies in that area, but Feng Lin's words were too easy to make people fantasize.

She pushed the door hard, only to feel that the door was a bit heavy, as if the people inside deliberately blocked the door with something.

After thinking so, Meng Fuling really felt that something was wrong, and as she pushed open the door, there was a muffled sound of her body falling to the ground, and a scream.

"Mother, there is someone behind the door." Xiao Donggua poked her head out from behind Meng Fuling, and looked at Feng Lin lying on the ground with some sympathy.

Well?Meng Fuling was also a little dazed. It turned out that things were not what she thought. Judging from Feng Lin's prone posture and direction, he was standing on his head behind the door just now.

As a result, she slammed the door open, and the wind was too late to guard against, and she fell to the ground.

"What were you doing just now?" Meng Fuling asked Qi Xuan who was sitting on the bed.

In fact, seeing the apple beside Feng Lin and the flying knife in Qi Xuan's hand, Meng Fuling already guessed a thing or two.It's just that she didn't expect Qi Xuan to play this kind of game.

Being caught by Meng Fuling, Qi Xuan felt a little embarrassed, "No, nothing."

Feng Lin stood on his head for quite a while, and was frightened half to death by Qi Xuan. This time, he fell so badly, he subconsciously replied: "Yes, yes!"

"Fenglin, are you sure?" Qi Xuan asked with a smile.

In Feng Lin's eyes, Qi Xuan's smile seemed malicious, he hurriedly shook his head, pretending to be confused, "Did I say anything just now?"

joke!If he didn't answer according to Qi Xuan's intention, Qi Xuan would have to use him to practice flying knives every day.

After all, it was all his own mouth. A few days ago, he joked that there was a way to exercise his legs, and the effect was good. Who would have thought that he would use it on him today.

Qi Xuan originally asked him to rush into the palace ahead of Meng Fuling and Xiao Donggua, to give the emperor medicine and temporarily control the emperor, so that when the emperor saw Xiao Donggua, he would neither embarrass Xiao Donggua nor obey Xiao Donggua's wishes.

But after Fenglin entered the palace, he didn't have a chance to get close to the emperor. For one thing, he didn't have enough time.

Second, after the emperor was controlled by Nangong Jue's medicine, he was very vigilant and guarded so much that it was not easy to get close to him.

Helpless, Feng Lin could only fail and return. To punish him, Qi Xuan used him to practice flying knives.

That is to say, Feng Lin should stand on his head, with an apple between his upturned feet, and Qi Xuan puts the flying knife between his feet, and shoots the flying knife with his feet. The target is naturally the apple.

Because it was the first time Qi Xuan shot a throwing knife with his foot, Feng Lin screamed so badly, which was actually exaggerated.

Meng Fuling looked at the two with a smile, "It seems that Xiaodonggua and I came at a bad time, and it seems to have disturbed you."

"How come? I waited for a long time for you not to return, so I practiced flying knives with Fenglin to pass the time." Qi Xuan laughed.

It was just an excuse to say that he was punishing Fenglin, but in fact he was unable to accompany Meng Fuling and Xiaodonggua into the palace, and the more he thought about it, the more worried he became, and was too irritable.

However, he secretly rejoiced that when Meng Fuling pushed the door, he didn't have time to shoot the throwing knife, so he didn't shoot her.

Furthermore, Qi Xuan's reaction was also quick, and when Meng Fuling's attention fell on Feng Lin, he promptly took the flying knife back to his hand.

In short, Qi Xuan doesn't want to let Meng Fuling know that his feet can move and walk now, he still wants to surprise her.

However, Qi Xuan thought it was good that Meng Fuling hadn't seen it, but he didn't know that when he took the flying knife from between his feet to his hand, the sharp-eyed little winter melon saw it.

"Ma'am, I have something else to do, so I'm leaving first." Feng Lin was too embarrassed, got up from the ground, and fled in a hurry.

"Fu Ling, what does the emperor say?" Qi Xuan coughed a few times and quickly changed the subject.

Meng Fuling asked Xiao Donggua to talk, while she poured a cup of tea and handed it to Qi Xuan.

Qi Xuan took the teacup and took a sip. After hearing this, Fang frowned and said, "In that case, you all go to the island to look for it."

Yue Shaoqing didn't like power, and the Xue family couldn't let go of Meng Fuling, and didn't want to be too far away from Meng Fuling, so they planned to let go of everything in Beijing and move to the island so that the family could be together.

What Qi Xuan meant was that the houses on the island were almost built. Meng Fuling and Xiao Donggua went to the island to find half of the Weilong Ling that was taken away by Nangong Jue.Yue Shaoqing and Xue Shi can take this opportunity to move to the island first, and take care of Meng Fuling's mother and son along the way.

"Can you rest assured?" Meng Fuling cut off Qi Xuan's chest with his hands.

"Once you leave, I will be left alone in the capital city. You should be worried." Qi Xuan put down his teacup, held Meng Fuling's hand, and said half-jokingly.

"Why are you alone, the guards are not human, and Feng Lin is not human?" Meng Fuling laughed.

She was also a little unhappy, the emperor intentionally kept Qi Xuan behind, saying that she and Xiaodonggua were only allowed to leave Beijing to look for Wei Longling, it was obvious that he was detaining Qi Xuan, but Qi Xuan's legs were not good enough, so he was really not suitable for a long journey .

"If you're not here, no matter how many people are there, it will be boring." Qi Xuan said seriously.

What he said had changed in the ears of Meng Fuling and Xiaodonggua.

Especially Xiaodonggua, he deliberately scraped his face with his fingers, "Hulu, are you ashamed? I'm still here, so I have the nerve to say such nasty things?"

"You fake kid, go away." Qi Xuan cursed with a smile.

When he looked at Meng Fuling again, the smile on his face faded, "If Lord Yuehou and Mother want to leave Beijing with you, the emperor will definitely think about it, and we have to discuss this matter with them."

"That's natural. However, although my father is Lord Marquis, he has no real job. If the queen mother is to help, the emperor probably won't obstruct it. I'm only worried about you. After all, your legs are inconvenient." Meng Fuling said without pretense Speaking of worrying about Qi Xuan, his face showed concern.

"Your words are enough." Qi Xuan held Meng Fuling's hand tightly and looked at her affectionately.

Little Winter Melon rubbed her nose, this time she didn't say anything unsightly, and went out consciously to send people to Yueyang Hou's Mansion to call Yue Shaoqing and Xue Shi to discuss the matter of leaving Beijing.

It didn't take long for Yue Shaoqing and the others to rush over. After some discussion, they all agreed.

In fact, the city of Kyoto was too far away from the island, and they were worried about letting Meng Fuling's mother and son go on the road.

******
Because Yue Shaoqing was the emperor's uncle and never cared about government affairs, the emperor felt that he was not a threat, so he easily agreed to let his family move out of the capital city.

Only the Empress Dowager tried every means to keep him, and was very reluctant to let go of Yue Shaoqing, but Yue Shaoqing's intention to go was already decided, and the Empress Dowager could not force him to keep him, so she somewhat blamed Xue Shi.

After Meng Fuling took care of everything, before leaving, she spent a warm night with Qi Xuan.The next day, because of Qi Xuan's legs, he was not allowed to see him off.

Although the emperor gave two months, it sounds like a lot, but it is actually very rushed.

You know, it takes more than a month just to go back and forth.In other words, she and Xiaodonggua had only been looking for Weilong Ling for about ten days.

They can only hope that Nangong Jue will find Wei Longling with him and find his body.

When they arrived at the small island, it was early winter, and the weather on the island was colder than that on the land.

At this time, the house was almost built according to the drawings drawn by Meng Fuling.

Upon landing, the first thing you see is a large villa. On both sides and behind the main villa are independent, slightly smaller villas of the same style, all of which are modern.

Looking from a distance, there is a huge fountain in front of the main villa, reflecting the blue sky and white clouds. Even if it is not completed, it still has a sense of beauty.

Everyone stared at the fountain, curious to see the stones rolling continuously and then splashing water.

"Fuling, what is that? How can it spray water?" Xue Shi pulled Meng Fuling and pointed to the fountain, both curious and nervous.

"That's a fountain." Meng Fuling smiled.

When she was drawing the blueprint, she suddenly thought of adding a fountain. For this reason, she studied for a long time.

"Mother, why is this house so strange?" Xiao Donggua asked in surprise.

If he hadn't been pulled by Meng Fuling, he would have rushed over to study it carefully. Only at this time, he didn't have to pretend, he was really like a child.

"What's so strange? It's obviously very unique." Meng Fuling asked people to carry the luggage off the boat, and at the same time pulled the little wax gourd inside.

"It's really unique, it's the only one I've seen in my life." Yue Shaoqing praised it repeatedly.

While talking, Steward Lu and Lu Zhao came up with a group of stewards.

When Steward Lu and his son received the news that Meng Fuling and the others were coming, they rushed to build a villa for them to live in temporarily. The villa has all the furniture and daily necessities.

"Ma'am, you've worked hard all the way." Steward Lu was very happy to see Meng Fuling and the others.

Little Winter Melon even called out Grandpa Lu sweetly, avoided Steward Lu's severed hand, and went to hold his other hand. He was very well-behaved, and with a few words, he coaxed Steward Lu from ear to ear.

Meng Fuling secretly thought it was funny, Xiaodonggua played the role of an innocent child very well, if she didn't know his identity, she wouldn't be able to see any flaws.

She asked Wu Wu to arrange for someone to put the luggage, so she called Steward Lu aside, "Housekeeper Lu, where is the corpse that you asked to dispose of buried? Is it still there?"

Steward Lu was teasing Little Winter Melon, but when he heard Meng Fuling's question, he looked puzzled, "Ma'am, you came early, could it be because of that corpse?"

Meng Fuling nodded. The reason why she came here to inquire about Nangong Jue's corpse was because it had been so long and she didn't know if the corpse was still there or how rotten it was. drag on.

Steward Lu thought for a while, then said: "At that time, the general told me that he could dispose of the corpse at will. Once I arrive on this island, I will hand it over to the people below. Wait a moment, and I will ask."

"Okay." Meng Fuling was also a little distressed when she heard this. Who would have thought that there would be a day when she would see Nangong Jue's body again?
Steward Lu was the first group to arrive on the island. At that time, Qi Xuan and Meng Fuling were still on their way back to the Great Chu Kingdom, so they first sent a letter asking Steward Lu to bring people to the island to dig a cave, carry them, and place them in the cave. of gold.

After all, with such an important matter, Qi Xuan felt that it would be more appropriate to leave it to Butler Lu.Qi Xuan explained in the letter that Nangong Jue's body can be disposed of at will.

After Qi Xuan reported it to the court, the gold in the cave was also transferred to other places. Therefore, the only people who came into contact with Nangong Jue's body were Steward Lu and the people he brought with him.

But Steward Lu and the others stayed on the island, waiting for the artisans selected by Meng Fuling and Qi Xuan to bring the blueprints as supervisors.

After a while, Steward Lu came back with a look of embarrassment on his face. After hesitating for a moment, he said, "Madam, the body was thrown into the sea by the guards."

He went to ask who had disposed of the corpses when the collapsed cave was dug up.

As a result, when the guards heard the instructions from their superiors, they thought that Nangong Jue was an enemy of Qi Xuan. When they were digging a cave, they saw the corpse and threw it into the sea.

"Which guard threw it? Call me over here!" Meng Fuling felt a faint pain in her brain, and her expression became ugly.

Isn't it?All the corpses were thrown into the sea, let alone looking for Wei Longling, what should I do?

"Ma'am, wait, I'll call right away." Seeing Meng Fuling's ugly face, Steward Lu guessed that the corpse must be very important, so he also became nervous, and rushed to pass the news to the guards who had touched the corpse.
