prosperous power pet

Chapter 521
Due to the different eating habits of different countries, each courtyard in the Huitong Hall has its own small kitchen.The small kitchen of Shengjing Courtyard is not too far from Yin Qingrong's courtyard, and it is only a cup of tea away.

Dong Xue left Yin Qingrong's yard and headed for the small kitchen with ease.

Song Qinghuan lightly landed on the ground, and under the cover of the night, she followed behind her without anyone noticing.

After walking for a while, Song Qinghuan saw that there was a small kitchen in front of him. Song Qinghuan looked around and saw that there was no one around, so he jumped up and stood on the roof closest to the small kitchen. Staring at Dongxue's actions.

Dongxue quickly walked to the small kitchen, raised the felt curtain and walked in.

Song Qinghuan jumped onto the beam of the kitchen, and then carefully lifted off a roof tile, and suddenly a bright light leaked from the room.

She bent down and looked inside through the gap between the roof tiles.

This time, there were no cooks among the people accompanying the Liangguo mission, so the people in the kitchen here were arranged by the Ministry of Rites. To show the sincerity of the host, Zhou Zhen also specially recruited some people who could cook Liangguo food.

Because it was almost time for dinner, the kitchen was full of excitement.The cook was holding the spoon in front of the stove, and the maids and maids who were helping him walked through it, but they were also orderly.

Seeing Dongxue coming in, the cook seemed to know her, and hastily put down the spatula to meet her, "Oh, Miss Dongxue, what wind brought you here."

Dongxue is the eldest maid beside Yin Qingrong, and the others naturally respect her very much.As soon as she came, the others were in a hurry.

A maid went to look at Dongxue patronizingly, tripped over a stool, staggered, and threw the soup bowl in her hand at the maid in blue in front of her.

Fortunately, the maid in Tsing Yi had quick eyes and quick hands, dodged it, reached out to fish it out, and held the soup bowl firmly in her hand, only a little soup splashed out, so as not to burn her skin.

The maid who caused the trouble turned pale, apologized again and again, and hurriedly took the handkerchief to wipe her clothes.

The cook took a look, his eyes were slightly cold, but he didn't want to scold others in front of Dongxue, so he still looked at Dongxue with a smile on his face.

Dong Xue's eyes swept away, and she quickly moved away, her eyes fell on the cook's face, her expression was indifferent, without any smile, "Changdi Ji is going to pass on the meal, are you ready for dinner?"

The cook nodded again and again, "It's almost done, there are two last dishes left, do you need to send someone to take them first?"

Dongxue said "Mmm", and swept her eyes, "Give it up."

Saying that, he stopped looking at the cook and went straight out of the kitchen.

Song Qinghuan didn't leave immediately, but watched for a while, and saw that the cook hurriedly pointed to a few maids, served the prepared dishes, and followed Dongxue out of the kitchen.

Unexpectedly, Dong Xue did not leave on her own, but waited at the door. Seeing the maids filing out, she glanced at them and said coldly, "Let's go."

As he spoke, he led a few people to Yin Qingrong's courtyard.

The north wind was rustling, and there was a refreshing coolness in the air, which made people's faces a little painful.

Song Qinghuan prostrated on the roof and looked at their backs. He was about to leave, but suddenly thought of something. After the few people had gone a little further, he put the roof tiles back where they were, jumped off the roof, and followed them quietly with a wink. go up.

These people were silent all the way.

She watched the maid serving the dishes enter Yin Qingrong's room from a distance, and quickly opened the curtain and walked out. The moment the curtain was opened, she could see Yin Qingrong was already sitting at the table. The maid waited on her.

Song Qinghuan flashed into the shadows, watching the maids who delivered the food return to the kitchen along the way.

She waited for a while, and saw that the few people in the room were still silent, only the slight sound of bowls and spoons colliding, knowing that there was nothing to be detected today, she looked around vigilantly, and saw no one around, so she jumped up. The roof, jumped a few times, and the figure disappeared into the night.

At this time, Liuyue in the alley was anxiously waiting.

She walked uneasily in front of the carriage, frowning, and looked up at the roof from time to time.

Shen Xing was more calm than her, leaning on the car shaft with folded arms, looking at the anxious Liuyue ahead, he comforted in a deep voice, "Liuyue, don't worry, it's best if there is no news at this moment." news."

Liu Yue reluctantly took a deep breath, walked to her side and stood still, looked at Shen Xing worriedly, and gave a light "um".

Shen Xing knew that no matter how much she said now, she might not be able to listen to her, so she reluctantly stopped talking, and she was also praying for Song Qinghuan's safe return.

After waiting for a while, I heard a slight movement above my head.

The two looked up at the same time, their eyes swept away, and they saw Song Qinghuan's figure appearing on the roof in the hazy night, and they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Song Qinghuan jumped and jumped down.

"Your Highness, are you alright?" Liu Yue hurriedly took two steps forward, looking up and down Song Qinghuan carefully.

Song Qinghuan shook her head, "I'm fine, no one has noticed me, so get in the car first."

Liuyue was busy, she raised the curtain and invited Song Qinghuan to get in the car, and she also followed.

After the two sat down firmly, Shen Xing raised his whip, and the carriage slowly drove out of the alley and headed towards the palace.

"What did your Highness find?" After driving a certain distance, seeing Song Qinghuan's breathing calmed down, Liu Yue looked at her and spoke, her eyes were a little eager.

Song Qinghuan looked at the swaying car curtain in front of him, his face was hidden under the warm halo of the night pearl, and it was a bit difficult to distinguish his expression.After a while, she said slowly, "I found something interesting, I'll ask Xuanying to check it later, maybe this will be a breakthrough."

As she said that, she seemed to be tired, leaning against the car wall and closing her eyes to rest her mind.

Although Liuyue didn't know much about it, she saw that Song Qinghuan didn't want to say any more, so she didn't ask any more questions. She suppressed the curiosity and confusion in her heart, shut her mouth, and stopped disturbing Song Qinghuan for a nap.

The carriage quickly drove back to the palace.

Back at Huaqing Palace, Shen Chuhan had already returned, his expression seemed to be a bit tense, seeing Song Qinghuan coming in, Fang Shu frowned, got up to greet him, "Ah Wan, where have you been?"

Seeing the worried expression on his face, Song Qing smiled happily, beckoned Liu Yue and Shen Xing down, kissed him on the cheek, and then said, "Sorry, I'm late."

Shen Chuhan took off the cloak on her shoulders for her, "I heard from the maids that you went to Wuyou Mansion in the morning, why did you come back at this time? The empress and concubine mother kept you for dinner?"

Song Qinghuan shook her head, and sat down at the table, "I only had lunch in Wuyou Mansion, but I slept too long, and it was already dusk when I woke up. After leaving Wuyou Mansion, I went to Huitong Hall. "

Shen Chuhan frowned, puzzled and said, "Ah Wan, what are you doing in the Huitong Hall?"

Song Qinghuan pulled him to sit down as well, poured himself a cup of tea and drank it, then Fang Xuxu said, "I want to check on the situation."

"Nonsense!" Shen Chuhan subconsciously reprimanded, but his tone did not dare to be too serious, and he frowned, "Su Rao acts in a strange way, what if you are hurt by her people?"

However, seeing Song Qinghuan looking at him with watery eyes and an aggrieved face, his heart softened, so he softened his tone, "I have already sent Yinwei to watch the Huitong Hall. If there is any movement, someone will report it immediately. In the future Don’t put yourself in danger again.”

"Understood." Song Qinghuan smiled sweetly, and responded kindly, "I just thought that there are hidden guards, and if something really happens, I can ask them for help."

Shen Chuhan glanced at her helplessly, knowing that since Song Qinghuan had agreed, he would not put himself in danger again in the future, so he put the matter aside and filled her cup with the teapot, then asked, "How? What did you find out?" Are you coming?"

"There are some things that I want Xuan Ying to check for me." As she spoke, she told Shen Chuhan what she had just noticed.

Shen Chuhan raised his eyebrows, as if he was a little surprised, "So, I really have to ask Xuanying to check it out."

*
Since that day when Shen Chuhan rejected the clause in the peace agreement about marrying Yin Qingrong as his concubine, he never summoned the delegation of the Liang Kingdom, and only let them live in peace in the Huitong Hall, waiting for the next order from the Emperor Liang.

However, for people like Song Qinghuan and Shen Chuhan who knew the inside story, they knew very well that what the Liangguo mission was waiting for was not Yin Zhan's order, but Su Rao's next plan.

Fortunately, Song Qinghuan gave Xuanying some clues about what happened, so she was a little relieved.

As far as the current situation is concerned, they are aware that Su Rao is in the dark, if they attack rashly, they will lose the opportunity.It's better to wait patiently, waiting for the day when Su Rao's fox tail is revealed.

Having figured this out, Song Qinghuan swept away the anxious and tense emotions of the previous days, and returned to her usual calm posture, eating and sleeping well every day, trying to spend time with Youyou and Ah Lin, and also when she was free. Went out of the palace to visit the Changdiji Mansion and Wuyou Mansion, and lived a very leisurely life.

After more than ten days like this, good news came from the front line.

It turned out that after Mu Bai led the army to repel the Yan State's attack, he pursued the victory and not only successfully captured the two cities of the Yan State, but also shot the Prince Ning Xiao, the commander of the Yan State in a battle.

Although he didn't hit the vital point, because the arrow was poisoned, although the military doctor of Yan State made a decisive decision and gouged out Ning Xiao's poisoned carrion, Ning Xiao fell into a coma due to the overbearing poison and was sent to Jian'an overnight for treatment.

The army of Yan State had no leader, so they had to guard the gate of the city.However, Zhao's army won successive victories, their morale soared, and they saw a tendency to conquer another city.

Under such circumstances, Lin'an sent a letter, and Emperor Yan took the initiative to ask for peace.

Mu Bai quickly sent someone to pass the news back.

Shen Chuhan was in a good mood after receiving the good news, and returned to Huaqing Palace early after discussing the matter with the ministers.

Song Qinghuan also got the news, so she wasn't surprised to see Shen Chuhan walking in with a smile on her face, she also smiled and stepped forward to take off the court clothes for him, "I heard that Emperor Yan asked for peace?"

Shen Chuhan nodded, with a rare ups and downs in his tone, "Mubai really didn't disappoint me!"

"Is Ashura going to agree to Yan's peace proposal, or not?" Song Qinghuan changed into his normal clothes for him, sat down at the table, raised his eyebrows playfully, and looked at him with his chin resting.

Shen Chuhan also sat down across from her, glanced at Song Qinghuan, and smiled a little unpredictable, "What do you think, Ah Wan?"

Song Qinghuan thought for a while, "I think, at this time, I can agree."

Shen Chuhan slightly hooked his lips, "Why?"

"The country of Liang is called Yihe, but in fact, no one knows what kind of plan Su Rao is planning. If we continue to fight with the country of Yan, maybe the country of Liang will take advantage of the emptiness and make another mess. It's better to solve it all at once. One side is good. Besides, if the battle lasts too long, it is the common people who will suffer.”

Shen Chuhan nodded in agreement, "That's exactly what I think. As the saying goes, don't chase after the poor. If the fight continues, the soldiers of the Yan State will be ruined, and they will lose the opportunity. Right now, let's deal with the Liang State first."

The two discussed for a while, and the matter of peace with Yan State was settled in this way.

Soon, news spread back to Tongcheng and Yan.

When Emperor Yan heard the news, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, while looking for a suitable minister to be a peace envoy to go to Zhao Kingdom, and at the same time personally wrote a letter to Mu Bai, asking for the antidote.

With Shen Chuhan's instruction, Mu Bai did not embarrass the envoy sent by Yan State, and gave him the antidote to take back.

However, the poison was inherently strong, and after dragging back and forth for so long, even if Ning Xiao could finally wake up, that right arm might never be able to hold a sword and bend a bow again.

Of course, this is a later story, let's not mention it for the time being.

On the other side, Shen Chuhan issued a Taoist decree before Yan's peace talks mission set out, announcing that Mubai would return to the capital.

So, after setting up the military affairs on the border, Mu Bai first led a team of soldiers and horses, and embarked on the journey back to Lindu.

After a tiring journey all the way, day and night, he finally rushed back to Lindu after half a month.
