Rebirth after waste

Chapter 70

Liu Shanggong comforted: "Your Majesty, don't be impatient, Mr. Xue always needs a little time. You have been waiting for more than a year, do you still care about waiting a few more days?"

Gu Yunxian smiled slightly, "Your Excellency said so."

Liu Shanggong thought about it, but became suspicious again, "However, it has been so long since the Empress Dowager's death, if we go to investigate now, will the evidence have been destroyed?"

Gu Yunxian shook his head, "What I'm looking for is not the kind of obvious evidence, but the clues hidden under the surface." Looking at Liu Shanggong, "Shortly after the Queen Mother passed away, didn't you, my lord, check the Queen Mother carefully? If there is a problem, you will find it out at that time. You didn't find it, so it can be seen that the other party's method is extremely hidden, and it is difficult for ordinary people to detect." After a pause, "But I always believe that as long as she does it, it will not be detected. It may be flawless. Find someone who is proficient in medical skills to investigate carefully, and you will definitely find the clue."

Liu Shanggong was thoughtful.

Gu Yunxian sighed softly, "Actually, I also want to let Xue Changsong take action earlier, but it's a big matter, so I have to be extremely cautious. I couldn't trust him before, and I didn't dare to entrust such a big matter rashly, so I delayed it." It's now." After thinking about it, "but the timing is very suitable."

"Oh?"

"Jing Fushu has been out of favor for a long time, and people around her are naturally fluctuating. Even Dingmei has started to find a way out for herself, let alone others?" Gu Yunxian said, "And when I talked to her a few days ago, I was very excited. I think she will have a big temper after she goes back." The tone hinted, "A backer who has lost power and is so irritable and difficult to serve will make the people around him very uneasy."

She spoke calmly, but Liu Shanggong would never think that this is all the experience she got from her own experience.

She was like this in her previous life. She lost her composure because she loved too stupidly. After being provoked by others, she would like to vent her anger, which made everyone around her tremble with fear.In the end, she would be calculated like that, and I'm afraid it has something to do with it.

The servants are afraid that you will resist you, so naturally they will not serve you wholeheartedly.

"When I was talking to Xue Changsong that day, in order to prevent him from misunderstood that I was targeting someone, I didn't express my doubts about Jing Fushu." Gu Yunxian said, "Please trouble me to find a way to hide Xue Changsong without showing any traces." Guiding his suspicion towards Mr. Jing, this should greatly reduce the detours he takes."

"Your servant understands." Liu Shanggong said.

The sound of small footsteps came from outside, and finally stopped at the entrance of the hall.Gu Yunxian heard A Ci's probing voice, "Miss, it's time for dinner."

Since Aci was scolded by her that day, she has improved a lot, and she has become much more secure in her speech and actions.Gu Yunxian felt comforted in her heart, feeling that she had finally lived up to her expectations.

"Okay. Bring it up."

The food table was filled with a small half of the food table. Every dish was Gu Yunxian's favorite, and it was cooked exquisitely. However, her eyes ignored those things and fell directly on the rice bowl in front of her.

"'Green Jing Rice'? Why are you making this all of a sudden?"

The so-called Qingjing rice is a kind of rice steamed with black rice soaked in the juice of Nanzhu leaves. Its color is like green, so it is called Qingjing rice. Some people call it black rice.

It is said that eating this meal for a long time can benefit essence, strengthen muscles and bones, and prolong life.

However, although it has many benefits, Gu Yunxian always feels that its taste is a bit strange, and he has never liked it very much.

Hanzhangdian's palm dishes naturally knew her taste, so how could they suddenly bring this out again?

"Miss, do you want to try?" A Ci looked at her tentatively.

Gu Yunxian frowned slightly, and suddenly understood, "You made all these things?"

"That's right." A Ci laughed, "The servant wanted to cook something for the young lady, so she had to take over the job of handling the food, and she complained a lot!"

"Really, you have a lot of things to do yourself, why bother to cook for me?" Gu Yunxian said, "Forget it, since you did it, I will give you face!"

Aci smiled happily.

Gu Yunxian picked up a few grains of rice and put them into her mouth. She was surprised to find that the smell that disliked her was much less, and the fragrance of the tree sap was fully revealed.

"This meal seems a little different." She said, "How do you cook it?"

"It's nothing, the maidservant added some other seasonings to neutralize the taste." Ah Ci said.

"It's very thoughtful." Gu Yunxian smiled, "I really can't see it, so you, A Ci, have a bright future in cooking."

Cai Jia couldn't help laughing, Gu Yunxian raised his eyebrows, "What are you laughing at?"

Cai Jia smiled and said, "Your Majesty, you must not guess who came up with this idea!"

"Who?"

"It's Your Majesty and Cui Lang!"

Gu Yunxian was completely stunned.

Seeing Gu Yunxian's reaction, Caijia's smile grew stronger, and even Caizhi, who had always been silent, couldn't help but raise the corners of her lips slightly.

"Isn't Cui Lang a member of Zhongshushe now? Sitting in this position, he has been on duty in Zhongshu province for a long time every day. His Majesty probably saw that he played the piano really well that night, and he liked him very much. Invite him to meet him. The two of them occasionally chat about business matters, occasionally talk about poetry and painting, not like monarchs and ministers, but like close friends." Cai Jia said, "It's the same today. Your Majesty summoned Cui Lang to the Taizheng Palace to accompany him. , forgot the time while talking, and it was already lunch time, so His Majesty asked Cui Lang to eat with him. Madam, you also know that courtiers can only respect the food given by the king, but cannot comment. But Cui Lang said Said that he really wanted to eat green rice today, since His Majesty gave food, let him satisfy his wish. His request was blunt, and His Majesty was not offended, so he smiled and asked the cook to prepare it. Then..."

When Cai Jia said this, her eyes fell on Gu Yunxian.

Gu Yunxian had an intuition that the latter part had something to do with him, but he didn't know what it was, so he was a little anxious, "Then what? Tell me."

"Then... His Majesty mentioned you, Your Majesty."

Gu Yunxian's eyes widened.

"Your Majesty told Cui Lang that he knew that there was a person who didn't like the taste of green rice, but Ru Jing preferred this food. Cui Lang immediately asked for details when he heard that." Cai Jia said, "Then, the two of you discussed this question. After discussing for a long time, I finally simply passed Bai Shangshi to him, asking him to come up with a solution..."

"So, in the end they really found a way?" Gu Yunxian murmured.

Cai Jia looked at her who was stunned, and said sympathetically, "Yes."

Gu Yunxian stared blankly at the small white porcelain bowl in front of him.The rice grains contained in it are tightly glued together, black as jade, but who would have thought that the hard work of a majestic king and a top talent is mixed in it?

Is there something wrong with these two?
Don't they know that the gentleman is far away from the kitchen?It's fine for the monarch and his ministers to talk about poetry and painting together, but what is it like to discuss recipes?

What are they trying to do?

"Your Majesty sent someone to tell the master of Hanzhang Palace the method they came up with, and Ah Ci came here to do it on a whim." Cai Jia said, "Uh, empress... Your Majesty still has something to give you. "Take out a piece of paper sprinkled with gold and hand it to her.

Gu Yunxian took it, but saw that it was written in the emperor's handsome and elegant handwriting: "Take all the troubles to relieve Qing's worries."But please smile, don't disappoint me.

What does it mean to "take all the troubles to relieve your worries"!She has no obsession with this meal, it doesn't matter whether she eats it or not, who needs him to think of a way!
Once you come out like this, Liugong will definitely know everything without waiting for the meal to finish.

It's enough to make such a high profile!
Tong Yunxuan originally thought that after Cui Shuo was promoted, she would be very happy, but when the real thing happened, she realized that there was a gap between ideal and reality.

In her conception, Cui Shuo would become happier after becoming a high official, and would no longer be silent all day long.Perhaps under the joy of success and fame, he will no longer miss his ex-wife as before, and will start to notice the people who have been with him all the time.

Even if none of these can be achieved, at least at least, she can still see him and talk to him every day.

It was only later that she realized how wrong she was.

Cui Shuo has become more and more busy since becoming a member of Zhongshushe.In addition to being on duty every day, he is often called by the emperor to accompany him. Sometimes he needs to take shifts at night, and he can't even come back to sleep.

The time she could see him was getting less and less, and the words she talked to him were also getting less and less. There were times when he didn't even see him face to face for two or three days!
Even so, when Cui Shuo mentioned that he was going to move out, she couldn't help screaming, "What? You want to move out? Why!"

"Yunxuan, sit down." Tong Yi said slowly.

It was only then that Tong Yunxuan realized that she was so excited that she jumped off the mat directly.

She forced herself to sit down and repeat the question, "Why did you move?"

Cui Shuo didn't say anything, but Tong Yi answered instead, "Because Liulang's status is different now, he is an official of the fifth rank, and needs to deal with his colleagues on a daily basis, and it will be a lot of inconvenience to live in our house."

His tone was calm, and when he mentioned "Liulang's status is different", he didn't feel any dissatisfaction or jealousy at all, he was just stating a fact.

When Tong Yunxuan heard the reason, her nose couldn't help sour, "What... what is this? Liulang, you look down on our brothers and sisters when you are developed, right! You are going to stay away from us, right? !"

"Yunxuan, what nonsense are you talking about?" Tong Yi couldn't help getting angry.

Tong Yunxuan knew that she had said the wrong thing in extreme panic, and opened her mouth to apologize, but the secret worry in her heart also surfaced along with these words.

Sadly, she realized that she had already known.Understand that she and Cui Shuo are not suitable.Whether it's him who was frustrated in the past, or him who has a bright future now, she is not good enough for her!
"I'm not feeling well, so I'm going to bed first." After saying this, she covered her face and ran out of the main hall, back to her room.

Tong Yi looked at his younger sister's back and sighed helplessly, "You silly girl, it's better to give up sooner."

Cui Shuo felt a little guilty, "Blame me. If it wasn't for me, Yunxuan wouldn't be like this..."

"I can't blame you." Tong Yidao, "May I ask the women in this world, who can resist the charm of your Cui Lang? Yunxuan is just one of them. If I have to blame, it is because I am too careless as an older brother. I thought She is still a little girl, she doesn't understand those things, how can she know that today's little girls are too early to understand..."

Cui Shuo smiled wryly.

"But it doesn't matter. When she grows up and meets more people, she will understand." Tong Yidao, "After you move away, it will not be so convenient for her to see you. After a long time, her relationship will fade Some."

Cui Shuo couldn't help shaking his head and said with a smile, "It seems that it is indeed a wise move for me to move out." He looked suspiciously at his friend, "Actually, you have hated me for a long time, right?"

"No!" Tong Yi nodded seriously.
