Chapter 487 The storm rises
The disfigured face and the gleaming kitchen knife undoubtedly had a huge impact on Tao Hong.
People are ugly like this, and even ate terrible bugs, maybe they are not afraid of death?
No, she should be more polite.
The original arrogance is no longer needed, and Tao Hong Zhiqu puts on a gentle tone: "Xiu Gu, put down the kitchen knife first."
Xiuyue glanced at the kitchen knife, casually threw it on the chopping board, and said calmly, "Sister Taohong, tell me."
Tao Hong squeezed her fist quietly, and said with a dry smile, "Gu Xiu still remembers the cup of plum juice she drank when she entered the palace last time?"
Xiuyue nodded.
Tao Hong straightened her back as much as she could, and took half a step back: "Your abdominal pain is indeed related to that."
Before Xiuyue could react, Taohong hurriedly handed over a small porcelain bottle: "Don't worry, the pills in this porcelain bottle are for restraining abdominal pain. There are three pills in total. Taking one pill every month can relieve the pain of abdominal pain..."
After Tao Hong finished speaking, Xiuyue's already frightening face was covered with a shadow, but with the support of the kitchen knife lying quietly in her hand, it made people's heart jump even more.
"I don't understand what your empress means." Xiuyue frowned.
Tao Hong forced a smile: "Our lady's intention is very simple, just don't give that medicinal recipe to others again, Miss Xiu."
"So it's for this." Xiuyue's tone was so light that no emotion could be heard.
Taohong stared closely at her eyes: "Then do you agree?"
Xiuyue held her lips and smiled: "At the beginning, I gave my mother that medicinal prescription because I wanted something. Now that I have my wish, why would I ask for trouble and then give the prescription to someone else? The imperial concubine really has too much to worry about."
Tao Hong raised her lips in satisfaction: "It's good that Gu Xiu can think so. Then I won't bother you to cook, and the empress is still waiting for me to bring the beggar chicken back to the palace to return to life."
Xiuyue nodded slightly, and silently picked up the kitchen knife at hand.
Tao Hong hesitated, and then asked the following words: "Xiu Gu has a medicinal recipe, does Luo Miss know?"
Xiuyue's expression didn't change at all, and her tone was calm: "How can I let someone who has nothing to do with me know about such an important matter?"
Everything that needs to be explained has been explained, Tao Hong finally breathed a sigh of relief, and hurried out.
Bringing the beggar chicken back to Yuhua Palace, Tao Hong hurriedly returned to Concubine Xiao Gui.
Concubine Xiao Gui, who was not yet confinement, looked extremely weak. Her face, which was originally as delicate as a lotus, became pale and haggard, as if she had aged several years suddenly.
"How is it?" Concubine Xiao Gui spoke, her voice full of exhaustion.
Not to mention the disappointment of not giving birth to a prince, the shadow of her premature daughter dying at any time has been tormenting her sleepless nights.
Taohong hurriedly talked about the conversation with Xiuyue.
"It's good that she can be interesting." Concubine Xiao closed her eyes after hearing this sentence.
At this time, it is even more impossible to let others take the lead. I only hope that she can take care of her body early and have good news as soon as possible with the help of herbal diet.
Seeing that Concubine Xiao Gui seemed to be asleep, Tao Hong stepped aside gently.
Although the four flames of war have cast a shadow over the peaceful and prosperous capital, they happened far away after all, and people's lives seem to have not changed much.
There is also a wine shop that opened its door quietly, and the aroma of wine and meat wafted outside, often attracting passers-by to salivate and curse the black shop in their hearts.
It just opened today, and Zhao Shangshu brought Lin Teng in.
Luo Sheng, who was sitting by the counter, came over to say hello, and couldn't help but look at Lin Teng more.
I haven't seen him for a few days. I don't know if this Mr. Lin is too busy or what. The blue shadow at the moment is a little scary.
Sensing Luo Sheng's scrutiny, Lin Teng's cold face became a little hot.
Zhao Shangshu couldn't wait to sit down, and asked with a smile: "Miss Luo, have you launched any good dishes recently?"
"Fish head with sauce and pepper?" Zhao Shangshu's eyes lit up.
"It's a secret sauce, you can try it."
"Just the fish head with sauce and pepper!" Zhao Shangshu suddenly felt that it was worthless to eat new dishes, and his face changed slightly after he finished speaking.
Oops, forgot to ask the price.
Old Shangshu was beating drums in his heart, silently comforting himself: Don't be afraid, I haven't been here for so long, and my wallet is bulging.
Keer said thoughtfully at the side: "The fish head with sauce and pepper is thirty taels of silver."
Zhao Shangshu relaxed completely, and waved his hand: "One more plate of sauced duck tongue, one plate of stewed beef, and two pots of shochu."
As the food and drink came to the table, Zhao Shangshu talked about Lin Teng, who had dark circles under his eyes: "Lin Teng, there are endless things to do, and you can't ignore your health just to investigate the case. If your body collapses, you can do nothing." Gone."
Lin Teng squeezed his wine glass and smiled wryly: "I understand what your lord said, but this case is different—"
As for the difference, Lin Teng swallowed silently when he met several gossip-flaming eyes.
Hong Dou murmured, "How can you say half of it?"
Isn't this curious to death.
Hongdou glared at Lin Teng dissatisfied, and glanced across the window inadvertently, and couldn't help being taken aback.
The girl standing outside looks familiar.
After a careful look, Hongdou recognized it: it was the second girl from Wang Shaoqing's residence.
Oh, you can’t call Wang Shaoqing’s mansion now. I heard from Kouer that Wang Shaoqing was dismissed because of the influence of Pingnan’s mansion.
Miss Wang Er seemed to be aware of being seen by Hongdou, so she raised her foot and walked towards the door of the restaurant, and walked into the lobby after a while.
Hongdou asked Miss Wang to sit down and asked, "What do you eat, guest officer?"
Miss Wang Er seemed not in a high mood, and said softly, "A bowl of Yangchun noodles, and a serving of... coir raincoat cucumber."
It was the first time she and her sister came to this restaurant, and this was what they ate.
"Sorry, there are no coir raincoat cucumbers for sale yet."
"No?" The second girl Wang twitched her eyelashes slightly, bit her lips and said, "Then let's have a bowl of Yangchun noodles."
It didn't take long for the Yangchun noodles to be served on the table. The second girl Wang thanked her and picked up the noodles with chopsticks and ate them slowly.
Luo Sheng's eyes flickered slightly.
Miss Wang Er seemed very sad, tears fell into Yangchun noodles.
Could it be that something happened?
Second Miss Wang came to the restaurant several times to eat, and each time she came with Miss Wang. Thinking about coming here alone now, Luo Sheng felt that it was not good.
After pondering for a while, she got up and walked towards Miss Wang Er.
And at this moment, Miss Wang Er suddenly put down her chopsticks and stood up.
Luo Sheng couldn't help but stop to see what the second girl Wang was going to do.
Miss Wang Er seemed to have not noticed Luo Sheng at all, and walked quickly to Lin Teng to bless her body: "Excuse me, is this Master Lin?"
The neglected Zhao Shangshu calmly took the fish with his chopsticks.
The fish is soaked in the taste of the secret sauce and pepper, tender and delicious, not to mention delicious.
Lin Teng, this silly kid, has been busy for a long time, and he can't stand it anymore. Even if he can't pay half the price, he gritted his teeth and brought this kid here for a meal.
"I am. I don't know what's the matter with the girl?"
