Vol 2 Chapter 97: A disaster

After being scolded by his father, Wan Li curled his lips, calmly arrived at the dinner table, took a candied date and threw it into his mouth:
"Aren't you talking to everyone about the emperor's youthfulness? I have known the secret of how a deposed prince was later enthroned and inherited the general rule!"
"you……"
Wanzong was speechless, and he spoke for a while, standing up with his eyebrows and angering his son again. +++All Tanmei novels: www.sto123.cc网o
Wan Li looked disdainful and raised both hands to make a "stop" gesture.
"Father, when my son listened a lot outside, I realized that you have just argued with your seniors for a long time, and what you are discussing is still off topic..."
"Ignorance of karma, what do you know--"
Wan Zong was of course annoyed by his son in public, blowing his beard and staring at Wan Li, angrily.
Wan Li didn't care about him, picked up an empty wine glass and drank it all, and said:
"My son's eyes and ears in Beijing brought back some news. Dongchang was casting nets around recently. On the surface, he was the real culprit in arresting the imperial mannequin, but he secretly arrested Shen Kun, Sun Yuan and Ding Qiwei."
The guests were in an uproar.
The three were in jail, and they all thought of Zhong Siyou, who died in the Dongchang Zhao prison two years ago unexplainably.
The secret of Emperor Xiao’s ascension to the throne is inextricably linked to the extermination of Baishuiguan and the Zheng family. Those who were sent to prison by Dongchang were precisely the informed participants of the two events!
Wan Zong concentrated his eyes with a deep voice, and the motion of touching Meiran with his fingers suddenly stopped.
The clues Mandai brought were simply too timely and too useful. Suddenly, Wan Zong had to change his attitude towards his son.
At this time, the East Factory took people, but those few people were taken. Could it be the admiral of the East Factory...
Shang Shu Yang Kang left the seat, leaned close to the King of God, and said in a low voice:
"Guo Zhang, Dongchang has nothing to do with it, we have to guard against it. Wango wants to come to Long Live to live in a high position, and he believes in Dongchang, I may not know that Leng Qingtang is so mischievous. In the opinion of the next official, let's look for opportunities to Long live Lord remind me?"
Wan Zong narrowed his eyes, and a pair of saggy eye bags immediately trembled twice.
After thinking about it, he turned his head and ordered Manli:
"Li'er, for my father’s mansion, there is a good myrtle tree. Tomorrow you will find a craftsman to carve it into a peach wood sword. When you enter the palace to offer to the holy priest, you can take the opportunity to explore the holy master’s tone and listen to the eunuch’s presence. What the Lord said in his ear."
Wan Li furrowed his brows and looked reluctantly:
"You can ask your eldest sister to do this. Why do you want me to go to the palace to see the emperor?"
Wan Zong snorted, and said with a deep face:
"The empress didn't know the past, and she rushed her into the water and turned her face on the emperor. Wouldn't it be a waste of her many years of hard work in the harem?
Go, if you are aware of improper words, you will always give you some face because of your status as the uncle of the country. "
Wan Li shook his head coldly, "tsk tsk" between his teeth:
"So, the boy will plan tomorrow."

In mid-July, the air is sticky and sultry. Occasionally there is a thunderstorm, and the wet water vapor afterwards still cannot bring people any coolness.
These days, the Chuxiu Palace is particularly lively.
The weather became more and more sultry after the Girls' Festival, and the concubines could not enjoy the flowers in the garden with the sun over their heads, so they came to visit each other without incident.
During the chat, they talked about the ice "Sushan" that Concubine Xu took when she went to her daughter's meeting that day.
Think of the capable people in Chuxiu Palace. At this time, Concubine Xu's concubine must hide in the cool pavilion of Zhenbing, playing fans by Gong E, tasting all kinds of novel ice products that no one else has tasted. o
The more the concubines talked, the more vigorous they were, and finally couldn't resist the seduce of the greedy insects. On a sultry afternoon, on the grounds of visiting the little prince, three to five groups ran to the Chuxiu Palace to greet Concubine Xu.
Concubine Xu generously offered refreshments to entertain the guests, fulfilling the wishes of the concubines and satisfying their addiction.
Gu Yunxi would be exhausted by this.
Concubines visited Chuxiu Palace in the afternoon for two consecutive days. Naturally, there are many hand-made ice products and tricks in the small kitchen.
After serving lunch every day, Gu Yunxi was sent to the small kitchen, and he kept on hand with the cooks until sunset.
After several attempts, Gu Yunxi has successfully improved "Sushan" and produced many novel shapes.
She mixed ghee and goat cheese with purple, green, and red flower juice, and then put them into pastry molds of different shapes to freeze them to make delicate crisp mountains with flowers, birds, fish and insects.
Then, she developed more delicious refreshing beverages, such as "Snow Soaked Kumquat Drink" which has the effect of nourishing yin and moisturizing the throat, and "Ginger Honey White Mash Herbal Tea" which mainly uses and glutinous rice to warm the stomach and invigorate the spleen. , "Shatang Bingxue Lengyuanzi".
She also thought of mashing well ice, or adding fruit puree, or drizzling with plum wine, coconut milk wine, and sugar.
These dazzling ice products are delicious and well presented, which makes the concubines feast on the ice products and the producers of the ice products.
Gu Yunxi quickly became famous, but her prestigious scenes laid a hidden danger for her doing things in Chuxiu Palace.
Many of the cooks in the small kitchen are of the age of half-aged milfs.
Gu Yunxi had his own experience, except that Lan Xin was truly helping her from the bottom of his heart and was willing to be under her command, the other women were all from Chef Liao.
They obeyed Gu Yunxi's words on the surface, and when her front feet walked away, they immediately put on an angry face and pierced Chef Liao’s head and chewed their tongue:
"I said, Auntie, you have to worry about it. I think that little hoof is very important to the mother, and after only a few days of work, I used the energy of a kitchen master!"
Chef Li glanced sideways at the door, his mouth turned high.
The aunt Wang who was choosing dishes immediately came to agree, the wrinkled old face was full of cramps:
"Yeah, yeah! Aunt Liao, don’t say we didn’t wake you up. Didn’t you tell Jinzhu that you were going to go back to your hometown in the first half of the year? Will the empress prepare some new people to replace you? Huh? You didn't realize that since last night, our wife wants her to come over for dinner."
Chef Liao shook off the water in her hands, grabbed the ruffled apron around her waist and wiped her fingers, with a gloomy smile:
"At that time, my mother-in-law was ill, and my man wanted me to take care of it. Now that her mother-in-law is dead, I have no worries about the future and naturally want to make more money in the palace. A shameless girl, why should she replace me!"
Aunt Wang still insists on her own opinion, and she is bluffing in the crowd:
"Make the plan early and save worry, we can all see that she worked the stove."
Chef Liao looked around and saw that Lan Xin was not beside her, beckoning mysteriously, beckoning everyone to come closer, her voice dropped to the lowest level and said to them:
"Don't worry, that little will be proud of her for a long time. Within a day, she will surely get out of our palace."

In the evening, Concubine Xu took a few palace people to Xiao Yexuan to help Yu Zhaoyi copy the scriptures.
After a busy day, Gu Yunxi went into the penthouse to rest. He heard a noise outside the courtyard, as if many people had entered.
"Oh, what wind blows you Liu Bingbi to our palace of Chuxiu?"
In the Outer Court separated by a wall, the dignified clerk came out of the hall to greet him, and the greeting voice was soft and gentle. Without seeing people just listening to the sound, people can sketch out a flattering face out of thin air.
The other voice is also sharp, but the tone is solemn and cold:
"Daddy Yan has always been good? Today, our family was really in a hurry for official business. We never asked the concubine Xu to greet her. He asked Yan Gonggong to greet the empress and the prince on behalf of our family. For another thing, please bring the palace clerk Tu Muxue over immediately. ."
Gu Yunxi heard in the room talking about her outside, and his heart suddenly went up and down.
Soon, someone knocked on the door.
Gu Yunxi did not dare to delay, opened the door to look, but saw Yan Gui with a difficult expression on his face.
"The Superintendent of Li is here to look for you, go now."
Who knows that there was a theft in the palace on the night of July 7th, and the director of the ceremony is offering a reward for searching for clues to the suspicious person.
At the moment Liu Bingbi led someone into the Chuxiu Palace, and it was definitely not a good thing that the surnamed person wanted to see Tu Muxue!
Whether it was Gu Yunxi himself or Yan Gui, sweat was pinched in his hands at this moment.
Gu Yunxi knew in his heart that Dongchang was busy catching the masked man, and now it should have touched the line and found her.
It is a blessing, not a curse, but a curse that cannot be avoided. Should come, sooner or later will come
Clenched both fists and followed Yan Gui to the Outer Court of Chuxiu Palace, where Gu Yunxi and Liu Bingbi, the supervisor of the ceremony, met.
"The slave servant Tu Muxue, I have seen Master Bingbi."
In the face of the overwhelming ceremonial guard, Gu Yunxi suddenly bowed his head and worshipped in a proper manner.
Supervisor, isn't that... Governor Leng's Supervisor?
Suddenly her mood was inexplicable, and the Tao was endlessly excited, embarrassed, and miserable...like a mixture of sweet and sour and spicy in a five-flavored bottle, and the taste of each was indescribable for a while.
Surrounded by the sudden silence, a pair of cold and arrogant lights fell directly on top of Gu Yunxi's head. The old with bright white skin and thin lips, who was the head of the team, shook the dust with his throat, and shouted:
"Come on, take away!"
