"Um... I wonder if this young lady could continue to cook food from the Southern Barbarian Land for us over the next few days. To be honest, we haven't been used to the food here since we arrived. It wasn't until I tasted your cooking that I remembered the taste of home... If it's not too much trouble..."
Qing'er was halfway through her words when she felt more and more embarrassed. In her heart, this request was really too much. The other party had no relationship with her, so why would he be willing to cook food from his hometown for her?
"Of course, I'll be very happy if you don't mind my craftsmanship."
Su Mengyan said this to her with a smile, which was something Ling Qing'er had not expected.
"In that case, thank you very much, young lady..."
After the two people left, when they walked to the door, they remembered that they had sneaked in and were almost discovered.
"Your Highness, what should we do with the unconscious guard inside?"
"It's okay. When someone comes to report tomorrow, I'll just find an excuse to get away with it."
Situ Yao didn't care about these guards at all.
"Who's in there?"
Outside the door, a guard's voice came, and Situ Yao hurriedly picked up Su Mengyan and left.
The guard pushed open the door and found that there was no one inside, so he walked in with peace of mind.
"There's actually no one inside? Great! Now I can finally solve the problem that the imperial concubine asked me to do."
The guard took off his guard hat and the things around his waist.
"Why do these guards always carry so much stuff? They don't even think it's too heavy..."
After complaining for a while, the man walked towards Qing'er and the others with something unknown.
"Who are you?"
Brother Ming looked at this person warily.
"Everyone, don't be nervous. I'm with Concubine Bai. The Concubine asked me to tell you that your master's cold poison has recurred. If you dare to betray the Concubine, she will have your master killed in the next second."
This man stood there with an air of superiority, his eyes full of contempt for Qing'er and the others.
"You're talking nonsense! Our lord is clearly still here..."
Qing'er played a trick and did not tell the person in front of her where they were before.
"Where is your master? Oh, young lady, are you trying to tell me that your master is clearly still in the place where you were together before? Let me tell you, our Imperial Concubine has already brought your master to the palace. If you are sensible, you should think carefully about whether you should go to the interrogation in three days. If you are willing to eat what I brought you today, our Imperial Concubine promises to cure your master of the cold poison."
After hearing what the man standing in front of them said, Qing'er and the others began to hesitate. They were obviously happy that they had finally found an antidote to detoxify their lord in the previous second, but in the next second they had to face this life-and-death decision.
"How is it? What do you think? We don't have that much time to wait with you."
After the man said this, he quickly covered his mouth. Only then did Ming Ge notice that this man was actually a eunuch.
"Noble Concubine Bai sent a eunuch like this? This is really too much of a disrespect for us."
"What do you care if I'm a eunuch? I'm telling you right here, if you don't listen to the Imperial Concubine, don't even think about letting your master live! Humph!"
After the eunuch finished speaking, he shook his sleeves and left. To him, there was always a strange smell surrounding him in the cell. After all, those who worked for Concubine Bai were more or less arrogant.
Facing the food boxes in front of them, several people began to fall into deep thought.
Situ Yao and Su Mengyan returned to the East Palace. Su Mengyan was held in Situ Yao's arms all the way. When they arrived at the East Palace, her cheeks had begun to blush.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince... please put this servant down first..."
Su Mengyan spoke softly to Situ Yao, Situ Yao said "hmm", and then threw Su Mengyan to the ground.
"Ouch……"
I had just fallen in prison, and now I fell again in front of the prince. I don’t know what happened today. Is it destined that I will fall these two times today?
Su Mengyan complained secretly in her heart. When Situ Yao didn't notice her, she secretly rubbed the place where she had just bumped.
"Alright, alright, hurry up and get up. We've finally dealt with these assassins."
"Your Highness, regarding the interrogation in three days, do you have any plans?"
Su Mengyan wanted to hear what Situ Yao was going to do during the interrogation three days later. If she heard anything inappropriate, she could tell him in time.
"Anyway, I've already made an agreement with those people. In three days, they'll reveal everything about Concubine Bai's collusion with them. If your father wants to behead them immediately, I'll step forward and plead for mercy. If your father doesn't listen... I'll have no choice but to secretly find some substitutes to replace them..."
"The prince is indeed very attentive..."
Su Mengyan knew that Situ Yao was not the kind of person who would kill innocent people indiscriminately, and those assassins just wanted to find an antidote for their lord. In fact, in essence, they were not at fault, they were just too stupid to be used.
"But I wonder if His Royal Highness has ever thought about what to do if Concubine Bai plays any tricks again?"
Su Mengyan's worries are not without reason. Concubine Bai has been in the deep palace for many years and is extremely cunning. The Concubine Bai described in the book she read before traveling through time is comparable to Zhen Zheng in Zhen Huan, which really makes people feel a little scared.
"This Concubine Bai has been deeply favored by my father over the years... If my father insists on protecting her, I can do nothing about it."
Situ Yao sighed helplessly. He hated Concubine Bai a little bit, but she was his father's favorite woman after all. He couldn't kill her openly. He could only secretly find out what she had done and then use it to bring her and her son down in one fell swoop.
"It's okay. I only secretly had someone pass the news to Concubine Bai during the interrogation three days later. I guess she will take action in the next few days. Your Majesty doesn't know about this yet. Remember, don't make this matter public."
Situ Yao kept giving instructions in Su Mengyan's ear.
In Concubine Bai's palace, Situ Zhao sat there leisurely looking at the palace maids around Concubine Bai. Those palace maids all knew who Situ Zhao was. No matter how uncomfortable they felt in their hearts, they could not say it out loud. They could only rely on avoiding eye contact to try to avoid Situ Zhao's attention.
