Chapter 506 Fan Yuan's Conspiracy?
"Big pot, big pot..."
The next day.
As always, Choi Shin-ki ran over and called for Wei Shu-yu.
However, before they even got close to the door, a shoe flew out of the window.
It landed squarely on Choi Shin-ki's face.
"roll!"
Wei Shuyu's voice came: "Come back in an hour!"
"Waaah..."
Choi Shin-ki covered his cheek, looking aggrieved.
You said it yourself, big pot...
Early to bed and early to rise makes you healthy.
As a result, I slept in!
inside the house.
Wei Shuyu yawned and then went back to sleep.
He survived five assassination attempts last night!
Li Shimin was truly ruthless.
Poisonous smoke, poisoned soldiers, poisoned arrows... use whatever is lethal.
They even tampered with his food.
However, Wei Shuyu was completely unharmed.
The only downside was that I didn't sleep well all night...
"Wei Shuyu, Wei Shuyu..."
A moment later, Wu Qiqi burst through the door again.
"..."
Wei Shuyu was exhausted.
But he still advised, "Come back in an hour!"
"oh oh."
Wu Qiqi closed the gate and disguised herself as a minor official to guard the gate for Wei Shuyu.
But then I realized something was wrong.
I am Madam Wei.
Taking care of my husband is my responsibility.
Then, feeling quite pleased with himself, he ran to the kitchen and got to work.
study.
Wei Zheng got up early and was reviewing some documents.
"Master, something terrible has happened!"
Old Wu rushed in.
"Nonsense!"
Wei Zheng put down his pen: "How many times have I said that no one is allowed to enter the study at will?"
Wei Zheng's expression was stern.
They have this "I'll make you pay if you don't give me an explanation" attitude.
"No, sir."
Old Wu hurriedly replied, "It's Miss Qiqi. She's gone to the kitchen to cook again."
What?
Wei Zheng was greatly alarmed.
Then he hurriedly gathered up his paper and pen: "Quick, bring me my official robes."
"Master, I should go to my duty."
"..."
Old Wu's eye twitched.
You, who are fearless, actually have things you're afraid of.
"Sir, didn't you say we shouldn't waste food?"
Old Wu joked, "Miss Qiqi must have made breakfast for you too."
"If you just leave like this, won't breakfast be wasted?"
That makes perfect sense.
Wei Zheng looked at Old Wu, a slight smile playing on his lips.
"So after I leave, this delicious food will be yours."
Holy crap.
Old Wu stared wide-eyed.
As expected of a master, even he has such a shameless side!
He served as the head steward of the Wei family.
He had naturally tasted Wu Qiqi's cooking, and the taste was simply indescribable.
"Actually, this old servant also needs to go out to purchase supplies."
Old Wu said seriously, "If you go too late, the vegetables will be sold out."
"Yeah?"
Wei Zheng gave a disdainful sneer.
"Sir, what kind of look is that?"
Old Wu replied with dissatisfaction, "They won't even let me do procurement! Believe me, this old servant is quitting!"
Old Wu was indignant.
Not only is the workload heavy and the pay low, but the master also wants to restrict our personal freedom?
This is intolerable...
"..."
Wei Zheng sighed: "Alright, go and make the purchases."
The two old men slipped out of the Wei residence like thieves.
That's right, it's like doing something like stealing.
If Wu Qiqi finds out, she'll definitely make them finish breakfast before they leave.
Choi Shin-ki was snoring by the corridor, with one hand resting in the middle of the corridor.
The two old men stepped on it.
"Ouch."
"Ouch."
Choi Shin-ki snapped back to reality in the pain, clutching his hand with tears welling in his eyes.
"Huh?"
Wei Zheng belatedly realized: "Old Wu, did we just step on something?"
"What do you mean, sir?"
Old Wu put on a stern face: "This old servant has been diligent and conscientious, sweeping the floor spotless. How could there be any foreign objects?"
Too……
Wei Zheng nodded.
Then the two left the Wei residence without looking back.
"Wang Fatan, you guys stepped on me!"
Choi Shin-ki chased after him to take a look.
There's no one left...
Three poles in the sun.
Wei Shuyu straightened up, stretched, and leisurely got out of bed.
"Wei Shuyu, you're awake."
Wu Qiqi, who was waiting at the door, immediately brought in a bowl of porridge.
"Try this, it's my new chestnut porridge."
"..."
Wei Shuyu glanced at it and asked warily, "Chestnut porridge?"
"Uh-huh."
Wu Qiqi nodded repeatedly.
"Nothing else was put in?"
"Uh-huh."
"Boiled in plain water?"
"Uh-huh."
Wei Shuyu rattled off a string of questions.
Only after confirming there were no problems did I pick it up and take a bite.
Then his face turned deathly green.
The poison didn't kill him.
I almost died from how bad it tasted.
"this……"
Seeing Wu Qiqi staring at him expectantly, Wei Shuyu asked tactfully, "This tastes different from the usual chestnut porridge."
"Right?"
Wu Qiqi smiled and nodded: "These chestnuts were carefully selected by me."
"I buried the millet in salt for three days and three nights."
"The porridge cooked after that had a naturally salty taste."
"That way, we don't need any side dishes."
"..."
Wei Shuyu cracked.
So why go through all that trouble?
If you want it saltier, just add salt directly, right?
"Your idea... is wildly imaginative and unbelievable!" Wei Shuyu gave a thumbs up.
"whee……"
Wu Qiqi rested her chin on her hands: "If you like it, I'll make it for you again tomorrow."
"..."
Wei Shuyu quickly changed the subject: "By the way, why did you come to see me so early?"
Wei Shuyu put down his chopsticks.
Peeking furtively out the door, he wondered why Choi Shin-ki hadn't come to his rescue yet.
"Oh, this..."
Wu Qiqi suddenly walked to the door and closed it.
Holy crap.
Wei Shuyu's heart skipped a beat.
I looked again at the chestnut porridge on the table...
He immediately wore an expression that was both funny and exasperated.
There were no reinforcements either.
"Wei Shuyu, let me tell you something..."
Wu Qiqi whispered, "I racked my brains all night yesterday and finally figured out what Fan Yuan's purpose is!"
Um?
Wei Shuyu raised his head and looked at Wu Qiqi in disbelief.
You've seen through this even though you haven't seen through it yourself.
"Tell me..."
Wei Shuyu subconsciously picked up a spoon and scooped a mouthful of chestnut porridge into his mouth.
I felt completely terrible instantly.
This damn bad habit needs to be changed!
"good."
Wu Qiqi was delighted to see that Wei Shuyu enjoyed the porridge she made.
"Actually, I guess..."
Wu Qiqi whispered, "The backup plan left by Fan Yuan was neither a remnant of Dou Jiande nor someone planted in the court."
"It's... Li Ke!"
Um?
Wei Shuyu frowned.
"Isn't that very likely?"
“Li Ke is in his own fiefdom, and Consort Yang will not allow him to interfere.”
Consort Yang may have had contact with Princess Nanyang.
She can take a gamble!
He won the gamble, and his son became the king.
Even if he loses the bet, Li Ke won't be in any trouble.
Because Li Ke possessed the most noble bloodline in the world, Li Shimin needed to think carefully before trying to harm him.
Secondly...
As a mother, she would not allow Li Ke to be tainted.
If rumors spread that he colluded with rebels, his throne will be in jeopardy.
The courtiers will be dissatisfied!
"whee……"
Wu Qiqi squinted her eyes with delight.
I'm finally better than Wei Shuyu in one aspect, I'm happy.
“You’ve overlooked something…”
Wu Qiqi circled around Wei Shuyu and said, "Fan Yuan's goal is revenge!"
"And the method of revenge..."
"It's not just about killing His Majesty!"
Huh?
Wei Shuyu suddenly had a flash of inspiration.
Suddenly, it was as if something was remembered...
"You mean..."
Wei Shuyu tentatively asked, "Is Fan Yuan's target the Crown Prince and the King of Wei?"
