"Forget it, I'll just make one more next time."
The palace maid nodded repeatedly.
After the meal, the emperor took a walk with Gu Yinwei.
"You have a weak personality, but a brilliant mind. The recipes you come up with are all top-notch. Even the chefs in Kyoto restaurants don't know how to cook as well as you do."
"Your Majesty, your praise is unbelievable."
"I'm not exaggerating, it's just that the recipe you developed is excellent. If the treasury runs out of money tomorrow, I'll ask my beloved concubine for advice on how to make money."
"The Emperor is in his prime, and Xuanhua State is at peace. I don't think such a day will ever come."
Under the grape trellis, the two looked like an ordinary couple.
"I will give you a token to leave the palace. From now on, if you want to eat something, just send someone to buy it for you. I will also assign you a few cooks, so it will be convenient for you to cook your own food in the Pepper Room."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Gu Yinwei took the token, her eyes full of satisfaction.
Although he was an emperor, he was able to think carefully for her.
"I actually have a plan in mind."
"I understand your Majesty's painstaking efforts."
"My harem doesn't need so many people in the first place. I won't be bringing back the concubines who are leaving the palace to accompany me."
"But the Queen is the Emperor's first wife after all."
"No, the Queen is the Queen Mother's Queen. You are the only legitimate wife I have in mind."
Gu Yinwei was very surprised. She couldn't believe that the emperor would say such a thing.
"Being an emperor is not my wish. Being a Taoist priest is my wish. When I return to the palace, I will take you to visit Jiuhua Peak. The mountain holds my most precious memories."
The emperor held Gu Yinwei's hand, reluctant to let go. Xun He reminded him, "It's time for the emperor to set off."
"I will leave after I accompany Concubine Xiang to plant this pear tree."
The emperor dug a large hole himself and planted a seedling. Fugui muttered to himself, "I'm afraid trees planted in winter won't survive."
Xun He scolded Fu Gui: "Don't meddle in the emperor's affairs."
The emperor jokingly said, "I said it could live, and it lived. Even after I died, it was still alive."
As the old saying goes, a word can become a prophecy. The emperor's words were unlucky, and Gu Yinwei's heart skipped a beat.
"Your Majesty, you must wear the hair I give you close to your body."
"I know. Take good care of yourself and wait for my return."
In the cold wind in the backyard, a young pear tree swayed. Gu Yinwei pasted a piece of talisman paper on the ground, and the roots of the pear tree were deeply rooted in the soil.
Chuchu came back from the Shanggong Bureau to get some clothes. She whispered to Bian Tao, "I heard that the Third Prince has a strange disease. His clothes are all black. The old palace maids said that he was under a spell."
When Chuchu was speaking, Bian Tao reminded her, "Be quiet, the master is asleep."
"Master, why did you fall asleep again? Before, you had just had lunch and you were full of energy."
"It's inevitable to feel sleepy in winter."
The two of them were talking in whispers as the wind and snow outside grew stronger.
Three thousand imperial guards gathered at the palace gate, leading the way, followed by a huge convoy. The number of people traveling this time was as high as thousands.
"Hehehehe." The third prince started coughing violently.
"Qian'er, Qian'er, how are you?"
"I... am fine... Mother."
Zhu Qian coughed violently, and the pools of black blood were terrifying to see.
"You take a rest first. Mother is going to see someone."
The Queen Mother got out of the spacious carriage and changed into a small oilcloth cart, in which sat a man holding an ivory fan.
"Her Majesty, what do you think of my plan?"
"Your plan will not harm the emperor."
"Your Majesty is supreme, how dare this humble servant hurt you?"
"Your method can definitely save the Third Prince."
"The Third Prince has been cursed by Ku Chan, and he needs Ku Chan to personally break the curse. I have already found Ku Chan's address. Now all I need is a handwritten imperial edict from the Queen Mother. I will immediately send someone to escort Ku Chan to the Wuliang Mountain Palace."
The empress dowager had no suspicion and wrote a personal letter quickly and handed it to Wei Junzhai.
Wei Junzhai accepted the letter and repeatedly pledged his utmost to save the Third Prince. Seeing his obedience and lack of cunning, and having accompanied the Emperor on his journey to Dongzhou to rescue the Third Prince and bring him back to the capital, the Empress Dowager placed great trust in him.
"If you work hard for me, I won't treat you unfairly."
Tears welled up in Wei Junzhai's eyes. The empress dowager mistakenly thought that he was moved by her words and got off the carriage with satisfaction.
As a person who has held a high position for many years, the Queen Mother likes others to compliment her, flatter her, and treat her with respect.
"Reward the Imperial Master with a Green Ruyi."
"Thank you, Queen Mother. Long live Her Majesty."
"Hahaha, I'm grateful for your good wishes."
When she let a little bread crumb slip through her fingers, Wei Junzhai burst into tears of gratitude. He was tempted by small profits and was in control.
The Queen Mother did not know why Wei Junzhai was moved to tears. When he was alone with the Queen Mother just now, he saw the surging luck in the Queen Mother's body and thought to himself: If I kill this old witch, I will surely be able to step into the realm of semi-immortality in one step. Gu Yinwei was deeply trapped in the harem, and it was difficult to stop his plan for the time being.
When his plan succeeds, he will be the undisputed king of the world in the book.
"Ha ha ha ha."
Wei Junzhai was holding a letter and was in a state of madness, and Xiansheng almost overturned the roof of the car.
A bunch of mortals are not worthy of his kneeling. Just wait and see, his comeback is about to begin.
Wei Junzhai went to Dongzhou and met the owner of Dongzhou Island. Only then did he realize how happy it was to be the king of a mountain.
If he becomes a slave to the royal family, they will always look down on him. It would be better for him to let go and do something great.
Wei Junzhai jumped off the carriage, quietly went around to the back of the team, and found an old monk in a carriage transporting supplies.
