Chapter 313: Eunuch Zhou is such a good person
[Haha, it turns out the imposter didn't escape by his own ability, but was deliberately let go by the tyrant. I just want to see what the imposter will do after escaping.]
[With Xiao Er following me, I wouldn't have been in trouble even if I hadn't run.]
Chu Liuzheng was depressed. If she had known earlier, she would have asked King Xiao to send someone to deliver it.
I will never walk alone at night again!
The tyrant was in a good mood, even in the rain at night, he actually went out for a walk.
Chu Liuzheng tilted his head and clamped the umbrella handle to the side of his neck, then reached into his sleeve, only to find nothing.
[Eh? Where's my bun?]
She lowered her head and looked around, but didn't see it. She quickly took two steps and reached out to pull Zhou Yuande's sleeve: "Eunuch Zhou, I lost something and want to go back and look for it."
Zhou Yuande stopped, turned around and asked, "What did you lose?"
"It's important," Chu Liuzheng said. "If His Majesty asks about it later, please tell the eunuch for me. I'll be back soon."
After she finished speaking, she ran back without waiting for Zhou Yuande's reply.
Zhou Yuande frowned and told Xiao Anzi to take two people with him to help look for it.
Xiao Jingfan was walking in the front. When he heard the noise behind him, he turned around and asked, "What happened?"
Zhou Yuande hurried forward and replied, "Miss Liu Zheng just lost something important and needs to go back to look for it. I asked Xiao Anzi to go with her."
Xiao Jingfan: "..."
What’s so important about steamed buns?
Is it particularly delicious?
Zhou Yuande looked at his face and said, "Your Majesty, do you want to wait for Miss Liu Zheng?"
Xiao Jingfan thought seriously for a moment and shook his head: "Send a few more people to help."
He took two steps forward and said, "I want to eat buns tomorrow morning. Make a few more kinds of fillings."
No matter how delicious the buns are, they will be inedible if they are soaked in rainwater. The ones made in the imperial kitchen should be pretty good, right?
Although he didn't know how the topic turned to steamed buns, Zhou Yuande immediately agreed and told someone to do it.
On the other side, a dozen people held umbrellas in one hand and lanterns in the other, and bent down in the slanting wind and drizzle to help Chu Liuzheng find her important things.
Chu Liuzheng felt a little embarrassed when he thought that the so-called "important thing" was just two buns.
She really didn't intend to mobilize such a large number of troops.
Perhaps what she said caused Eunuch Zhou to misunderstand and think that she had lost something valuable.
Eunuch Zhou is such a good man that he sent so many people to help her.
A group of people searched the same path Chu Liuzheng had just walked twice, and finally found only a piece of oil paper soaked by rain and some tiny crumbs that had turned into a paste.
I don’t know which one benefits the cat or the mouse.
Chu Liuzheng sighed, reached out to pick up the oil paper and held it in his palm, and said to everyone: "No need to look for it, thank you all for your help, let's go back."
After returning to the Yangxin Palace, Chu Liuzheng's wet clothes had been half-dried by the cloak and body temperature. She couldn't show up in front of the emperor in her honor, so she went straight back to the side room in the back palace.
"You're finally back." Xia Qiaoru handed over a bowl of ginger soup, "Drink it quickly to drive away the cold."
Chu Liuzheng took it and drank it all in one gulp, feeling a warmth rising from his stomach and gradually spreading throughout his body.
After a while, sweat began to form on his forehead.
Xia Qiaoru then reached out to help her take off her cloak, saying as she did so, "There's hot water behind the screen. Go soak in it first, and I'll get some more."
Chu Liuzheng nodded and went to take a bath behind the screen as instructed.
Xia Qiaoru found some clean clothes, hung them on the screen, and then went out with the bucket.
When she came back, Chu Liuzheng had already fainted in the bathtub.
Xia Qiaoru was horrified and reached out to push her, but she couldn't wake her up at all.
She tried to carry the person out, but Shui Hua didn't have enough strength, so she had to go out to find someone for help. She almost bumped into Qin Shu, who was ordered to see the patient.
Qin Shu grabbed the person and asked with a frown, "What's wrong?"
Xia Qiaoru recognized her and quickly grabbed her and brought her into the house: "Doctor Qin, you've come at the perfect time. Liu Zheng has fainted and I can't hold her. Please help."
After a lot of hard work, the two of them finally moved Chu Liuzheng to the bed.
Qin Shu sat by the bed and felt Chu Liuzheng's pulse. She then placed the back of her hand against her forehead and said, "You caught a cold from the rain. You have a slight fever and seem to have been a bit frightened."
Xia Qiaoru was stunned. Why would she be frightened?
"Light a few more candles." Qin Shu took out the acupuncture kit, "I'll give her two acupuncture needles."
The rain fell all night and stopped at dawn.
The bird stood on the branch, gently shaking off the water droplets on its feathers and making a crisp chirp.
Xia Qiaoru, carrying a lunch box, lifted the curtain and entered the room. Seeing that the person on the bed had sat up, she couldn't help but feel happy: "Are you awake?"
Chu Liuzheng's head was still dizzy. He raised his hand and pressed it to his forehead, asking, "What's wrong with me?"
"You passed out in the bath last night." Xia Qiaoru poured her a glass of water and handed it to her, "Drink it to moisten your throat."
Chu Liuzheng took it and drank it.
Xia Qiaoru reached out and touched her forehead, saying, "Doctor Qin gave you an acupuncture and prescribed a medicine. I've already boiled the medicine. You can drink it after breakfast."
When Chu Liuzheng heard that he had to take medicine, his face wrinkled: "I don't feel uncomfortable anywhere, it doesn't matter whether I take medicine or not..."
Under Xia Qiaoru's glare, her voice became softer and softer, and she finally pursed her lips and said, "Okay, I'll drink it."
Xia Qiaoru smiled, took out some green salt for her to rinse her mouth, and then poured some hot water for her to wash.
Chu Liuzheng let her toss him about in a daze until he smelled the aroma of wheat.
She opened her eyes and saw Xia Qiaoru taking buns out of the food box.
She asked in confusion, "Why are they all buns?"
"And porridge." Xia Qiaoru brought out two bowls of porridge. "It's said that His Majesty specifically ordered it. The Imperial Kitchen wanted to save time and sent us buns, but with a different filling."
She took out her chopsticks and said, "Your Majesty eats eight kinds of fillings, but we only have two: bamboo shoots and meat, and braised pork. I took three of each. Come and eat."
Chu Liuzheng put on his clothes and got out of bed. He still felt a little dizzy and his legs were sore, probably as a sequelae of running around last night.
I should find time to practice running more often in the future, so I can run faster when I encounter danger.
She sat down at the table and couldn't help but sigh when she thought of the two bamboo shoot and pork buns that she didn't eat last night.
The buns made by my mother are no longer edible, but the ones from the imperial kitchen will do.
Rounding it off, it can be considered as eating it.
At the wonton stall at the city gate, Pei Yunjian and Chu Shangming were each eating a bowl of fish skin wontons, with their bags beside them, waiting for the carriage to pick them up.
Ren Qingxia paid for the wontons and bought a bowl of noodles with soybean paste from the noodle stall next door. He brought it over and sat across from Pei Yunjian. While mixing the noodles, he asked, "Where is His Royal Highness Prince Xiao taking you?"
"No instructions." Chu Shangming took a sip of wonton soup. "He just said he would take us on a long journey and asked us to pack our bags and wait for him at the city gate."
Pei Yunjian put his chopsticks into the bowl of noodles and picked up a handful of noodles to eat.
Ren Qingxia looked at him and asked, "Buy you a bowl?"
"It's not tasty." Pei Yunjian lowered his head and continued to eat his wontons.
Seeing this, Ren Qingxia tasted it himself and said, "I put too much vinegar. I forgot you don't like vinegar."
Pei Yunjian paused as he scooped up the wontons, put the spoon down, and looked towards the intersection: "It's already this late, why hasn't Brother Yan come yet?"
Looking at his red ears, Ren Qingxia quickly raised the corners of her lips.
"Yeah, it will be too late if you don't come now." Chu Shangming put down the bowl and looked towards the intersection.
Ren Qingxia added chili oil to his noodles while saying, "I'm afraid he won't come."
