Chapter 182 Xie Jingci's Life Experience
Xie Jingci straightened his expression and said, "Whatever Madam wants to hear, I will tell you everything."
"I just want to ask, if we rebel in the future, what name do you plan to use?"
After all, this place is not as good as the end of the world. The rules have not collapsed yet. It is not legitimate. Even if the rebellion is successful, it will be a big hidden danger if it is used by people with ulterior motives.
Having said that, Xie Jingci's expression turned serious and cold.
After a moment, he said, "Madam, do you know that someone once said that I look 70% like the late emperor?"
"Um"
Lu Wanyin reacted immediately and looked at Xie Jingci in shock: "You mean..."
Xie Jingci lowered his eyes and took Lu Wanyin's fingers and played with them: "Actually, I just have some doubts."
Lu Wanyin knew that he was organizing his words and waited patiently.
"It was first mentioned by a Lieutenant General on the battlefield. He had been shot through the internal organs by an arrow and was dying. I was by his side, listening to his final words. I was just a soldier at the time, without any rank, yet he mistook me for the late emperor. As he struggled to his feet, nearing death, he begged me to find a place for his wife and daughter."
"At the time, I just thought he was hallucinating before he died. Later, several veterans in the army looked at me with strange eyes. They came from all corners of the country, and their only common ties were their service in the late emperor's personal campaigns."
This truth was really unexpected for Lu Wanyin, but it was also reasonable.
No wonder the new emperor wanted to kill Xie Jingci no matter what.
Lu Wanyin had never seen the late emperor, so it was difficult for her to judge him. But when the civil and military officials of the court attended court every day and saw his face, didn't anyone have any doubts?
Lu Wanyin had a hunch that this matter was not that simple.
Lu Wanyin frowned and said, "The late emperor never contacted you privately."
Logically speaking, the late emperor should have noticed Xie Jingci first.
Xie Jingci shook his head. "No, his attitude towards me is just the courtesy between the monarch and his subjects. I have even sent the Heavenly and Earthly Secret Guards to investigate and have tried to probe the Xie family many times, but to no avail."
"Maybe it's just a coincidence."
After listening to his description, Lu Wanyin also fell into deep thought.
Are there really two people in the world who look so similar but have no relationship?
Xie Jingci smiled and said, "However, regardless of whether I am related to the late emperor or not, this matter can always be used to my advantage."
Lu Wanyin yawned: "Okay, I have an idea. Let's talk about this later. I'm going to sleep for a while."
…
I didn't sleep for long, only an hour at most.
Xie Jingci beside him had disappeared.
The streets were bustling with activity, and the sounds coming and going could be heard clearly through the window.
Lu Wanyin glanced at the empty seat next to her and muttered, "This man has great physical strength."
After tossing and turning for almost the entire night, he was still able to get up so early. He really has the energy!
As soon as Lu Wanyin opened the door, she saw Liuying waiting there.
"Madam, you are awake. Please wash up."
Lu Wanyin waved her hand, "No, no, this is not the general's residence, I don't need you to serve me, you might as well sleep in more."
Liuying responded softly, feeling warm in her heart.
Lu Wanyin walked downstairs: "Where's the general?"
Liuying replied, "The general is in the kitchen."
Lu Wanyin wondered why Xie Jing left the kitchen so early in the morning.
Is it possible that he is hungry and cooks for himself?
Good, you dare to eat alone behind her back.
Lu Wanyin thought about it and walked towards the kitchen. When she passed the hall, she saw Hou Yuanji sitting in the lobby.
"Morning, Madam General."
As soon as he saw Lu Wanyin coming downstairs, Hou Yuanji took the initiative to step forward and greet her.
I have to admit it.
The young master of the Hou family is indeed flexible.
He walked up to Lu Wanyin with scars all over his body, smiling brightly, "Madam, what do you want for breakfast today? I'll treat you."
Lu Wanyin glanced at him and said, "What's your business? Stay away from me."
Last night, this guy came to see her and Xie Jingci on purpose. I wonder what evil intentions he has.
If Hou Yuanji really intended to do something, then she wouldn't mind sending him to the west.
Hou Yuanji didn't know yet.
My proactive greeting to save my life was completely misinterpreted.
Hou Yuanji depended on her for his livelihood, so naturally he could not offend her and left immediately.
Wu Fan witnessed the whole process from the side, dumbfounded: "... Otherwise, the master is the master and the servant is the servant."
When necessary, the master can be even more servant-like than the servant.
Wu Fan felt inferior to him.
Lu Wanyin didn't take Hou Yuanji's little episode seriously and went straight to the small kitchen to find Xie Jingci.
As the largest inn in Fanzhou, there are three kitchens here, two large and one small.
Now a small kitchen has been specially prepared for them to use, which obviously shows that the money is in place.
Lu Wanyin searched all the way over and heard the sound of a spatula hitting a pot coming from the kitchen.
The aroma of food wafts into my nose.
As Lu Wanyin stepped into the kitchen, she saw Xuanyi carefully adding salt to the dishes under the guidance of a man.
Xie Jingci was sitting not far away, looking at the booklet in his hand with a calm expression.
Lu Wanyin walked lightly to Xie Jingci's side and said, "He is... learning to cook."
She casually glanced at the booklet in Xie Jingci's hand.
It looks like a list.
Some are described in just a few words.
Some even have pictures specially added.
Seeing Lu Wanyin, Xie Jingci's eyes softened instantly: "I have nothing to do anyway. Since I have the talent, I might as well learn it. If I run out of food, I can always make it."
What I heard was the loud sound of stir-frying, and even louder than the sound, the old chef's scolding, as he expressed his frustration with the chef.
Xuan Yi, who prided himself on his amazing talent in cooking, was so pressured by Xie Jingci that he didn't even dare to breathe when he was scolded.
Lu Wanyin walked over curiously to watch, and saw Xuan Yi pinching the salt with a serious face, afraid that he would spill too much.
The old master acted as if he didn't see Lu Wanyin. He just stared at Xuan Yi and scolded: "Sprinkle it, scatter it, do you want to count how many grains of salt he has?"
Lu Wanyin looked at the food in the pot.
That tempting red color seemed to be the rouge goose breast I had eaten last night.
This dish doesn't seem difficult to make, Xuanyi has the basics, why does it look so difficult?
Lu Wanyin glanced at the kitchen.
On the table to one side, there were two plates of neatly cut water chestnut thousand-layer cakes: "But it was made by Xuanyi"
This yellow and white pastry is stacked layer upon layer.
It looked exactly like what she had eaten last night.
Seeing Xuan Yi nod with a bitter face, Lu Wanyin pinched a piece and put it in her mouth.
Her eyes lit up: "That's great."
Xie Jingci had already put down the booklet, and his eyes had been fixed on Lu Wanyin since she came in. "These two are the ones that suit Madam's taste the most. The rest have been dealt with."
Processed
Lu Wanyin understood.
I just thought he buried it somewhere at random and didn't take it seriously.
