Chapter 81 Tunnel
Seeing Chu Qinshu's pitiful and lovely eyes, Emperor Yongping didn't have the heart to refuse.
Although he had not had meat for many days, he would not compete with his granddaughter for eggs.
Besides, boiled eggs are not seasoned.
It's okay to lick it.
"Shu'er, be good. The Emperor will peel eggs for you to eat."
Lin Fu and Aunt Yao both found it a little funny when they heard what Emperor Yongping said. They were afraid that if they teased him like this, he would probably cry.
"Ahhh. Oh oh."
【Eat eggs, eat eggs. Shuer wants to eat eggs.】
Emperor Yongping peeled off the egg shell himself and brought the white and tender egg close to Chu Qinshu's mouth.
Chu Qinshu let out a sigh, took the eggs into her mouth and started sucking on them.
It was she who suggested that Lin Fu boil the eggs, as boiling the eggs is the best way to ensure that the nutrients in the eggs are not lost.
Also, boiled eggs don't need any seasoning so she has a chance to lick them.
"Ouch, slow down, your handkerchief is soaked with your saliva."
Emperor Yongping used eggs to tease Chu Qinshu. He was not worried at all that she might get an upset stomach. After all, the skin wouldn't be broken at all. At most, she would just drool.
"Master, the Queen had the tunnel of Fenghua Palace reopened, saying that she wanted to go out and avenge her son."
Little Hulu was annoyed by the quarrel between Concubine Xian and her son, so he switched to watching the Queen's video.
After all, it watched the entire process of today's palace banquet. Such a big thing happened between Duke Xuan's Mansion and Chu Chengzhao, it was impossible for the Queen not to react.
In the little gourd's mind, the queen is the biggest villain in this world, and her every move determines the progress of its mission.
You won’t go wrong if you keep an eye on her.
[No wonder she hasn't come to the Emperor to beg for mercy yet. It turns out she's planning to take revenge on her own.]
[That's not right. It was the Emperor who issued an order to demote her son to a commoner. She wouldn't be seeking revenge on the Emperor, right?]
Chu Qinshu smacked the egg in her mouth, while she didn't forget to reply to Xiao Hulu in her mind.
She is one month old now, and her consciousness is getting stronger and stronger. She can handle two things at once.
"Don't you know where the Fenghua Palace tunnel leads to?
She sent someone out of the tunnel to avenge her son, so she must be looking for someone outside the palace. I think she is looking for either the General Wuwei's Mansion or Chu Chengzhao's wet nurse."
Xiao Hulu was watching the video while reporting the progress to Chu Qinshu.
[Oh, she doesn’t dare to attack the Emperor yet, but she certainly doesn’t dare to go to the General Wuwei’s Mansion, so she can only vent her anger on Chu Chengzhao’s wet nurse and her family.]
Chu Qinshu recalled the plot of the original book, and thought about the cause and effect of today's incident between Chu Chengzhao and Duke Xuan's Mansion.
She didn't know who pushed this matter, but she knew that the key witness was Chu Chengzhao's wet nurse.
With the Queen's temper, she would only pick on the weak and squeeze the weak. That nanny would definitely not be able to escape from her grasp.
"Master is right. I think so too. However, it is not difficult for her to kill a nanny, and it will not affect our mission."
The little gourd is a spiritual treasure from the underworld. It knows that everyone has their own cause and effect, and it will not control everyone like the Holy Mother.
[Well, but the Queen might get nothing. That nanny dared to come out and testify about the bad things her master did. There must be someone behind her who gave her a benefit. Who would be willing to do something that has no benefit? ]
Chu Chengzhao's wet nurse was not a good person in the original book.
After he ascended the throne, the empress had been bewitched by the imperial teacher and finally decided to get rid of him and replace him.
The bowl of ginseng soup that sent him to hell was made by that wet nurse.
This is a typical multi-master personality. Whoever gives her the most benefits is her master. There is no loyalty at all.
"Master is right. She just didn't know how to kill a wet nurse. Why did the queen go there in person? She couldn't even lift a knife. Was she going to strangle the wet nurse to death?"
Little Gourd doesn't like to use his brain and just asks when he doesn't understand.
[The Queen herself left the tunnel? She might not be going to strangle the wet nurse to death, but to go to the Star Observatory to find the Imperial Master.]
"Ahem, wow wow wow."
Chu Qinshu was multitasking, and Emperor Yongping was also multitasking.
The eggs were broken and no one noticed.
Chu Qinshu was successfully choked, and Emperor Yongping began to panic.
"Is Shu'er okay? It's all the Emperor's fault for not holding the egg steady, so Shu'er bit it. How could Shu'er bite through an egg when she has no teeth?"
Emperor Yongping took away the egg and reached directly into Chu Qinshu's mouth to take out the broken egg whites.
Poor Chu Qinshu smacked it for a long time but only tasted it, and was almost stung to death.
There is really no planning at all.
“Wow wow wow, wow wow wow”
[Drink milk, Shu'er wants to drink milk, Shu'er wants to rinse her mouth. ]
The egg in Chu Qinshu's mouth was completely taken out by Emperor Yongping, leaving only the natural salty taste on his fingers that lingered for a long time.
Hurry up and drink milk to dilute it, otherwise she will remember the taste of spiced chicken feet again.
Emperor Yongping: "......"
Does this mean you abandon him?
He had just washed his hands when he peeled the eggs. Why should she complain about it?
If you still need to rinse your mouth, why don’t you go to heaven?
Emperor Yongping obviously misunderstood Chu Qinshu.
However, he just thought about it, and he found it funny after thinking about it.
This is his granddaughter whom he loves like a treasure. Even if she dislikes him, he should reflect on himself. How can he blame her, a baby?
Oh, I'd better not be so soft-hearted as to feed her things in the future, even licking her is not enough.
Nanny Yao quickly took Chu Qinshu away. Emperor Yongping replayed what he had just heard in his mind and called Long Wei.
"Go check if there is a tunnel in the observatory."
The Dragon Guard leader hesitated to speak.
"say."
"Master, do we need to keep the investigation of the tunnel a secret from the East Palace guards?"
Long Wei has been keeping an eye on the observatory for a while now, but he hasn't found anything suspicious.
I guess the East Palace secret guards are the same as them.
If we want to investigate the tunnel this time, we must sneak into the observatory.
Should they go, or should they pretend to be ignorant and let the East Palace secret guards go as well?
They discovered the East Palace's secret guards in Fenghua Palace, the Prince's Residence, and the Observatory.
But their master asked them to pretend that they didn't notice, so they could only pretend to be blind.
“No need.”
Emperor Yongping waved his hand, and the secret guards retreated and disappeared.
Although what he is doing now is to eliminate the thieves of the country, in fact, it is also to clear obstacles for Chu Chengyi.
It is only natural for the East Palace to be involved.
......
Fenghua Palace is located deep in the inner palace. If you leave the palace through the palace gate, it will take one or two hours to walk.
If you go to the observatory, it will take even longer.
The tunnels are dug deep and are not affected by ground buildings. One of the tunnels that goes directly to the observatory can be reached in half the time of the ground tunnel.
"My lady, I haven't walked through this tunnel for a long time. Please watch your step carefully."
The queen had changed into a palace maid's clothes and entered the tunnel with Qingzhi and Ziman.
Qingzhi was in front, using a torch to burn away spider webs and clear away debris on the ground.
The queen followed behind her, and Zi Man followed behind the queen, holding a torch to light the way.
"My Lady, now that the tunnel is open, will that person come to see you again?"
The Queen remained silent throughout the whole process, but Zi Man was a little impatient.
