Chapter 348: Food for Shen Chuwei, the Prince returns but is blocked at the door and not allowed to enter
The man in black continued drinking his tea. He raised his head to glance at Concubine Xu, only to see her almond-shaped eyes staring at him. He paused in drinking his tea.
"What's wrong?"
Concubine Xu didn't want to pay any attention to the man in black, otherwise he would think she was easy to bully.
The man in black saw Concubine Xu turning away from him. Her pretty face was filled with four words: I am angry~
After spending some time together, the man in black could still see Xu Cefei's personality. Whatever she was thinking would show on her face.
With this kind of personality, it's easy to suffer losses in the palace!
I also roughly guessed why she was angry.
"If you don't want to say anything, I'll leave." The man in black put down the teacup in his hand, stood up and was about to leave.
Upon hearing this, Concubine Xu turned around and hurriedly called out to him, "Stop right there!"
The man in black stopped and looked sideways at Xu Cefei. The corners of his lips covered by the black scarf raised a faint smile: "What's the matter?"
When Concubine Xu saw the delicious snacks on the table, she thought that the man in black was good at martial arts and would be able to easily enter Xiaoxiang Pavilion.
She raised her eyes to the man in black and asked, "Can you do me a favor?"
The man in black asked, "What help?"
Concubine Xu got straight to the point and said, "Shen Liangdi is imprisoned in Xiaoxiang Pavilion. I can't get in. Can you help me send some food in?"
The man in black nodded, "Okay."
Concubine Xu then smiled and started packing up the delicious food. She also asked Caixia to bring the abalone and shark fin, braised venison, steamed sea bass, etc. that had not been given away.
The man in black stood in front of Taohua Girl's round table and was amazed to see Concubine Xu packing up delicious food.
A whole bag of food, and a huge food box...
Concubine Xu pointed at the two things and said solemnly, "I'm counting on you."
The man in black didn't say anything, but he swiftly climbed out the window and left with one hand in his hand.
Xu Cefei trotted to the window and watched the agile figure of the man in black leaping forward freely between pavilions and lofts. Suddenly, she felt a little envious of the man in black's kung fu.
If she had known this earlier, she would have learned martial arts from her brothers when she was young, so that she could move freely in the palace.
At this time, Xiaoxiang Pavilion was so quiet that only the chirping of insects and the rustling of leaves in the wind could be heard.
In ancient times, people had dinner early, and two hours later, Shen Chuwei woke up because of hunger.
There was only one candle lit in the room, through which the furnishings inside could be vaguely seen.
You can endure anything except sleeping on an empty stomach.
Shen Chuwei touched her round belly and soothed them, "Don't worry, I won't let you go hungry."
After saying this, he lifted the thin quilt and got up to look for food.
Before she put on her shoes, she saw a tall and slender figure in the room. It was obvious that the figure was a man.
The man was carrying two large packages in his hands.
Shen Chuwei subconsciously thought that a thief had come to Xiaoxiang Pavilion. No, it was a big-name thief. A thief would not be able to break into the palace to steal.
What's wrong with stealing?
He actually ate it secretly!
But Shen Chuwei didn't dare to act rashly now. She was pregnant with two babies and couldn't take any risks.
So Shen Chuwei just sat on the bed motionless.
When the man in black came in, he found that Shen Chuwei had woken up. He went straight to the round table and placed the food on the table one by one.
Then he looked at Shen Chuwei who was sitting still on the bed, "This is what Concubine Xu asked me to bring."
When Shen Chuwei heard that it was sent by Concubine Xu, she moved to get out of bed, "Oh, it turns out to be one of our own. I was scared to death."
Man in black: “…”
Shen Chuwei felt that the candlelight in the room was not bright enough, so she ordered a few more cups. Then she couldn't wait to open the lunch box, take out the delicacies inside one by one and place them on the table.
The smell makes me even hungrier.
Shen Chuwei ignored the presence of the man in black, picked up the chopsticks, picked up the venison and started eating. It was so delicious.
"I didn't expect that Concubine Xu has a guard as skilled in martial arts as you by her side."
The man in black looked at Shen Chuwei while she was eating, and felt a vague sense of familiarity. It might be because they looked somewhat similar that he had this feeling.
Shen Chuwei didn't hear the man in black respond, and thought that the man in black might be a cold and taciturn person, so she didn't care.
"Thank Concubine Xu for me."
The man in black nodded, "Yes."
Shen Chuwei continued eating the venison, and then picked up a piece of delicious fish and put it into her mouth.
I found that the man in black had no intention of leaving, "Did Concubine Xu have something for you to tell me?"
The man in black shook his head: "No."
Well! Shen Chuwei ate another abalone, which tasted good.
After eating, Shen Chuwei leisurely drank a few sips of cold tea, and then looked at the man in black, only to see him climb out of the window neatly~
The next morning, in the prison
Qin Xiao was tortured for three days. Under normal circumstances, he would have been dying.
Because Xiao Jinyu would bring him medicine every day, and when no one was around at night, he would secretly apply the medicine on himself.
The three meals a day were all rotten steamed bread, and I didn’t even have time to drool.
The water Qin Xiao drinks every day is glucose.
Tonight, the food was surprisingly good, with both meat and fish, and very clean.
Generally speaking, if you eat such meals in prison, you know that you are not far from death.
Beheading rice.
Qin Xiao was stunned at first, but then he came to his senses and realized that he had not confessed yet, not even under torture, so it was impossible for him to be beheaded.
It couldn't be arranged by Prince Yu. When Prince Yu came these two days, the food didn't improve. When the food suddenly improved, I knew something was fishy.
However, Qin Xiao, who had not eaten for three days, saw the delicious food and couldn't help swallowing his saliva and wanted to eat.
Perhaps only at this moment could he understand why Shen Liangdi loved to eat so much.
After hesitating for a moment, Qin Xiao picked up the bowl, picked up the chopsticks, and started eating.
Outside the prison gate, the jailer who delivered the meal saw Qin Xiao eating, then turned around and left.
Qin Xiao raised his eyes to glance outside the prison door, and took out a small bottle from the haystack. It was sent by Prince Yu, who said that it was a potion prepared by Shen Liangdi herself, which could cure all poisons.
Just like that, Qin Xiao had a good hot meal for the first time in three days, and his strength was restored a lot.
In the dead of night
When the jailer came in, he saw the empty bowl and then looked at Qin Xiao lying on the haystack. He went forward to sniff his breath and found that there was no breath, so he left the prison with peace of mind.
Before dawn, Chang Liangyuan looked in front of the bronze mirror while Huaixiang was tying her hair.
The young eunuch bowed and walked in, reporting: "My lady, the matter has been settled. Qin Xiao committed suicide out of fear of punishment."
Chang Liangyuan smiled smugly upon hearing this, "Qin Xiao committed suicide out of fear of crime, Shen Liangdi can't clear herself from the blame even if she jumps into the Yellow River."
The Queen is not here, His Highness is not here either, Shen Liangdi, you are dead.
The first ray of sunlight in the morning shone on the windowsill, and the hibiscus flowers bloomed more brightly than usual facing the morning sun.
Xuetuan squatted on the bed, holding Shen Chuwei's hand with its fluffy paws, trying to wake her up.
At the same time, at the gate of Xiaoxiang Pavilion.
Xiao Jinyan rushed back day and night, and went to Xiaoxiang Pavilion as soon as he returned to the palace, but was stopped outside the door by the imperial guards.

So hot, I know the kids are saying I'm stuck and...
