Chapter 503: Admit It
Shen Chuliu stopped the man who was trying to force her to sleep on the bed, and successfully dragged him to the Imperial Garden.
How could they just know that after being together all day? However, the emperor had no objection. He was in a good mood and enjoyed flowers and tea with her. They even had lunch in the imperial garden.
Because they didn't want to disturb anyone, they cleared the road early in the morning. The emperor gave the order, so there would be no possibility of any "chance encounter".
They were happy here, but Shen Chuliu never expected that something really went wrong in Ruiqing Palace.
The Sixth Prince wanted to eat papaya stewed with snow frog today. This kind of thing is usually eaten more by women, and the Sixth Prince learned from his mother and has a more diverse taste, so he asked for it.
As a result, there was no papaya in the kitchen in front.
That’s fine, the Sixth Prince doesn’t really need it.
So we changed to pigeon soup.
As a result, the imperial kitchen tried for a long time but still couldn't get anything.
The Sixth Prince became angry, but he did not vent his anger and just ate lunch first.
After waking up from a nap, he realized that he was not the only one who had just finished his lunch.
The Sixth Prince could no longer suppress his anger and went to the imperial kitchen with Yu Lou.
Although he is young, he is still scary when he looks serious.
"You don't want to work in the Imperial Kitchen anymore? Your father has issued an order that you should not provide food and drink to the prince?"
Oh my God! How dare the imperial kitchen accept this?
"Your Highness the Sixth Prince, please calm down. We really haven't prepared everything." It's not dinner time now, and Butler Hu is not here.
The steward's surname was Meng. He apologized timidly, "Sixth Prince, please calm down. This is our fault."
"Don't think I don't know. I don't eat lunch here often, but you dare to give me less. You want nothing today, and you dare to give me nothing tomorrow, right?"
“No, no, no, I dare not.” Manager Meng wiped his sweat, thinking that the Sixth Prince really knew everything. It was precisely because of this that he was not in a hurry even if there were some missing items.
If you want to make soup with something like pigeon, you have to do it early, otherwise it will be too late to make it now.
The food bureau receives a limited amount of money every day, so this is a little less.
"I am too lazy to bother with you. Yulou will take him to the Internal Criminal Department. Let him talk there. It's such a hot day and the prince's meal is an hour late, which shows that he has something to say." The Sixth Prince said, glanced at the pale-faced Steward Meng and went out.
Manager Meng suddenly realized, Oh my God, this is for the Eighth Prince...
The Eighth Prince’s meals were not late every day, but sometimes he was urged to eat by other people, so naturally he would be late.
It was a coincidence today. The Second Prince took away the Eighth Prince's soup, and the Fourth Prince took away two dishes from the Eighth Prince. The Sixth Prince didn't go to Yufu Palace to eat, so he hurriedly took away two dishes from there. Isn't this enough?
I couldn't take care of it at that time because I was in a hurry to do it. If I arranged it later, wouldn't it be too late?
Hey, this Sixth Prince, he's not that old, how come he's so powerful! You said this, he came here just to make trouble for something to eat, but he came here to defend his brother.
As expected of that son, he just has a problem with the kitchen.
By the time the emperor and Shen Chuliu learned about this, they had already returned to Yufu Palace and taken a nap.
Shen Chuliu laughed when she heard this: "Is this child greedy?"
Qi Yixiu shook his head: "I learned it from you."
Shen Chuliu smiled: "Why did you learn from me? You are better than me."
Qi Yixiu also laughed: "Forget it, he stood up for the Eighth Prince, he should be rewarded. Since the steward has sent it, just send it. The prince is not careful with his food, there is no need to keep it."
Chusi responded with a "yes" and thought that the imperial kitchen was courting death. The Eighth Prince was stupid, but it was not as if no one was watching over him. How dare they do that?
Tsk.
Manager Hu was so anxious that his hair almost fell off. When he saw Chu Si, he sighed, "Fourth Master, this is all caused by a big incident."
"Hehe, are you in a hurry now? The prince dares to treat you badly?" Chusi laughed.
"How could that be possible! But there are only so many pots and pans here. You know, I am taking care of the emperor's meals. The princes also have their priorities. Who knew that these bastards would be so late!"
"And the pigeon soup, ah... you said the Sixth Prince doesn't drink it on weekdays. It's not a one-size-fits-all situation. There are not many pigeons these days, so we didn't make many servings. How could it be such a coincidence?" Butler Hu felt very wronged.
"That's enough." Chu Si smiled and waved his hands: "Don't do these things again in the future. There's nothing to do now, just punish that steward Meng. The emperor means that if he doesn't serve well, he doesn't have to serve anymore."
Manager Hu breathed a sigh of relief: "Hey, I will serve you well in the future. You are worthy of being the son of Concubine Jing. Tsk, both mother and daughter are equally capable."
Chusi laughed: "How can you say that? You are really going backwards as you grow older."
Manager Hu clasped his fists to indicate that he would not say any more.
The next day, Shen Chuliu smiled when she saw the Sixth Prince: "Very impressive."
"Mother, did your son do something wrong? Right?" The Sixth Prince looked at her.
"Well, no, I didn't say you were wrong. Just do whatever you want. You have to be able to judge for yourself." Shen Chuliu looked at him with a smile: "I know you care about your brother, and you stand up for him and vent your anger. That's great."
Yesterday, Qi Yixiu said this while biting her ear, saying that she was a fox and gave birth to a little fox cub.
Shen Chuliu looked at her baby, who was adorable no matter how she looked at him.
"Hey, no, no." The Sixth Prince waved his hands embarrassedly: "Mom, I'm hungry."
"Eat if you're hungry. Serve the meal." Shen Chuliu waved his hand.
After lunch, the Sixth Prince went back, and Yuan Xiao came in and said, "Master, there is news."
"Well, you say." Shen Chuliu looked at him.
"The Internal Criminal Department released the people from Cuiyunxuan, but left behind a eunuch who could get close to Li Zhaoyi. He was not the chief eunuch. This eunuch admitted that he had put the medicine in Li Zhaoyi's soup. On the fifteenth day, Li Zhaoyi went back and drank the soup, and soon after, she had an attack. But you have already washed the soup bowl."
"It's too late for the imperial physician to examine him now. Then the Internal Criminal Department tortured the eunuch severely, and he admitted that it was Lihua, the maidservant who served Zhen Xiaoyi from Yinyue Pavilion, who gave him the medicine."
"Zhen Xiaoyi?" Shen Chuliu laughed after being shocked: "This is too tragic, what about Lihua?"
"Lihua refused to admit it, saying that she had seen the eunuch at the corner of the Imperial Garden, but she did not give him any medicine. Then Lihua was also tortured. At first, she only admitted that she was from the same hometown as the eunuch and that they occasionally met and talked. Later, she could not bear it anymore and admitted it."
"Admit it?" Shen Chuliu's eyes widened.
"I admit it." Yuan Xiao smiled and said, "Not everyone can withstand the punishment of the Internal Criminal Department."
"Tsk, the Emperor released her just for the Empress Dowager's sake, and she already had someone frame her like this..." Shen Chuliu shook her head. Someone was not allowing her to stand up.
The person who is looking for her is really stupid. Even if Lihua is innocent, as long as she admits her guilt, what else is there to say?
Another shameless month has begun. When will this jail term end? I finally bought some vegetables by running errands. Although they are expensive, at least I have them.
