Chapter 95: Pure Little White Flower

Wang Dequan is indeed the emperor's confidant. Even though his head was bleeding, he did not go to find the culprit first. Instead, he returned to Hexi Palace calmly as if nothing had happened and arranged for Emperor Xuanwu to have a meal.

When Xi Que went into the inner room, Jiang Xinyue looked up and asked casually, "Where is Eunuch Wang?"

Tang Shiliang is Wang Dequan's godson. Logically, he should be the most angry when his godfather was beaten.

But his face showed no emotion. He served the emperor a small bowl of delicious soup and then smiled and said, "I accidentally hit my head when I went to the kitchen. Xi Que and Xiao Xuanzi applied medicine. Master said he was afraid that the smell of the medicine would affect the appetite of the emperor and Concubine Zhen, so he asked the servant to come in and serve."

The palace had strict laws and regulations. Eunuchs were not allowed to recognize godfathers or godmothers, and eunuchs and palace maids were not allowed to form cliques for personal gain. Therefore, Tang Shiliang called Wang Dequan "Master" when he was outside.

In fact, the emperor knew a little about the behavior of high-ranking eunuchs recognizing godparents, but eunuchs who had purged themselves would not have descendants even if they left the palace when they were old.

Wang Dequan had been serving him since he was six years old. For more than twenty years, even if he adopted seven or eight adopted sons, the emperor would turn a blind eye.

Emperor Xuanwu raised his eyes and glanced at Tang Shiliang, doubtful in his heart. Wang Dequan was not such a rash person. He would not kowtow to anyone.

Emperor Xuanwu would not fail to hear such an obvious refusal, but thinking that he was still dining with Concubine Zhen, if the old man was really injured, it would not be appropriate for him to appear in front of Concubine Zhen, so he put it aside for

the time being. Chef Gao Yu cooked on the spot, allowing Jiang Xinyue to eat the phoenix fish she had been craving for, which made her appetite open.

Xi Que hinted to Emperor Xuanwu: "Your Majesty, you ate one or two more rice today than the previous two days. It seems that Chef Gao Yu's cooking skills have improved again."

Jiang Xinyue's face flushed. She quickly put down the silver chopsticks and glared at Xi Que angrily: "You also think I eat too much, don't you?"

Xi Que immediately picked up the silver chopsticks and put them in her hand: "How dare I, Your Majesty? I was just flattering you about your good appetite. When the little prince or princess is born, he will definitely be in good health."

Jiang Xinyue, who was easily coaxed into happiness, shook her head proudly: "Of course! He will be in as good health as his father. "

Tang Shiliang thought of what his godfather had just told him at the door about how he was injured, and suddenly asked, "Is this chef Gao Yu the one who made barbecue and fried chicken at the New Year's Eve banquet and amazed the foreign envoys?"

Jiang Xinyue had finished eating and moved into Emperor Xuanwu's arms, finding a comfortable position on his legs to lie down: "Eunuch Tang, it's him. He learned those two dishes very seriously."

Emperor Xuanwu finally remembered that there was such a thing, and Wang Dequan had told him that the previous manager of the Yu kitchen was old and had been released from the palace as per the rules, and the position of chief steward had been vacant for a long time.

"I heard from Wang Dequan that the former chief steward of the Yu Kitchen has been released from the palace. Why hasn't the Ministry of Internal Affairs sent anyone up yet? I think this chef Gao Yu is very..."

"The Empress is here--"

As Jiang Chuan shouted, a scarlet figure came in with a shivering figure.

The figure knelt down and crawled: "Your servant... Your servant Li Guitian from the Yu Kitchen, beg the emperor, beg eunuch Wang to forgive me!"

Jiang Xinyue didn't even raise her eyes. She took the napkin handed to her by Xi Que and wiped her mouth. She and the emperor drank some lemon water to rinse their mouths. She

gracefully asked the palace maids to clean up the table, and then she stood up to meet the empress.

Queen Zhu was angry with her at this time. In the morning, her brother went to Yikun Palace and said that Jiang Xinyue did not testify against Jin Jiadalang at all, so that the Zhu family's arrangements were in vain.

Just when they were about to have lunch, Li Guitian, the idiot, came to her again, saying that he accidentally hurt Wang Dequan when he was arguing with Gao Yuchu.

Because the argument was all for the queen and Zhenpin, she didn't even eat, and had to bring Li Guitian to Hexi Palace in person.

She thought the maidservant beside Jiang Xinyue had already complained, and hurried forward: "Your Majesty, this dog slave used my name to bully the emperor in the kitchen and injured Wang Dequan. I really didn't know anything. Wang..."

"What did you say?"

The emperor stood up with a "whoosh", his eyes were angry and shocked: "Wang Dequan was beaten by him?"

The queen was still in surprise, looking at Jiang Xinyue. Jiang Xinyue, who was looked at by her, shook her head to indicate that she didn't say anything. What

did she need to say?

Wang Dequan's head was split open, and there was some blood on Xi Que's sleeves. He must have been seriously injured.

The emperor has his own eyes, and Wang Dequan has his own mouth. Instead of letting her say it as if she is trying to sow discord, it is better to let Wang Dequan say it herself, so as to prevent the emperor from suspecting that she and Wang Dequan are too close.

Who is Wang Dequan?

He is also a wolf who has gone through five gates and killed six generals, and eliminated all those ruthless people who coveted the position of eunuch chief steward around the emperor. Can he swallow his anger and not retaliate?

Li Guitian is dreaming!

"Dog slave, get out!"

Emperor Xuanwu kicked Li Guitian away and strode out. Behind him, Empress Zhu, Jiang Xinyue and others followed him out.

"Tang Shiliang, where is your master? Let him come out!"

He is the emperor of Dayan, and his people are being bullied and he has to hide so that he can't see it. What's the reason?

Wang Dequan had already heard the emperor's roar. He endured the severe pain in his head and walked out of the side hall. However, he didn't have time to change his blood-stained clothes, and the white bandage on his head was not professionally bandaged.

He avoided her eyes, his hands hung at his sides, grabbing his eunuch uniform, and he looked as miserable as a white flower destroyed in the cold wind.

Jiang Xinyue applauded Wang Dequan in her heart. He was already forty years old, and he could still act out the fragility of such an innocent white flower. It was really rare.

So she widened her eyes, carefully observed from head to toe, from left to right, and simulated in her mind how she would act.

Eunuch Wang's hands acted the best. The fingers grabbing the hem of his clothes were panic-stricken and pitiful.

She would try it next time.

Her expression was one of shock to Empress Zhu, which meant that Jiang Xinyue had no idea that Wang Dequan was injured and had not complained to the emperor.

In her anxiety, she lifted a stone and dropped it on her own feet again.

It seemed that she could not judge others by her own standards next time. Concubine Zhen was indeed on her side and would not do anything to harm her behind her back.

Jiang Xinyue: You are too happy too early!

Wang Dequan summoned the imperial physician to rebandage the wound on his forehead. The half-finger-long wound made Emperor Xuanwu feel pain.

If he felt pain, others would lose half their lives.

Li Guitian had all his gold and silver confiscated, and was demoted to a commoner and expelled from the palace. In addition, Emperor Xuanwu issued an express order not to open a restaurant or wine shop using the dishes he learned in the palace, or to apply for a job as a chef. In short, his career as a chef was cut off.

If he dared to disobey, he would be beheaded.
