No matter how Bai Zhonghe thought about it, he felt that something was not right, so shortly after Qu Li and Xiao Xian left, he asked someone to prepare a car and rushed over right after them.
Seeing that they were about to open the coffin, his face suddenly changed.
"Lord Chen, what are you doing?"
"Open the coffin!"
"Prince Chen, no matter what mistakes Bai Fengyao made in her life, death is like the end of a candle! By doing this, aren't you throwing the Bai family's reputation into the ground and trampling it on the ground?"
Before, because Bai Fengyao was Xiao Xian's savior, Xiao Xian also took good care of the Bai Mansion.
However, during this meeting, he had a vague feeling that the Bai family might be ruined in the future.
Qu Li stepped forward and said, "Master Bai, please don't get excited! It's still unknown whether the person in this coffin is Bai Fengyao."
"Bai Fengyao is dead! They say that when a person dies, it is like a light going out. Everything that was done before should be written off, right?" Bai Zhonghe's eyes were red.
"Master Bai, if there wasn't a reason, we wouldn't do this! After all, Bai Fengyao hanged herself to death. Her face was horrible. Just one look at it would give you nightmares!"
Bai Zhonghe stammered a few times, not knowing how to respond.
After a moment of silence, he retorted impatiently, "What's the reason? Could she come back to life and crawl out of the coffin on her own?"
Qu Li seemed to be smiling, but his eyes were extremely cold.
She had a good impression of Bai Ruowei and Madam Bai, but this Bai Zhonghe... was pretentious and selfish, just like Qu Yuxing!
"We'll soon find out whether he crawled out of the coffin on his own."
"Prince! Princess!" Guangping's expression was hard to describe.
Bai Zhonghe rushed forward and looked inside, his eyes widening. "What's going on?"
Qu Li raised his eyebrows: "Master Bai, what do you say?"
"It's impossible! Butler Bai has been loyal all these years, how could he possibly hide Bai Fengyao's body? What benefit would he get from doing this?" Bai Zhonghe was puzzled.
"Master Bai, have you ever thought that Bai Fengyao is not dead at all?"
"How is this possible? Bai Fengyao is indeed dead!" Bai Zhonghe glanced at Xiao Xian, beads of sweat oozing from his forehead. "Prince Chen, all of this was done by Bai Fengyao alone. I was not aware of it!"
Qu Li frowned slightly, and a hint of darkness flashed across his eyes.
When the Third Aunt bribed the waiter in Qingfeng Pavilion to tarnish her reputation, Qu Yuxing pushed the Third Aunt out without hesitation, without any regard for their old friendship.
Now, the same is true for Bai Zhonghe.
She was really worried about Bai Ruowei's marriage.
Xiao Xian glanced at him calmly, "This prince has made it very clear before, the Bai family is the Bai family, and Bai Fengyao is Bai Fengyao! Everything Bai Fengyao did has nothing to do with the Bai family! Lord Bai must still be resentful of this prince for spreading the news of Bai Fengyao's deception, right?"
Bai Zhonghe raised his head suddenly, and when he met his gloomy and deep cold eyes, he shuddered violently.
"I don't have such an idea!"
"Ha!" Xiao Xian scoffed and asked Guangping, "Did you find anything?"
"I'm investigating!"
Qu Li walked forward silently, staring at the coffin lid and observing carefully.
The person who came to pick up Bai Fengyao obviously had great internal strength. When he pulled out the nail, not a single sawdust was left.
Her space has everything except a fingerprint scanner.
"Have you found anything?" Xiao Xian came to her side.
"Nothing was found, the other party is a master!"
"This matter cannot be publicized. I will naturally have people continue to investigate!" Xiao Xian turned his head to look at the trembling Bai Zhonghe.
Bai Zhonghe didn't bother to wipe the sweat off his head, "I will definitely not talk nonsense."
Xiao Xian asked Guangping to restore everything and got on the carriage with Qu Li.
"I said before that I would arrange for the owner to go to Shanshan Healthy Food Restaurant. Would you like to stop by and take a look?"
Thinking that the Empress Dowager's condition was relatively stable, Fugui and Hailu had failed successively, and the Queen was also ill, she would probably not continue to make trouble, so Qu Li nodded in agreement.
Xiao Xian ordered the driver to change direction.
Soon, the carriage stopped outside the Shanshan Health Restaurant.
The shopkeeper was called Meng Zhi, who was in his thirties, with a round, chubby face and a smile on his face. He looked like a money-making and good-tempered man.
When he heard that Xiao Xian and Qu Li had arrived, he came out immediately.
"This subordinate greets the prince and princess!"
“No thanks!”
Qu Li took a look at the interior and nodded with satisfaction, "Shopkeeper Meng is really amazing!"
Because of the Empress Dowager, she had never been to Shanshan Health Restaurant, but she didn't expect that Meng Zhi could decorate the restaurant so artistically.
If she were a customer, she would fall in love with the environment and then fall in love with the food here.
"I heard the prince talk about the princess's preferences, and with the word 'health preservation' in mind, I took the initiative! Fortunately, the princess is satisfied, otherwise, I would have been terrified!"
Qu Li smiled and said, "Well done. Here are ten recipes for healthy dishes and ten recipes for medicinal dishes."
Meng Zhi took it with both hands, looked through it carefully, and asked doubtfully: "Princess, if these herbs are combined with other ingredients to make a medicinal and healthy dish, won't it affect the freshness of the ingredients?"
"Not really! You know, medicinal herbs are often also a kind of seasoning!"
"So there's actually such a thing."
"You can prepare the ingredients according to what's written here. I'll make a medicinal meal later, and you'll know after you try it!"
"This..." Meng Zhi turned his eyes and looked at Xiao Xian inquiringly.
Xiao Xian nodded and immediately ordered people to prepare.
Qu Li entered the kitchen, rolled up his sleeves, and revealed a pair of fair wrists.
Xiao Xian stood outside the door, watching quietly, his eyes growing brighter and brighter.
Meng Zhi whispered, "Your Highness, the princess can actually cook? That's quite impressive!"
The daughter of this wealthy family had never done any housework. He had only heard that Qu Li was an excellent doctor, and did not know that she could also cook, especially the medicinal food that was very difficult to make.
"My princess!" Xiao Xian raised his eyebrows proudly.
Meng Zhi pouted.
I don’t know who was dismissive of the princess before, and who was so angry when the princess was mentioned!
Man!
Oh!
What a fickle and capricious animal!
Xiao Xian frowned, his eyes dark and sharp, "Why are you pouting?"
"It's nothing, just a toothache!" Meng Zhi covered his cheek and pulled his lips stiffly.
Qu Li moved quickly, cutting the tofu into pieces as thin as hair, leaving the chef standing next to him stunned.
Soon, a sweet aroma wafted out of the kitchen, tantalizing people's taste buds and making their mouths water.
Xiao Xian came out in a hurry and didn't have breakfast. When he smelled the fragrance, his stomach growled a few times.
Meng Zhi's ears moved slightly: "Your Majesty, did you hear any sound just now?"
Xiao Xian glared at him and said angrily, "If you can't make a profit of ten thousand taels in the first month, you'll go back to Southern Qi!"
Meng Zhi hugged Xiao Xian's arm pitifully, crying in a boastful manner: "Your Majesty, how could you treat your subordinates like this!"
Qu Li turned his head following the sound, and saw the two of them being so intimate, his face full of horror.
