Chapter 75 We Leave the Palace
"come out."
As soon as the emperor left, Nanny Liu shouted loudly.
Frost and Snow came out from the corner, her eyes still staring blankly in the direction the emperor had left.
Aunt Liu slapped her in the face with a gloomy expression.
"What are you doing?"
Shuangxue covered her face and said aggrievedly: "Godmother, I didn't do anything."
"Do you think I'm blind? Your eyes almost popped out when you looked at His Majesty just now. Do you think His Majesty didn't notice?"
"I... I just took a look. I didn't do anything." Shuangxue lowered her head and muttered, "Is it not okay to just take a look?"
"You can't even take a look." Madam Liu said angrily, "If your majesty hadn't shown mercy back then, you would have ended up like those palace maids who died in Guanghua Palace."
Thinking of that incident, Frost Snow's face was full of horror, but when she thought of the emperor, she couldn't help feeling wronged and sad, and she started crying.
Madam Liu sighed, "Shuangxue, we servants must know ourselves. The emperor is not something people like us can imagine."
Shuangxue murmured, "I know, godmother."
Madam Liu said, "You don't have to stand guard in front during the day anymore."
"yes."
Frost and Snow lowered her eyes, feeling actually very unconvinced.
Didn't Xiaojiu follow His Majesty well? Since Xiaojiu could do it, maybe she could do it too. Besides, it had been several years since that incident, and the emperor might have forgotten her a long time ago.
…
The emperor brought back a white porcelain vase with blue and white flowers, put the flowers he picked today in it and placed it on the table, which made him feel better.
The Queen Mother was in a bad mood.
She didn't eat lunch and didn't want to endure that anger, but the imperial kitchen was unwilling to prepare it anymore. Even if they did, it would be bland and watery. It was based on the standards that the empress dowager had given to His Majesty.
If the emperor can eat it, then the empress dowager can eat it too.
The current head steward of the imperial kitchen is called Zhang An. He was suppressed by Qin Bao in the past, and the meals he served to the emperor were not very good. Everyone in the imperial kitchen knew about it, but they dared not say anything. The emperor just wanted to eat such light food.
Zhang An was speechless. The emperor was also a human being. Even if he was a vegetarian, he couldn't eat something so bland and tasteless...
However, his influence was not taken seriously, and after he raised doubts several times, Qin Bao became displeased with him and usually asked him to do odd jobs.
Zhang An originally thought that this was how his life would be.
Until one day someone found him.
It was Xiao Fuzi, a subordinate of the emperor.
Zhang An is not a fool. Xiao Fuzi is Eunuch Li’s apprentice, so their meaning is the same as the emperor’s meaning.
Xiao Fuzi gave him a simple task, which was to keep an eye on the people in the imperial kitchen to make sure they didn't poison the emperor.
Secondly, we need to find out who Qin Bao’s men are here.
Zhang An was also very obedient. During this autumn hunt, Xiao Fuzi gave him some poisonous mushrooms. Zhang An hesitated, but he soon figured it out.
Since you have decided to follow the emperor, you must stick to it and not waver. Fortune and wealth can only be achieved through risk...
He did it secretly and no one knew about it. Sure enough, not long after, several concubines were poisoned.
The emperor didn't drink because he had no appetite.
Then Qin Bao was investigated and arrested, and also his men were arrested, all according to his list.
Now, only some neutral people who were previously oppressed and a few people recruited by Zhang An are left in the imperial kitchen.
They are all loyal to the emperor.
Because of the shortage of manpower, the meal prepared by the imperial kitchen today was very simple. As for the Queen Mother...
Just follow the standards of previous emperors.
No one could tell what was wrong. If the empress dowager came and asked for vegetables or meat, she couldn't give them to them. There were limits on how much they should give and they couldn't be given to anyone casually. This was also a rule set by Qin Baoding.
The Queen Mother was so angry that she hasn't eaten a single bite of food yet.
She always felt unsatisfied when she disgusted the emperor in the past. Now that it was her turn, she realized that it was actually very uncomfortable to not eat well.
Wang Decai said, "My queen, please be patient and wait for Prince Ruyang to come back."
Thinking of Prince Ruyang, the Queen Mother's expression finally relaxed a little.
"It's a pity that the assassins failed to kill him this autumn."
Wang Decai frowned: "Madam, do you think the assassin this time is the prince's man?"
The Queen Mother doesn't know either.
Her son was not a bad person, but everyone said that the emperor was smart and never saw the good in her son.
The late emperor was like that, and so were those ministers and dignitaries.
If only that bastard didn't exist... If only he didn't exist...
…
In this way, the meal originally intended for the emperor was sent to the empress dowager. As for the emperor, Zhang An was quite capable and had his own unique skills. Even vegetarian dishes could be made very delicious. With An Jiu's extra meal, the emperor had a very full dinner.
After eating, he felt better and went to bed early at night. As usual, An Jiu was woken up by the tyrant.
An Jiu has gotten used to it and just treats it as a night shift.
She yawned and asked, "What would your majesty like to eat?"
Tyrant: "I'm not hungry."
The emperor ate a lot in the evening, so of course he was not hungry.
But why wake her up if she's not hungry?
The tyrant took out five round gold ingots from his arms.
An Jiu was stunned, and reached out to take it: "This... is so embarrassing."
The tyrant said: "Let's...get out..."
"Where are you going?"
An Jiu thought that going out meant leaving Guanghua Palace, but the tyrant meant leaving the palace.
By the time An Jiu realized this, she was already standing outside the palace gate.
Looking at the towering imperial palace behind him, An Jiu was still a little bit unbelievable.
It just came out so fresh and clear?
She turned to look at the tyrant, and an idea suddenly came to her head.
Can I just run away like this...
But An Jiu quickly rejected his idea.
All under heaven belongs to the king. If she runs away now, she will be caught before she can leave the capital. It is better to be honest and wait until she reaches Liu Ma's age. The emperor will ask her whether she wants to leave without her asking.
An Jiu came back to his senses and looked at the tyrant: "Your Majesty, let's go back."
If something happened to the emperor outside the palace, she couldn't take the responsibility.
"No……"
The tyrant insisted on not going back, and Anjiu had no choice, but where to go? Anjiu had not visited the capital since she came here, and she didn't know if there were still people on the street at this time.
There are facts, and quite a lot of them.
Especially on the main street, the whole street is lit with lanterns, and many snack shops are open at night, that is...
Isn't it said that people in ancient times were more reserved? How could a girl go out with a man arm in arm in the middle of the night and act affectionate?
The more I walked, the more I felt that the style of painting was wrong.
Until he saw several girls flirting with the tyrant, and the tyrant's eyes were very gloomy, he sniffed, and there seemed to be doubt in his eyes...
An Jiu felt strange: "Your Majesty, are you okay?"
The tyrant completely ignored it until one of the scantily clad girls twisted her waist and stuffed a handkerchief into the tyrant's hand...
Snap...
The next second, there was a crisp sound from the girl's wrist. An Jiu covered her mouth before she screamed and stuffed two small gold ingots in her hand.
"One goes to the clinic to treat his injuries, and the other is considered compensation." An Jiu said in a low voice.
The girl looked at the gold ingot and nodded tactfully.
An Jiu let her go, she glared at the tyrant, turned around and left angrily.
An Jiu also pulled the tyrant away.
"No." The tyrant growled.
An Jiu coaxed him: "Your Majesty, this is not a place to play, this is all a brothel."
The whole street is filled with people selling snacks...
An Jiuke didn't dare to leave, as others would doubt her profession.
The tyrant shook off her hand and said angrily: "I won't leave..."
An Jiu "..."
What a naughty child.
real.
I wonder how the emperor will react tomorrow if he finds out that he walked around the red-light district and was molested by a prostitute.
An Jiu frowned and asked him: "Why don't you leave? Is this a good place? Don't you think you are not interested in women?"
Oh, man...
You say you don't like women, but you go out to visit a brothel in the middle of the night. You are amazing!!!
