Chapter 986: A Visit to the Prince
Master Guoshi saw that her snow-white teeth were stained with dragon fruit seeds, and her lips were still stained with bright red juice. If it were someone else, it would definitely make people feel bored and bored, but with this cute and smart little face, it does not arouse people's disgust at all, but finds it interesting.
He pointed to the dragon fruit, which is an ornamental plant, and said with a half-smile: "You dare to steal this thing? Aren't you afraid it's poisonous?"
Gu Ye hurriedly knelt down and said, "If you go back to the teacher, I... have eaten this kind of fruit before my servant entered the palace. It's not poisonous, and it's quite delicious!"
"Oh? Have you ever eaten it?" This plant was introduced from southern Xinjiang. When it matures, the fruit shape and color are quite bright, so it is planted in the garden for viewing. No one ever thought of trying to see if it was edible.
Also, didn't you say that the little miracle doctor is from Dong Lingren? Later, she married King Ning... How did she know this kind of plant that is only found in southern Xinjiang, and even tasted it? There are more and more mysteries about this person in front of him, and the national teacher can't help paying attention.
Gu Ye nodded and said: "This is called dragon fruit. Its shape resembles fire, hence the name. It tastes sweet and delicious, not only non-toxic, but also good for the body!"
Master Guoshi suddenly thought of Gu Ye's identity. Her master, Medicine Sage, had traveled abroad for decades. He might have been to southern Xinjiang, seen and tasted such plants. As a disciple of the Medicine Sage, it is reasonable to have seen, tasted, and recognized this dragon fruit.
The national teacher picked a plump dragon fruit, peeled off the outer skin and tasted a couple of mouthfuls. Well, it does taste good.
Gu Ye couldn't help grinning, and said: "Master Guoshi is not afraid that I will lie, is this dragon fruit actually poisonous?"
"I have no grievances with you, why did you lie to me to harm me?" the national teacher asked back.
"You have a high position and authority, so there must be many people who want to kill you and replace you?" Gu Ye said.
The national teacher Qingcheng smiled: "There are indeed many people who miss me dead. After so many years, am I still standing here properly?"
Gu Ye was so fascinated by his inadvertent smile that he couldn't find Bei. After a while, he gave a thumbs up and said: "Confidence, arrogance! But self-confidence is not conceited, and the arrogance is admirable! Admiration!"
"Which palace are you a little maid of honor? It's quite interesting to talk!" The Master of the State Teacher asked knowingly, wanting to see her reaction.
Gu Ye slapped his forehead, picked up the chicken soup that was on the ground, and pretended to be flustered: "Oh, I forgot about the business. My lord, the servant was ordered to deliver food to His Royal Highness, please forgive me for being rude! "
slipped away? Actually slipped away in such a grandiose manner? Master Guoshi raised his eyebrows and did not stop her. The future is long, isn't it?
With such a delay, Gu Ye and Concubine Yin perfectly staggered. When she arrived at the East Palace, Concubine Yin had just left. Logically speaking, there should be quite a few servants and maids in the Crown Prince's Mansion in the East Palace. Gu Ye came all the way with chicken soup in his hands, but he didn't see many of them.
Occasionally, I met one, and no one asked me when I saw her face-to-face. Tsk! How unfavorable this prince is! Biyan Kingdom was still the prince of the fourth prince at that time, and his treatment was worse. Is this one of them worse than anyone else?
There is also Prince Li Guoyuan, there is a brother who is always watching his position, he burps at a young age... "Prince" is a high-risk occupation, the appraisal is complete!
Pulling a little maid, Gu Ye asked about the palace where the prince lived. Gu Ye replaced the cold chicken soup with a cup of hot one, opened the door and walked in.
"Who let you in? There are no rules!" The servant next to the prince was chosen by Princess Linlang, so loyalty is naturally out of the question. When Princess Linlang was around, she managed the East Palace in an orderly manner. At that time, it would not be so easy for Gu Ye to come in.
The crown prince glanced at her half-new, not-so-fitting court lady's gown, frowned, and asked in a harmonious voice, "Are you a new transfer? I haven't seen you before!"
Gu Ye smiled and said: "The maidservant is from the small kitchen of the Liang Palace, and was ordered to deliver chicken soup to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
"Oh? Concubine Yin came here just now, why didn't you mention this?" Ford, the servant next to the prince, looked at her suspiciously. In the past, when His Highness the Crown Prince was in poor health, his brothers believed that he was about to die, so he didn't move so much.
After the prince took the pills, he had only been in good health for two days, but he couldn't hold back and made various small movements. The supplies and food delivered were all debilitating.
Ford has undergone special training and is relatively sophisticated in this regard. Those dirty things were cleaned out by him before they came into contact with the prince. Concubine Yin gave chicken soup to the prince, is she so kind?
The emperor of Sen Kingdom was obsessed with alchemy, and he wanted to live forever. For the concubines in the harem, it is inevitable to be left out in the cold. However, Concubine Yin is a special existence. For other concubines, it is normal not to see the emperor for three to five months, and even if they are not favored for a year, they may not be favored by the emperor once.
Concubine Yin is different, although she is soft and weak, she does not fight or grab, but the emperor will stay in her palace several times a month. Sometimes when the emperor was tired of alchemy, he would call her over to talk. It can be said that Concubine Yin is the most favored concubine in the harem, bar none.
The reason why the emperor treats her differently is not only because of her soft voice and gentle temperament, but also because she took good care of the two children left by her after the queen passed away—Princess Linlang and the prince.
Concubine Yin had a difficult labor when she gave birth to the fifth prince. Perhaps it was because of the long time spent in the stomach, the Fifth Prince's intellectual development was slower than that of ordinary children. Now that he is twelve, he still only has the IQ of a six or seven-year-old child.
However, due to her contribution to raising the crown prince and the first princess, even noble concubines with higher status than her in the harem would not dare to underestimate her. The crown prince and Princess Linlang are also grateful, and they love and respect Concubine Yin...
However, ever since Princess Linlang went to Yan Kingdom to seek medical treatment for the crown prince, Fude noticed that Concubine Yin had changed. Although she often came to see the prince, her eyes showed hidden sarcasm and a touch of pity from time to time. However, she hid it very well, and sometimes Ford felt that she was being overwhelmed.
When the news came that Princess Linlang was hunted down all the way to Yan Country and nearly killed her, Fude had to think deeply—not much was known about going to Yan Country to seek medical treatment. This targeted interception again and again was obviously prepared and premeditated!
The purpose of hunting down the princess is naturally to prevent her from seeking medical treatment. The prince's illness will not be cured, and of course his brothers will benefit.
Concubine Yin hurt her body when she gave birth to the fifth prince, and her stomach hasn't moved at all for more than ten years. The fifth prince has long been excluded from the heir to the throne because of his intelligence. Logically speaking, she is the least likely to harm the prince and Princess Linlang.
However, apart from their siblings, Concubine Yin knew about Princess Linlang seeking medical treatment... Maybe he was overwhelmed, and it was possible that the news was leaked by someone. However, my intuition told Fude that Concubine Yin is not an easy person!
He raised his eyes and glanced at the little maid holding the chicken soup, he stepped forward to take the chicken soup, put it under his nose and sniffed it gently. It smells so good! The secretion of saliva in Ford's mouth accelerated instantly, if he hadn't swallowed heavily, it would almost flow out.
"Have you changed the cook in the small kitchen of the Raoliang Palace?" The prince also smelled the aroma of chicken soup. Due to long-term medication and physical reasons, it is difficult for him to have food that can arouse his appetite. He barely eats food every day, but he doesn't want to make his dilapidated body weaker.
He is still very open to death. It's just that I don't want to upset the people I care about. My sister has paid so much for him. For her, he can last one more day!
However, the strong aroma of this chicken soup actually aroused his appetite that had been silent for a long time, and made him have the desire to eat, which is indeed quite surprising.
Gu Ye hesitated and said: "It seems that the cook has not been changed, right? The slaves have just been assigned to the Raoliang Hall, so I don't know."
"If the cook hasn't changed, then the cook's skill has improved!" The prince smiled and glanced at Ford.
Ford took two mouthfuls from the cup and tasted it—it was so delicious! It's really fragrant! Uh... this is the prince's chicken soup, he knows he shouldn't covet it, but...
"What? Is there something wrong with this soup?" Seeing that Ford took a sip and took another sip, and didn't bring the chicken soup for a long time, the prince couldn't help asking.
"Prince, the taste of this chicken soup is not quite right. The servant will taste it again, and there will be results!"
When Ford was about to pour out the chicken soup, Gu Ye couldn't help but said: "My lord, if you try it again, the chicken soup will be gone!"
"Things that go into the mouth of the prince should be cautious and careful. Poisonous poisons are easy to distinguish, but they may be chronic. The prince's body can't help the slightest disturbance!" Ford said with a righteous look.
Gu Ye saw through his thoughts, shrugged his shoulders, and said, "That's fine, you can taste it slowly. When you're done tasting, remember to give me this bowl. I've got a job to do when I go back!"
I wonder if Concubine Yin has noticed that she is missing now! If found, where would Concubine Yin want to search the first time?
"Master..." A clever little eunuch rushed in from the outside, his feet slipped on the wooden floor, and he almost didn't sit on the floor.
Ford stared at him bitterly: "Why are you arguing? I don't even look at where this place is. If you quarrel with the prince, I can't keep your head!"
The prince smiled, and said indifferently: "Don't scold him! I told him to follow Concubine Yin and report something! It's better for Xiao Guozi to have a more lively personality. Our East Palace can be quite lively with him around. !"
Ford accompanied him with a smile, then glared at Xiao Guozi: "Excuse me, the prince, if you changed to another palace, your kid's ass would have been blown out! Come on, where did Concubine Yin go and who did she meet? "
Xiao Guozi sniffled, stared at the chicken soup in Master's hands, and said absently: "Concubine Yin hastily left the East Palace and hurried to the Raoliang Hall. It seems that there is something urgent!"
At this time, Concubine Yin should have realized that she was gone, she must be mad, right? Thinking of that gentle and serene face, showing a desperate ferocity, Gu Ye was stunned.
