Chapter 315: Suspicion 2

Chapter 315 Suspicion 2

The wise king thought that the British Duke thought the same thing as him, and asked: "Who?"

 The British Duke said, "Ye Shan! Or Qin Yu!"

From the British Duke’s perspective, Ye Shan had a grudge against the Yang family. Now that she had left the British Duke’s residence, she was looking for an opportunity to take revenge and come back.

The Xian Wang thought for a while, shook his head and said, "Probably not. My aunt and uncle have reconciled. She has gotten rid of her grandmother, so there is no need to do such a thing again.

As for Mrs. Qin, it is even more unreasonable. If Mrs. Qin wanted to deal with her grandmother, she would have taken action long ago and would not wait until this time.

I think their motives are insufficient, and it’s hard for women to be cruel!

 I feel that my uncle is more likely to do this.

As soon as his uncle returned to Beijing, Mr. Ye asked him to reconcile, and his uncle agreed. With his uncle's temperament, if he hadn't been provoked by something, he would never agree to divorce. "

The British Duke stroked his beard and thought for a moment, then nodded and said: "Your Majesty's analysis is reasonable. Ding Kunji respects the Ye family and will not easily agree to divorce.

 However, Dingkun has always been gentle towards others, how could he be so cruel? "

The wise king picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea. He disagreed with the British Duke's statement. A general who commanded thousands of troops and fought on the battlefield was gentle to others?

“Even if my uncle is gentle to others, the rabbit will bite when he gets angry, and his grandmother will break up his family, but he will let others bully him without fighting back?

From my perspective, if my grandmother hadn't died and my uncle had to be filial to Ding You, how could my grandmother still be alive? "

The British Duke was silent. He had already known the answer in his heart. Even if Yang was not Lu Dingkun’s biological mother, she was still his nominal mother. Matricide was a heinous crime.

The wise king continued: "However, think about what my grandmother did. If someone were cruel, he would have attacked her long ago. Why would he wait until today?"

The British Duke sighed: "Having said that, this is a serious crime of treason. How dare he Dingkun?"

The wise king said disapprovingly: "A general who commands thousands of troops and has many capable people under his command will naturally not let anyone find any clues when doing this. Besides, my grandmother is not my uncle's biological mother. There is no such thing as treachery in my uncle's heart."

The British Duke sighed slightly and said: "If this is really the case, if something like this happens, it will be a misfortune for the family!"

The wise king consoled him: "Among our big families, who has no trouble? The Duke of the country wants to be more liberal. We should think carefully about how to turn bad things into things that are good for us."

The British Duke nodded, "Yes, Zixun did a good job in today's matter. I will go back and take care of him later."

The wise king nodded, "Yes, I know it well. This matter..."

King Qin came out of the British government, and Ruan Chu asked: "Is the prince still returned to Yamen?"

 King Qin shook his head and said, "I'm not going, I'm going back to the palace."

 After saying that, King Qin got on the chariot, Ruxuan drove the chariot, and Ruan Chu rode beside him.

Back to the palace, King Qin asked: "Has the princess come to the palace?"

The servant leaned forward and said, "Go back to your lord, the princess has come over. She is currently in Shaohua Pavilion."

After hearing this, King Qin quickly walked to Shaohua Pavilion.

Laishun received the letter from King Qin returning to the palace and hurried out to welcome him. At the door, he met King Qin with raised eyebrows and brisk steps. Before he could greet him, King Qin asked: "Where is Xiaoyu? Where are you now?"

Lai Shun leaned forward and said, "Go back to your lord, the princess is in the kitchen right now."

King Qin asked as he walked inside, "Has Xiaoyu taken a rest at noon?"

"Back to the prince, the princess did not take a lunch break and went to the kitchen after lunch."

  King Qin nodded, "I know."

The King of Qin entered the house, washed his hands and face, changed into his home robe, and then turned to go to the kitchen.

When Shi Niang saw King Qin coming, she was about to greet him, but King Qin stopped her.

King Qin signaled Shi Niang to be silent. Shi Niang nodded understandingly and left with Lonicera quietly.

 Gu Huayu said while cutting the ginger: "Shi Niang, you said you should have told me earlier that you took off your shoes to look for the prince. I told you already."

 King Qin walked up behind Gu Huayu, put his arms around her, and asked in a low voice: "Are you so sure that I am the person Shi Niang is looking for?"

Gu Huayu's hands froze, stopped what she was doing, looked up at King Qin, and asked with a smile: "Of course, there are not many people with seven-star moles in the world. When did you come back?"

King Qin lowered his head and kissed Gu Huayu's forehead, "I just came back. Didn't I tell you to take a lunch break first and we can do it together when I come back?"

Gu Huayu asked: "Are you sure you can do it?"

King Qin smiled and said truthfully: "No, but I can give you a hand. If it doesn't work, I will talk to you on the side. As long as I am with you and look at you, I will be happy."

Gu Huayu put the chopped **** into a plate, "Okay, can you make a fire?"

King Qin walked to the fire hall and sat down, "I've never given birth before. I'll give it a try. It shouldn't be difficult."

"Then let me teach you first." Gu Huayu walked over and squatted next to King Qin. She reached out and grabbed a handful of flammable wood flowers in her hand, lit it with a fire stick to start the fire, and then put the firewood in one by one.

"The firewood should be set up, leaving some space, and not being packed too tightly. The burning process of firewood requires enough oxygen. If there is space and enough oxygen, the fire will be strong."

King Qin looked sideways at Gu Huayu and asked, "Xiaoyu, what is oxygen?"

Gu Huayu wanted to bite off her tongue. Just make a fire and light a fire. She said something about oxygen.

“What, I used to help my grandma make fires when I was a child, and I picked it up casually based on my experience.”

King Qin showed no doubts and nodded in agreement, "Give it to me, I'll do it."

Gu Huayu handed the tongs to King Qin, got up and went to wash the pot and prepare for cooking.

King Qin half stood up, looked at Gu Huayu, and asked, "Xiaoyu, what are you burning?"

Gu Huayu stretched out her hand and tried it. She felt that the pot was hot. She poured the marinated duck meat into it and stir-fried it while saying, "Ginger-fried duck."

 King Qin sent two pieces of firewood to the fire hall, stood up straight and watched Gu Huayu skillfully pick up the fried duck meat that had changed color.

Quickly washed the pot, and when it was hot, Gu Huayu poured oil into the pot, put down rock sugar and Sichuan peppercorns, the rock sugar turned into sugar color, added garlic slices, then poured in duck meat and stir-fried, added rice wine, and then added homemade Doubanjiang.

 “Qingyan, change to small fire.”

King Qin responded: "Okay." After saying that, he took out the firewood from the fire hall.

“Xiaoyu often cooks at home?” King Qin asked.

Gu Huayu shook her head, "With grandma, eldest uncle, and second uncle here, I basically don't have the chance to cook, but after watching it too much, I will naturally be able to do it."

The duck was simmering in the big pot. Gu Huayu opened the lid of the casserole on the small stove, and the rich aroma of chicken soup came out.

 “Chicken soup? It smells so good!” King Qin walked over and asked.

Gu Huayu nodded and added salt to the pot as she said, "Yes, stewed chicken soup."

Then he tasted it and felt it was enough. He picked up the casserole, put the small pot on the fire, and started frying the tofu.

King Qin looked at the tofu in the pot and asked, "What is this?"

 “Tofu with eggs, egg tofu.”

King Qin said: "No wonder it is yellow, it looks delicious."

Gu Huayu said: "It's not bad. I like this dish. Fry the tofu until both sides are brown, add shrimp, some diced peppers, minced green onion, cook it, and it becomes a shrimp and tofu stew. It's soft and delicious."

 “I feel good listening to you.”

Gu Huayu finished frying the tofu and started frying the shrimps. Then she added the prepared sauce, covered it and simmered.

 “Cook it for a while and wait until the flavor is absorbed.”

After saying that, Gu Huayu turned around and opened the pot on the other stove, opened the lid and took out the mandarin fish from the pot, poured the homemade sauce on it, and put the sliced ​​ginger, green onions and peppers on top of the fish. Then heat the oil in a small pot and bring the boiling hot oil to the boil.

 “Beautiful! The colors match so beautifully.” King Qin couldn’t help but admire.

Gu Huayu smiled, accepted King Qin's praise, turned around and started cooking the tofu.

Hand the chopsticks to King Qin, "Have a taste."

King Qin took the chopsticks and picked up a small piece of tofu. Just as he was about to put it into his mouth, Gu Huayu reminded: "Qingyan, blow it first, be careful not to burn it."

 The King of Qin quickly blew it and put it into his mouth.

Gu Huayu looked at King Qin eagerly and asked, "How is it?"

King Qin was amazed by the delicious and soft tofu. He gave Gu Huayu a thumbs up, "It's so delicious. I swear, this is the most delicious dish I have ever eaten. It's really, no exaggeration."

 Gu Huayu's face showed a bit of pride, she turned around and opened the lid of the big pot, stir-fried with a spatula, and said to King Qin: "Qingyan, big fire."

"Okay, come on." King Qin put down his chopsticks and walked over to add firewood to the fire hall.

Gu Huayu put the **** slices and chili shreds into the pot and stir-fried, then added the prepared sauce, wait until the flavor is absorbed, and put it on a plate.

 After washing the pot, add oil and blanch the prepared cabbage.

 “Okay, annealing.”

 The king of Qin took out the firewood.

Gu Huayu said while washing her hands: "Get ready to eat."

The King of Qin nodded and called out to the door: "Come here, set the food."

 Laishun came in with the waiters, and those who took the bowls, chopsticks, and dishes were all busy.

 King Qin took Gu Huayu's hand and went to the dining room. On the way, he met Ruan Chu who was returning from checking the post. Ruan Chu bowed to the two of them.

Gu Huayu warmly invited: "General Ruan hasn't eaten yet? Come and eat together."

Ruan Chu quickly shook his head, "How can I disturb the wonderful time that the prince and the princess are getting together?

I won’t go. What if the princess cooks a lot of food, give some to me, I will be very grateful. "

Gu Huayu was just about to say that everyone should eat together. What she was cooking today was whole chickens and whole ducks. There were so many dishes that she and King Qin couldn't finish.

King Qin was the first to say: "For the sake of General Ruan's taste, I will give you some vegetables."

 Ruan Chu bowed and thanked: "Thank you very much, Your Majesty."

King Qin led Gu Huayu forward. Gu Huayu turned her head and looked at King Qin and said, "Wouldn't it be more lively if we all eat together?"

King Qin squeezed her hand and whispered: "He will feel uncomfortable."

Gu Huayu understood instantly and her face turned a little red. He said softly: "Should we be more restrained in front of others?"

King Qin held Gu Huayu's hand tightly and said, "No, you are the one who is at the top of my heart. They are the ones who serve me closely. They know that you are very important to me, so there is no need to avoid them."

Gu Huayu smiled and said no more.

They went to the dining room and took their seats. King Qin first filled half a bowl of chicken soup for Gu Huayu and said, "Thank you for your hard work. Let's drink some soup first."

Gu Huayu took the bowl and said, "Okay, you can drink it too and see what you think?"

  King Qin nodded, filled himself half a bowl and drank it with his head down.

Gu Huayu stared at King Qin and saw that he had taken a small sip first. Her eyes suddenly lit up and she looked up at her, "Xiaoyu, this soup is very delicious."

The corners of Gu Huayu's mouth turned up, "As long as you like it."

After King Qin drank the chicken soup, Gu Huayu gave King Qin a chopstick of fish meat and said, "Here, let's try the fish meat."

"Okay!" King Qin buried his head in eating. The fish was very tender and fresh. King Qin finished the bowl and picked up another chopstick. "Xiaoyu, this fish is delicious. It doesn't have any fishy smell. The meat is tender. I'm very happy." like."

Gu Huayu nodded, "As long as you like it, eat more."

The King of Qin ate several mouthfuls of fish before eating duck meat. He took a bite and said it was delicious.

 “Xiaoyu, I will eat enough today.”

Gu Huayu smiled but said nothing.

 At the end of the meal, as King Qin said, he was full.

The King of Qin was usually very self-disciplined and would only eat eight-cent full meals. Today he couldn't stop eating. Gu Huayu put away his chopsticks and took him for a walk in the yard to eat.

Ruan Chu saw the two people coming out and asked, "Princess, can I give today's recipe to Chef Du?"

Gu Huayu smiled, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll teach Chef Du how to make it later."

King Qin lowered his head and whispered to Gu Huayu: "I still want to eat what you cooked, and you can cook it for me in the future, okay?"

Gu Huayu raised her head and looked at King Qin. King Qin asked: "Xiaoyu, are you okay?"

Gu Huayu realized that she had no resistance at all to the handsome and unique Prince of Qin.

 “Okay, let’s do it for you!”

With a smile on his face, King Qin took Gu Huayu into his arms and said, "Xiaoyu, you are so kind."

Gu Huayu said softly: "Farewell! General Ruan is still here, calm down."

 The King of Qin did not let go and said softly: "Xin Yang is a gentleman and knows not to look at anything inappropriate."

Gu Huayu secretly looked towards Ruan Chu, and sure enough, she saw Ruan Chu going to the other side with his back to them.

Gu Huayu asked: "What's the situation in the British government? Is the old woman seriously injured?"

King Qin let go of Gu Huayu, put his hand on her shoulder, and carried her forward for a walk. "My hand tendons and hamstrings were picked apart, and my tongue was cut out."

Even though Gu Huayu was a doctor, hearing such injuries felt cruel.

"How much hatred must be caused to make her future life worse than death! Could it be the prince's doing?"

King Qin replied: "It may be, but there is no evidence. Concubine De and King Xian went to the father, and the father asked the Ministry of Punishment to cooperate with the Jingzhao Mansion to jointly investigate."

Gu Huayu said: "Did Concubine De and the people from the British government suspect you?"

 King Qin lowered his head and looked at Gu Huayu, nodded and said, "Yes, I just arrived at the British Duke's residence. Lu Zixun yelled at me like a mad dog, and Xinyang slapped him twice."

Gu Huayu asked, "Qingyan, did you go to the British Government House alone or with someone from the Ministry of Punishment?"

“What’s wrong with the people from the Ministry of Punishment?” King Qin asked.

Gu Huayu said worriedly: "Lv Zixun yelled at you in front of everyone? Did he do it on purpose?"

King Qin understood what Gu Huayu was worried about. He squeezed her shoulder gently and comforted her: "Don't worry, they just want to ruin my reputation. We are upright and not afraid of slanting shadows."
