emperor cold concubine

Chapter 263
A light blue gown looked a bit messy. Chu Han, who had always been calm and stable, looked a little haggard, his eyes were black and blue, his lips were slightly peeled due to lack of moisture, and his eyes were slightly bloodshot , the face that used to be beautiful and impeccable, now looks extremely embarrassed due to excessive fatigue.

Fourteen couldn't bear to see it. It looked like a refugee, why didn't he drink water these days?

Nangong Xuanshang also twitched the corners of his mouth. He never thought that a letter from him could turn a suave and unrestrained young man into a fugitive wanted criminal within a few days, and he couldn't help but feel a little guilty.I don't know how Mr. Yue Xiao said to Chu Han, it seemed that he was desperate to run all the way here.

"Get up." Cang Hao said lightly, "Take care of yourself for a while, and then go to Yuntai Hall for dinner. Nanfeng, take him there."

Chu Han stood up, but said: "This subordinate wants to give the master a pulse."

"I don't want to repeat what I said." Cang Hao ignored him, left a few words, and turned around to leave.

Chu Han had no choice but to say: "Yes."

He lowered his head and looked at himself in a state of disarray, and it was indeed too shameful. After reading the letter Yue Xiao received, he thought that something had happened to the master, which frightened him, so he rushed over non-stop. This journey of seven or eight days, he He abruptly shortened the time by half, and brought some dry food with him. Unless his physical needs were met, he even ate on the horse. Not to mention he was an iron man, he didn’t feel anything when he was on the road. Only now did he really feel tired and exhausted, hungry and hungry. Hungry.

The Yuntai Hall has two side halls, east and west. The west side hall is temporarily occupied by Princess Cang Yunxi, and the east side hall is vacant. Feng sent someone to inform him that the tables and chairs had been prepared in advance, and some desserts before the meal were also served.

Following Cang Hao before entering the side hall, Shisi looked at the closed main entrance with a nervous expression on his face, and after entering the side hall, he just stood aside and did not speak.

Cang Hao casually sat down on a chair, lazily relaxed his body, and said lightly, "Give me a shoulder squeeze."

Fourteen was overjoyed when he heard the words, and hurriedly said, "Yes."

He walked forward and stood behind Cang Hao. Although he seldom did this kind of work of serving others, he watched Nanfeng Nanyun do it all day for the past two years. After a long time, he would naturally get used to it. When he has a whim, he will squeeze the shoulders and beat the legs of his mother and concubine to show filial piety, and he has mastered the strength and acupuncture points by seven or eight points.

After the meal at Lixuan Palace last time, Yue Xiao mercilessly ordered dozens of royal chefs who had malicious intentions to be punished. Not only was Shanshi beaten, but he was also fined half a year's salary. The imperial cook and kitchen servants admitted defeat and cut it by half.

After that, Nan Yunfeng’s service to Cang Hao was more meticulous and thoughtful. Every time the master had a meal, there would be someone following him all the way. The imperial chef in the imperial dining room did not dare to neglect the emperor’s meal. The imperial chef did not need to work hard He changed his tricks every day just to please His Majesty, but he never dared to use any dirty tricks, especially the thought of trying to get money from the emperor's imperial meal, and he restrained himself in an instant.

There is no grain of sand in Xindi's eyes. This sentence is definitely not a joke, and no one dares to take it as a joke.

However, Yue Xiao also understood at the same time that it would be difficult to support a family with a monthly salary of one or two hundred taels per person.Therefore, after punishing some dozens of greedy people by means of thunder, the salaries were raised at the same time, and all the expenses saved by the reduced personnel were added to the original salaries. After such an adjustment, From the head of the imperial kitchen to the handyman in the imperial kitchen, the salary almost doubled several times in an instant. Although they were punished, the result was completely unexpected.

Can get a higher salary without sneaking around, coupled with the awe of the new emperor, these imperial chefs have not obediently refrained from all the thoughts they shouldn't have, and do what they should do wholeheartedly?

What's more, the new emperor has never been demanding on meals. Each imperial meal only needs less than ten dishes. Compared with the ostentation of more than 100 dishes when Empress Murong was in the past, it is simply too easy to serve. The imperial chefs change their dishes every day. There is no need to spend too much effort to please the dishes, as long as the freshness of the meals is guaranteed. There are few masters in the palace, and the workload of the imperial dining room has been reduced by more than one level in an instant.

Because there were more people dining today, Nan Yun temporarily ordered the dining room to prepare more dishes. After the delicious and delicious royal meals were served one by one, Fourteen cautiously said: "Ninth Brother, Mo Li and Zi Yu..."

The reason why he wanted to eat here was naturally to ask Ninth Brother to pardon Mo Li and Zi Yu.

I thought it would not be so easy to get what I wanted, but Shisi just had the mentality of trying. I didn't expect Cang Hao to say calmly after hearing what he said: "Call the two of them over."

Fourteen was taken aback, then smiled, "Yes, thank you Brother Nine."

"Let's go." Nangong Xuanshang said in time, because Nanfeng and Nanyun were not here at this time, and Shisi was waiting by Canghao's side, so it was inconvenient to leave.

Fourteen nodded, "Thank you Brother Xuanshang."

"His Royal Highness, you are welcome." Nangong Xuanshang smiled faintly, turned around and walked out.

Only Cang Hao and 14 were left in the side hall, and their subordinates pinched Brother Jiu's shoulders and neck meticulously. Fourteen whispered: "Will Brother Ninth be angry?"

"Why are you angry?" Cang Hao asked casually.

Fourteen was silent for a while, the smile on his face disappeared, and he hesitated for a while and said: "I am not pleading for Mo Li and Zi Yu, but I guess they have thought about it for so long, and they probably have figured it out. If Brother Nine doesn't I like it, but I won’t dare to do it in the future.”

"Well, it's good to remember." Cang Hao's voice was light, and he couldn't hear any emotion, and naturally he didn't hear any displeasure in his tone. Fourteen was secretly relieved, but he completely forgot that he was always happy but not angry. Even if he is unhappy in his heart, Brother Nine has no ability to see or hear it.

"Does Brother Jiu miss his sister-in-law?"

Cang Hao smiled faintly, "Why, you also have to worry about this king's feelings?"

"No." Fourteen smiled shyly, "I'm just asking casually. It's been more than a month since Sister-in-law Jiu left, and I miss her a little bit."

Cang Hao hummed lightly, and didn't say anything more.

Fourteen slowly turned his head and saw Zi Yu and Mo Li walking in, followed by Nangong Xuanshang. Although the two of them looked normal, a perceptive person could easily detect that their walking posture was a little stiff—— —

Kneeling on the hard and cold floor tiles for more than ten hours, I am afraid that the knees must be red and swollen at this moment. Few ordinary people can bear the sharp and severe pain, and they can walk normally. The perseverance is extraordinary, otherwise, it is hard to say whether you can stand up straight.

In particular, Shisi frowned worriedly. The floor tiles were very cold and the time was too long. He was most afraid of the cold entering the body. If the root cause of the disease fell, it would be a trouble that could not be ignored.

The two walked up to Cang Hao, and were about to bend their knees, Cang Hao said calmly: "You don't need to kneel, you can use your own kung fu to heal your wounds and drive away the cold."

"Yes."

Mo Li and Zi Yu looked fine, pursed their lips, went to the side and sat down cross-legged, Fourteen was really relieved, he knew that if Brother Jiu didn't speak, Mo Li and Zi Yu would even It hurts to death, and I absolutely dare not exercise my kung fu to heal my injuries.Pain is still a trivial matter, the longer the cold accumulates in the body, the more unfavorable it will be for them.

When Nan Yun led the people to serve the last few dishes, Nan Feng and Chu Han just walked in, and everyone was present.

After taking care of his own Chu Han, he obviously took a bath in a hurry and changed into a clean crescent-colored brocade gown. His black hair was half-dried and his face was a bit haggard, but the whole person looked much more refreshed. He regained a bit of stability and handsomeness.

Seeing Mo Li and Zi Yu, who were sitting cross-legged on the ground with their eyes closed and exercising, although they felt strange, they didn't ask any more questions, but the slight worry still couldn't be erased from their eyes, and they walked up to Cang Hao. Before him, he squatted down and knelt down, "This subordinate will take the master's pulse."

Cang Hao seems to have really gotten used to this kind of situation recently, he didn't even bother to answer, he just put his wrist on the low table aside, and let him move.

Before Cang Hao returned to the imperial capital, Chu Han had been taking care of his body, and there were basically no problems with his body, but he was not negligent in the slightest when he asked for pulse regularly.Of course, the most important thing to check the pulse is to ensure the health of the master. Chu Han doesn't have the mentality of Helian Zhan's fear and dare not offend at all.

Seeing Chu Han put two fingers on Brother Jiu's wrist, Fourteen unexpectedly remembered that the last time Helian took out the prepared silk handkerchief from his cuff, it was still pure white, and the corner of his mouth couldn't help raising a big smile. radians.

Feeling the obvious cold muscles and bones under his hands, Chu Han frowned, but didn't say anything for a moment, just quietly feeling his pulse.

Zi Yu and Mo Li were practicing kung fu to heal their injuries, while Nan Feng, Nan Yun and Nan Gong Xuanshang put all their attention on Chu Han, keeping their gazes locked on his expression, for fear of missing a single bit.

Ever since Cang Hao emphasized that his body was fine in Dongnuange last time, Nanfeng Nanyun has actually believed it from the bottom of his heart, and the nervousness at this time is just a subconscious reaction.

After a long time, Chu Han withdrew his hand and stood up, heaving a sigh of relief, "For the time being, it seems that there is nothing unusual about Master's pulse condition."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, Cang Hao smiled, "For the time being, what do you mean?"

"Master, forgive me." Chu Han smiled, "It means that this subordinate is coming to the imperial capital this time, and he doesn't plan to leave for the time being."

Cang Hao raised his eyebrows slightly.

"There is another piece of good news to tell Master." Chu Han smiled. Under Cang Hao's lazy gaze, he immediately felt pressured, but he still tried his best to maintain a perfect smile, "Shu He also heard the news that Master is unwell. , if the prediction is not bad, about four or five days later, the master will be able to meet with him."
