Chapter 1228 Finale ([-] words)

The eighth day of August is the day when Princess Cuiwei married Xiliang.

After so many days of fighting wits and courage, no matter how the old emperor and empress tried their best, and no matter how Su Tianyou expressed his feelings, Princess Cuiwei's heart did not change at all.

She is determined to marry to Xiliang, a place with high mountains and far away waters.

The night before the wedding, the empress finally couldn't hold back and came to Princess Cuiwei's palace in person, wanting to see her daughter for the last time.

Since the daughter's marriage has become a fact and cannot be changed, then this last meeting must always be seen.It would be even better if they could take advantage of this to untie the dead knot that has been in the hearts of the mother and daughter for many years.

However, this time the Queen was disappointed.

"I want to report to my empress, Your Highness the princess is too tired today, she has already rested early, I hope my empress will forgive me."

It's the same thing again, every time I come to see Cuiwei, no matter it's day or night, the ladies' responses are always the same.

"Can't you find a fresher excuse? Every time I come to take a break, don't you even bother to think about the reasons for perfunctory me?"

The queen was short-tempered, and she had a few deep wrinkles on her face that had aged significantly recently, and because of her daughter's marriage, she accidentally put on makeup to cover her blemishes, making her look old.

"Oh, it turns out that the empress also knows that these are all excuses. If that's the case, why do you want to make fun of yourself?"

A piercing voice came from the bedroom.

so cold!
The queen shivered subconsciously, this is her daughter, this is her daughter talking to her!

However, the voice and tone were still as indifferent as before.

The queen felt a slight pain in her heart, and unconsciously climbed her hand to her skirt: "Wei'er, you, you are getting married tomorrow, mother will see you later."

"Look at me? See what I do? See if I've been overwhelmed by your medicine? Or if I've been killed by someone you arranged?"

The voice became colder and colder, but the person still did not come out. The queen was a little anxious and took two steps forward, but was stopped by her daughter's stern voice.

"If the queen moves forward, don't blame me for being rude!"

She is a queen, she is a princess, even if she is a mother and daughter, but her identity is there, what kind of rude thing can she do to the queen?
But even so, the queen still stopped. She had already caused her daughter so much pain, and she didn't want to add to the unhappiness.

"Wei'er, those people didn't come to harm you, mother, mother just doesn't want you to marry and suffer so far away..."

"Guilt?"

Before the queen could finish her sentence, she was interrupted by Princess Cuiwei's sneer: "You said the same thing back then, you said you didn't want me to suffer with a small guard. Then, then you made excuses to kill me Abandon him! Empress, you said the same thing today, dare I ask, did you secretly send someone to Xiliang to assassinate that high-ranking Xiliang prince?"

Assassinate the Prince of Xiliang?

The queen suddenly shook her body, how could she have the guts?Perhaps it should be said, where does she have that ability?
No, that's not the point. She didn't make excuses to kill Ming Wei. When she asked Ming Wei to find animal skins, she was really just testing the child.

However, who would have thought that the child was so unlucky that he walked into the deep mountains and met a black bear!
Thinking of this, the Queen's heart ached even more.In that accident, Cuiwei lost her lover, but she also lost her son, isn't this punishment enough?

Thinking of this in her heart, the queen couldn't help but say such words out of her mouth.

Laughing louder than crying suddenly erupted in the dark palace, Cuiwei shouted hoarsely: "Punishment? They all died because of you, but you said punishment to me? Haha, empress, why are you so naive? You I lost my son, what about me, what I lost was my lover and brother! Those two people are the most important men in my life, but they are both dead, both dead!"

Two men, one is the love of life, the other is the heaviest in this life, who can understand Cuiwei's pain?Even the queen who is a mother can't!

Taking a deep breath, the queen knew that they could not continue this topic, otherwise, today would be nothing but nothing.

"Wei'er, let's not talk about the past. Tomorrow you will get married. My mother hasn't seen you for three months. When you marry Xiliang, my mother, my mother will never see you again." .Wei'er, let the queen mother meet you, okay? Even if it's only one side, it's fine!"

The queen's voice was filled with tears. She only had two children in this life, one of them died young, and now the only one is going to marry far away. I'm afraid there will be no chance of reunion in her lifetime.

Now she seems to be no longer a high-ranking queen, but just an ordinary mother who wishes to see her daughter for the last time.

However, Cuiwei didn't want to grant her such a small wish.

"It's late at night, please go back to the palace to rest, the empress. My minister is about to go to bed. If the auspicious time is delayed tomorrow, the queen, do you want to be responsible for the unhappy rest of my son's life?"

These words were too heartbreaking, the queen's body was staggering, if it wasn't for the palace servants around her who helped her up in time, she might have fallen to the ground.

"You can't delay the auspicious time, Wei'er, you should rest quickly, tomorrow, tomorrow mother will talk to you again."

She has already missed her daughter's happiness for the first half of her life, and since she can't change the fact that she married Xiliang in the second half of her life, she naturally hopes that her daughter will have a smooth sailing.

With the help of the palace servants, the queen staggered out of Cuiwei's bedroom, but she didn't know that the moment she left, there was a hoarse coughing sound in the bedroom.

The little palace maid who served Cuiwei since she was a child was so frightened that she hurriedly brought her the pills, which she secretly found someone to make up outside the palace, because Princess Cuiwei insisted that the imperial physician in the palace had no idea that Princess Cuiwei was terminally ill.

After swallowing three pills one after another, Cuiwei's health improved. She leaned on the bed decadently and weakly, and sighed with an extremely unstable breath: "Although she did not do what happened back then, but if it weren't for her Adding fuel to the flames, it will not, and this accident will not happen. Hey, maybe, this is my fate. In this life, I am afraid that I will never meet someone I really love again. "

The little maid subconsciously wanted to mention Su Tianyou's name, but her identity was different from that of ordinary court ladies. She had been with Cuiwei for nearly ten years, since she was five years old.

She naturally knew how much Princess Cuiwei loathed Su Tianyou, and this loathing had become more severe in recent months.

Perhaps, the man who devoted himself to the princess accidentally did something bad to offend the princess!

In the early morning of the next day, Princess Cuiwei woke up early before the palace servants came to greet her.

She sat blankly in front of the vanity mirror and asked the palace servants to help her comb her hair and put on makeup.

Because her body was too weak, her face became unbearably pale, and her already high cheekbones were so thin that they stood abruptly on her face like two bloodless white bones.

Not to mention the maid who dressed her up, even Princess Cuiwei couldn't help being frightened when she saw it herself.

"My face has changed a lot. If Ming Wei and brother saw it, I don't know if they would recognize me!"

The little palace maid curled her lips in distress, but tried her best to conceal her inner sadness, and comforted her: "The princess is getting more and more beautiful, and it is understandable that the eldest prince and Lord Ming can't recognize her!"

"Even you don't think they recognize me?"

Princess Cuiwei murmured softly as if she had lost her soul. Suddenly, she stood up, walked straight to her bed, found a small lacquered sandalwood brocade box under the pillow, and took out a two things.

"Ming Wei and my brother gave it to me. I must wear it on my body, so that they can recognize me, and I won't get lost and find them."

Cuiwei was very happy, and hung those two things, one on her wrist and the other on her neck.

Looking at the shining thing hanging around her neck, the little palace lady was so frightened that her legs gave way, and she quickly persuaded: "Princess, you can't wear this thing!"

"Can't you?"

Cuiwei was still immersed in the joy after meeting Mingwei and his brother, her eyes were a little dazed.

"Yes, you can't wear it like this. When they see it, they will definitely let me take it off."

While talking, Princess Cuiwei stuffed the shiny and cold thing into her collar and put it on next to her body.

Although the thing was cold and hard, and it was uncomfortable to stick to the skin, Princess Cuiwei seemed very satisfied, pressing her hands tightly to her chest, as happy as a child who got candy.

The little palace maid bit her lips with tears in her eyes. The princess has been like this for the past few months. Every day she holds the brocade box and talks to herself, sometimes laughing and sometimes crying. It's confusing.

The urging voice of the Ministry of Rites sounded outside the palace, and the little maid wiped her tears. Since she couldn't persuade the princess to take the thing off, she must take care of it with 12 points of energy, and she must not let others find out, nor let the princess...

If the little palace maid had been more cruel and forcibly taken off that thing at this time, maybe there would not have been something that made her regret it so much.

It's just that no one has the ability to predict the future. If they had, the little palace lady would definitely not compromise at this time.

Cuiwei is a direct princess, and she is married to the prince of a country. The scene of her marriage is naturally very spectacular. There are twenty noble daughters who are married as dowry, and they are dignified women selected from the families of the ministers of the court. And most of them are prostitutes.

In addition to this, there are endless kinds of dowry, cloth and the like are common, there are also various gold, silver and jade wares, antique porcelain, and many classic ancient books.

The old emperor felt sorry for this daughter, and specially gave her some orphan copies in the treasury to take away with her.

Although these things would end up in the treasury of Xiliang, the old emperor didn't care. Most of the books in Xiliang were wild, and the books he brought were basically useless.

On the contrary, those gold and silver jewelry are very suitable for Xiliang people.

Xiliang is thousands of miles away from Dayong, and the Xiliang welcoming mission had already arrived in Dayong's capital a month ago, and this time it was the fourth prince who was married to him.

This fourth prince is so famous that he is worse than meeting him. He is indeed a sick guy. Many people secretly sighed when they saw him. If Cheng Yuexiu was still alive, they don't know how long they would have lived with this fourth prince of Xiliang.

Although he was marrying his daughter, the old emperor didn't have a smile on his face, especially the empress. If you are careful, you will definitely find that today's empress is very different from usual.

The people in Cuiwei's bedroom who had just seen the queen yesterday were even more shocked. It was just that they hadn't seen each other for just one night. The queen's temples had a lot of snow-white hair. It really turned white overnight!

Ordinary women would wear a red hijab when they get married, but Princess Cuiwei didn't pay so much attention when she married to Xiliang. Today, she has red makeup on her body, and all kinds of gold ornaments on her head and body are extremely dazzling, very eye-catching.

But this is only from a distance. If you look closely, you will find that Princess Cuiwei's face is very strange.

Her face was frighteningly pale, even with rouge covering it, it couldn't hide her pale face.

Lin Yuan, as Princess Pingxi and the daughter-in-law of the General's Mansion, naturally had to be accompanied in the palace for such a big scene.

The two brothers Xia Zheng and Xia Zhen accompanied Xia Yuan and stood in the ranks of foreign ministers.

Lin Yuan and Tian Hui accompanied Princess Anle to the side of the concubine.Speaking of which, Princess Anle is Princess Cuiwei's only aunt, so she is going to go forward to add makeup and blessings to Princess Cuiwei.

Following Princess Anle, both Lin Yuan and Tian Hui saw Princess Cuiwei's face, Lin Yuan was more able to bear it in her heart, it was nothing, but Tian Hui opened her mouth wide and almost screamed out.

Is this, this skinny woman with hollow eyes really Cuiwei?

It's been a long time since we saw each other, why did Cuiwei become like this?
Tian Hui and Cuiwei are considered to be acquaintances. They used to play together in the palace before the eldest prince and Ming Wei had any accidents.

The current Cuiwei is exactly the same as she was when she found out about Mingwei's accident, she was dumbfounded and numb.

In other words, Cuiwei at this time is more serious than before.

Being pulled by Lin Yuan, Tian Hui finally suppressed the shock in her heart, but her eyes were already filled with tears.

Cuiwei is really suffering, so what if she is the eldest princess who is aloof and held in the hands of the emperor?In the end, isn't it impossible to grow old with the one you love?
Even Tian Hui noticed something strange, how could Princess An Le not notice it?

She handed her gift to Cuiwei, held her hand tightly, choked up for a long time before finally forced a smile: "Cuiwei, when you arrive in Xiliang, you must protect yourself well, Auntie In Dayong, I will always pray for you. My child, you must remember what my aunt said, and my aunt is still looking forward to going to Xiliang to see you someday!"

Cuiwei's hollow eyes flickered twice, and seeing Princess Anle's earnest eyes, she also smiled with her lips curled up, her voice was so low and hoarse: "Auntie, I will remember your teachings, I, I won't Give yourself up so easily."

The aunt and nephew were saying goodbye, but the queen standing aside was hesitant.

When she saw Cuiwei, she wanted to go forward and say a few words to her daughter, but her daughter's obviously warning and alienated eyes made her stop.

The daughter doesn't want her to pass by, the daughter doesn't want to see her!

Empress Su frowned, her face was twitching in pain, what did she do wrong, why should she be punished like this?
Various ceremonies that were more complicated than Cheng Yuexiu's marriage were going on in an orderly manner, and Princess Cuiwei just stood there, wondering what she was thinking.

The queen also stared blankly at her daughter, tears streaming down her face.

The maid beside her was distressed and anxious, but this was in front of civil and military officials, the queen was so disrespectful, but she would be impeached by the officials.

But how can the queen at this time care so much?In her heart, she only has her daughter who is about to leave.

Standing behind Princess Anle, Lin Yuan was able to see Princess Cuiwei obliquely.Thinking of Cheng Yuexiu crying when she got married, Cuiwei's calmness today is a little strange.

Lin Yuan subconsciously looked there twice more, and sure enough, she found that Princess Cuiwei's eyes were not always empty and dull, but her eyes were also constantly moving, as if she was looking for someone.

Suddenly, Cuiwei's eyes didn't move, and various expressions such as pain and resentment appeared on her face. This kind of expression appeared on her pale and thin face, which gave people a feeling of terror.

Following her gaze, Lin Yuan saw Su Tianyou's affectionate eyes.

One is staring at affectionately, while the other is staring at him with hatred, what is the situation?
Xiliang sent the fourth prince to welcome the bride, while Dayong sent the second prince Zhao Hongsheng to see him off. This was the most important job Zhao Hongsheng had received since he fell out of favor.

In fact, the old emperor's favorite emissary was not him, but his third son Zhao Hongde, but it was a pity that Zhao Hongde was still in the south of the Yangtze River for disaster relief and it was difficult to come back.

Therefore, this beautiful mission fell on Zhao Hongsheng's head.

In the eyes of everyone, this errand may be a good opportunity for Zhao Hongsheng to stand up.

However, there is a saying that the sky does not follow people's wishes, or that when people are unlucky, they can even drink a sip of cold water and stuff their teeth. This errand became the most critical straw that overwhelmed Zhao Hongsheng.

The mighty procession of seeing off relatives walked through the main street of the capital in a lively and high-profile manner, and walked out of the city gate in a high-profile manner.

Zhao Hongsheng sat on a tall horse, followed by a large number of escort guards.

The scenery on his face is boundless, and he is determined to win. There are so many guards in the sending team, who would dare to come forward to rob?
In addition, there are many masters in the Xiliang Wedding Mission, this time, there will definitely be no accidents like the last time Cheng Yuexiu got married.

However, God always seemed to like to oppose Zhao Hongsheng, and accidents really happened.

Just two days after their team left the capital, a puff of smoke hit by the wind, fascinating the unsuspecting guards, and the remaining guards who were a little more vigilant were also caught The man in black who came out suddenly killed him completely.

Zhao Hongsheng was drugged and his whole body was paralyzed. He called for escorts loudly, but few people could rush to protect him.

But fortunately, when he fell off the horse like a shit, the people in black seemed to disdain his cowardice, and directly ignored the prince.

The neglected second prince Zhao Hongsheng didn't know whether to be grateful or angry.

The martial arts of these men in black are obviously very good, and they came prepared.

And their target was not the gold, silver and jewels, nor the aloof second prince, but Princess Cuiwei sitting in the float.

After killing a few guards around him, a man in black leaned forward and rushed to the front of the float.

Without saying a word, he opened the car door and stretched out his hand to pull the woman inside.

puff!
Ah!
The two voices sounded almost simultaneously.

The man in black quickly retracted his hand, only to see that his palm was stabbed fiercely by a dagger, and blood was gurgling out.

The man in black covered his face, so he couldn't see his expression at this time, but it could be seen from his slightly trembling shoulders that he was in great pain!
"You, who are you? What do you want to do!"

Princess Cuiwei in the float leaned tightly against the wall of the float, looking at the man in black with a look of panic, her lips turned white with fright.

Seeing such a scene, the anger that had just risen in the man in black dissipated immediately. He took off the black cloth covering his face, revealing his originally handsome but somewhat pale cheeks.

"Wei'er, it's me, I'll take you away!"

Princess Cuiwei took a closer look, and immediately exclaimed: "Su, Cousin Su? Why are you!"

That's right, it was Su Tianyou who had a deep love for Cuiwei who led people to rush out to rob people.

Many people heard Cuiwei's words, even Zhao Hongsheng who was hiding under the horse's belly also heard it.

He poked his head out in shock, and he saw Su Tianyou's side face. He couldn't help being angry and anxious: "Su Tianyou, you, why did you kill people! Are you trying to rebel? Do you believe that the prince has gone back?" Let your Su Manor go around without food!"

Hearing his threats, Su Tianyou didn't care, just sneered: "Can't eat and walk around? Since I came today, I never thought about going back to Su's house. If Cuiwei leaves with me, then we will end up in the end of the world." From now on wandering. If she refuses to follow me, then my life, Su Tianyou, will be left here as a stepping stone for you!"

As he said that, Su Tianyou pulled out the hairpin in his hand as if pulling out a wooden stick that had nothing to do with him.

Blood stains immediately splashed out from the wound, leaving spots of dots on his already pale handsome face.

"You, you, you crazy, crazy!"

Zhao Hongsheng didn't dare to say any more, he was afraid that this lunatic would really go crazy and kill himself!
Su Tianyou didn't bother to talk to him anymore, but turned his head and looked at the woman in the car tenderly: "Wei'er, are you willing to come with me? The Xiliang Mountain is high and the road is far away, and the Xiliang Prince is as cunning as a fox." If you go to Xiliang, you will definitely not be happy. Wei'er, didn't you say that you like to live a free life and don't want to be restrained by others? I will take you away and take you to Jiangnan to see Xiaohe is just showing up, I will take you to Dongling to see the majestic waves, and Beirong to watch the sunset and the long river. Weier, come with me, okay?"

Su Tianyou's voice was as gentle as water, and the words he said were even more seductive.

It is true that Cuiwei yearns for this kind of life the most, but this is not the only person who has ever told her about it.

There was once a man who promised her like this, but before that man could keep his promise, he died quietly in the mountains.

And the person who killed him...

Cuiwei regained her composure, her face was full of anticipation and hope, with a faint hint of hope: "Really? Are you really, willing to take me to live that kind of life?"

"I am willing, of course I am willing. For so many years, I even want to take you away in my dreams."

Aroused by Cuiwei's words, Su Tianyou felt that his wish for many years would come true soon.

Sure enough, the hand that he wanted to hold in his dreams finally fell into his palm slowly.

Cuiwei's hands are so small and soft.Even in the scorching summer, it is so cool...

puff!
Su Tianyou, who had been looking at the slender hands in his palms, suddenly felt a cold thing inserted into his abdomen inexplicably, and that thing pierced his stomach and his internal organs!
"Wei'er, you, why?"

Looking at the small dagger tightly held by Xian Xiansu and the small dagger that suddenly appeared on his stomach, Su Tianyou took two steps back in shock.

He didn't believe it, he didn't believe that the dagger was actually delivered into his body by his beloved woman.

This is not true, why a dagger?Shouldn't it be Cuiwei's warm and fragrant nephrite?

"Why? Haha, you actually asked me why!"

Cuiwei's crazy laughter rang in his ears, Su Tianyou raised his head in a daze, and a pair of gentle and hurt eyes looked into her cold and happy eyes.

"Su Tianyou, why should I ask you this question! Why did you kill Mingwei, why did you kill my elder brother? He, he is your cousin. Didn't you like each other the most since you were young? Didn't you say that Big Brother is more like your own brother than Tian Rui? But, why did you kill them, why?"

Princess Cuiwei's weeping question was like a sharp knife slashing at the hearts of everyone present.

Zhao Hongsheng, who was hiding under the horse's belly, opened his eyes wide in shock. Brother, Su Tianyou actually killed him?How can this be?The eldest brother is closer to Su Tianyou than to their younger brothers!

Su Tianyou was the one who was most shocked, but he was as smart as him, and he figured it out quickly.

"Hehe, no wonder, no wonder you don't want to see me recently, it turns out that you have figured out the truth back then!"

Is this a disguised admission that you did it yourself?
Zhao Hongsheng was so excited that he almost ran out from under the horse's belly and murdered the prince. This is a serious crime against the nine clans!
God, he was just seeing off his relatives today, why did he accidentally touch such a secret thing?

Not sure whether it was excitement or fear, Zhao Hongsheng looked around in a daze, and suddenly noticed a very strange phenomenon.

Why are the dead people all Dayong's guards?Why are the masters in Xiliang fascinated?This is so unreasonable!
And the Fourth Prince of Xiliang, his body is too fragile, he is just drugged, why did he lie on the ground and not move?
If he hadn't seen his evenly rising and falling stomach, Zhao Hongsheng would have suspected that the Fourth Prince of Xiliang had been killed.

So weird, so weird!Everything is so weird today!

"You admit it? You killed Ming Wei and Big Brother?"

Cuiwei swayed and fell off the carriage, the little maid who had served her for many years hurried forward to support her, but she was too timid to speak.

As Su Tianyou said, she already knew what happened back then, but the process of knowing it was very difficult. She didn't find out this by herself, but borrowed the hands of others.

That's right, it's Xiliang Prince Heliannuo.

On that day, Heliannuo took away Cheng Yuexiu as an envoy to welcome the relatives, not wanting to be intercepted and killed halfway, and the mastermind was Su Tianyou.

Don't look at Heliannuo who is joking and joking and doesn't have a good job on weekdays, but how can he be incapable as a prince?

He deliberately held back, and even helped Su Tianyou cover up, leading this disaster to Bei Rong. Even Emperor Dayong didn't know the truth.

However, Heliannuo is a person who must take revenge, so he sent someone to sneak into Su's mansion that night, and used the secret drug made in southern Xinjiang to stun the crowd, and held them at Su Tianyou's house I made some articles on myself.

Not only that, but his people also discovered some unspeakable secrets, such as their surveillance of Mingwei and Princess Cuiwei, which was the order Su Tianyou ordered to shoot Mingwei.

Those things were all hidden in the secret room by Su Tianyou. In order not to startle the snake, after a few people looked at them, they put them back intact.

Therefore, Su Tianyou didn't know until today that this secret was leaked from himself.

Su Tianyou looked at the dagger on his stomach, it was very small, and there were a few round pearls inlaid on the handle.

This dagger looked familiar, but he couldn't remember when he had seen it before.

Now is not the time to think about these things, he smiled palely and weakly, and said to Cuiwei who was trembling with anger or sadness, "Yes, I killed them, but I just wanted to kill Ming at the beginning. Wei, I didn't think about killing the big cousin, yes, it was the big cousin who insisted on helping that bastard, I, I was forced to help."

Being forced to be helpless, what a force to be helpless!
"How did Ming Wei offend you? You actually wanted to put him to death! And my eldest brother, he is so good, better than anyone else! My father said that if he wants to make him the crown prince, if he is alive, he must be His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who is admired by thousands of people!"

Cuiwei kept talking, and finally pointed at Su Tianyou and roared with hatred: "It's you, it's you who ruined everything! It's you!"

Yeah, it's me, it's me who ruined it all!
Being pointed at the nose by the woman he loves and scolded, the pain in Su Tianyou's heart was ten thousand times more painful than his body.

"Why? Don't you know? We grew up together, don't you know my feelings for you? But you, you actually fell in love with that man just because of a chance encounter! What's so good about him? Isn't he just An unknown little guard? Will you be happy with him? Wei'er, only I love you the most, and only I can give you happiness! Wei'er!"

"Shut up! You madman!"

Cuiwei didn't want to hear Su Tianyou's words that he loved her but put her in such a painful situation anymore. This was not love, but occupation, and coercion!
"No matter what you say, I won't believe you, just like you won't understand why Ming Wei and I fall in love."

Cuiwei pushed the little maid away, walked straight forward two steps, stared at the wound on his stomach, and said with a sneer: "You killed my elder brother, my lover, and me and my mother After so many years of estrangement, let’s take today’s knife as an end! When you get down there and see my elder brother and Ming Wei, let them avenge the rest of the enmity with their own hands!”

Report it yourself?

Ha ha ha ha.

Su Tianyou laughed loudly, he pulled out the dagger from his stomach without hesitation, pinched the blade of the dagger with bloody hands, and brought the handle to Cuiwei.

"Wei'er, since you let me die, I have no complaints or regrets, I love you, I will do whatever you want me to do. If I can die in your hands, so that you can let go of all this, I am also willing."

Su Tianyou's voice was as gentle as the floating clouds in the sky at this moment, white and misty: "Just, Weier, how can this little dagger kill me? See this? This is a fatal blow to the heart. Here, I will die thoroughly! Come, Wei'er, stab here, come, Wei'er!"

While talking, Su Tianyou took steps forward, and sent the dagger in his hand forward, as if he had to send it to Princess Cuiwei before giving up.

The little maid was frightened by his crazy appearance, she pulled Princess Cuiwei's sleeve and backed away.

Not only her, but even the people in black who came behind Su Tianyou were shocked by the leader's appearance. Didn't they come to rob people?How did it become suicidal?
While thinking about it, Su Tianyou suddenly laughed happily, and with the laughter, a lot of blood froth gushed out of his mouth.

"leader!"

The men in black were shocked. Although the dagger almost lost its handle when it was inserted into the body, Princess Cuiwei obviously didn't know how to kill people, and the place where it was poked was not fatal.

So, it stands to reason that Su Tianyou wouldn't be so serious, but why did he spurt out blood while smiling!

But Su Tianyou himself didn't care about the blood he spurted out, he still smiled happily, even his eyebrows and eyes were crooked, such a pure smile resembled their carefree appearance when they were children!
"Wei'er, why didn't you answer? Are you reluctant to kill me? I knew that you were reluctant to kill me. Wei'er, you love me, right? You also have my feelings in your heart, right? Haha, Weier Son, I'm so happy, after so many years, it turns out that you have finally been moved by my heart, haha."

Looking at Su Tianyou, who was almost a blood man, Princess Cuiwei felt a little pain in her heart, and slowly closed her eyes, but her lips were still cold, and the words she said were even more heart-wrenching.

"You killed my relatives, my lover, how could I fall in love with you? You just die of this heart! I don't kill you, I just don't want you to die in my hands as you wish, I don't want to die I will still be entangled with you. Su Tianyou, your wishful thinking was wrong, today, you did not die by my hands, but by Heliano's hands!"

Heliano?
Su Tianyou couldn't react to the sudden name, even Zhao Hongsheng, who had always been sane, was dumbfounded, why did he get involved with that Xiliang prince again?Is he here today?

But Zhao Hongsheng seemed to have waited and watched for a long time, but he didn't find the figure of the Xiliang fox. What's going on?

It was not only Zhao Hongsheng who was puzzled, but also Su Tianyou.

"You, what do you mean?"

Cuiwei slowly opened her eyes, at this moment, the unbearableness in her eyes had disappeared, leaving only loneliness and ruthlessness.

"Don't you think this dagger looks familiar? Yes, it is the dagger of Heliannuo, Prince of Xiliang. Su Tianyou, you want to die in my hands, but I am so sorry that I cannot let you do so. Because your body Li has already been poisoned by Gu, and this dagger is the introduction."

At this point, no matter how stupid Su Tianyou was, he could still understand.

Has Gu poison in his body?Why doesn't he know?
A flash of light flashed across his eyes, that's right, that day he sent someone to assassinate the prince of Xiliang but failed, and later a stranger broke into his home.

No part of his room has been turned over, and even his own body has not changed in any way. He always thought that those people were not coming for him. It was not until today that he realized that they did something that day, and they were still in his body. Gu poison is left behind!

As if to prove that what Princess Cuiwei said was true, Su Tianyou fell heavily to the ground with a bang, and a big cloud of dust rose up.

Looking at Su Tianyou who was twitching slightly on the ground, Princess Cuiwei said expressionlessly: "Back then when I found eldest brother and Mingwei, their bodies had been abandoned in the deep forest for many days, and their bodies had been bitten by wild beasts. Even, just Even the body is full of maggots."

Xu Shi recalled the scene of that day, two lines of tears slid down Princess Cuiwei's pale cheeks: "Su Tianyou, today, I will let you taste the feeling of being eaten by wild beasts and pierced by maggots!"

"Wei'er, Wei'er, I'm sorry, forgive me, forgive me..."

The Gu worms exploded violently, before Su Tianyou could raise one arm, thousands of fat white maggots crawled out of the blood hole pierced by the dagger.

These maggots had been planted in his body a few months ago. In the past few months, without Su Tianyou's knowledge, they had slowly taken root and germinated, devouring all the organs in his body .

It can be said that the current Su Tianyou is just an empty shell. In fact, his insides have already been filled with maggots.

Maggots crawled out from one place, and traces of being gnawed slowly appeared in more places, and more and more maggots crawled out of his body.

Blood slowly oozed from the eyes, ears, nostrils, mouth, and the heart on the chest, and a few wriggling maggots poked their heads out.

vomit!
Many people present saw Su Tianyou's end, they couldn't restrain their churning stomachs, they covered their mouths and noses and vomited out.

It's fine if it's a dead person, but at this time Su Tianyou still hangs his breath and refuses to die, the pain he suffers is even more unbearable.

The people in black saw that the leader had become like this, even if they took it back, it would be a dead end.

Several people winked at each other, lightly reprimanded "go" and disappeared.

Micro, micro...

Su Tianyou's call became weaker and weaker, and he stopped at some point.

Everyone fled away, not wanting to see those maggots crawling around.

Zhao Hongsheng, who was not far away, had already scrambled and fled to the side, throwing up dizzily.

However, there was only one person standing quietly beside Su Tianyou, staring at him with wide eyes, motionless.

It seemed that there was nothing else in the world, only Su Tianyou in black clothes torn on the ground, and the white maggots that appeared and disappeared on his body.

There is also Princess Cuiwei in a red wedding dress and a crown of golden hair.

After a long time, until the man on the ground could no longer make a sound or make any movement, Cui Wei slowly raised her head.

The sunset glow in the sky is so beautiful, red, just like the red wedding dress on her body.

"Brother, Ming Wei, I have avenged you."

Cuiwei smiled sweetly, the smile on her lips was more beautiful than the sunset glow in the sky.

I didn't see how she moved, and a shiny half-pointed arrow appeared in the palm of her hand. It was something that she hung around her neck before she got married. It was a short short that he blocked for her when she and Ming Wei met for the first time. Arrows, which she has treasured until now.

On her wrist is a little rabbit made of poplar branches that her eldest brother sneaked out of the palace and brought back to her when she was ten years old.

She is a rabbit, and her favorite is also a rabbit.

The eldest brother said that he hoped that she could live a carefree life forever like the little rabbit.

"Brother, Mingwei, are you all lonely? Wei'er, I'm here to accompany you."

puff!
The wooden rabbit on her wrist fell into a pool of blood, Cuiwei fell to the ground with the half of the short arrow in her heart, smiling.

The sunset glow in the sky is so red and beautiful, so much like the bright smiling faces of her elder brother and Ming Wei!
As if all the shouting and crying around her were cut off, Princess Cuiwei squinted her eyes slightly, looking at the red sunset, following in the footsteps of her lover...

Dayong and Xiliang must have a disagreement, the first marriage, Princess Hexiu was killed by Beirong.For the second marriage, Princess Cuiwei committed suicide.

Looking at the second son kneeling in front of him, the old emperor felt that his heart was going to be broken.

Not only because he had to pay Xiliang a lot of property, but also because his most beloved daughter went away like this.

The queen had already rushed over after hearing the news, and when she saw Zhao Hongsheng, she asked expectantly: "Is Wei'er all right? What they said is all false, right? Right?"

Zhao Hongsheng's face was flushed red, and he also hoped that this matter was fake, so that he would not have to bear the bloodthirsty eyes of the old emperor.

However, the facts are already like this, and it is useless for him to say anything else.

"Queen, my condolences."

The old emperor's heavy voice sounded, even if Empress Su wanted to deceive herself, she couldn't do it.

She fell to the ground and howled hoarsely: "My Wei'er, my Wei'er! Why are you so cruel, my mother's heart is about to break, Wei'er! God, why are you so cruel? You have already taken away my son, why should you take away my daughter!"

The Queen's bloody cry sounded in the hall. Fortunately, only Su Zhe and two other ministers were in the hall at this time. Otherwise, if everyone saw the Queen's disrespect, there would be a lot of discussion.

"Queen, pay attention to your words and deeds, you are the mother of a country!"

The old emperor's heavy voice sounded again, and Empress Su cried bitterly: "Words and deeds? My daughter is dead, and you still tell me to pay attention to my words and deeds! Your Majesty, that is my daughter, my only hope!"

The old emperor frowned, but it wasn't because he blamed the queen's disrespect in front of the palace, but because he was actually very heartbroken. Although he said words that paid attention to words and deeds, he was also a father, a daughter he had held in his hands since childhood. How could he not be heartbroken after going like this?
only……

Looking at Su Zhe, several ministers standing beside him, and the Fourth Prince of Xiliang who had been coughing in a low voice, the old emperor looked helpless.

Now that Cuiwei died halfway, and their Dayong royal family didn't have a suitable princess of the right age to make up for it, this marriage was bound to come to an end.

Shaking his head, the old emperor planned to discuss the next issue of compensation with Su Zhe and the others.

As for the reason for Princess Cuiwei's suicide, he already subconsciously believed that Cuiwei was concerned about Ming Wei who had been dead for many years.

However, before he could open his mouth, Zhao Hongsheng had already opened his mouth and said: "Father, my son has something important to report."

After finishing speaking, he told everything about Su Tianyou leading someone to hijack the car and Cuiwei accusing him of murdering the First Prince and Mingwei.

The hall was very quiet, even the crying Empress Su was silent, only a few gasps of surprise could be heard occasionally.

"What you said is true?"

The old emperor was so shocked that he was shaking slightly.

Zhao Hongsheng was worried that he would not be able to find the person responsible for this disaster, so he nodded quickly: "Everything I said is true, father, if you don't believe me, you can ask the fourth prince of Xiliang, at that time, he was also present."

The Fourth Prince of Xiliang was indeed present, but when the mist hit, he had already laid down.

However, since the prince of Xiliang was involved in this incident, the ailing fourth prince must have been secretly instigated by the prince of Xiliang.

Sure enough, the Fourth Prince of Xiliang coughed weakly twice, then nodded and said: "What the Second Highness said is true, it is the truth."

Even the fourth prince of Xiliang said that, even if the old emperor doesn't believe it, what reason does he have?
"This, this is impossible, Your Majesty, this is impossible! You'er is the closest to the First Prince, they are brothers and sisters, how could he do such a thing..."

Su Zhe immediately knelt down on the ground, no matter whether it was true or not, he had to argue with reason, if Su Tianyou just killed Mingwei, it would be fine, but there was an eldest prince in the middle, this is the leader of Zhujiu Clan Big sin!
"Impossible? What is impossible!"

Empress Su, who had been crying and fell to the ground, suddenly had sharp eyes, and she remembered what happened that day.

"It was him, it was he who suggested that I send Ming Wei to the mountains, I remembered, it was God's idea!"

Empress Su really hated Ming Wei, but because of her daughter's insistence, she had already been shaken, and she was only one step away.

Therefore, when Su Tianyou proposed to let him look for animal skins, she readily agreed.

And the death of the First Prince was an accident.

Love the house and Wu, the eldest prince loves Cuiwei very much, and naturally wants to see his sister happy.In addition, he was extremely intelligent, and he had already seen that the queen had wavered, so he worked so hard to help Ming Wei.

It's just that I didn't expect that from the beginning to the end, this matter was actually a conspiracy, a long-planned conspiracy!

Bringing up the sad incident many years ago again, the old emperor suddenly aged a lot. His favorite son died suddenly. One can imagine his mood. Now that there are new clues, naturally he will not let it go.

"Come here, go to the Su Mansion to find evidence!"

With an order, Su Zhe was already paralyzed on the ground. The emperor believed it. If something unfavorable is found in Su Tianyou's mansion, I'm afraid...

The people sent out this time are the Imperial Forest Army, and the Imperial Forest Army is in charge of His Majesty's safety. In the past, where did they have the opportunity to go out of the palace?

Today's dispatch shows that the old emperor really believed Zhao Hongsheng's words.

The Imperial Forest Army's ability to handle affairs is unquestionable, and soon entered the palace with a big brocade box.

There were a few small pieces of paper, some with instructions to order Ming Wei to be murdered, and some with instructions to complete the task.

One of them caught the old emperor's special attention.

"The situation has changed. If you stay by your side, please ask for instructions on how to act."

Qian means that the eldest prince Zhao Hong has done it. It seems that this is a note from Fei Ge, the man sent by Su Tianyou to assassinate Ming Wei, who came back to inquire.

The old emperor's heart sank, and he immediately took out another note, which was Su Tianyou's reply, with only one word: kill!

Kill, kill!

The old emperor laughed loudly, but the people present heard desolation and anger from the laughter.

"Su Tianyou, knowing that Qian'er is there, but still ordering to kill? You are so courageous!"

Empress Su also saw these notes, her eyes were dark and her thoughts were all lost.

"My god, my god, was murdered, murdered? God bless, that's your cousin, God bless!"

"No, no, Wei'er, mother is wronged, mother is wronged! Wei'er, can you come out and see mother? Mother is really wronged, mother is sorry for you, sorry for your elder brother, I'm sorry Ming Wei, mother won't stop you anymore, let's get married, let's get married! Wei'er, mother just asks you to look at mother again, and call me mother with a smile again, Wei'er!"

Empress Su's hysterical call sounded in the quiet hall, and everyone present felt sad when they heard it.

The old emperor was even more so. After all, he was his wife who had been with him for more than 20 years. After the eldest son left, she was the one who suffered the most.

Now that the truth is revealed, she is the one who suffers the most.

Weakly waving his hand to ask his servants to send the absent-minded queen back to the palace, the old emperor closed his eyes and looked at Su Zhe who was kneeling in the hall.

After so many years, he is also old, so old that he can't even see through his own son.

"Su Zhe, you have been with me when I was still in Qiandi. After so many years, you are also tired, so go back and rest!"

There is no extra word, but Su Zhe has already seen his end.

He was dismissed from office and returned to his hometown, but the lives of the Su family were saved.

"Old minister, thank Your Majesty Long En!"

After all, the news of Princess Cuiwei's suicide could not be concealed from the world, after all, she is the most beloved eldest princess of the emperor.

However, because she has not left Dayong yet, her marriage with Xiliang cannot be counted.

And Xiliang also generously expressed their willingness to send Princess Cuiwei home, so in the end the matter was settled satisfactorily only by paying Cuiwei some dowry as compensation.

The affairs of Cuiwei's death were extremely beautiful, the emperor and empress knew her intentions, invited Mingwei's bones out, and buried them with Princess Cuiwei.

Although they failed to fulfill their wishes in life, let them be a couple of gods and immortals after they die!

As for Su Tianyou's evil deeds, the old emperor cared about Empress Su and did not make this matter public.

But Su Tianyou's results were horrible. Even though his body could no longer be seen, the old emperor still divided his body into several parts and dumped it in the wilderness around Dayong.

It seems that it is hoped that Su Tianyou will not be reincarnated even after death.

Although the Su family saved their lives, it was impossible for them to stay in the court.

On the second day, Su Zhe submitted the application for retiring from old age and returning to his hometown, and the old emperor approved it without saying anything.

However, as compensation, a lot of silver taels were rewarded as appeasement.

After three days of rectification, the Su family hurriedly packed their bags and prepared to leave Beijing.

As Xia Zheng's only friend in the capital, Su Tianrui was about to leave, so Xia Zheng was naturally going to send him off.

Although she knew that Su Qiuyu didn't want to see her at this time, Lin Yuan still couldn't resist Xia Zheng, so she went with her.

But the reality is very different from what she imagined, Su Qiuyu doesn't know herself at all.

Let alone herself, she doesn't even know Xia Zheng, whom she admires wholeheartedly.

She was holding a half-human rag doll in her hand. The rag doll was wearing a very elegant robe and even a jade crown on its head.

Su Qiuyu stood beside Mrs. Su with the baby in her arms, talking to the baby in her arms with a doting expression.

Lin Yuan was puzzled, so she took a few steps closer and overheard a few words.

"Brother Zheng, do you think Yu'er looks good today? Really? Is it really good-looking? Heck, let's play the bride game later and let Yu'er be your bride, okay? Don't sneak away anymore Oh!"

Lin Yuan was taken aback for a moment, and she knew in her heart that Su Qiuyu was indeed hysterical, and all her thoughts were stuck in her childhood.

Perhaps in her heart, only Xia Zheng at that time really belonged to her alone!

"You saw that too?"

Su Tianrui's wry smile sounded in his ears: "Qiu Yu is already like this. Although my parents love her, I think this may be a kind of relief for her."

I have to say that Su Tianrui is indeed a good brother, at least much better than Su Tianyou.

Su Tianyou's incident dealt a great blow to the Su family. Although the brothers didn't move around very much on weekdays, they were biological brothers after all. Su Tianrui felt bad for the eldest brother who fell into such a miserable situation.

In just a few days, his spirit has become much more decadent and vicissitudes.

Xia Zheng patted him on the shoulder, and his face became serious: "The Su family's vitality has been seriously injured. It may be a good thing to go back to my hometown. I have a good restaurant over there, and I have sent someone to talk to the shopkeeper. After greeting, from now on, the owner of that restaurant will be you."

With that said, the envelope in his hand was stuffed into Su Tianrui's belt.

Su Tianrui and Xia Zheng are brothers who grew up together. In their own words, just by looking at each other, the other party can know what kind of fart they are holding back.

Knowing Xia Zheng's temper, Su Tianrui was not polite to him, and happily accepted the title deed of the restaurant, and said with a smile: "Iron cocks will have a day when they are willing to pluck their hair, haha, then I'd rather be respectful than obey my orders!"

"You are the iron cock!"

"Yo? Aren't you?"

The two brothers belittled each other for a while, and no one gave way too much.

Although she was smiling, Lin Yuan felt her nose sore and tears were already rolling in her eyes while watching.

As the departure time was approaching, Xia Zheng punched Su Tianrui on the shoulder and hugged him, his voice choked slightly: "Brother, take care!"

Having known Xia Zheng for more than 20 years, this is the first time Su Tianrui has seen him like this.

After silently grieving in his heart for a moment, Su Tianrui finally forced a smile, pushed him away, turned his head and ran away as if there was something terribly dirty all over his body.

"Oh, it's so sour, like a little daughter-in-law! I don't get tired of you, sir. I'm leaving. The sky is high and the earth is far away. I'm going to find a hundred beauties as wives, so I'm not like you. It seems worthless, holding this one all day long!"

The voice gradually faded away, Xia Zheng broke into a mouthful of saliva, and the curse words were finally choked in his throat after seeing the guy secretly wiping his tears.

The sky is high and the earth is far away. I don’t know when we will meet again. Let us remember each other’s most chic smiles!

The matter between Princess Cuiwei and the Su family was like passing by in a hurry in the capital, and was quickly forgotten by everyone.

Lin Yuan's business is still going on, Tian Hui's son is slowly growing up, and the reputation of Changyin Pavilion is getting bigger and bigger. In just half a year, Changyin Pavilion and Baiyulan have become the best in the capital. title.

What about Chang Ruchun back then?In front of Magnolia, it is just a small shrimp.

Zhao Hongde's achievements in managing the floods in the south of the Yangtze River were naturally greatly appreciated by the old emperor after he came back.

It's just that these appreciations are only verbal, and there is no substantive reward.

All the ministers in the court were puzzled and at the same time speculated that the old emperor hadn't seen the reward for a long time. Could it be that there was a big reward waiting for him?

The filial Zhao Hongde didn't care about these rewards.

He already knew about Su Tianyou and Cuiwei, so he understood the pain of the old emperor getting thinner.

Therefore, trying every means to win the old emperor's smile has become the most concerned thing of Zhao Hongde recently.

However, this matter soon had an opportunity.

As the end of the year approached, more and more foreigners appeared in the capital, and the attire of Dongling and Xiliang people was obviously very different from that of Dayong locals.

People in Xiliang like to wear fur clothes, but because Dongling people are located in the east, the temperature is higher than that of Dayong, so they can't bear to come to Dayong's capital in winter.

As long as you see a person wrapped like a rice dumpling on the street, it must be from Tanglin.

The appearance of these foreigners not only did not arouse the court's warning, but was very welcome, because they all came to participate in the chef competition at the end of the year, which was the competition that the old emperor and Xiliang Prince Heliannuo discussed together last year.

The relationship between Beirong and Dayong has not eased, so Beirong people are rarely seen on the street.

Even if some Beirong businessmen really wanted to take advantage of this grand event to come to Dayong to make some money, they would disguise themselves as Xiliang people with similar customs, habits and body shapes.

The chef competition is a grand event funded by the imperial court, and the venue chosen is naturally the best in the capital.

The big square had already been sorted out two months ago, and a big circular table was made in the middle of it, surrounded by small stoves of different sizes.

You don't need to ask, it's a place to show off your culinary skills to the participating chefs.

Round iron pillars surrounded the small stove to form a circle of railings, and the top was tied with iron chains. This was to prevent the common people from being too excited to cross the fence and affect the competition to a certain extent.

In addition, on the north side of the round platform, there is a high raised platform. It used to be empty, but now there are rows of chairs, and the chairs in the middle are the largest and most eye-catching.

The people guessed that the chair was reserved for His Majesty the Emperor.

But there are also many people who feel that although this chef competition is very grand, it is still too small compared to the imperial court, and it is not worthy of His Majesty's presence.

However, they were wrong. This chef competition is closely related to the imperial court. Not to mention that the final winner of the chef competition will be famous all over the world. This competition alone has attracted many businessmen from all over the world. How much economic support has been brought to Dayong!
At the beginning, the old emperor regretted agreeing to hold this contest, but after hearing Xia Zheng’s report in the past few days that the business of various restaurants and merchants in the capital had increased, he finally admitted that this contest was indeed the right one.

Therefore, at today's game site, the old emperor will definitely be present.

There is still some time before the game, and Lin Yuan is sitting leisurely in the rest area next to her and drinking tea.

After more than half a year of tempering, there is no need to do those preparations by yourself. With Xiaohe Gaoxuan and Cheng Haoxuan around, they can handle them completely.

However, compared with Xiaohe and Gao Xuan, Cheng Haoxuan, a new apprentice, is obviously a little too tender, and he can't handle the lobsters that Lin Yuan needs later.

For a while, she screamed and yelled that her fingers were pinched, and for a while she made a fuss about the lobster escaping. Lin Yuan never felt at ease for a moment.

He took out the warm ginseng soup from the food box and handed it to Lin Yuan. Xia Zheng curled his lips in disgust: "Tell me about you, didn't you agree not to accept this guy as a disciple? Are you softening your heart when you come forward? Tsk tsk, you said it’s fine to accept an apprentice, at worst, you need a worker, but this apprentice is too stupid! Even if you can’t handle a lobster well, that’s the master from Tanglin Merchant I bought it at a high price!"

This crayfish was indeed bought by Xia Zheng from the people of Dongling, in fact it is not that expensive, but there are no wild lobsters in the interior of Dayong, let alone domesticated ones.

So when she saw that people from Tanglin were selling crayfish, Lin Yuan's greed was hooked.

Her favorite is the spicy crayfish. She couldn't make it without raw materials before, but this time she finally came across it, and she couldn't let it go.

"Oh, you can just accommodate him. He will be your sister-in-law's brother-in-law in the future. After all, you are still a family. Don't look at him with that disgusting look!"

Lin Yuan didn't take the ginseng soup, and drank it directly in Xia Zheng's hand, not forgetting to intercede with Cheng Haoxuan while drinking.

snort!
Xia Zheng snorted, but seeing Lin Yuan drinking the soup like this made him feel a little happier, and after she finished drinking, he rolled up his sleeves and joined the battle.

"Isn't it just a crayfish? As for the one who yells so loudly... Oops! My finger! Little thing, tsk tsk, it's quite strong, it hurts me!"

Cheng Haoxuan seemed to have finally found a kindred spirit, with an aggrieved expression on his face: "I'm not lying, it really hurts!"

Xia Zheng glared at him angrily: "A majestic man, why does it hurt? It's worthless!"

"That's right, look at the eldest brother-in-law, he was also caught, didn't he not cry out in pain?"

Xiao He gave Cheng Haoxuan a funny look, but he didn't notice that Xia Zheng's hand behind him was cautiously daring not to move.

Perhaps only Lin Yuan, who knew him best, could see that Xia Zheng's brows were furrowed in pain.

"Okay, you guys, stop making trouble. The competition is about to start, why don't you hurry up and clean up these crayfish? Didn't you see? There are so many colleagues outside to compete with us. If you don't pay attention, you will be afraid It's really going to be compared!"

Lin Yuan interrupted everyone and demonstrated the process of handling the crayfish herself. Because the head of the crayfish is not edible, and the dirtiest parts are all gathered at the head, so she lightly removed the head of the crayfish. Pull it out, and then carefully remove the shrimp line.

After doing a whole set of movements, it was so smooth and flowing, it was as beautiful as embroidery, Xiaohe Cheng Haoxuan and the others were dumbfounded.

Xia Zheng's eyes brightened, he hugged Lin Yuan and slapped her on the face: "My wife is still the most powerful, no matter what kind of crayfish or big lobsters!"

Snapped!
Whoops!

Lin Yuan, who was eaten tofu in public, threw a crayfish onto Xia Zheng's finger. This time, someone finally yelled out.

There was laughter in the lounge, and suddenly a gust of cold wind rushed in. It was Chen Ruochu and shopkeeper Liu who had gone out to inquire about news, and returned.

"How about it?"

Xiao Linzi warmed his hands by the stove, curled his lips and shook his head: "The trip was in vain, and I didn't find any of the people you asked me to look for!"

As he spoke, he took out a letter from his pocket: "Here, that fox from Xiliang gave it to you. I happened to meet him at the door."

Xiliang fox?Heliano?

Before Lin Yuan stretched out her hand, Xia Zheng snatched the letter away.

"Didn't he come? This guy, who cheated us of so much property of Dayong, didn't come!"

Xia Zheng was cursing while reading the letter, and after cursing and cursing, he laughed: "Haha, this guy is so good, haha."

Lin Yuan poked her head over curiously for a look, and then laughed very unkindly.

This letter is as long as three pages, but it is nothing more than one thing. Princess Cuiwei committed suicide before leaving the border of Dayong Kingdom, so the sad Xiliang Prince Heliannuo started a new round. Blind date mission.

No, he can't even participate in the chef competition he personally proposed. At this moment, he is being pulled by his mother, the little emperor uncle and that ugly national treasure-level matchmaker who is the most annoying in a few days. Now, I am working hard to meet beauties from all over the world!

In the letter, Heliano also deliberately spent a lot of ink to scold Xiao Taohua, the ugly national treasure-level matchmaker who was the most annoying in a few days. The entire two pages were almost full of curses!
Lin Yuan was not in the mood to see him swearing, but her mood suddenly improved. As long as she thought of Heliano, who was always pretending to be a stinky fart, being forced to go on a blind date, she would be happy.

However, in addition to complaining and cursing, Heliano also deliberately expressed his grief at not being able to enjoy the craftsmanship of Lin Yuan and Dongling's little beauty.

Seeing this little beauty from Dongling, Lin Yuan immediately remembered Xiao Linzi's words.

"Why, didn't the famous fisher girl from Tangling come?"

Didn't Heliano say that she is the most powerful fisher girl in Tanglin now?Moreover, it is said that her cooking skills are also very good, so she didn't come to this competition today?

Chen Ruochu had already baked his hands, and was sitting next to Cheng Haoxuan and the others to watch them handle the crayfish!
"Oh, it's true that I didn't come. I've inquired about it. It seems that the little lady is pregnant, and her family's cold-faced killing gods don't allow her to go out!"

It was so!
Lin Yuan shrugged her shoulders. It seemed that her desire to compete with that little fisher girl in cooking skills would not come true anytime soon.

"Hey, it turns out I'm pregnant!"

Xia Zheng suddenly approached with a smile, and raised his eyebrows at Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan was speechless for a moment, and stretched out her hand to push his infinitely enlarged face away: "If you want to be a monk for a year, I don't mind giving you one!"

Although the voice was very low, Xia Zheng could hear it clearly.

Be a monk for a year?He doesn't want it!
In fact, after pregnancy, it is not necessary to be a monk for a year, but Lin Yuan still does not want to be pregnant, so she can only use this excuse to fool Xia Zheng.

Seeing that they had finished speaking, shopkeeper Liu came over, and said in a puzzled and worried way: "Boss, girl, I was outside and saw Bai Jing and Qin Shi."

Bai Jing and Qin Shi?
Since making troubles in the cave, Bai Jing's life in the imperial dining room has not been easy. It seems that he wants to use this opportunity to turn himself around.

As for Qin Shi, did he also want to stand up?

"They're all small shrimps, don't worry, we cave geniuses are the final winners!"

Cheng Haoxuan held up a crayfish in one hand to cheer everyone up. Ever since he joined Lin Yuan's family, he has regarded himself as a member of Dongtian.

Having said that, Lin Yuan still took this matter to heart. She had figured out the details of Bai Jing, but she was still a little worried about Qin Shi.

The game time came soon, and when Lin Yuan and the others came out, the old emperor and some court officials had already arrived.

In addition to some of Dayong's courtiers, several representatives from Xiliang and Dongling also came, and these people will be the judges of this chef competition.

In addition, the imperial court also deliberately selected [-] civilian judges for the people, [-] each from Dayong, Xiliang, and Dongling.

Looking at the two familiar figures in the civilian judging area, Lin Yuan couldn't help but laugh.

Lao Fan is a veritable foodie, how could such a grand occasion be without him?

However, he was able to be the judge obviously because the old emperor let the water go in private.

As for the other one, it's much fairer. It's Jin Tan who is known as the Golden Tongue. Since the match between Dongtian and Zuixianlou, Jin Tan's reputation has become even louder.

Not only Yecheng, but also some restaurants in other towns invited him to judge the dishes.

Not only can Jin Tan eat all kinds of delicacies every day, but he is also called a gourmet by everyone. It can be said that he has gained both fame and fortune.

Naturally, he couldn't miss this competition, and, among Dayong's judges, he was obviously the one who took the lead.

Today's competition is very simple. Everyone who participates in the competition cooks two delicacies in the shortest time. The fastest and best will be the winner.

Since the little lady from Dongling didn't come, there would be no strong opponents for today's competition. Xia Zheng had checked the details of the participants in advance, and he was very confident that Lin Yuan would win the first place in the competition.

In fact, it was not only Lin Yuan Xia Zheng, when Lin Yuan started cooking, everyone onlookers also firmly believed that the winner of this competition must be Lin Yuan without a doubt.

However, the truth is always unexpected.

Everyone was shocked when they saw Qin Shi's craftsmanship. That Qin Shi, who was always quiet and honest in the imperial dining room, was actually a hidden master!

Bai Jing wiped his eyes in disbelief, he came to the competition today to stand up.

As for Qin Shi, he also came here under coercion, because he knew that he could not defeat Lin Yuan, so he found Qin Shi who was also in the imperial dining room to be his bottom.

But now it seems that the one who is really at the bottom should be himself again.

Like the imperial chef in the imperial dining room, the dishes made by Qin Shi are very beautiful, but not only beautiful, but also taste good. Although I haven't tasted the taste of the dish, I already know that the taste is absolutely good just by smelling the aroma .

After all, Lin Yuan has seen a lot of worldly situations, and she just glanced at Qin Shi's movements of holding a knife and a spatula, and she knew that this old man was not as simple as he seemed.

Qin Shi made two dishes today, one is called Qunyinghui, in fact, he marinated different radishes with various soups, and after the radishes were stained with the taste of those soups, he made these radishes into different dishes. shape.

Although it is a radish, this dish is not simple. It is not an easy task to make the radish taste good in a short time.

Moreover, Qin Shi's knife skills are really superb, a small piece of carrot in his hand has already turned into a lifelike little rabbit in just a few breaths, very delicate and cute.

Seeing this gathering of heroes, Lin Yuan inexplicably remembered that the radish played in the sketch had a meeting. How could she have imagined that ordinary radishes could really be made into such a palace dish.

Qin Shi's other dish is relatively common. It is a dessert that is often eaten in the palace. It is called Ruyi preserved fruit jelly, but it has also been improved by him.

The various preserved fruits added to the desserts are also made by him in secret, including the most common preserved apples and peaches, as well as the unusual preserved cherries and mangoes in Dayong.

Cherries and mangoes alone are rare, let alone used lavishly as preserved fruit.

Because there are these kinds of uncommon fruits, his wishful fruit jelly is particularly eye-catching.

Shopkeeper Liu Xiaohe and the others were all surprised by Qin Shi's craftsmanship. Where did he, an old man, get so many good things?

Cheng Haoxuan was even more anxious, scratching his head and scratching his head: "Isn't he a pauper? Look, how does he look like a pauper? He actually feeds radishes with ginseng antler? Oh my god, he is a complete black sheep!"

Indeed, the various soups Qin used to pickle radishes are not common ingredients, such as ginseng and velvet antler, that ginseng alone must be at least a hundred years old.

Xia Zheng stroked his chin, and looked with interest at the second prince Zhao Hongsheng who was sitting silently on the table.

Because of Princess Cuiwei's suicide, Zhao Hongsheng was angered by the old emperor, so he kept a low profile these past few months.Sometimes Xia Zheng would think that there is no such person in the capital!
In addition, the call for the third prince to be crowned prince has become much louder recently, and the attitude of the old emperor is also very obvious.

It seems that someone can't sit still!
Although Qin Shi's dishes are outstanding, Lin Yuan's preparations today are not in vain.

She smiled at Xia Zheng and the others, and started cooking.

There are two dishes she is going to cook today, one is spicy crayfish, and the other is roasted whole lamb with a rough taste.

Lin Yuan also made barbecue before, but because of the lack of cumin, the barbecue always lacked a little taste.

But today she is not worried anymore, because Xia Zheng has secretly bought a large amount of cumin from Beirong merchants, not to mention today's competition, it is enough to continue setting up night markets for barbecue next summer.

The crayfish and mutton kebabs were prepared beforehand, and the mutton was also marinated in sauce in advance, so today Lin Yuan only needs to cook it by hand.

Barbecue requires special tools. Fortunately, I have done it before, so there is no need to worry this time.

She first made the spicy crayfish. First, she boiled them in water to remove the uncleaned dirt inside the lobster, then heated up the oil, stir-fried the onion, ginger, garlic, pepper, etc., and finally threw the crayfish in.

Of course, in order to remove the fishy smell, you can't forget to pour the wine.

The taste of crayfish is quickly released after being stir-fried with chili peppers. It is fragrant, spicy and very tempting.

Especially when Lin Yuan stirred the lobster in the pot with a spoon, the red shrimp oil made everyone around the audience swallow their saliva.

Even the old emperor, who hadn't smiled for a long time, showed a look of anticipation very rarely.

When the crayfish was simmering in the pot, Lin Yuan started to roast the skewered mutton skewers on the fire, fanning them with a fan while roasting.

The charcoal fire of the grilled skewers should not have a fire head, otherwise the grilled meat skewers will be burnt on the outside but still raw on the inside.

Moreover, grilling skewers is not an urgent matter, it is best to roast slowly and taste slowly.

It takes a long time for the crayfish to taste. Anyway, the other participants in the competition haven't finished yet, so Lin Yuan is not in a hurry, and just slowly grills the meat skewers in her hand, and from time to time playfully uses a fan to deliberately blow the fragrance to the meat. Fans in the crowd caused everyone to scream.

Ha ha ha ha.

Although it was the twelfth lunar month of winter, Lin Yuan's little face was roasted red by the charcoal fire, which was very attractive. Xia Zheng stood far away opposite, his heart had already moved from the meat skewer to Lin Yuan's body, and the saliva in his mouth was even more drooling. It's just that money is flowing out.

In the crowd, Ma Junying looked at the couple with a smile and shook his head self-deprecatingly.

Ever since Lin Yuan got married, Ma Junying had never shown such a smile, but today, he suddenly felt relieved, Lin Yuan was so bright and radiant, perhaps only a domineering person like Xia Zheng could be worthy of it. fuck her.

And myself...

Ma Junying suddenly had the face of a submissive little girl following carefully behind her. In the past, even if his eyes stayed on her for a moment longer, she would smile happily and bend her eyes.

It's just a pity that that woman has long since passed away.

"Wow, it smells so good!"

Someone in the crowd suddenly screamed, and everyone's shouts followed.

The barbecue in Lin Yuan's hand was already cooked, and the oily flowers were bubbling on the mutton, which was very gratifying.

Coupled with the cumin powder and chili powder that Lin Yuan sprinkled on top, the aroma of the mutton was amplified to the maximum.

Cumin mutton is really a perfect match!
The mutton was roasted, and the crayfish was still a bit undercooked, so Lin Yuan roasted some chicken wings and vegetables by the way.

These things used to be sold in the night market, but Lin Yuan's craftsmanship is naturally not comparable to that of ordinary people. Just by smelling it, it has already surpassed them by several blocks.

Because the two dishes made by Lin Yuan are extremely pungent, even though Qin Shi's dishes are very delicate and delicious, they are still slightly inferior under Lin Yuan's craftsmanship.

Sure enough, no matter the officials on the stage or the common people in the civilian judging area, they couldn't put down Lin Yuan's two dishes.

Even the people from Tanglin praised the crayfish made by Lin Yuan repeatedly, which was much tastier than those made by the locals.

Among the people from Dayong, Dongling and Xiliang, the people from Xiliang are the ones who pay the least attention to refinement. Of course, Helianuo is an exception.Therefore, the two dishes Qin Shi made did not catch their eyes at all.

However, the old emperor and the officials of Dayong were used to the taste of the imperial dining room. Even if Qin Shi made improvements, it was still unavoidable that the imperial dining room was clichéd, so they didn't like it.

As for the Dongling people, they live by the sea all year round, and they appreciate Qin Shi's two delicate dishes that are more like a painting, but they like Lin Yuan's crayfish even more.

Besides, so what if everyone in Dongling likes Qin Shi's dishes?They also only have a dozen or so judges, Dayong and Xiliang combined, but they have twice as many judges!

The final result of the competition was obvious, and Lin Yuan naturally became the winner of the first chef competition.

The old emperor happily ate the crayfish and kebabs on the plate, wiped the oil from his beard, and happily gave Lin Yuan a lot of rewards.

This was the first time since the incident between Cuiwei and Su Tianyou that the old emperor was eating, drinking, talking and laughing with such an appetite. Zhao Hongde and Princess Anle were very happy.

When everyone gathered around Lin Yuan to celebrate, Jin Tan got close to her at some point and whispered something in her ear.

Lin Yuan's expression changed suddenly: "Are you sure?"

Jin Tan nodded his head like a chicken eating rice: "I'm sure, I will never forget that taste, it's exactly the same as that mysterious chef's skill in Zuixianju!"

The four words are exactly the same, and Jin Tan bites them very hard, it seems that he firmly believes in his own judgment.

"It was him!"

The voices of Lin Yuan and Xia Zheng sounded at the same time, the difference is that Lin Yuan knew it because of Jin Tan, while Xia Zheng judged it because of various signs.

At the beginning, there was a mysterious chef behind the Zuixianju in Yecheng. That chef wore a cloak all the year round. No one had seen his real face, but he was a short, slow-moving person.

Originally, Lin Yuan and Xia Zheng speculated whether it was because of his physical disability, but now that he thought about it, he was a normal person at all, and he deliberately pretended to walk like that just to conceal the fact that he was an old man.

That's right, that man in the cloak is exactly Qin Shi who participated in the competition today!

It really surprised Lin Yuan that such an honest Qin Shi was also under the second prince Zhao Hongsheng, and it seemed that he was even more important than Bai Jing.

Also Zhao Hongsheng's confidant, Qin Shi was willing to be bullied by Bai Jing in order to conceal his identity. This person is also a powerful character.

But no matter how powerful it is, it is useless. Qin Shi lost to Lin Yuan today, and Zhao Hongsheng's idea of ​​using food to curry favor with the old emperor was shattered. He will definitely ignore Qin Shi in a short time.

At this time, the discarded chess pieces are a good time to strike.

"Cheng Haoxuan, I have a task for you."

Lin Yuan hooked her fingers at Cheng Haoxuan with a smile, her wicked smile made Cheng Haoxuan's back feel chills.

It seems that someone is going to be unlucky.

Sure enough, someone was going to be unlucky. Three days later, something big or small happened in the imperial dining room. The ginseng used to make ginseng soup for the old emperor was turned into an old radish!
To put it mildly, this is the fault of the palace people, but to put it too big, it is the crime of deceiving the emperor!

Lu Chong, who was in charge of the imperial dining room, immediately ordered people to investigate the matter thoroughly, and then found a few stalks of century-old ginseng in the place where Qin Shi piled firewood.

Someone immediately thought of the [-]-year-old ginseng that Qin Shi used in the chef competition, and immediately shouted that Qin Shi was the thief!
Qin Shi couldn't argue with a hundred words, and in a hurry said that the ginseng he used was given by the second prince.

But people don't believe it anymore.

The first unbelievers were Bai Jing.

"Old man, don't be a fucking fool! I am a member of His Highness the Second Highness. If you are too, why didn't His Highness tell me? You stole something and want to frame His Highness? I think you are impatient!"

In Bai Jing's "generous speech", Qin Shi was finally expelled from the imperial dining room.

There is a clear rule in the palace that anyone who works in the imperial dining room cannot work anywhere outside the palace.

Even if Qin Shi didn't steal anything, he couldn't hang around in the imperial dining room anymore.

Lu Chong came to Qin Shi's side, told him that he was the man in the cloak, and left the marriage that he wanted to argue for right away honestly.

The second prince has been out of power for a long time, and he wanted to use this competition to win the old emperor's favor again, but he didn't want to spend so much money and material resources, and it was still nothing.

What annoyed him even more was that at the New Year's palace banquet, the old emperor actually announced his third son, Zhao Hongde, as the crown prince!

Even though he crushed the wine glass in his hand, even if he wanted to unite his subordinates to take back the crown prince, Zhao Hongsheng didn't realize until then that only Bai Jing and Qin Shi were the only ones who still followed him.

Not to mention snatching back the crown prince, even if he wanted to say something useful in the court, no one would care.

The old emperor's health was getting worse and worse, and many affairs in the court had been handed over to the prince, and the old emperor either talked with the heartbroken queen every day, or called Lin Yuan into the palace to cook him something delicious.

Although he didn't have the title of Supreme Emperor, the old emperor seemed to be a veritable Supreme Emperor now.

Going to the palace to cook every day is too much to delay the intimate and sweet life of the young couple, so under Xia Zheng's strong suggestion, the old emperor readily agreed that no matter what the origin of the royal chef in the palace, he would be trained and selected by Dongtian Then you can enter the palace as an errand.

Therefore, Dongtian started a new money-making project after training the cooks of your official residence in Beijing.

Three years later, the first imperial chef selection contest kicked off with excitement. After many selections and competitions, Gao Xuan and Cheng Haoxuan won the first prize at the same time!
Gao Xuanzhi is not here, although he won No.1, he is willing to stay in Dongtian as a chef.

Cheng Haoxuan successfully entered the imperial dining room in the palace and took over the position of his master Lu Chong.

Another two years.

At the end of the bustling snack street in the capital, there stands a small embroidery building with three floors.

Don't look at the appearance of this embroidered building, but there is something special inside.

Entering the Embroidery Building, there are all cubicles one after another, and there are many little girls who are sitting with their heads down, thinking about their plans, or burying their heads in sorting out their account books.

These girls all looked serious and were very serious about their affairs.

The second floor is relatively open, and is divided into three different areas, with big signs saying "Dongtian", "Yimingxuan" and "Changyin Pavilion" respectively.

Under each big sign are men and women who are busy doing things, but these people are obviously much less than the people on the first floor.

As for the third floor, the decoration and furnishings are more refined and luxurious.

There is a small sign on the door of each room, or it says "finance", or it says "sales".

At the end of the corridor, in a room marked "Chairman", Lin Yuan was looking down at the account book in front of her.

Standing in front of her was a young girl transferred from Yimingxuan, she was very shrewd and capable.

"Chairman, this is the account book of Dongtian for this quarter, please have a look."

"This is Yimingxuan's account book for this quarter, please have a look."

"This is Changyin Pavilion's account books for this quarter, please have a look."

"This is the account book of Fumanlou and several branches this year, please have a look."

Lin Yuan lowered her head and took the account books one by one. When she received the last one, she suddenly raised her head: "Fumanlou? Isn't that Xia Zheng's property? Why did you hand it over here?"

The little girl smiled embarrassingly: "Well, my uncle hasn't looked at the account book for more than a year. The people below have no choice but to hand it over to us."

more than a year?

What has Xia Zheng been doing this year!
"My uncle! Where has he gone?"

The little girl coughed, threw Xia Zheng's previous confession out of the blue, and told the news very "justly": "Young master and the young lady are going to Dongling to taste the new Suanxiang Xiao... Hey, chairman, you go Where! Miss, Miss, you can't go, what should we do if you leave our business..."

The little girl followed slowly, but where was Lin Yuan?

She suddenly slapped her forehead, yes, the lady is gone, and there are two young masters!These two young masters are smarter than the other!
However, before she could turn around to look for someone, two small shadows had already rushed out beside her, leaving only the hasty roar of the two in her ears.

"It's all your fault, you have to shit! Now that our parents leave us behind, you are such a big trouble!"

"Brother, wait for me, oops! Parents are the most eccentric, and they only take the younger sister and not us when we go to Dongling. Are we really biological?"

"I am, you are not!"

"Ah? Really? No, we look exactly the same. I'm not. How could you be?"
