After rebirth, I became a treacherous minister Black Moonlight

Large kitchen.

The chefs with superb cooking skills are busy in full swing.

Suddenly the manager came in in a hurry and said he wanted to change the menu.

The chef looked confused: "Why change it now? What does the princess want to eat?"

The steward closed his eyes and began to announce the names of the dishes: "Roast suckling pig, roast whole lamb, roast rabbit, roast fish, roast eggplant, roast chicken, roast... you can decide what to roast."

The head chef looked at him with his hands on his hips: "Are you kidding me? Our princess is a refined person. Would she eat things like roast suckling pig, roast rabbit, and roast whole lamb?"

The princess held a banquet with elegance as the main theme. The names of the dishes were all taken from poems. What the hell is roast suckling pig?

The steward thought for a moment and said, "Then... Fiery Black Gold, Buddha Fire Treasure, Pulsating Moon, Dragon Leaping into the Volcano. Wait, what are roasted eggplant and roasted chicken called? Ah, I got it, Love between a Man and a Woman, Phoenix in the Sky!"

Chef: “…”

In the small garden.

Meng Qianqian sat at the seats for the Zhou and Lin families, while Baoshu lay in Mrs. Lin's arms and fell asleep.

Mrs. Zhou was so jealous: "Have you hugged enough? It's my turn now."

Mrs. Lin leaned to the side and said, "I didn't hug you enough."

Mrs. Zhou was sulking.

Damn it, I can never win against her!

To the left of Meng Qianqian is Lin Xiaoru, and to the right is Zhou Nanyan.

Zhou Nanyan looked at Liu Qingyun and Princess Wanping on the upper left and asked suspiciously, "Sister Meng, why do I feel like something is wrong?"

Meng Qianqian ate a braised peanut and asked, "What's wrong?"

Zhou Nanyan said: "Princess Wanping, don't you think Princess Wanping is too kind to your mother-in-law?"

Meng Qianqian nodded: "I think so."

"Then you still..." Zhou Nanyan glanced at Princess Wanping who was personally entertaining Liu Qingyun, "making room for her, aren't you afraid that she has ulterior motives?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Xiaoru also looked at the two of them.

Meng Qianqian spread her hands: "She is a princess, I can't stop her."

Zhou Nanyan muttered: "I guess you don't want to stop it."

Meng Qianqian smiled.

Yes, she was more than happy to have Princess Wanping entertain Liu Qingyun, otherwise how would she have the opportunity to move around?

Zhou Nanyan sighed, "Sister Meng, you should be more careful. People are trying to snatch a man right to your door. If we had known what she meant, we wouldn't have come here today. By the way, Sister Meng, are you feeling any movement in your stomach?"

Meng Qianqian’s smile froze.

Uh... why are we talking about this?

She smiled slightly: "Well, I drank too much tea, I'm going to the toilet."

Zhou Nanyan said: "Sister Lin and I will go with you."

Lin Xiaoru had no objection.

Meng Qianqian quickly waved her hand: "No, no."

Zhou Nanyan and Lin Xiaoru looked at her in confusion.

Meng Qianqian said calmly, "You... help me keep an eye on Princess Wanping. I'm afraid she'll use other tricks to please my mother-in-law."

Zhou Nanyan thought about it and it made sense. It was more important to help Sister Meng guard against her love rival.

Meng Qianqian, Madam Lin and Madam Zhou also greeted them.

Mrs. Lin hugged Baoshu and said with a smile, "Go ahead. We'll take care of the child. Besides, your mother-in-law is here too."

"Hey." Meng Qianqian went.

She first asked a maid in the princess's mansion, and the maid wanted to show her the way.

Meng Qianqian said: "Just tell me."

The maid said, "Go east from the garden and walk through a winding corridor and you will arrive."

Meng Qianqian naturally didn't go to the toilet, she wanted to find Chen Long.

But the princess’s mansion is so big, where would Chen Long be?

I thought Princess Wanping would bring out Chen Long, one of the Twelve Guards, to show off, but I never thought that the princess really used Chen Long as a secret guard.

Meng Qianqian looked around but couldn't find it. She stood on a white marble arch bridge and thought, "Where else have I not found?"

"What are you doing here?"

A familiar voice came from one end of the arch bridge.

Meng Qianqian's eyes lit up, and she turned to look at him: "Brother!"

Chen Long was still wearing a black brocade robe, a bamboo hat on his head, and a heavy sword on his back.

Hearing Meng Qianqian's address, he said coldly: "I didn't agree to be your brother."

"Brother, I've been looking for you for a long time!"

Whether you agree or not, you are my brother.

Meng Qianqian walked down the arch bridge with brisk steps, raised her smiling face and said to him: "It's been more than a month since we last met. Do you miss Xiaojiu?"

Chen Long's eyes moved.

The fact that my brother responded to "Xiaojiu" at least shows that he did not lose his memory.

God knows how afraid she was that her brother's memory had been destroyed, so he recognized the thief as his father.

It seems there is another hidden story.

Meng Qianqian said calmly: "Brother, I heard from Yinhu...Master that you are the most powerful one among the twelve guards. Why did you become the adopted son of Prime Minister Xun?"

Chen Long asked coldly: "What does it have to do with you?"

Meng Qianqian said: "I am also one of the Twelve Guards, so of course it has something to do with me."

Chen Long looked towards the distant sky and said, "There are no more Twelve Guards in the world."

Meng Qianqian thought for a moment and said, "Do you want to use Prime Minister Xun's power to investigate the Chu family's case? The King of Chu is the flesh and blood of the retired emperor, and the Chu family was murdered by the crown prince. Now that I have told you the truth, there is no need for you to stay with Prime Minister Xun."

Chen Long passed by her without saying a word.

Meng Qianqian turned around and caught up with him: "Why do you have to stay with Prime Minister Xun?"

Chen Long said: "I said, it has nothing to do with you."

Meng Qianqian stopped him and looked at him calmly: "Well, let's change the question. Who are you? I'm not referring to your identity as one of the Twelve Guards. I'm referring to your family background before you became one of the Twelve Guards."

Chen Long met Meng Qianqian's gaze, and for a moment, something flashed in his eyes.

However, he soon shifted his gaze away, walked around Meng Qianqian and continued walking forward.

Meng Qianqian looked at his back. As she watched him walk farther and farther away, she suddenly took out a bone flute from her long sleeves, put it to her lips and began to play it softly.

The melodious flute sounds like nature's music, a whisper at dusk, the first ray of dawn in the morning, the blood ties that accompany each other day and night, and the flashes of swords that cause mountains to collapse and the earth to split.

Chen Long’s expression paused.

He clenched his fists and suddenly activated his Qinggong skills, so fast that only a shadow was left.

Meng Qianqian only blinked, and he had already snatched the bone from her hand.

"Where did it come from?"

"Don't tell you."

"I'm asking about the music."

"I won't tell you either."

Meng Qianqian turned her head away and looked up at the sky.

Chen Long looked at her suspiciously: "Why are you asking who I am?"

Meng Qianqian cleared her throat and said frankly, "Since we are both members of the Twelve Guards, I can answer this question for you. The reason why the prince was able to destroy the Chu family was because he had an insider in the Chu family. I suspect there is a traitor among the Twelve Guards. In order to find out who the traitor is, I must find out everyone's background and the reasons why you risked your lives to become the Twelve Guards."

Chen Long: "For my sister."

Meng Qianqian: "Your sister is——"
