When Steward Zhuang was called in front of Qi Yunheng, the first thing he did was to give his master a resentful look.

His set of skills that only apply to the harem and the back house have not been used for more than ten years, it is obviously 80 years!

This trick was taught to him by Zhao He, who was still His Royal Highness, so that he could protect his two little masters from perishing in the back house of Uncle Qingyang's mansion.

Who would have thought that Feng Shui would take turns, and today, he would actually use this skill to help Emperor Kanglong Zhao He's enemies.

Housekeeper Zhuang originally had a good impression of Emperor Kanglong Zhao He, and felt that he supported his master a lot, and even gave the Qingyang uncle's mansion unattainable glory and wealth.

However, ever since his master was almost robbed by Zhao He, and Zhao He's wolf ambition for his master was exposed in that incident, Steward Zhuang realized that there is no love for no reason in this world. He loves Miss Yu Jin so much that he loves Wu and Wudi to take care of his master, but the fact is the complete opposite, it is Miss Jin who has been favored by his master.

After knowing this, Steward Zhuang's perception of Zhao He plummeted.

Although the current emperor's wife is also very annoying to him, but his master eats the emperor's wife to death, even if some husbands are weak, they can't stand the grievances and suffer.

If the emperor's wife is replaced by Zhao He, his master will never be as leisurely and free as he is now, doing whatever he wants.

Butler Zhuang clearly remembered how Zhao He made his master go round and round.

At that time, I just felt that it was worthwhile to shed blood, sweat, and work hard to make contributions and to assist the master Hibiscus in the palace.

But now that I think about it again, is it worth a fart? !

His master has done so many things, endured so many evils and karma, and in the end, Zhao He got all the benefits, but what about his master?Even a title was taken back by himself.

If I had known this before, I might as well have followed the example of the emperor's wife, overthrew the previous dynasty, killed the old emperor, and become the emperor myself!

You know, when Emperor Kanglong was still the prince, Cheng Guo was also in chaos for a while, and his master also had soldiers, money and food in his hands, and the conditions were not worse than the emperor's wife now!

It's a pity, I regret it.

Fortunately, although there is no medicine for regret in this world, you can learn a lot of wisdom by taking a fall.

It is precisely because of the experience of those years that he and his master know clearly that a person like Zhao He is absolutely not suitable for getting along day and night, digging out his heart and lungs.

The butler Zhuang was thinking wildly while checking the two dishes pretendingly.

In fact, as soon as he saw those two dishes, Steward Zhuang had already guessed what was going on. The reason why he didn't say anything clearly was that he was thinking about how to quickly and quickly find out the root cause, so that his emperor's wife could follow the clues. Get all the participants on this vine into the net.

"May I ask you a question." Zhuang Steward made up his mind, turned around, and asked in the direction where Qi Yunheng and Ouyang were, "Is the imperial chef in charge of cooking these two dishes...alive? The old servant wants to invite this imperial chef Re-cook these two dishes."

Qi Yunheng didn't respond immediately, but turned his gaze to Eunuch Wei beside him.

Eunuch Wei immediately bowed and said, "Your maidservant will go down and make arrangements."

Soon, the imperial chef who was in charge of cooking these two dishes was brought up by the guards, but there were two people, one tall and the other short.

Both of these two have obviously been tortured, but the torturers kept their sense of proportion and did not let the two of them be completely abolished. Although it is impossible to cook the dishes by themselves, but commanding two young eunuchs who can cook, let them They have no problem copying a dish according to the process.

He watched the little eunuch prepare the two dishes under the guidance of the two imperial chefs, but the butler Zhuang did not go over to taste them. He directly picked up a jar of longan from the table where the seasonings were placed in the imperial dining room, and picked up the ingredients from the side. He picked up a basket of soybeans for grinding on the stage, brought these two items back to Qi Yunheng and Ouyang, and asked Qi Yunheng to send someone to investigate the origin of these two items, and whether there was any stock in the warehouse of the imperial dining room.

"These two things are harmful poisons?" Qi Yunheng was quite surprised.

"These longans are soaked in water and then dried, and these soybeans are also cultivated from the soil processed with medicinal materials." Zhuang Steward explained, "If you eat it directly, you can eat either one or both. , will not kill people; but once it is used in cooking, soaked in hot soup and hot oil, and then mixed in the stomach, it will become a chronic poison. A small amount of consumption can cause diarrhea, causing the false appearance of dysentery, which is easily misleading Doctors, so that it is impossible to prescribe the right medicine; a large amount of consumption is a deadly poison, and it is even more difficult to cure. This method has been recorded in Luan State's "Miscellaneous Notes of the Imperial Hospital". It is said that a prince of Luan State died fall into this means."

"Damn it!" Qi Yunheng clenched his fists angrily, turned his head and told Eunuch Wei, "Go and investigate!"

"Here!" Eunuch Wei took the order and left.

In less than half an hour, Eunuch Wei arrested all the handlers of these two ingredients, and mobilized the Golden Knife Guards to arrest the merchants who sold these two ingredients outside the palace.

During this period, under the instruction of Ouyang, the housekeeper Zhuang checked the seasonings and ingredients in the imperial dining room one by one, and found another sauce that had been tampered with.

Eating this sauce for a long time can make people infertile. Fortunately, the dishes cooked with this sauce are not liked by the emperor and concubines. Only the royal chef who chooses this sauce loves its taste. It is a blessing in misfortune to often steal food.

Although it was found that the source of the poisoning incident was the ingredients rather than the cook who cooked the dishes, if no one in the palace informed the outside, how would outsiders know that they could tamper with these two dishes?Therefore, the investigation will continue, and the imperial dining room will not be able to open for a while.

But these things have nothing to do with Steward Zhuang and Ouyang. Eunuch Wei, Gao Ming, and Pan Wuchun are the ones to do the hard work.

Because it was still early and he couldn't relax, Qi Yunheng only sent Ouyang back to the Summer Palace, and then got up and drove back to Qiankun Palace.

As soon as Qi Yunheng left, Steward Zhuang moved closer to Ouyang and whispered, "Master, guess who gave us a gift?"

"Yan family?" Ouyang gave the answer without thinking.

Butler Zhuang suddenly looked depressed, "Why do you guess so accurately? How boring!"

"There's no need to guess?" Ouyang gave Steward Zhuang a look of contempt. "Recently, something will come to our heads. Who else but the Yan family? You can guess it with your toes!"

"Then... do you care?" Zhuang Butler asked shyly.

"What the hell!" Ouyang curled his lips and snorted coldly, "Just accept the gift, there's no way to do anything!"

Ouyang had tried Qi Yunheng's tone a long time ago, and knew that he planned to release Concubine Yan after the announcement of the re-election list of show girls, so as to prevent the Yan family from being dissatisfied with the fact that all of their show girls were disqualified for re-selection, and then discuss with others. Those who were screened out of the checklist joined forces to make trouble.

Ouyang also didn't want Concubine Yan Gui to be released,

Through Pang Zhong's news channel, Ouyang has already learned that Yan Zhiwen is seeking to be released, Yan Zhiwu is trying to stay in Beijing, and Yan Guifei's current husband will also go to the capital to take this year's Jinshi examination before autumn. After being arrested, the three brothers and sisters will not leave Beijing for a short time.

Steward Zhuang also took out his staff to walk around Yan's mansion, and learned that Yan Yongchang had also left his hometown and would arrive in the capital in a few days.

In this way, all the young and old of the Yan family will gather in the capital.

Concubine Yan did not leave, and the Yan family would not leave Beijing easily in order to rescue her; but if Concubine Yan was released early, she might have fled the capital out of fear, and Ouyang lost a great opportunity to wipe out the Yan family.

"Those people who went to track Zhao He haven't sent back any news?" Ouyang turned to ask what he was more concerned about.

On the second day after the subordinates were sent out, Guihuo and Wu Da's team discovered the stronghold where Zhao He's group had stayed - it was a courtyard of an official's house, but it was a pity that the courtyard was empty, obviously On the night when the robbery failed, they decisively evacuated.The ghost fire and others continued to follow the traces in the other courtyard, and did not send back any news after that.

"It's all just a report of safety." Steward Zhuang shook his head, "Wu Er's men and horses seem to have bitten people, but those people evacuated very quickly, and they have not been able to catch up."

Ouyang frowned, pinched his fingers to calculate the time, and soon had a bad premonition.

"Release the ravens immediately after you return to the mansion, let them all come back, don't chase them, let's wait and see in the capital!"

"Here!" Housekeeper Zhuang nodded in response, but then talked about Ou Jing's marriage.

After hearing the mess in Chengenhou's mansion, Ouyang snorted coldly, "Go and tell Jing'er yourself, just say that I can't get away recently, let her decide for herself, ask for money or someone, even Come to my mansion to pick it up, there is only one condition: don't suffer!"

"Master..." Steward Zhuang hesitated, "After Miss Jing gets married, will Nanny Bai and Xiao Qing continue to follow her?"

"Why, what do the two of them think?" Ouyang raised his eyebrows and asked back.

"Bai Nai gave me a message that she wanted to go back to the mansion to spend the rest of her life." The butler Zhuang replied, "Xiaoqing never said anything."

"Bai Momo wants to come back, then let her come back." Ouyang thought for a while, "By the way, ask Xiaoqing what she means. If she also wants to go back to the house, then do everything as usual and assign another job; if she still doesn't want to When you come back, if you want to continue to stay by Jing’er’s side, then explain everything clearly and give her the salary for the next ten years at once.”

Butler Zhuang heard what Ouyang meant: if Xiaoqing wants to go back to the mansion, then she is still loyal to them and can continue to be hired like Nanny Bai; if she doesn't want to go back, then she has other thoughts and there is no need to force her to stay. Well, it's better to give her a severance package for the sake of following Ou Jing for many years and let her decide her own way.

——The master is trying to let go of Miss Jing, right?

Butler Zhuang muttered something in his heart, but he didn't say anything on the spot.

Steward Zhuang had long felt that his master's kindness to Miss Jing was not really good, but it was because he saw the shadow of Miss Ou Jin in Miss Jing back then, and he felt empathy.

But a fake is a fake, and no matter what, it will never become real. His master now has no shortage of living people to send his love to. Compared with the fake niece who can only empathize, of course it is still a fresh and real pillow. People on the sidelines are even more worrying.

What's more, his master is small-minded, while the emperor's wife is a big man.

Miss Jing is petite and exquisite, and she could still squeeze in her master's heart, but she was unlucky, and another Zhao He came out halfway, which made her master remember the past and have new thoughts, so Miss Jing just Can be out of the game sadly, no matter how hard you try to squeeze in, you can't squeeze in.
