I am imprisoned in Kaifeng Mansion

Ever since Cui Mao came to recognize Cui Tao, Han Qi asked people to thoroughly investigate the situation and personnel relationship of Cui's family.

He naturally knew about the cousin relationship between Lu Gongbi and Cui Tao.

The Cui family is a famous family with deep roots, and there are not a few dignitaries who are related to it.Han Qi was curious at first, after Cui Mao left, who else would come looking for Cui Tao.I have considered many people, but I did not expect that as a cousin, Lu Gongbi would come to the door in person, and even found Bao Zheng directly.

Lu Gongbi was the second son of Lu Yijian, the Prime Minister of the current dynasty. He had status but no official rank, so it was very suitable for him to show up at such a sensitive time.

"Brother Baochen can come instead." Han Qi deliberately said this to test Lu Gongbi.

Lu Gongbi said coldly: "Why should I protect her? She committed a crime and shamed the Cui family, she deserved what she did. My father said, I don't ask for forgiveness, I just ask Bao Fu Yin to give the Cui family a little face, so that the Cui family can be treated like this. There is no need to overstate the scandal.”

Bao Zheng nodded, applauding Lu Xianggong's behavior of not getting involved in the case of Kaifeng Mansion, and Kaifeng Mansion didn't mean to publicize Cui Tao's identity too much.

"Zhigui, entertain Baochen for me." After Bao Zheng said that, he hurried away.It's not yet time for him to go out in person, let the two young people do the trick first.

"Why do you want to protect her?" Lu Gongbi immediately questioned Han Qi.

Han Qi laughed, and didn't answer Lu Gongbi, but it was equivalent to answering.He decided to keep it. As for the reason, Lu Gongbi should have heard it when he was changing clothes in the back room, but he didn't. Given the status of their Lu family, it was easy to inquire about something.

"Let's go." Han Qi led the way first.

Lu Gongbi's lips moved, but he didn't say anything after all, and followed Han Qi to a courtyard in the west of the mansion.

This place is quite remote, but it is quiet. Lu Gongbi looked up at the plaque, and it was called "Desolate Courtyard".

Suddenly a light breeze blows, and there is a faint scent of green onions wafting out of the courtyard, and the smell becomes stronger and stronger, and it is also mixed with fresh fragrance.It's almost time for dinner now, and the smell can easily make people feel hungry.

Lu Gongbi looked at Han Qi suspiciously. He thought that Han Qi would take him to the prison to meet Cui Tao, but he didn't understand why he brought him here.Just as he was about to ask questions, he saw the courtyard door suddenly opened, and the two yamen servants humbly saluted Han Qi and said hello.

There are flowers and grass in the yard, and the scenery is quiet and beautiful. Only the sound of cooking can be heard from a house in the west.

Cui Tao heard the movement, held a wooden spoon in her hand, and stuck her head out of the small kitchen window.

"Han Tuiguan is here? I'm making noodles with scallion oil."

Her voice is cheerful, her smile is clear and clean, and her face is as clear and flawless as before.Even with a scarf on her head, the smell of fireworks is strong at this moment, and she has become mortal. If the gods see her, they will be willing to remove the fairy bones for her, and sink into the world with her.

Lu Gongbi stared fixedly at Cui Tao's face, his hands clenched into fists behind him.

Han Qi glanced sideways at Lu Gongbi, and noticed that his cheeks were tense, as if he was gritting his teeth.It seems that there is some past between Lu Gongbi and Cui Tao, so it is not in vain to bring him here.

Cui Tao naturally noticed that Han Qi had brought someone more, but she just glanced at Lu Gongbi hastily.He is handsome and handsome, his cold eyes make him extremely cold, his clothes, boots, belt and pendants are all very valuable, and he is of a very good background.

He is inferior to Han Qi in terms of appearance and noble temperament, but he is far superior in terms of coldness and hostility.

Cui Tao hurriedly turned around and added soup to the scallion oil in the pot.

After the pot was covered, she ran out of the house in a hurry.

Lu Gongbi's eyes were fixed on Cui Tao's direction from beginning to end, and his fists were clenched tighter and tighter.His eyes were full of anger, as if he would go out to take someone's life at any time, the kind of life that is skinned, cramped, fleshed and boned.

Cui Tao took off the square scarf around her head, and her black hair was instantly scattered on her shoulders like a waterfall, making her face more radiant and soft.She happily walked up to Han Qi to pay her respects, with a few strands of hair flying in the wind, adding a sense of elegance, not out of the ordinary.

Seeing Cui Tao's state, Han Qi couldn't help but think of how depressed she was when he sent her back to Kaifeng Mansion yesterday.Is she forgetful?Still easy to be happy?

"This is your cousin." Han Qi introduced quietly.

Cui Tao then took another look at Lu Gongbi, sizing him up carefully with unfamiliar eyes.

Even though he already knew about Cui Tao's amnesia, Lu Gongbi still couldn't bear it anymore, the eyes he stared at Cui Tao became more and more cold, and the atmosphere of threatening his life strengthened again.

After hearing Han Qi's brief introduction of Lu Gongbi's situation, Cui Tao happily greeted Lu Gongbi, tilted her head and raised her eyebrows and asked him, "Is my cousin here to rescue me?"

His eyes were full of hope, and his eyes were clear, full of pure pleading.

Lu Gongbi stared at Cui Tao for a long time, and his clenched fist behind his back trembled slightly.Suddenly, he sneered, his voice was sullen, so cold that there was no warmth.

"Yes, to see you."

Come to see if you are dead, so that I can collect your body.

"I never thought that my uncle would be the court minister!" Cui Tao said happily, and then asked Lu Gongbi with a smile if her uncle and aunt were in good health, and asked him again when he could rescue her.

Lu Gongbi stared at Cui Tao who was full of innocence and asking stupid questions, and the sneer on the corner of his mouth was even worse.He thought she would be ashamed to see her, even if she lost her memory, she should be aware of her situation and be ashamed to see him.

But the fact is not the case, she is like an ignorant child who doesn't know anything, let alone why she is ashamed to think that he can rescue her out.

Lu Gongbi didn't want to answer any of Cui Tao's questions anymore, he didn't even want to look at her again, so he walked away coldly.

Han Qi glanced at Cui Tao, then followed Lu Gongbi.In some cases, he still needs to learn from Lu Gongbi.

Cui Tao shrugged helplessly, and after tiptoing to make sure the two left, she hurried back to the kitchen, lifted the lid of the pot and looked at the soup inside.

Fortunately, fortunately, the people were driven away in time, and there was nothing wrong with it.

That Lu Gongbi didn't seem to be a good quarrel at first glance, he seemed to come to settle accounts with her.Cui Tao doesn't like our side being completely blank, and the opponent's full horsepower output state, it's best to leave.

Cui Tao stirred the soup in the pot with a wooden spoon, and added the shrimp.With the boiling steam, a more intense fragrance floated out.

Boiled scallion oil, as the name suggests, must be rich in scallion flavor to be considered successful.When the snow-white lard has just melted in the pot, add the scallion white when it is not too hot. After the scallion white is browned and dry, take it out, add the scallion leaves and continue to boil until all the scallions are cooked. After the leaves are dried, they are boiled in soy sauce, salt, sugar and chicken stock.When it is time to start the pot, add the shrimps. It must not be cooked for too long, otherwise the shrimps will not be tender.

Cui Tao likes to add eggs when eating noodles with scallion oil. Crack the eggs and add a little starch to spread them into thin golden egg cakes. Then cut the egg cakes into shreds, mix them with the noodles, and finally mix well That's it, add chopped green onion, coriander and sesame seeds, and a plate of fragrant noodles with scallion oil is the finished product.

Another plate of cold sweet and sour carrots, served with noodles with scallion oil, is just right.

When Cui Tao brought the food back to the house, Li Cai, who was in charge of guarding, and another yamen servant couldn't help but straighten their eyes and swallow subconsciously when they saw this.It's not that they are greedy, it's that the scallion oil made by Mrs. Cui is so fragrant, it is even more fragrant than other people's stewed meat.

"Do you want to eat it? I can also make one for you," Cui Tao said.

Li Cai hurriedly shook his head: "Thank you Madam Cui, we are on duty, we must not eat indiscriminately. But Madam Cui, can you tell me how to do it, and I will ask my sister-in-law to make it for me later."

Cui Tao quietly gave Li Cai a wink, saying that there is no problem, these are small things.

Li Cai chuckled, knowing that he had helped Mrs. Cui successfully move into this courtyard, and Mrs. Cui had already regarded him as her 'her own'.Thinking that he would learn a lot of skills from Mrs. Cui in the future, Li Cai couldn't restrain his excitement even more.

"Brother Baochen seems to have a lot of resentment towards the Cui family." Seeing Lu Gongbi walking faster and faster, Han Qi stopped first.

Lu Gongbi also stopped when he heard the words, and turned around abruptly.

"I just want to ask you, is Kaifeng Mansion still a fair Kaifeng mansion? How can there be a trial of prisoners, but they treat prisoners like guests? Since she is related to the salt transportation map, she should be sentenced to death and go to death row."

"He has not been convicted yet, and he has made meritorious service in helping to solve the case. This kind of treatment is not excessive."

Lu Gongbi sneered: "That's right, with someone like Brother Zhigui as her guarantor, she will naturally enjoy herself in Kaifeng Mansion. I would like to advise Brother Zhigui, don't bend the law because of her favoritism, this woman is not worth it."

"She betrayed you?" Han Qi was straightforward.

Lu Gongbi looked like a beast that had just escaped from the trap and was stabbed in the wound again. He gave Han Qi a hard look, turned around and left.

Han Qi looked at Lu Gongbi's back and chuckled lightly.When he turned around, he saw Bao Zheng standing not far away, watching Lu Gongbi's back as he left.

"Did you find anything?" Bao Zheng asked.

"This Cui family is quite interesting, so that the second son of the prime minister's family still remembers her so much."

Bao Zheng raised his eyebrows in surprise, "Do you still remember?"

Everyone could see Lu Gongbi's behavior just now, and he was very angry, as if he wanted Cui Tao to die on the spot.

"Deep love, deep hatred." Han Qi said.

Bao Zheng nodded thoughtfully, and told Han Qi to be more careful and cautious.Don't catch the big fish, let the small fish slip away first.

"Remember, sir."

……

When Han Qi came to see Cui Tao, Cui Tao was sucking the last mouthful of noodles with scallion oil, and the brown-red soup was glistening on her pink cherry lips.

Anyone who sees her like this will find it hard to imagine that she came from a famous family.

Cui Tao quickly wiped her mouth with a handkerchief, and smiled at Han Qi.

"You have a good appetite."

The implication: Your cousin came suddenly, and he was so aggressive like Ma, and you didn't react at all?

"Don't remember, worrying is useless."

Having died for so many years, and going through countless reincarnations, Cui Tao has long looked down on many things.No memory means no memory, and doing unnecessary entanglements will not lead to better results. It is better to enjoy the present moment and taste the delicious food bite by bite.

"Your second cousin may have an old relationship with you, and he is unwilling to reveal too much. I will take you to see your third cousin, Lu Gongru, later."

"Okay, it's not the best way to meet people while eating." Cui Tao responded smoothly.

Han Qi understood Cui Tao's voice in an instant, co-authored that just now she disliked him for bringing Lu Gongbi to her while eating?

From this, I can't help but imagine that Cui Tao's stupid performance just now was to drive away customers deliberately in order to eat noodles with scallion oil while it was hot?

Han Qi took a slow breath and looked at Cui Tao with new eyes.

Cui Tao realized that she had made a slip of the tongue, and with eyes full of smiles, she flattered Han Qi: "Officer Han Tui is much more handsome than my fierce second cousin, and even more talented than him. I heard that second cousin Han Tuiguan is one year older, but he hasn't passed the examination yet, so he doesn't seem to be very good at it."

Han Qi was stunned for a moment, and then thought of Lu Gongbi's warning to him, 'this woman is not worth it'.But because she is good at deceiving others with sweet words?

While Cui Tao was giggling, she accidentally knocked over the teacup.She suddenly darkened her face, looking at the state of tea spilled on the table.Cui Tao looked up and calculated, then frowned and asked Han Qi if he could not go out to see Lu Gongru today.

"reason?"

Cui Taolang said in a loud voice: "I counted, if I go out tonight, there will be bloodshed."

Han Qi: "..."

At dusk, they still went out.

There is no other reason, because Han Qi does not believe in evil.

Cui Tao changed into men's clothing and dressed up as a servant, and followed Han Qi out of Kaifeng mansion with Wang Zhao.

The three of them had just descended the stone steps and walked a few steps away when suddenly a figure rushed up, knelt down in front of Han Qi, and burst into tears.
