Traveling through life to become rich

Chapter 88 Suspicious Clouds

After Lu Xing left, Xie Mingyu slept for a while with Shen Yanzhi in his arms, and didn't get up until Chen Shi. After washing up, he ate a few bites of breakfast, and then went to the outer imperial dining room with Lu Xing.

The outer imperial dining room is mainly responsible for the imperial banquet, but sometimes it also prepares meals for the ministers on duty in the palace. Now the prince named him to have lunch here, which is considered an extra honor.

At this time, a hungry aroma filled the outer imperial dining room, and the broth boiled with seafood was bubbling.

Yan Chuan made a seafood noodle dish and a white jade soybean milk dish himself.

Seafood Noodles is a kind of cold noodles. The tough noodles are soaked in the sauce boiled in seafood broth, and then covered with a layer of cooked and sliced ​​shrimp, served with ice flakes, and drizzled with a layer of sesame oil. It tastes very refreshing.

White jade soy milk is a dessert. The beans soaked in honey water are ground into soy milk, boiled and ordered into sweet and soft bean curd, sprinkled with sesame, walnut, almond and other dried fruit powder after frying until fragrant, and finally spread a layer The milk is smooth, and the honey, fruit and frankincense are wrapped in layers after the entrance, which makes people want to stop.

These two dishes seem simple, but the subtleties are extremely difficult to handle, especially the control of the heat, if you are not careful, you will fail, and the taste will be far away.

Xie Mingyu and Lu Xing looked at each other, and saw a hint of caution in each other's eyes.He couldn't help thinking of the one-on-one group arena match three days later, and his heart became hotter. The stronger the opponent, the more interesting it will be.

The two stayed in the outer imperial dining room until noon before returning, and not long after returning to the room, someone knocked on the door.

Shen Yanzhi stayed in the room and read all morning, and was sitting at the table drinking tea when he heard the knock on the door, he hurriedly put the cups on the table, and quickly walked behind the screen.

Seeing this, Xie Mingyu couldn't help smiling, and got up to open the door.

There was a little eunuch standing outside the door, holding a big food box in his hand. After seeing Xie Mingyu, he smiled and said, "Good afternoon, Mr. Xie. Eunuch Yang asked the servant to bring you lunch."

Xie Mingyu thanked him when he heard the words, and let him in sideways.

The little eunuch moved nimbly, cleared the cups and cups on the table, and quickly put the dishes on the table, spreading the table full.

Xie Mingyu asked casually: "Why is lunch so rich today?" Usually there are only four simple dishes for lunch, but today it is more than twice as rich.

The little eunuch smiled and said, "Eunuch Yang specially ordered this."

Hearing that Eunuch Yang ordered it specially, Xie Mingyu couldn't help but glanced behind the screen, with a smile in the corner of his eyes.

The eunuch held the empty food box in his hand and said with a smile, "Use it slowly, the slave will leave first." After saying that, he bowed and retreated, closing the door by the way.

Shen Yanzhi turned around from behind the screen when he heard the door closing, his cheeks were slightly red.

With a slight smile on his face, Xie Mingyu asked him: "You are wearing the clothes of a servant. Others only think that you are from the palace. What are you hiding?"

Shen Yanzhi scratched his cheeks in embarrassment: "It's not good for people to see."

Xie Mingyu smiled, and beckoned to him: "Come over for lunch, it's rare that Eunuch Yang has the heart to send such a sumptuous meal here."

This lunch was really hearty, with four cold and four hot dishes, plus two bowls of fragrant white rice, and a cup of sweet soup. Although the two of them had a lot of food, there was still some left over.

The two of them finished their meal and were rinsing their mouths with tea when there was another knock on the door.

"It's really time..." Xie Mingyu opened the door, but Qingzhu was standing outside the door carrying a food box, and said with a smile, "Qingzhu, you are here to clean up the dishes."

Qingzhu's face showed confusion when he heard the words: "Clean up the dishes? No, I'm here to bring you lunch."

Xie Mingyu's face changed upon hearing this: "What did you say?"

"I'm here to deliver lunch..." Qingzhu had already seen the used dishes on the table, and asked with some doubts, "Huh? Have you already used your lunch? Who delivered it?"

Xie Mingyu's face was ugly as hell, and her voice was a little tense: "Did Eunuch Yang ask you to send it?"

Qingzhu nodded and said: "Yes, although I no longer serve you personally, Eunuch Yang still asked me to be responsible for delivering meals to you.

"

Since Qing Zhu was ordered by Eunuch Yang to deliver lunch, who sent that little eunuch just now?What are your intentions?

Xie Mingyu suddenly felt cold.

Shen Yanzhi looked a little dazed, not knowing what happened.

Xie Mingyu managed to suppress the anxiety in her heart, walked to Shen Yanzhi's side, and asked him in a low voice: "Yanzhi, do you feel unwell?"

Shen Yanzhi shook his head: "I... I don't feel uncomfortable, what's the matter, brother, did something happen?"

Xie Mingyu carefully looked at Shen Yanzhi's expression, but didn't see anything unusual for the time being, so he smiled at him comfortingly, and said, "It's okay... you go sit on the couch in the inner room for a while, brother has something to ask Eunuch Yang." Then he turned his head and said to Qingzhu, "Please stay here with him for a while, and don't open the door for anyone who comes, wait for me to come back."

Qing Zhu actually didn't know what happened, she looked puzzled, and nodded quickly upon hearing this.

Xie Mingyu hurried out the door, and was about to go downstairs to find Eunuch Yang, but after thinking about it, she knocked on Lu Xing's door next door.

"Brother Lu, are you there?"

Lu Xing quickly opened the door, and the smile on his face disappeared instantly after seeing Xie Mingyu's expression, and he asked nervously, "Brother Xie, you look a little uncomfortable, what happened?"

Xie Mingyu looked solemn: "Someone brought me lunch under the name of Eunuch Yang."

Lu Xing was taken aback, and said in a series of words: "What happened? Have you eaten the food? Are you all right?"

Xie Mingyu's throat seemed to be filled with ice: "I'm fine, but I want to go down and ask Eunuch Yang, can you come downstairs with me?"

? "

Without saying a word, Lu Xing immediately accompanied him downstairs.

Eunuch Yang's door was closed tightly, Xie Mingyu knocked for a long time, but no one opened the door, and there was no answer.

Xie Mingyu's face became more and more ugly, and her lips were tightly pursed.

"Eunuch Yang is not here? Maybe he went out?" Lu Xing guessed.

Xie Mingyu said in a low voice: "I have a bad feeling..."

Before he finished speaking, the door creaked and opened from the inside.

Eunuch Yang was wearing a coat, and looked at them with some surprise: "What's the matter? You knock on the door so urgently."

Lu Xing was obviously relieved, and exaggeratedly said: "Eunuch Yang, you are in the house, why is there no sound at all?"

Eunuch Yang gathered the clothes on his body, wondering: "What's the matter? I was taking a nap, and you woke me up abruptly."

Xie Mingyu hurriedly said: "I'm sorry to bother you, I just came here to ask you, besides Qingzhu, do you arrange for someone to bring me lunch?"

"No, isn't your lunch delivered by Qingzhu?" Eunuch Yang was quite surprised when he heard the words, "Why, there was a mistake in the meal

? "

Xie Mingyu hesitated for a moment, but still asked directly: "Eunuch Yang, a little eunuch brought me lunch and said that you ordered

ordered, you know? "

"What else?" Eunuch Yang frowned upon hearing the words, "There are four people left in this building, and your lunch dishes are all the same. What's the name of that little eunuch you mentioned?"

"I didn't ask, the little eunuch left after setting up the food." Xie Mingyu frowned, worried that there was something wrong with the food, and asked, "Eunuch Yang, can you invite an imperial physician over?"

After all, Xie Mingyu was under the protection of the prince. Seeing his gloomy face, Eunuch Yang worried about what might happen, so he hurriedly said: "No problem, I will send someone to invite Song Taiyi right away."

The ranks of the imperial palace are cumbersome and detailed, and the imperial physicians in the imperial hospital are also divided into three, six, and nine grades. If anyone feels unwell during the competition, they will be seen by the Song imperial physician with the seventh-rank crown.

Physician Song came soon, carrying a small medicine box in his hand. First, he examined Shen Yanzhi and Xie Mingyu, but found nothing unusual, and then checked the rest of the food with silver needles. It wasn't poisoned either.

A false alarm.

Eunuch Yang wiped off the fine sweat from his forehead, heaved a sigh of relief, stroked his chest and said, "Fortunately, you are all fine."

In case something happened to Xie Mingyu, the consequences would not be something he could afford.

Xie Mingyu frowned solemnly and thought about it. For no reason, who sent him the food in the name of Eunuch Yang?Is it someone from the palace, or... the rest of the contestants?
