The table was full of Li Chuchu's favorite dishes, and she felt heartbroken even if she looked at them more than once.
Seeing Li Huang's back disappear outside the East Palace Gate, Li Yuze's face suddenly turned dark.
Cao Quan looked at his expression and asked cautiously: "Your Highness, does the eldest princess not like these dishes? How about I go and inquire about it?"
Li Yuze glared at him. Even an old slave dared to laugh at him for his elder brother's dereliction of duty?
He glanced at the dishes on the table and suddenly felt that they were all tasteless, so he rolled up his sleeves and went to the study.
Cao Quan glanced left and right and pointed at the table of dishes: "Are they all dead? Hurry up and prepare some midnight snacks for His Highness."
After finishing speaking, he quickly trotted to follow.
Two quarters of an hour later, Li Huang returned to the eldest princess's residence.
Mo Jingzhan immediately stepped forward and held her hand: "Why are you coming back now? I asked the kitchen to make your favorite Gudong pot and spicy shrimps."
As soon as he entered the house, the aroma of the steaming soup pot hit his face, and Li Huang felt that his heart began to boil along with the steaming pot.
"You pay for this sweet and sour pork ribs first, I made them myself."
What does this woman Li Chuchu do? Why can’t she be beaten to death?
The jailer glanced at her and asked: "Then, where is Pingyang Hou Mansion..."
It's not like she hasn't eaten beef sent as tribute from Tubo before, but for some reason, the quality of the meat seems to be particularly good this time.
Ling Yuan: "Your Highness, many years have passed. The old people who served Luo Shi back then were either dead or sent away. Even the one who is serving Luo Shi now has not seen Li Shu with his own eyes.
Humans are born, so she doesn’t know whether Li Shuren was born at full term.”
He handed the chopsticks to her hand and pointed at the delicious dishes on the table to show off.
Now that you've bumped into me, don't think about leaving so easily.
Mo Jingzhan gave her a piece of veal and said, "To pay for this, the sheep just brought from Tubo have a particularly fragrant texture."
Mo Jingzhan interrupted him directly: "Changing prisoners is a crime, so what? Doesn't he have a gold medal for immunity from death in the Marquis of Pingyang?"
After the meal, Li Huang finally remembered what he had asked Ling Yuan to investigate before, and asked: "How did your investigation go?"
In terms of tribute, etc., in the end the emperor himself would not be left with much, and it would not be distributed to those clan members or important ministers.
The best things in the world must be paid tribute to the emperor, and only Mo Jingzhan dares to say that the things in his hands are better than the emperor's.
All those people back then are no longer here. It would be hard to believe that there was nothing fishy about it.
Li Huang paused while chewing, looked at him and said, "Are you saying that the cattle and sheep in your hand are better than the tribute ones?"
Li Huang: "!!!"
Mo Jingzhan raised his lips and raised his eyebrows: "What? Your Highness wants to report me?"
Jailer: "Your Highness, she is a concubine from Pingyang Hou Mansion."
Li Huang stretched out her chopsticks and picked up a piece of short ribs and brought it to her mouth. It was crispy and delicious, soft and tender, with just the right amount of sweet and sour. With just one bite, her eyes lit up.
The jailer hesitated for a moment, then spoke with difficulty: "Yesterday, someone pretended to be a jailer, sneaked into the prison, and replaced the common people in Li."
Li Huang nodded while eating. As the eldest princess, her demeanor collapsed for the first time.
Come to her place and eat as much as you want.
Mo Jingzhan seemed to be very dissatisfied with her questioning. He frowned: "Your Highness, are you looking down on me? After traveling for many years, I can't just bring a cook with me, right?"
"Then who is the one in prison now?" Li Huang asked.
"With so many of you watching, how can this be replaced?"
Besides, not all the places they went were small towns with inns, so when they got to the wild, they had to do it themselves.
Li Huang was not polite to him, picked up his rice bowl and started eating.
"Where are the ones that were sent away?" Li Huang asked, "Let's see if we can still find them."
Li Huang's face darkened: "Since she likes to go to jail for others so much, then she should continue to be locked up."
Mo Jingzhan explained to her: "The cattle and sheep in Tubo are also divided into breeds and regions. The better they eat, the fatter the meat will naturally be. However, this kind of cattle and sheep generally grow slowly, so it is not enough to use them as tribute."
Look, that’s why I picked the one that looks big and strong.”
Li Huang couldn't help but take another look at him: "Can you cook?"
Seeing that she was eating happily, Mo Jingzhan curled his lips and said, "If Your Highness likes it, I can do it more often in the future."
"tasty."
However, before the people who went to investigate came back, someone came from the Dali Temple Tianlao to report: "Your Highness, the eldest princess, that Li common man... ran away."
Lingyuan: "My servant has sent someone to check. Your Highness will wait a moment."
"However, the herdsmen themselves want to raise some specially for their own consumption. I specially found someone to raise these. If you like them, I will ask someone to send a few more."
Compared with the bland health dishes on the table in the East Palace, she still prefers these strong flavors.
"And this, this, I did it all."
Mo Jingzhan's eyes were filled with smiles: "Okay."
It seems that the matter can only be determined by finding those people who were related back then.
Li Huang took a bite with his chopsticks, and the spicy taste mixed with the unique aroma of beef instantly filled his entire mouth.
Li Huang silently turned his gaze back to the pot: "When my father is well, let him come out of the palace to eat here."
Li Huang was startled, then frowned: "How did you escape? Isn't your prison in Dali Temple the strongest in the Great Abyss?"
Doesn't that mean that the person in prison now is not Li Chuchu, but a woman who looks exactly like Li Chuchu?
Li Huang felt that her head suddenly hurt.
She was just a concubine, and the Marquis of Pingyang dared to push her out. What else could she not touch?
The jailer glanced at Mo Jingzhan and didn't dare to let out a fart. He could only lower his head and obey.
Mo Jingzhan asked: "A woman disguised herself as a jailer and sneaked into the prison. There are so many of you, but no one noticed it? I very much suspect that some of you have been bribed."
The jailer was so frightened that he knelt down: "My lord, I am wronged. Those who can serve as jailers in Dali Temple are all innocent people. They would never dare to do such things that disobey the holy order. However, that Pingyang
Hou's concubine, who knows how to disguise herself, said she wanted to ask the Li concubine alone if she had something to say, and gave everyone some money for drinks, promising that once the investigation found something, everyone would share the credit equally."
"We have been working together for many years. We couldn't get along with him, so we could only move away, but we still held the door tightly. Who would have thought that in such a short time of a cup of tea, the two of them would be in love with each other?
A bag..."
This jailer was so regretful that his intestines were blue. If His Majesty wakes up and investigates, they, the people responsible for guarding, will not know what will happen to him.
