"Madam, the eight-treasure porridge is ready." Huangfuye put the bowl of eight-treasure porridge in front of Mingruo.
Mingruo lowered his head and looked at it. This unknown substance with a weird smell - was it definitely something that humans could eat? If he wanted to poison her, just poison her. He would no longer dislike the smell of the poison he administered.
Big, isn’t that enough?
"Madam, please." Huangfuye pushed the bowl towards Mingruo again.
"Um...I'll get the spoon." Mingruo trotted away and went to the kitchen where Huangfuye was cooking porridge.
Mingruo opened the lid of the pot on the stove and saw a large pot of the same style of 'Eight Treasure Porridge' inside. No farmer would cook so much pig food. Mingruo was sure that this was the thing, the big red one was
Dahong wouldn't even eat anything from the rice bowl.
Mingruo raised the corners of her lips slightly, found a large bowl, filled a bowl full of it, and then brought back two spoons.
Mingruo put the big bowl in front of Huangfuye with a smile: "Your Highness, you should also eat more."
Huangfuye felt that he had cooked the porridge very well, so he took the spoon confidently, took a spoonful and put it directly into his mouth.
Mingruo's eyes widened, and there was only one thought in his head - a true warrior dares to face food poisoning.
"Pfft, cough..." Huangfu Ye took a sip of the 'eight-treasure porridge' and almost sent himself away.
This 'eight-treasure porridge' was spicy, salty and bitter, and its taste was indescribable. Huangfu didn't vomit it all night, simply because of the good etiquette he had developed since he was a child.
"My lord, don't worry, I'll give you this bowl too." Mingruo very considerately pushed his bowl of 'eight-treasure porridge' to Huangfu Ye.
Huangfu Ye was afraid that Princess Yun would be ruined if she ate the porridge. So, he took another spoonful from Mingruo's bowl and put it into his mouth - the same recipe, so familiar that it was hard to swallow.
"You can eat more if you like, Your Majesty. There's still some in the kitchen." Ming Ruo wanted to laugh when she saw Huangfu Ye's twisted expression, but she still held it back.
Huangfu's scalp went numb at the thought of a big pot under the kitchen.
"Ahem, I'll add some sugar." Huangfuye picked up two bowls of porridge and walked to the kitchen.
"Let me bring the sugar bowl for the prince." Mingruo said to Huangfuye's back.
"No need, I can do it myself." Huangfuye walked into the kitchen and poured two bowls of eight-treasure porridge back into the pot.
Then, he took a ladle of water and gargled wildly.
"My lord." Ben Lei intuitively felt that the porridge cooked by his lord was not delicious, but he was still a little surprised when he saw his lord like this - in fact, he didn't put anything in it, but why was it so unpalatable?
Huangfu spit out the water at night, but felt that there was still an indescribable strange taste in his mouth: "Go and throw away the porridge... no... just dispose of the pot together..."
He never wanted to see anything related to this 'Eight Treasure Porridge' again in his life.
"Yes." Ben Lei picked up the big pot and put it directly into the woods outside the courtyard. There were many small animals in the woods, and they should be finished soon.
Huangfu washed himself at night and changed his clothes before returning to his bedroom.
Mingruo had already eaten a few snacks and drank a glass of space well water. After eating and drinking, he sat there and thought about how to escape quickly and the feasibility of poisoning.
"I've already arranged for a maid, and someone will be there tomorrow morning." Huangfu Ye sat down opposite Mingruo.
"Oh." Mingruo's fingers gently clasped the table, which meant that besides the two of them, there were other people in the courtyard. So, how many others were there?
"Madam, let me test you." Huangfuye pretended to be relaxed and said, "What kind of business does our house have?"
Please, do you have any misunderstanding about the hallucinogen you just gave me to drink? Even if it works, it can only make me think that you are my husband, and it will not lower my IQ!
"Master Bai is taking care of the property in the house, I don't know..." Mingruo felt that she was very honest. After all, her husband was too rich and had many shops and properties. She really couldn't figure it out.
"Then where do we usually keep the gold, silver and jewelry?" Huangfu Ye thought that it doesn't matter if he can't figure out the shops and farms of Prince Yun's palace for a while. It's okay to ask about the secret rooms of the palace and so on. Maybe there will be unexpected gains.
"Jewelry and the like... of course are placed in the warehouse over at Caixia Residence..." The broken warehouse where the poison given by Emperor Danxu is stored welcomes you.
"Um, what the lady said is not entirely correct..." Huangfuye felt that Princess Yun was telling the truth, but he was a little unwilling to do so, "There are still some left in the secret room, aren't they?"
Mingruo's eyes were round and her expression was a little naive: "There is a secret room in the house? Where is it?"
"..." Huangfuye couldn't help but frown. It seemed that Prince Yun was not as doting on the princess as he seemed.
It is impossible that Prince Yun's palace does not have a secret room, but Prince Yun not only did not take the princess to the secret room, but he did not even tell the princess about the property of the palace.
Mingruo supported his chin with his hand, as if waiting for Huangfuye to announce his answer.
"Ahem." Huangfuye suddenly felt that such a simple and innocent Princess Yunqin was a bit pitiful, "I will take you there when we return home."
Ming Ruo thought about the secret room that the palace could only open with Si Haochen's blood... It's not that I look down on you, but you really can't go there with your sister.
"My lord, Lightning is back, and he has brought snacks and cooked food." Ben Lei reported outside the door.
When Mingruo heard "Lightning", he thought of the slow-moving sloth in the cartoon movie, and thought the name was quite funny.
Huangfuye walked to the door of the room and took the food box: "Where is Lightning?"
"He... stepped into a trap when he came back and went to change his clothes." Ben Lei felt guilty.
Huangfu Ye put the food box on the table and took out four snacks and a roast chicken: "Eat these for dinner today. There will be a maid to cook tomorrow."
Mingruo was not interested in eating, but wanted to see who was living in the other courtyard: "These snacks and roasted chicken are cold. Let's light a bonfire in the courtyard and eat while roasting."
Huangfu Ye thought this was a good idea, so he ordered Ben Lei to light a bonfire.
Lightning was carrying firewood out from the kitchen while muttering: "Who do you think is so wicked? He mixed a big pot of pig food and left it on the road... It's like he's mentally ill..."
"Ahem..." Ben Lei felt that Lightning probably stepped on the 'eight treasure porridge' cooked by the master, and he... was the wicked person he said...
He just didn't want to waste food, so it would be unethical to feed the animals in the mountains...
After the bonfire was lit, Mingruo sat next to the bonfire. He put his hand into his sleeve pocket and took out a packet of poison. As long as he sprinkled it into the bonfire, everyone in the other courtyard should be infected. After that, he found one by himself.
Hide in a suitable place and wait until the space upgrade is completed.
Just as Ming Ruo was about to take action, Lightning brought back news from the imperial capital - Prince Yun wanted to find the princess, but was also afraid of ruining her reputation, so he had no choice but to secretly investigate with the soldiers, which was very frustrating.
When Huangfu Ye heard about this situation, he was in a good mood: "Let someone send a message to Prince Yun, asking him to personally take five hundred thousand taels of gold to the old dock of Luocheng to redeem his princess!"
