"Tell me, why did the Supreme Emperor summon us to the palace?" Mingruo picked up her husband's hair and rubbed it in circles with her fingertips, "Are we just going to jump over the wall to eat Buddha together?"
"There must be something else." Si Haochen scratched the bridge of Mingruo's nose, "But, it shouldn't be too important..."
The carriage stopped outside Kuntai Hall. Si Haochen stretched out and put on the hood of Mingruo's cloak before lifting him out of the carriage.
Mingruo looked up at the dark cloudy sky: "It's going to snow again..."
"Yes." Si Haochen held his wife's hand, and as soon as he walked into the corridor, fine snow particles fell.
Eunuch Hai led the two of them to the back hall, opened the door, and the draft was mixed with ambergris. The back window was wide open. The Emperor was sitting cross-legged on the desk, throwing the fishing rod out of the back window.
The appearance of 'fishing alone in the cold river snow'.
"Hey? The girl is here." The Supreme Emperor waved to Mingruo, "Didn't you raise a kitten and catch some fish for it?"
Mingruo walked closer and saw that next to the Supreme Emperor, the porcelain jar where the scrolls had been placed was filled with more than half of the water, but there were only two small fish that were more than an inch long swimming...
"..." Ming Ruo really wanted to tell the Emperor that this was really not enough for Mr. Bai to stuff his teeth.
"Is this tank filled with fish bait?" Si Haochen glanced into the tank, pulled two chairs and placed them next to the brazier, asking his wife to sit down and warm herself up by the fire.
"This is a fish caught alone." The Supreme Emperor snorted coldly.
"I'm afraid I haven't grown enough earthworms for fishing yet..." Si Haochen said quietly.
The Supreme Emperor was so angry that he stared and wanted to retort, but found that what this boy said was true.
"The kitchen has stewed Xiaodiao pear soup. Your Highness and Princess will drink a cup to moisten their throats." Eunuch Hai brought the pear soup.
"Where is the lonely one?" The Supreme Emperor rubbed his fingers that were red from the cold.
"The wind has been blowing for a long time, so you should drink some ginger and jujube soup to sweat." Eunuch Hai brought the ginger and jujube soup that had been warming on the small stove to the Supreme Emperor and closed the window.
"Alas, I still want to fish." The Supreme Emperor stretched out his hand to stop Eunuch Hai.
"It's snowing now, and all the fish have sunk to the bottom of the lake." Eunuch Hai bolted the window, "Just now, the village master sent a roe deer. I asked the cook to steam it, and serve you and the prince a drink."
"What's the point of eating it steamed? When I was traveling in northern Xinjiang, I saw people from the Rakshasa country cutting the roe deer meat into thin slices and dipping it into the sauce ground with dodder." The Supreme Emperor gave the 'stinky boy' a meaningful look.
, "It's said to be a great supplement."
Mingruo's eyes widened. What kind of ruthless people are they? They actually eat venison sashimi: "Ahem, there are parasites in the raw meat. Eating it will cause stomach upset."
"I'm in very good health. Just take supplements yourself." Si Haochen refused in his heart to eat raw meat.
"At Gudu's age, what's the point of making up for it!" The Supreme Emperor's eyes almost rolled to the back of his head.
"If you add an 'old boy' and teach him carefully from an early age, maybe you can become a successful person." Si Haochen leaned in his armchair, like a second-generation ancestor who was not doing anything right.
"Gu Sheng gives me a hammer and blows your head off!" The Supreme Emperor grabbed an orange and hit Si Haochen directly in the face, "Xiao Haizi, go get the barbecue rack and show Gu a hand to the little girl."
Si Haochen caught the orange and peeled it directly for his wife to eat.
Eunuch Hai asked the palace servants to move the barbecue grill, fill it with burned charcoal, and put the dressed meat skewers and seasonings on the high table.
Taishanghuang's barbecue technique is very skillful, but the seasonings used are simple. The main reason is that the heat is well controlled. The outside of the meat skewers is sizzling with oil, and the inside is tender and juicy. It is really delicious.
As a prince who was brought up by the Supreme Emperor since childhood, he naturally knew what the "stinky old man" grilled was the best. He picked a bunch of grilled fish and handed it to his wife: "Try this grilled fish."
Mingruo took the golden grilled fish and took a small bite. It was full of caramel aroma and delicious: "It's delicious."
"Here, eat more." The Emperor handed over another skewer of barbecue, "This is the meat on the backbone, it is the most tender."
"I have nothing to show my courtesy to..." The smelly old man usually even panted and wanted to ask Eunuch Hai to take over, but now he suddenly grilled the meat himself, which was really strange.
"Barbecue can't stop your mouth!" The Supreme Emperor turned his head and looked at Mingruo with a smile.
"Uh." Mingruo swallowed the fish in his mouth, "You look at it like this, I can't eat it anymore."
"Then what..." The Supreme Emperor organized his words, "Is there any way, girl, to cure the Siqing Gu poison?"
"Ah?" Mingruo turned her head and looked at her husband, asking with her eyes - Who is Si Qing?
Si Haochen and his wife had a good understanding, and looked in the direction of Panlong Palace.
Ming Ruo understood instantly that Si Qing was Emperor Danxu: "I can figure it out."
"Can it be solved without forcing out the child voodoo and the mother vood at the same time?" This puppet voodoo is very troublesome. It is necessary to draw out the child voodoo and the mother voodoo at the same time. Except for the person who practices this puppet voodoo, others cannot do it at all.
"Yeah." Mingruo nodded. With Linglong as a big killer, no matter what kind of poison it is, the dragon has to coil up and the tiger has to lie down.
"Ahem, can you not remove the poison first, and just cut off the connection with the mother poison..." The Supreme Emperor also felt that his request was a bit excessive. But the son was his own, and he could not watch him running towards his death.
"It's not impossible." Mingruo discussed it with Linglong, "We can modify the child Gu so that it can no longer be controlled by the mother Gu."
"Then what? Are the poisonous insects still running around in his stomach?" The Supreme Emperor was very interested in 'poison' and 'poison', and his eyes suddenly shone brightly. (Mingruo: With your expression, your son is not his biological son, right?
?)
"You can also lure it out..." Use it as food for Linglong.
"If it doesn't endanger your life, it's okay to run around in your stomach." The Supreme Emperor took the handkerchief handed over by Eunuch Hai and wiped his hands, "You two will go and do it in a while. I'll wait until you come back to make the Buddha jump over the wall."
The Supreme Emperor thought that asking Si Qing to pay more attention to the poisonous poison would effectively prevent him from seeking death.
"Buddha jumped over the wall...isn't it a soup dish?" Mingruo listened, and this operation was like opening a wine jar.
“In order to retain the aroma of the ingredients, the cook used good rice paper to seal the mouth of the jar for stew.
"Oh." Mingruo finished eating the meat skewers and waved her hand, "Go to work!"
Si Haochen unmoved the fish bones and said, "The consultation fee."
"You don't care what Si Qing is going to do." The Supreme Emperor had an expression on his face that said, "I have no money."
"You hired the doctor." His Highness Prince Yun didn't like Danxu's little treasury. Danxu didn't have what he wanted.
"Are you missing the good things I usually give you?" The Emperor was so angry that his beard stood up.
"One code equals one code." Si Haochen shook his finger, "Just pay the chef in your small kitchen for cooking and stewing supplements as a medical fee."
"Are you trying to raise your price on the ground?" The Emperor's eyes widened.
"You can pay the money back on the spot." Si Haochen wiped his hands after finishing the grilled fish.
