Ruixiang was neither humble nor arrogant: "Niangniang praised it falsely, these are what slaves and maids should do."
As long as the mother can be good, the slave is fine. ” Li Ruyi walked out of the dormitory, the sky outside was bright, but there was no trace of sunshine, and it was a little stuffy.
She casually fiddled with the begonia flowers on the eaves of the porch, and said, "I'll go to the small kitchen in a while, and then stew a bowl of soup for the emperor to replenish qi and calm the mind, will you?"
Ruixiang said: "When I was in the Prime Minister's Mansion, the slave maid often stewed soup for the Xiangye, although the slave maid's skill was not as good as the imperial kitchen in the palace, but the nourishing and nutritious slave maid would still be able to adjust it." ” "Then you can go with the main palace in a while, and you can guide the main palace one or two from the side."
Li Ruyi didn't wear fancy clothes, only a simple dress, and took Ruixiang to the small kitchen in Ruyi Palace. called out all the kitchen maids in the kitchen, and only Li Ruyi and Ruixiang were inside.
Ruixiang only said not to do it, Li Ruyi did everything himself, and after several failures, he finally succeeded in putting the soup pot on the stove, the boiling water in it was boiling, and all kinds of nourishing ingredients exuded an attractive aroma in it, with a little taste of medicinal food.
The next step is to control the fire of the stove and wait for the soup to mature out of the pot.
Li Ruyi made a face, Ruixiang wiped her with a towel on the side, and waited for nearly an hour and a half before Ruixiang said, "Niangniang, it's time to get out of the pot." ” Li Ruyi took out the stewed tonic soup and put it in a covered bowl.
Just as he was about to leave, Li Ruyi said, "Wait." ” Ruixiang asked, "What else does Niangniang have to say?"
Li Ruyi stood in front of the stove for a while, then bent down to take out a piece of firewood from the stove that had not been extinguished, and poked it on the back of his white hand without hesitation.
"Niangniang" Ruixiang was startled when she saw this, and hurriedly brushed it off.
The firewood burned on the back of Li Ruyi's hand, and Ruixiang's eyes were quick, so that the firewood failed to burn the back of Li Ruyi's hand to the point that the skin was broken and bleeding, leaving only a large red mark and black traces of carbon wood.
Ruixiang hurriedly dipped a towel in cold water to put on Li Ruyi's hands, and said, "What is this doing?"
The hot feeling on the back of her hand made Li Ruyi frown, she lowered her eyelids and looked at the back of her hand, a little not as arrogant as she used to be, and said: "It's not just Ye Song's slut who can make bitter meat tricks, this palace can also be."
The wound burned just right. ” When Ruixiang heard this, she suddenly understood, and didn't say anything more, but said, "Niangniang has worked hard." ” The imperial study is usually not allowed to enter and exit the harem concubines, and the father-in-law who serves Su Ruoqing stands outside the door, on duty with a group of palace guards, and is very conscientious.
When Li Ruyi and Ruixiang went there, they were naturally stopped outside.
Ruixiang took a step forward and talked softly with her father-in-law, and couldn't help but grind her father-in-law's ears softly, and her father-in-law said: "Niangniang, and after a while, the slave will go in and report to the emperor, but the emperor is busy with affairs, and it is another matter if he can't see his mother." ” Rui Xiangfu gave a blessing and smiled slightly: "So there is a father-in-law." ” As soon as his father-in-law entered, Su Ruoqing heard the words outside, and he didn't raise his head, but he saw that his eyebrows were slightly frowned, obviously someone was disturbing him.
Su Ruoqing asked casually: "What's the noise outside?"
Gonggong said: "Back to the emperor, it was Ruyi Niangniang who came over, and brought the soup stewed for the emperor by herself, and wanted to meet the emperor."
The minions came in and reported" Su Ruoqing said angrily: "Don't you know what time it is?"
How could the father-in-law not understand the meaning of Su Ruoqing's words, so he bowed down and replied: "The slave knows his mistake, please forgive the emperor, and the slave will refuse the mother, and the emperor will not see anyone at this hour." ” Unbeknownst to the door, Su Ruoqing put down the pen in his hand and said lightly: "That's it, let her in." ” Li Ruyi was allowed to enter the imperial study at this time, and it was difficult to hide her joy, so she came in with the boiled soup, and said: "The emperor almost didn't sleep last night, and today is so hard, the concubines are thinking of boiling a dose of refreshing soup for the emperor, thinking of the emperor's body, I have to ask to see at this time, and ask the emperor for forgiveness, don't blame the concubines for not knowing the general situation." ” Su Ruoqing only said four words briefly: "There is Concubine Lao." ” Li Ruyi smiled and said: "These are all things that concubines should do."
As she spoke, she put the bowl and spoon in front of Su Ruoqing, untied the lid, the aroma was fragrant, she cocked her orchid fingers and stirred it in the soup bowl with a spoon, the shape was soft, if it weren't for the obvious scar on the back of her hand, her mouth was casual and authentic, "The emperor should drink it while it's hot, this is the first time the concubine has done it, and I hope the emperor won't dislike it." ” Su Ruoqing saw the scars on Li Ruyi's hand at a glance, and held Li Ruyi's hand, Li Ruyi shrank back and looked a little stiff.
He asked, "What's wrong with the hand?"
Li Ruyi covered it with a handkerchief and said, "It's nothing, the emperor should drink the soup while it's hot." ” "It's hot when I boiled the soup" Su Ruoqing asked, seeing that Li Ruyi didn't speak, he said to the justice outside, "Doctor Xuan is here." ” Soon the imperial doctor came, and gave Li Ruyi's hand medicine and bandaged it in the imperial study.
When I went back, I was also carefully helped back by Ruixiang.
Ruixiang said: "Niangniang's trick is a good plan, so that the emperor will feel guilty and sympathetic to Niangniang." ” It was late at night, and Su Ruoqing was about to put down the pen in the room, and there was still a little ink fragrance on his fingers.
I saw a black shadow flashing, and Gui had already appeared in the room, and said, "Your Majesty, tonight is the time for them to gather."
Subordinates can go with people and catch them all. ” Su Ruoqing got up, walked to the screen, took off the two sleeved straps hanging on it, tied up the wide sleeves of the black clothes, the black hair was scattered on the placket at will, and the white underwear in front of the placket was neatly folded, looking two points refreshed.
He said: "If I go together, I will call Chen Mingguang." ” "He's already waiting outside."
Su Ruoqing opened the door and saw that Chen Mingguang was also dressed in black brocade Su Ruoqing walked in front of her, and her black figure looked extremely deserted in the night.
Tonight's wind was a little dreary, slightly blowing the corners of his clothes.
The moonlight was hidden in the clouds, and when I looked up, I felt that it was heavy.
The rain of autumn and winter comes quietly and densely.
The rain soaked on the skin and was as cold as ice.
Outside the palace, in addition to fireworks places like the Pixel Xianglou, which are open all night, there are also some places that are still doing business even late at night, and they are very lively is a small gambling house that operates in a very inconspicuous corner of the street and alley.
Su Ruoqing, Gui Ji, and Chen Mingguang stopped in front of a gambling house, climbed the stairs, and stood under the eaves.
The rain fell heavier, and two lanterns were lit in front of the gambling house, and a plaque above was mottled with water, and the four big words "Rolling Wealth" could be vaguely seen.
The rain dripped down the eaves and gathered into a small stream, which flowed on the ground.
Su Ruoqing's clothes were half wet, and she brushed the water droplets on her clothes.
The hair was also wet, and a few strands of hair fell from the forehead, dripping with water at the ends.
The three of them turned around and entered the gambling house.
The gambling hall can be described as a miasma, the noise is continuous, and most of the people who still gamble here in the middle of the night are people who do not return home at night, abandon their wives and are addicted to gambling.
Seeing that the three of them were extraordinary, the shopkeeper in the hall hurriedly came over to greet him and said, "It's the first time you have come here, do you want to open a table and play two first?"
Gui had already shown the black jade pendant to the shopkeeper and said, "Let's look for the black qi." ” When the shopkeeper saw it, his expression was awe-inspiring, and he asked with a half-believing attitude: "How many are you?"
"Guest, have business with them."

Su Ruoqing said briefly, his eyes were very calm when he looked at the shopkeeper, but out of thin air there was a compelling and depressing momentum.
The shopkeeper said, "Come with me." ” He took Su Ruoqing into the backyard, but there was a secret passage in the seemingly ordinary backyard.
The rain poured on the flowers and trees, making a rustling sound, the stone gate turned gently, and the rain flowed down the secret passage of the stone gate, emitting a faint dim yellow light under the ground.
Led by the treasurer, they entered the secret passage.
Walking through the long passage, the inside suddenly opens up, and there is a cave.
The tall and stout pillars support the ground upwards, and the ground is spacious and open, there is a training platform for martial arts, a variety of weapons are dazzling, and there are eighteen chairs, and a Taishi chair in the middle is paved with an extremely precious pure white tiger skin It seems that the black jade pendant is really a token between them, and the shopkeeper was a little suspicious at first, but since he brought Su Ruoqing and the others here, he had to dispel his doubts and bring them to such a hidden place.
The shopkeeper said: "I have already brought the people, as for the voices of the few people to talk about, when the black qi comes, you can tell them yourself."
Then he went back the way he came.
After a while, there was movement in this underground secret room, but it was not from the exit where Su Ruoqing and the others entered.
The sound of extremely shallow footsteps came from far and near, but I don't know where it spread underneath, and the place where the candlelight did not end was pitch black, and at first glance, there were many figures.
This is an underground killer organization called "Black Qi", with a total of eighteen members, and each of the eighteen killers has its own killers under its own training.
The casinos above that can't get into the table are just a means for them to cover up their eyes.
The killer who was the leader was tall and majestic, with a straight back, and walked with a tigerish style, his eyes were deep and sharp, and at first glance he was used to licking blood on the edge of a knife.
Behind him led a group of black-clothed people, as soon as he saw Gui Ji and Chen Mingguang selecting weapons in front of the weapon cabinet, Su Ruoqing only sat on a chair empty-handed, and said, "I'm here to talk about business."
Killer organizations like this need to make ends meet on weekdays.
The owner of the casino brings in customers in need, and every business is expensive, after all, most of the purchases are human lives.
It's just that the man in black was walking towards Su Ruoqing, and when Su Ruoqing raised his head, his cold gaze fell on the man in black, and he suddenly stopped.
