The prince's personal bodyguard

Chapter 12 Making Breakfast

At night, the spring breeze was blowing. But there was no spring in the study of Prince Rong's mansion. Since Changli reported the news that the King of Medicine and the Saint of Medicine had been assassinated when he returned to Yipin Pavilion, Mu Yunxiao immediately ordered people to investigate.

A black shadow flashed, and Qingyun, the palace's first secret guard, appeared in front of Mu Yunxiao.

"My Lord, I have verified that the leading black-clad man is the former eunuch of the Queen. He is actually a fake eunuch. He has been staying at home and not going out for the past six months, but he has actually been lurking near the palace. All the black-clad men are assassins from the Quanling Sect."

"The purpose this time should be to assassinate the Medicine King and the Medical Saint. The Medicine King and the Medical Saint have always been cautious in their actions. I don't know where the news leaked out."

After hearing this, Mu Yunxiao's face turned so cold that it seemed as if ice could form.

Who leaked the whereabouts of the Medicine King and Medical Saint?

"Go and check whether there is a spy in the mansion. He has long arms. Don't blame me for being rude." Mu Yunxiao sneered, his face like a Shura from hell.

"Yes." Qingyun stepped back.

In the emperor's harem, in a palace with carved beams and painted rafters and exquisite decorations, a woman in luxurious clothes stood in the hall, looking at the man kneeling on the ground trembling with fear, her face full of anger: "Useless! More trouble than success, the first strike missed and has already alerted the enemy, which will definitely arouse their vigilance. Tell him not to act rashly recently and not to contact him again, and find a time to act again."

"Yes." The kneeling man slowly stepped back, walked out the door and disappeared into the night.

"How dare you commit murder in broad daylight under the emperor's feet?" A man in bright yellow clothes sat in front of the dragon table. Zhao Tingyu, the most distinguished person in Zhao State, held a memorial in his hand. After listening to the report from the secret guard, his face was as gloomy as water. "She is getting bolder and bolder. I let her go once sixteen years ago. It was probably her doing seven years ago. Does she really think she has done it perfectly, or is she relying on her family's past contributions that I dare not touch her?"

After saying this, his face flushed and he kept coughing.

"Your Majesty's health is the most important thing." Gao Yanfu, the chief eunuch beside him, brought a cup of tea and massaged the emperor's back. The emperor was devoted to the country and worked hard, and his health was getting worse, especially the root cause of the disease he contracted sixteen years ago, and the imperial doctors were helpless.

"Send more people secretly to protect the young valley master. If there is any accident again, you don't have to come back." The secret guard turned around and was about to leave.

"Don't let them notice it either," the emperor ordered again.

"Yes." The secret guard disappeared into the study.

"When the time comes, I will give Feng'er an explanation." Then he waved his hand and ordered the secret guards to retreat. He activated a switch behind the bookshelf in the imperial study, and a small door immediately opened behind the study, and the emperor walked in.

Bai Xinyin didn't know that Qingdai was assassinated during the day, and all the forces were stirring up trouble. Not long after she returned to her room, the prince sent someone to tell Ah Si to keep watch tonight.

I was exhausted after a long day, but this damn prince didn't even let me take a rest. He walked towards the main room while cursing.

Guards usually stand outside the door when on night watch. Bai Xinyin came outside and stood still, staring at the moon in the sky in a daze. In fact, so many things happened during the day, Bai Xinyin was not sleepy for the time being, she needed time to sort out the things that happened during the day.

The chance of him seeking revenge on Qingdai is not high, so he should be coming for his identity with the intention of assassinating him.

Bai Xinyin shuddered: Does this have anything to do with the fact that I fell off the cliff seven years ago? Does it have anything to do with the person behind the scenes, the Gu in my body, and the seal? Yaowang Valley has always been peaceful with the world. I am so young and I don’t think I have any enemies. Why do they want to get rid of me?

After all, she was young. After thinking about it, at four o'clock in the morning, Bai Xinyin fell asleep with legs crossed against the door. The person in the room looked at the person at the door, sighed softly, took a piece of cotton cloth and gently covered Bai Xinyin, and went back into the house to take a nap for a while.

When Changli came to report today's agenda to his master in the morning, he saw Ah Si sleeping soundly sitting at the door. His master had already tidied up everything in the house.

It was probably Chang Li's footsteps that woke Bai Xinyin up. She opened her eyes with a start and looked at the neatly dressed prince in the room. She thought to herself: Why am I so low on vigilance? He is sleeping so soundly?

He quickly stood up and clasped his fists to the prince: "Please forgive me, Prince!"

"Go eat first, then come back to take orders." Mu Yunxiao had a blank expression on his face.

Seeing that the prince did not blame her, Bai Xinyin hurried down.

Chang Li reminded the prince, "I saw Ah Si's martial arts skills yesterday. I'm afraid we are no match for him. It's my fault that I didn't find out that he has such a background."

Mu Yunxiao was eating the breakfast brought by the servants. It was tasteless and not as fragrant as Ah Si's, so he put it down and said, "You have done a good job in investigating your identity. Wouldn't it be better if you have high martial arts skills? You can also protect your prince. You deserve a reward."

"I think...well...it's not..." Changli stuttered, always feeling that something was wrong, but what the prince said seemed to make sense. Perhaps nothing could be hidden from the prince. Since the prince said he would not pursue the matter, he probably wouldn't have to be beaten.

In March, when the grass is green and the birds are singing, it is the day when Tianhonglou, the world's number one auction house, will auction the Kunlun Mountain Resurrection Grass.

These days were very peaceful, as if nothing had happened. However, Bai Xinyin knew that the people hiding in the dark would wait for an opportunity to act, and her own people were already in the open. Before finding out who was behind the scenes, she had to be cautious in everything.

The day before yesterday, I heard that there was a thief in the palace. He was a gardener who had worked there for many years. He stole the medicinal materials of the miracle doctor, was beaten to death with sticks, and thrown into a mass grave outside. Although it was a small episode, Bai Xinyin felt that it was not that simple.

On March 25th, the breeze was not dry and the sun was shining brightly.

Bai Xinyin got up early in the morning and went to the kitchen to tinker for a while. Then she went back to stretch in the prince's yard. When she heard some movement in the prince's room, she ran over immediately.

The auction will be held at 9:00 in the morning. Because it concerns her life and property, Bai Xinyin wants to go with the prince. After watching the servant who was supposed to help the prince clean his face and change his clothes go in, Bai Xinyin ran to the kitchen again. Last night, she was thinking about making a breakfast to please the prince.

When Bai Xinyin was in college, she rented a small apartment by herself. In her spare time, she would watch cooking videos on her mobile phone. She was smart and had a high level of understanding, so she cooked very well. When she shared the food with her classmates, they all thought it was cooked by a private chef.

Her modern mother once told her: "Nothing is impossible if you put your mind to it."

Ever since that time when she pulled out several strands of the prince's hair while combing his hair, and after that time when she tied the wrong belt for the prince while changing his clothes, the prince never asked Bai Xinyin to do these jobs again.

The prince said that the boy was unteachable. He was afraid that he was not good at any of the 360 ​​trades, so he only let him grind ink and serve tea.

While the prince was washing up, Bai Xinyin ran to the kitchen. The morning preparations had already been completed. Soon, four plates of breakfast were ready: yam cakes with jujube paste, two-color egg rolls, beef and corn potstickers, and a few small breads. In addition, a cup of soy milk and a cup of medicinal green bean and lily porridge were ready.

He made a lot, and used some of it hastily, leaving the rest in the kitchen. Chef Wang in the kitchen exclaimed that it was wonderful, tasting it and thinking about it. He wanted to come back with Bai Xinyin to teach him.

Thinking that it was almost time, Bai Xinyin brought it up. After arranging them one by one, Mu Yunxiao glanced at the delicious breakfast, was stunned for a moment, and glanced at Bai Xinyin again: "Did you make this?"

"Ah."

Mu Yunxiao took a sip of each dish, his emotions undetectable, and asked with his head lowered, "Do you really want to go?"

"Want to go? Huh? Yes, yes, yes!" Bai Xinyin was thinking, is it written on my face that I want to go?

"You can't comb your hair, you can't change your clothes, and you can only make do with cooking! From now on, you can help Chef Wang share some of the breakfast work!"

At this moment, Bai Xinyin felt that he had dug his own grave.

But then I thought: Just do it, I won't stay in the palace for too long anyway.
