At the beginning, I saved a little mute

The man who came was dressed in jailer's clothes and raised his eyebrows.

It was an extremely unfamiliar face.

Que Yunsheng said nothing, only heard the man say, "Captain Qian, Mr. Hu Ju asked me to pass a message to the adults."

"Miss Jiang is on her way to Beijing. Everything is fine."

"The master is trying to rescue you. I hope you take care of yourself."

After saying these few short sentences, the man looked around and left immediately.

There was a hint of emotional fluctuation in Que Yunsheng's eyes.

He clenched his hands, and then slowly released them after a moment.

......

Jiang Zao and his group were about to reach the capital. Along the way, the old man was finally unable to resist Dong Xue and told them his name.

It is said that his name is Yuan Fangweng. Dongxue was greatly surprised when she first heard this name.

It turns out that her original name was Yuan Dongxue.

She thought he was related to her by blood, but she didn't know that old man Yuan Fangweng just had the same surname as her.

In fact, the two have nothing to do with each other.

He traveled in the Daxie Dynasty for many years and loved food the most in his life.

But due to my poor cooking skills, the food I make is hard to swallow.

That's when I started looking for delicious food everywhere.

That day, I was attracted by the aroma of the food made by Jiang Zao and the others. I had secretly tasted it several times before, but was not discovered.

That day, after being discovered, the old man simply joined them.

I eat delicious food every day and don’t want to wander around anymore.

The old man patted his chest and assured that he had never eaten anything more delicious.

Dongxue joked, "It is said that the emperor's imperial meal in the palace has 108 dishes, so it must be better than outside."

The old man glared at her and said, "How is that possible? The food in the palace is cold and hard, not tasty at all."

"Bragging you."

Dongxue didn't believe it. "The emperor eats delicacies from the mountains and the sea. How can our wild snacks be on the emperor's table?"

Yuan Fangweng waved his hand and said, "Little girl, you don't know that I have tasted the emperor's imperial meal and it is not tasty."

Dong Xue burst out laughing, "According to what you said, the guards in the palace are all blind. How can you, a grown man, not see it?"

"Hahahaha, of course. I'm so awesome. The palace is like my backyard to me. I can come and go as I please."

When talking about his great achievements in the past, Jiang Fangweng stroked his beard with joy.

Now that he is not tied up, he is willing to say a few more words.

Dongxue's eyes lit up, "Wow, you are amazing."

Yuan Fangweng looked at the little girl in front of him and said, "It's just a small skill."

Jiang knew about this a long time ago and had a secret conversation with Mr. Yuan that day.

The next day, Yuan Fangweng accepted Dongxue as his disciple.

Dongxue's jaw dropped.

She looked at Jiang Zao, and Jiang Zao nodded slightly, and the matter was settled.

Originally, Mr. Yuan wanted to take in a little apprentice just because of Jiang Zao's relationship, but he found that Dongxue was very smart and had a good memory.

So after a few days, she took her studies more seriously.

Jiang Zao was reading the letter from the third prince in the carriage.

Dongxue knocked on the car window, and after getting permission, she came up with a thin booklet and a bunch of herbs.

Jiang Zao suddenly laughed out loud.

"Miss, you are still making fun of this slave."

Dongxue muttered and put the herbs on the coarse cloth aside.

Yuan Fangweng assigned her a lot of tasks these days, so she always made good use of her time to study.

These herbs were what Yuan Fangweng wanted her to identify.

Dongxue said, "Miss, I have never seen these herbs before, and they are all from the old man..."

"Call Master."

Jiang Zao straightened his clothes and suppressed his smile. "Since you have served tea and Mr. Yuan has accepted you, you are his official disciple. You must respect him both internally and externally."

"Mr. Yuan is very knowledgeable. If you learn from him, you will benefit a lot in the future. Remember, don't let your mentality affect yourself."

Dongxue put away her complaints and said seriously, "Yes, Miss."

Perhaps because this master came to Dongxue on his own initiative, Dongxue did not trust him that much and did not respect him enough.

She did look down on this master who suddenly appeared in the mountains at first.

After this conversation, Dongxue solemnly offered tea to Yuan Fangweng again in the evening, which left the old man confused.

However, from then on, Dongxue's attitude towards learning became more correct, and her progress can only be described as rapid.

One day, when Jiang Zao and his group were about to arrive in the capital, Old Man Yuan suddenly left a letter.

He said he wanted to find new delicious food and decided to go out and travel for a while.

He left three medical books for Dongxue to study well.

When he returns, he will give Dongxue a good test.

The departure of Mr. Yuan made Dongxue feel lost.

During this period of time together, she felt the care from her elders. Mr. Yuan was like a knowledgeable old grandfather, humorous and gluttonous.

Dongxue was deeply impressed.

"Ugh......"

She sighed again.

Jiang Zao was dealing with his own affairs, and shook his head and said, "Why, don't you think he talks too much?"

"Actually, he just talks a lot, but everything else is good."

"We'll see each other again in the future."

"Yes, miss."

On this day, Jiang Zao and his group were only seven days away from the capital.

At this time, Jiang Zao met the people sent by the third prince.

"Miss Jiang, the master said that the matter is complicated, so he sent me here to talk to Miss Jiang face to face."

"What's going on? Is there any change in Que Yunsheng's situation?"

Jiang Zao clenched his fists and forced himself to sit firmly on the stool.

She can't panic.

The man was exhausted and bowed.

"Ms. Jiang, the trial has been moved up. The emperor has tried Que Yunsheng in the Golden Palace.

Chen Xiaoliu was instigated by the Right Prime Minister's men to identify Que Yunsheng in the palace in order to kill the young master of the Right Prime Minister's family."

Hearing this, Jiang Zao became even more nervous.

"However, the person holding Chen Xiaoliu relaxed his vigilance, causing him to break free and crash headfirst into the throne room, where blood splattered on the spot."

Jiang Zao took a deep breath and said, "Chen Xiaoliu is dead?"

"Yes, Miss Jiang."

The man's voice was steady.

Chen Xiaoliu was Que Yunsheng's closest personal guard and had never been found before. Jiang Zao guessed that he was sent to deal with Que Yunsheng.

I didn't expect that he would be turned against.

Jiang Zao said hurriedly,

"So the emperor believed his words?"

"No, before he died, he said he was forced to do it, and he was too ashamed to face his former master."

The man continued, "The emperor was furious and reprimanded the right prime minister and the chief judge of the Dali Temple on the spot, saying that they had confessed under torture. He ordered the right prime minister to stay at home for a month and the chief judge of the Dali Temple to be fined half a year's salary."

Jiang Zao breathed a sigh of relief, "What about Que Yunsheng? Is he okay?"

The man hesitated and said, "It's not life-threatening, but..."

"But what? Tell me now."

Jiang Zao was extremely anxious because this man spoke too gently.

The man lowered his head and spoke even more quietly, "Captain Que, no, Captain Que was demoted..."

"I was ordered to go to the southern border immediately to take up my post. If I don't do my job well, I will never be allowed to go to the capital again."
