Zhao Zhen sat behind the case, looking down at a small ebony box on the ground.

There were only him and the Baxian King in the imperial study room, and the attendants in the room had been sent away by Chen Lin before the prince came in.Not only that, even the royal shadow guards who have always been hidden in the dark are far away at this time. Everyone knows that there are some things that they can't hear, see, and even less talk about.

"Where are the others?" Zhao Zhen watched the Baxian King take out the key, bent down to open the lock on the wooden box, and asked with some dissatisfaction, "Uncle is back, why didn't he come to the palace to see me?"

The Eight Sage King paused in his hands, and still took off the lock in a calm manner, raised his head and smiled gently at the young emperor: "He delivered the things and left, saying that he has news about Bao'er."

"I understand, Uncle Huang, please open it." Zhao Zhen sighed and waved his hand casually.

Zhao Defang nodded, and gently lifted the lid of the box, revealing a smaller box inside. This box is made of pure gold, just one size smaller than the ebony box, and it can fit inside without slipping around.The Eight Sage Kings used a silver key to open the pure gold box, lifted the lid, and a gust of cold air rushed over.

Zhao Zhen stretched his neck, if it wasn't for the Eighth Prince not allowing him to approach as soon as he came in, he would definitely come up close to have a better look.The box was full of finely crushed ice cubes, and Zhao Defang opened it with a silver handle, revealing a small white marble box.

"This is the scroll of fire." The eight virtuous king leaned sideways and lifted the lid of the box with a silver handle, revealing the scarlet jade slips. After Zhao Zhen had read it, he closed the box and locked it.

Zhao Zhen took a few deep breaths and leaned back on the chair.For some reason, the box gave him a very uncomfortable feeling as soon as he opened it, "Let's leave this thing to Uncle Huang, and the Yuxin Pavilion has strengthened its security, and things like 20 years ago will never happen again. "

"Your Majesty, please rest assured." Eight Wise Kings put away the box, and reported the matter of Zhao Ling and Chun Ni again.

Zhao Zhen frowned, and a wry smile appeared on his lips: "Forget it, I've taken care of this matter, and I will comfort the Queen Mother." Alas, Lingling really ran away with that bastard, and Chunni ...Since that person is Zhan Zhao's friend, he should be more reliable.

He sighed, this troublesome matter is finally over, and now he is looking forward to what Li Yuanhao will do next...

The days in Kaifeng Mansion returned to the usual busyness.

In view of the fact that a certain Mr. Cat had been grounded by Mr. Gongsun, Bai Yutang took over his task, sent Mr. Bao to court and patrolled the streets, worked diligently and willingly.After finishing his official duties, he made a detour to Juxian Building, took the winter melon chicken specially made for Zhan Zhao, and returned to Kaifeng mansion to force the man to drink it all.

To be honest, the winter melon chicken in Juxianlou is really good.The chef goes to the market every day to choose a good winter melon, hollows out the inner flesh, fills it with chicken, ham, lotus seeds, longan, scallops, shiitake mushrooms, fresh bamboo shoots and other ingredients, adds soup and covers it, and steams it over water .When steaming, there is no need to leave people, and it must be kept on fire at any time. The winter melon chicken that is made is light and refreshing, salty and sweet, without the greasy taste of chicken soup. Even the imperial chefs in the palace may not have such skills.

But why did Master Wu use force?You must know that although Zhan Zhao has a good taste in food, he has never been a picky cat.

This... It's the fault of this wax gourd chicken to clear away heat and detoxify, tonify deficiency and strengthen vitality. It was originally... a tonic for treating postpartum weakness...

"Ahem..." In the private room of Juxian Building, Zhao Jue couldn't hold back his tea after hearing Xiaoer's introduction to this dish.Coughing and waving Xiao Er to go out, Zhao Jue finally understood why the last time he went to Kaifeng Mansion, he saw Bai Yutang running after Zhan Zhao with a soup pot, but the people from Kaifeng Mansion shook their heads and snickered behind.Zhao Jue found it extremely funny when he thought that such a stable person like Zhan Zhao would be aroused by this... er... this little postpartum supplementary meal.

He took the silk handed over by Yingjia, and wiped away the tears from his laughter: "Is there any news about Zhao Qi?"

"Yes." Shadow Armor took out a volume of documents from his pocket, "The commander has arrived in Changzhou, most of the old people are gone, and only some minor details have been obtained."

"Go on." Zhao Jue picked up a cup of tea, leaned against the window, and watched Bai Yutang walk out of Juxian Building with a soup pot, a smile appeared on his face.

"The commander found the old village head of a village at the foot of the mountain." Yingjia opened the document and picked out the key points in Zhao Qi's essay, "According to him, Mr. Zhan's master, Old Hero Meng, always liked to travel around. Twenty years ago, he came from outside Brought back a battered baby, and the ashes of the child's mother..."

"Severely injured?" Zhao Jue frowned slightly, put down his teacup, pulled out the document from Yingjia's hand, and read it by himself.

Meng Ruoxu returned to the village at the foot of the mountain with a child less than one year old, and wanted to entrust him to a family in the village, but no one was willing to adopt the child.Because there was a deep wound in the child's heart, as if he had been hit by a feathered arrow.The people in the village are timid, how dare they accept such an injured child, seeing his dying appearance, they don't know if they can support him.Meng Ruoxu had no choice but to take the child up the mountain, and buried the child's mother at the foot of the mountain.

Unexpectedly, the child's fate was so bad that he survived under Meng Ruoxu's simple treatment.After a few years, the villagers at the foot of the mountain saw the child exchange firewood for firewood, rice, oil and salt.After a few more years, the child grew up and went down the mountain with an ancient ink-colored sword on his back, and won the reputation of "Southern Xia" as a fellow martial artist.Later, "Nanxia" became "Royal Cat", but Zhan Zhao was still Zhan Zhao.

Zhao Jue clenched the note in his hand, for some reason his heart was in a panic, he was seriously injured and almost died, and he had to take care of the housework at a young age... It was because of his gratitude for surviving a catastrophe, that's why he was so kind; Junior sister, that's why you are so considerate, Zhan Zhao, Zhan Zhao...

"My lord..." Seeing Zhao Jue's expression changed, Ying Jia couldn't help whispering, "My lord, Mr. Zhan's mother was buried in Changzhou..." Changzhou is too far away from Jinhua, that is to say, he may not be a young son... …

Zhao Jue spread out the crumpled papers on the table and smoothed them out one by one, staring at every word, as if he wanted to eat all the contents of the letter.He couldn't restrain his imagination: that young baby was whimpering softly, as weak as a newborn kitten, the bandage on his chest was soaked with bloodstains one after another; hand, exchanging daily necessities with the rude villagers at the foot of the mountain; the frail young man was leaning on an ancient ink-colored sword, silently wrapping his wounds in a corner where no one noticed...

And a few months ago, that gentle and handsome man broke into the sky tower decisively, and calmly accepted the demon vine implanted in his body... Such a person, such a Zhan Zhao, really makes people feel distressed...

Zhao Jue looked over the window lattice and looked at the white figure that was about to disappear from a distance, and couldn't help but sigh, luckily there is still Bai Yutang!

"I said cat, drink it up, you're not a child, drinking soup is like killing you...Come on, drink soup!" Bai Yutang scooped up a spoonful of winter melon and chicken soup and brought it to Zhan Zhao's mouth , raised his eyebrows, "Come on, the fifth master has already been fed to your lips, please save face!"

Zhan Zhao squinted at him, but still felt that Bai Yutang was so sticky like jaggery that he couldn't keep his face off, so he took the soup bowl and drank it all in one gulp.Seeing this, Bai Yutang smiled and put the spoonful of soup into his mouth.

"Okay, Yutang. Don't make this wax gourd chicken tomorrow. Zhan is in good health and doesn't need to make up again." Zhan Zhao was asked by Gongsun Ce and Bai Yutang to rest in peace, and it was impossible to go out to patrol the streets. I can't even touch the official documents within the division.The most hateful thing is that other people in Kaifeng Mansion and the fourth brother also joined in the fun.

Zhan Zhao these days, besides eating and sleeping, Mr. Gongsun’s herbal diet and Shiquan Dabu soup are naturally not much better. Bai Yutang also makes him this winter melon chicken every day. This food is really nourishing and refreshing, but no matter how good it is It will turn off your appetite if you keep eating!What's more, Bai Yutang did this to make fun of himself, as if he didn't hear Brother Huzi and the others what they said about the soup?Supplementary food for pregnant women! ! ! !God, spare him!

Bai Yutang smiled and didn't promise him.This winter melon and chicken soup still needs to be drunk for a few more days. Zhan Zhao just planted a new saxin vine last night. Although he no longer has the pain all over his body like before, he has also suffered a lot.

"My dear cat, how about two more days, just two days?" Bai Yutang said with a smile while cleaning up the dishes, "Let's do it, let the cook add a few new supplementary meals tomorrow. Well, longan meat porridge, lamb liver spinach and egg soup, braised carp, and..."

"White mouse, if you want to see my jokes, just tell me," Zhan Zhao said helplessly, stroking his forehead, "If I continue to eat like this, I will be so fat that I can't run..."

"Is there?" Bai Yutang got up and came over, taking advantage of Zhan Zhao's inattention, twisted his waist, "Come on, cat, your waist is so thin, Master Bai can wrap one arm around it, how dare you say you have gained weight? Unqualified, I have to feed it for a few more days..."

Zhan Zhao was so angry that he wanted to strangle the white mouse to death, what the hell!

In the distance, Gongsun Ce watched the two fight and stroked his long beard contentedly. Bai Yutang did a good job, so Zhan Zhao handed him over to supervise.

"Mr. Gongsun, how is Guard Zhan doing?" Bao Zheng changed into his normal robe and stood next to Gongsun Ce, and also glanced at the hut, "Looks in good spirits~"

"It's nothing serious." Gongsun Ce raised his head and smiled, "If Bai Yishi can keep feeding the cats for the students like this, the burden on the students will be much easier."

"Mr. Gongsun will get his wish." Bao Zheng leaned on the railing, stretched his neck, and showed a slight smile, "The future will be long..."

"By the way, my lord, the students have already received their reply." Gongsun Ce dragged Bao Zheng back, they were so old, they secretly took a look at what those kids were like playing around.

"Oh? What did the general say?" Bao Zheng asked.

"He said he already knew, and he would play it by ear with Grand Master Pang." Gongsun Ce lowered his eyes. After 20 years, that person was still the same, free and easy. In the reply letter, there was a faint sense of confidence between the lines.

Bao Zheng nodded, and caught a glimpse of a green jade ring hanging from his master's waist, no matter how you look at it, it looks like a gift from this person many years ago.When did you come back to him again?

Ring, and...

He turned his face to look at Gongsun Ce. Do these two people also have a chance to start over?

I really hope that the future will be long...
