C178 (1/2)
Xuanyuan Mocheng walked in and carefully sized up every single detail in the room. He had a faint premonition that Qin Feng and Qin Chen had been tricked by the other party.
However, Qin Feng and Qin Chen had already reached the imperial chefs. Seeing that the chefs were extremely busy, because today was the day Xuanyuan Zhiling was hosting a banquet for all of them, he had to make hundreds of high-class dishes in an instant. Naturally, none of the imperial chefs dared to neglect him.
”empress has arrived …”
With these words from Qin Chen, no matter how busy they were, all the chefs stopped what they were doing.
”Which one was the one who made the Silver Ear Soup for empress?”
Qin Chen's eyes were filled with killing intent, if she knew, she would definitely skin that person alive, and would not be able to dispel her hatred.
When Qin Chen said this, a fat imperial chef walked out and knelt on the ground while shivering.
”Hmph, you bold chef, do you know that the Silver Ear Soup you made for the empress has poison in it? Are you trying to assassinate the empress?! ”
Qin Chen immediately gave the imperial chef a resounding slap!
When the imperial chef heard this, his chubby face immediately contorted, with some confusion and panic.
”empress, I have never poisoned the silver ear soup of empress.”
When the imperial chef spoke till here, he had already started to kowtow towards Qin Feng. Qin Feng realized that something was wrong, Qin Feng did not have any enmity with such a small imperial chef, so why would he want to kill her?
Qin Feng frowned slightly, and looked at the chef coldly.
”Since you said that it wasn't you, then tell me, did you notice any strangers entering the kitchen today? ”Or when you were making the soup, who behaved weirdly?”
When Qin Feng said this, the imperial chef started to carefully recall his memories.
”empress, a stranger came to the imperial kitchen today.”
The chef spoke lightly and his status was low. Naturally, he did not dare to hide anything from Qin Feng and told him everything that had happened during the day.
This person was none other than the maid Qian Er by Nalan Duo'er's side. Although Nalan Duo'er was imprisoned in the Purple Palace, her title of 'Nalan Duo'er' was still there, and even went about her business and clothing.
”Qian Er? What is she doing here? ”
After Qin Chen heard this name, she became alert.
”She seems to have come to argue with us …”
The chef said as he hung his head.
”Theory of what?”
Qin Feng heard and frowned. She looked a little doubtful.
The imperial chef seemed to have hidden her difficulties, as she said with a helpless look on her face: ”Because ever since Imperial Consort Lan was imprisoned in the Purple Palace, Qian Er had frequently come to react, and said that the Purple Palace's food was getting worse and worse.”
After saying all that, Qin Chen coldly snorted.
”This Imperial Consort Lan, has she been beaten into the cold palace or not? She's really annoying.”
Qin Chen's words were filled with extreme sarcasm, and when she said till here, Qin Feng also let out a cold harrumph.
”Did such a stranger come to the kitchen today?”
Qin Feng asked coldly, the chef thought about it and nodded.
”Yes, this is the person who came to the kitchen today.”
When Qin Chen heard this, she slightly frowned. She turned her face and said to Qin Feng: ”But empress, it might have been done by someone inside the chefs. If that's the case …”
When Qin Chen said till here, she nodded.
”What you said makes sense.”
Saying that, Qin Feng looked at the imperial chef and instructed them to continue working. She then brought Qin Chen along to head back to Blue Bird Hall.
Along the way, Qin Feng had a solemn expression. Could it be that Nalan Duo'er was beaten into the cold palace and wanted to use all means possible?
”empress, from Qin Chen's point of view, it must be that Nalan Duo'er's doing again.”
Qin Chen's eyes suddenly flashed with a trace of coldness, this Nalan Duo'er really did not give up on her evil intentions.
Qin Feng did not speak, a complicated expression on her face.
”empress, do you want me to rush to the Purple Palace and drag that bitch out?”
Qin Chen already hated Nalan Duo'er to the core, this madman who wanted to get the emperor's love.
Qin Feng shook her head, and said indifferently: ”Forget it, it's better to not cause too much trouble. Furthermore, she has already been sent to the cold palace, we have discovered her tricks, why do we need to cause both of us to suffer?”
When Qin Feng said this, she let out a helpless sigh.
”Yes, empress, but what should we do after this?”
Qin Chen said indifferently, her head lowered as she followed behind Qin Feng.
”Disposal of moves at first sight. What should be done will be done.”
Qin Feng said blandly, as the two of them walked towards the Blue Bird Hall.
At this moment, they absolutely did not expect that during the period of time that they had left the Blue Bird Hall, an unexpected guest had already arrived within the Blue Bird Hall.
Qian Er had already entered the Blue Bird Hall and placed a scented sachet under Qin Feng's pillow.
Qian Er's sneaky look, and the way she placed the sachet under Qin Feng's pillow were all seen by him.
But Xuanyuan Mocheng did not come out to stop them, and instead quietly hid outside the window to watch the scene.
When Qian Er left, Xuanyuan Mocheng had been waiting for him to appear.
”empress, you should rest. The emperor will let you go to the Endless Harmony Hall later.”
Qin Chen looked at Qin Feng with some worry; Qin Feng's body was already a little tired.
Ever since Qin Feng became pregnant with the dragon, no matter if it was the body or the personality, she had changed a lot. She liked to sleep very much, and his personality had become a lot more violent as well.
