To Hold One’s Joy

  Chapter 471 Drinking

  Concubine Xiao Gui still looked at her with peaceful eyes and a faint smile.

  Xiuyue shook her hands, and a lot of plum juice in the glass cup spilled out.

   "The woman is clumsy, please forgive me." Xiuyue hurriedly wiped it with a veil, and knelt down to plead guilty.

   Concubine Xiao smiled sweetly: "It's okay. Tao Hong, give Xiu Gu another cup."

  Tao Hong brought another glass of plum juice: "Xiu Gu, this time I have to take it. This plum juice is a tribute from the south."

  Xiuyue took the glass cup steadily, and drank the plum juice one gulp at a time.

   Concubine Xiao watched the light red liquid in the cup decrease little by little, and smiled with satisfaction: "How does Gu Xiu feel about the taste?"

  Xiuyue lowered her eyes and said, "It tastes good."

  Concubine Xiao Guihe chuckled: "Xiugu is a good crafter. After tasting the taste of this plum juice, I will be able to make better ones."

  Xiuyue bowed her knees: "Your Majesty's praise."

  Concubine Xiao Gui stared at her for a moment, then said calmly: "You have worked hard today, and I may invite you to the palace next month."

   "The women of the people are always ready to be summoned by the empress."

  Concubine Xiao Gui stroking her slender fingers, said casually: "Tao Hong, send Aunt Xiu out."

  Taohong led Xiuyue out of the palace gate and stopped: "The slaves are here. Don't forget your empress's appreciation for you, Miss Xiu. Maybe we will meet again next month."

   "That's the honor of women."

  Tao Hong glanced at Xiuyue with scrutiny, then turned and went in.

  Xiuyue was led by a servant to leave the palace, and went straight back to a restaurant.

  Luo Sheng, who was waiting in the restaurant, was quite uneasy.

   Cooking rabbits to death and killing donkeys may have become the norm for those who have lived in the palace for a long time.

  Xiuyue holds not only the secret of Concubine Xiao's pregnancy, but also the hope of other concubines' pregnancy. With the medicinal diet prescription already obtained, it is safest for Concubine Xiao to get rid of Xiuyue.

  But she believes that as long as Concubine Xiao Gui is not stupid, she will not kill Xiuyue in the palace.

   During the unbearable waiting, the door of the restaurant was finally pushed open, and Xiuyue hurried in.

   "Let's talk about it later."

  The two master and servant entered the back room, Luo Sheng immediately asked: "How is it? Did you encounter any unusual things in Yuhua Palace?"

   "Concubine Xiao Gui let the servant girl drink a cup of plum juice."

  Luo Sheng's eyes tightened, and his expression changed: "Plum juice?"

  Listening to Xiuyue's detailed account of what happened in Yuhua Palace, Luo Sheng's expression became even more ugly.

   Concubine Xiao gave Xiuyue plum juice to drink, which is really obvious.

  Xiuyue took out a handkerchief from her sleeve: "The maid remembered your order and spilled some plum juice on purpose."

  There are light red marks on the snow-white veil, and the dirty place is still wet.

   "Follow me." Luo Sheng immediately got up and walked out of the house, and told Hongdou, who was building a snowman with Koer, "Go and pack the casserole stewed in the kitchen and bring it to me."

  Hongdou clapped her hands, shook the snowflakes from her dress, and told Kerr, "Let me pretend to be the snowman's eyes!"

  Keer didn't make a sound, waited for the red beans to run into the kitchen, and unhurriedly pressed two black agates on them, and the originally empty snowman immediately became animated.

   Not long after, Hong Dou came out with a food box and asked with a smile, "Girl, are you going to deliver food to the genius doctor?"

   Miracle doctors like to eat fatty intestines, everyone knows it.

  Luo Sheng nodded slightly.

   "The servant girl will accompany you."

   "No need." Luo Sheng reached out to take the food box, and led Xiuyue out.

  Red Dou pouted.

  Xiu Gu fights for favor again at her age!

   As soon as he turned his head, he met the snowman's black grape-like eyes.

  Hongdou's voice suddenly rose: "Kuer, why don't you mean what you say?"

  Keer blinked innocently: "I didn't say anything. Besides, look how beautiful this snowman's eyes are with black agate."

   "It's not worthy at all." Hongdou overbearingly removed the black agate and threw it on the ground, pressed two watermelon seeds on it, and then nodded with satisfaction, "This is not so much cuter."

  Keer: "..."

   Hongdou's vision really doesn't work.

  Luo Sheng led Xiuyue to the door of the restaurant, and could still hear two little maids arguing.

  The medical hall is just opposite the wine shop. Although the door is open, no one comes in or out.

  The gatekeeper, Fu Ling, was drowsy. When he saw Luo Sheng approaching, he jumped up and said, "Miss Luo, why are you here to deliver the meal in person today?"

   It has long been a practice to deliver meals to Miracle Doctor Li every day, but usually a strong man is in charge.

   "I haven't chatted with the old man, the genius doctor, for a long time. Come and have a look."

  Fu Ling hurriedly led Luo Sheng and the two to the back, and shouted: "Genius doctor, Miss Luo is here to bring you food."

   A moment later, Divine Doctor Li's angry voice came from inside the room: "Come in."

  Luo Sheng walked in with Xiuyue.

   Miracle doctor Li glanced at the food box, then at Xiuyue, and said with a straight face, "Tell me, what's the matter?"

  Nothing to be courteous, either **** or steal!

  Luo Sheng was not embarrassed either, he opened the food box and took out the tightly covered casserole: "I made a casserole sausage today, and brought it for you to taste."

   Fat intestines?

   Miracle Doctor Li couldn't help but twitched the corners of his mouth.

  He had the best bite, especially the fat sausage stewed in a casserole, with mushrooms, bamboo shoots and sour pickled red peppers, the taste—tsk tsk.

   "Tell me, what's the matter." The same thing, Dr. Li said this time much more kindly.

  Luo Sheng handed over the handkerchief that was stained with plum juice: "Could you please see if there is any problem with the juice stained on it?"

  Miraculous doctor Li took the handkerchief, put it on his nose and sniffed it.

  Luo Sheng didn't urge him, but waited quietly.

"Little girl, wait here." Miracle doctor Li took the handkerchief to the inner room, and returned after a while, his eyes passed Luo Sheng and fell on Xiuyue, "Luo girl, you brought this handkerchief with you Is it related to your cook?"

   A casserole with fat intestines is not that heavy, so there is no need to bring someone, especially a cook.

  Luo Sheng admitted frankly: "You are right, Xiugu took this juice today, so I brought it here for you to see."

   Miracle Doctor Li's complexion changed slightly: "Have you drank it?"

  Luo Sheng nodded, and asked tentatively: "Is there something wrong with this juice? Is it...poisonous?"

   Divine doctor Li was silent for a moment, and said: "To be precise, it's not poison, it's a kind of insect..."

  Luo Sheng's face turned pale, and he asked three times in a row: "What's the use of this bug? Can people get it out after eating it? Is Xiugu going to be okay?"

  The last point hit the nail on the head: "If something happens to Aunt Xiu, what will the restaurant do?"

  Miraculous Doctor Li: "..."

  Why is it the cook? Isn't this forcing him to rack his brains to find a solution.

  If something happens to the cook, he won't be able to eat delicious food. If you can't eat delicious food, you just move the medical hall to the opposite side of the wine shop.

  For his long-term physical and mental health, this trouble can only be accepted.

  Thinking like this, the old man gave Luo Sheng a hard look, and said angrily: "The little girl always finds things for me to do in movies!"
