Chapter 393: Three Sins
Yingren was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said: "No, no, I heard that the crown princess fell ill half a year ago, and there are so many imperial doctors in the palace, but no one can cure her, and now she is still bedridden." This lady Liuli only entered the prince's mansion two years ago, and she was to see the prince's brother. ”
"Look?" Chu Huan was stunned for a moment, and said strangely: "Could it be that this Mrs. Liuli is a doctor?" ”
Yingren said: "It is said that she is a person from the Northwest Tianshan Dao, her father is a doctor, and it is said that he is also a miracle doctor, but I don't know what kind of medical skills he has." This Mrs. Liuli was recommended to come over, she knows the way of acupuncture, the prince's brother can't do it with his legs, she entered the prince's mansion, and she used acupuncture to treat the prince's brother, but it's been two years, and the prince's brother doesn't seem to be getting better, it seems that Mrs. Liuli's medical skills are also average, but ...... But her appearance is really rare in the world, the prince's brother has taken her into the side room a year ago, and everyone calls her Mrs. Liuli! ”
"I see." Chu Huan just heard that Mrs. Liuli was just seeing the prince sick, and there was still a ripple in his heart, and finally heard that he had been accepted as a concubine by the prince, but he felt a sense of loss in his heart.
It's not that he's lustful, it's just that he's such a beautiful woman and a famous flower, any man will have a sense of loss.
"Your Highness, the Crown Prince's legs...... Why is this so? Chu Huan frowned.
Yingren smiled bitterly: "I didn't know before, but now I understand." I only knew that the prince's brother had been seriously injured and almost died, but although he survived, his health has been very poor. Five years ago, the prince's brother's two legs suddenly couldn't walk, and the imperial doctors took a look, saying that the prince's brother's leg meridians were actually hit hard, and if it was an ordinary person, he would have been unable to walk for a long time, but the prince's brother had practiced martial arts, and the body's meridians were much stronger than ordinary people, so they could last for many more years. If it is said that after being injured and recuperating for a long time, it may be possible to recover slowly, but after the founding of the country, there are still remnants of various countries in Daqin who have raised troops to fight against each other, and the prince's brother often led troops to quell the chaos at that time, and often went through battle formations, and the meridians were greatly damaged, so in the end, his legs were paralyzed and he could no longer walk. Speaking of this, he couldn't help but sigh, obviously still very affectionate towards the prince, and lamented his crippled legs.
Suddenly, I heard the sound of wheels rolling, and knew that it was the prince who washed his hands and came back, so the two separated and sat upright, and sure enough, Mrs. Liuli came out with a wheelchair.
Tian Hou also followed up from outside, got out of the wheelchair with the prince, and sat down in the main seat, while Mrs. Liuli knelt next to the desk, picked up the teapot, and poured a glass of water for the prince, very considerate.
Mrs. Liuli's sitting posture is still extremely graceful, and the legs go to the back, fragrant. The hips arched slightly, and the skirt was tightened. The graceful curve of the buttocks is outlined, round but not large, moist but not greasy, the jade back is straight, the slender waist is wrapped, the exposed jade neck is deceiving the frost and snow, the skin is delicate and white, like milk, Chu Huan only glanced at it, but his brain thought of some palace ladies he had seen, the ladies with beautiful lines in it are all elegant and moving, and Mrs. Liuli naturally has an elegant and moving temperament, but Chu Huan feels that few painters can show the unique beauty of Mrs. Liuli on the picture vividly.
At this moment, two more pretty maids came in from the outside, both carrying jade plates, and came inside, kneeling next to King Qi and Chu Huan, with their heads down, but holding the jade plate in both hands, and Qing Shui inside.
Chu Huan and King Qi were both puzzled.
The prince has already smiled and said: "Yingren, you are often in the palace, and you eat fine food, today the palace will let you taste the food of the desert?" ”
"What?" Yingren didn't understand for a while.
"Wash your hands!" The prince smiled: "We originally ate boiled food, and today the palace invites you to eat grilled food." Xiliang people and the barbarians in the north, they are good at barbecue, the taste is very delicious, a while ago the palace got a good cook, good at barbecue, today he roasted lamb for us, the palace tasted, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, delicious and delicious, you have to taste it! ”
Yingren said excitedly: "Is it barbecue? Brother Prince, you still know me. I was in the palace, and I wanted to eat barbecue several times, but the queen mother said, it is what those savages eat, we are the heavenly kingdom, and we eat fine food, but we can't be like them, hahaha, today I finally have a mouthful, I can taste barbecue. Suddenly, he felt that he had said something wrong, and said embarrassedly: "Brother Prince, I'm ...... I'm not saying you're a savage, hey, I'm ...... That's it, the more you say it, the more wrong it is! ”
The prince laughed heartily, and Mrs. Liuli also turned her head to take a look, covering her lips with her jade hands, and smiled softly, which was very moving.
Chu Huan and Yingren both washed their hands. Wiped it clean, and then Tian Hou, who was standing not far away, clapped his hands, and immediately several attendants brought up a silver plate from behind, and the plate was covered with a silver lid.
Chu Huan saw that Tian Hou seemed to be guarding the prince's side forever like an iron tower, the distance was not too close, but it was definitely not too far, just like the prince's protector, and the small ghost knife never left his body, and he could follow the prince with a sword, which shows that this person is extremely trusted by the prince, and can make the prince value and arrange it by his side, and it can also be seen that Tian Hou is definitely a very powerful character.
The silver plate was placed on the table, and the attendant withdrew, and soon a maid brought a small silver plate, on which were placed sharp daggers, which seemed to be used for roasting meat.
Yingren couldn't wait to open the silver lid and said happily: "Brother Prince, I will accept your blessing today, and I will be polite, and I will eat a lot of it...... Ah......! He let out a sudden exclamation, and the silver plate in his hand fell, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.
As soon as he shouted, Tian Hou's hand grasped the handle of the knife almost instantly, it was so fast, it was really incredible, and his body was ghostly forward, already close to the prince's side, but Chu Huan also quickly reached out, grabbed the dagger, and approached Yingren, one hand was across Yingren's chest, his eyes were cold, and the other hand was already holding the dagger.
Yingren exclaimed, and the two masters, Tian Hou and Chu Huan, reacted almost at the same time.
Chu Huan stared at Tian Hou with both eyes, Tian Hou also looked at Chu Huan with a cold face, the eyes of the two masters turned out to be flashing murderous intentions, and they seemed to think that the other party had made a move.
Sudden changes, Mrs. Liuli is a woman, naturally she is also discolored, her hands cover her mouth, her hazy eyes are slightly shocked, but her body is still kneeling very elegantly, and her breasts are violently rising and falling because of fright, but it is the prince, who is an iron-blooded man who came out of the battlefield, although his legs are missing, but his concentration is there, calm and calm: "Tian Hou, step down!" ”
Tian Hou didn't say much, his hand let go of the knife, and slowly retreated, in stark contrast to the speed and slowness of his progress.
Chu Huan had already gotten up and arched his hand: "The minister is rude, and please ask His Highness to surrender his guilt!" ”
The prince waved his hand and said with a smile: "Lord Chu is good at kung fu, very good." Looking at Yingren, he saw that Yingren's face was still shocked, and he frowned: "Yingren, what's wrong with you?" ”
Yingren raised his arm, didn't care about the appearance, wiped his forehead, pointed to the silver plate and said, "Inside...... There's blood in it! ”
"Blood?" The prince's face was also difficult to look at.
Tonight's staple food is roast lamb, although it is roasted meat, but it will definitely not be bloody, listening to Yingren say this, the prince looked back at Tian Hou, Tian Hou came over expressionlessly, opened the silver plate, put it aside, and then looked at it, and then said: "Your Highness, there is blood, blood and hair!" ”
On the silver plate, there is half a lamb, not big, most of the places are roasted with a golden color, and exude bursts of fragrance, if it is just like this, it will definitely make people's appetite move, but in a corner of the lamb, there are blood stains, obviously not baked clean, the blood, even with clearly recognizable hair on it, suddenly see this, it is indeed a little surprising.
The prince's voice said coldly: "Bring the cook who barbecues the meat!" ”
Soon, a man was brought up, but this person was tall, with very white skin, curly hair, a high nose and big eyes, Chu Huan glanced at it, and recognized it as a barbarian from the north.
The barbarian cook was taken to the elegant hall and knelt on the ground, and the prince had already pointed to the roast sheep with blood and said coldly: "This is the good meat you roasted?" ”
The barbarian cook glanced at it, his soul was scattered, he kowtowed again and again, and said in a trembling voice in Chinese, which was not very fluent: "Your Highness spares your life, Your Highness spares your life, it's not like this, it's not like this......!" ”
As soon as the prince waved his hand, Tian Hou had already said coldly: "Take it down and cut it!" ”
The two guards stepped forward and grabbed the arm of the barbarian cook, and were about to drag it down and cut it, when they suddenly heard a crisp voice say: "Wait! Everyone followed the sound, but it was Mrs. Liuli who raised her hand to stop.
The prince glanced at Mrs. Liuli and said calmly: "Tonight, the palace set up a banquet for the king of Qi to suppress the shock, and it was a good Yaxing, but it was ruined by this cook, and it also frightened the king of Qi, and his crime should be beheaded!" ”
Mrs. Liuli's blue eyes flowed, looking forward to the brilliance, and said coquettishly: "Your Highness, this cook is indeed guilty, and there are three crimes, let the concubine point out his guilt, let him understand his sins, and it will not be too late to kill!" ”
The prince frowned slightly, but still nodded and said, "You say!" ”
Mrs. Liuli looked at the barbarian cook, and said slowly: "You have three crimes, the first crime, as far as the concubine knows, you have been told in advance tonight that you want to entertain His Royal Highness the King of Qi, His Royal Highness ordered you to roast three lambs, such a distinguished guest, you must be careful, but you don't know that there is no mistake in the barbecue on weekdays, but when the King of Qi arrives, you roast bloody meat, this is that you don't know the times, for the first sin!" ”
The barbarian cook trembled all over his body, and was extremely frightened, but he just said: "Spare your life, spare your life, it's not like this, it's not like this!" ”
"The second sin, the roast of the roast meat, the color of the whole body of the roast sheep, obviously you have put a lot of effort into it, but the roast sheep is roasted golden, but it cannot dry a piece of blood on its body, and even the fire cannot roast the hair, this is your uneven use of fire. Everyone understands that hair is the most flammable, and if there is a slight spark, it will be burned, but you can still bring a few hairs in the blood, and the fire will not burn, this is your unintentional barbecue, and it is the second sin! "Lady Liuli's voice is very soft, although she refers to the best of others, but there is no blame in that voice.
But the prince and the others faintly heard that something was wrong.
It must be known that the whole body of this roast sheep is roasted to a golden brown, except for one place where there is blood sticky, and there is even hair on it, if it is really roasted by the fire, even if the lamb is not washed in advance, under the fire barbecue, the blood must be roasted dry, and if the hair on it is already wiped out, it is absolutely impossible to survive until now, and there is blood hair sticking to it, unless it is roasted and then coated.
This truth was asked by Mrs. Liuli, and it instantly emerged.
"Let me ask you, but you put the barbecue on a silver plate with your own hands?" Lady Liuli's beautiful eyes were longing, and she asked softly.
The cook hurriedly said: "Yes, it's the villain's own hands...... Put it in with your own hands! ”
"Then you have a third sin." Mrs. Liuli said slowly: "You know that you are entertaining distinguished guests, but after baking, you can't check it carefully, and you can't even find such a large piece of blood, let it be served, this is your last sin, the sin of having eyes without beads!" After she finished speaking, she looked at the prince and said softly: "Your Highness, the concubine body has finished talking about the three sins, how to deal with it, please ask Your Highness to decide!" ”
Chu Huan secretly applauded.
Mrs. Liuli counted three crimes, but in fact, the cook's sins have come to naught, no matter how stupid the cook is, it is impossible to find death by himself, it is clear that it is three crimes, but it is unreasonable everywhere, and the three sins are out, without any argument, the barbarian cook is already innocent.
The prince glanced at Tian Hou, and without saying much, Tian Hou already understood what was going on and retreated.
The prince waited for Tian Hou to retreat, and then smiled at Mrs. Liuli and said, "Liuli, if it weren't for you, I'm afraid that this palace would do something wrong today." Then he frowned and said to Yingren: "Yingren, you are already a seven-foot man, when this palace is as big as you, you have already cut off countless heads, you will eventually do great things, how can you be shocked like this because of a little blood?" ”
Yingren was a little ashamed and said, "Brother Prince, I made a fuss. ”
The prince shook his head and sighed: "You have also seen too little, I can't blame you." It's a pity that the father and queen mother spoil you too much, otherwise sending you to the army for more experience will definitely increase your courage! ”
"Yes!" Yingren said: "Actually, I also want to go to the army for training, but my father doesn't allow it, brother the prince, do you have a way to persuade my father and let me ......!" Speaking of this, he suddenly stopped, and his expression was even more embarrassed.
The emperor and the prince live separately inside and outside the palace, one rarely goes out of the palace, one has not entered the palace for several years, the father and son are like strangers, and because of this situation, countless people have seen His Majesty the emperor snub the prince, so they have thrown themselves to the Han Wangmen, the prince was the prince of the country, and he flocked to it, and now the Han Wang Party is flourishing, but the princeling has weakened too much.
Yingren begged the prince to persuade the emperor, which was undoubtedly entrusted to him.
Mrs. Liuli had regained her composure at this time, and her pretty face, which was pale because of fright, was already white and red at this time, and it was delicate, like a ripe plum, and anyone who saw it wanted to take a bite.
