Chapter Two Hundred

Many things often happen inadvertently. Yan Keran strode and heard rustling sounds when passing by the backyard of the imperial kitchen. Listening carefully, it sounds very much like a human being. At this time, who would be talking in this place? Yan Keran slowed down and began to chase the sound, pricking up his ears to listen.

"What do you doubt? What's wrong with that spice?"

"I don't know either, but my intuition tells me that these spices are not simple. Isn't it strange that the Royal Kitchen requires that we add spices to the snacks we make every day?"

"I discovered from the beginning that according to the customs of our Liang people, how can we add exotic spices to pastries? But later I tasted the flavor and found that with this spice, the pastries really became more delicious!"

"What? Why did you go and eat it?"

"I ate it secretly, and no one noticed it!"

"It's second to be discovered. What if... what if there's something wrong with the spice, what do you do?"

"I have been taking the spoon for thirty years. With Yin Li's introduction from time to time, I also know the medicinal properties and toxicity of some ingredients. The spice is indeed the first time I have seen it, but it cannot be denied that it plays the role of icing on the cake. I once tried it myself while someone was away and made a pastry with no spices and spices. The taste is obviously different. Do you think, who is the emperor? He is a person who has tasted all the delicious food in the world. His mouth will definitely be able to be distinguished quickly."

"But what is the purpose of the imperial kitchen? They can never tell us the emperor's favorite of this spice. After all, the more we like the emperor, the more unfavorable it is for them, especially the imperial kitchen officer."

"I didn't expect the layer you mentioned. I only knew how to make the dim sum delicious enough. There is such a deep water in it?"

"Hey, Fat Kui, I have experienced it a little in the officialdom for a year, and I have never been much better than you. But I always think there is something wrong with this spice, but because we are trapped in the imperial city and can't get out, I have no way to find out the specific source of this spice."

"I can help you!"

The ragged courtyard gate was pushed open, and with a clamor, he was really pregnant with Du Shaoyin and Pangkui. This place was the place they had worked hard to find where they could speak freely. They didn't expect that someone would come to the door in just a few days. But after the man entered, the two of them immediately changed their previous fear and turned into surprise.

"Ke Ran?"

"Ke Ran!"

Yan Keran walked to the two of them with great strides and looked at Du Shaoyin with emotion. Thousands of words turned into a warm hug. Yan Keran stretched out his arms and hugged them into his arms, and the three of them were very grateful.

"How come you two are here?"

"It's hard to say, I can only say a long story short. Before the royal celebration, the emperor called on Fat Kui to enter the palace to make a white case. I was worried that Fat Kui would accompany him. So many days have passed since we entered the palace, but the emperor just didn't mean to let us out of the palace."

Fat Kui's head was like pounding garlic. While litting, he pulled Yan Keran and asked, "Ke Ran, I heard before that you are already the captain of the Imperial Guard. You see, can you help us? Fat Kui, I really don't want to stay in the palace anymore. I want to go back to the academy!"

Yan Keran looked at the forty-year-old Fat Kui begging him with tears in his eyes. He felt so sorry for him, and immediately comforted him: "It is the emperor who entered the palace. Then there must be an oral order from the emperor when you leave the palace. I really can't help with this. After all, I am just a lieutenant, but Fat Kui, I promise you that I will definitely go and find a way."

"Ke Ran, thank you!"

Yan Keran was really amused and crying at this moment. Facing Fat Kui, who was as tough as a child, he could only keep comforting and patting his chest to ensure that he would do his best.

"Ke Ran, I have something to ask you. I hope you can tell me the truth. You are the Imperial Guard, and you will not know what happened in the palace."

When Du Shaoyin asked such a question, Yan Keran had already guessed what he wanted to ask. King Xiang is his boss now, but in front of him hesitated for a while, he decided to tell the truth.

"I know what you want to ask. From your question, I also know that you are still kept in the dark. Promise me, what I told you must only be in my heart, and continue to be the same after you go back, so that you cannot see the flaws."

After getting Du Shaoyin and Pang Kui nodded and agreed, Yan Keran briefly said the matter on the day of the celebration. Of course, he saved the princess and then was given an important task by King Xiang.

Du Shaoyin's face was solemn, and Fat Kui's mouth had become a circle. Their performance was as expected by Yan Keran, and at this time he could not connect these two people with the overall situation of power. In his opinion, they were just chefs, and he was still helping.

"Remember, don't show it. Also, you go back to the imperial kitchen earlier. Since I have come here, others will come too. If others hear you privately discussing, you will lose your head!"

"Ke Ran, I have one more thing to ask for your help!"

Du Shaoyin stared at Yan Keran with a fiery look on his eyes. This scene echoed in his head until Yan Keran arrived at the Skylark Platform. However, looking at the empty Skylark Platform, Yan Keran's loss covered up his doubts.

"She still didn't come, she still didn't come. It's already the thirteenth day. It's been thirteen days since I met last time. Did she encounter something? Or was she frightened before and was ill? No matter what the reason is, at least let me know about your current situation, Yun Xuan!"

Yan Keran was about to shout out, and he hit the stone railing with his hand, trying to turn all his thoughts into fists and vent his anger. He still refused to give up in his heart. Yan Keran stayed at the Skylark Platform until sunset, until he was sure that she would not appear again.

Yan Keran was sad and lost on the way back. The only thing she could understand was the sunset. The sunset grew a long and narrow figure behind him, and the afterglow poured on his shoulders, which was a kind of comfort to him.

For Yan Keran, it was just a love affair with his children, but for the people in Qingzhi Palace, this afternoon was on the verge of life and death. When Emperor Liang woke up slowly, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief. They knew that their heads were temporarily saved.

"Thank you all, Imperial Doctors, you guys, go back for now."

"Yes, I will leave!"

Several imperial doctors wiped the sweat from their foreheads and slowly retreated from Qingzhi Palace. Concubine Du immediately ordered someone to decoct the medicine, then turned to the bed of Emperor Liang, and said with lingering fear: "Your Majesty, you have to take care of the dragon body and keep it alive, otherwise I will......"

"I worry you." Emperor Liang's face was normal, but he was weak when he spoke. After a few words, he felt a little breathless. "I am really old, and my body is getting worse day by day."

"Your Majesty, stop talking, rest more, what are you hungry? I'll make your favorite snacks."

"You are determined. I'm afraid you have worked hard today, so you can take a rest."

As soon as Emperor Liang finished speaking, his stomach rumbling. Concubine Du finally smiled. She smiled and said to Emperor Liang: "Your Majesty, your Five Insect Temple has told the truth. I will do it now. The emperor will take a moment later."

Emperor Liang moved his lips, but he swallowed the words in the end without saying anything, just nodding.

Making pastries is Du Guifei's strength. After a short while, two pastries were out of the pot. Du Guifei immediately jogged to Emperor Liang, and at the same time ordered people to prepare a pot of tea soup.

Seeing Concubine Du busy, Emperor Liang felt mixed feelings. He held Concubine Du's hand and said, "I have treated you badly for so many years!"

"Your Majesty, why did you say this? It is a blessing for me to be with you. The emperor is already good to me. Now I am already a concubine. These honors are all given to me!"

"Fu'er, you are like the fourth brother, so you are so uncompetitive and kind-hearted. I am very content with you, mother and son."

"Your Majesty, don't say much, just eat first!"

Concubine Du brought the pastry into Emperor Liang's mouth. Although Emperor Liang swallowed it in the end, he turned his head away when facing the second piece of pastry sent. It was not that he was right and wrong. Although he had been doing this for so many years, he really felt that the pastry was tasteless and all he was thinking about was Pang Kui's skills.

"How? Isn't it to taste?"

"Your heart is enough. I have a little boring mouth. Now I just want to talk to you."

"What does the emperor want to say, I must accompany the emperor."
