The Eighth Wise King became addicted to eavesdropping on the silly princess' thoughts

Siyu looked at the old man with ghost hands whose eyebrows were squeezed together due to the spiciness, and he kept exhaling "hissing" sounds from his mouth. He laughed so hard that he couldn't eat noodles.

I thought to myself that the peppers grown by my young lady are really fragrant and spicy!

They were trained by the young lady for several months, and they only dared to add a spoonful of the tip each time.

This greedy old guy has such a big spoon that even the young lady doesn’t dare to eat it like that!

Luo Li knocked on the table with her chopsticks.

"Old ghost, this chili oil of mine is priceless and precious! Since you like spicy food so much, I will grant your wish. Don't waste even a drop of soup from this bowl of noodles!"

The ghost-handed poison doctor had a sad face, secretly cursing himself for being so greedy. He gritted his teeth and ate the noodles in the red oily noodle soup mouthful by mouthful.

Luo Li and Si Yu, who were waiting to see the joke, were surprised to find that the old guy was actually enjoying the food more and more! The spicy food made sweat on the tip of his nose and forehead, and the big bowl of noodles was almost finished.

Qin Wang Zhao Defang was half leaning and half sitting on the bed. He smelled a strong fragrance and his whole body was ready to rebel.

Why are the maids that the housekeeper selected and assigned to Ningxin Garden nowhere to be seen? How do these servants do their work?

All the maids coming in and out are the dowry maids brought by his silly princess. They have no sense of propriety at all. I wonder if he, as a prince, would get hungry too?

King Qin coughed twice!

Luo Li turned around to look at him through the carved gaps in the dormitory, then turned around and continued eating noodles.

【I’ll make you so greedy! 】

The Ghost Hand Poison Doctor held the large bowl and poured the last drop of soup into his mouth. He put the bowl down with a feeling of being unsatisfied and wiped his mouth.

: "It's really delicious! Compared with dogwood oil, this chili oil is more fragrant and spicy, so satisfying!"

The King of Qin saw through the gaps in the carvings that his uncle looked satisfied and unsatisfied after eating the delicious food.

I thought to myself, uncle, you are so unkind. You have satisfied your appetite, but your nephew is still hungry!

King Qin Zhao Defang coughed twice again!

The Ghost Hand Poison Doctor finally heard it this time and shouted into the bed, "Smelly boy! Are you hungry? Do you want a bowl of noodles?"

"want!"

Zhao Defang didn't dare to be polite to his uncle. If he was polite, the uncle would starve him for three days without any care.

The Ghost Hand Poison Doctor looked at Luo Li with an apologetic smile, "Master! My nephew is hungry too."

Luo Li ordered without even raising her head, "Ruhua, help the King of Qin get a bowl of noodles, a small bowl!"

The King of Qin thought to himself that his silly princess was so stingy to him. She gave my uncle-master such a big bowl, and you and the maid ate two bowls, but you only gave me a small bowl?

When Ruhua brought the bowl of noodles to him, King Qin finally understood what a small bowl meant!

Looking at the noodles in the tea bowl, the King of Qin wanted to give up eating out of spite, but he couldn't resist the protest of his stomach!

The King of Qin took the "noodle bowl" with dignity, and thought of the "chili oil" that his uncle praised as extremely delicious.

: "Give me some of that chili oil."

Without waiting for the young lady to speak, Ruhua flatly refused, "Your Majesty, you can't eat that chili oil. When you are injured or sick, you should avoid spicy and greasy food."

How dare a maidservant speak and act like that to her master? How does the Luo family train their servants?

The King of Qin was too magnanimous to argue with a slave. He picked up a few noodles with chopsticks and began to eat them elegantly.

The noodles are cut into thin and even pieces, and the chicken soup is rich and fragrant. This bowl of noodles is really delicious, but... there is too little of it!

...............

The candles in the Chuigong Hall were still lit, and the emperor was pacing up and down in the hall, no longer bothering to hide his anxiety and irritation!

Wang Jie'en huddled in a corner with his back bent and his hands hanging down, so frightened that he dared not breathe, fearing that the emperor would vent his anger on him if he was not careful.

Seeing that it was already dawn outside the window, a young eunuch finally ran in, bending over and bowing.

"Your Majesty, the commander of the Palace Front Department, Lord Li, and the commander of the Imperial City Department, Lord Cheng, have returned."

The emperor suddenly stopped and said, "Quick! Send them into the palace!"

After Li Mo and Cheng Wuya entered the hall, they fell to their knees with a plop.

The emperor's heart, which was suffocated by anxiety and irritability, sank again!

"The assassin wasn't caught?!"

Li Mo kowtowed in fear and apologized while making excuses.

“Your Majesty, the leader of the bandits was shot through the heart by an arrow from me and was dragged away by his companions.

When I and other ministers led the troops in pursuit, we were blocked by two groups of people arranged by the bandits to rob and kill.

When he was finally chased to the Bian River by our officials, the bandit leader was picked up by his accomplices who had been lying in ambush there and taken to the other side in a small boat.

There were no boats on the shore, so we could only watch the bandits escape. But..."

Before he could finish, the emperor was so angry that he kicked him to the ground!

"Useless! After days of careful planning and thousands of elite soldiers ambushing, only two bandits broke into the palace at night, and in the end they escaped! They are all a bunch of useless good-for-nothings!"

The emperor is furious!

Cheng Wuya saw that the emperor's face was red with anger and his eyes were spitting fire, like a mad lion. He had completely lost his usual calm and composed demeanor as a king.

He was so scared that he quickly lowered his head to the ground and lay there, leaving the opportunity to be a target to Li Mo.

Li Mo, who was kicked over, lay down on the ground again, and tremblingly took the blow with courage.

"Your Majesty, please calm down! The arrow I shot at the thief hit the left side of his chest.

Although he was robbed by his men, there is no chance of him surviving! I estimate that the leader of the thieves should be dead by now!"

Cheng Wuya also took the opportunity to look up and quickly spoke to help, "Your Majesty! Lord Li is right.

When I was fighting desperately with the bandit leader, Lord Li took the opportunity to shoot an arrow right into the bandit leader's left chest!

At that time, I was face to face with the bandit leader and saw everything clearly. There was no chance that the bandit leader would survive, and the bandits only took away a dying corpse!"

The emperor's expression eased slightly, "Are you sure about what you said?"

Li Mo and Cheng Wuya assured in unison, "Your Majesty, we dare not speak nonsense! Even if the thief leader was not dead at that time, he would definitely not live until dawn!"

The emperor hesitated for a moment and said, "My dear Cheng, you fought the bandit leader face to face. Can you recognize his identity?"

Cheng Wuya replied without hesitation, "Your Majesty, although the bandit leader has a black scarf covering his head, revealing only a pair of eyes, his figure is definitely that of Qin Wang Zhao Defang!"

"What Lord Cheng said is correct, that person is definitely King Qin Zhao Defang!" Li Mo also said firmly.

The emperor pondered for a moment.

"Wang Jie'en, you and Cheng Wuya go to the Qin Palace. I want to reward the Qin King again. Li Mo, you take 5,000 imperial guards and ambush on the street behind the Qin Palace. Act according to the situation!"

"We obey your order!"

Wang Jie'en, Li Mo and Cheng Wuya all responded in unison.

Emperor Zhao Guangyi, who had not slept all night, leaned tiredly on the back of the imperial chair, his mind spinning rapidly.

"Are there any movements from the three thousand Moyun Cavalry stationed outside the city?"

A young eunuch bowed and reported back quickly, "Master Wei has sent back messages every hour, and there is no abnormal movement among the three thousand Moyun Cavalry."

The emperor's anxiety and irritability did not ease at all.

What happened last night was something he and several of his trusted ministers had planned for a long time.

The 60,000 imperial guards outside the city surrounded the camp of the 3,000 Moyun Cavalry on all sides. The 5,000 elite imperial guards inside the city, together with many experts from the Imperial City Department, were lying in ambush behind the Wansui Palace and in front of the Daqing Palace. It could be said that this was a foolproof plan!

The worry that had been bothering me last night did come true, but the result...

.....................

After Luo Li finished eating the noodles and filled her stomach, she felt a little tired and sleepy.

The bed was occupied by Prince Qin, so Luo Li could only instruct Ruhua and Siyu to bring in the chaise longue from the hall, and she would just take a nap on the chaise longue!

After daybreak, Yingchun and the others could finally enter the main house and receive orders.

Sister Ruhua said that the prince and princess were still resting in the room, so they had to stay in the hall and wait for orders.

Banxia bit Yingchun's ear quietly, "Sister Yingchun, how long did the prince and princess stay up last night? The hot water was only brought in at dawn, and it's already noon and they haven't gotten up yet!"

Yingchun blushed, "You little bitch! Will you die if I stop talking too much? The prince was so drunk last night, even if he sobered up, he would have sex with the princess in the middle of the night."

Banxia covered her mouth and laughed secretly, "Sister Yingchun still knows more."

Yingxue followed up with a joke in a low voice, "Not only did they bring hot water at dawn, but Miss Tingting also cooked two pots of noodles! The prince and princess must have been very tired and hungry, and they ate up both pots of noodles."

The four maids who were quietly discussing the prince and princess' wedding night last night were startled by a shadow guard who suddenly broke in!

"Quick! Hurry and tell the prince that someone from the palace has come to give the reward. It's Wang Jie'en himself!"
