Red Mansion Rebirth: Ghost Phoenix

Wang Xifeng didn't know that her slight cough had caused the emperor to become suspicious of almost everyone around him, so she tied a long whip around her waist and went straight to the Shang Shi.

Sun Qian hasn't left yet.

He was ordered to carefully check what Queen Mo had eaten that caused her to be in critical condition.

The two female officials in charge of the imperial kitchen were one of his fellow villagers, surnamed Guo; the other was Nanny Hai's goddaughter, surnamed Wan, and in theory, she should call him brother.

Therefore, the food and drink in Zhaoyang Palace has always been decided by him, and there has never been any mistake!

He just didn't understand, under such circumstances, who could make Queen Mo eat something that was mutually reinforcing and counteracting!

Sun Qian asked for the supply record book of Zhaoyang Palace, and started to read it page by page and line by line from half a month ago. He also asked Si Yao about it one by one, but in the end he could not see anything.

Just as he was getting anxious, a low-ranking lady outside came running in in a panic and reported: "Wang Liangdi is here in person with her people!"

Sun Qian was stunned: "How is it possible?"

Subconsciously, I glanced at the seasoning pots and stoves around me, and saw the mess.

——The other day, Liu Shang had a fight, and his sister's leg was pushed down by Shang Yi and broken. So he ordered someone to put a sack on Shang Yi and beat her like a pig!

Unexpectedly, the Shangyi Bureau didn't listen to the Shangshi Bureau's excuses at all. They picked the time between breakfast and lunch and a group of people came and smashed the Shangshi Bureau directly!

The Shangshi Bureau had to provide lunch for the masters and clean the house, and everyone was exhausted.

How could I let Wang Liangdi see this scene?!

Guo Shangshi, who was accompanying Sun Qian to check the accounts and was as fat as a ball, suddenly panicked and pulled Sun Qian aside to ask, "Didn't you say that she is too busy and doesn't have the time or the courage to argue with us?

"How come she actually came? The Queen is still unconscious, how dare she come here and make trouble..."

"Reporting to the chef," the low-ranking female historian said with difficulty, "I heard from outsiders that Wang Liangdi just went to see the Empress, and the Empress woke up after receiving her greeting..."

Sun Qian was pleasantly surprised: "The Queen is awake? That's great!"

Guo Shangshi also breathed a sigh of relief: "Yes, yes, that's great, I don't have to be afraid anymore!"

Everyone knows that the Queen Mother treats Nanny Hai as her own family member, and Nanny Hai's most beloved adopted son is Sun Qian. Although she has many adopted sons and daughters, the one in front of him is Nanny Hai's apple of the eye!

Now that the Queen has woken up and Sun Qian is in charge of the Imperial Food Bureau, there is nothing to worry about!

Guo Shangshi immediately calmed down and waved his short, thick hand, ordering the timid crowd: "Alright, alright, what are you crowding around for? Go pick up the broken utensils and ingredients, and make a list!

"That's perfect! Tomorrow we'll ask the Lady Liangdi, who will be assisting in the management of Daming Palace, to help us fill in the bill!"

Sun Qian glanced at her with a complicated expression.

The people around had never heard of Wang Xifeng's power, so they joined in the fun and laughed, then walked away leisurely to clean up the stove and the storehouse.

Sun Qian took advantage of the opportunity and wanted to leave.

However, he was held tightly by Guo Shangshi who was always keeping an eye on him: "Brother Sun, you can't leave. I followed your orders in all matters at noon, and Liangdi's eunuchs and palace maids also saw it.

"If you leave, if someone blames me, there won't be anyone in the Shangshi Bureau to save me - I don't have Madam Hai's support!"

No matter how hard I struggled, I couldn't get free.

This chef Guo is an expert at making pastry. She can wave 30 or 40 kilograms of dough in her hands as if it were nothing. She has great strength...

Sun Qian forced a smile: "I'm not leaving. I just stood there for a long time, so I'll find a place to sit for a while."

Guo Shangshi also smiled with him and pushed him down on the stool beside him: "Then brother, just sit here and take a rest!"

Sun Qian was completely powerless to fight back.

When they stepped into the courtyard of the Shangshi Bureau, Meng Fanshuang was quietly introducing to Wang Xifeng: "Wan Shangshi was originally just a chef in the Shangshi Bureau, and there were four chefs between him and the Shangshi.

"But she fawned over Madam Hai, acknowledged her as her godmother, and helped to bully Concubine Zhen twice, and was promoted to Shangshi.

"She is from Guangdong, and her only specialty is fish, shrimp, and seafood, but Queen Mo doesn't really like them.

"Guo Shangshi is a very good pastry chef, and he has worked his way up step by step. But he is a greedy person, and I think he has become one of their accomplices, so he must have been caught with a lot of evidence.

“When I was still in the palace, the Shangshi Bureau was headed by Shangshi Wan, and Shangshi Guo followed his orders and only worked for the money, and didn’t care about anything else.

"I just inquired and found out that the one who broke his leg the other day was Shang Shi Wan. I think the chaos in the Shang Shi Bureau is related to the fact that Shang Shi Guo has no prestige and is not willing to take on responsibilities."

Wang Xifeng did not comment, just curled the corner of her mouth, lifted her skirt, stepped over the threshold, strode into the yard, and then glanced at An'er.

An'er understood, took a step forward, and said loudly: "Duke Wang Liangdi of the Eastern Palace has been ordered to inspect the six Shangs and the female officials of all ranks in the Shangshi Bureau. Why don't you step forward and salute?!"

By order? !

Inspection! ?

Sun Qian frowned.

Could it be that she went to see the Queen today, and when the Queen woke up, she used her supernatural powers and sweet words to coax the Queen into giving her the power of supervision?

"By order? By whose order? Have you deceived the Queen?"

Guo Shangshi, who was beside Sun Qian, blurted out.

An Er looked at her coldly: "How dare you! In the Daming Palace, there are still people who dare to question the authenticity of the imperial edict! They are really crazy and don't even want to live!"

Imperial edict! ?

Sun Qian and Guo Shangshi were horrified!

"Impossible! His Majesty never cares about the affairs of the Six Shangs! Even when Prime Minister Dai encountered our troubles, he turned a blind eye!" Shangshi Guo continued to make a fuss.

Wang Xifeng became impatient, and with her left hand she pushed away An'er who was blocking her way, and with her right hand she reached to her waist and took off the whip with a shake of her hand: "I am a concubine following the emperor's orders, but I didn't expect that the Imperial Food Bureau was openly questioning me, but in fact it was disobeying the emperor's orders.

"I have the same personality as your Wan Shangshi, an impatient person.

"I won't waste any more time talking to you. I just want to ask: who collected the lunch menus for the palaces today, who wrote the menu for the standard meal, and who made the final decision on the standard meal for me, the Concubine Liang. Three of you, stand up."

Everyone looked at Mr. Guo.

Unexpectedly, Guo Shangshi's eyes rolled and he said, "To answer Liang Di's question, the Shangyi Bureau smashed our house this morning and we couldn't find the lunch menu. That's why we didn't know you were also having dinner in the palace.

"The standard menu was decided by Wan Shangshi earlier, and we are just following the rules. However, since we don't have your menu, we won't prepare lunch for you.

"It was Eunuch Sun who spoke for you and brought our food to you. I'm sure your maid has already reported this to you.

"I, the humble official, Shangshi Guo, have met Liangdi. Everything I said is true. I dare not lie!"

Wang Xifeng sneered: "Since Shangshi Wan's leg is broken, you will be the head of the Shangshi Bureau.

“According to what you said, no one can take responsibility for the mistakes of the Shangshi Bureau.

"Do you think it's fair?"
