Chapter 194 Xiao Cui's Care
"Hey! The maidservants are also very pitiful. They eat with those maids and sisters. Although the food is much better than outside, they never talk when they eat, as if they don't say anything. It's almost suffocated to death!" Xiao Cui pouted and said unhappily.
"Cluck! It's really strange that it didn't suffo you to death like this!" Nangong Miyin giggled and said with a coquettish smile. Xiao Cui is good everywhere, but sometimes it's more right. It's more uncomfortable not to let her talk than to let her die.
But eating with these maids of honor is naturally impossible to be the same as at home. These palace maids have been selected from thousands of people all over the country. Many families are in the local area, and they are also famous families. I have learned all kinds of etiquette rules since I was a child, and there are even more rules in the palace. It's the most basic thing to let Xiao Cui eat and live with these people. It's really a little embarrassing for Xiao Cui.
"Goo Goo!" At this moment, a roar of the stomach came out. Nangong Miin blushed when she heard this voice. Although the table was full of dishes just now, Nangong Miin really didn't eat much. This meal really didn't stop.
Later, Shangguan Yunba misunderstood that Nangong Miyin was a fireworks woman. In the end, Shangguan Yunba was still under pressure to owe Nangong Miyin, Nangong Miyin still didn't want to face Shangguan Yunba for the time being, so she said goodbye immediately. Because of this, Nangong Miyin actually didn't eat much.
Now I walk all the way from the Imperial Palace to my closed moon pavilion. It's strange that I'm not hungry.
"Hee hee! Miss, the emperor, you are not full of the imperial meal? Xiao Cui joked with a smile.
"Dead girl, I know how to watch jokes. Why don't you get me some food? I'm starving to death!" Nangong Miyin laughed and scolded.
"Don't worry, miss! The maidservant is ready! Hey hey!" After saying that, he smiled, took a food box from the cabinet beside him, and then took out some food from it. Three dishes and one soup, although it looks a little cold. However, for Nangong Mithril at this time, it is completely the supreme delicacy.
Nangong Miyin was so hungry that she didn't need to take the bowl and chopsticks to eat it. While eating, he asked, "Xiao Cui, how do you know I'm not full?"
"Ha ha! Miss, the maidservant just accompanied these maids to eat, and they couldn't eat any more. They ate much less than usual, and hurriedly finished eating. So the maidservant thought that the maidservant ate with the maids and ate so hard. It should not be good for the young lady to accompany the emperor for the imperial meal, right? So the maidservant was worried about the young lady, so she asked the maid of honor to ask for another one from the imperial dining room. I don't know if the imperial dining room can cook for people at night. Even if you can, the maidservant and the young lady are not from the palace after all, and the maidservant are afraid that they will be neglected, so they should do it in advance. It's a little cold after such a long time. Is the young lady still talking?
"Ye-huh! Close your mouth!" Nangong Miyin said, and her eyes were a little slightly wet. Except for Nanman, no one was so kind to Nangong Miyin. It's false to say that she is not moved. Nangong Miyan secretly swore at this time that even if Xiao Cui doesn't go with her, before she leaves, she must find a way to ensure that Xiao Cui has no worries about food and clothing in the second half of her life.
"So Xiao Cui, you don't have enough to eat?" Nangong Miyin suddenly asked. She thought that since Xiao Cui didn't have a good dinner because of this kind of thing, she should not have had enough to eat.
"I'm full..." Xiao Cui just wanted to say that she was full. But then there was a burst of "Goo~lu~!" which was not inferior to Nangong Miyin. The voice came. It made Xiao Cui's face turn red.
"Well, you are also hungry for me. Let's eat together!" Nangong Miyin said with a smile.
"But miss, this is not in line!" Xiao Cui hurriedly declined. As a specially trained messenger, Xiao Cui has been working to serve all kinds of people who need to serve temporarily. So I have learned a lot of rules and etiquette of rich and noble families. At this time, he naturally refused to sit with Nangong Miyin.
"Now this is the palace, not somewhere else. Well, there's no need to say any more. Hurry up and bring a pair of bowls and chopsticks. Let's eat together. I'm looking at you as a sister now. Do you look down on me, Nangong Miin? Nangong Miyin said seriously.
Xiao Cui's simple clothes can only be respected. As an ordinary person, she did not realize that Nangong Miyin directly called her full name in front of her for the first time, which was a kind of recognition. It means that since then, Nangong Miyin has completely regarded Xiao Cui as her own person.
While the master and servant were eating, Yu Yaobai also came to Shangguan Yunba's residence, which is the queen's bedroom. Even in the queen's bedroom, Yu Yaobai came in directly without anyone's notice.
"I am! Yu Yaobai, see your majesty!" Yu Yaobai said loudly before she came to the main entrance of the queen's bedroom.
"Ah? Is the high priest here? Hurry up, hurry up!" Shangguan Yunba was not angry with the arrival of Yu Yaobai, but called Yu Yaobai with an excited face.
After Yu Yaobai entered the palace, she found that the queen was sitting in front of Shangguan Yunba with a flushed face. What happened here was self-evident. However, as if Yu Yaobai didn't see anything, she walked to the middle and saluted respectfully and said, "Your Majesty, it's time to take the medicine. This time, Chen deliberately increased the amount of medicine, hoping to extend the time of the attack under God's punishment!"
"Have you tried the medicine?" Shangguan Yunba asked. However, his tone was more worried questions than doubts.
"I have tried it with someone. Although the new drug will be slightly uncomfortable due to its weight, it has no effect on the body!" Yu replied calmly.
"It's so good. Please ask the high priest to give me the new medicine. These times, my divine attacks are getting faster and faster, and I feel more and more uncomfortable!" Shangguan Yunba said anxiously.
Yu Yaobai didn't say much. She took out a small medicine bottle from her chest and took out a little bigger than in the morning, but the color was completely different. The whole body was white, looked like jade, and smelled even more fragrant pills to Shangguan Yunba.
"Priest priest, why is this medicine different from before?" Shangguan Yunba asked strangely. However, he directly raised his hand and took the elixir given by Yu Yaobai. Then he took the water handed over by the queen and sent the elixir into his stomach.
Yu Yaobai smiled and said, "I dare to see the goddess of Nangong in the afternoon, I secretly stole a trace of divine blood from the goddess. The goddess did not find that today's elixir is the divine blood added to the goddess, so the effect of the medicine is much better than before.
"A little theological blood can play such a role?" Shangguan Yunba asked excitedly when he heard the words. He even suddenly appears and puts Nangong Miin here forever.
Yu Yaobai replied respectfully, "Yes, Your Majesty, I just stole a trace of divine blood and refined more than ten elixirs, which is enough for your majesty to use for half a month!"
"Then if..." Shangguan Yunba muttered, with a greedy light in his eyes.
Although the following words were not clearly stated, Yu Yaobai already understood what Shangguan Yunba meant. His look changed greatly, and he hurriedly stopped and said, "Your Majesty can't!"
"What?" Shangguan Yunba was interrupted by Yu Yaobai and said unhappily.
"Your Majesty, divine blood can only cure the symptoms and relieve your majesty's moment of pain. However, the blood of the virgin of the goddess contains all the divine power of the goddess. That is the best recipe for your majesty's elixir of immortality. Please think twice!" Yu Yaobai explained anxiously.
"Hey! In this case, that's the only way!" Shangguan Yunba said disappointed when he heard the words. After all, his ultimate goal is to refine the elixir of immortality, not just other elixirs that can prolong some lives or delay them for another two years. With this kind of balance of pros and cons, even ordinary people will make wise choices.
Then Shangguan Yunba looked at Yu Yaobai with some expectation and said, "Priest priest, can you give me more elixir? If my divine punishment suddenly breaks out and the high priest is not around, isn't it dangerous for me?
"Your Majesty, I'm not selfish, but when do you take this medicine? It's all the result of the calculation according to Tiandao. Even if you give the elixir to your majesty, your majesty doesn't know when you should take the medicine!" Yu Yaobai easily resolved the idea of Shangguan Yunba and wanted to get the elixir in his hand.
"But there is no elixir around me, and I still feel very dangerous. Although the priest is talented today, it is inevitable that there will be a time when I will miss it. Isn't it dangerous for me at that time? I only ask the high priest to give me an elixir for emergency. I can't thank you enough!" Shangguan Yunba asked.
"The mourning family also invites the high priest to have mercy. If the emperor really suffers a sudden disaster, the world will be in chaos!" The queen also said to the side.
"Since the emperor said so to the Empress, I won't say more." Yu Yaobai finished. He poured out another pill and said, "Your Majesty, you can hide this pill close to your body. Don't use this medicine unless you have to. Otherwise, the consequences will be unimaginable!" Yu Yao told him cautiously.
"The high priest can rest assured that I will never use the high priest's elixir unless I have to." Shangguan Yunba vowed to make a promise.
Seeing that the matter had been done, Yu Yaobai immediately opened her fist and said, "Then I won't disturb your majesty and the empress!"
"Auxiliary minister! Take it to the imperial doctors to see if there is anything wrong with this elixir. Seeing that Yu Yaobai left Shangguan Yunba, he handed the elixir to Li Fuchen and ordered in a low voice.
"Your Majesty, is there something wrong with the high priest?" When the queen saw Shangguan Yunba, she actually took the elixir that Yu Yaobai gave to Shangguan Yunba to investigate. I couldn't help asking strangely.
Shangguan Yunba sneered and said, "The high priest is now seeing that the elixir of immortality is about to be completed. I'm afraid he is not satisfied with just being a high priest, right?"
"Does Your Majesty dare to take the elixir of the high priest?" The queen asked in shock when she heard the words.
"Haha! It doesn't matter! At least before the elixir of immortality was refined, the high priest did not dare to take action against me. He left him to refine the elixir for me. The day when the elixir of immortality is completed is the death of Yu Yaobai!" Shanguan Yunba laughed.
Yu Yaobai, who walked out of the palace, also sneered in her heart: "Want to know my elixir formula? Just let those imperial doctors study it!"
In refining medicine, especially poison, Yu Yaobai, who has learned witchcraft, is very confident. Those imperial doctors absolutely can't find any problems. Not only can't find the problem, but also think that this is a peerless elixir that can come back to life and death.
This elixir is naturally true, and my energy effect is abnormal, which almost has the effect of rebirth.
Sure enough, not long after Li Fuchen and Euke Li went out with Yu Yaobai's elixir, he ran back in a panic and shouted, "Your Majesty! Your Majesty"
When Shangguan Yunba heard the words, he was in his heart. Is there something wrong with the elixir? So a face sank and asked, "What? Is there anything wrong with the elixir?
"Wow!" Because he ran too fast, even Li Fuchen's top mysterious spirit, took several breaths before he eased. He explained, "Your Majesty, the doctors have seen it. They all said that there was no problem with this elixir, not even no problem, but it could be said to be the magic elixir of the living dead.
"What?" When Shangguan Yunba heard this, he sat on the dragon chair in surprise. However, after all, he was an emperor of a generation and then asked, "Is this really the case? Have all the doctors checked it clearly?
"Yes! Whether it's Dr. Wang, Dr. Xi, or Dr. Zheng. The best imperial doctors in the Imperial Hospital have been examined. They said that this medicine is not only no problem, but also the best choice in terms of efficacy or other aspects. It can be said to be a rare panacea in the world!" Li Fuchen replied respectfully.
It's a great pity in my heart. Although he can do something on this, he doesn't dare. Everything he has, regardless of money, power and martial arts, is given by Shangguan Yunba. Once Shangguan Yunba has any problems, he will have no hope in his life.
"Did I misunderstand the high priest?" Shangguan Yunba thought so. But then he shook his head again, and Yu Yaobai's attitude towards him was so obvious. Shangguan Yunba is not a fool. How can he not feel it at all?
"It seems that we still need to get the virgin blood of the goddess as soon as possible, so as not to have a long night dream!" Shangguan Yunba muttered to himself. The pressure in my heart is also very great. Even if he is the so-called true dragon emperor, in many cases, he can't completely control his own destiny.
After thinking about it, Shangguan Yunba still asked uneasierly, "Auxiliary minister! Has the high priest done anything unusual recently?
Li Fuchen said, "Your Majesty, I have sent more than a dozen internal guards to monitor the high priest all day. The high priest has not been doing anything special recently, and it is no different from usual!"
"Will the person you sent be found by the high priest?" Shangguan Yunba asked in a low voice.
Li Fuchen smiled, and his voice was sharp and hoarse, which made people's scalp numb when they smell it: "Hey, Your Majesty, what our internal guards practice is the mysterious spirit of the royal secret. Among other things, this hidden ability alone is much better than those famous sects. Even if we are masters at the level of Xuanwang, it is impossible to find us easily. So Your Majesty can rest assured!"
"That's good. Recently, you have sent more people. Be sure to keep a close look at the high priest." Shangguan Yunba said seriously.
"The old slave obeys the order!"
"The high priest! High Priest! I hope you don't do anything to disappoint me!" Shangguan Yunba looked up and said distractedly.
I was speechless all night.
"The emperor is here!" In the morning, the morning glow has just dyed the clouds in the sky. Nangong Miyane heard this voice that made her disgusted.
Although he was helpless, Shangguan Yunba was the emperor after all, so Nangong Miyan still had to go out of the closed moon pavilion to greet His Majesty the emperor politely.
"People's daughter, I have seen His Majesty the Emperor!" Nangong Miyin hugged her fist and asked for peace. She doesn't like the etiquette of squatting, but it's still the same. The way people in the world greet makes Nangong Miin more accustomed to it, so she didn't learn from other maids of honor.
In fact, in ordinary times, the maids of honor have met the emperor, and there are not so many tedious rules. After all, the harem is the place where the emperor lives, not the office. Therefore, when the maids of honor see the emperor, they only need to be blessed and have seen the gift.
"Ha ha! Did the goddess have a good rest last night? Shangguan Yunba asked with a smile.
"Your Majesty cares about you, and all the people are fine!" Nangong Miyin said with a strong smile. Through the naked eyes of Shangguan Yunba, Nangong Miyin already knew what Shangguan Yunba meant. This Shangguan Yunba actually wanted to put himself in the harem.
"I don't know if the goddess can finish the breakfast? I..."
Before Shangguan Yunba finished speaking, Nangong Miyin immediately interrupted, "Thank you for your concern. The people have already eaten!" Thinking of the tedious rules when I followed Guan Yunba to eat the imperial meal last night, with the swords and shadows. Nangong has a chilling feeling.
One time is enough. How can Nangong Miin do it again? So even if I'm hungry, I don't want to eat with this emperor. For Nangong Miin, this is not to enjoy delicious food, but a kind of torture.
His speech was interrupted by Nangong Miyin, and Shangguan Yunba was furious. You should know that as an emperor, basically no one dares to interrupt him, let alone refuse his invitation. Even Yu Yaobai, the high priest in the sky, has never done so.
So I could only force a smile and say, "In this case, I would like to invite the goddess to visit the royal garden with me. I don't know if the goddess can appreciate it?"
Nangong Miyin refused rudely, "Thank you for your majesty's good intentions, but the people are a little tired. I'm afraid I can't accompany your majesty today. Please forgive me!"
"You!" Shangguan Yunba was furious when he heard the words. He knew that Nangong Miin had at least the strength of Zijie. Moreover, Xuanqi is pure, which is much better than the quick-growing Li Fuchen. May I ask, how can this kind of mysterious master be tired?
But Nangong Miyin actually told him that he was tired, such obvious perfunctory words. How can you not let Shangguan Yunba be furious?
