Lu Yunluo carefully recalled the people she had met before. It seemed that no one except Bei Ming liked such attire. It seemed that she had never seen this person before, or perhaps when he met Eunuch Cheng

, he was dressed that way on purpose to prevent Eunuch Cheng from seeing his appearance.

"Then do you still remember how he told you?"

"He showed me your portrait and asked me to help you if I see you in the palace!"

Although a long time passed, Eunuch Cheng remembered this very clearly, mainly because the man wanted to give him 20,000 taels of silver for this!

Twenty thousand taels! He has never seen how much silver twenty thousand taels is in his life!

With this money, even if he no longer works in the palace, he will be able to have food and clothing for the rest of his life!

But the real reason that made him agree was not the huge sum of money, but that he had already met the empress in the portrait at that time. After getting along with her several times, he felt that he was quite close to the empress in the portrait.

Although at that time he had already guessed that the empress was not a palace maid, he also guessed that the identity of the empress was definitely not simple.

But he also knows that if he wants to survive in this palace, he must ask less!

Fortunately, he suppressed his curiosity at that time, otherwise if he had known the true identity of the empress at that time, I am afraid that he would not have dared to be an enemy of the Queen Mother!

Of course, what really made him decide to help his wife was her excellent cooking skills!

It was because of his empress that he realized that there were so many ways to cook!

Those unpalatable ingredients can become so delicious after being cooked in a different way!

Speaking of which, he still misses the year he spent eating and drinking with his empress!

"Master, why didn't you tell me that that person wanted to give you another twenty thousand taels! If I hadn't refused it for you, you would have almost accepted it!"

Xiao Lizi doesn’t know why the master likes to talk half and hide half!

Since the empress wants to investigate this person, she must not let go of any details!

Eunuch Cheng became angry when he heard this. That was 20,000 taels of silver! The stupid apprentice refused with a clear conscience. He also said to the man that the girl in the portrait was their friend and they should help her.

!

Over the years, he felt heartbroken every time he thought about being denied a huge sum of 20,000 taels by this stupid apprentice!

"How about you tell me?" Eunuch Cheng glared at Xiao Lizi.

Xiao Lizi had no choice but to shut her mouth in embarrassment.

Lu Yunluo was immediately amused, "Okay, no matter who you say, in short, the more detailed the better!"

People who can afford 20,000 taels are definitely not ordinary people.

If you follow this direction, the difficulty will be greatly reduced!

Eunuch Cheng said that he met that person three times in total, and the last time he showed up was on the day Lu Yunluo was sent to Tailing County to control smallpox. Each time, he asked her about her situation in the palace.

Since that day, that person has never appeared again.

Lu Yunluo originally wanted to find a painter to come over and see if he could draw the person's appearance, but because it had been so long, Eunuch Cheng and Xiao Lizi could not remember clearly.

"Your Majesty, it's getting late. How about my servant going to get you some side dishes?"

Seeing that the empress didn't speak for a long time, Xiao Lizi couldn't help but ask.

He is the kitchen manager of Leng Palace, so he can't just watch the empress go hungry!

"I originally wanted to show you my skills, but it seems I can't do it today!"

Lu Yunluo fumbled around in her sleeves for a long time and took out a cooking book on the whole fish feast, "You can study it yourself."

After saying that, Lu Yunluo was about to stand up and leave. After taking just two steps, she turned back and took out a stack of banknotes from her sleeves. "You two, master and apprentice, have worked hard over the years. Xiao Lizi, I will grant you half a month's vacation."

, take your master out for a nice walk."

Eunuch Cheng and Xiao Lizi counted the banknotes and found that they totaled fifty thousand taels!

"Xiao Lizi, did we count correctly just now?"

Eunuch Cheng asked.

"Master, we just counted it three times, and it is indeed fifty thousand taels!"

Xiao Lizi’s voice is rare and steady!
