Chapter 147 Ji Jinchu's death has another hidden meaning
A waning moon climbed silently into the night sky, overlooking the earth coldly and coldly from the highest place.
"Miss, it's cold at night, please come in early!"
Caixing walked towards the courtyard with a hot handkerchief in his hand. At that time, Bai Yanqing still seemed to have lost her soul, sitting blankly in the courtyard, as if she hadn't moved for a long time...
Yuan Li, who was standing not far away, looked at the girl in the courtyard and sighed slightly. Since Yun Qi left at noon, Bai Yanqing has been sitting like this, lost in thought. Despite Yuan Li's coaxing for a long time, she
None have been moved.
Caixing gently placed the hot handkerchief on the back of Bai Yanqing's hand and wiped her hands carefully. The slightly hot handkerchief successfully brought Bai Yanqing back from her thoughts!
Bai Yanqing quickly withdrew her hands, stared at them, and yelled "Hot!"
Caixing sighed helplessly and pulled Bai Yanqing's hand back: "It's not that the handkerchief is too hot, it's that the lady's hand is too cold!"
Who can sit motionless in this autumn wind for half a day without getting cold hands and feet?
Cai Xing waved to Yuan Li who was not far away, and Yuan Li quickly stepped forward. The two of them helped Bai Yanqing up, and then stepped on the clear light on the ground to help Bai Yanqing into the house.
In the room, the bright candlelight was slightly dazzling. Bai Yanqing felt a little uncomfortable and raised her hand to cover it. After she got used to it, she lowered her hand.
"What did His Highness say to the young lady today? Why...after His Highness left, the young lady became like this?"
Cai Xing's words seemed to be asking Yuan Li, but in fact, they were also asking Bai Yanqing. After all, Yuan Li was not present when Yun Qi spoke to Bai Yanqing.
Yuan Li shrugged and shook his head, indicating that he didn't know clearly.
Bai Yanqing also remained silent, as if she didn't want to say anything.
Caixing sighed helplessly, then went to the kitchen and brought some food over.
Hot rice, crispy stir-fried side dishes, and the ginseng chicken soup that Caixing had been cooking for most of the day. It’s advisable to take supplements in autumn, as Dr. Hua said!
Bai Yanqing glanced at it. The food in front of her was all delicious and delicious, but she was not interested and looked like she had no appetite!
"Miss, this slave has been boiling this chicken soup for several hours. You should at least take a few sips, otherwise... this slave will be very hurt!"
Cai Xing looked at Bai Yanqing eagerly, his bright eyes full of sorrow and grievance.
"Then...have some soup!"
Bai Yanqing looked at Cai Xing's pitiful look, and she still couldn't bear it. She knew very well that every meal Cai Xing cooked was very attentive, all to take care of her own appetite. She really couldn't bear it.
It touched Cai Xing’s mind!
"Okay! I'll serve you some soup right now!"
Cai Xing happily picked up a white porcelain bowl, and then opened the lid of the casserole with chicken soup. A delicious smell instantly filled the whole room!
Cai Xing carefully skimmed off a layer of oil on top of the chicken soup, then poured the milky white soup underneath into a bowl. Finally, he tore off a chicken leg and put it into the bowl!
Looking at the white and tender chicken legs in the bowl, Bai Yanqing smiled helplessly. She clearly said she wanted to take a few sips of the soup. Was Cai Xing afraid that she would be hungry?
"I stole this old hen from Old Man Hua! Miss, eat it quickly, otherwise, he will come to look for the chicken's bones tomorrow! We'd better destroy the body as soon as possible!"
Bai Yanqing looked at Bai Yanqing with amusement, waiting for her to praise her after taking a bite!
"You two, come sit down and eat together!"
With sharp eyes, Bai Yanqing caught a glimpse of Yuan Li swallowing saliva. She felt it was funny and quickly waved to them to come over and eat together!
Hearing this, Yuan Li immediately sat down, and then looked at Cai Xing eagerly. Cai Xing was angry and funny, but he still raised his hand and filled a bowl for Yuan Li!
Even though it has been stewed for so long, this chicken is not bad at all! It is so tender and fragrant, it falls right off the bone when you take a bite, and you don’t even have to work hard to chew it!
"Miss, how are you doing?"
Cai Xing is looking forward to getting praise from Bai Yanqing!
Bai Yanqing took a bite of the chicken, which was soft and tender, and drank a sip of the chicken soup, which was delicious and delicious. Because Caixing skimmed off the oil on the chicken soup, the chicken soup did not taste greasy at all! Instead, it was refreshing.
It's delicious and leaves a fragrance on your lips and teeth! The chicken soup is mixed with a hint of ginseng flavor, and it's not bitter at all! It whets Bai Yanqing's appetite!
"Well, it tastes delicious!"
Bai Yanqing replied with a smile, and then asked Cai Xing to serve him another bowl of chicken soup!
Bai Yanqing is willing to drink one more bowl of chicken soup, which is Bai Yanqing's highest praise for Cai Xing's cooking skills!
"You do know how to eat!"
When Cai Xing saw Yuan Jin, she filled a bowl of chicken soup, then poured the fragrant and soft rice into the chicken soup, mixed it with the chicken soup, and ate two bowls of rice in a row! She couldn't help but laugh! Although Cai Xing was right
Yuan Li was a little dissatisfied with her "food grabbing" move, but she was still happy when she saw that the food she had worked so hard to make could receive such love from others!
…
It was late at night, but Bai Yanqing didn't feel sleepy at all. She lay flat on the bed, tilted her head, staring at the few rays of moonlight that spilled into the room through the cracks in the door, but her thoughts became alive! During the day, Yun Qi also
What she said is still vivid in my ears!
Bai Yanqing was shocked by what she heard. What was even more shocking was that someone dared to poison the late Queen!
According to Yunqi, his mother, the late Queen An, did not die of a serious illness, but... was poisoned! The people who persecuted her were because they put chronic poisons into her daily diet! These poisons
, there is no abnormality that can be seen in ordinary people, and even the imperial doctor cannot diagnose it!
Those poisons, accumulated over time, were spread in Queen An's daily diet in a way that no one else could detect! And the reason why Queen An immediately recruited Bai Yanqing's mother into the palace after she became seriously ill was...
It also has a purpose! For one thing,
It's a kind of entrustment. I hope that after she passes away, the Bai family and the Ji family can take care of her two sons for their own sake! Secondly, she secretly informs Ji Jinchu about what she has noticed, so that she can have a good future.
Find an opportunity to plead your grievance!
But... Queen An probably didn't expect that Ji Jinchu would die first before she could plead her grievances! In vain, she suffered the poisonous hands of the old lady of the Bai family!
However, what kept Bai Yanqing awake at night was not only the death of Queen An, but also the death of her mother, Ji Jinchu! Yun Qi told Bai Yanqing today that he had found out that there was another hidden reason behind Ji Jinchu's death! I'm afraid it was...
We can’t escape the relationship with people in the same palace!
In Bai Yanqing's memory, it was the fire that took away the woman who would smile at her, hold her in her arms, and call her "Qing'er" tenderly...
Time passed so long that... Bai Yanqing could no longer remember what the woman who held her in his arms looked like!
If the truth of the matter is really as Yun Qi said, and Ji Jinchu's death is related to a certain big shot in the palace, then... it is very possible that the fire was not set by the Bai family's old lady Ren!
Thinking of this, Bai Yanqing sat up suddenly in shock! If the fire was not set by Mrs. Ren of the Bai family, it proves that there is someone from the palace hiding in the Bai Mansion! That person must have known about it before Queen An died.
, summoned Ji Jinchu, what did he say to her, that’s why he wanted to kill her and silence her!
Thinking of this, Bai Yanqing lost all sleepiness!
Now, it's not just the Yunqi brothers' journey of revenge! Bai Yanqing is also eager to find out what happened back then!
…
The next morning, Bai Yanqing walked out of the room wiltingly with dark circles under her eyes!
"Miss? What's wrong? Didn't you sleep well last night?"
Cai Xing was choosing vegetables in the yard. When she heard the door open, she looked up and saw Bai Yanqing going out with dark circles under her eyes! She immediately dropped the vegetables in her hand and ran over!
Bai Yanqing waved her hand, a little annoyed.
Seeing this, Cai Xing hurriedly ran to bring warm water for Bai Yanqing to wash up.
"Caixing, the day after tomorrow is my birthday, right?"
Bai Yanqing asked Cai Xing while wiping her hands.
Caixing nodded.
"I want... to go back to the White House..."
Bai Yanqing said with some dismay that she could not wait to fly back to the Bai family right now! When she thought that the person behind the scenes might be hiding in the Bai Mansion, Bai Yanqing couldn't help but feel excited!
"But... didn't His Highness say... we can't go back to the White House now?"
Caixing said with a puzzled look on his face.
Bai Yanqing sighed and said nothing. Didn't she know what Caixing said? But she desperately wanted to find out the truth! She desperately wanted to know why her mother died!
"Collect the stars!"
A familiar male voice sounded, surprising Bai Yanqing.
"Ling Yu! You know, you came to see Cai Xing. But I don't know, I thought you came to scare us on purpose!"
Bai Yanqing frowned and replied with some displeasure.
Ling Yu's temperament seems to be prudent, but every time he meets Cai Xing, he loses a bit of his elegance.
Hearing Bai Yanqing's words, Lingyu stretched out his fingers and scratched the tip of his nose, with a slight embarrassment on his face.
"Did you sneak out again? Be careful to be seen by Old Man Hua! Then, he will start nagging me again! He said that I delayed you in making the medicine! I don't know whether it was you who delayed my work or me.
Delaying your preparation of medicine!"
Caixing muttered dissatisfied, then picked up the basin of water in his hand and poured it towards the door of the courtyard. Fortunately, Lingyu jumped away quickly, otherwise, he would have been splashed with water!
"I came here to bring you food, and you still don't want to see me!"
Ling Yu said with some frustration, and then he carefully took out a handkerchief wrapped in something from his arms!
On the square veil, there were several exquisite snacks lying on it.
"Hey, is this for Cai Xing? Yuan Li and I are gone?"
Bai Yanqing teased, with a smile on her face.
Ling Yu's thoughts are probably only those of Cai Xing, a dumbass, who can't tell!
Cai Xing put down the copper basin in his hand, wiped his hands on his clothes, and then ran forward and snatched the snack from Ling Yu's hand!
"Miss, don't talk to him! You eat!"
Cai Xing raised the snacks to Bai Yanqing's eyes, not forgetting to give Ling Yu a sideways look.
Bai Yanqing shook her head, not very interested in these sweet snacks.
Cai Xing picked up a piece of snack, put it in his mouth, and chewed it carefully. It was soft and glutinous, with soft boiled red beans mixed in the middle!
"It's red bean cake!"
Cai Xing ate a piece and realized that the way to make this red bean cake was different from the common way to make red bean cake!
"The red bean cake we usually make is made by steaming red beans, shelling them, and pressing them into grinding tools! This red bean cake is made in a strange way. It involves boiling red beans, adding oil and sugar, and stirring them into a filling.
Stuffed into glutinous rice cakes! In this way, it has the fragrance of glutinous rice and the sweetness of red beans, but it has a unique taste!"
For some reason, while Cai Xing was eating, he felt like he had seen it all before!
When on earth did you eat this kind of red bean cake?
Cai Xing squinted his eyes while eating, thinking seriously in his mind!
"You are the best at eating!"
At this moment, the young man's eyes were shining with brilliance. Those bright eyes seemed to be unable to accommodate all things in the world, but could only accommodate the girl in front of him, holding red bean cake in her hand and eating happily!
"Ling Yu, have you ever brought me this red bean cake before? Why do I feel that the taste is so familiar!"
Cai Xing thought about it for a long time, but couldn't remember when he had eaten this red bean cake.
"Yes, I took it with me."
Ling Yu nodded, the smile in his eyes was like the red bean cake in Cai Xing's hand, very sweet!
