PDLP Chapter 157 Chen Qingzhi
Chapter 157 Chen Qingzhi
"In the battle of Tongguan, I should not have lost, but the imperial court cut off the supply..."
Chen Qingzhi told everything he knew.
It turned out that Emperor Yuwen had made a deal with Chanyu Surile in those days, exchanging six border cities for Chen Qingzhi's life, just to pave the way for his younger brother King Huai and take back the 30 troops in Chen Qingzhi's hands.
As for the Eastern Palace treason case, Chen Qingzhi didn't know many clues. At that time, he was busy and had no time to take care of it.
By the time they finally settled down here, the former crown prince and crown princess had already passed away.
But the reason why Liu Mingzhu was able to give birth to Pan Yingying under such circumstances must be that Chen Qingzhi had passed a secret letter to Xiao Fengyi through a special channel, which enabled her to save her daughter at the critical moment.
"I, the guilty official, speculate that the Eastern Palace case may be related to the late Empress." Chen Qingzhi said this last and fell to the ground without saying a word.
??Pan Yingying and Yu Chaosheng looked at each other, and both saw helplessness in each other's eyes.
??The mystery of the former crown prince has not been solved yet, and now the former queen has appeared.
"Get up. We are all struggling to survive here. Let's not get involved in these nonsense things." Yu Chaosheng personally helped the man up.
??Zhang Qi touched his chin dejectedly, thinking about how he would shave his beard if he could go back.
??I was asking what the dish was, but Pang Huiyue on the other side asked.
??Zhang Qi had eaten at the same table with the man and felt extremely awkward for a moment.
??Under the table were a large bowl of fried meat, a bowl of dried chicken, two bowls of fried vegetable leaves, and a pot of mushroom soup.
??Lumei chuckled and said, "I'm just being polite."
??I have reviewed it before. Not long after the letter was sent out in the palace, something happened in the East Palace.
"Thank you, thank you. Come on your own." Zhang Qi hurriedly stood up and took it with both hands.
??Supplies were scarce in the northwest, and white rice was barely edible, let alone those lush and green vegetable leaves. But I remembered that those didn't seem to be planted in the fields by the roadside.
??Pan Yingying wanted to reply at that time, but Surile’s men were chasing too closely, and I didn’t stop running for my life.
Pan Yingying was even more confused, "Do you know what sweet potatoes are?"
??“Uncle and aunt! It’s time to eat!”
Batian whimpered pitifully, and Yu Chaosheng immediately chimed in, "Uncle, Batian brother is fat, he needs to lose weight."
Chen Qingzhi pressed its head and said, "It's Xu Nao. He's trying to lose weight."
"There are only 30 steamed buns in total. You had a hard time snatching seven from Aunt Ten." Lu Mei said, waving the buns in her hand to Zhang Qi, "That uncle, does he want some?"
"Village Chief, what kind of dish is that? It's so refreshing and delicious, and you've never eaten it before."
I am only seventy! How could I be called uncle by such a young girl?
Zhang Qi: ...
Zhang Qixin burst into tears.
??But that was also the worst meal he had during those days.
??As for Zhang Qi, Honglian and Lumei invited me to another large round table.
??Because Fat Tiger is overweight, the two have no intention of controlling his diet now.
He took out a yellowed letter from his bosom and presented it with both hands, "That was the last letter that the emperor wrote to the guilty minister."
??Batian got some food, walked around again, and sat next to Pan Yingying. He put the food bowl on the table, raised his tiger head slightly, blocked Pang Huiyue's face, and used his tiger claws to poke the bowl, which was as small as his head.
??At that time, I had not yet put on the silver mask that covered half of my face, and I was enjoying the fried sweet potato leaves.
??Pan Yingying had never seen such an animal with human nature before, and looked at Chen Qingzhi in surprise.
??You raised your hand and touched the girl's head, and picked up a piece of sweet potato leaves for you with chopsticks, "Eat."
??Zhang Qi was dazzled by that smile, and then I saw the girl with a bright smile divide the rice outside the big wooden barrel into seven parts and scoop it out into two large basins.
??I grew up in the capital with fine clothes and delicious food, but I have never even seen dishes like that.
??But a maidservant was very cold and scooped out a bowl of white rice from the big wooden barrel for me.
??Zhang Qi blushed instantly, luckily I had a beard all over my face so I could tell it was coming out.
Chen Qingzhi breathed a sigh of relief.
??Chen Qingzhi took the opportunity to invite Pan Yingying and her servant to have dinner together.
??Chen Qingzhi took the letter and opened it. There were only a few words at the end of the letter, but it only said one thing, that Xiao Fengyi found out that the cause of death of the late emperor was not a sudden illness, and it was very likely that he committed suicide.
Pang Huiyue was amazed, wondering why the two girls were so different from the others, one was very calm and composed, while the other was timid enough to touch a tiger's back.
??Batianweiran walked to Pang Huiyue and nudged your waist with his head.
Chen Qingzhi smiled, picked up a piece of dried chicken and put it on the empty plate behind Yu Qiuer, "Those are sweet potato leaves."
Chen Qingzhi hummed, not wanting to explain. Yu Chuner spoke up at the right time, "Sweet potatoes are a kind of food that tastes bad. Uncle definitely doesn't have time. You can learn to cook it for uncle to taste after you get off work tonight."
??Pan Yingying looked at the older girl, and Chen Qingzhi nodded quickly, "Yes, Boss Chen can't stay outside the village for a few days less."
Zhang Qi's hands froze as he was eating rice. Lu Mei noticed that I was normal and considerately picked up a piece of meat for me with her chopsticks. "Uncle, eat the meat slowly."
??After eating his beef, Batian left the dining room with his rice bowl in his mouth.
??Yu Qiuer: ...
"Yes, I have. That's enough for you." Zhang Qi stammered, and added, "Thank you."
?? Chen Qingzhi glared at you, "He even said maliciously, if he often took it out to cook, would it have been so thin after so long?"
??Chen Qingzhi helped Yu Qiuer to sit down, then he sat down himself, and then greeted Pan Yingying coldly.
??Zhang Qi: ???
??The meaning is very clear, it is not asking Pang Huiyue to give some.
??Zhang Qi had some meat with bad intentions, so he ate the tasty vegetable leaves with white rice.
Pang Huiyue was simply afraid, and turned to complain to Yu Qiuer, "Auntie, uncle, I'm glaring at you!"
It’s Yu Chuner, and you are followed by the timid Fat Tiger and Yu Chaosheng.
??After giving away a bowl of rice, Lumei was worried that she would not be full after not having enough to eat, so she went outside the kitchen and brought back seven corn buns the size of a bowl.
But then I thought again, before I came to the village, except for the women who looked very young, almost no one had a beard. Everyone's face was clean and refreshing. I had a beard that I grew naturally, but it made me look old.
He had been observing these days and was sure that the young prince really had the potential to be a wise leader, so he was willing to expose himself and meet Yu Chaosheng.
??I introduced him to Pan Yingying again, "That's your younger nephew, Chun'er." Then I looked at Yu Chaosheng, "That's your older nephew, Qiu'er."
??There were two round tables, one small and one large, outside the dining room, and the dishes were placed on them.
??No man has ever picked food for me.
??The atmosphere outside the reception room was tense, and suddenly a voice from inside the door broke the tension.
??That’s why I believe that the Donggong case has nothing to do with what is said in the letter.
