Chapter 138 Gossip
After chatting with the vassals, Qi Zijia sat on the chair and closed his eyes to rest his mind. He still had work at night, even if it was pretending, he had to go on time.
On the vassal side, he has arranged for the other party to develop an alternative medicine powder for him, a medicine powder that can control the situation by them.
But Qi Zijia closed his eyes, but his heart couldn't calm down, he was so messed up that he couldn't figure out what was going on.
If you look at Lin Mei's behavior, it must not be his real mother. There is no such kind of real mother who loves her nephew but not her son.
But Lin Mei's reason for exchanging him with Lin Tianbao is unknown. According to the living conditions of the Lin family and the Qi family, it is clear that Lin Tianbao's situation is worse.If Lin Mei didn't take care of her, it would have been a bad day.
And there is another point, whose child is he? Since it is not Lin Mei's son, it should be Lin Song's youngest son.But Lin Song is a small person, his child is not worth exchanging at all, and looking at the way Lin Song treats Lin Tianbao, it doesn't look like his own.
The treatment of Lin Tianbao and his two elder brothers is quite different.
It can be seen from this that there may be other secrets behind Qi Zijia's identity.If one wanted to know the reason of everything, one had to know who Qi Zijia's biological parents were.
It's just that since the Lin family was arrested, no one has seen them again, and even the entrusted people from Qibei went in to inquire, but there was no result.There were rumors that the Lin family had been killed a long time ago, but the Lin family was just a buffoon, and there was no need to execute them secretly.
The more Qi Zijia thought about it, the more confused he became, so he simply stopped thinking about it and rested for a while, and it was already four o'clock in the afternoon.
As the second cook, Bai Lin didn't need to arrive early, he stepped on the order to the back kitchen, and the handyman had already prepared all the ingredients that he ordered today.
Although today's Bai Lin is the second chef, he is no doubt like the chef. After preparing the menu according to today's menu, except for the dishes of the masters who will not be changed for the time being, the other people's meals will be fried first.Stir-fry until it is half-cooked, and then put it in the incubator. The guards in the palace have already started to replace the dinner.
"Second Chef Bai, dinner is ready." A small worker asked Qi Zijia to go out for dinner. Normally, Bai Lin didn't attract much attention, but today he became the chef, and was unexpectedly summoned by nobles. It seemed that he was about to skyrocket. , Naturally someone flattered them.
Qi Zijia didn't say anything, just nodded and went out to eat.
He has not eaten since he set off last night, and he is indeed a little hungry.
There is a restaurant in the palace for the staff to eat. All the meals are optional, including the few dishes that Qi Zijia just cooked.Qi Zijia carried the plate over and realized that all the dishes he had cooked had been filled, and he frowned immediately.
Did he fry too much?
The dishes I made by myself were gone, so I had to settle for the next best thing and change a few meat dishes.Anyway, he was responsible for the poisoning, so the meals should be fine now.
Qi Zijia thought about it happily.
I chose two pieces of fish in tomato sauce, a portion of baked beans, and a plate of barbecue. I also brought a staple food and sat down in a remote corner.
This is Bai Lin's usual appearance, and it can also conceal Qi Zijia's identity.
After tasting the dishes, the taste was a bit sweet but not bad, and I forced myself to eat them all with the steamed pancake sandwiched between the barbecue meat.In extraordinary times, it is very important to maintain your physical strength.
Halfway through the meal, several palace guards dressed up and sat at the table in front of him.At first Qi Zijia didn't care, but what these people said caught his attention.
Qi Zijia slowed down his eating speed, almost eating beans one by one slowly. After the people at the table in front left, Qi Zijia also sorted out some information.
These guards mentioned a place and complained that the number of guards in this courtyard had increased several times recently, and they were exhausted every day.I was scolded by my boss for being lazy today, and I don't know who is inside.
According to the directions mentioned by several people, Qi Zijia asked the system to help mark it, and finally found that this small courtyard was the place he passed by just now.Nothing was found at that time, but now Qi Zijia suspects that the place where the sudden increase of guards is where Lan Qiao is being held.
"Second Chef Bai, why haven't you finished eating, the food is about to be served over there!"
Qi Zijia nodded, wiped his mouth calmly, got up and went straight to the back kitchen.Fortunately, the dishes are prepared, and they are vegetarian dishes, so they will be done soon.
Although the manager made a few complaints, but I don't know if it was because Qi Zijia was summoned by the nobleman, and it wasn't too much.
After finishing the cooking, I can't leave for the time being. I have to wait for the nobles in the palace to finish their meals to see if there is anything to add. Basically, I can't leave until after eight o'clock in the evening.
At eight o'clock, they will be arranged to leave, only now.
Qi Zijia glanced at the time, it was just a few minutes after six o'clock, and there was still more than an hour to go.
After signaling for his convenience, Qi Zijia slipped out quietly.With the weapon of the system, he can effectively avoid the people he meets, but the system doesn't tell him where Lan Qiao is, and just says that his points are not enough for him to operate.
After going around and around, I finally reached the small door that I entered once again today.This small gate is actually an important barrier separating the front and back of the palace.Although there are not guards guarding the main entrance, there are people watching.
Sure enough, as soon as he got here, Qi Zijia was stopped by someone.
"What are you doing?" The person who was looking at the small gate stared at Qi Zijia.
Fortunately, Qi Zijia had already made preparations, and raised the food box in his hand, "Send some food to the nobleman."
The other party looked at him dubiously, and reached out to open the food box in Qi Zijia's hand, but Qi Zijia dodged it.
"The nobleman ordered it, how can you read it!"
"Oh, what nobleman? Even if the nobleman ordered it, why did you come to deliver it? I see you kid..." The man curled his mouth. "It's a spy with evil intentions!"
Qi Zijia swears secretly, and spies, the spies are all in the palace!
The two were in a stalemate, and another person came over, who was guarding the place this morning, and saw Qi Zijia chatting with the guard in a low voice.
Qi Zijia was thinking about what to say, when the two exchanged a few words, they let it go.
After passing by, Qi Zijia finally figured it out, maybe the later guard was one of Mr. Bai's arrangements.
Sure enough, the palace was infiltrated inside and out, and he didn't know where the prince was now, did he know that the throne he was about to enthroned was so unstable, and did he know Mr. Bai's real identity.
Forget it, don't think so much.It doesn't matter if the prince dies or not, if Mr. Bai doesn't kill him, he wants to kill him himself!It is still important to find Lan Qiao first.
Qi Zijia found the small courtyard according to the place marked before, and was taken aback when he went around the back.
Isn't this the same as when he and Lan Qiao entered the palace before, they saw the acacia flower poking out of the small courtyard outside the courtyard.
Sure enough, there are really many guards around here.
Qi Zijia didn't dare to be alarmed, and turned around in a hurry.Lan Qiao can't be contacted now, so he can only share the location here with other people in the small group and explain the situation.
The others were taken aback.
Sister-in-law is so fierce!
Now that he found the place, let alone, he actually went to find it himself?
Others persuaded Qi Zijia to go back quickly, Qi Zijia had no choice but to go back home.But when he turned around, he suddenly remembered the food box in his hand, his eyes lit up, he went around to the main entrance, settled down and walked over with big strides.
"Stop!" The stern voice really made Qi Zijia tremble, this guy has such a loud voice.He raised his head and looked at the person standing in front of him, "What are you doing?"
Qi Zijia brought up the food box in a panic, "It's a food delivery."
"There is a special person who delivers food, what do you do?"
"I work in the front kitchen, and I was ordered to bring a separate meal." Qi Zijia pretended to be puzzled, "Didn't this nobleman ask for it? But... it's here."
"No, no! Hurry up and go!"
These few people forcefully pushed Qi Zijia far away, the action was so brutal that almost knocked over the food box, Qi Zijia was so angry that he almost didn't punch in.
"Okay, I'll go!" Qi Zijia said angrily, "The nobleman asked later, don't say I didn't come to see you off!"
Qi Zijia turned his head and left.
"Hey, wait!" The guard behind hurriedly called to stop him.They couldn't be sure whether the people inside had ordered something or not.What's more, they were ordered to guard this place, but they didn't say they could interfere with the people inside.They haven't even seen who is inside, they are just people outside the yard.
Qi Zijia frowned and turned his head, looking over impatiently.
"Leave the food box, we will send it in."
"That won't work, I have to send it in by myself, what if the nobleman has anything to say!" Qi Zijia was not willing to do it.
"Stop talking nonsense!"
The guard raised his fist, Qi Zijia dodged in fright, "Then I have to wait here, if you have something to say, I can take it back."
The guard took the food box noncommittally, turned around and sent it in.
Naturally, there were no tables or chairs at the door, so Qi Zijia sat under the tree and waited.Who knows how long this meal will take.
Fortunately, he secretly put away a food box in the palace before, but the food in it is not the vegetarian dish fried today, but some stewed vegetables that he stored in the system space.If the person inside was Lan Qiao, he would definitely be able to taste it after a while, and there was a mark on the plate that only they could recognize. This was what Ning Zi had told him when he brought him here. Those with this mark People can be trusted.If it wasn't for Lan Qiao...
Sitting under the tree, Qi Zijia was thinking wildly, the ground around here was covered with acacia flowers that had fallen on the ground, not to mention the ground was pink, but also filled with a pleasant fragrance.
Seeing that the sky was getting darker and darker, Qi Zijia calculated that it was almost seven o'clock.The gate of the palace will be closed at eight o'clock, and if he doesn't go out, something will happen.
Qi Zijia got up anxiously, "Brother guard, can you help me..."
Just as he was talking, someone came out from inside with a food box in his hand, "Here you are."
Qi Zijia took the food box, "Did your lord say anything?"
"No, no, hurry up!"
Qi Zijia was completely disappointed, and left with an empty food box.
It seems that the person inside is not Lan Qiao, otherwise even if he is afraid of being exposed, a few words will be spread.
He rushed back to the kitchen before eight o'clock, and the handyman at Sucai's side saw his expression anxious, "Second chef, where did you go?"
"Is there a noble person to make up for the food?"
"That's not true." The handyman shook his head resentfully, "You know, the nobles seldom refill the dishes, especially recently..."
"Why?" Qi Zijia pretended not to care and asked casually, but his ears perked up.
"Recently, the new His Majesty is about to ascend the throne, and the staff in the palace has changed a lot. I heard that the original chefs are looking for a way through their connections. I'm afraid they will fall out of favor after the new His Majesty ascends the throne." The handyman shook his head. "Our chef said he had diarrhea today, but he actually went to..."
