Tian's little cook

Chapter 1186 Questioning
Trying his best to suppress the excitement in his heart, Zhang Linghan said calmly: "This character should be written very early. I saw it by chance when I was traveling somewhere before."

He took another careful look at the jade pendant before returning it to Lin Zhimo, seemingly unintentionally saying, "The surname 'Shen' is rare, but there are quite a lot of people with the surname Shen in Yunze City, right?"

"Actually, very few." Lin Zhimo took the jade pendant, lowered his head to read the words on it according to the Shen characters, and replied casually: "I knew my mother had this surname, because she also came from another place."

The answer was getting closer and closer to Zhang Linghan's guess, and his voice was a little excited.

It's just that Lin Zhimo focused on looking at Yupei and didn't hear it.

"Zhimo, where is your mother from?"

"I don't know about this." Lin Zhimo raised his head and shook his head: "Mother never told me, and I never asked."

Until Lin Zhimo left for a while, Zhang Linghan's heart was still beating fast, obviously he couldn't bear the news for a while.

He stood by the desk, clenched his palms into fists, and murmured softly, "Master, I finally found it."

Halfway through the talk, he remembered that Lin Zhimo's mother had passed away, and most of the excitement in his heart dissipated.
-
When the dinner was delivered to Qianqing Palace, an eunuch from Zhengde Palace came in to deliver the message.

"I would like to report to the empress, the emperor said that he still has some political affairs to deal with, so he can't have dinner with you, so you don't have to wait for him."

Lin Zhimo guessed that there should be something urgent to deal with, "Understood, you tell the emperor to let him eat on time."

The little eunuch agreed, and then returned to Zhengde Hall.

Xiao Guangxin, who was usually guarding outside the palace gate, was not there. He was thinking whether to go in and tell the emperor what the empress had said. An eunuch stopped him and whispered: "Don't go in now, the emperor must be angry."

The little eunuch then gave up the idea of ​​passing on the message and stood upright.

In the main hall, a eunuch from the Royal Tea House was kneeling tremblingly, his face pale.

He regretted it to death now, he really wanted to smack his broken mouth to death, he just heard some rumors, why did he tell others.

"You were the one who said the rumors between the Queen and Imperial Physician Zhang?" Huangfu Chu said in a deep voice.

He was already terribly afraid, but when he heard Huangfu Chu's voice, he was so nervous that he couldn't speak a word.

"Xie Wu, the emperor asked you something!" Xiao Guangxin who was on the side shouted at him.

Xie Wu trembled, and finally found some consciousness, "It's not that the slave is spreading rumors, the slave is just... just listening to what other people say, the emperor spares his life, the emperor spares his life"

"Who told you?" Xiao Guangxin interrogated: "Many people say they heard it from you."

"The servant heard it from a maid in the Palace of Compassion and Ning." Xie Wu quickly explained: "She, she came to the Royal Teahouse to get tea. The servant and her are fellow villagers and have a good relationship on weekdays. thing."

"The slave is wrong, the slave is wrong" Xie Wu slapped his lips as he said, hoping to spare his life.

According to the people from the Compassion Ning Palace, Huangfu Chu's eyes shrank slightly.

I don't know if this is a signal from the queen mother, or is it really the palace lady's mouth?

"Xie Wu, you said more than that." Xiao Guangxin scolded: "What else did you say, you admit it yourself, do you still have to torture you for saying it?"

Xie Wu was scared out of his wits, so he dared not hide it anymore, "Slave. I did see you. I met the empress and went to Doctor Zhang, and then closed the door to talk. I have met several times."
