Secret agent crossing: Overbearing prince's favorite concubine

Chapter 162 Poison in the Border Town
Mo Qingli was taken aback when he heard Jun Shecang's name out in one breath. She had guessed that Grandpa Su's background was not simple, but he actually knew Jun Shecang's jade pei. of."

Grandpa Su's hands trembled for a while, and his unfocused eyes rolled unconsciously. He sighed, "I never thought that this old slave could touch the jade pendant of the little master again. Miss Mo, you are from the capital, I don't know How is King Chong? Little old man, I’ve lived here for a long time, so I don’t know anything about it.”

"Prince Chong is very good. Now he has ascended the throne and became the emperor. Grandpa Su used to be in the palace?" Mo Qingli asked.

"I'm enthroned, I'm enthroned, that's good. My old man's past stories are all old sesame seeds and rotten millet. It's meaningless to mention it again. Although I've been blind these days, I can smell Miss Mo dispensing medicine. The little old man has some impressions of some of the medicines, and I don't know if Miss Mo has been poisoned?" Grandpa Su said.

Mo Qingli thought, "To be honest, I am indeed poisoned, and the poison did come from the palace. Grandpa Su, please tell the truth."

Grandpa Su said: "Miss Mo is a chivalrous woman who has helped the little old man and granddaughter a few times. Naturally, I dare not hide anything. It's just related to the old things back then. The old man doesn't want to mention it again. The old slave went to investigate the source of the poison at the time. It is said from the southwestern area that there is a yam shop on the collar slope of Dahuai Mountain in the southwest, it is said that it came from there, but it has been many years, I don’t know if that place is still there?"

Mo Qingli was overjoyed, "Grandpa Su, I actually went south this time because of the poison on my body. I didn't expect to get clues from you. Thank you so much."

Grandpa Su quickly waved his hand, "Girl Mo, little old man, this is a memory from many years ago. The world is changing, and I really don't know if you are still there. If you want to find clues, you can go there, but can you find it?" It's still unknown, if I can repay Miss Mo's kindness for me, I will die without regret."

"Grandpa, I bought the tofu." Su Xiaocui shouted from a distance.

Grandpa Su quickly said to Mo Qingli again: "Miss Mo, Xiaocui is just my granddaughter, she doesn't know anything, please don't mention this matter and the origin of the old man, the old man is just an ordinary old man .”

Mo Qingli knows that there are many secrets in the palace, the less people know, the safer she is, she nodded and said: "Don't worry, I won't mention it to Xiao Cui, you can live an ordinary life here in the future .”

Grandpa Su smiled and nodded.

After lunch, Mo Qingli said goodbye to Su Xiaocui.

Su Xiaocui was taken aback, and said reluctantly, "Sister Mo, don't you want to stay longer?"

Mo Qingli shook her head, "I have other things to do when I go south this time, and I didn't come here for sightseeing. Now that I have a new purpose, I have spent enough time here. I have to leave quickly." She took out the silver and a jade bracelet as she spoke.

Mo Qingli packed lightly and did not bring many other things, so there was not much left for Su Xiaocui.

"This jade bracelet is here for you. Be sure to keep it well. If there is any urgent need at home in the future, it can be used as money for emergency. I don't know the market of these jewelry, but it will definitely protect you and Grandpa Su from worrying about food and clothing. The wealth that comes is easy to disperse." It's easier, you should be more careful." Mo Qingli put the jade bracelet into Su Xiaocui's hand.

Grandpa Su said: "Xiao Cui, since it's Miss Mo's kindness, you can accept it."

Su Xiaocui had no choice but to accept it.

Mo Qingli looked at Grandpa Su and said, "Grandpa Su, there will be a period later, if I can come back again, I will naturally visit you."

Su Xiaocui said happily: "Sister Mo, when you come back, I will treat you well."

Mo Qingli nodded, but she and Grandpa Su both knew that it was unknown whether she could come back.

After bidding farewell to Su Xiaocui's family, Mo Qingli led the horse and continued to walk south.

Grandpa Su said that the medicine came from the Dahuai Mountain in the southwest, and Mo Qingli rushed to the southwest immediately.

Dahuai Mountain belongs to the southwest mountain area, where there are many mountains and water, the climate is hot and humid, and there are many miasmas. However, there are towns at the foot of the mountain. Yongcheng is one of the few large towns in the southwest. There is also a bit of lively and prosperous scene.

After Mo Qingli entered Yongcheng, she got off her horse and walked slowly, heading south, the weather would inevitably become a little hotter, and the surrounding landforms, customs and customs were obviously different from those in the north. She found an inn to settle down temporarily and planned to recuperate for a while. Then go to Dahuaishan in the next day. Huaishan belongs to the poverty-stricken area in the mountainous area, and the security is obviously relatively poor. She needs to bring enough things to be safe.

Mo Qingli checked the pills she had brought on the road, and found that there were not many left, so she went to the pharmacy to buy medicines.

"Shudiding, Shenghuang, Danggui, Maiduzi." The clerk in the pharmacy took the prescription and gave Mo Qingli the medicine. When Shan saw the last one, he read in surprise: "Tianluomu, girl, you want Tianluomu what."

Mo Qingli raised her eyes, "Why, is there a problem?" Tianluomu is a must-have medicinal material for her. Although it is unpopular, it is not scarce. Is there a lack of Tianluomu in such a huge Yongcheng?
The guy said: "The girl just arrived in Yongcheng, right?"

Mo Qingli nodded.

The clerk explained the whole story to her. It turned out that Tianluomu's harvest here was not good. Usually, it was only because of the legendary beauty and beauty effects. The medicinal effect of Tianluomu is not so tight, and it is quite good to use Panax notoginseng powder usually, and the pharmacies did not prepare any more, so there is no Tianluomu in the entire Yongcheng.

"If the girl treats trauma, the quality of our Panax notoginseng powder is still very good." The man quickly sold it.

But Mo Qingli didn't use it to treat trauma, she shook her head and said, "Thank you, brother."

"It's okay, it's okay." The man looked at the girl in front of him. Although the clothes were ordinary and the style was simple, her small face was still very beautiful.

In order to hide her whereabouts and prevent her appearance from drawing too much attention, Mo Qingli wore a human skin mask, but her beautiful eyes could not be concealed, and the radiance was revealed from her eyes, even the normal facial features were more A bit pretty.

Mo Qingli turned around and left, and saw the people in front of her publicizing that the sheriff's mansion wanted to recruit a new cook, and that she would give five taels of silver a month, and the people around her were very envious. The city is still very rich, after all, it is a big family.

The housekeeper of the Sheriff's Mansion said loudly in front of the notice: "Look carefully, what we want to recruit is a cook, as long as the craftsmanship is good, other things are easy to talk about, and if the craftsmanship is not good, don't come to make a fool of yourself. Our wife is satisfied, that reward is not small."

There are many people who are eager to try, the so-called great reward must have a brave man, and many women immediately signed up to be cooks.

Mo Qingli thought about how she was a cook when she sneaked into the Luo Mansion, and the corners of her lips curled up slightly. It just so happened that she couldn't buy Tian Luomu, so she had to go to the Sheriff's Mansion to get it, so why not go in with an ordinary identity and plan slowly, It was better than rushing in rashly, so he followed the group of women in the name of participating in the cook assessment.

"Now, each of you is preparing a dish, and the manager wants to see your skills." The manager of the sheriff's mansion brought them into the kitchen and said.

Everyone immediately swarmed to grab carrots and cabbage, Mo Qingli frowned as she saw the busy look.

"Why don't you go over?" The manager asked when he noticed that the woman was standing there motionless.

Mo Qingli said, "I'm thinking about what to cook."

The manager said: "Then hurry up, don't delay." After finishing speaking, he raised his hand and ordered people to look at these applicants for cooks, and don't run out to steal things while they are not paying attention. These poor people have sharp eyes and quick hands. Can go a lot of things.

The sheriff's wife also specifically explained that if you want to try your handicraft, you can only take it to the servant's kitchen to try. The things in the kitchen dedicated to the masters are all good, so I dare not let them ruin it.

The manager is here to report the situation to the sheriff's wife.

The magistrate's wife is a woman in her thirties, she has been pampered all the year round, her body is a bit rich, her head is full of gold and silver jewelry, she slowly looks at her appearance in the mirror, and after listening to the manager's return, she curls her lips Jiao, "I hope I can recruit a better one. Hao'er eats less and less recently. Cooks haven't known how to change their styles for hundreds of years. Even I find it boring."

"Mother." A sixteen or seventeen-year-old fat man with greasy hair and pink face came over. He was wearing silk and satin, shaking a folding fan with a picture of a beautiful woman in his hand, and a large golden lock on his neck. Asked: "The family is recruiting a cook again."

When the sheriff's wife saw her precious son, her eyes were full of tenderness unconsciously, "Yes, did you come back just for this?"

A gleam flashed in Zhao Hao's eyes, "It's true, my son wants to see the cooks' skills."

"Anyway, I recruited it for you. Seeing that your diet has been bad recently, I thought about finding another one for a change. If you want to see it, go, but don't eat it lightly. It's made in the kitchen. , the hands and feet are not necessarily clean, and my stomach hurts after eating carefully." The sheriff's wife explained carefully, and ordered the housekeeper to follow.

Zhao Hao led the housekeeper to the servants' kitchen, and asked quickly on the way: "How do these recruits look like?"

The butler knew his young master's disposition, and said with a smile: "Master, this is a cook, not a flower girl. There really isn't anyone who should be pretty."

Zhao Hao pursed his lips, "You are an old man, what can you see with your old eyes? I still want this young master to go and see it in person. If you see something beautiful, you can directly recruit it."

The housekeeper hurriedly said with a smile: "The young master recruited is naturally good."

Zhao Hao walked into the kitchen, and was choked half to death by the smoky smell inside. He quickly came out holding his nose and said, "Why is it so choking?"
