Harem: Biography of Concubine Qin

Chapter 366 Cinnamon
Waiting for jerky to eat?

What does it mean?
The old man with a beard didn't expect that he was stopped by a two or three-year-old doll.

He wanted to say no, then what?

If Brother Fifth asks again, why are you kneeling here? He can't answer that he is kneeling here to force your empress to hand over the secret edict, right?

He had no choice but to answer vaguely, and the fifth elder brother ran in thoughtfully.

The old man let out a sigh of relief.

The person next to him asked him, "What does Brother Wu mean?"

"Ask me? How would I know!"

After a while, the sound of stomping footsteps came again.

I saw the fifth elder brother excitedly, and came out with a big flower plate, which contained slices of oily dried meat.

He stretched out his chubby little hand, grabbed a piece of dried meat, and handed it to Suo'etu first.

Suo'etu was taken aback, took the jerky, stared at it and didn't know what to do.

This fifth elder brother is a good boy. He is only two or three years old, and he already knows that he loves them veterans.

Unlike the ruthless imperial concubine, let them kneel down.

Immediately afterwards, the fifth elder brother walked back again, sending out one piece in order.

When they received the bright red and oily jerky, the veterans had tears in their eyes.

They suddenly felt that if the emperor's secret edict made fifth elder brother the new king, they would not want to resist.

Such a little elder brother who knows how to hurt others, if he becomes the emperor, he will definitely not treat them badly!

Someone hungrily put the jerky into his mouth, his eyes lit up.

"This jerky is so delicious!"

Hearing such a sound, the people next to him also started to eat.

"It's really delicious, old minister, thank you Fifth Elder Brother for the reward."

"Thank you Fifth Brother for the reward!"

The fifth elder brother stood in the crowd, giggling until his eyes narrowed.

Inside the palace gate, a young eunuch hurried out, followed by a big white dog galloping.

"My good brother, I finally found you!"

It turned out to be rich and noble.

He stared at the big flower plate in the fifth elder brother's arms, and said, "Give back the fat thief's bowl to the servant, the fat thief should eat, if you don't eat it, you will eat the pumpkin in the backyard!"

Who is the fat thief?

The ministers who were chewing the jerky didn't understand for a while.

"Ow, ooh!"

The big white dog behind Fugui'er barked twice, and he hurriedly turned his head to appease him: "Okay, stop barking, fat thief master, you finally found your job!"

what?
This big white dog is a fat thief? !

Then the jerky they ate...

The ministers who had eaten with gusto just now, their faces were like pork livers, picked their throats one after another.

The sound of retching came one after another.

Fu Guier quickly took Fifth Prince's hand, and took the big flower plate in his hand.

The fat thief stared at the jerky on the plate, groaned twice, and suddenly made a movement of kneeling down on his hind legs and raising his front legs.

This action undoubtedly stabbed the ministers outside the door even more.

It turned out that the fifth elder brother said that they knelt there waiting for the dried meat to be eaten, which is what they meant...

All of a sudden, the sound of vomiting became even worse.

Chen Wenxin frowned slightly inside, and put down the milk tea in his hand.

"Listening to their movement, I feel like throwing up."

She pinched her nose in disgust.

Bai Lu smiled and said, "Master, why don't we go back? The day will be gloomy in a while, and the north wind is blowing."

Although she is not afraid of the cold wind by wrapping her quilt around the stove, she still has to be careful.

The one in my stomach is about to come out at any time, and now I can't be sloppy at all.

Chen Wenxin nodded, Bai Lu supported her and walked in slowly, Fu Gui'er went in with the fifth elder brother and the fat thief.

Only a group of adults with pale faces were left, kneeling outside the empty palace gate, shrinking their bodies.

A gust of autumn wind blows and leaves fall.

Kneeling like this until it was time to prepare dinner, the small kitchen of Yikun Palace wafted out the smell of food, making these adults who hadn't had a drop of water all day unable to hold on.

"Master Suo, should we..."

Before he finished speaking, Suo'etu with a tired face turned his head and gave him a hard look.

"What should I do? If I leave now, wouldn't this day be in vain?"

That being said, but...

They really can't kneel down!
There was a sound of footsteps coming from behind, and everyone looked back feebly, only to see a person wearing court clothes coming, with golden curly hair exposed under the hat.

It was Nan Huairen.

Nan Huairen walked carefully among the ministers who were kneeling on the ground, while walking, he also greeted the adults he knew.

Everyone is weak, who has the heart to say hello to him?

Nan Huairen looked at their faces and smiled, walked to the palace gate, and said to the little eunuch: "Please tell the imperial concubine, I have found a foreigner who knows how to treat malaria!"

The little eunuch's eyes widened, and he couldn't believe it: "Found it? The servant will lead the lord in!"

The little eunuch wished he could rush in to spread the word, such a big happy event, the word spreader must give a reward.

Sure enough, when Chen Wenxin heard the news, he hurriedly brought Nan Huairen into the side hall to meet him.

"Where is that person now?"

Nan Huairen said: "The imperial concubine, that person is Maza, a missionary from France. In their country, many people suffered from malaria in the past, so they have medicine to treat it."

Chen Wenxin couldn't help laughing, with a kind of joy that the clouds opened to see the moonlight.

"What kind of medicine is that?"

"Cinchona cream."

Yes, that's the name!

She hurriedly said: "Then does this person have this medicine now?"

Nan Huairen frowned, "He doesn't have it now. But he said that there is a ship from their country, and it will dock along the coast of Guangdong in three days."

three days?

She frowned slightly, thinking secretly.

It will take three days to wait for the ship to dock. If the medicine can be successfully obtained and sent to the front line, the journey will take at least four days.

A total of seven days.

Seven days, judging from the news sent back by Lu Zong, the emperor of the seven days can still endure.

"Okay, just three days."

She took a deep breath, "I will let the governors of Guangdong and Guangxi fully cooperate, and we must ensure that the French cargo ship lands safely as soon as possible. When the ship lands, send all the Kinneys to the ship with hard-earned horses day and night. front."

After thinking about it, he suddenly asked, "Where is that Maza now?"

"He just arrived in the capital yesterday."

"Bring him to live in the palace. Isn't he a missionary? If he can get the medicine, he wants to open a church in central Beijing or spread the Bible. This palace can satisfy his wish."

"If you can't get it..."

Then she has to learn from Lu Zong, how Lu Zong dealt with those wandering doctors, she also dealt with him.

Nan Huairen cupped his hands and saluted, "Yes, I'm going right away."

Nan Huairen came and went in a hurry, arousing the speculation of the ministers outside the door.

"What are the foreign devils here for?"

A person who knelt in front of him listened, "It seemed that he had heard what he said, and then the little eunuch was so happy that he let him in."

Overjoyed?

The emperor can't afford to be seriously ill at the front line, what else is there to be happy about at this time?
Is it...

The ministers looked at each other.

Could it be that the medicine to treat the emperor's illness has been found?
Then they are still kneeling here, if the emperor finds out when he comes back, he will definitely deal with them!
Some people started to waver, some people started to get scared.

They couldn't help admiring those officials who didn't show up when they came to Yikun Palace today.

What's great is to offend Suo'etu, at most one more Tong Guowei, so what?

Offending the emperor, that is really terrible!
Just when people were distracted, they saw a person walking out of Yikun Palace, who looked like a small table.

He smiled and said to the crowd: "The empress and noble concubine said, it seems that the sky is going to be dark now, so it's okay to say during the day, but at night, the foreign ministers stay in the harem. I'm afraid you adults can't bear the crime. Why don't you adults go back first?" "

Someone eagerly tried to stand up, but was kicked by Suo'etu and knelt down again.

Suo'etu had been waiting for a day for his words.

He snorted coldly, "Hmph, for the sake of the country and the country, if the imperial concubine does not tell us the content of the secret edict, we will not stop begging for a day!"

Chen Wenxin now knows that she is afraid and wants them to go back?

no way!

The little table laughed and said: "Master Suo misunderstood, the imperial concubine did not let you kneel down. She told you to go back at night, and then come to kneel tomorrow in the daytime. It will never damage the loyalty and patriotism of your lords!"

puff--

When the ministers behind heard this, they wished they could vomit three liters of blood.

The imperial concubine is ruthless, really ruthless.

It is even more ruthless than Soetu.

"The imperial concubine also said—"

The crowd pricked up their ears.

"If you all refuse to go back, then go to the Department of Punishment and kneel down, and you will be charged with the crime of trespassing on the harem at night and intending to defile the palace."

A group of people seemed to have thorns on their knees. They didn't care about Suo'etu's eyes and stood up directly from the ground.

Because my knees were swollen after kneeling for a day, it was inevitable that I would not be able to stand upright when it happened suddenly.

The minister who fell to the ground all of a sudden.

Seeing this, the ministers who dared not get up, their eyes lit up, and went to help those who had fallen.

"My lord, be careful, the servants are here to support you!"

The old man who fell to the ground stretched out his hand, and saw that seven or eight hands were waiting to help him.

This is great, everyone stood up one after another, only Suo'etu was still kneeling there.

He looked up at the little table.

The little table looked at him with a smile, not impatient.

Suo'etu snorted coldly, and slowly supported the bluestone brick floor, propping up his fat body.

"My father-in-law told the imperial concubine that I will definitely come back tomorrow, and my lords will definitely come back tomorrow!"

"Yes, before coming tomorrow, please adults bring dry food and water."

The little table had a respectful mouth, but a sneer on his face, which made Suo'ertu very angry.

A group of people limped and walked slowly towards the direction of leaving the palace.

Looking at it from a distance, it doesn't look like a person who lives in a temple and points out the country, but a group of disaster victims fleeing for refuge.

I lost my temper.

The little table turned around and said to the little eunuch guarding the door: "If they come again tomorrow, you can talk back after counting the number of people."

"Yes, Mr. Table."
