In mid-May, on the border, when Zhao Kingdom's army had just stepped across the border of Jing Kingdom, an ordinary cook revealed the reward list, and then quietly entered the palace.

The cook not only made the dish that Zhou Huai requested, but also made many famous dishes and local folk snacks for Zhou Huai to taste, and gave these dishes a bunch of weird and interesting names.

For example, a dish with fried shrimp chips is named 'Bai Mei Sheng Xue'.A simple soy milk boiled fish fillet, named 'flowing clouds and flowing water'.There is also a soup made with eight kinds of seafood, named 'Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea'.As well as a few seasonal vegetables that have been cold-dressed, they are coded into a picture and named 'Qianjiao Baimei'.

There are also uncommon folk flavors, such as the folk cake flower named 'Baihong'.This cake flower is not difficult to make, but it is very skillful to make it well. It needs to borrow tools such as needles, combs, knives, and scissors, and it is made by pinching, cutting, trimming, and embellishing.After it is shaped and steamed, it is painted with color, and then inserted into the round cake with a bamboo stick.Because cake flowers are not repeated, they must be carefully crafted, and the finished products will be gorgeous and beautiful, with realistic shapes and colorful colors.It's just that the face flower in front of Zhou Huai is not ordinary flowers, birds and animals, but an army with strict military discipline. sense of compulsion.

There are also many dishes with a lot of raw materials and cumbersome processes, such as "Di Bu Ai Bao", "All Foods are Ready" and so on. The various methods such as frying, frying, cooking, and frying used in these dishes can be processed together. Don't lose the attention of Buddha jumping over the wall.There is even a platter carved with melons and fruits into the shape of a seven-story palace, named 'Futu', but there is a lifelike golden tiger engraved next to the palace. The knife is exquisite and the concept is ingenious.

It's just that Zhou Huai looked at the dishes, but didn't move his chopsticks.

The sky outside was gloomy, just like Zhou Huai's mood at this time, a storm was about to come.

On an attic not far from the small courtyard, Wei Cheng looked at the guard who reported to him with a livid face, even uglier than Zhou Huai.He whispered angrily: "Are they all trash? No news came out of the second group of people who went in..."

The guard lowered his head and asked timidly and anxiously: "Sir, do you need to send someone in that night?"

"Sent to die?! Forget it, I'll go in person, I don't believe that this small courtyard is really like an iron barrel, there is no way out."

After Wei Zheng finished speaking, he led a small team into Zhou Huai's yard angrily.

Looking at Zhou Huai who was sitting indifferently in the hall, not surprised by his arrival, Wei Cheng looked like 'I'm just here to find fault', pushed away the guard standing between him and Zhou Huai, and glanced at the person on the table. Cai, opening his mouth was taunting: "The white rainbow pierces the sun, and the palace neighbors the golden tiger? It's better not to be ashamed of such a code word that can be seen at a glance!"

Zhou Huai raised his head and glanced lightly at the uninvited guest, who was very impolite and directly led someone in, and remained silent.

Seeing that she didn't answer, Wei Zheng snorted coldly, and said to himself, "Or are you guys passing the news so blatantly on purpose, without shy away?"

Zhou Huai's eyes turned cold, and he stabbed back: "Is it better than some people always sending some trash to annoy you?"

Thinking of the two teams that were lost last night, Wei Zheng refuted Zhou Huai with an ugly face: "That can only show that you have offended too many people. I heard that after the Fourth Highness left you, he said that he will do everything at all. I want your life."

"How is it possible? I remember that the fourth prince was cute and kind when I was young."

Wei Zheng gritted his teeth, and said something that disgusted Zhou Huai and himself: "But he is not cute or kind now."

"Your purpose is to disgust me?"

Wei Zheng was stunned for a moment, as if he had thought of something, he immediately curbed his anger, instead a perfect smirk appeared on his face, he took a small wine jar from his subordinate, and said enthusiastically: "Why, I was talking to you just now. Are you kidding, Ms. Zhou should not be serious, right? We have known each other since we were young. We haven’t seen each other for so many years, so we should catch up on the old days, right? I was busy with work before, and I didn’t fulfill the friendship of the landlord, so please invite Ms. Zhou Don't blame me, I have a rest today, so I brought a jar of good wine over to pay a visit, hoping I didn't disturb Miss Zhou."

"Hehe." Zhou Huai looked at the hypocritical Wei Zheng and sneered.

Wei Zheng didn't feel embarrassed, and poured two glasses of wine himself, before saying, "Why don't I punish myself with a glass of wine as an apology? It was my fault before, and I hope Miss Zhou will have a lot." Wei Zheng finished speaking, He directly drank a glass, and when it was full, he said again: "I respect Miss Zhou for this glass, the first is the first to respect."

Zhou Huai watched him drink it coldly, but didn't react at all, and only uttered two words: "Don't drink."

The smile on Wei Zheng's face froze. Seeing Zhou Huai's lack of face, he didn't bother to act again, and said directly threateningly: "Miss Zhou, do you want to propose a toast instead of fine wine?"

"It's just you?!"

"Miss Zhou wants to try?"

"Do you still have people to try? Didn't you find that those people you brought into the courtyard seem to have disappeared?"

Wei Zheng was startled, and asked the subordinate beside him to go out to have a look, but after waiting for a cup of tea, the subordinate did not come back, so he panicked.

Zhou Huai looked at him, and then said slowly: "During the draw back then, your sister promised me a condition in her own name. Although she couldn't help me, she didn't make trouble. So, look For her sake, I will spare your life. Now, immediately disappear in front of me."

"What a big tone! After all, I am also an official of the court, how could it be you..."

Zhou Huai interrupted him directly, and replied blankly: "You want to assassinate me. For this reason, I can kill you right now."

"What evidence do you have?"

"It's not too late to find evidence after killing him."

"Arrogance!" Wei Zheng was furious, he waved his sleeves and flipped the table, and stood up to slash someone with his sword.

Zhou Huai didn't expect him to be so unmannered, and he couldn't avoid it for a while, and was stained all over his body by the soup, dishes and wine. He died here, but his body shook a few times, and he fell to the ground with a 'bang', causing chaos in the hall.

When the eldest princess heard the news and came quickly, she saw red rashes on Zhou Huai's body where the wine was splashed, and her whole body was hot, curled up and shivering on the bed.Then I heard from the imperial doctor that the rashes have increased, and the medicine and stones have no effect. The situation is urgent and life may be in danger.The eldest princess was so distraught that she asked Wei Zheng to be called, and when she asked about the situation, in a rage, she slapped Wei Zheng across the face, angrily scolding: "Did you ignore all my warnings?!"

Wei Zheng covered his face and asked incredulously, "You hit me for her?"

The eldest princess looked indifferent: "If she dies, you can wait to be buried with her."

Wei Zheng was taken aback, his face contorted for a moment, and then he said with a gloomy expression: "Didn't you ask me to test it?"

When Wei Zheng knew that the eldest princess asked him to trouble Zhou Huai, he was still full of joy, thinking that the eldest princess was tired of Zhou Huai and deliberately asked him to fix Zhou Huai.Unexpectedly, he was directly slapped in the face.

"I asked you to drive her away, not to kill her!" The eldest princess angrily reprimanded Wei Zheng, without any politeness.She just wanted Wei Cheng to convey that she didn't want Zhou Huai to stay in the palace and take the opportunity to probe Zhou Huai's reality, but Wei Zheng went so far that she was very annoyed, so she called the guards directly: "Take him away!" Throw it out of the palace."

The eldest princess asked more than a dozen imperial doctors to rest in the small courtyard so that they could be on call at any time.She stayed close to Zhou Huai's bed and guarded herself.

In the middle of the night, the wind blew through the screen window, followed by the sound of thunder.After a while, the rain began to rain miserably.

In the early morning of the next day, Zhou Huai took medication overnight, and the rash on his body disappeared, but the high fever did not subside. His face was flushed, his clothes were wet with sweat, and his condition worsened again.The eldest princess ruthlessly stripped Wei Zheng of his position, punished him with a staff of sixty, and put him in prison.

Fortunately, on the evening of the third day, Zhou Huai woke up.When the eldest princess came to see her, Zhou Huai was drinking porridge.

The eldest princess let out a long sigh of relief, and asked the maidservants after they retreated, "How do you feel?"

Zhou Huai glanced at her angrily, and said in a bad tone, "Although I don't want us to become grudges in the future, do you really think I have lost my temper?"

"This time, it was my mistake."

"Mistakes?! You use these two words to summarize this matter?"

"Then what do you want?"

"It's not what I want, it's you who want to kill me!" Zhou Huai stated the facts calmly, but there were countless emotions in his eyes.

Before they got married, Zhou Huai had sent people to create momentum among the people, exaggerating the 'love' between them.Now that there is such a scene of incongruity and mutual calculation, I have to say irony.

"If I want to kill you, can you still wake up?"

"That's because you dare not do it yourself, you are afraid of the turmoil in the northwest, and you are afraid that the palace will find out and let you be buried with me."

The eldest princess looked at Zhou Huai's mocking expression, and the expression on her face became colder: "If that's the case, then why would I send Wei Zheng to harm you?"

"That's him stupid not knowing I have such a big reaction to alcohol."

Really big reaction.The eldest princess frowned when she thought of Zhou Huai's abnormality on the second night.Suddenly he lost the interest to continue the chat: "Since you insist on putting the responsibility on me, I have nothing to say."

"Well, since you said that, I have no choice but to forgive you one more time. Fortunately, I didn't die like this, otherwise it would be a capsize in the gutter, which would make people laugh."

Seeing that Zhou Huai picked up the matter so heavily and put it down gently, the eldest princess couldn't help raising her eyebrows.I thought that Zhou Huai would be furious when he woke up and get revenge. Even if he was fine, Wei Zheng would have to peel off his skin if he didn't die. Didn't expect it to pass so easily?Thinking of what the person who claimed to be Zhou Huaiyu said last night, she couldn't help calling tentatively: "Zhou Huai?"

"Ok?"

The eldest princess stared at Zhou Huai. To be precise, she searched Zhou Huai's face carefully as if studying some unknown object with probing eyes, and called out another name with some uncertainty: "Zhou Huaiyu?"

"What do you mean?"

"who are you?"

Zhou Huai was taken aback when he heard the words, and when he rolled his eyes, he bared his teeth and made a fierce grimace at the eldest princess, saying, "Who do you think I am?"

The eldest princess stared at Zhou Huai, not frightened, but nodded her head as if confirming it, and said: "Last night, there was a person in your body who claimed to be Zhou Huaiyu, and told me a story after waking up. He said hell There is an evil ghost who escapes back to the world and revives her body. She will bring disaster to the common people. Because she is an evil ghost, even if she wears human skin, she is inhumane. But if you want to get rid of this evil ghost, you only need to destroy the two pieces of jade fish. .”

Zhou Huai looked at the serious eldest princess and laughed loudly: "Then you can try what she said."

The eldest princess shook her head: "You two, I don't believe her even more. But now, I am suddenly not sure if you are still you."

Seeing Princess Eldest's suspicion and vigilance, Zhou Huai spread his hands helplessly, and explained calmly: "Of course I am me. I just walked around the Palace of the King of Hades, and suddenly I want to be a good person."

"Then give me the other piece of jade fish for safekeeping, just in case you suddenly want to be a big devil one day."

"Well, if you can destroy the other piece, I'll give you mine."

The eldest princess pursed her lips, thought for a moment and said, "I can exchange a message with you."

"I know everything you know about me."

"...Then you can do it yourself."
