Chapter 1138: The Incident
Translator: Lonelytree
In the royal study, after Emperor Yuwen Longyan finished reading a letter, his aura was first filled with anger, but a moment later, it turned into joy. This caused Eunuch Zhang, who was standing at the side, to tremble in fear. His legs kept trembling as the Emperor’s expression changed.
“How impudent!” The Emperor was furious.
“Haha?..” Then, he laughed out loud again.
Everyone knew that the heart of a ruler was unpredictable. Even Eunuch Zhang, who had been by the Emperor’s side for decades, did not know if the Emperor was happy or unhappy.
Then, he heard the Emperor point to a package on the table and say, ” Eunuch Zhang, open it!”
Only then did Eunuch Zhang realize that at some point in time, a package had been placed in front of the Emperor’s table.
But Eunuch Zhang knew that this was definitely something sent over by the Dark Guard Battalion.
“Yes, Your Majesty!” Eunuch Zhang replied respectfully.
Then, he swiftly opened the package.
There were yellowish-brown hard things that looked like small wooden sticks, but they were obviously not.
Eunuch Zhang tried it with his hand. It was very brittle and easy to break. Eunuch Zhang was puzzled. ” What is this? Why haven’t I seen it before?” The Emperor smiled and said, ‘i Of course, you haven’t seen it. This is also the first time I’ve seen it.”
Eunuch Zhang asked, I ‘ Your Majesty, this is….”
The Emperor said, ” This is sweet potato vermicelli! Oh, it was something made from sweet potatoes.”
Eunuch Zhang looked at the sweet potato vermicelli in surprise and said in surprise, i ‘ This is sweet potato vermicelli? Was it made with sweet potatoes? But this old servant has never heard of it before!”
Eunuch Zhang asked a few questions in a row. When he finally reacted, he was immediately a little panicked.
Eunuch Zhang hurriedly bowed and said, I ‘ Your Majesty, this old servant… This old servant….” Overstepped.
Perhaps the Emperor was in a good mood.
He waved his hand and said, ” Sigh, not only are you confused, but I am too! However, the person who can answer the question is not here!”
Eunuch Zhang really wanted to ask who this person was, but he knew very well that he could not ask.
However, after following the Emperor for so long and being the Emperor’s trusted aide, there were some things that he vaguely knew.
It was just that it was not convenient for these things to be made public.
The Emperor touched the sweet potato vermicelli with his hand and thought of the cooking method of the sweet potato vermicelli mentioned in another letter. There was a faint anticipation in his heart.
Although he ate all kinds of delicacies every day, no matter how delicious the food was, he would get tired of eating it every day.
Now that there was a new thing that could make delicious food, he was definitely happy.
The Emperor instructed Eunuch Zhang, I ‘ Eunuch Zhang, get the imperial kitchen to make this sweet potato vermicelli for me! Give this to Imperial Chef Liu!
Eunuch Zhang looked at the three to four catties of sweet potato vermicelli and frowned. i ‘ But, Your Majesty, this is the first time even Imperial Chef Liu has seen this! I’m afraid he …” He probably couldn’t do it!
The Emperor understood what Eunuch Zhang meant.
Then, he took out one of the three letters and handed it to Eunuch Zhang.
Here’s a recipe for sweet potato vermicelli. Take it to Imperial Chef Liu! ‘
When Eunuch Zhang received the letter, he couldn’t help but feel surprised.
This person was really meticulous. He even sent the recipe over.
When Eunuch Zhang left the royal study with the sweet potato vermicelli and the letter, he was stopped by the Emperor again.
“Wait, Eunuch Zhang!’
“Your Majesty!’
“Go to the Earth Peace Palace and the Moon Palace to inform the Empress and
Imperial Noble Consort to have dinner with me tonight!”
“Yes, Your Majesty!’
After Eunuch Zhang left, the Emperor opened another letter that made him angry and amused.
The handwriting in the letter was delicate and meaningful, refreshing and spirited. One could tell at a glance that it was a woman’s handwriting.
The letter told him that a rat had been caught in her kitchen and had stolen three jars of peanut oil and a handful of sweet potato vermicelli.
Then, she asked him how she was going to deal with this rat.
Obviously, this rat was the number one secret guard of the Dark Guard Battalion, Wu Ming.
The purpose of Lin Yuelan’s letter was very obvious. She wanted him to redeem her. In other words, she wanted compensation!
This Lin Yuelan was really too bold.
However, was Wu Ming really becoming more and more useless? Otherwise, how could he be caught so easily?
Of course, this made the Emperor even more interested in Lin Yuelan.
He picked up a pen, wrote a letter, and handed it to the Dark Guard Battalion..
