Chapter 1444 Burning with jealousy!

Zhuji Restaurant is an old brand in Ji County. The family has been passed down for five generations for a hundred years. It started out by selling braised pork ribs. It is said that Zhuji Braised Pork Ribs are sold in the streets of Ji County. Because they are delicious and the price is affordable, the business is very prosperous and sells very well!

Therefore, it started out as a street restaurant, then became a small restaurant, and then from a small restaurant it became one of the top restaurants in Ji County today.

Although the business is growing, the braised pork ribs have always been the signature product of Zhuji Restaurant. Successive owners have always adhered to the traditional craftsmanship and refused to cut corners in the slightest. Therefore, to this day, Zhuji's braised pork ribs are still as delicious as ever, and dozens of plates are sold every day!
Therefore, the pot in Zhuji Restaurant is always prepared, waiting for diners to place orders so that the food can be served on the table. This time was no exception. Liu Baichuan only waited for a cup of tea, and a plate of braised bones with rich sauce flavor and a pot of Shaodaozi were served on the table!

"Guardian! The braised pork ribs and the roast pork are ready for you. The other side dishes are being cooked in the kitchen!"

Feeling the familiar smell of the braised bones, Liu Baichuan nodded with satisfaction. Although he hadn't been here for a while, the taste had not changed.

About five or six years ago, Liu Baichuan received an order from the Coordination Office to bring people to Ji County to capture a spy from the Supervisory Office. The arrest was completed smoothly. At that time, one of Liu Baichuan's men was a native of Ji County, so he suggested going to Zhuji Restaurant to eat braised bones to celebrate!
Liu Baichuan also felt that it was normal to eat and drink to celebrate after successfully completing the task, but he was a little confused about eating marinated bones to celebrate···············

In his eyes, what's so delicious about these bones?
Isn't it more economical to have some braised pork or steamed fish instead of gnawing on the bones?
Although he had such an idea, under the strong recommendation of his subordinates, he also came to Zhuji Restaurant!
After tasting the Zhuji Braised Pork Ribs, Liu Baichuan felt that the reputation was well deserved. There really is something special about the Zhuji Braised Pork Ribs that has been passed down for a hundred years!
From then on, whenever Liu Baichuan had the opportunity to come to Ji County on business, he would come to Zhuji Restaurant to have a meal of braised pork ribs. If he could drink, he would also pair it with Zhuji Restaurant's Shaodaozi. He felt that this was a very rare combination!
The last time he came to Zhuji Restaurant to eat braised pork bones was almost two years ago. Liu Baichuan had no idea why he came to Ji County at that time. He only remembered that not long after he ate the braised pork bones that time, something happened to his backer Huo San, and then he was exiled to Sichuan by Wang Xuecheng!

Thinking back to the past, Liu Baichuan took a bite of the stew with a somewhat sad expression. At this moment, some peanuts, a small cold dish, and some shredded potatoes fried with vinegar were served on Liu Baichuan's table.

Although these three side dishes are not very hard, they are a perfect match with wine, so they also make Liu Baichuan drink faster.

Liu Baichuan is also a person who loves drinking. Before, he was nicknamed Liu Qianbei in the Coordination Office!

The reason why Huo San valued him was because of his drinking ability. Huo San would take him to any dinner party and let him drink for him. Over time, Liu Baichuan became Huo San's confidant and beloved general. He was promoted by Huo San from an ordinary spy to a centurion and a thousand-man commander of the General Coordination Office...

After becoming a captain, Liu Baichuan made a mistake due to drinking. Having learned his lesson, he drank less often, but he still drank a little every five days and a lot every ten days. During the time he was on the road, Liu Baichuan had to stop drinking in order to keep a clear mind.

Because it is not safe yet, Liu Baichuan had thought it through before drinking, and decided to drink less, just two taels to satisfy his craving. However, once the wine entered his mouth, coupled with the delicious food, Liu Baichuan's alcohol addiction was completely aroused, so all his previous thoughts were thrown out of the window.

Soon Liu Baichuan finished drinking two liang of Shaodaozi, and immediately opened his mouth and ordered:

"Give me another two ounces of wine!"

"Okay! The two liang Shaodaozi will be here soon!"

At this time, Liu Baichuan was already a little drunk under the influence of alcohol, and did not notice at all that two strong men came into Zhuji Restaurant.

Other diners who entered the restaurant were either looking for seats or ordering food, but these two people looked around at the diners in the restaurant. Soon their eyes were locked on Liu Baichuan, who was drinking alone. The two did not speak, but just looked at each other. They could feel the excitement in each other's eyes!
The next second, the shorter man found a seat and sat down, while his companion walked out of the restaurant.

Because Zhuji Restaurant was doing a booming business, and it was lunchtime, there was a lot of people coming and going, so many diners in the lobby were toasting each other, and the noise was very noisy, so no one noticed what these two people were doing...

Because he was alone and no one was chatting with Liu Baichuan, he ate very quickly. A plate of braised pork ribs and three side dishes were soon empty. However, Liu Baichuan still felt unsatisfied. Seeing that there was still some left in the wine pot, he immediately called the waiter:

"Give me another half plate of braised bones!"

"okay!"

After receiving the response, Liu Baichuan picked up the wine glass and took a sip. At this moment, he felt that a pair of eyes were looking at him. He turned his head subconsciously and saw a sturdy and lean young man drinking alone like him!

Seeing this, Liu Baichuan's eyes showed some suspicion. Although he did not find any problems with this person, his many years of experience as a spy still made him alert. After a slight hesitation, Liu Baichuan was about to get up and go upstairs!
At this moment, a middle-aged man in a gray robe who looked to be in his forties walked into the restaurant with two young men. As soon as they entered the restaurant, they looked at Liu Baichuan.

The next second, the middle-aged man shouted angrily:
"Liu Baichuan, you bastard! Where are you running to!"

Before he finished speaking, the middle-aged man in gray robe and the two men behind him drew short knives from their waists and rushed towards Liu Baichuan!
The originally bustling restaurant lobby immediately became a mess. Although Liu Baichuan's mind was still a little unclear due to drinking, he still dodged the attack of the gray-robed man with his martial arts skills. However, he could not dodge the slashes of the other two. His arms and back were slashed by the dagger and blood was flowing!

The blood and severe pain immediately sobered Liu Baichuan up. He immediately slapped out with two palms to repel the three gray-robed men. However, when Liu Baichuan wanted to continue to exert his strength, he did feel dizzy. His years of experience immediately made him look at his arms!

Immediately afterwards, there was a burst of fierce footsteps outside the restaurant, as well as the shouts of the people working in the Coordination Office and the bystanders to retreat, but Liu Baichuan was no longer able to care about it at this time. He only felt that his eyes went dark, and he fell straight to the ground...

Night, Palace

After a whole day of hard work, An Miaoyi sat in front of the dressing mirror, a little tired, while the maid beside her carefully removed her makeup. Because of the Cao Mama incident some time ago, the accounting of the inner treasury has become a hot topic in the palace!

Although Ye Mingsheng chose to trust An Miaoyi in handling this matter, allowing An Miaoyi to conduct self-examination and self-correction, and did not let other people intervene in the investigation, but from Ye Mingsheng's personal attitude, An Miaoyi knew that this matter would not be reduced to a small matter like this!
She must give an explanation to His Majesty about this matter and give Ye Mingsheng a satisfactory result. If she fails to do so, it will not be as simple as self-examination and self-correction. You must know that Murong Qingwu is watching closely and is waiting to intervene in this matter at any time!

And if she were to be investigated, then all the problems with the treasury would really be exposed!

So An Miaoyi has been busy with this matter during this period. On the one hand, she is looking for the accountant to re-make the account books of the internal treasury, and on the other hand, she is also looking for a suitable scapegoat!
After Nanny Cao was imprisoned, An Miaoyi had to take over the Inner Court Department herself, which made her even more tired.

Seeing that the maids around her had not finished removing their makeup for a long time, An Miaoyi said impatiently:
"What are you guys dithering for? Hurry up and take off your makeup!"

These palace maids and nannies felt very aggrieved by An Miaoyi’s insults. It was not that they didn’t want to be quick, but they were worried that they might hurt An Miaoyi if they were quick.
A few days ago, a little palace maid accidentally hurt An Miaoyi while combing her hair. An Miaoyi, who was in a bad mood, slapped her seven or eight times. Not only that, she also sent her to the laundry department!

With such a previous experience, the palace maids and nannies serving An Miaoyi have been keeping silent these days for fear that they might accidentally bring bad luck to An Miaoyi!

But facing An Miaoyi's insults, they had no other good solutions. They could only accept it obediently and speed up the process of removing their makeup.

After a while, An Miaoyi, who had finished removing her makeup, lay on the sofa and let several palace maids do beauty treatments on her. Two palace maids massaged her feet, and two more massaged her legs. At the head, a nanny was carefully smearing pearl mud made of pearl powder on An Miaoyi's skin.

An Miaoyi, who was enjoying the massage, temporarily forgot her worries and her body gradually relaxed. When she was young, An Miaoyi was not interested in beauty and makeup, but as she got older, even though she was very self-disciplined, some problems gradually surfaced.

When she felt the crow's feet at the corners of her eyes, An Miaoyi knew she needed to pay attention to her beauty!

The massage lasted about an incense stick of time before it ended. An Miaoyi washed the pearl mud off her face with clean water. Then the nanny used a beauty tool to lift the corners of An Miaoyi's eyes to reduce the crow's feet at the corners of her eyes...
At this moment Qiqige walked into the room. An Miaoyi glanced at Qiqige, then waved her hand. The other maids in the room immediately stopped their work, bowed and retreated one by one.

After all these people left, Qiqige also reported to An Miaoyi:

"The matter of the queen's account book has finally been arranged, and the whole thing has been pushed onto Nanny Cao, Eunuch Xu and seventeen others!"

"I have also made arrangements for these people's families. They won't talk nonsense!"

An Miaoyi nodded with satisfaction when she heard that. In order to give Ye Mingsheng a satisfactory explanation, she had been under a lot of pressure during this period. She already had poor sleep, and she had been suffering from insomnia all night long in the past few days!

Now that the account book matter has finally been arranged, she can give Ye Mingsheng an explanation, and she can sleep well tonight!

After resolving this matter, An Miaoyi pondered for a moment and asked:
"Did your Majesty go to Bae Ji-soo's place?"

Qiqige didn't speak immediately after hearing this, and her face was a little hesitant. Seeing this, An Miaoyi already had the answer in her heart, but she still held a glimmer of luck and said in a deep voice:
"I want to hear the truth!"

After hearing this, Qiqige did not dare to hide it, and immediately said:
"Your Majesty, she went to Concubine Pei's place at 15:00 in the afternoon..."

Although this was the answer An Miaoyi expected, but when this answer came out of Qi Qige's mouth, An Miaoyi still couldn't hide the resentment in her heart. She picked up a glass water cup beside her and smashed it to the ground!
"boom!"

After a crisp sound, the glass cup worth five cents of silver turned into countless glass fragments on the tiles.

After breaking a cup, An Miaoyi not only did not calm down but became even more irritated. She was really curious about what kind of ability this S-type guy from Dongdao had to make Ye Mingsheng so obsessed!

Although this Dongdao bitch is a few years younger than me, she is already a woman in her thirties, not a young girl anymore. How could Ye Mingsheng still dote on her so much? I just released her yesterday and I went to find her today!

Your Majesty, are you really afraid that others don’t know that you dote on her?

Just as An Miaoyi was burning with jealousy, Qi Qige at the side spoke again:
"My lady, there is something I think I should tell you!"

"what's the matter?"

"The Attendant's Office sent an order to the Medical College tonight. From now on, any news regarding His Majesty's health must be kept strictly confidential. No private dissemination is allowed. Violators will be severely punished..."
