To Hold One’s Joy

  Chapter 394 Do you want to try

   Behind the screen is an arhat bed covered with cushions.

  Concubine Xiao Gui sat down lazily, and nodded to Taohong.

  Tao Hong quickly moved a small box over and placed it beside Xiuyue.

   "Sit down and talk."

  Xiuyue sat down respectfully.

   Concubine Xiao looked at her for a moment, then asked: "I like the snacks sent to Yuhua Palace in the past few months."

   "It's an honor for a woman to like your empress."

   "Next time, what are you going to do for me to taste?" Concubine Xiao Gui stared at Xiuyue with burning eyes.

  Xiuyue calmly said: "The woman is going to make peanut brown sugar cakes."

   Concubine Xiao's eyes turned cold, and she signaled Tao Hong to guard the screen.

  Xiuyue seemed to be unaware of it, and sat in a well-behaved manner.

   Concubine Xiao's face turned completely cold, and she said word by word: "Xiu Gu, I am not a fool, tell me what you want to do."

  Xiuyue got up and bowed down, lowering her eyes and said: "The woman wishes the empress to give birth to a son soon."

   Tao Hong, who was guarding the screen, was shocked and horrified when she heard this.

  Is this cook crazy?

  Don't say that this is a noble concubine, it is related to the sons and grandsons of the dragon, even if it is an ordinary family, the wife has not moved for many years, it is extremely rude to say such a sentence suddenly.

   Concubine Xiao clenched her hands tightly on the apron, covering her face with ice: "Xiu Gu, do you know that with your words, even Miss Luo can't protect you?"

  Xiuyue still looked calm: "The woman knows."

   "Then what are your intentions? If you keep trying to keep it secret, I will ask someone to drag you out!" Concubine Xiao Gui said sharply, but she was not so angry inside.

   Already outraged, now more doubts.

  Although Ms. Luo said that the cook is pure-hearted and devoted herself to the kitchen, she is not stupid in her words and deeds, and there is no reason to seek her own death.

  Xiu Gu did this, I am afraid there is something hidden.

  She doesn't care what the other party's secrets are, and teases her with "born a precious son", if she can't give her a satisfactory answer, don't blame her for being ruthless.

  Not to mention Miss Luo, even if it is the Governor of Luo, wouldn't she be afraid of making trouble with the emperor?

  Xiuyue knelt on the ground, her face could be vaguely reflected on the cold and smooth gold bricks.

  It was a horrible face.

  Xiuyue thought of her refusal when she voluntarily disfigured her face twelve years ago.

   After suffering for so long and looking forward to it for so long, she can finally do something for the Zhennan Palace and the princess.

  Xiuyue slowly raised her head and met Concubine Xiao's eyes.

  The cold-faced Concubine Xiao Gui met that face, her momentum slightly stagnant.

   "Women can help the empress." Xiuyue said word by word.

   These words were like a thunderbolt, exploding in Concubine Xiao's heart.

   Concubine Xiao suddenly stood up: "Say it again!"

  Xiuyue said in a calm tone: "The women learned to cook since they were young, and they were lucky enough to get a prescription for medicinal food. As long as you follow the prescription to regulate your body, it will greatly increase the chances of a woman's conception..."

   Concubine Xiao Gui sneered: "Do you think I would believe such absurd things?"

  What medicinal recipe has such a miraculous effect?

  If there is such a medicinal recipe, how can no one know about it, and it will be dedicated to her by a woman today?

  This cook must be trying to use her Panzi's earnest thoughts to win a fortune and wealth, no different from those charlatans.

   Concubine Xiao Gui had a gloomy face, not wanting to admit the real hope deep in her heart.

   Giving birth to a precious son early is indeed a great temptation for her. Even knowing that the cook is talking nonsense, she still can't help her heart beat faster.

  Can't help but keep listening...

  Xiuyue calmly said: "In front of the empress, the women are like ants, but the ants also cherish their lives. There is no need for the women to coax the empress to lose their lives."

   Concubine Xiao Gui stared at Xiuyue silently.

  Xiuyue looked at him with a calm expression: "The woman knows that the empress suddenly finds it ridiculous, but does the empress really want to try?"

  Don't you want to try it?

  Concubine Xiao Gui stared down at the humble woman, but felt that she was not a humble cook, but a seductive devil.

   And she... was really moved.

   She has a lot of time, so what's the loss in trying?

  If the cook coaxes her, it will be effortless to crush her to death.

  At this moment, Concubine Xiao Gui realized what it means to be heartbroken.

  That was an emotion that she didn't have when she first went to bed.

  No way, who made the emperor already an old man when she first entered the palace.

   After a long silence, Concubine Xiao slowly said, "If I plan to try it, how long will it take to see results?"

  Hearing this, Xiuyue's tense heartstrings loosened.

  No matter how calm and calm you are on the surface, how can you not be nervous at all in your heart.

   People's hearts are unpredictable, and no one can be sure of a person's choice.

   She passed the most difficult level.

   "It's good to teach my mother that although the medicinal recipes can regulate a woman's physique, the effect varies from person to person. Generally speaking, it can take two or three months for a short time, and a year for a long time, and you will know how effective it is."

  The medicated diet recipe was left by Dr. Li in order to recuperate the body of the princess. It is because of this prescription that the princess can give birth to the little prince in middle age.

   Concubine Xiao Gui raised her eyebrows, and asked coldly: "It is calculated as one year, if there is no movement in the palace after one year, so what?"

  Xiuyue said without hesitation: "The women are at the disposal of the empress."

   Just like betting on whether Concubine Xiao will try, this is the second hurdle to bet on.

  An ordinary wind and cold, some people will be well after drinking **** syrup and sleeping, but some people will lose their lives.

  There is no medicine in the world that can definitely cure the disease, what we see is just a chance.

  The medicinal recipe left by the genius doctor is enough for the princess to take a gamble with her.

"Let me deal with it?" Concubine Xiao Guiliang asked this, her tone became more and more stern, "If this palace is played by a little cook for a year, even if you are put to death at that time, it will be hard to get rid of the anger in my heart .”

  Think about eating medicinal food for a year, and finally find out that the cook is a liar—

  Concubine Xiao Gui raised her eyebrows, and said calmly: "If there is a day, I will have to call Miss Luo into the palace to ask."

  The implication is that Miss Luo will inevitably be implicated.

  Xiuyue didn't seem to hear the threat, and said seriously: "If the medicinal recipe has no effect on the empress, the empress can call our master into the palace to discuss it."

   Concubine Xiao was taken aback.

   Could it be that this cook is stupid, what kind of nonsense is she talking about?

   "What are you discussing?" Concubine Xiao Gui asked coldly.

  Xiuyue lowered her eyes and said: "Our master is very favored by divine doctors. If the medicinal recipes presented by the women are not effective for the empress, the empress can ask the master to ask the divine doctor if there is any way..."

   Concubine Xiao's heart skipped a beat.

  The genius doctor was protected by a gold medal bestowed by the previous emperor, even if the emperor couldn't force the genius doctor to do anything, it was even more impossible for her to invite the genius doctor to Yuhua Palace with great fanfare for the reason of seeking a child with her status as a noble concubine.

   It is rumored that the genius doctor is giving Miss Luo a lot of face. She may ask Miss Luo to help, so she quietly asks the genius doctor to take a look.

  Thinking of this, Concubine Xiao raised her eyebrows slightly.

  If so, why did she try this unknown medicinal recipe?
