You are the One and Only - C48
Old Fifteen returned very quickly, carrying a small lunchbox in his hand.
Ming Liu quickly went forward to receive it, and smiled as she submitted to Old Fifteen.
“That’s right!” Ming Liu felt stifled in her mouth, and didn’t have the face to say that he hadn’t eaten either. Although the food sent over from the kitchen was still considered exquisite, there were only a few items every day. It was easy to get tired of eating! “Your Highness, you often leave the palace with the eighth prince. Why don’t you buy some delicious snacks and food when you have the time? Ah, something like that, and change it for our Empress.”
I can’t stay for too long. The two of you, take good care of third Sister-in-Law.
Qin Nuo’s heart was suddenly moved by Old Fifteen’s actions. Even though Old Fifteen was young, she had practiced martial arts since a young age and had grown up in the palace. Her eyesight was definitely sharper than an ordinary person’s. She could tell that Ming Liu and Bi Mei were also poisoned from their expressions. Even though Ming Liu was still restrained in front of Old Fifteen and didn’t have the face to say that she and Peaches had not eaten either, but Old Fifteen must have thought of something.
Just that, Old Fifteen was already used to his prince identity and disliked having servants without rules in front of him. Naturally, he wouldn’t personally say it out loud and let Ming Liu and Bi Tao eat that snack together. Therefore, leaving only one ambiguous sentence could be interpreted as letting them serve her, or as having both of you eat it together. Anyway, he would send them in the afternoon.
“You two can take it, I’m not hungry yet.” Qin Nuo smiled as he looked at the stunned Ming Liu and Bi Tao. These two girls were not stupid and naturally understood what Old Fifteen meant. They were probably deeply moved and powerless to extricate themselves!
“How would he know if you didn’t tell him?” Qin Nuo glared at Ming Liu, but still took a piece from the plate that Ming Liu had given him. Alright, you guys can take it out. I still need to rest, and think about what we should do next! ”
“Yes sir!” Ming Liu and Peaches answered and looked at each other. Only now did they realise that the shock and fear they had from having been poisoned had been completely swept away. It was great to follow the Empress. No matter what happened, she would quickly calm down.
She said she was thinking about things, but after Qin Nuo ate half a piece of dessert, she felt extremely tired. When she woke up, it was already afternoon. When she opened her eyes, she saw Bi Tao and Ming Liu sitting on the side of the bed. Ming Liu was looking at her worriedly, while Bi Tao was leaning on the side.
“The Empress has woken up!” Seeing that Qin Nuo had opened his eyes, a look of happiness flashed past his eyes, but her voice was not loud, as though she was afraid of waking up Bi Tao.
“The two of you aren’t resting. What are you doing here?” Qin Nuo asked, as she faintly understood what was going on.
“Servants… “I’m not sleepy!” Although Ming Liu said that, he couldn’t help but rub his eyes.
“Empress!” Although both of them spoke very softly, Bi Tao still heard their movements and woke up. This servant will go pour the Empress some tea. ”
“I’ll go!” Ming Liu immediately stood up and pressed down on the peaches. You just fell asleep, go take a rest. ”
“I fell asleep earlier, now I’m full of energy.” As Peaches spoke, she stood up as well. After Qin Nuo rinsed his mouth, she had already brought in a bowl of water, wrung out a towel, and helped Qin Nuo wipe his hands.
“Empress, the fifteenth palace came down just now. I saw you asleep, so I put down my things and left.” Ming Liu said softly.
Qin Nuo slightly nodded and did not say a word.
Once the master and servant pair had finished cleaning up, Senior Servant Wei and Senior Servant Liu came to deliver the food. Bi Tao received the food, and after exchanging a few words of pleasantries, he entered the house. Ming Liu, on the other hand, had sent the two senior servants over to the room where Qing Luo had stayed previously to talk.
“The two mothers agreed, but they were a little worried. They said that if the prince were to blame, I would beg the Empress to help them out with a few words.” Ming Liu said happily to Qin Nuo.
Qin Nuo glared at Ming Liu.
“You must have said something like ‘Your Highness will change his mind’ in front of others!”
“None… “No …” Although Ming Liu denied it, she still couldn’t help but stick out her tongue. But in just a moment, she had regained her self-confidence. Actually, Wei’s mother was in charge of the kitchen. Originally, she didn’t need to personally deliver the gifts, and Liu’s mother didn’t need to come as well. All she needed to do was send a young person over. But the two of them want to do it themselves, which in itself is respecting the Empress! ”
It would be weird if he didn’t respect the way you brainwashed him when you had nothing better to do! Qin Nuo could not help but curse silently.
To be honest, she really liked Ming Liu’s personality. In her original space, she was also very gossipy, especially when she liked gossip and gossip about celebrities. In this era, there were no famous celebrities who could only consider the most eye-catching people in their lives to be celebrities. However, life was different from chasing after a star. One mistake could lead to trouble.
Fortunately, although Ming Liu was gossiping, she knew her limits. She had never discussed Jing Shuyi, Zhuo Tao and the other Kikuji with anyone else. At most, she would speak about it in front of her and Peaches, and even Ying He would rarely hear anything about it. Therefore, Qin Nuo did not remind Ming Liu specifically.
Speaking and befriending others was originally her pleasure, if she was kept under control, she would definitely feel extremely stifled.
The three of them naturally did not eat that food and only drank a few mouthfuls of water from some snacks. In the evening, Senior Servant Wei and Senior Servant Liu brought the rice and salt over, along with a few dishes. He also told Ming Liu that they had already taken part of the money the Empress had given them to make up for the losses.
When Ming Liu reported this to Qin Nuo, she secretly nodded her head. The two mama were also very cautious. This way, the other people in the kitchen wouldn’t know that they had secretly delivered items over.
Right now, she was only waiting for news from Old Fifteen.
The next day, Qin Nuo had just gotten up and had not even eaten breakfast when Old Fifteen came over with a box in her hand. After entering the courtyard, she saw Qin Nuo wearing a cape and walking back and forth.
“third Sister-in-Law, aren’t you cold?”
“A little.” Qin Nuo replied with a smile. But no matter how cold it is, I can’t just stay in bed all day. Otherwise, if I don’t get killed by someone, I’ll be too lazy to continue sleeping! ”
“third Sister-in-Law!” “The gaze Old Fifteen used to look at Qin Nuo was filled with worship. You’re too awesome! You are still so calm even when you know that someone is trying to harm you. ”
“I’m guessing, since the poison isn’t that strong, there’s no need for the antidote, as long as we don’t use it slowly. But you! Have you done all the things I asked you to do? ”
“It’s all done.” As he spoke, Old Fifteen pulled out a package from his sleeve. third Sister-in-Law, look, I even brought back a bag. ”
“Give this bag to your third brother.” Qin Nuo bent down and whispered a few words into Old Fifteen’s ears. “Ol ‘Fifteen nodded solemnly and looked around.” What happened to those two girls? I’ve already been here for a while, and no one has come to take it! ”
“Give it to me!” Qin Nuo really could not hold back the smile on his face. “The two of them are cooking porridge in the kitchen. I’m afraid their faces are covered in dirt and they are flustered and exasperated. They almost burnt the house down!”
Qin Nuo had thought that girls like Bi Tao and Ming Liu, who were diligent in their work and looking at others’ eyes, would have already made porridge before she even woke up. However, the truth was that they didn’t stammer as they asked her how she was going to cook the porridge until they had helped her wash her face and rinse her mouth.
“No way!” Qin Nuo felt that it was just too exaggerated. Do you not cook in the kitchenette when you serve your master? ”
“I’ve done it before!” Ming Liu immediately replied. But the food in the kitchen doesn’t need Servants to do anything. ”
Fine! Qin Nuo was actually at a loss for words. Thinking back to last time when they were forced to the Qinxin, the food they used, was all lured here by Ming Liu from the kitchen. It was already rare for the two girls to be able to boil water, so he couldn’t count on them to boil more.
Qin Nuo explained the method to make the porridge to them. The two girls were very fresh, and were eager to give it a try, but in the end, under Ming Liu’s shock, Bi Tao did not have the time to accompany her for a walk. She also ran to the kitchen, but she still had not come out.
“If even the little girl in the courtyard is so delicate, there’s no need to talk about a real lady. Come to think of it, it would be hard to make soup for your third brother for the young miss of Wei Guo Mansion. ” Qin Nuo smiled and reached out to grab the box in Old Fifteen’s hand.
“I’ll take it in!” As he spoke, Old Fifteen picked up the box of food on the floor and walked into the house. It’s not only a snack, there’s also porridge and vegetables that Third Brother, Eighth Brother and I haven’t finished yet. third Sister-in-Law will eat while it’s still hot. They were untouched and very clean. Third Brother heard that I asked my men to leave these things behind, but he didn’t stop me. He also knew that I was going to send them here, so when he went out with Eighth Brother, he intentionally said, “Don’t wait for the cold!” Actually, he was rather concerned about the third Sister-in-Law! third Sister-in-Law is also very concerned about Third Brother, isn’t it? Otherwise, how would we know that Third Brother has been in a bad mood these past two days, and that concubine had personally brewed soup for him? ”
As Old Fifteen spoke, he lined up the food box. When he turned around, he saw that Qin Nuo did not follow him in, and thus could not help but act like a little adult. It seemed like what he said just now was all for nothing!
