As Xu Rouzhi had expected, on the morning of the second day, when Bi Su went to fetch some water for Xu Rouzhi to wash her face, she heard news from the water room about Tang Yuan and that man surnamed Xu who had escaped from the Duke's Palace that very night.

Bi Su was stunned!

Xu Rouzhi slept well and refused to eat breakfast. When Bi Su called her, she only waved her hand and turned over while muttering, "Let me sleep a bit more."

It was already noon, and Xu Rouzhi finally flipped over and opened her eyes, yawning.

Bi Su hurriedly carried her clothes over. "Princess Huo Wu sure sleeps soundly!"

"That's right!" Xu Rouzhi looked at the sky outside and stretched her back happily. During the two years she had attended the military academy, getting up from bed and sleeping until noon had been her and her friends' greatest wish!

Bi Su helped Xu Rouzhi put on her clothes. "It's already cold at lunch, I want to wake up Princess Hua-Yang to eat, but I'm afraid that I'll disturb Princess Hua-Yang's sweet dream."

Xu Rouzhi comforted her: "It's alright, I'm full now, and I don't feel hungry at all."

Bi Su hesitated, wondering if her words would affect her good mood. However, this matter had been weighing on her mind for the entire morning, so she couldn't not vomit. Suppressing her voice, Bi Su said in a low voice, "Princess Hua-Yang's guess was right. The two of them, Tang Yuan, escaped from the Duke's Mansion."

"Is that so?" Xu Rouzhi laughed, "It doesn't matter, I already know who did this in my heart."

Bi Su thought about it, even if they found out the truth, so what? The King would definitely protect the Mrs. Su and the Mrs. Sang, and not do anything to them.

At this time, the butler Lin came in and peeked out the door. Seeing that Xu Rouzhi had already woken up to comb his hair, she immediately smiled apologetically and said, "Princess Huang has calculated it well, bring her the lunch!"

Thus, the servants of the manor filed into the room and brought up a table, placing a plate of delicate dishes onto the table.

Xu Rouzhi glanced at the dining table from the copper mirror: "Yo, very rich!"

Uncle Lin's face was full of smiles, but his enthusiasm was not too polite. "Your highness was worried that Princess Hua-Yang had frostbite yesterday, so you specifically ordered the kitchen to prepare some nourishing delicacies to nourish her body."

"Prince is so considerate! "However, Prince was not in a good condition last night. Is he feeling better today?"

"After the doctor's consultation last night, I feel much better."

"That's good." Xu Rouzhi sat at the dining table, picked up her chopsticks, and picked up one of the dishes, "What dish is this?"

Uncle Lin immediately walked up and Xu Rouzhi always reported the name of the dish in a low voice, "This is First Pin Bear Palm, Stewed Crab Powder, Crystal Hornfish Heel, West Lake Jellyfish, Stewed Fish Wings, Snowflake Chicken, Golden Longevity, Rays of Dawn, and this soup is for Meat Mouthy Fish Lips …"

Xu Rouzhi nodded her head: "The dishes are very particular, the names of the dishes are also not bad!"

— Xu Rouzhi had never heard of any of these dishes before!

The smile still remained on Uncle Lin's face, "Yes, they are all famous dishes of various cuisines. Even in the palace, you wouldn't be able to eat them everyday! The chef was already up and preparing the ingredients before daybreak. He also bought the ingredients on the spot. They're both delicious and greatly nutritious. "

"Is that so?" Xu Rouzhi picked up a piece of Golden Longevity Fruit, "There's no poison in this dish, right?"

Uncle Lin was startled, then immediately laughed: "Princess, you must be joking!"

Xu Rouzhi put down her chopsticks, "Forget it! Bi Su, you should go to the Drunken Immortal Tavern and buy me some almond cake. I have not eaten almond cake for a long time, I really miss it. "

Bi Su immediately agreed. "Yes, Royal Concubine."

Xu Rouzhi looked at Bi Su, meaning to bring back the medical manual. Of course Bi Su understood and nodded, then left.

Uncle Lin was stunned. What, what kind of situation is this, that the wangfei is really not willing to eat it? The previous wangfei was not like this!

Chu Yixuan's cold voice came from outside the room's door, "What, so much imperial food isn't fit for your taste?"

Uncle Lin immediately bowed respectfully. "Your Highness."

Chu Yixuan slowly walked in from outside and took off his woolen coat. Uncle Lin took it and held it in his arms. Yang Yixuan, who was wearing a simple green robe, had a cold expression on his face as he silently sat down at the table.

He did not look at Xu Rouzhi, and picked up the chopsticks on the table, silently taking a bite of the dish. He ate two mouthfuls of each dish, slowly chewing on them.

Xu Rouzhi looked at him: "To think that Your Highness would personally test it, how could I dare to accept you as his lowly concubine?"

Chu Yixuan put down his chopsticks, "This dish does not have poison. The taste is still very good. "

Uncle Lin immediately broke into a smile: "This is all done in accordance to the way the palace works, the taste should be about the same."

Chu Yixuan nodded his head: "Even the imperial chef only cooked this way."

Xu Rouzhi lightly fiddled with the corner of her skirt, "Listening to your words, it seems like I'm making a ruckus without reason."

"It's fine." Chu Yixuan raised the corner of his eyebrows. "No matter what, this king is still a prince. This king's consort, has the qualifications to cause trouble without reason."

Xu Rouzhi giggled, "Is this the reason why your two concubines are so arrogant?"

Chu Yixuan sighed, "They don't know what's good for them. In the future, the Royal Concubine will educate them more, and after that, the Royal Concubine will be magnanimous. Don't bother about it anymore!"

"From the looks of it, I am too embarrassed to care about it now!" Xu Rouzhi picked up her chopsticks, "Alright, I'll eat."

"I have neglected your consort before. From now on, I will make up for it with all my might." Although he said these extremely gentle words, the corner of Chu Yixuan's lips did not have the slightest hint of a smile on it.

"Is that so?" Xu Rouzhi looked up at Chu Yixuan, "Your highness is giving out sweets now, are you making it difficult for me to care about the matter of the two people missing?"

"Since the wangfei has heard of this as well, then there's no need for This King to repeat it."

Xu Rouzhi put down her chopsticks, "To your highness, the innocence of your wangfei doesn't seem to be important at all!"

"Of course it's important."

"Then why didn't you check the results after such a big incident?"

Chu Yixuan silently stared at Xu Rouzhi for a long time before he slowly said: "Because, I believe in Royal Concubine."

He finally no longer called himself This King!

Xu Rouzhi shrugged, "You really believe in me? Reason? "

Chu Yixuan stared at Xu Rouzhi: "If you were to say that in these past two years, I had been secretly paying attention to you, would you believe me?"

Xu Rouzhi fearlessly met Chu Yixuan's gaze and also looked at him closely. After a long while, she nodded and said, "If you didn't pay attention to me in secret, then I wouldn't believe you!"

Chu Yixuan moved closer, and with a frown, he stared at Xu Rouzhi. "Is the current wangfei the one in her most genuine state?"

Ha! Xu Rouzhi laughed.

"What is the wangfei laughing at?" Chu Yixuan remained calm and collected, but his eyes became colder and colder.

"Is Your Highness trying to remind me that I'm no longer being bullied and that my situation has become dangerous?"

"Of course not." Chu Yixuan retracted his gaze and slowly stood up. Uncle Lin quickly draped a woolen cloak over Chu Yixuan's body. Chu Yixuan's face revealed a rare smile. "This king means that this king likes Princess Hua-Yang even more."

Bullshit! Xu Rouzhi wanted to say who cares if you like me or not!

Chu Yixuan turned around and limped slowly towards the door.

Outside the door, the snowstorm was not stopping. Chu Yixuan's figure quickly disappeared into the snow.

Uncle Lin closed the door for Xu Rouzhi. The sound of the wind stopped outside the door and onto a warm fire.

Xu Rouzhi sat down by the side of the table and listened to the voice. Only then did she pick up the chopsticks and taste each dish twice. It really tasted good!

As such, Xu Rouzhi continued to gulp down the food until her stomach was round, she rubbed her stomach and leaned back on her chair, thinking about the days ahead. She still did not know what kind of difficulties she would face in the future.

If she could travel back to modern times, she would open a restaurant. Yes, it would be called the royal kitchen! Make all these dishes according to the taste. Business is booming!

In the pavilion across them, Su Leyao and Sang Woruo welcomed Xu Rouzhi happily when they saw that she had finally come out from her room.

"How is it, my lord? Did she suspect me and Voror? " Su Leyao asked.

"She probably won't pursue this matter any further." Chu Yixuan said lightly.

"Ah, will she really give up just like that?" Sang Woruo said doubtfully, "I feel that she has already guessed that Big Sister Su and I were the ones who did it last night."

"Of course she knows." Chu Yixuan said coldly, "You are all trying your best! And you even made a fool of yourself in front of the crown prince, so that people could clearly see our intentions. "

Su Leyao lowered her head in shame: "I also don't know how this bitch Xu Rouzhi became so smart."

"That's right!" Sang Woruo said angrily, "Seems like she was pretending to be submissive in the past! This woman is too hypocritical. The next time we attack, we must be even more ruthless and powerful.

Chu Yixuan frowned, "Do you want to come next time?"

Sang Woruo was startled: "Didn't the Duke also not want to keep her by his side?"

Chu Yixuan said with a cold face, "Don't act blindly without my permission!"

Sang Woruo opened her mouth, but no words came out. She looked at Su Leyao, then looked at Chu Yixuan, and lowered her head in grievance.

Chu Yixuan went to the pharmacy.

Sang Woruo and Su Leyao stood in the same spot silently, watching Chu Yixuan's figure disappear into the wind and snow. The two green-clothed servants had already followed along, following behind Chu Yixuan. Although Chu Yixuan who was walking in front had a limp, he had a noble aura, no one dared to oppose him.

Sang Woruo was a little dejected: "Elder sister, why isn't the king letting Xu Rouzhi go? Why do I feel like the prince has taken a fancy to Xu Rouzhi? "

Su Leyao frowned: "Impossible!"

"But I feel …"

"If I say it's impossible, then it's impossible!"

Su Leyao's voice was filled with anger as she turned around and left.

It wasn't that it was impossible for Chu Yixuan to love Xu Rouzhi, but she definitely wouldn't allow that possibility to happen!

How could the Prince fall in love with a woman who had been ordered to watch him?

Sang Woruo turned around gloomily and returned to his room as well. She turned and looked at Xu Rouzhi's room. She didn't know why, but Sang Woruo felt that the Wang Residence would not have many peaceful days in the future anyway.
