Chapter 194 The Emperor Vomits Blood, the Imperial Chef Gazes Coldly

Well……

Seeing Xiao Xingyuan's sullen expression, Ling Xiao hesitated for a moment before speaking the truth: "Actually, all women in the world are very unreasonable. It's just that you are the emperor, so you can't understand. But it's not a big deal. You just need to have a good talk. Why did you get so angry that you vomited blood?"

"You wouldn't understand. Just for a servant, she's acting so recklessly with me. I... I've been too lenient with her!"

Xiao Xingyuan was a chosen one of heaven. He had never been so ignored since birth. His pride did not allow him to bow his head at this moment, nor did it allow him to be cowardly.

Seeing this, Ling Xiao understood that this matter was clearly more serious than he had thought.

Left with no other choice, Ling Xiao could only nod, prescribe the medicine, and then silently go to the imperial kitchen to find Meng Yanzhi.

Meng Yanzhi was feeling wronged and angry, and she wouldn't even give Xiao Xingyuan a friendly look, let alone Ling Xiao.

When Meng Yanzhi saw Ling Xiao, her expression changed, but she didn't say anything and just kept busy with the things she was doing.

"You angered the Emperor so much that he vomited blood, do you know that?"

Ling Xiao walked over, casually found a small stool to sit on, and looked at Meng Yanzhi with some curiosity.

Meng Yanzhi paused for a moment, then spoke coldly, "What, has the Imperial Advisor come here to interrogate me? Are you going to kill me, or what?"

That's not what I meant!

"I just want to say, why do you resent His Majesty? You should know that this matter was not His Majesty's fault in the first place!"

Ling Xiao looked at Meng Yanzhi in confusion. He understood that Meng Yanzhi was sad and upset, but he really couldn't understand why Meng Yanzhi would take her anger out on Xiao Xingyuan.

“I do not resent His Majesty. If he does not help me, I will naturally find a way myself.”

"only……"

Meng Yanzhi felt a bit annoyed and angrily threw down the dough in her hand.

She gritted her teeth and looked at Ling Xiao sitting behind her: "I don't know why, I'm just angry, I'm just unhappy, I'm just furious. He could have avenged me with just one word, but he wouldn't. He... he thinks that only a servant died, that it doesn't matter!"

“Eunuch Wang is so good to me. He is my master and treats me well in every way. He is of utmost importance to me, but he is not important to His Majesty!” Meng Yanzhi said these words almost without thinking.

But after she finished speaking, Meng Yanzhi realized that she was being unreasonable.

No matter how important Eunuch Wang was to her, to Xiao Xingyuan he was just an insignificant servant. She really shouldn't expect an emperor to care about a servant.

Are you jealous?

"If it were your father or someone else who killed Eunuch Wang, would you be this angry?"

"You think that His Majesty isn't indifferent to Eunuch Wang, but rather too concerned about Consort Ling, so you're angry and jealous, right?"

Ling Xiao immediately stood up, as if he had discovered something extraordinary, and stared intently at Meng Yanzhi.

These words, like a spear, pierced the deepest, most hidden part of Meng Yanzhi's heart.

She suddenly became somewhat embarrassed and angry, and shoved Ling Xiao away: "Get out! Stop talking nonsense here and get out!"

"you……"

"You really are jealous!"

"Oh dear, if that's the case, I'm relieved. I thought it was just the Emperor's unrequited love, but I didn't expect that you also like him!"

"Haha, I'll be going now!"

"You're jealous, aren't you? Take your time, it's a good thing, a good thing!"

Ling Xiao laughed wildly, staring at Meng Yanzhi with murderous eyes, and left happily.

Watching Ling Xiao's retreating figure and listening to his words, Meng Yanzhi felt even more enraged. She grabbed her twin knives and began chopping minced meat, as if only in this way could she vent her anger.

In the evening, each palace had a dish of Four Happiness Meatballs, and one taste was enough to tell that it was Meng Yanzhi's flavor.

Consort Liu finished all the four-happiness meatballs on the table, then wiped her mouth and smiled, saying, "This Meng Yanzhi must be really angry. But that's fine, from now on I can eat her cooking every day."

"Your Majesty, won't you try to persuade him?" Coral looked at Consort Liu with some concern. "His Majesty is lying in bed. What will happen to him if this continues?"

Consort Liu picked up her teacup, took a sip, and then said in a low voice, "The two of them are having a tiff. Even if others go to persuade them, what can they do? I'm not going."

She was finally able to enjoy a few peaceful days in the harem; she must be crazy to have run into it herself.

"As for the harem, everyone is now restless and eager to make a move. I should really keep an eye on things."

"The crabapple blossoms in this courtyard are about to bloom. I will hold a banquet. I will have Meng Yanzhi come to the palace tomorrow to give my report."

Consort Liu put away her languid expression and became serious.

The next day, early morning.

After finishing her breakfast preparations, Meng Yanzhi changed into a new outfit and went to Consort Liu's palace.

"This humble woman pays her respects to Your Highness, the Noble Consort."

Consort Liu looked at Meng Yanzhi, whose expression was normal, and she couldn't see anything wrong with her. Consort Liu breathed a sigh of relief.

She smiled and said to Meng Yanzhi, "Get up quickly. I called you here to discuss something with you. I'm planning to hold a flower-viewing banquet, so I need to discuss the dishes with you!"

"The crabapple blossoms in the Imperial Garden are in full bloom, so I'm planning to use them in cooking. That way, we can enjoy the flowers and taste the flavor of crabapple blossoms. What do you think?" Meng Yanzhi immediately came up with an idea. She looked at Consort Liu with a smile and said, "If it's three days from now, I can also make vinegar. Vinegar made with crabapple blossoms has an exceptionally good flavor!"

Consort Liu had never heard of crabapple blossoms being edible before.

Hearing this, she immediately became happy, nodded and said, "That's wonderful. May I try these dishes first?"

"Yes, I can make arrangements as soon as I get back." Meng Yanzhi nodded immediately: "I just need to borrow some manpower to pick more crabapple blossoms."

"Coral, you and the people from our palace follow Miss Meng and do your work well." Consort Liu immediately agreed and instructed her subordinates to cooperate with Meng Yanzhi.

Meng Yanzhi rose and bowed, saying, "This humble woman thanks Your Highness, the Noble Consort."

Consort Liu originally wanted to ask her about her relationship with Xiao Xingyuan, but seeing her like this, she couldn't bring herself to ask. In desperation, she could only wave her hand and say, "Be careful."

"Yes, I understand."

Meng Yanzhi smiled slightly, and with Shanhu in tow, strode outside.
