This is a punishment for human traffickers.

It lasted for a full seven days before it ended.

Even if the human traffickers are already dead.

The people did not stop there.

The corpse was whipped, burned, and its bones were crushed and scattered to the winds—none of these were omitted.

Ye Xiaochuan originally intended to collect his father's body.

But in the end.

The body was gone too.

Ye Xiaochuan could only erect a cenotaph for Ye Ren.

Ye Ling was grateful for Ye Xiaochuan's filial piety and his refusal to collude with his father.

He was not implicated in the case.

He was still allowed to inherit the title of Prince Ji.

And during this period of time.

According to the method that Ye Ling had previously provided to the Imperial Kitchen.

Pure sweet potato starch without any additives is now ready.

The imperial kitchen prepared a variety of dishes according to Ye Ling's instructions.

There are various types of vermicelli, including braised pork with vermicelli, cold vermicelli salad, stir-fried vermicelli, hot pot vermicelli, grilled vermicelli, and hot and sour vermicelli.

Ye Ling tasted everything.

He nodded.

"No matter how these glass noodles are cooked, they'll always taste good!"

"Are those dried vermicelli noodles still preserved?"

"Your Majesty, as per your instructions, the dried vermicelli has always been kept in a cool, well-ventilated, and dry place."

"This servant can see that there are no mold spots, so it's a dried product that's easy to preserve, just like wood ear mushrooms."

"Soak it in warm water and it will expand and soften, then you can cook it however you like."

Ye Ling nodded.

"In that case, let's spread this method among the people."

"It's already winter, and the sweet potatoes in people's homes are piled up like small mountains."

"Eating steamed or boiled sweet potatoes every day is not a long-term solution."

"A monotonous diet can easily lead to boredom over time."

"If you cook it in a different way, it can be quite delicious."

The head chef of the imperial kitchen nodded.

"yes."

"The Emperor's compassion for the people is truly a blessing for all."

...

Ye Ling quickly spread the method of making sweet potato starch to the people.

At the beginning.

The common people were also surprised.

"Can sweet potatoes, a root vegetable, really be processed into other foods?"

"Didn't the notice say that His Majesty has already eaten it and that it was delicious?"

"We never get to eat much of what's served in the palace, but now we get to eat the same things as the Emperor. This is an act of great imperial grace."

"I'll go back and get all the sweet potatoes from my house, and make them into sweet potato noodles according to the Emperor's method."

In an instant.

The entire Great Yuan City.

Everyone started making sweet potato noodles.

Sweet potatoes need to be transformed into chewy vermicelli.

It is a process that takes a lot of time.

You can't rush things.

In order to enjoy different kinds of delicious food.

The people are working very patiently.

Inside the Great Yuan Palace.

Ye Qianqian is already able to slowly crawl forward with her butt sticking out.

Xu Qingzhi watched Ye Qianqian's hard work.

He said with a smile.

"Qianqian learns really fast. It won't be long before she can sit up."

Consort Jin nodded.

"yes."

"Sister Xu, is Mo Chi still in the palace?"

Xu Qingzhi nodded.

"Yes, that surprises me quite a bit."

"He has always preferred to be alone and likes to roam the world."

"I have never liked being restrained, and I especially dislike being in this deep palace."

"This time, however, I stayed in the palace for such a long time."

"If you say it's for someone else, I don't believe it."

"He has no attachments, and there is no one in this palace worth staying for."

"This makes me uneasy, I'm afraid he has some ulterior motives."

"If it is detrimental to the Emperor, then it is no small matter."

Consort Jin frowned.

"After the Emperor met Mo Chi, he asked him if he would be willing to serve as a royal bodyguard, but Mo Chi refused."

"The emperor asked him what kind of job he wanted in the palace, but he had no answer."

"His thoughts are really hard to fathom."

At that very moment.

Exhausted from climbing, Ye Qianqian lay down on the bed.

[Oh my god, what did I just see?!]

[I foresaw that in an hour, Mo Chi would be taking his sword to the Hall of Mental Cultivation!]

Upon hearing this, Xu Qingzhi's heart leaped into her throat.

Could it be?

Is Mo Chi planning to assassinate the Emperor?!

However, I'm not going to assassinate my father!

Xu Qingzhi breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as they pose no threat to the emperor, that's fine.

He went there to kill the Imperial Uncle!

Xu Qingzhi's heart jumped again!

To kill the Third Imperial Uncle?!

Why did Mo Chi kill the Third Imperial Uncle?!

Xu Qingzhi immediately stood up and went out.

Because Mo Chi saved Ye Mu when he was in Huaxing Village.

Ye Ling then allowed Mo Chi to move freely within the palace.

Mo Chi quickly went to the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Ye Ling and Ye Xin were discussing state affairs.

After Gao Yong issued the report.

Ye Ling quickly let Mo Chi in.

Mo Chi walked in.

He leaped and landed in front of Ye Xin.

He drew his sword and aimed it at his throat!

Ye Ling immediately stood up.

"Mo Chi, what are you doing?!"

Ye Xin remained calm and unhurried.

"You want to kill me?"

"yes."

"Why?"

"Because you deserve to die."

"Whether I deserve to die is for His Majesty to decide."

"You and the Emperor are family, so the Emperor will naturally protect you."

"Then, did you see me protecting Prince Ji?" Ye Ling retorted.
