A whole day passed in the blink of an eye, and no one from Luochen Palace had appeared yet. Looking around this huge palace, only Yu Qianqian and Meng Fulin were sitting and standing quietly.
She leaned against the window, gazing at the blooming flowers outside, and unconsciously fell into deep thought; now that Su Ruan had completely lost her way to survival, even if she was still barely clinging to life, it was time for all of this to come to an end.
Now that she had done what she needed to do, there was no need for her to stay here and continue to entangle with Mu Beichen.
As she was lost in thought, she didn't realize when Meng Fulin had gone out. When she turned around, she saw him carrying a tray full of delicious dishes.
"Your Majesty...it's time for your meal." Meng Fulin carried the dishes to the table one by one, his eyes filled with a smile as he looked at Yu Qianqian, warm and kind: "Your Majesty, may I take a look and see if any of the dishes suit your taste today?"
Yu Qianqian turned her head to look, and Meng Fulin stood three feet away from her, his face beaming with a smile as bright as spring sunshine. His demeanor was elegant, and he exuded the air of a noble family. Even in his eunuch's robes, he was dressed in a unique way.
She had never seen that face before, yet she always inexplicably felt a familiar tenderness emanating from him.
For a fleeting moment, she realized that the little eunuch's voice truly resembled the white-clad man who had appeared in her dream.
"Yes, I'm hungry too." Yu Qianqian replied without hesitation, walked over and sat down. While eating, she glanced at Meng Fulin and asked, "I heard that you were recently sent here by the Emperor. Besides that, did he tell you anything else?"
Upon hearing this, Meng Fulin was slightly lost in thought. After a moment's thought, he said, "Actually, His Majesty didn't give any specific instructions. He only asked me to take good care of Your Highness. But I can tell that His Majesty seems to care about you very much..."
"Hmph! What a joke!" Yu Qianqian glanced at Meng Fulin's cautious gaze, and the mention of this made her even more irritated. "What else does he care about besides the throne?"
After Yu Qianqian finished speaking, she stuffed a big mouthful of meat into her mouth. Her fierce expression was almost as if she were about to devour a person.
But before she could even swallow her food, she suddenly heard a high-pitched, distant shout from outside the door: "His Majesty has arrived—"
Upon hearing that voice, she immediately lost her appetite, threw her bowl and chopsticks aside, and noticed that the man was walking straight up from behind her. She simply turned her head away, not even glancing at him.
Mu Beichen could also see that Yu Qianqian was deliberately giving him a sour face, clearly indicating that she didn't want to see him. However, he still felt that Yu Qianqian's current bad attitude was just because she was acting out of spite, and that she would choose to come back to him afterward, just as he couldn't live without her.
Step by step, Mu Beichen carefully walked to Yu Qianqian's side, leaned in close to her, and forced a smile: "Little Qian'er, is the food delicious today?"
Yu Qianqian seemed not to hear anything, turning her face away and glancing at the wall and the ground, but refusing to look at him.
Having finally made up his mind to take the initiative to find her, Mu Beichen was unwilling to give up so easily. Even though he was met with Yu Qianqian's cold treatment, he still patiently tried to please her: "You used to feel nauseous whenever you saw these dishes. I was thinking that it might be because the new chefs were not very good at cooking. But I heard from everyone that you have a good appetite recently, so I came here to verify if it is true."
"I don't feel disgusted by these dishes, but I feel disgusted by you!" Yu Qianqian suddenly turned around and looked at him, her impatience obvious, and her tone unusually cold.
