Chapter 353: Not Eating
"Hey, you idiot Xiao Huang, I'm not saying anything mean to you, but why are you just like those evil mothers-in-law from wealthy families who always look for trouble? It's a sin, it's really a sin."
Demon Emperor: Me? The evil mother-in-law? You really have a way with metaphors.
"Well, Lord Demon King, that's not the case. Don't listen to that idiot. It's really not the case. I really don't mean to sow discord between you and your spouse. On the contrary, I'm doing this for your own good."
"I just want you to be safe. Otherwise, who would I follow in the future? Um... could you please stop looking at me like that? I'm a little... a little scared."
"You haven't eaten yet?"
"What...what?" The Demon Emperor looked at Xiao Yulan in confusion.
"I'm asking if you haven't started eating yet."
"Yes...I haven't eaten yet. Not a single bite. As soon as I sat down, I heard that little idiot Jin chattering away. And...I haven't had time to eat yet."
Xiao Yulan stood up and grabbed a certain emperor by the back of his neck and walked out: "It's a good thing you didn't eat. Otherwise, if you vomit, I will feel very sick, and the servants will have to clean up."
After a while, the screams of a certain emperor crying for his parents were heard from the courtyard outside.
Looking at Bu Ruo who was eating quietly, Jin Congcong asked with concern: "Ruo'er, you and the prince..."
"I don't mean anything else. I'm just afraid that guy will say something nonsense in front of the prince, and I'm afraid that the prince will misunderstand you."
Bu Ruo waved her hand and said, "The relationship between the prince and I is not something you can understand. Don't even think that Xiao Huang is talking nonsense. Even if I say it myself, you won't believe it."
The little girl nodded. "Even though I can't see clearly, I know one thing: my father and mother were destined to be together. It's just like what's written in the storybook. The relationship between father and mother is...the kind that wants them to die together."
Bi'er beside her asked curiously, "How are you supposed to read the storybook when you haven't even learned all the characters yet? Besides, we didn't bring any storybooks with us when we were out there."
The little girl shook her head and said, "We don't have any here, but there are some in the beautiful grandmother's study. In the beautiful grandmother's study, there are not only books about fighting, but also several bookshelves of storybooks."
"After teaching us, the beautiful grandmother would watch us practice while reading the storybook. Sometimes she would giggle with joy, and sometimes she would get so angry that she would hit Master Jun a few times. Master Jun said that when the beautiful grandmother read the storybook, she would be like the crazy concubine in the cold palace, with a changing expression every now and then."
"One time, the beautiful grandmother was so angry about some storybook she was reading that she didn't even eat and kept looking at the steps for a long time. From then on, the beautiful grandmother would watch us practice while reading the storybook to us."
"Master Jun initially refused, saying that the beautiful grandmother would teach the child bad things. But the beautiful grandmother said that teaching the child bad things was better than crying loudly at the hands of others in the future."
"Later, Master Jun persuaded her a few times and somehow he finally got better. Then he stopped trying to stop the beautiful mother-in-law and continued to read the storybook to us."
Xiao Jin: "Because Grandmaster Jun said that if my sister is really schemed against by others one day and cries loudly, the beautiful mother-in-law will probably be so distressed that she will turn this world upside down, so I just let the beautiful mother-in-law go."
Bu Ruo: ...
She had learned her habit of reading storybooks from that woman, and she had never expected that the woman would even tell them to her daughter...
Oh... never mind, let her be.
After a long time, Xiao Yulan came back refreshed, followed by a dirty and dusty emperor.
"Hey, Uncle Ugly, you're really ugly. You've gained a lot of weight. Why don't you go see Grandpa Du? Grandpa Du's ointment is very effective."
A certain emperor gasped in pain, and seeing the look in Xiao Yulan's eyes, he waved his hands in fear: "Hiss... No, no, Uncle Chou is fine, hiss... It will be fine in a few days."
"Hiss...they're just superficial injuries. There's nothing wrong with the inside. Don't worry."
"You guys...you guys eat. I can't open my mouth wide, so I won't eat for now. I still have some spiritual power, so I won't starve to death if I don't eat for a day or two."
Guo Lu looked at the emperor's limping back and snorted, "You deserve it! Why didn't I beat you to death? I let you say bad things about the princess last night."
These past two days, Xiao Yulan was so busy that she only had time to accompany them for dinner, and the rest of the time she was in the study.
That night, Xu Xiangdie finally took action.
"princess……"
Bu Ruo opened the door and looked at Cen Bei standing at the door and burst out laughing: "Well, hahahaha, um... if you have anything to say, tell me."
Cen Bei pointed expressionlessly at the hairpin on her head that was adorned with pearls and gemstones: "Princess, the hairpin Miss Guo Lu gave me has changed color."
Guo Lu, who was carrying a wash basin, saw the ring on Bu Ruo's hand turn red and immediately stepped forward: "Princess, do you feel uncomfortable? The ring's color change proves that there is poison nearby."
Bu Ruo pointed to the hem of her skirt and said, "Here, when I was coming back from a walk just now, a little girl accidentally spilled some soup on me. She said she wanted to send it to the Xianshi people."
Guo Lu was shocked: "Princess, why didn't you tell me earlier? You knew there was something wrong with the soup, so why didn't you change your dress?"
"Those foul drugs in the Beining harem are still effective even after washing. They take several days to wear off because they are colorless and odorless, so even the imperial physician can't detect them."
"Come on, let's go in quickly. I'll go and help you change into a new one. If you don't want this one anymore, just throw it away. I have plenty of money. Tomorrow I'll go out and buy you a better one."
Bu Ruo laughed at Guo Lu's words to comfort the child, patted her hand and said soothingly: "Don't worry, those things are useless to me and the prince. Look, the hairpin on Cen Bei's head has changed color, and the prince is fine."
"Besides, if I change my clothes now, how can they still fall for it? Don't worry, I will show you a good show later."
"Mom, what's good to watch?" As soon as Bu Ruo finished speaking, the little girl came running, panting.
"Mom, are you okay? Bubu suddenly felt uncomfortable and wanted to come to see mom. Brother seemed to feel something too. Aunt Meiying took him to dad's study."
After receiving Bu Ruo's gaze, Cen Bei immediately disappeared from the spot. When the prince saw the hairpin change color, he knew something had happened. He was afraid that the princess would be worried, so he asked him to come over and tell her.
Bu Ruo glanced at a dark place outside and brought a few people into the room. After a while, Guo Lu sent the little girl and Bier out.
"Since mother said she is tired today, I will not disturb her and let her rest early."
"By the way, Aunt Lu, Bubu has been learning embroidery recently and there's a part she can't get right. Aunt Lu, could you go and help Bubu take a look?"
