Chapter 301 Assassination of the Empress? The Crown Prince Angrily Slaps His Own Sister!
Zang Shui's expression was initially quite mild, but upon hearing these words, it immediately changed. His eyebrows furrowed tightly as he glared at Zhang Xuanyun with displeasure: "What do you mean?"
"It's nothing, just a piece of advice for His Highness the Crown Prince."
"My Empress's culinary skills are unparalleled, so please, Your Highness, have a good taste and cherish this opportunity."
Zhang Xuanyun smiled faintly, giving him a gentle rebuff without being humble or arrogant.
Knowing he was no match for Zhang Xuanyun, Zang Shui didn't say anything more, but just glanced towards the kitchen.
After becoming empress, Meng Yanzhi rarely cooked for herself anymore. After all, as the mother of the nation, she couldn't always be around the stove. But in fact, Meng Yanzhi really loved cooking and felt happy when she was cooking.
Watching Meng Yanzhi busy at work, Zhao Bailu felt a pang of envy: "Yanzhi, your cooking skills are really amazing. Sometimes I'm so envious of you. By the way, Gu Hanyue loves gourd chicken the most. Your gourd chicken is the best. Can you teach me how to make it? I want to make it for him myself!"
Hearing this, Meng Yanzhi was a little surprised. She tilted her head and looked at Zhao Bailu with a smile: "Didn't you always say that you didn't like cooking? Why are you cooking now?"
“He is so obedient to me, he gives me so much, he is so good to me. I want to repay him, but he has nothing. So I thought I would learn how to make this gourd chicken and cook it for him myself.” Zhao Bailu blushed and smiled gently.
In the past, Zhao Bailu would always speak of this person with a fierce and angry expression, but now, when she mentions him, her face is full of tenderness, and it's clear that she is immersed in happiness.
Seeing Zhao Bailu like this, Meng Yanzhi finally breathed a sigh of relief. She smiled slightly and pinched Zhao Bailu's cheek: "Okay, then I'll make a gourd chicken for lunch today. Take a close look, okay?"
As she spoke, Meng Yanzhi began to clean up the chicken.
Watching Meng Yanzhi's actions, Zhao Bailu also smiled, watching intently.
Soon, a table full of dishes was prepared, all of which smelled delicious, like wild game from the village.
Zhang Xuanyun's mouth was practically watering. He looked at Meng Yanzhi and said, "Your Majesty, you've worked hard."
"It's just cooking a few dishes, it's not hard work, I enjoy cooking."
Meng Yanzhi smiled faintly.
"Since we're not in the palace, let's not stand on ceremony and start eating."
"Prince Zang, you should also try the flavors of our Da Gan and see if you like them."
Meng Yanzhi gave Cang Shui a polite reply.
No matter how wary or disliked you are of this person, you must always act like the master of your own destiny and never give off a petty or narrow-minded impression.
Zang Shui immediately nodded, picked up his chopsticks, and began eating without stopping.
He initially thought the rumors were just exaggerations, but after actually eating Meng Yanzhi's food, he realized that the rumors were true, and quite subtly at that.
"Her Majesty the Empress's cooking skills are truly unparalleled in the world."
Zang Shui's words were truly convincing.
Seeing Zang Shui's expression, Meng Yanzhi smiled politely and said, "If Your Highness likes it, please eat more."
The meal went smoothly. Meng Yanzhi didn't want to stay with Cangshui any longer, so she said she was going back to the palace to see the children and told them to stay and have fun while they looked at the feng shui of Daqian.
After Meng Yanzhi returned to the palace, Qingdao approached her and said, "The assassins were all from Canglan Kingdom. It must have been Cang Huan'er who did it."
"Yes, store all the evidence away for use when it matters most." Meng Yanzhi nodded calmly, her expression unchanged.
When Cang Shui rushed over to save people, Meng Yanzhi understood that this matter was definitely related to Canglan Kingdom. After all, Cang Shui looked like a cunning person and would never meddle in other people's business.
It seems that the internal structure of their Canglan Kingdom isn't that secure after all.
Everyone has their own little schemes, and that makes for a good show.
Post station.
After returning, Zang Shui went straight into the room, grabbed Zang Huan'er by the wrist, and lifted her up: "Are you crazy? How many guts do you have to assassinate the Empress? You don't want to live anymore and you're dragging me down with you!"
"Why are you so angry? She's not dead yet." Zang Huan'er looked at Zang Shui coldly and silently withdrew her hand: "Don't forget, I came here to oppose Meng Yanzhi. Since that's the case, why can't I take action against her?"
"You're here for a marriage alliance, not to cause trouble for our Canglan Kingdom!" Cang Shui slapped Cang Huan'er hard across the face. "Don't think you're so great just because you have the title of princess now. Let me tell you, you're nothing but a dog of Canglan. If you don't obey, I'll replace you anytime!"
"You dare hit me!" Zang Huan'er's eyebrows were tightly furrowed as she gritted her teeth and glared at Zang Shui. "What kind of thing are you to dare lay a hand on me? You think you're so great just because you're the Crown Prince? Let me tell you, never forget that we are siblings born of the same mother. My status is lowly, and so is yours!"
"You!" Zang Shui gritted his teeth and grabbed Zang Huan'er by the neck. "I'll say it again, I'm not your half-brother. My birth mother is the Empress!"
Upon hearing this, Zang Huan'er laughed disdainfully: "For the sake of wealth and glory, you don't even dare to acknowledge your own mother. It's ridiculous! So what if you're the crown prince? You're just a worthless ingrate!"
"Shut up!" Cang Shui slapped her hard across the face again, tightening his grip on her neck as he coldly said, "I'm telling you, if you continue to cause trouble, I'll kill you!"
After saying that, Cangshui forcefully threw the person aside before turning and walking outside.
"Hmph, who cares?"
Zang Huan'er forcefully wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth.
She clenched her fists tightly: "What kind of bullshit empire is this? Meng Yanzhi, I'm going to take your life!"
Achoo!
Meng Yanzhi sneezed twice in a row, her eyebrows furrowed tightly as she looked at Qingdao: "Why do I feel like someone is secretly talking about me behind my back?"
"Your Majesty, you must have caught a cold."
"Should we summon the imperial physician to take a look?"
Qingdao looked at Meng Yanzhi with a worried expression.
Meng Yanzhi felt a moment of embarrassment, then smiled and said, "There's no need to summon the imperial physician. I'm fine. By the way, where is His Majesty? Where is he now?"
"His Majesty is in the Imperial Study. The Minister of Rites and the Chief Steward of the Imperial Household Department are also in the Imperial Study."
"Your Majesty, what are your plans regarding the marriage alliance?"
