Chapter 91 The Daughter of a Guilty Minister vs. the Disabled Prince 5
Ji Yunhuan retreated to the door and saw that Xiao Yan's face had turned red with anger. His originally handsome face became even more lively, breaking his originally gloomy temperament and looking even more pleasing to the eye.
She knew that it was not kind to bully someone who couldn't walk, but Xiao Yan was really too much. Her forehead was still hurting.
There is still a long time to come, and she doesn't want to keep living in silence!
"Your Highness, you should believe me now, right? I really didn't poison you."
Xiao Yan was so angry that his head felt dizzy. No one had ever dared to treat him like this!
"Just wait for me! Sooner or later, I will tear you into pieces!"
Ji Yunhuan sighed helplessly, "I have been serving Your Highness wholeheartedly, but Your Highness does not appreciate it. Your Highness does not even think about the fact that if you die, I will definitely not survive, so I will not harm you."
"Since Your Highness has taken the medicine, please go to bed early. I will take my leave now."
After Ji Yunhuan left, the anger on Xiao Yan's face disappeared. He wiped the medicine juice on his chest carelessly and returned to his cold appearance.
There was a charcoal fire burning in the house and the quilt on his body was warm and thick. Xiao Yan was used to the cold, and suddenly he fell into the land of tenderness and couldn't help but feel a little greedy.
If that woman really served him wholeheartedly...
A gust of dark wind blew, interrupting Xiao Yan's thoughts.
Wei Ling knelt in front of the bed and asked nervously, "Master, are you okay? That woman actually dared... dared to disrespect you, Master. Why didn't you kill her? Just put an end to it all!"
Although Xiao Yan's legs were disabled, his martial arts skills were not useless. He just hid them very well and people would not easily notice them.
"She's just a woman. She can't cause any trouble. If we kill her, it will only attract attention."
Wei Ling bowed his head deeply, "It is my fault for not thinking carefully. The master has been patient for many years, and now that the great event is about to take place, it is indeed not appropriate to expose it."
"Although the medicine the master took was given by the palace, our people have checked it and there is no problem. Just now, when the woman was boiling the medicine, she secretly went to find the guard at the door and gave the guard a small hand warmer."
"I am far away and cannot hear what they are plotting. Maybe they are just passing on some information. My Lord, please be careful. I will also keep an eye on her. If there is any unusual movement, I will kill her even if it costs my life!"
By the time Wei Ling left, Xiao Yan's heart had completely cooled down.
What on earth was he expecting? He was a useless person, powerless and imprisoned in the deep palace. How could anyone be truly kind to him?
A charcoal fire, a bowl of medicine, a quilt... Ha! With just these few things, you actually want to gain his trust? It's really ridiculous!
Compared to previous spies, this woman is indeed better at disguise, but he will never be soft-hearted.
When the day really came, he would kill this woman first!
********
Ji Yunhuan discovered that there was really nothing in the Eastern Palace and he could only go to the imperial kitchen to get food. Given the deposed prince's current status, he naturally couldn't eat anything good after being deducted from his food at every level. No wonder Xiao Yan was so thin.
So she bribed the guards at the door with a small hand warmer and asked them to help her find some rice to get through the evening meal.
No matter what, she would not leave the East Palace today. If she ran into the Fifth Prince, she would be finished.
The expensive hand warmer was finally exchanged for only a bag of rice, a handful of vegetables and a small piece of pork.
Ji Yunhuan was so angry that her teeth were itching. She had never seen anyone so greedy. She thought she could at least hold out for ten days or half a month, but the guards only gave her this little. She had to leave tomorrow.
"Thank you, father-in-law, for taking the trouble to make this trip."
With a smile on his face, Ji Yunhuan stuffed a piece of the silver he had taken from Shuang'er into the hands of the eunuch who was delivering the gift.
The eunuch weighed the silver and smiled even more happily, "Miss, you are too polite. It's just a matter of convenience. If you need anything in the future, just come to the imperial kitchen to find me. I will definitely take care of it for you."
After the things were brought in, the door of the East Palace was closed again.
After Ji Yunhuan prepared the ingredients, he felt a little at a loss as to where to start.
She had only done rough work like chopping wood, making fire, and washing dishes. As for cooking skills, no one would teach these criminal slaves.
So she used the "Cooking Mastery" in the gift package.
Mastery of cooking skills: Good news for kitchen novices! As long as the food is cooked by the host, it will become extra delicious.
A white light flashed, and Ji Yunhuan felt something merge into his body, and his hands began to move unconsciously.
Even a simple bowl of meat porridge is made fragrant by her, and with fresh green vegetables sprinkled on it, it looks quite appetizing.
Ji Yunhuan had been busy all day and was very hungry. He ate two large bowls of food by himself, then burped contentedly and warmed himself by the fire.
Xiao Yan smelled the fragrance coming from next door and his stomach growled. Apart from the bowl of medicine, he had not eaten or drunk anything today and was already starving.
Through the half-open door, Xiao Yan saw Ji Yunhuan washing dishes in the yard. It turned out that the woman had no intention of giving him food at all!
This is outrageous! Didn't I agree to serve him? How come I can't pretend anymore after just half a day?
It is common to go hungry for a few meals, but today Xiao Yan couldn't bear it at all. The glutton in his stomach seemed to be hooked out, making a huge fuss.
"Hey! Where's my dinner? Do you want to starve me to death?"
Ji Yunhuan stood at the door and did not enter the house. His tone was as respectful as always:
"I have a name, Your Highness can call me Xiaoyun. Since Your Highness does not trust me, you don't have to eat what I cook. This meat porridge was obtained with great difficulty. If Your Highness smashes it again, I will not have the money to buy it again."
Xiao Yan found that this woman was quite vindictive. He didn't want to bow to her, but his stomach growled again, and the sound was particularly loud in the empty hall.
"Xiao Yun, right? You've already taken the medicine. Of course I trust you. Since you've worked so hard, I'll reluctantly give it a try."
Ji Yunhuan went back to the room and brought the meat porridge that had been kept warm. This time, Xiao Yan finally didn't make any trouble and ate the bowl cleanly.
"Anything else?" Xiao Yan licked a grain of rice at the corner of his mouth. His tongue tip was red and his face was steaming. He felt that this bowl of porridge was simply incomparably delicious.
Ji Yunhuan put away the bowl and chopsticks, "No more, Your Highness is not feeling well, so you shouldn't eat too much. You can eat tomorrow."
Xiao Yan looked at Ji Yunhuan's leaving back and actually began to look forward to tomorrow.
Ji Yunhuan's lips curled up into a smile, the deposed prince was interesting, he didn't want to be served and had to beg for food before he felt at ease.
In that case, she doesn't need to be polite to Xiao Yan.
No words were spoken that night.
The next day, Xiao Yan ate the meat porridge with great satisfaction, and then began to urge Ji Yunhuan to prepare lunch.
Ji Yunhuan knew that the Fifth Prince had stayed in the palace last night and had only left this morning. She waited until noon before she felt at ease carrying the food box to the imperial kitchen to pick up the meal.
She spent some money to get the hot meal. As soon as she walked out of the imperial kitchen, she ran into Shuang'er.
Shuang'er had a beaming look on her face, with two golden hairpins in her hair, a emerald green bracelet on her hand, and was covered in jewels. Her attire clearly exceeded the norm for a third-class palace maid.
She stood in front of Ji Yunhuan and said proudly, "It's really a narrow road for enemies. Do you know how powerful I am? If you offend me, you can only go to the East Palace and wait for death! You still want to get close to the fifth prince, bah! You are not worthy!"
"You were so arrogant last time and even dared to steal my money. Today I will make you spit it all out!"
