Han Yixuan hadn't planned to eat, but the aroma of the food was too tempting, and he simply couldn't resist.
So, after Yun Qingluo's repeated invitations, he stayed.
This was the first time he had ever known that this woman could cook.
"Ah Chen, drink the soup. It's a little bland, but it's just right for you." Yun Qingluo served Mo Beichen a bowl of soup.
"You should eat some too." Mo Beichen nodded and picked up a piece of food for Yun Qingluo.
Han Yixuan watched the two of them being all lovey-dovey with a blank expression.
When Bei Chen was in love with someone else, he felt sorry for Bei Chen and hoped that Yun Qingluo could take pity on Bei Chen and look back at him.
Now, the two seem to have achieved a happy ending and are incredibly loving, but he can't stand it anymore, and it makes his teeth ache.
Han Yixuan lowered his head, picked up a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs, and his eyes lit up when he put it in his mouth.
It tastes so good?
I couldn't resist taking a few more bites, and finally tentatively reached for the green vegetables that I disliked the most.
Hey, the vegetables taste better now?
Han Yixuan successfully shifted his attention to the food on the table.
"Come, come, give me another bowl of rice," Han Yixuan said to the servant beside him.
Mo Beichen glanced at Han Yixuan, "Did the Dali Temple starve you?"
Han Yixuan shook his head slightly, "This food is really delicious. Even if it were poisoned, I would still eat another bowl."
After she finished speaking, the air suddenly went quiet. When she looked up, she saw Yun Qingluo looking puzzled and Mo Beichen with a dark expression.
"Uh, I mean, this food is delicious, delicious," Han Yixuan quickly explained.
Yun Qingluo suddenly remembered that when she had asked Han Yixuan to stay for dinner, he had run away faster than a rabbit.
So they're afraid she'll poison him?
However, this is something she would have done in the past, so it's understandable that he overthinks it.
"If you think it's delicious, Han Shaoqing, eat more. Achen, eat some vegetables; they're good for your health." Yun Qingluo said to Han Yixuan in a good-natured manner, then turned back and put a piece of vegetables on Mo Beichen's plate.
Mo Beichen's expression softened a bit. "If you're worried about poisoning, go home and eat it."
Han Yixuan was speechless. Well, he couldn't say a single word.
After finishing his meal, Han Yixuan said goodbye.
A few days later, it snowed again, so outdoor training was not possible. They could only train indoors with crutches.
The imperial decree was issued the day after the heavy snowfall.
Tell Mo Beichen to set off for disaster relief in the southwest as soon as possible.
Even though Yun Qingluo knew the news in advance, she still couldn't help but get angry and her eyes turned red.
If he doesn't give a single penny, how will he use it for disaster relief?
"I'm going to find my father and ask him to go to the palace to talk to him," Yun Qingluo said angrily.
Mo Beichen pulled Yun Qingluo into his arms and coaxed her softly, "Luoluo, be good, don't be angry, it's not worth it, it's just a snow disaster and bandits."
“But the snow disaster there is so severe, the people must not have enough to eat or wear. How can we provide them with living supplies without money?”
Mo Beichen pinched Yun Qingluo's nose and smiled slightly, "Good girl, trust your husband."
Seeing that Mo Beichen was confident, Yun Qingluo didn't say anything more, but she made a mental note of this.
That night, Yun Qingluo approached Yun Li and said, "Now that the national treasury is full, it's time for us to share the Emperor's burdens."
Yun Li glanced at Yun Qingluo, then lowered her head and asked, "Your Highness, should we distribute them before we get them?"
Yun Qinglu shook her head. "Let's leave Shenyi Valley for now and find an opportunity to disperse them. Be careful."
Yunli lowered her head and her eyes lit up. "Yes, Your Highness."
The next day, news came that the national treasury had been robbed, and the emperor was furious.
"Damn it! With layers of guards and so many imperial guards, how could someone almost empty the national treasury right under your noses? What am I doing keeping you around?"
"What a bunch of useless fools! Investigate this for me! I want to see who is so audacious as to steal from the national treasury!" The emperor angrily threw the memorials on the table at the people kneeling on the ground.
After the room quieted down, a hoarse, unpleasant, androgynous voice rang out, "It's time to replace the guards in your palace."
"You don't need to tell me, I didn't allocate any funds to him this time. He's bullying me, you scoundrel!" the emperor said angrily.
After a long pause, the emperor suddenly smiled sinisterly, "Guards!"
The news spread like wildfire that day: the regent, dissatisfied with the emperor's appointment to provide disaster relief in the southwest, stole from the national treasury.
"What? How could the prince steal from the national treasury? That's absolutely impossible."
"The Regent is the guardian of our country, how could he steal from the national treasury? I don't believe it."
"Hey, I heard that the Emperor sent the Regent to the Southwest for disaster relief, but the Regent had no money, so he stole from the national treasury."
"Was it because the Emperor didn't give the Regent any money that the Regent stole it?"
“I think so. How can we provide disaster relief without money? How can the Emperor be so heartless as to give the Prince a deadline to return before the palace banquet?”
"Anyway, I don't believe that the prince would do such a theft. Someone must be making things up."
"Yes, they are just jealous of the Regent."
The emperor never dreamed that his mission to spread the message would not only fail to smear the regent, but would also elevate the regent's standing in the hearts of the people.
When Yun Qinglu heard the rumors outside, she knew that it was all the Emperor's doing. However, it was because she thought of this that she felt safe and boldly went to steal.
The emperor was stubborn and self-willed, and did not understand the principle that water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it. He even tried to incite the people to shake the gods in their hearts.
This is like lifting a rock only to drop it on one's own foot.
During this period, Mo Beichen was able to walk smoothly with the help of crutches.
However, time was too tight, and they were about to set off.
Thankfully the snow has lessened, otherwise the roads would be impassable in a couple of days.
Yun Qingluo thought about the long journey ahead and realized she needed to prepare clothes and food.
So she specially asked the housekeeper to buy a lot of beef, make it into beef jerky, and take it with her on the road to satisfy her cravings.
He also sent someone to the largest restaurant in the capital to buy a lot of pastries and some dried goods.
Two horse-drawn carriages were prepared just for food and supplies.
Seeing Yun Qingluo's eagerness to empty the entire palace, Mo Beichen chuckled, "Luoluo, it looks like you're going on a sightseeing trip."
Yun Qingluo exclaimed "Ah!" somewhat embarrassed, "Did I... prepare too much?"
Mo Beichen shook his head, "Not many. We should prepare another carriage. Luo Luo will suffer if she follows me."
Yun Qingluo retorted, "No, no, no matter what we do, being with you is always sweet."
Mo Beichen's eyes brightened slightly, a hint of joy flashing across them. His Luo Luo.
The next day, when Yun Qingluo set off, she was stunned to see five carriages behind her.
His mouth gaped open in an "O" shape. "Ah Chen, you really prepared four carriages of supplies?"
Mo Beichen chuckled and gently closed Yun Qingluo's chin. "We've been traveling through wind and rain, so it's good to have plenty of food on hand, just in case."
Yun Qingluo pushed Mo Beichen's wheelchair, feeling a warm glow in her heart.
"Steward, please deliver this letter to the General's Mansion after we leave," Yun Qingluo said, turning to the steward.
She was afraid that her parents wouldn't want her to come along, so she planned to act first and ask for their permission later.
