Chapter 283 The master in the secret room!
She staggered, closed her eyes, and fell on the bed. It seemed that she had fainted.
Mu Nanzhou naturally saw through this cheap trick at a glance, and knew that Li Qiuer was pretending to be dizzy.
However, he did not expose the other party. Since Li Qiuer was willing to act, she could continue to perform. He and Xu Yanyi were waiting for Li Qiuer to show her true colors to see what she wanted to do!
He simply walked to the door, called a servant, and ordered, "Take good care of my cousin." Then he left the side courtyard.
After he returned to the room and changed his clothes, he found that Xu Yanyi was not in the room.
He thought something had happened, so he left the room and started looking for her. Whenever he met someone, he would ask, "Have you seen the princess?"
Many servants were so busy doing their own work that they didn't even notice where the princess was. Many of them were shaking their heads.
After asking around, he met the butler and told him, "I just saw the eldest princess go to the kitchen!"
"Kitchen? Why would she go to such a place!" Mu Nanzhou was puzzled. After all, the eldest princess should just say what she wants, so why would she go to a place like the kitchen?
"I don't know either. I just know that the princess seems to be planning to cook for her personally. Why don't you go and take a look, Your Majesty?"
Although the steward is the chief steward of the huge Princess's Mansion, he cannot interfere in the affairs of his master's family, so he doesn't know much and can only let the prince go and take a look himself.
He nodded and went straight to the kitchen. When he arrived at the kitchen, he saw Xu Yanyi busy cooking in the kitchen!
The most important thing is that she looks unhappy. Someone must have offended her!
At this time, the other people in the kitchen noticed his arrival, and quickly put down their work and saluted, "Hello, Your Majesty."
Mu Nanzhou nodded slightly, "It's okay, I just came to take a look, you don't have to worry about me, just do what you need to do, don't delay the dinner time at the mansion."
"yes!"
With this order, the cooks in the kitchen dared to continue their busy work without distraction. Otherwise... the eldest princess had already arrived, and the prince also suddenly came to the kitchen, and they simply could not adapt.
This was originally the place the masters were most reluctant to come to, but today both masters came to the kitchen, a smoky place, and they didn't know which one to take care of.
Mu Nanzhou spoke just now, but Xu Yanyi still didn't raise her head to look at him. She even kept her head down and kept struggling with the food in the pot. She looked so angry as if she was fighting desperately with the food.
"What's going on? Why are you suddenly in the kitchen to cook for no reason?" He walked into the kitchen with strides.
But Xu Yanyi just glanced at him, the anger on her face still did not diminish, and her hands were still picking at the food in the pot.
There was no choice, Mu Nanzhou walked over with a helpless smile on his face and snatched the wooden shovel from Xu Yanyi's hand.
"What are you doing? Give it back to me now! The food will get burnt and it will be wasted!"
Xu Yanyi's tone was simply too irritable, so Mu Nanzhou immediately asked, "What's wrong? Did someone offend you? Why are you so angry for no reason? Besides, we just came back and told you what we wanted to eat. You didn't have to cook for us yourself. What if you get tired?"
Normally, he was reluctant to let Xu Yanyi do any heavy work, let alone cook.
Xu Yanyi glanced at the few people left in the kitchen, then lowered her voice and whispered into Mu Nanzhou's ear, "I'm not going to cook for the two of us, but for the one in the secret room!"
"Him?" Mu Nanzhou's smile faded a little. "Why is it him? Why are you cooking for him? Can't you just ask someone to deliver the food?"
The guy in the secret room is really arrogant. He's still causing trouble even though he's injured like that?
Xu Yanyi hung her head sadly and gritted her teeth in hatred, "Do you think I want to cook for him? It was that annoying guy who asked to eat these difficult-to-prepare things. He really knows how to enjoy himself. He ordered such a troublesome dish. I've been struggling for a while and still can't finish it."
If she wasn't cooking for that annoying guy, she really didn't need to come to the kitchen. She even struggled for a while just to make this troublesome dish. The more she cooked, the more frustrated and angry she felt.
Mu Nanzhou then realized that it was not Xu Yanyi who took the initiative to cook for the person in the secret room, but the person in the secret room who ordered the dish.
He was sure he was recuperating... not enjoying himself?
But Xu Yanyi was not the type to be ordered around by others. He asked in confusion, "When did you go to see him? Didn't you not want to go? And why did you want to see him?"
He knew that Xu Yanyi was unwilling to go to the secret room, and she did not say she wanted to go to the secret room before he left. When he came back, she was already in the kitchen, which meant that he had just left for a while.
Xu Yanyi hung her head sadly and spread her hands, saying, "That's right, I didn't take the initiative to find him, but he came to me anyway."
"He's looking for you?" Mu Nanzhou was a little stunned for a moment. How could he find him in a secret room?
Then I heard Xu Yanyi explain, "I was planning to take a rest, but he released a little bluebird and brought me a message. The letter tied to the bird's leg was from him."
"What does it say?"
Speaking of what was written on the note, Xu Yanyi was so angry that she gritted her teeth. Even now, she is still furious when she thinks about it. "It said that he wanted to eat Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, and he had to eat it as soon as possible!"
At this point, she was so angry that her mouth was almost twisted. She looked up and said to Mu Nanzhou, "He actually asked me to make him Buddha Jumps Over the Wall in a short time. Do you think he is crazy? Buddha Jumps Over the Wall is not that easy to make, and we have to rush it. I think he is just making things more difficult for me!"
She spoke with some excitement, and even patted the stove with her hand while speaking, not caring that her hands were covered with dust.
Now Mu Nanzhou roughly knew what was going on. It turned out that the person in the secret room was the one who did it. No wonder Xu Yan was so angry.
"It seems like you've held back a lot of anger." Mu Nanzhou said with a smile, "You weren't the type of person who would immediately obey someone's orders before, but now... when someone sends you a message you rush over to do Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, tsk tsk tsk tsk."
He was just watching the excitement, which made Xu Yanyi roll her eyes at him in dissatisfaction, "What? Are you watching my excitement?"
"No, I just thought that you agreed to his conditions so readily, so he must have promised you something good, otherwise you wouldn't do such a thankless job, right?"
