Why was his sister suddenly being so nice to him? They had just argued yesterday, and today she was bringing him things. Something was off. Yongzhang couldn't help but think of a possibility.
"Could there be some kind of drug in this?"
Rong Yu was both angry and disappointed by her brother's doubts. "This is a rare item. I kindly gave it to you, and you actually doubt me? If you don't want to eat it, fine, I'll eat it myself."
Rong Yu stood up angrily, intending to take the beef away. Seeing his sister was angry, Yongzhang immediately reached out to stop her.
"Oh—I'll eat it. Of course I have to eat what my sister brought me."
He was so nervous because he knew very well that if he refused now, his sister would probably never speak to him again. This was a rare opportunity to make up, so he would rather be tricked than refuse, and obediently tasted a piece of beef jerky to please his sister.
Beef was forbidden in the palace, so this was the first time Yongzhang had ever tasted beef jerky.
At first, he didn't notice anything special about it, but the more he chewed, the more fragrant it became, and he couldn't help but praise it repeatedly.
"Mmm—this beef jerky smells amazing! Where did you get it from?"
Rong Yu felt gratified that her interests were recognized, and lowered her voice to say to him:
"This was brought from Mongolia by Lejur."
Upon hearing Lejur's name, Yongzhang's expression changed drastically. He immediately threw the remaining half of the beef jerky into the dustbin, looking disgusted, and said:
"I won't eat his food!"
Rong Yu's smile froze. "I gave it to you out of kindness, how could you do this? What did Lejur ever do to you? Why are you targeting him like this?"
The more his sister spoke well of him, the more rebellious Yongzhang became. "I just hate him, no reason needed!"
"How can this kid be so unreasonable?" Rong Yu angrily rebuked, "I even thought of you when I had something good. Since you don't know what's good for you, I will never send you anything again!"
After angrily remarking this, Rong Yu turned and left, refusing to speak to him again.
Yongzhang was filled with doubts. Why would Lezhuer send beef to his sister? Had their relationship become that good?
He clearly dislikes Lejur, and his sister knows that too, so why does he still get so close to Lejur?
Yongzhang grew angrier the more he thought about it. He didn't want to see that box of beef jerky again, so he ordered the eunuch to throw it away.
After Rong Yu left, she went to her mother's tent, gave her the beef jerky, and took the opportunity to complain to her.
Although the siblings often argued, they still cared about each other deeply. Su Yushan gently advised:
“Yongzhang may have some misunderstanding about Lejur. When I have time, I will give him some advice and try to dispel his prejudice against Lejur.”
After being comforted by her mother for a while, Rong Yu finally felt a little better.
Seeing her mother making baby clothes, Rong Yu guessed that they were for the baby and curiously came over to take a look.
The mother and daughter were chatting when they suddenly heard a young eunuch outside, panting, reporting:
"Your Majesty, something terrible has happened! The Third Prince is in trouble!"
