On a cold winter night, the soft sound seemed to add a touch of spring.
"Young Master Yi, what's wrong? Are you hungry? Are you attracted by the smell of food?"
Liu Yunzhou came over and looked at Yu Qingyi. After all, he was so close to this servant that he could smell the aroma of the hot pot, let alone him.
"Lord Liu, you really are a bit of a blockhead."
Yu Qingyi snapped back to reality, suppressing the turmoil in her heart, and pulled Liu Yunzhou outside, saying, "Don't disturb the Emperor. He has just ascended the throne and is very busy."
"Hey, where are you going? These women..."
Liu Yunzhou was not happy about it.
"Return it to where it came from."
Yu Qingyi showed no politeness whatsoever.
"That won't do. It must be sent to the Crown Prince's residence. Why don't you go first, Prince Yi, and I'll wait here for a while?"
Yu Qingyi suddenly fixed his gaze on Liu Yunzhou and suddenly understood why Nan Lingqin had called Liu Yunzhou "wooden block" earlier.
It's definitely quite wooden.
"If you don't want Nan Lingqin to destroy your Liu family estate, then stop making a fuss."
Yu Qingyi went so far as to threaten him.
Upon hearing this, Liu Yunzhou became even more furious.
"The Emperor is going to be with other women and even start to show tenderness towards them. What business is it of Nan Lingqin's?"
He felt indignant on behalf of Nan Lingqin.
However, this time Mu Tou knew to keep his voice down, and only Yu Qingyi could hear him.
Yu Qingyi was truly speechless upon hearing this.
"Alright." Yu Qingyi looked at Nan Lingqin, who was already following Tingfeng into the mansion, sighed, and then leaned closer to Liu Yunzhou, saying clearly, "The one carrying the food box just now, that was Nan Lingqin."
Having said that, Yu Qingyi ignored Liu Yunzhou's reaction and simply turned and left.
Liu Yunzhou...
After a long pause, his pupils contracted slightly, and he waved his hand, saying, "You guys, disperse for now." He immediately caught up with Yu Qingyi.
Liu Yunzhou led his men away, and the guards at the entrance of the Crown Prince's residence breathed a sigh of relief.
Well, thankfully Prince Yi was there, and he finally persuaded Lord Liu, otherwise they wouldn't have been able to withstand the Crown Prince's wrath.
At this moment, Nan Lingqin followed behind Tingfeng, her head slightly lowered, her eyes downcast, walking silently.
Every flower and tree was still as familiar as ever, but the air was too cold, and the entire mansion seemed icy and devoid of any warmth. Nan Lingqin couldn't help but shiver.
"Wait until they've all finished eating and cleaned up before you leave."
As you walk through a long corridor, you can hear the wind howling.
Nan Lingqin nodded in a servant's voice, "Don't worry, sir."
"Don't say anything when you go out."
"I understand."
"I suppose Manager Bai must have given you a heads-up, otherwise he wouldn't have sent you to deliver it."
Listening to the wind, there was a hint of sigh in his voice.
It seems they believe Bai Yu understands why they wanted these five bowls of extra spicy hot pot, otherwise Bai Yu wouldn't have had them delivered, let alone cooked them herself.
It seems that because Bai Yu had given Yuwen Yao a lot of attitude, Ting Feng didn't treat Bai Yu very well either.
Not long after, Tingfeng led Nan Lingqin into an elegant courtyard.
This is not where Yuwen Yao lives.
As Nan Lingqin looked around, she also saw five slender, graceful, and charming women shivering in the cold wind on the clean floor of the courtyard in the middle of winter. They were dressed in thin clothes. Beside them, Tingyu stood with her arms crossed.
"His Majesty said that the women who can serve him must be strong, healthy and have exceptional stamina, so you must persevere."
His tone was stern, without a single superfluous expression.
The women, though their faces were red from the cold and their bodies were swaying in the wind, still stood firm. Upon hearing Tingyu's words, they seemed to be given a powerful boost, gaining new strength and standing even straighter.
Tingyu glanced at the group of people, her expression darkening with displeasure.
Tingfeng walked over with Nan Lingqin, who was disguised as a servant.
The savory and spicy aroma of the food burst forth, filling the air and whetting the appetite on this cold winter night.
"Come here, Your Majesty is considerate of you and has specially ordered food for you at Tianxia Yiye. Have some food to warm yourselves up on this cold winter night."
These girls are clearly daughters of officials; they are usually gentle, delicate, and well-mannered.
That's why Yuwen Yao didn't just drive them away or kill and bury them, but dealt with them this way. However, at this moment, these five young ladies were obviously also suffering terribly from this invisible torment. The expectant and excited look on their faces when they came over was enough to make them lose their composure.
Nan Lingqin's gaze swept subtly across the faces of the five women, and she couldn't help but find it somewhat amusing.
Yuwen Yao certainly knew how to play pranks on people.
Then Tingyu ordered people to bring in stools, exactly five in total, one for each person. They were the kind of hard wooden stools that servants used to use when picking vegetables in grand courtyards.
Not only is it rough, but it's also ugly.
"this……"
One of the young women couldn't help but look at Tingyu and asked, "So, are we just going to sit here in the courtyard and eat like this, with five of us... all huddled together?"
"Yes, His Majesty said this is called a lively event."
Listening to the rain, with a serious expression, one could see at a certain moment that his methods were indeed similar to Yuwen Yao's. Like master, like servant; he had truly inherited his skills.
The young lady who had asked the question fell silent upon hearing Tingyu's reply. She gritted her teeth, slowly sat down, and picked up her chopsticks.
"Tear—"
A sound of clothes being torn suddenly rang out, exceptionally clear in the quiet night.
