They hadn't seen each other for over three hundred days. Li Hua missed her terribly and wanted to be close to her every moment, but now, being so close to home, he was too shy to reach out.
But Gan Qiongying immediately...
"You can't touch me like that! Husband and wife? No couple is separated for a full 310 days!"
Gan Qiongying stood up, supporting herself on the table. When she heard Li Hua say that, her expression was somewhat indescribable.
"You remember it so clearly..."
Li Hua immediately shut her mouth tightly, even biting her tongue, and glared fiercely at Gan Qiongying, her eyes full of resentment.
He resented her indifferent attitude and also resented himself for so easily revealing his shameful secrets.
Li Hua turned to leave, but no matter how nimble his steps were, he couldn't stop Gan Qiongying from being a rogue.
Gan Qiongying quickly hugged him from behind. At that moment, Li Hua felt as if thunder had struck him from the heavens.
A shiver that started in his back left him completely blank for several breaths, unable to react at all.
Gan Qiongying, holding Lihua, said, "You've lost weight again. Have you not been eating properly?"
"How about we sit down and eat together? I feel so lonely eating alone."
"My husband... my good husband..."
Gan Qiongying gently shook Li Hua's body, but in fact, Li Hua was already trembling uncontrollably even without her shaking.
It was so pathetic, so despicable.
His condition seemed to have worsened again; just being held like this made his body feel numb and on the verge of spasms.
Li Hua grabbed Gan Qiongying's hand tightly, threw it off her waist, and ran away without looking back.
Gan Qiongying watched him run away again, and chased after him for a couple of steps to try and pull him back. But Li Hua ran like a rabbit, and finally it became clear that his leg was healed. He disappeared in a flash.
Gan Qiongying chased after him to the door, where she was stopped by two guards.
At this moment, she was all alone in the room. Li Hua was so flustered that she even forgot to put Gan Qiongying back in the cage.
Gan Qiongying sighed as she failed to catch the person.
He muttered to himself, "I thought I could just hold them, comfort them, kiss them, and rock them around..."
"It's tough..."
Gan Qiongying returned to the table with a sigh, and after opening the food box, her sadness immediately vanished.
Because she knew what the fragrance that had just wafted out was!
It's roast duck!
It also came with lots of side dishes and pancakes!
Is this the treatment a caged canary should receive?
Gan Qiongying immediately picked up a thin pancake, rolled up the duck meat inside, added some side dishes, dipped it in sauce, and stuffed it into her mouth.
At that moment, my soul was elevated.
Phoenix Restaurant's roast duck! Absolutely authentic!
Li Hua is really amazing, did he just move Phoenix Tower to Jinchuan?
Gan Qiongying had been craving this for a long time, especially during her pregnancy. In the later stages of her pregnancy, she would keep swallowing her saliva whenever she thought of it. Unfortunately, she couldn't buy Phoenix Restaurant's roast duck anywhere else except at Phoenix Restaurant!
Gan Qiongying ate very quickly, her cheeks bulging, when suddenly a slight sound came from the window behind her.
Soon, two shadow guards silently landed on the ground from the roof beam. Gan Qiongying's cheeks were stuffed up like a hamster's as she met the eyes of the two shadow guards.
The two men were clearly extremely anxious. Seeing that Gan Qiongying was still calmly eating, they immediately stepped forward, grabbed her arms, and said, "Master, your subordinates are here to take you away!"
"Huh?" Gan Qiongying quickly chewed a few times, swallowed the food, and grabbed a glass of water to gulp it down.
Then he shook off Shadow One and Shadow Two's arms and said, "I'm not leaving, I'm not leaving! I finally found someone, why would I leave? You guys go ahead, find a place to hide and eat and drink as you please!"
“But last night he locked his master in a cage!” Yingyi said. “People’s hearts are fickle. Master, the prince consort’s heart has changed!”
"No, no, no," Gan Qiongying said three times in a row, urging the two of them, "How can the Crown Prince's Eastern Palace be a place you can just barge into? It must be heavily guarded here. You two should leave quickly. He didn't lock me up; I went in voluntarily!"
Gan Qiongying walked over to the cage, patted it, and said, "Did you hear that sound? It's golden, pure gold!"
"Do you know how much money this golden cage can be exchanged for? This isn't a cage, it's a mountain of gold. Your master sleeps on a mountain of gold."
"You can just hide in the city and wait for my news. I know what's going on here."
Shadow One and Shadow Two carefully observed Gan Qiongying, confirming that she hadn't been drugged, but they still couldn't understand why she wouldn't go with them.
Gan Qiongying finally had no choice but to slap the cage and say, "I'm telling you, you don't understand. Two bachelors like this is called marital intimacy. Do you even know what marital intimacy is?"
The two bachelors felt like they'd taken a huge hit; even through their face coverings, they could sense their speechless disbelief.
Gan Qiongying smiled and said to them, "Hurry up and go, I'm fine. I'm well-fed, well-clothed and well-slept. I'll coax the person a little more and everything will be fine!"
"Go quickly, don't worry."
The two of them turned around hesitantly, then quickly exchanged a glance, both seeing confusion in each other's eyes.
They were indeed two bachelors, and didn't understand the pleasures of married life... yet they still needed a cage.
But their master's words were law, so they quickly opened the window and left.
At this moment, Sanjiu led his men to surround the main courtyard of the Crown Prince's Eastern Palace. He said to Lihua at the kitchen door behind the main courtyard, "Master, after the two people were let in, they came out in less than a quarter of an hour. They did not take Princess Duanrong with them, so as you said, we had someone chase them for a while and then let them go."
"Hmm." Li Hua was slicing a roast duck.
The movements were very swift, and the next slices of roast duck were also thin and even, with a good balance of fat and lean meat.
The aroma of roast duck filled the entire courtyard. For a period of time, Li Hua roasted duck like crazy, and after roasting it, he couldn't bear to throw it away, so he ate it himself until he vomited.
He should have been so sick of seeing roast duck by now, but today he picked up a piece, put it in his mouth, and chewed it slowly.
Hearing Sanjiu say that, he calmly hummed in agreement.
In reality, the corners of his mouth were wide open in a wildly exaggerated smile.
He did it on purpose... He deliberately left Gan Qiongying alone in the room and deliberately let those two shadow guards in to see if Gan Qiongying would go with them.
If she really goes with them, Li Hua will capture them all and lock them up, just like drawing a bow to shoot a bird!
"Have someone follow those two closely," Li Hua said. "But don't alert them. See if they have any other companions."
"Yes, Master."
Li Hua ate a few slices of duck meat, washed her hands, and changed her clothes to make sure she didn't smell of roast duck.
After dressing up, he looked dashing and handsome. When he estimated that Gan Qiongying had almost finished eating, he walked towards the courtyard where Gan Qiongying was.
When he pushed open the door and entered the room, the plates on the table were almost all empty.
As for Gan Qiongying... she went back into the cage and even locked the small padlock herself.
Seeing Li Hua return, she stood beside the cage and smiled at Li Hua: "Was I good? Can we talk now?"
“I mean, let’s talk calmly. You should listen to my explanation. I also have many questions for you.”
"Husband, is it alright?"
Li Hua's eyes stung with tears, a sting that spread to his heart and even his soul, and he almost burst into tears.
