Xie Hongyi took care of Huang Long attentively. He was guarding Huang Long all day. The system that provided the dog food was crying. But he could not express what he felt.
In the afternoon, Xie Hongyi was the waiter to pick up the groceries he was going to cook for Huang Long. Beside the Flower Palace, an impromptu kitchen was built at the request of Xie Hongyi.
When Xie Hongyi asked Huang Long who prepared food for her as long as she was not around, Huang Long replied it was the responsibility of the Queen Mother.
Huang Long's current state was much better than the one Xie Hongyi had first seen. Xie Hongyi silently smiled and felt pleased in his heart.
Huang Long wondered why Xie Hongyi looked at him like a sick mother.
Xie Hongyi walked out of Huang Long's room towards the impromptu kitchen. There, there is already a long wooden table on which there are many food ingredients such as meat, fish, vegetables and some types of spices.
Beside the table, there was a clay fire stove on which was a large frying pan. Xie Hongyi thought, if these people were not too retarded about cooking matters.
Xie Hongyi started to light a fire in the furnace. It took a while before the fire was completely lit.
In his previous life, he had already practiced how to live in the wild, so this matter of fire was a small matter to him.
Xie Hongyi then started cutting the groceries. He is assisted by Wan'er and Ling'er. Then they seriously cooked.
The fragrance that smelled from the smell of food made everyone drool. The maids and eunuchs who happened to walk past the Flower Palace, stopped their steps as the fragrant fragrance smelled. They were curious and wanted to find the source of the smell, but this was the Flower Palace, not just anyone could enter.
After he finished, Xie Hongyi delivered the food to Huang Long's room. Xie Hongyi sat beside the man.
Huang Long felt his sleep disturbed due to the fragrant aroma that smelled on his nose. He then opened his eyes and saw Xie Hongyi holding a tray on which were two food bowls. He heard Xie Hongyi's voice. "Your Majesty, it's time to eat."
Xie Hongyi placed the tray beside Huang Long. He was about to leave but did not so because Huang Long's hand held him back. Xie Hongyi saw the man frowning. "Where are you going?"
Xie Hongyi answered honestly. "I'm going to go."
Huang Long lowered his gaze. "You're going to let Zhen eat alone?"
Seeing Huang Long like a puppy that his Master had not fed, the corner of Xie Hongyi's eyes twitched. "So, what does Your Majesty want?"
This was the question Huang Long was waiting for. "Boat Zhen."
As Xie Hongyi heard Huang Long's request, d he couldn't hold the circus in his tone. "I see Your Majesty has started to improve. So, I don't think lifting chopsticks is hard."
The woman refused. Huang Long said with his authority as Emperor. "You dare to fight Zhen?"
Xie Hongyi spoke as he gritted his teeth. "This concubine doesn't dare."
Huang Long looked at the delicate hand before him while thinking. A few days ago, he had already obtained the results of an investigation into who had misused the tribute money. But he was very surprised by what he knew. Apparently, the person who bribed the officials of the area was the person closest to him. He initially could not accept the reality, that was what made his health deteriorate so that the poison in his body reacted.
The person you trusted wholeheartedly for years, turned out to be the one who stabbed you in the back and secretly planned his overthrow.
Huang Long's heart felt bad. But, when he saw Xie Hongyi, the dark clouds in his face seemed to disappear. He looked at the pretty face of Xie Hongyi, and itchyly wanted to touch her. Huang Long could not help his will, so he raised his hand trying to touch Xie Hongyi's face.
Xie Hongyi who saw a large hand towards his face, reflexively stopped him by grasping Huang Long's hand. The touch caused a kind of electricity that made the two a little aghast. Xie Hongyi asked doubtfully to Huang Long. "Your Majesty."
Huang Long said suddenly. "You're beautiful."
Xie Hongyi could feel his face heating up and his heart pounding. Huang Long's condition was not much different from Xie Hongyi, his ears were reddened, but his face was still expressionless.
Huang said a compliment with a flat face and tone, but somehow Xie Hongyi felt the world seemed to stop. His hands trembled as he placed the tray on the table near Huang Long's bed.
Huang Long stared at Xie Hongyi's entire movement. Xie Hongyi felt the air slightly hot, so he took out the fan he got when visiting the green building then swung it at himself.
Huang Long was still staring at him. Xie Hongyi said as he covered his nervousness. "I think the air's a little hot." He then laughed awkwardly. "Your Majesty is done eating, I'll go." With that he moved.
Xie Hongyi walked out while starting to think about his own actions. Why does he act like a teenager in puberty? My God, she's a 35-year-old adult woman who shouldn't blush with a newly grown man.
Without realizing it, there was a man who noticed him and stared fixedly at the fan in his hand.
The man frowned, his facial lines showing that he was angry.
"It turns out she!" He had to immediately tell his Master if the person who gave the notebook was this person! With that, he rushed away from there.
Xie Hongyi sighed a few times to calm his mind. After successfully mastering himself, he went back inside Huang Long's room. He wanted to ask the man something.
Xie Hongyi found Huang Long still sitting on the bed as he entered the room. Xie Hongyi unceremoniously asked directly. "Your Majesty, why does the Phoenix Residence look so quiet today? I didn't see the Empress either."
As he passed through the Phoenix Residence earlier, there were no servants who would normally pass by in the courtyard of the residence. He was about to enter the Phoenix Residence out of curiosity so he wanted to ask, but inside the building was completely deserted. The system also suddenly told him to find out what happened.
Huang Long raised his head to look at Xie Hongyi. His heart returned heavy as he was reminded of Empress Shi. One of the people he trusted in this palace was that woman, but it turned out that she was doing something that could not be tolerated.
Huang Long replied in a low voice. "The Shi family is about to stage a rebellion."
Xie Hongyi's eyes widened upon hearing Huang Long's words. "So where is he now?"
Huang Long replied: "She has not been around since a few days ago."
