Chapter 125

"Yes, this humble official will go at once."

Before Commander Commander Jiang Huang could even scramble up from the ground,

a young eunuch at the entrance of the Qianqing Palace walked straight into the main hall, ran to Zhu Zhu Zhu Zhu Yuanzhang's side, and whispered in his ear,

"Your Majesty, the Crown Prince has arrived."

Zhu Zhu Zhu Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and said,

"I have no time. Tell him to go back and study hard."

The young eunuch looked at Zhu Zhu Zhu Zhu Yuanzhang and spoke with some difficulty,

"Your Majesty, the Crown Prince has come to bring you your evening meal. This servant knows you have had neither water nor rice all day; please, have a little."

Hearing this, Zhu Zhu Zhu Zhu Yuanzhang's expression softened slightly.

He let out a long sigh and then said,

"Very well, let Zhu Zhu Zhu Zhu Zhu Yunwen come in."

"Yes."

104, Zhu Zhu Zhu Zhu Yuanzhang: Is this how you treat our ancestral instructions?

Before long,

Zhu Zhu Zhu Zhu Zhu Zhu Yunwen entered the Qianqing Palace carrying a food box.

Commander Commander Jiang Huang, knowing his place, also lifted his head and whispered to Zhu Zhu Zhu Zhu Yuanzhang,

"Your Majesty, this subject, this subject takes his leave."

The two young eunuchs stationed nearby for poison testing also stepped forward, intending to taste the food for Zhu Zhu Zhu Zhu Yuanzhang first.

Before they could even speak,

they heard Zhu Zhu Zhu Zhu Yuanzhang wave his hand and say,

"Could my own Zhu Zhu Zhu Zhu Zhu Yunwen possibly harm me?"

The two young eunuchs immediately withdrew.

Zhu Zhu Zhu Zhu Yuanzhang, however, looked at Zhu Zhu Zhu Zhu Zhu Zhu Yunwen with curiosity and smiled, asking,

"Zhu Zhu Zhu Zhu Zhu Yunwen, what have you brought for me?"

Zhu Zhu Zhu Zhu Zhu Zhu Yunwen smiled and replied,

"It is a rare delicacy prepared by Mr. Su. Since Your Imperial Grandfather has not yet eaten, how could I, Zhu Zhu Zhu Zhu Zhu Yunwen, presume to eat first? Thus, I have brought it straight to you."

With that, Zhu Zhu Zhu Zhu Zhu Zhu Yunwen opened the food box.

The aroma of potatoes and beef instantly filled the entire Qianqing Palace.

Sitting on the dragon throne, Zhu Zhu Zhu Zhu Yuanzhang smelled the fragrance and felt his appetite surge; he rose abruptly and immediately lifted out a bowl.

Zhu Zhu Zhu Zhu Zhu Zhu Yunwen stood to the side, smiling brightly as he introduced it,

"According to Mr. Su, this dish is called, uh, what was it... Potato Braised Beef..."

The moment these words left his mouth, Commander Commander Jiang Huang, who had already taken one step out of the Qianqing Palace, froze stiffly on the spot.

Zhu Zhu Zhu Zhu Yuanzhang also suddenly lifted his head.

Looking at Zhu Zhu Zhu Zhu Zhu Zhu Yunwen in disbelief, he asked,

"What?!"

Zhu Zhu Zhu Zhu Zhu Zhu Yunwen was stunned by Zhu Zhu Zhu Zhu Yuanzhang's question.

He stammered,

"Po-, Potato Braised Beef..."

Zhu Zhu Zhu Zhu Yuanzhang abruptly stood up from the dragon throne.

"Potato Braised Beef? Then what are these?"

"Roasted sweet potatoes, roasted corn."

Standing at the palace gate, Commander Commander Jiang Huang's jaw nearly hit the ground.

So such things truly exist in this world?

Zhu Zhu Zhu Zhu Yuanzhang held the bowl of Potato Braised Beef, slurped a mouthful of the broth, and then asked in furious exasperation,

"Where is Su Qiao right now?"

"Damn it, he just stewed this stuff?!"

"Commander Commander Jiang Huang, Commander Commander Jiang Huang!"

"Your Majesty, do not rush."

Zhu Zhu Zhu Zhu Yuanzhang carefully placed the bowl of Potato Braised Beef onto the imperial desk.

Then, screaming until his voice was hoarse, he roared,

"Not rush? How can I not rush?!"

"These are celestial treasures!"

"Where is Su Qiao right now?!"

Zhu Zhu Zhu Zhu Zhu Zhu Yunwen was startled by Zhu Zhu Zhu Zhu Yuanzhang's roar.

The corners of his mouth twitched slightly at once.

Looking at Zhu Zhu Zhu Zhu Yuanzhang, he whispered,

"Mr. Su has already re-, returned home."

Zhu Zhu Zhu Zhu Yuanzhang's chest heaved continuously.

Pointing toward the palace gate, he roared,

"Quick, go to Su Qiao's home!"

"Prepare the imperial carriage—pah, just bring the horse directly!"

Zhu Zhu Zhu Zhu Yuanzhang stepped out, slipped on a pair of cloth shoes, and immediately mounted his horse to leave the palace on his own.

Leading a squad of Embroidered Uniform Guard cavalry, he headed straight for Su Qiao's home.

With a loud "bang."

Zhu Zhu Zhu Zhu Yuanzhang, accompanied by several members of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, crashed directly through the main gate of Su Qiao's house.

Just as Zhu Zhu Zhu Zhu Yuanzhang burst in.

Su Qiao was hugging an ear of corn and gnawing on it.

Catching sight of Zhu Zhu Zhu Zhu Yuanzhang.

The corn cob in Su Qiao's mouth dropped to the floor with a "plop."

Su Qiao had anticipated that Zhu Zhu Zhu Zhu Yuanzhang would react strongly.

But he never expected such a massive reaction after the man took just one bite.

Is Old Zhu that gluttonous?

The corners of Su Qiao's mouth twitched slightly.

Looking at Zhu Zhu Zhu Zhu Yuanzhang, he asked,

"Your Majesty, would you, uh, like a bite?"

Zhu Zhu Zhu Zhu Yuanzhang stared fixedly at Su Qiao and demanded,

"These potatoes, sweet potatoes, and corn—where did you brat get them from?"

Su Qiao looked at Zhu Zhu Zhu Zhu Yuanzhang helplessly and said,

"Uh... when this subject left the palace today, I bought them on Qianmen Avenue."

The words had barely left his lips.

Zhu Zhu Zhu Zhu Yuanzhang felt as though struck by lightning from a clear sky.

He had toiled hard searching all day long.

And it turns out this brat intercepted them the moment he stepped out of the palace?!

Zhu Zhu Zhu Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Su Qiao excitedly and asked,

"You, you bought them for what? Why did you buy them?"

These were immortal treasures bestowed by the Chat Group.

Even Old Zhu hadn't yet figured out what effects these things possessed.

Held aloft by Zhu Zhu Zhu Zhu Yuanzhang, Su Qiao felt nothing but sharp pain in his shoulders; gritting his teeth, he said,

"This subject merely guessed that these items might have a high yield, so I bought some to taste whether they were delicious or not."
