Chapter 139

"Yes, Your Majesty, this humble official will go find him right now."

Before Jiang Huan could even get up from the ground.

A small Eunuch at the entrance of Qianqing Palace walked straight into the main hall, ran to Zhu Yuanzhang's ear, and whispered.

"Your Majesty, the Crown Prince has arrived."

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and said.

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

That small Eunuch looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and said with some difficulty.

"Your Majesty, the Crown Prince has come to bring you your evening meal. This servant thinks Your Majesty has gone a whole day without water or food; please have some."

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

He let out a long sigh and then said.

"Very well, let Zhu Yunwen come in."

"Yes."

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

Not long after.

Zhu Yunwen walked into Qianqing Palace carrying a food box.

Jiang Huan also sensibly raised his head, looked at Zhu Yuanzhang, and whispered.

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

The two small Eunuchs beside him who tasted for poison also stepped forward, wanting to taste it for Zhu Yuanzhang first.

Before they could even open their mouths.

They heard Zhu Yuanzhang wave his hand and say.

"Could Zhu Yunwen possibly harm me?"

The two small Eunuchs immediately left.

Zhu Yuanzhang then looked at Zhu Yunwen curiously and smiled.

"What has Zhu Yunwen made for me?"

Zhu Yunwen smiled and said.

"It is a rare thing made by Mr. Su. Zhu Yunwen thought His Imperial Grandfather had not yet eaten, so how could Zhu Yunwen presume to eat first? Therefore, I have brought it for His Imperial Grandfather."

Having spoken, Zhu Yunwen opened the food box.

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

Zhu Yuanzhang, sitting on the Dragon Throne, smelled the aroma and his appetite was suddenly aroused; he stood up on his own and immediately took out a bowl.

Zhu Yunwen stood to the side and cheerfully introduced.

"According to Mr. Su, this dish is called, what is it called... Potato Stewed Beef..."

The moment the words fell, Jiang Huan, who had already stepped out of Qianqing Palace with one leg, froze stiff in place.

Zhu Yuanzhang also suddenly raised his head.

Looking at Zhu Yunwen in disbelief, he asked.

"What?!"

Zhu Yunwen was stunned by Zhu Yuanzhang's question.

He stammered and said.

"Po, Potato Stewed Beef..."

Zhu Yuanzhang stood up from the Dragon Throne on his own.

"Potato Stewed Beef? Then what are these?"

"Roasted sweet potatoes, roasted corn."

Standing at the palace gate, Jiang Huan's chin nearly hit the ground.

So such things really exist in this world?

Zhu Yuanzhang held the bowl of Potato Stewed Beef, took a "slurp" of the broth, and then asked in a fury.

"Where is Su Qiao now?"

"Damn it, he actually stewed this thing?!"

"Jiang Huan, Jiang Huan!"

"Your Majesty, do not rush."

Zhu Yuanzhang carefully placed that bowl of Potato Stewed Beef on the imperial desk.

Then he roared with a hoarse voice.

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

"This is an immortal object!"

"Where is Su Qiao now?!"

Zhu Yunwen was startled by Zhu Yuanzhang's roar.

The corner of his mouth immediately twitched slightly.

Looking at Zhu Yuanzhang, he whispered.

"Mr. Su has, has already returned."

Zhu Yuanzhang's chest heaved continuously.

Pointing at the palace gate, he roared.

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

"Prepare the carriage—no, spit, just lead the horse over!"

Zhu Yuanzhang put on a pair of cloth shoes as he stepped out, then immediately rode his horse out of the palace on his own.

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

With a "Bang!"

Zhu Yuanzhang, accompanied by several members of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, smashed straight through Su Qiao's front gate.

Just as Zhu Yuanzhang burst in,

Su Qiao was holding a corn cob and gnawing on it.

Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang,

the corn cob in Su Qiao's mouth "clattered" and fell to the ground.

Su Qiao had expected Zhu Yuanzhang to react strongly.

But he never thought Zhu Yuanzhang would have such a huge reaction after just taking one bite!

Is Old Zhu this craving?

The corner of Su Qiao's mouth twitched slightly.

Looking at Zhu Yuanzhang, he asked,

"Your Majesty, would you like a bite?"

Zhu Yuanzhang stared fiercely at Su Qiao and asked,

"Where did you, you rascal, get these potatoes, sweet potatoes, and corn?"

Su Qiao looked at Zhu Yuanzhang helplessly and said,

"Uh... when Your Subject left the palace today, I bought them on Qianmen Street."

No sooner had the words left his mouth.

Zhu Yuanzhang felt as if struck by a thunderclap from a clear sky.

He had worked so hard searching all day long.

So this rascal had cut him off the moment he stepped out of the palace?!

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Su Qiao excitedly and asked,

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

These were immortal treasures given by the Chat Group.

Old Zhu hadn't even figured out what effects these things had yet.

Held aloft by Zhu Yuanzhang, Su Qiao felt his shoulders ache terribly and, gritting his teeth, said,

"Your Subject merely estimated that these things might have high yields, so I bought them to taste whether they were good."
