In the first half of the day after arriving here, Wang Yiyao had almost no work to do. Perhaps because of Chef Lin, the people who came to deliver snacks were very polite to Wang Yiyao.
After Wang Yiyao entered the kitchen, she put on a mask to surround her face.
But everyone in the palace was very gossipy, especially the middle-aged women who were responsible for picking vegetables, so they came over to ask.
"Say, girl, this thing is surrounding your face as soon as you come in. What's wrong with your face?"
Wang Yiyao smiled and said, "Auntie, my face is ruined, I'm afraid I scared you."
Wang Yiyao gently lifted a corner of her mask, revealing the scars that had not yet fully recovered.
"Oh my god, how did this happen? It's so pitiful."
Wang Yiyao stopped talking and continued to display her snacks.
The emperor was under house arrest by the King of Shu and was in a state of depression. Previously, Gao Zhan had secretly inquired that Feng Minyi and the others had already attacked outside the city.
But later, I heard the guard at the door say that Feng Minyi and the others hesitated and retreated because they were outnumbered. The emperor had completely lost hope.
"Gao Zhan, do you think I can get out alive this time? Yi'er has been beaten back by them now. I really have no hope at all."
The emperor was lying on the bed, his voice weak. Gao Zhan still believed in Feng Minyi at this time. He knew that Feng Minyi would not be defeated so easily.
"Your Majesty, the prince will not be defeated so easily. You must believe in the prince."
At this time, no matter what Gao Zhan said, the emperor couldn't listen to it anymore. He really regretted why he treated his own brother so much.
When it was time to take a break, Chef Lin arranged for Wang Yiyao to go into a small utility room to rest alone, because he was worried that Wang Yiyao would be recognized by others and it would be all over.
"Chef Lin, do you know which palace the Emperor is under house arrest by the King of Shu?"
"The emperor has not left his palace. He is still in his former palace. However, the study has been occupied by the King of Shu. He has not yet obtained the emperor's jade seal, so the emperor is still safe for the time being."
"Okay, I understand. If it is convenient, please help me to see the Queen Mother."
Chef Lin was in a bit of a dilemma. Wang Yiyao saw his hesitation and said, "Please, you must help."
"Okay, I will think of a solution tomorrow and will inform you, Princess, then."
After Chef Lin left, Wang Yiyao lay in bed unable to sleep at all. Without seeing the emperor and the queen mother for a day, Wang Yiyao felt uneasy.
It was almost dawn, and Wang Yiyao had just slept for a while. The imperial dining room had to prepare breakfast, so she got up very early.
Wang Yiyao got dressed and came to her snack room.
After a while, Chef Lin came to the kitchen and said, "You guys, please be careful. He knows what kind of temper this King of Shu has. If something goes wrong, our heads will not be safe."
After patrolling outside for a while, Chef Lin came to the dessert room.
"This snack of yours cannot be presented like this. If you present it like this, what will happen if the King of Shu finds fault?"
Then Chef Lin whispered, "In the afternoon, I will go back to the Queen Mother's Palace to deliver snacks. Then, Princess, please follow me and go together."
"OK."
"Princess, you must be careful."
Wang Yiyao nodded and continued playing with the snacks.
Soon it was afternoon. "You guys are going to deliver snacks. Today, the King of Shu showed his kindness and gave snacks to each palace. You, the newcomer, will also go and help. Remember, don't make any mistakes, otherwise there will be ten people."
One head is not enough to chop off."
Wang Yiyao held the snack box and followed the team closely behind. Now that the King of Shu was in charge of the entire palace, he naturally had to go to the King of Shu's palace first.
Wang Yiyao was still a little nervous when she heard that she had to go to the King of Shu's palace first because she was afraid of being recognized by the King of Shu.
"Follow me, you guys. When you see the King of Shu soon, you must give him a big salute. Do you understand?"
"understood."
The palace where the King of Shu now lives was where he lived when he was a child and before he went out to establish a palace. It is relatively far away from the imperial kitchen.
When they were approaching the gate, the person responsible for delivering snacks gave their instructions again. They walked briskly and lined up to salute the King of Shu.
"See you, Your Majesty. Your Majesty is blessed."
"Okay, get up."
Although he still calls the King of Shu "Prince", his courtesy is in accordance with the emperor's etiquette.
Wang Yiyao and the others put the snacks in their hands on the table one after another, then turned around and walked out of the door.
The King of Shu sat on the chair and looked at Wang Yiyao's back with some doubts in his heart.
"The back of this woman looks so familiar. This figure looks so much like Princess Donglin, but she is clearly outside the city. Could it be that I am dazzled."
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty."
The King of Shu was thinking about this, but the guards didn't even hear what he said to him.
"My lord, what's wrong with you?"
"It's okay. In the past two days, you have strengthened your defenses to prevent people from King Donglin from sneaking in, especially the dog emperor. Do you understand?"
"Yes, Your Majesty. I understand."
"Also, has the imperial physician from this king arrived?"
"Not yet. I'll go over here and take a look. My lord, please have some tea and some snacks first. The imperial doctor will be here soon."
The guard went out after receiving the order from the King of Shu. As soon as he got halfway, he saw the imperial doctor coming with sweating profusely.
"Oh, I said you should hurry up. The prince is even angry."
When the imperial doctor heard that he was going to see the King of Shu, he was trembling in his heart. He was also old, so it was not so convenient for him to move.
"Old minister, I have already tried my best to rush here. Don't rush me any more."
The guards dragged the imperial doctor by the arm and came to the palace of King Shu.
"Your Majesty, the imperial doctor is here."
The imperial doctor was so trembling that he couldn't even speak, but he knelt on the ground first.
"I've met the prince. I'm lucky for you."
"Okay, doctor, please get up quickly. I have something to ask you."
The King of Shu glanced at the guards around him and immediately understood what it meant.
"Come on, everyone, please go out. The prince and the imperial doctor have important matters to discuss."
The guard closed the door and went out. The King of Shu personally helped the imperial doctor up.
"Sit down first, and I will slowly tell you what happened."
The imperial doctor sat trembling in his chair, not daring to look at the King of Shu.
"As for the Emperor, you also know that he has been in poor health. I heard that he can't even get out of bed these days. Isn't this suffering? Why don't you help the Emperor, take some medicine, and let the Emperor go as soon as possible?
Enjoy the blessings in heaven.”
As soon as the King of Shu said these words, the imperial doctor was so frightened that he almost fell off his chair.
"Your Majesty, this..."
"You don't have to be so frightened. Doing this can be considered as a sign of good deeds. Anyway, the emperor is still suffering from what he said."
The king of Shu coaxed and forced the emperor, but the imperial doctor did not dare to disobey, so he had no choice but to agree.
