The fool has become a spirit, and she can speak

Chapter 1826 The Mouth Has a Problem

The attendant was indignant! "I went out to handle so many things and brought back so much evidence, and you won't even let me laugh! When did Wan Lianxing become so heartless!" In the whole world, besides Old Madam Wan of the Prince Pang's Mansion, only the attendant would address Wan Lianxing by his full name like this!

"Anyway, stop laughing. The Emperor is furious. Don't provoke him!" Suiying's eyes fell on the plate next to the attendant. The red stuff was crab, and the yellow stuff was fried fish. It looked so tempting!

The attendant scoffed, "It was those corrupt officials who provoked him, the Han family who cultivated their own faction, not me!"

"Cheng Feng is still here, what nonsense are you talking about!" Sui Ying kicked the attendant again, then smiled and said to Cheng Feng, "Cheng Feng, don't worry, the Emperor will definitely treat the Han family leniently!"

Cheng Feng's head was buzzing from the attendant's two questions: "What else did the Han family do?"

The attendant rolled his eyes. "The Han family has done far too many things to list!"

Suiying kicked her follower again, yelling, "Shut up!"

The attendant grew impatient: "Suiying, you're kicking me with your left foot and right foot! Aren't you going to let me eat?!"

Suiying also got anxious: "The Emperor is still hungry, and so am I, while you're eating with your mouth all greasy!"

The old steward stepped forward and whispered to stop them, "Stop arguing, are you trying to anger the Emperor to death?"

Suiying and her attendant both shut their mouths. Suiying squatted down and took out a fried yellow flower from the plate. The attendant immediately moved the plate to the other side of his body, not letting Suiying eat it!

Sui Ying wolfed down her food, finishing a whole yellow flower in the blink of an eye! "Stop being stingy, give me some of your good food, I'm starving!"

"If you want to eat, figure it out yourself. This isn't enough for me!"

Suiying reached out to grab the food and drink from her attendant, who then carried the food and drink up to the roof in the blink of an eye!

Sui Ying wiped her mouth in anger, turned around and went back into the main hall!

Cheng Feng waited until dusk fell and the city lights began to come on.

He watched as one minister after another entered the Hall of Mental Cultivation with trepidation, and left with furrowed brows.

The last one to come out was Ge Dongqing. He was entrusted by the emperor with an important task: to expose the criminals!

Seeing that Ge Dongqing could no longer walk, Cheng Feng asked, "Uncle Ge, do you want me to carry you to the palace gate?"

Ge Dongqing waved his hands repeatedly in fright and said in a low voice, "I have angered the Emperor to no end. Uncle Ge has been kneeling from beginning to end. Uncle Ge will not accept this little bit of punishment, but the Emperor will not be appeased! Nephew, Uncle Ge must atone for his sins by performing meritorious service!"

Upon hearing this, Cheng Feng's voice trembled with tears again, "Isn't it a good thing to atone for one's crimes by performing good deeds!"

"Uncle Ge only composed poems at Tingfeng Nunnery; he did nothing else, and he certainly didn't collude with the Han family!"

Cheng Feng was at his wit's end. "Uncle Ge, as long as you can prove your innocence before the Emperor, your nephew believes in you!"

Cheng Feng thought to himself, "This guy is just a lecher!"

Cheng Feng said a few words of comfort before Ge Dongqing limped away!

Inside the main hall, all was silent. Wan Lianxing sat on the dragon throne with his eyes closed. Suddenly, a pair of hands pressed against his temples, and Wan Lianxing opened his eyes abruptly. "Feng'er? What are you doing here?"

"I've been here for several hours, listening to you handle state affairs inside! The old steward just said you had a headache and weren't eating dinner, so he sent someone to fetch the imperial physician for you!"

"I'm so angry I'm full!" Wan Lianxing's voice was much lower, indicating that he was truly exhausted!

"But you can't skip meals! Uncle, let me help you lie down on the soft couch inside for a while!"

"it is good!"

Wan Lianxing fell asleep as soon as he lay down on the soft couch, incredibly fast.

The old steward invited Li, the chief physician of the Imperial Medical Academy, in; Wan Lianxing was still asleep.

The old butler whispered, "I'm exhausted. I barely slept a wink last night because of Zhuoyang's antics!"

Cheng Feng sat to the side, utterly speechless. He wanted to leave, but the old steward tried to persuade him to stay. Finally, the emperor finished his official duties and it was time to eat, but this man was asleep again. Was he here to see the emperor sleeping?

This put him in an even more difficult position; he couldn't leave, and he couldn't stay! Judge Li was also at a loss for words, and in the end, the man went outside to wait.

When Wan Lianxing opened his eyes again, it was already past midnight. Cheng Feng had also taken a nap by the wooden bed. As Wan Lianxing turned over, Cheng Feng opened his eyes as well: "Uncle, what time is it?"

"I was just about to ask you what time it is!" Wan Lianxing thought the man had already left, but he had actually fallen asleep next to him!

Hearing a sound from inside the house, the old steward walked in with a smile: "It's past midnight! Imperial Physician Li is still waiting outside. Let him come in and take His Majesty's pulse!"

"Let Imperial Physician Li go back and rest. I feel much better after a nap! Have someone get me some drinks! I'm thirsty!"

Seeing that Wan Lianxing had regained his strength, the old steward nodded in agreement. "The food is still warm. We'll have someone bring it to His Majesty right away, and also brew him a pot of aged tangerine peel tea!"

Wan Lianxing said, "I'm not hungry, I won't eat. Just have someone get me a pot of water!"

Cheng Feng sat up cross-legged on the couch. "You're not hungry? I am! I'm here waiting for you to eat. What's the point of me staying if you're not going to eat?"

Upon hearing this, Wan Lianxing said, "Then let's eat some!"

Soon a table full of food was laid out.

Sui Ying poured a cup of tangerine peel dew for each of them. While drinking the refreshing tangerine peel dew, Wan Lianxing observed the food on the table and asked, "Why are these two fish cooked like this?"

The attendant said, "It's too much! It looks rather unappetizing, and it tastes..." The attendant tasted a bite for everyone and finally gave a fair assessment, "The taste is just as bad as its appearance, very average!"

Cheng Feng didn't believe it. "Impossible! This fish looks incredibly flavorful."

The attendant said, "What do you mean by 'three parts flavor'? It just tastes burnt!"

"Nonsense, this fish is only delicious when it's cooked over a big fire!" Cheng Feng was practically saying that his wife made it, so it couldn't possibly be bad!

The attendant said, "Why don't you try it?"

Wan Lianxing didn't dare touch his chopsticks; no matter how he looked at it, the fish didn't seem appetizing. "Did the Imperial Kitchen change chefs?"

Cheng Feng took it upon himself to place a piece of fish on Wan Lianxing's plate, saying, "Your niece-in-law made this fish for you! Please try it!"

"Your niece-in-law made this? Then I must try it!" Wan Lianxing put down the tangerine peel dew in his hand and picked up his chopsticks.

The attendant laughed slyly, "Hahaha, hahaha, Your Majesty, tell the truth, what's the fish like?"

Wan Lianxing tasted it, then took another bite. "Is there something wrong with my mouth? You all pick up your chopsticks and try it!"

As soon as Wan Lianxing spoke, everyone picked up a piece of fish and said, "What a waste of these two big fish! How could the Princess have cooked them like this!"

Cheng Feng was also puzzled, "Why does this fish taste a little bitter? Is there something wrong with my mouth too?"

"Hahahaha, hahahaha!" The follower laughed even harder. "I told you it was just so-so!"
