Chapter 6 — Luong De Gluttony
This type of drug is not a drug that can directly kill a person, it only causes the stomach and intestines to become weak. Normal people will be exhausted if they eat it, but if Luc Ky eats it, he will easily vomit blood. Unfortunately, they encountered a person with a gluttonous appetite and a picky mouth like me. Just by smelling and tasting a little, I knew there was something wrong with the food. "Tham Tu Te, do you think that you were completely unaware of your collusion with the Second Prince?" Tham Tu Te suddenly raised his head, his eyes filled with extreme fear. "Your Highness, please forgive me..." "Father, Tham Bien tu bewitched the maid of the East Palace to poison my son, and even intended to blame Thinh Luong Di, your heart is worth it.“Your Highness, please spare my life…” “Father, Tham Bien has bewitched the maid of the Dong palace and poisoned my son, even trying to blame Thinh Luong brother, his heart deserves to die!” “I beg your father to strictly investigate Tham Tu Te!” The old Emperor's face was already as black as the bottom of a pot. He immediately threw the tea cup in his hand towards Tham Tu Te. "Where are you? Take off Tham Tu Te's mandarin uniform, escort him to Dai Ly temple, and severely interrogate him!" The Musketeers fiercely rushed in and pulled Tham Tu Te out. The banquet quickly ended. On the carriage ride back, I looked at Luc Ky who was resting with his eyes closed, feeling all kinds of emotions in my heart. I always thought he was just a sick Crown Prince who needed others to comfort him before he would eat. But just now, I saw his sharp, decisive and deadly side. "So majestic." I muttered in a low voice. A thin, suspicious red layer appeared at the base of Luc Ky's ear. He turned his head to look out the car window. "What did you just say?" "Nothing. I said I'm hungry." "Just now at the banquet, I was only worried about arguing, I'm completely not full." "You!" Luc Ky glared at me angrily, his molars squeaking. The carriage stopped in front of the Eastern Palace gate. Cong Ly happily ran out to welcome him. "Your Highness, Luong Di, the small kitchen has made your favorite grilled goat ribs. The fire is just cooked, it's delicious." My eyes immediately lit up. "Hurry up and bring it up!" Returning to the marinade, the goat ribs were quickly brought up, grilled until crispy, the fragrance spread everywhere. I unceremoniously picked up a piece and nibbled it. While eating, I noticed that Luc Ky was still staring at me. "Your Highness, do you want to eat too?" I instinctively picked up a piece of goat rib and handed it over. Luc Ky looked at the greasy ribs and frowned slightly. Just as I was about to withdraw my hand, he suddenly leaned forward and took a bite right on the rib in my hand. I was frozen in place, my mind blank. Luc Ky slowly chewed the goat ribs. After swallowing, he used a handkerchief to wipe his mouth. "A bit salty." I looked at him, my heart beating like a drum. 12 That night, the "big rat of the East Palace" was completely exposed. Because not only did he eat the goat ribs I left behind, he also conveniently drank half a bowl of sour apricot soup to relieve his nausea. He eats and drinks with integrity! He even brought food in front of me, saying that I rarely have an appetite, so I probably won't compete with him. The next morning, I had two dark circles under my eyes, staring at Luc Ky. He calmly let the maid wash his face and comb his hair, as if the person who had cheated on him last night was not him at all. "Your Highness, I think we need to talk." I said seriously. Luc Ky asked the palace maid to retreat and sit in front of the table, raising his eyebrows at me. "What are you talking about? Talking about how your eating appearance last night was too ferocious, did it scare you?" I slapped my palm on the table. "Talk about that mouse with an ever-growing appetite!" "Your Highness, if you want to eat, can't you eat it during the bright day?" "You must secretly eat it in the middle of the night. I'm still worried that one day you won't be able to digest it." Luc Ky looked at his appearance. I puffed my cheeks angrily and suddenly burst into laughter. He smiled beautifully, his eyebrows and the corners of his eyes dilated, like ice and snow that had just melted. "Thinh Ha." He suddenly called my name, his voice
low and gentle. "It's not that you don't want to eat during the day, it's just..." He stopped for a moment, looking at me with deep eyes. "You're used to it." "Used to seeing the things you left behind, used to the fact that you'll be out there watching over you." I was taken aback, my heartbeat seemed to stop for a moment. He reached out and gently pinched my slightly round cheek. "Before, this Eastern Palace was like an ice cellar. Every day I just tried to endure it." "Until you appeared." "The look of you eating and drinking, the look of you arguing with others, the look of you protecting her... everything was full of life." "Seeing you, I felt like I was still alive." I felt my face immediately heat up, the heat spreading straight to my ears. "So... so then Your Highness must eat more." I stammered. "I still expect your Highness to get fatter, then protect me." Luc Ky smiled softly, pulling me into his arms. Although his chest is not large, it is very warm. "Okay." "I agree with you, I will eat all the delicious food in the world with you." Tham Tu Te's case quickly had results. Dai Ly himself investigated and discovered that he had joined the Second Prince. The Second Prince's faction not only formed factions for their own benefit, but also embezzled and took bribes, harming many people.
