The Queen seemed to be quite annoyed by this.

Luo Nianxi kept rubbing her fingers back and forth, thinking in her mind how to explain this matter.

At this moment, Ling Xiao's voice came from outside.

"Your Majesty, Prince Yan said he was hungry and asked Princess Yan to make him something to eat."

Hearing this, Luo Nianxi knew that this guy came to rescue her.

The emperor immediately turned cold towards Ling Xiao.

"It is said that Princess Yan has never ordered food from the kitchen. Where does the food come from?"

Ling Xiao took two steps forward calmly and saluted:

"Princess Yan said that the food prepared in the kitchen was too greasy and not suitable for the prince to eat, so she cooked porridge for the prince herself."

This sentence surprised Luo Nianxi. Even if Ling Xiao wanted to save her, he couldn't come up with such a lame excuse, right?

Just as she was speechless, the queen asked again,

"Ling Xiao, are you serious?"

"I dare not deceive the emperor and the queen. The stove was built by Lingyun, and the stove utensils and rice were bought by me on the street."

Luo Nianxi couldn't help but secretly admire Ling Xiao's wit in her heart. She immediately nodded in response.

"Guardian Ling is right. The prince always lies in bed and does not move. His gastrointestinal function is not good and he cannot eat anything too hard. After I came, I heard that he did not eat, so I guessed that the food cooked by the cook was not to his liking, so I asked Guard Ling to prepare a set of tableware for me. I cooked some porridge for him, such as vegetable porridge and sweet potato porridge, so that he can avoid diarrhea and it is easier to digest..."

"You're talking nonsense..."

Madam Liu interrupted her again and turned to look at the Queen.

"My lady, from what I have observed, there has never been any smoke coming out of the prince's room. How did she make a fire to cook? This is obviously a lie. Also, how does she explain the chair with wheels?"

Before Luo Nianxi could open her mouth to refute, Ling Xiao showed an unhappy face.

"Madame Liu, you seldom go to the backyard, so of course you don't see the fire and smoke in the backyard. Also, that wheelchair was indeed made by the princess. We found the materials according to the princess's request. The princess spent a lot of effort to let the prince go out for some fresh air. Now you are doubting her? Is this a reason for you to complain to the queen?"

This……

Madam Liu was speechless for a moment, and Ling Xiao pressed on, clasping his fists and saying:

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Prince Yan just said he was hungry and asked Princess Yan to personally cook him some porridge..."

Hearing this, the Queen glanced at the Emperor and waved her hand at Luo Nianxi.

"Go make porridge for Yan'er first! I'll call you later if there's anything else."

She was very happy to hear Yan'er say he was hungry, because it meant that Yan'er had given up his determination to commit suicide.

Hearing this, Luo Nianxi felt as if she had been pardoned. She bowed quickly and followed Ling Xiao, escaping from here.

Walking in the corridor leading to the backyard, she couldn't help but praise Ling Xiao:

"Ling Xiao, thank you for your rescue."

Ling Xiao scratched his head a little embarrassedly.

"How dare I lie to the Emperor? This is what the prince told me to say."

Leng Yiyan?

Luo Nianxi curled her lips. This guy was still doubting her yesterday, and now he comes to save her today?

Ling Xiao couldn't help but whisper a reminder,

"Princess, don't be complacent. Someone is following us."

Hearing this, she frowned and looked back with her peripheral vision.

Sure enough, they saw Zhuhua, the palace maid beside the queen, and a few young eunuchs following behind them.

She breathed a sigh of relief and slowed down her pace. Zhuhua came over at this moment. There was no respect in her eyes. She looked at Luo Nianxi with disdain.

"Princess Yan, the Queen asked me to come and see the breakfast you prepared for the prince, and to ask if there is anything you need."

Luo Nianxi knew in her heart that these words were just lies. Queen Jiang was suspicious of her and specially asked her personal maid to take a look.

But Ling Xiao's words just now were to excuse her. What should she do now?

She frowned and looked at Ling Xiao with some embarrassment.

Ling Xiao walked a few steps forward with her and asked in a low voice,

"Can you... cook porridge?"

Cooking porridge?

In her previous life, she went to a five-star hotel to learn cooking skills, so cooking porridge was certainly no problem for her.

She nodded immediately, and Ling Xiao breathed a sigh of relief. He then gave her a look with a relaxed expression, and she knew that it seemed that she was ready.

She looked at Zhuhua with a relaxed expression.

"Since the Queen has ordered it, then follow me!"

After saying this, she turned around and walked towards the backyard nervously.

When she arrived at the backyard, she didn't know which way to go, so she blinked and glanced at Ling Xiao, who quickly reminded her:

"Princess, the prince said that you should go to Qingfeng Pavilion and cook the porridge first and bring it over directly."

Oh, so she has been cooking porridge in Qingfeng Pavilion...

After secretly expressing her gratitude to Ling Xiao, she went straight to Qingfeng Pavilion.

When she opened the door, she was stunned by the scene in front of her. In this room, there was not only a stove, but also rice, flour, grain, oil and some vegetables...

This... this equipment is too complete!

At this time, Ling Yun, who was making a fire, got up and

"Princess, the fire is ready."

She looked at Ling Yun's face full of dirt, suppressed her smile and nodded.

"Okay, thank you for your hard work. I will cook some vegetable porridge for the prince today!"

Ling Yun raised his sleeves with some concern, wiped the sweat off his face, and nodded repeatedly.

"Thank you, Princess."

As he said this, he glanced at Zhuhua standing at the door and waved his arms impatiently.

"What are you guys doing standing there? Block the wind. This stove is hard to light. Stay away, stay away."

Zhuhua frowned and took a look at the furnishings in the room and Luo Nianxi who was busy in front of the stove. She rolled her eyes at Ling Yun, turned around, and left with the eunuchs behind her.

Watching them walk away, Ling Xiao hurried into the house.

"Princess, please go and rest. I will leave now."

"It's okay. The prince didn't have breakfast anyway, so it's a good opportunity for him to have some porridge. Fortunately, you prepared everything. Otherwise, I really don't know how to explain it to them."

Ling Yun hurriedly explained,

"The prince guessed last night that the emperor and the queen would come, so he asked us to prepare. When you went to the front hall, we were just setting up here."

Oh?

She really didn't expect Leng Yiyan to be so thoughtful. She immediately regretted getting angry with him last night.

Ling Xiao and Ling Yun looked at each other and asked curiously,

"Um...Princess, we don't understand what you and the prince have been eating these days."

When this question was mentioned, Luo Nianxi was speechless for a moment.

She looked at the two of them staring at her with curious eyes, and she wondered how she was going to explain this to them?

After her brain worked rapidly for a while, she said mysteriously:

"Since you asked, I'll just tell you, but you have to promise not to tell anyone else."

Ling Xiao and Ling Yun nodded seriously.

She tightened her forehead and muttered softly:

"In fact, the prince didn't eat or drink before because he was tired of the food in the palace. In order to prevent him from starving to death, I sneaked out of the palace to buy him food. This is a secret. You can't tell outsiders, otherwise, others will think I want to harm the prince."

"But...but we have been guarding the door all day, and we haven't seen you go out? And that wheelchair..."

She glared at them directly. These two guys were quite smart. She was too lazy to explain, otherwise the more she explained, the more problems would arise.

She cleared her throat and asked in a low voice:

"Have you forgotten what the prince said? Curiosity kills the cat. You just need to know that I will not harm the prince. Don't ask any more questions."

Although Ling Xiao and Ling Yun were still puzzled by this, seeing that she did not want to say more, they simply stopped asking.
