When the broken cake appeared in front of Song Yunli, she didn't know what words to use to describe her feelings at the moment, so she waved her hand and put her arm around Gu Liuqing's neck, saying proudly: "Qing'er, come with me, sister will take you to find something delicious!"

"Sister, how can we get in with so many people?" Gu Liuqing drooled as he looked at the various foods in the imperial kitchen. Unfortunately, a drop of saliva fell on Song Yunli's forehead.

Why did it seem that when he mentioned food, he no longer stuttered and his expressions were complete and clear? Was it her illusion?

"Qing'er, I'll go to the firewood room next door to light a fire. While there's chaos in the imperial kitchen and everyone is busy putting out the fire, you hurry in and get the food. Remember to take the biggest roast chicken and the plate of crystal shrimp dumplings next to it. Do you understand?" Song Yunli patted Gu Liuqing, who had a confused face, in disappointment. She was really not afraid of god-like enemies, but was afraid of pig-like teammates!

"Qing'er understands! Roast chicken! Bring the roast chicken!" Gu Liuqing nodded like a chick pecking at rice.

After a while, thick smoke rose from the palace garden of the imperial kitchen. First, a clear child's voice shouted, "It's on fire! Everyone come and put out the fire!" Then there were responses one after another, and the imperial kitchen was suddenly in chaos.

Gu Liuqing seized the opportunity and slipped into the imperial kitchen like a loach, running towards the largest roast chicken with a clear goal!

Because the smoke was too hot for the eyes, Song Yunli bent over and covered her mouth with a wet handkerchief, and whispered, "Qing'er, where are you? Are you done? The fire over there is almost out, come out quickly."

"Sister, wait a moment, this roast chicken is too big, and Qing'er hasn't found a box to put it in yet." Gu Liuqing was rummaging for the food box on the stove with sweat on his forehead, but he was extremely excited in his heart, as this roast chicken would surely be enough for him and his sister to eat for many days.

"Forget it, I'll go in and help you."

When Song Yunli found Gu Liuqing, whose face was covered in black, she almost wanted to hit her head against the stove. What was wrong with her to bring him to the imperial kitchen to steal food! Brother, is that a roast chicken on the plate? It's obviously a red-skinned suckling pig! It's strange that you can find a food box that can hold it. You need to use a bamboo pole to carry it.

"Qing'er, you're wrong. Let's go get that one..." Song Yunli tugged at Gu Liuqing's sleeve.

Gu Liuqing glanced at the roast chicken not far away, then looked at the roast chicken in front of him, and shook his head stubbornly, "No! Qing'er wants this one!"

"Where did this little thief come from!" A sharp and piercing roar came from the door! In the blink of an eye, the door of the imperial kitchen was blocked by a crowd of eunuchs and palace maids with dusty faces looked angrily at the two people beside the stove. The firewood room was patrolled by special eunuchs every day, so there would be no fire for no reason. It must be these two little thieves who set the fire to steal things. And even if they didn't set the fire, there must be a scapegoat for today's incident, otherwise if the superiors were furious, their heads would be in danger.

It’s over, I’ve been caught!

In the Longxing Palace, the emperor was discussing the redeployment of border defenses with several important ministers. Since this matter involved the future direction of the Nanyue Kingdom, Feng Muyan and Feng Yixuan were also called here.

Seeing that it was almost noon, the emperor said cheerfully: "Thank you for your hard work, my dear ministers. Please stay in the palace for dinner today."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" All the ministers bowed their heads in gratitude. After an incense stick, the emperor frowned and asked with some displeasure: "Fang Ming, go to the imperial kitchen and see why the meal hasn't been served yet at this time, is it..."

"Report!" A young eunuch ran in in a panic and knelt on the ground with a plop. "Your Majesty, two thieves set fire to the imperial kitchen. We were in a hurry to put out the fire and delayed the serving of the meal. Please forgive us! The two thieves have been tied up by us and are waiting for your punishment outside the palace."
