While taking out the specialty dishes that His Highness liked to eat, which he had finally found out after years of practice, he did not notice the fear and depth in Ning Chen's eyes when he saw the dish.

He just laughed to himself.

"Your Highness, I heard that you caught a cold yesterday and called the palace doctor, so I thought of cooking for you myself. I am not good at speaking and my cooking skills are not very good, so I hope Your Highness will not despise me."

She stood aside, and after she finished speaking, she stared at Ning Chen with anticipation, and the affection in her eyes could not be concealed.

The tense atmosphere made me dare not breathe.

After the young eunuch tested the poison, Ning Chen started to pick up the chopsticks.

Zhou Liangdi stood by and served Ning Chen with chopsticks. Liu Dequan couldn't help but shake his head when he saw this scene.

Sure enough, no wonder His Highness was so angry yesterday when he suggested that he go to Zhou Liangdi.

This Zhou Liang Di is very polite, but he doesn't think she is His Highness's woman...

To put it bluntly, she sounds like your Highness's mother.

Ugh.

After the meal, Ning Chen continued to review the memorials, and then thought about asking Zhou Liangdi to stay and grind them.

The only sound in the study was the flipping of memorials. If you were not aware of the situation, you would probably think the atmosphere was extremely warm.

But Liu Dequan still stood there, acting like a wooden man.

He has followed His Highness for many years, and although he cannot predict all of His Highness' thoughts, he can occasionally make a rough guess.

Just like this moment.

His Highness was absent-minded. It was obvious that he kept Zhou Liangdi not because he liked her, but for other purposes. Also, the food Zhou Liangdi brought out just now were all his Highness's favorites.

But His Highness is very particular about the rules when it comes to dining. Except for when he is dining with Concubine Yu, he has never revealed his preferences in front of others.

It's obvious that Zhou Liangdi has practiced her craft for a long time.

He could clearly see the suspicion and fear in His Highness' eyes.

Suddenly, Ning Chen spoke slowly.

"I heard that you have a good relationship with Concubine Yu?"

Zhou Liangdi was originally immersed in the sweetness of getting along with His Highness, but the sudden words made her feel sad.

The corners of his mouth were slightly stiff.

"Well, to answer your Highness, I have a very good relationship with Concubine Yu. We hit it off right away."

Although she answered like this, Zhou Liangdi felt as if her heart was on fire.

She has been here for so long, and His Highness not only can't see her, but he is always thinking about someone else.

Did he leave her in the study because he had questions to ask about Tang Yu?

"Then, Concubine Yu didn't know about Gu's illness?"

Zhou Liangdi unconsciously clenched her hand holding the ink stick.

The smile was forced.

"I dare to ask, did Your Highness and Concubine Yu have an argument?"

"Today, after I and Concubine Yu went to Xingyue Palace to pay respects, I asked her if she wanted to come with me to visit His Highness. Maybe I said something wrong, but Sister Yu didn't look very happy. I have never seen Concubine Yu look angry. She has always had a good temper and rarely loses face. I wonder if His Highness has had anything with Concubine Yu. If His Highness doesn't mind, you can talk to me. Maybe I can give you some advice."

"Sister Concubine Yu has always been soft-hearted. If Your Highness can coax her a little, she will be fine."

She said this deliberately because she knew that His Highness would never lower himself to coax a woman.

I also vaguely guessed that the two had indeed had a quarrel and the reason.
