When Song Biyun saw Li Xiaoniang roll up her sleeves and stare at her fiercely, she was no longer afraid.

Before she took action, she couldn't help but feel apprehensive every time she saw Li Xiaoniang like this, but after the fight, she realized that she wasn't so scary after all.

Why should she have to let Li Xiaoniang torment her?

"If he hadn't been so fickle, how could this have happened?"

"What did you say?" Li Xiaoniang raised her voice, like a screeching hen, "You've really gone too far now, completely disregarding us!"

If I don't teach you a lesson today, you'll really get out of control!

Song Biyun was no longer afraid of Li Xiaoniang. Between hitting and being hit, she chose to hit.

……

After Song Ruozhen returned to the manor, she learned that the prince had sent someone to say that he was busy with affairs and would return later.

"Your Highness has been working so hard lately, spending every day at the Dali Temple. I wonder when this case will be finished," Bai Zhi couldn't help but sigh.

Song Ruozhen thought for a moment and said, "Tell the kitchen to prepare more food. We'll go to the Dali Temple to visit the Prince later."

As the Princess Consort of Chu, she should have been properly observed in such matters. In the future, the Prince will likely have to deal with the Dali Temple frequently. Moreover, this time, it was thanks to the Dali Temple that the truth was uncovered and their innocence was cleared.

While the kitchen staff were busy preparing food, Song Ruozhen also made some medicinal cuisine and sent it over.

Back when the prince was on the battlefield, he often didn't have time to eat. Now, under her care, he eats on time every day, and his stomach pain has improved a lot.

Having previously contracted the plague, even though I have a good constitution, I still need to rest well and not overwork myself.

Prince Yun has been resting in his residence for the past few days because he has contracted the plague and been poisoned. Huan'er visits him every day.

When Song Ruozhen arrived at Dali Temple, she saw that it was bustling with activity. She stood outside and waited for a while, and someone went in to inform them.

Chu Junting was flipping through the confession in his hand. He had to admit that the more he investigated, the more clues he found. Following the trail, he discovered that even they were shocked by the number of people involved.

However, some of these names are code names, and they still need to examine them one by one.

"Your Highness, the Queen Consort of Chu has arrived."

Upon hearing this, Chu Junting looked up and saw Yan Zheng with a smile on his face. "I heard that Princess Chu brought a lot of food. We're all in for a treat today!"

Prince Xiao, who was standing to the side, also raised his head and looked at Chu Junting, who was smiling. He sighed as he thought about how the position of his queen was currently vacant.

Since the incident, Lu Xue became a concubine, and Qing Lan became a mistress.

He didn't want to see Qinglan again, and Luxue seemed to be completely heartbroken, no longer caring about him. Although they were both in the Prince's Mansion, they almost never met.

Only then did he realize how much Lu Xue had done for him during the years they were married.

Not only will she brew him a pot of his favorite hot tea when he comes back, but she will also thoughtfully prepare his clothes for each day. Furthermore, based on his preferences and for his health, she will have the kitchen prepare a variety of meals for him every day.

Chu Junting did not notice the fleeting look of dejection on Xiao Wang's face. He went out to welcome Song Ruozhen in.

"Why did you come all the way here in person?"

Chu Junting spoke gently, reaching out to take the food box from her hand. Noticing its weight, he frowned slightly: "So heavy?"

"I thought you were all busy with official duties and should have a good meal, so I prepared extra food."

Song Ruozhen smiled slightly, "Chenxiang and Baizhi have also brought the food, and it has already been delivered to the others."

"Thanks a lot."

Chu Junting felt a warmth in his heart. He knew that his wife was meticulous in everything she did. She had not only come to visit him, but also to save face for him!

Yan Zheng saw the two appear at the door and came to greet them.

"I've heard before that the chefs at the Prince of Chu's residence are very skilled, and I'm fortunate enough to have the chance to try their cooking today!"

Song Ruozhen smiled faintly, "Lord Yan, you've really worked hard. Thank you for investigating the truth and giving us justice."

"Your Highness is too kind. Investigating the truth is what I should do. Besides, the King of Chu did not do such a thing. Even without me, everyone would have found out the truth and given you justice."

Yan Zheng smiled broadly. Ever since he witnessed Song Ruozhen's abilities last time, he was truly amazed.

As the food was taken out one by one, everyone smelled the enticing aroma.

"The other dishes are all made by the kitchen, but I made the chicken soup myself. I added some medicinal herbs to it, which is good for nourishing the body."

Song Ruozhen pointed to the chicken soup in front of her, which contained some precious medicinal herbs and was very nourishing.

Chu Junting served himself a bowl, and after just one sip, he realized that the taste was indeed different from ordinary chicken soup, and was exceptionally delicious.

Although medicinal herbs were added, the flavor was not strong; on the contrary, it added a unique aroma.

Yan Zheng and Xiao Wang each filled a bowl, and upon drinking it, their eyes lit up.

"The Princess Consort of Chu's cooking skills are so good! No wonder the King of Chu insisted on marrying you no matter what. He really hit the jackpot!"

Yan Zheng couldn't help but chuckle. A girl who was skilled in metaphysics, had superb medical skills, and was also a great cook, had beauty that was simply the least important thing.

No wonder the King of Chu had been reluctant to marry before, but suddenly changed his mind after meeting Song Ruozhen. No man would let such an opportunity slip by!

"Lord Yan is too kind."

Because of what happened before, Prince Xiao still harbors some resentment towards Song Ruozhen. If it weren't for the Song family, things wouldn't have escalated to such a serious extent.

He was severely reprimanded by his father and lost face, but after tasting it, he couldn't help but be amazed; it was indeed stunning.

Lin Zhiyue must be an idiot to give up Song Ruozhen for Qin Shuangshuang. Otherwise, if she had become the wife of the Marquis of Lin, none of this would have happened.

After everyone finished their dinner, Song Ruozhen didn't plan to stay long. However, seeing Chu Junting looking at the booklet in his hand with a furrowed brow, she asked, "What trouble have you encountered?"

"During our investigation, we found a booklet. All the people in the booklet had dealings with Grand Tutor Ling, but they were all listed under code names."

The Ling family members had already been executed; this booklet was only discovered later.

Chu Junting didn't hide anything, pointing to the three names written on the other side, and said, "It should be one of those three."

Song Ruozhen looked at it carefully, pointed to one of the names and said, "It's him."

"You calculated that?" Chu Junting was slightly taken aback.

Song Ruozhen smiled slightly, "For us metaphysicians, the most common method of fortune telling is to calculate based on a single character."

Your scope is so small, and the two names are inherently related, so it's naturally easy to calculate.

Yan Zheng's eyes lit up. "That's right! Years ago when I had my fortune told, the master also asked me to write down a word, and it turned out to be accurate!"

"It seems we've finished today's business ahead of schedule. Wait for me, I'll pack up and we'll go back together."

Chu Junting chuckled softly, looked at Yan Zheng and Xiao Wang, and said, "I've finished my business for today, so I'll be taking my leave now."

Yan Zheng: "..." I can't help but envy that!
