The Prime Minister's Darling novel Chapter 963

Chapter 963: 444 The Originator of Pitfalls (Third Update)

Because of Xiao Liulang’s affair, the emperor was heavily burdened, and he showed little joy upon seeing the recovered Prince Ning.

"My son has no trouble now, and soon I’ll be able to go out with Second Brother to search for Xiao Xiuzhuan."

The emperor sighed. Still recovering from serious injuries, by reason, he ought to rest in bed, but the emperor didn’t reject Prince Ning’s suggestion—he was indeed too eager to find Xiao Liulang as soon as possible, even if it was just a corpse.

"Right, have the assassins who attacked you last time been caught?"

Prince Ning glanced at Gu Jiao without a trace, and Gu Jiao was not the least bit guilty. Prince Ning’s mouth twitched, and he said to the emperor, "In response to Father Emperor, not yet."

The emperor said coldly, "Continue the investigation. To attempt assassination of a prince at the foot of the Son of Heaven, it’s as if they’re rebelling against the heavens!" _{freeweɓnøvel.com}

Prince Ning said, "The matter has been handed over to Jingzhao Residence. I believe there will be news soon."

Gu Jiao’s expression remained unchanged as she withdrew her hand from taking the emperor’s pulse, "Your Majesty, you have been having an excessive fire in your liver recently, and your diet needs to be light."

Eunuch Wei said, "His Majesty has hardly been able to eat anything recently! Miss Gu, please help convince His Majesty, this old servant’s words are of no use!"

Eunuch Wei really was the best divine teammate, so in sync without a script!

Gu Jiao sighed, "Then why don’t I stay and have a meal with His Majesty later, just in time to celebrate Prince Ning’s recovery as well."

Prince Ning looked deeply at Gu Jiao.

The emperor didn’t notice the undercurrents between the two; he nodded, "Good, you two brothers should also stay for the meal." He paused, then added, "Call Xiaoqi as well."

Eunuch Wei laughed, "Prince Xiaoqi has classes today at Guozijian."

The emperor chuckled and patted his forehead, "I’ve been so busy I forgot."

Gu Jiao said, "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager really likes the Fresh Flower Cakes I make. I will also make some for you to try."

The emperor smiled, "Good."

Not long after lunch, Gu Jiao’s Fresh Flower Cakes were also ready. She personally brought the steaming Fresh Flower Cakes to the Study Room. The Fresh Flower Cakes were served on a dish with delicate small plates, also accompanied by dried and fresh flowers—extremely appealing to the eye.

"Your Majesty." Gu Jiao picked up a piece of Fresh Flower Cake and handed it to the emperor, and then she handed another piece to the Crown Prince.

The emperor, knowing Gu Jiao’s skills, ate it without a second word.

The Crown Prince was a bit disdainful, how good could something made by a country girl be?

He glanced at his father emperor, but still reluctantly ate it.

With just one bite, he felt invigorated.

How could this girl’s culinary skills be so excellent!

Prince Ning was seated further away, so Gu Jiao handed it to him last.
