Las cosas malas suceden a menudo

Capítulo 174

Shuangdie covered her mouth and chuckled, her silver eyes wide as she looked at Li Ge, exclaiming in surprise, "So Prince Ande can cook!"

Li Ge regained his composure, shook his head, and said calmly, "I have been wandering since I was a child. When I was in Juechen Valley, no one cooked for me. In order to fill my stomach, I learned some simple home-style dishes that are not presentable."

Qingyun was slightly taken aback, a sharp pain piercing her heart. Li Ge's words were like a tiny needle, so light and small, yet capable of inflicting the most fatal pain.

When Shuangdie and Yu Wuxia heard Li Ge's tone, they didn't want him to recall the past, so they just smiled and let it go.

Soon after, they finished their dinner, chatted for a few minutes, and then went home.

Before leaving, Situ Xingyun seemed to want to say something to Qingyun, but Qingyun took a big step and left so fast that no one could react.

Back at the Snow Palace, Qingyun couldn't help but wonder what Shuangdie's intentions were in inviting her to dinner. She was certain that Shuangdie had ulterior motives, but she still hadn't figured them out.

But then she thought again, perhaps Shuangdie's intentions hadn't been fulfilled tonight, because even she hadn't expected to encounter Situ Xingyun. In front of Situ Xingyun, she probably wouldn't dare to do anything!

Suddenly, a voice came from behind.

"Woman, you're moving too fast."

Qingyun pursed her lips and replied, "I don't like the air in the Butterfly Palace."

"Sigh..." Li Ge sighed softly. He stepped forward, took Qingyun's wrist, and examined it before he breathed a sigh of relief.

Qingyun blinked and asked, "Is Li Ge also worried that she might poison her?"

Li Ge nodded.

Suddenly, Qingyun remembered that glass of wine. A strange melancholy welled up in her heart. "Lige, how are you feeling now?"

“Foolish woman! I wasn’t the only one who drank that wine; the Emperor drank it too. She wouldn’t dare to poison the Emperor. Besides, if anything happens, she’ll be the prime suspect.” Li Ge gently patted her hand. “Woman, don’t worry.”

Qingyun smiled, her lips pursed. Only then did she feel slightly relieved.

A short while later, she suddenly remembered what Li Ge had said at the Butterfly Palace that evening. A playful thought crossed her mind. She pursed her lips, then said seriously, "Li Ge, I just discovered something today!"

Qingyun's expression was very serious and solemn.

Li Ge also sat up straight, his expression equally solemn.

"What is it?"

"It's something very, very important." A hint of heaviness crept into Qingyun's eyes.

The surrounding air suddenly became heavy.

"What's so important?"

Qingyun pursed her lips and said slowly and deliberately, "So the revered Divine Physician Lige was actually a liar!" After saying that, she chuckled, her eyes shining brightly, making it hard to look away.

Li Ge smiled helplessly and tapped Qingyun's head with his hand. "Woman, you're playing me!"

"How dare I! Even if I had a hundred lives, I wouldn't dare to mess with Prince Ande!" Qingyun chuckled to herself, then looked puzzled. "But why did you lie to them? Even if they found out, at most they'd just ask you to cook them a meal."

At this moment, Li Ge's expression turned serious. "Woman, do you know why?"

Qingyun shook her head honestly.

“Because—” Li Ge smiled slightly, a gentle light shining like starlight in his eyes, “My cooking skills can only be tasted by my wife in this lifetime.”

As expected, Qingyun's face also turned red.

"Then—" Qingyun suddenly smiled slyly, "You wanted me to be your wife a long, long time ago?" She remembered that when she first entered Juechen Valley, he cooked for her.

Now it was Li Ge's turn to blush.

Although the candlelight was dim, Qingyun could clearly see the rosy glow that captivated her. She leaned forward, slipped her hand through his arm, and gently embraced him.

"Li Ge, when we're free and no one is controlling us anymore, will you teach me how to cook?"

Li Ge's heart trembled, as if some very warm liquid was flowing through her heart.

"not good."

"Why?"

"I'm afraid you'll burn the kitchen down."

"Fine! You dare underestimate me! I am the invincible and renowned Qingyun!"

"You once burned my pear tree in the Valley of Desolation."

"..."

So the woman with a criminal record obediently shut up.

Li Ge gently embraced her, a warm smile in his eyes.

She was the apple of his eye; he cherished her so much that he would never let her, who had never lifted a finger before, cook.

The stars are shining, the night is long, but tomorrow will be a sunny day.

Volume Three: Truth and Falsehood in the Palace, Two Medicinal Instructions (Part 1)

Qingyun often leaves her fans heartbroken. The reason is simple: her output is too slow! She used to publish five or six books a year, but in the last year or two, it's been almost one book every six months, or even one a year. Some even suspect she's run out of creative ideas, which has really frustrated everyone. Because of this, Qingyun has earned the nickname "Snail Girl."
