But he didn't want to miss such a good opportunity.
So he licked his lips and said,
"I want to go to Lin Changzai's courtyard for a meal."
The emperor was a bit surprised when he heard this.
But then he thought about it, the small kitchen in Lin Wanyi's courtyard indeed made good food.
It seemed the child had enjoyed his lunch and now wanted more.
Looking at the sky outside, he said to Dong Yuzhong,
"Immediately send someone to Huifang Courtyard to inform them that I and the Second Prince will be dining there. Tell Lin Changzai to prepare."
"Yes."
He didn't care if there was enough food at Huifang Courtyard, he just needed to give the order.
Hearing that he could go to Huifang Courtyard again, the Second Prince was so happy he almost jumped up.
Seeing his excited expression, a trace of pity flashed in the emperor's eyes.
Then he remembered what Physician Dou had said.
"The Second Prince has been poisoned for a long time, so Your Majesty should replace everything around him that he can ingest."
Simply replacing the ingestible items was treating the symptoms, not the root cause.
Replacing the servants as well would completely eliminate future troubles.
Thinking of this, the emperor came up with a plan.
Seeing the Second Prince's expression, he gradually became more peaceful.
In Huifang Courtyard, Lin Wanyi stood at the door with a dutiful smile, waiting.
She thought the emperor had gotten tired of coming here recently, and she could have some peace.
Unexpectedly, another order was sent over.
Having dinner wasn't a complicated matter.
But it was a pity for Chunqi and Xiao Luzi, who were busy in the small kitchen without a break.
If she were eating alone, one meat dish, one vegetable dish, and one soup would be enough.
But now, the emperor was coming, and the Second Prince was coming too.
So at least six dishes were needed.
Fortunately, Chunqi was always prepared, so although busy, they were not flustered.
As night fell,
When Lin Wanyi saw the lanterns leading the way, she knew the emperor and the Second Prince had arrived.
"Your servant Lin Changzai greets Your Majesty and the Second Prince."
The emperor responded with a "Hmm" and then raised his hand.
When Lin Wanyi stood up, she saw the Second Prince also respectfully greeting her.
"Greetings, Lin Changzai."
"No need for such formalities, Second Prince."
This child, who had been so unruly at noon, was now much more polite.
As the emperor and the Second Prince entered the room, she glanced at Qiu Ming.
Qiu Ming immediately came forward and whispered in her ear,
"The momo serving the Second Prince, Chai Momo, committed suicide due to negligence and embezzlement."
Negligence?
