As the bone soup was boiled with deer bones along with Li Xiaoran’s spicy hotpot base, an aroma wafted out.
Fortunately, the cave was ventilated and the aroma spread from several places. When the mountain wind blew past the cliff, the people outside couldn’t smell anything.
Li Xiaoran had already asked someone to try it. That was why she was so bold as to cook hotpot with venison in the cave.
The venison tasted delicious with the spicy soup.
When the Eldest Princess smelled this aroma, she felt hungry.
“Sigh, Luo Cheng, Li Xiaoran, you have to give me a full meal even if I’m going to the guillotine. Give me some to try!”
When Luo Cheng heard the Eldest Princess’s words, he remembered that she was still there.
Thinking of this, Luo Cheng rinsed some meat and scooped up a large bowl of vegetables. Then, he made a new dipping plate and sent it to the Eldest Princess.
When the Eldest Princess saw Luo Cheng personally send it over, she was immediately stunned.
“Luo Cheng!”
“Eat! After eating this, I’ll send you to my third brother tomorrow! You and I both know what’s waiting for you! On account that you’ve helped my father many times in the past, I’ll let you have a full meal!” After Luo Cheng glanced at the Eldest Princess, he turned to leave.
“I’m sorry!” As the Eldest Princess looked at Luo Cheng’s back, she suddenly said with regret.
‘You don’t have to say that to me!” When Luo Cheng heard this, he stopped but didn’t turn around. “When you go underground, tell that to my father!”
When the Eldest Princess heard this, tears fell. It was unknown if she felt regret or if she felt some other emotions.
The venison hotpot dispelled everyone’s fatigue.
They went to bed early that night and everyone slept soundly.
Early the next morning, Luo Cheng left a few people to look after the cave while he left with the others.
On the way back, Li Xiaoran learned about the current situation in the capital from Luo Cheng.
Although King Fu had arranged enough guards around him, the Third Prince caught him off guard from the secret pa.s.sage.
After the capital’s door opened outside, it would take some time to rush from the city wall to the palace.
After Mr. Zhennan and General Guo rushed over, they finally subdued the royal family.
Prince Fu slipped away when he saw that the situation wasn’t right.
Later on, they searched the capital for many days but couldn’t find Prince Fu. They had no idea where he had gone.
On the other hand, King Fu committed suicide after the Third Prince entered the palace.
Before he died, King Fu realized that the Eldest Princess had tricked him. No one told him that there was actually a secret pa.s.sage in the royal family.
Of course, it was also King Fu’s fault for being too anxious. As soon as he sat on the throne, he wanted to kick the Eldest Princess aside. The Eldest Princess was naturally not stupid enough to tell Mr. Fu all the secrets, so she hid information about the secret pa.s.sage.
Fortunately, the Eldest Princess hid this matter, which gave the Third Prince and the others a chance. Only then were they able to quickly attack the royal family and capture King Fu.
As for Prine Fu, he hadn’t been seen since he disappeared. No one knew where King Fu’s son, Ling Wei, had gone.
“Prince Fu actually escaped?!” When Li Xiaoran heard this news, she frowned and said, “Husband, I have a bad feeling that Prince Fu will cause us big trouble in the future!”
When Luo Cheng heard Li Xiaoran’s words, he pulled her into his arms and patted her head gently.
“Don’t worry, I’ll protect you! I’ve already asked someone to pay attention to Prince Fu’s whereabouts. I believe it won’t be long before we find him! ” When Li Xiaoran heard this, she thought of something. “Husband, do you think perhaps Prince Fu will go to Eagle Village?” After Luo Cheng thought about it, he felt that it was possible.
“How about this? I’ll send people to Eagle Village, Shatai Village, the coal mine, and the mine to take a look. We might be able to find Prince Fu!”
“There’s another place. Don’t forget the family who raises cows!” Li Xiaoran thought of something and reminded him.
“Yes, don’t worry. I’ll arrange for someone to keep an eye on them!” Luo Cheng said.
As they spoke, the group had already arrived outside the capital.
After Luo Cheng said something to Li Xiaoran, he got out of the carriage. After Li Xiaoran lifted the curtain, she saw Ling Heng standing in a pavilion not far away.
Luo Cheng looked at Ling Heng and said with a smile, “Third Brother, I’ve brought the Eldest Princess over. Get someone to escort her to the prison!”
“Are you really not going to stay and watch my coronation?” Ling Heng couldn’t help but ask again.
Luo Cheng replied with a smile, “Third Brother, I’ve already told you that my greatest wish is to live a carefree life with Xiaoran! King Fu is dead, so I’ll leave the dynasty to you! You’ll be a good emperor. Don’t forget your initial purpose and be yourself! As for me, living a carefree life is good enough!”
“There’s no need to leave so quickly!” Ling Heng said reluctantly.
Luo Cheng shook his head and refused, “As you know, I don’t have a good impression of the capital! Therefore, I’d better leave! Third Brother, I will congratulate you on ascending the throne in Sichuan! In the future, if you need my help, feel free to ask!”
Seeing this, Ling Heng could only sigh and watch Luo Cheng leave.
To be honest, Ling Heng was very envious of Luo Cheng sometimes!
He really didn’t have any ambitions for power. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have left so decisively!
Unfortunately, it would be difficult for the brothers to meet again in the future!
Ling Heng understood that his seventh brother had his own life and he had his own ambitions. They were doing all of this for the sake of a better reunion the next time they met again.
“Seventh Brother! Just you wait! I’ll definitely try my best to create a prosperous era so that you can live the life you want!”
Li Xiaoran watched as her man returned to the carriage. Then, she looked at him with a smile as she asked, “Do you know what you’re giving up?
Luo Cheng smiled when he heard Li Xiaoran’s words. “I only know that I’ve been holding on to what I need the most!”
With that, Luo Cheng grabbed Li Xiaoran’s hand!
When Li Xiaoran heard this, she leaned on Luo Cheng’s shoulder with a smile!
It was this smell and the rhythm of this heartbeat that inexplicably brought her a sense of security!
“Husband, let’s go home! This time, we can develop our business properly. It’s time to hold a food festival!”
Luo Cheng nodded and replied expectantly, “Alright, we’ll hold a food festival when we get back!”
