The emperor had sent many imperial physicians to check Lan Ruozhu’s physical condition. When Lan Ruozhu was still in the mansion, the emperor wanted the imperial physician to cure the former.
Then he sent Lan Ruozhu to his fief after learning the severity of Lan Ruozhu’s condition. Otherwise, the emperor would feel uneasy letting Lan Ruozhu go to the county.
Furthermore, before Princess Lan died, she set up a scheme to use public opinion to pressure the emperor into letting Lan Ruozhu go to his fief.
The emperor and the other forces never expected Lan Ruobing to reincarnate after her death. Moreover, Su Binglan could now cure Lan Ruozhu and restore his health. She could also help him with taking revenge.
She revealed a determined expression after thinking of this. “But, if you acknowledge me as your adopted sister to the people, you must have an explanation to stop everyone from becoming suspicious.”
Lan Ruozhu did not care what others thought but had to consider Su Binglan’s safety. He feared the emperor would order her to visit his palace and meet him. Lan Ruozhu knew the emperor would undoubtedly test Su Binglan.
Killing intent filled Lan Ruozhu’s eyes when he thought about the emperor, who was now sitting in a high position among the people. The deceased royal’s mansion and its people had protected the country, but the emperor plotted to kill the royals and even harmed their twins.
Lan Ruozhu could not take it. However, he endured everything until he could finally take revenge. After some thought, he said, “Then we won’t announce it to the public for now. Still, we should let the mansion’s people know your true identity.”
Su Binglan agreed it was possible. She would first lie low because it was best not to spread the county news to the capital.
Then Su Binglan also told Lan Ruozhu about her life in Su Teng Village. She discussed the delicacies she had developed, her parents, and her brothers.
As Lan Ruozhu listened attentively, he felt he had never left his sister’s side and had participated in her new life as Su Binglan. After listening to her stories, he was thrilled for her, especially since she could do many things she had always wanted to do.
‘My sister is always so kind and loves helping people.’
Lan Ruozhu had never allowed his sister to cook. He did not know her culinary skills would improve after regaining her memories. Therefore, he thought of trying his sister’s cooking.
“I’ll cook for you tonight, Brother. I’d like you to try my food.”
When Su Binglan lived as Lan Ruobing, her culinary skills were not impressive. After all, her soul and memories were fragmented, causing her to forget how to cook many delicacies.
However, things had changed, and Su Binglan remembered the cooking methods of various delicacies. She also had many ingredients in her pocket dimension to make herbal dishes for Lan Ruozhu.
Since she was helping her brother recuperate this time, she believed his condition would improve soon. Moreover, the necessary herbs needed to cure her brother were in her pocket dimension.
She also had the herb she had accidentally found on the cliff near a mountain stream when she went to the capital to save Su Wenxiu last time.
‘It seems this herb will come in handy now.’
Although Lan Ruozhu wanted to try his sister’s cooking, he did not want her to tire herself out. “Sister, you must be tired after traveling here from Su Teng
Village. We have people here to help with the cooking.”
Su Binglan could guess her brother’s thoughts at a glance and a sentence. She knew he cared for her.
She smiled lightly and said, “I won’t tire myself out, Brother. You were always the one who cooked for me in the past. This time, it’s your turn to try my food.’
‘Brother hasn’t fully healed yet, so adding herbs to his food will quicken his recuperation.’
Lan Ruozhu looked at his sister’s lively appearance and felt his heart return to normal. He was also looking forward to eating his sister’s food. There was a faint smile in his eyes, and the melancholy in them dissipated.
Blue Eagle was excited and thrilled. ‘The princess has returned. King Lan
Ruozhu hasn’t smiled for a long time but looks happy now.’
It was evening, but he felt more sunlight shining into the room, warming his heart. Although Blue Eagle was a Shadow Guard and knew he should not show emotions, he still felt like crying for some reason. Nonetheless, he was happy.
Su Binglan entered the kitchen and started cooking. Meanwhile, Lan Ruozhu felt much better after receiving acupuncture treatment and medicine from his sister.
He no longer felt tired as he let Blue Eagle steer his wheelchair into the kitchen. After all, it was good for Lan Ruozhu to watch from the sidelines. However, he was shocked when he saw his sister’s knife skills and how skillfully she lit the fire.
Su Binglan knew Lan Ruozhu’s current condition, so she made food that was easy to digest. She also knew he did not like sweet porridge, so she made congee with a century egg and lean meat with herbs.
She also made ribs, rice, and mashed potatoes. She ensured the ribs were tender and the mashed potatoes were easier to digest. Although Lan Ruozhu could not nourish himself too much at first, he could eat as he pleased once he fully recovered.
He smelled the fragrance and looked at his sister’s busy figure, his heart filled with warmth. Moreover, he felt what it was like to live as an ordinary person.
Su Binglan also made some fish balls and a tofu dish. She made many things because she wanted her brother to taste a little of everything. Then she let the Shadow Guards taste her cooking, too.
She thought she had not made enough but fed more than ten Shadow Guards. The guards were stunned after eating the food Su Binglan had made. They widened their eyes, even though Shadow Guards typically never showed emotion. That was because the food was too delicious, and they were too excited.
“I’ve never tasted anything this delicious before.”
“Whoa. I never knew such delicacies existed.’
“Sure enough, it’s not just a rumor that Teng County has the tastiest food.”
Blue Eagle looked at everyone’s expressions and asked, “Have you all forgotten that you’re Shadow Guards?”
Everyone quickly straightened their backs after hearing that. They could not help themselves because the food was too delicious, and they had never eaten such delicacies.
Moreover, they felt their master was the happiest they had seen and were delighted.
“If you enjoy the food, do it discreetly. Don’t be so loud.”
The Shadow Guards’ widened their eyes even more as they wondered if the Blue Eagle before them was still their unsmiling and cold leader.
‘Are we hallucinating? Blue Eagle is smiling and seems so easy to talk to. He would’ve punished us long ago for behaving so openly.’
Blue Eagle was in a good mood, making him more pleasing to the eye. After all, the princess had finally returned..
