Chapter 25: The Tyrant Is Jealous

Su Yuan could not tell if Feng Junyi was joking from his tone.

But she quickly understood that the tyrant was jealous.

His jealousy was not the kind of jealousy between couples. Instead, it stemmed from the fact that his possession got cozy with another guy.

Su Nuan feigned ignorance. She tilted her head and said, “Isn’t this little thing too small? If we fry it, there will only be bones left. If we stew it and eat it, there’ll be too little meat. Big Brother Emperor, how about we eat bear paws? And roasted deer meat! I’ll cook it for you. It’s delicious.”

She knew that the more nonchalant she acted, the more Feng Junyi would let his guard down.

If she acted like she cared about the little pet, he might really throw it into a pot of oil and fry it..

Feng Linche wanted to cry.

The two of them are exactly the same.

Hearing this, Feng Junyi said indifferently, “Alright.”

Before the sky turned dark, a bonfire had already been set up outside.

Su Nuan was afraid that the Eldest Princess would cause trouble again and specially begged Feng Junyi to allow Eunuch Wang to wait on Su Qinghan outside his tent.

She even secretly ordered Eunuch Wang to stay outside the tent and not leave at all. She wanted to prevent the Eldest Princess from approaching.

Although Eunuch Wang did not understand her reasons, he stood guard at the tent entrance obediently because it was the Empress’s orders.

There were several large pots set up outside. The animals were killed, skinned, and washed clean before being thrown into the big pots to be stewed. Then, of course, some were placed over the bonfire to be roasted.

Su Nuan watched as the imperial chefs, who usually made exquisite dishes in the palace, allowed the nobles of various countries to mess around with the food. She felt that it was such a waste.

Fortunately, she snatched the only deer.

The guards skinned the deer, cleaned it, and placed it on the big table in front of her.

She instructed Zhen Zhu to bring the condiments and box out. She took a look at the deer meat and began to order the guards around her to marinate the deer meat with salt and honey.

She was not in a hurry. After they finished marinating it, she waited for the fire to burn down to coals before asking the guards to set up a rack. She took a metal fork and pierced it through the deer meat, flipping the meat around over the fire to roast it.

The huge pile of charcoal was burning brightly. The deer meat that was placed over it soon started to sizzle.

On the other side, the people who roasted the meat on open fire had already started eating. However, the meat was charred. One look at that was enough to spoil Su Nuan’s appetite.

Su Nuan felt that cooking the food well was the minimum respect for it.

Feng Linche, who was next to her, could not help but drool.

“How is it? Is it done? I can smell the fragrance,” he kept asking her.

He took out a dagger and was about to slice a piece of the deer meat when Su Nuan hit his hand with a stick.

“It’s not done yet, why are you in such a hurry? More haste, less speed, do you understand?”

This was also her first time roasting deer meat. When she went out to eat barbecue with her friends in the past, she was most passionate about roasting food for everyone.

Feng Linche was not angry even though she had slapped him on the back of his hand. Instead, he looked at the soft and cute little girl and chuckled.

When the deer meat was roasted properly, Su Nuan calmly took the dagger, gently sliced off a piece of meat, and placed it on a clean plate.

She then sprinkled some cumin powder and chili powder over it and picked up a pair of chopsticks. Finally, she moved closer to Feng Junyi. “Big Brother Emperor, ah…”

Feng Junyi had a strange look on his face, but he opened his mouth obediently.

Feng Linche had been craving for it since the fragrance tempted him for a long time. So when he saw this, he couldn’t help but look forward to Feng Junyi’s response.

“How is it?”

Feng Junyi was not stingy with his praise. “It’s crispy on the outside but tender on the inside. It’s oily but not greasy. It tastes like something I’ve never tasted before. It’s not bad.”

“Oh, then the meat is cooked and can be eaten.”

Feng Junyi thought, So you gave me a piece of meat to test if it’s cooked?

But when his eyes fell on the girl’s little fingers, he gave up on pursuing the matter.

Only she would dare to be so straightforward.

Su Nuan took the dagger and sliced another two pieces of meat, placing it on the plate. She continued to sprinkle the seasoning as if nothing had happened.

Then, she picked up a pair of chopsticks and placed the meat into her mouth.

Having been here for so long, this was the first time Su Nuan had tasted roasted meat. She thought that it was very delicious.

On the other side, Su Qinghan, who was lying in his tent, slowly opened his eyes.

There was a commotion outside. It seemed like everyone was eating roasted meat around the bonfire.

Because he had been attacked by the bear, his entire body felt like it was being torn apart.

Most importantly, he still had a fever.

He was thirsty and knew that someone was waiting outside the tent, so he mumbled with a hoarse voice, “Water, I want water…”

However, his voice was so soft that the person at the door did not seem to hear him.

However, he knew that it wouldn’t be long before someone would come in to take care of him throughout the night.

As long as I secure this woman and capture her heart, she will do everything she can to help me.

He did not know why things had changed. For example, when he was hunting, he would have hunted a rare and beautiful red fox. Then, that idiot, the Third Prince of Shang Nation, would come and snatch it.

To his surprise, instead of encountering a fox, he encountered a large brown bear. He was so badly wounded that he almost died.

It’s no big deal. I still have many opportunities.

Sure enough, there were sounds outside the tent.

“Let me in.”

It was a girl’s voice. When he heard her voice, he felt that she must be a kind and beautiful girl.

However, another voice gently said, “Your Highness, you are an esteemed Princess of Shang Nation. The Prince of Yun Nation is inside this tent. If you go in like this, I’m afraid it may damage your reputation. Of course, if Your Highness has any orders, why don’t you instruct me, and I’ll pass on the message for you?”

The pleasant girl replied, “I’m just going in to take a look. I’ve brought some tissue regeneration ointment. His injuries were so serious today. The imperial physicians are worried he won’t be able to last through the night. He’s a prince after all. If anything happens to him, I’m afraid it will bring us trouble.”

Eunuch Wang, who was standing guard at the door, couldn’t help but sigh secretly. The Empress’s predictions were accurate. The Eldest Princess really came to deliver medicine.

And she even brought precious tissue regeneration ointment.

He overlapped his hands before his chest slightly and said, “Since Your Highness is here to deliver medicine, why don’t you allow me to deliver it on your behalf? Don’t worry, Your Highness. I will do my best to carry out the tasks you’ve given me.”

“Alright, then bring this tissue regeneration ointment in and apply it on him.”

As soon as she said this, the sounds of footsteps grew farther away.

Su Nuan was full, so she asked Zhen Zhu to brew some tea to wash away the greasy feeling.

But after she finished her tea, she realized that she would not be able to sleep at night if she drank tea now.

Feng Junyi had insomnia, but she made him drink tea just now…

I’ve committed a crime.

She asked Zhen Zhu to take a stroll with her to help digest her food better. Before she knew it, she had arrived at the tent that Eunuch Wang was guarding.

Eunuch Wang was still waiting outside the tent. Su Nuan asked, “How is my older brother doing now?”

Eunuch Wang almost dozed off, but Su Nuan’s voice snapped him awake.

He hurriedly overlapped his hands before his chest and reported, “Just now, Her Highness brought ointment and asked me to apply it for His Highness. I have already applied it for him, and his wounds should be fully healed soon. As for whether he can endure through tonight… We can only leave that to fate.”
