“How did such a thing happen?” Li Xiaoran was worried.

“Guess what the outcome was?” Duan Sha kept them in suspense at this critical moment.

Li Xiaoran thought for a moment and said, “Meng Yan and Ma Chongshan must still be together! With my understanding of Meng Yan, I guess these two people must have disobeyed the decree!”

Duan Sha said with a smile, “As expected of Meng Yan’s good friend. You know her temper so well! That’s right. Ma Chongshan disobeyed the decree and went straight to Meng Yan to elope! Meng Yan said that they weren’t in the wrong. They were engaged first, so the two of them barged into the royal family with the imperial edict and went straight to meet the emperor! The emperor was furious and the royal family reshuffled the cabinet. Some officials in the palace were stripped of their positions.”

“Where’s the princess?” Li Xiaoran asked the main point.

Duan Sha said with a smile, “That princess’s title was stripped and she was forced by the emperor to go to the royal temple to pray! After all, the princess used the emperor’s name to snatch someone else’s husband. Therefore, she had to be punished!” Duan Sha said with a smile, “Don’t underestimate the royal temple. It’s really a good place to cultivate! There’s vegan food and the lifestyle is peaceful!”

Luo Cheng thought of something when he heard Duan Sha’s words.

“You mean Clear Spring Temple?”

Duan Sha nodded. “That’s right. It’s Clear Spring Temple!”

“If it’s that place, the princess will suffer! It seems that Father is really angry about this!” Luo Cheng said.

“Clear Spring Temple? What kind of place is that?” Li Xiaoran asked curiously.

Luo Cheng explained, “Clear Spring Temple is a place specially built by our royal family to punish our clansmen. The rules of Clear Spring Temple are very strict. They stipulate when to get up, sleep, and eat every day. In addition, we have to do morning classes and all kinds of manual labor. We also have to farm to support ourselves! In the temple, no matter what your identity is, you won’t get any preferential treatment and will only do the same job. If you don’t finish the work arranged, you can only starve, be punished, and be beaten up!”

“Husband, how do you know so much? Could it be that you’ve been sent there before?” When Li Xiaoran heard this, she had a bad feeling.

“I was, but I wasn’t sent in by others. I snuck in myself! At that time, my brothers came looking for trouble with me all day long. I found them annoying, so I hid in Clear Spring Temple. I saw what I just said with my own eyes!” Luo Cheng said, “To be able to make Father so angry that he sent her to Clear Spring Temple, it seems that this princess has really crossed Father’s bottom line!”

“Didn’t you ask me whose family this princess belongs to?!” Duan Sha suddenly said.

When Luo Cheng heard Duan Sha’s words, he looked at Duan Kaiyuan and thought of something.

“Prince Fu’s daughter, Princess Lin Xi?”

“That’s right, it’s her!” Duan Kaiyuan nodded, affirming Luo Cheng’s guess. At the mention of Prince Fu’s daughter, Luo Cheng understood what was going on.

One had to know that Prince Fu and the emperor were brothers. No wonder Princess Lin Xi dared to snatch a man by force!

“Then what happened to Meng Yan and Ma Chongshan?” Li Xiaoran didn’t care about the princess. At this moment, she wanted to know her good friend’s situation.

“Consort, don’t worry! Meng Yan and Ma Chongshan are fine. Prince Fu sent people to assassinate Meng Yan and Ma Chongshan, but the two of them were prepared and didn’t let Prince Fu succeed at all. Later on, the emperor issued a decree for Prince Fu to return to his fief. Prince Fu had no choice but to leave dejectedly!” Duan Sha told them the final outcome.

Luo Cheng reminded, “I know my uncle very well! Although he looks very meek, he’ll definitely get revenge in the future. Xiaoran, you should write a letter later and get someone to send it to Miss Meng! Remind her not to let down her guard! My uncle is patient and vicious! Just because he can’t do anything to them now doesn’t mean that he won’t do anything to them in the future! After Prince Fu leaves, they have to be more careful!”

Li Xiaoran nodded and remembered Luo Cheng’s words. She planned to write a letter to remind Meng Yan after lunch.

On the other side, the delicious smell of roasted duck wafted out from the house again.

In addition, Li Xiaoran still had to deal with the matters in the kitchen.

Li Xiaoran originally planned to make sweet-skinned ducks and pressed ducks today, but there were guests today. Li Xiaoran couldn’t abandon Duan Sha and go cook.

Therefore, Li Xiaoran could only let Shu Ruyue accompany her while she marinated the ducks. She planned to make them into roasted ducks today and make sweet-skinned ducks and pressed ducks tomorrow when she was free.

The others had no objections. After all, the roasted duck from yesterday tasted very good. They had only taken a few bites before it was gone.

There were so many ducks today, so they could eat roasted duck to their hearts’ content.

At noon, some spicy braised pork and roasted duck were sent up. Li Xiaoran and Luo Cheng sat at a table, while Duan Kaiyuan and Duan Sha sat at a table.

The first time they tried spicy braised food, Duan Sha and Duan Kaiyuan choked and got teary-eyed.

Later on, they felt a little better after eating roasted duck. However, towards the end, the siblings felt that the spicy braised food tasted very delicious.

Duan Sha thought of something and asked, “Consort, will these things be sold on the food street in the future?”

“Of course! In the future, if you want to eat them, you can buy them from the food street!” Li Xiaoran said with a smile.

Such delicious food couldn’t be kept a secret!

Li Xiaoran had planned to open a shop on the food street since long ago.

Of course, all of this depended on the workshop’s successful construction. Otherwise, everything would just be wishful thinking.

Duan Sha was overjoyed by Li Xiaoran’s preparations.

To be honest, the delicacies she had eaten today had made her appetite soar.

Previously, in the capital, although they had eaten a lot of delicious food, they felt that something was missing.

After eating such spicy braised dishes today, Duan Sha realized that she might have a natural love for spicy food.

In the past, she had never tasted spicy food, so she felt that something was missing in her life. Now, she had finally found the taste she liked.

Duan Kaiyuan also liked these two dishes very much. He thought that if possible in the future, he would get someone to bring some to the capital for his family to try in the winter.

However, to Duan Kaiyuan’s surprise, when winter arrived, his family would already have eaten these things without him having to ask anyone to bring them back.
