My restaurant connects to the demon realm, and I've become incredibly wealthy!

Chapter 288 An Unspoken Secret

Only those who have good intentions towards her can hear her true feelings; this is an unspoken secret known to everyone in the capital.

“You, get up…” Lu Yaoyao’s voice was childish and sweet.

Tell the waiter kneeling on the ground to get up quickly.

[Oh dear! It's so hard to talk! He's fine now after taking my medicine, and he won't catch any more diseases!]

Everyone should stay far away from that woman.

The waiter got up and quickly brought her some peach blossom cake.

The people who heard his words all shook their heads and vowed to run away as soon as they saw that woman!
Fortunately, they were able to hear the little princess's thoughts, otherwise they would have been in trouble.

After the farce ended, the three went upstairs to a private room.

Lu Yaoyao ate the peach blossom cake given to her by the waiter, her big eyes blinking as she looked Yue Hongchen up and down.

The pink hue between his brows had deepened.

[It seems that woman hasn't given up on Yue Hongchen yet; now she's even eyeing my father. This won't do!]

[This woman is no good; she became best friends with Su Yan'er and almost brought down the Great Yu Dynasty.]

I'm going to find a chance to kill this woman.

Lu Xiao's lips twitched: ......
What should I do if my daughter is a bit violent?
Let them do the work that kills people.

Moon Red Dust: ······
What's the meaning behind this young princess's constant urge to kill people?
Isn't this girl being too violent?
"Here you go..." Lu Yaoyao took out a bead and handed it to Yue Hongchen.

To save his life, let's give him a talisman to protect him!
She's still a little kid; you can't keep an eye on him all the time.

This bead is a divine talisman bead that can help him ward off all disasters, including that woman.

Any woman who tries to get close to him will be kept at least three meters away.

That way, she can only look but not touch, making that woman drool with envy!
"What is this?" Yue Hongchen asked, holding the beads. They were very pretty, pink beads.

It seemed to contain totems that he couldn't understand.

Yue Hongchen considered himself the Imperial Advisor, capable of observing celestial phenomena and drawing talismans—something he had never even seen before.

"Pig, Pearl..."

Lu Yaoyao's speech is often unclear; she can only speak in complete sentences when she is anxious.

"Oh dear! It's a divine talisman bead. With this bead, that ugly woman won't be able to get near you."

Lu Yaoyao was heartbroken and couldn't speak out; who could understand her feelings?

Lu Xiao was a little jealous. He knew that his daughter had a space, and he knew that there must be a lot of good things in it.

Why would she give something good to an outsider instead of her father?
Lu Xiao found Yue Hongchen increasingly displeasing!
"Since it was given to me by the little princess, I will always wear it with me." Yue Hongchen solemnly put the bead into her purse and carried it with her.

Seeing that he had put it on, Lu Yaoyao breathed a sigh of relief.

"Dad, let's go home." Lu Yaoyao threw herself into Lu Xiao's arms.

The chubby little face rubbed against Lu Xiao's face.

[Hehe! Daddy's a handsome guy too, let your daughter rub against him.]

Lu Xiao enjoyed her daughter's affection, carefully pulled her into her arms, and gently patted her back. "Okay, let's go home."

The father and daughter left affectionately, leaving Yuehong alone in the wind, her carriage disheveled.

He also really wanted to be rubbed against by the little princess.

Back at the Prince's residence, the father and daughter met Yu Tan's eyes, which seemed to be both smiling and not smiling.

【Oh no! I'm coming home so late, Mom's going to beat me.】

[Hahaha! No! Daddy, help!]

Lu Yaoyao hugged Lu Xiao's neck even tighter.

Lu Xiao comforted her, "It's okay, Daddy will protect you."

He then walked confidently to Yu Tan, took a deep breath, and gave her a spineless, ingratiating smile.

"Hehe, honey, you're still not resting?"

He stumbled while chasing the wind.

Your Highness, where is your dignity? Where is your backbone? Lu Yaoyao stared wide-eyed at her father. Is he really that spineless?
Lu Xiao rolled his eyes. What's more important than his wife, his dignity and backbone?

"Laugh! What's so funny? Do you guys really have to come back so late after going out?"

"Look at the time!" Yu Tan was quite angry. She had been nervous all day taking the child out to play.

He had intended to teach the father and daughter a lesson, but one sentence from him ruined his plans.

"It won't happen again! I had something to do today and came back a little late."

If it weren't for his daughter insisting on going out for roast duck, they wouldn't have come back so late.

"This is the last time," Yu Tan said, glaring at him irritably.

I took the child from him.

"Absolutely not," Lu Xiao assured him.

Lu Yaoyao felt secretly pleased to see her father taking the blame for her.

Be nicer to your father from now on!

The next day.

Lu Yaoyao was still asleep when Lu Xiao carried her to court.

A somber atmosphere filled the imperial court.

"Your Majesty, the envoy from the Northern Kingdom has come to demand the release of their princess, claiming she has been captured by the Dali Temple. What should we do?"

Zhou Ye, the newly promoted Minister of the Court of Judicial Review, was also in a dilemma.

To put it mildly, that woman almost killed someone and should be severely punished.

On a larger scale, they came to negotiate, and if things go wrong, it could affect diplomatic relations between the two countries.

He couldn't make up his mind, so he came to ask the emperor for instructions.

"I have heard about this matter. Such lawlessness in my Great Yu Dynasty cannot be tolerated. Go tell the envoy from the Northern Kingdom that I have not yet investigated why their princess came to the Great Yu Dynasty without any reason! What more explanation do they want?"

When other countries visit, they all have a list of envoys, but the princess's name is not on their list.

He could easily arrest the princess as a spy.

Lu Xiao also agreed with his father's approach, "Lord Zhou, I ordered the arrest of these people. If they are not satisfied, they can come and find me. The most important thing now is disaster relief."

The Northern Kingdom came to negotiate because it was also suffering from a drought that had not been seen in a century, just as the Great Yu Dynasty was.

The Great Yu Dynasty was still somewhat acceptable, with its vast territory and abundant resources, but it couldn't last long.

The Northern Kingdom is just a small country. Once it encounters a natural disaster, let alone fighting a war, it's hard to say whether people can even survive.

The advantage for them lies in the peace talks.

Lu Yaoyao woke up groggily and heard their conversation.

"Grandpa Huang."

Lu Yaoyao looked up and smiled, revealing a few small white teeth, which was very cute.

"Oh my! My granddaughter has woken up?"

The emperor quickly picked her up and placed her on the table so she could sit down.

Lu Yaoyao sat on the table and casually picked up the jade seal to crack walnuts. This scene was already commonplace for everyone.

"Grandpa, here's the walnut." Lu Yaoyao handed the cracked walnut kernels to the emperor.

The emperor chuckled, took the food, and popped it into his mouth. "My granddaughter is the most filial."

With a smile, Eunuch An handed the emperor a bowl of tea to rinse his mouth.

[Grandfather must be worried about the drought again, right? Things are alright in the capital, but the north can't wait any longer; many people are starving to death.]

I wish I could go to help with disaster relief! I have plenty of food.

She has more food in her space than she can eat, and she can't just give it away for free; you have to pay money to buy her food.

The ministers in the court looked at each other in bewilderment. What did the little princess mean?
Does she have a lot of food?

Nowadays, grain is incredibly expensive in Beijing, let alone in other places.

If what the little princess said is true, and she has grain in her hands, wouldn't the people be saved?
