Flowers bloom without worries

Chapter 119 I will definitely find out the truth (1)

Finally, it was Lan Xi who broke the silence: "Your Majesty."

Hearing the voice, Xiao Chuhan frowned slightly, but soon regained his composure and said in a cold tone: "Empress, how come you have time to come to my imperial study today?"

Lan Xi bit her lip lightly, then raised her head with a smile on her face, and replied softly: "Your Majesty, you have not visited Jingxin Palace for a long time. I have specially made some of your favorite cakes and wanted to send them to Your Majesty to taste."

"Oh? It's rare that the Queen is so thoughtful." Xiao Chuhan raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said with a smile.

As Lan Xi spoke, she looked into the imperial study. This was where the ancient emperors handled government affairs, read and wrote - the imperial study! She had only seen it in TV dramas before, but she didn't expect to experience it in person today. She couldn't help but feel curious.

"Your Majesty, don't you want to invite me in and have a seat?" Lan Xi turned her head and looked at Xiao Chuhan, her eyes gleaming with anticipation.

"Well, since the Queen has said so, then come in." Xiao Chuhan thought to himself, he wanted to see what this Wuyou, who had always been free and unrestrained, was up to and why he was suddenly so attentive to him.

Lan Xi carried a basket full of cakes and gently stepped into the heavy and gorgeous door of the imperial study. As soon as she entered the room, Lan Xi was deeply attracted by what she saw - this imperial study was almost exactly the same as the one she had seen on TV.

Lan Xi slowly walked towards the bookshelf, her eyes sweeping over the neatly arranged books. These ancient volumes exuded a mysterious and alluring atmosphere, as if they hid endless wisdom and stories. She carefully placed the basket on the ground, then pulled out a book and gently turned the pages. Lan Xi was very careful, fearing that the books would be damaged if she was not careful. Lan Xi cherished this opportunity to enter the imperial study.

For Lan Xi, who has never experienced time travel and lives in modern society, she is extremely eager for knowledge. Although in modern times, as a killer, Lan Xi has also learned some necessary knowledge, that knowledge is far from satisfying her inner desire for understanding the world. Since Lan Xi was a child, the organization has taken a fancy to her talent and trained her to be a cold-blooded, emotionless professional killer.

Lan Xi stared at the book in her hand intently, trying to read the old words and pictures in it. However, due to the differences in time and cultural background, she found it difficult to understand the contents of the book. But even so, Lan Xi still loved the feeling of being immersed in the ocean of knowledge.

If she could start her life over again, Lan Xi firmly believed that she would never choose to be a killer, and she would not let herself become so cold and heartless. At this moment, Xiao Chuhan silently watched Lan Xi in front of him. He signaled Xing Ye beside him to leave, leaving him alone to observe Lan Xi quietly, not wanting to disturb her quiet time at this moment.

Time passed by bit by bit, and Lan Xi finally slowly put the book back to its original place on the bookshelf. She gently picked up the bamboo basket and walked to Xiao Chuhan's side with light steps.

“If cakes get cold, they lose their texture.”

Lan Xi said softly as she placed the basket on the table and opened the lid. She then carefully took out pieces of exquisite pastries from it and placed them neatly on the table.

“Try it.”

"it is good."

Xiao Chuhan sat down in response, picked up a piece of cake and took a bite. In an instant, his originally calm face showed a strange expression, and all of this was seen by Lan Xi.

"Is it not delicious? Why do you look like that?" You know, as a professional killer, Lan Xi is quite knowledgeable about cooking, and making delicious food is one of her essential skills. There is no way she would fail in this regard.

“Not really… it’s delicious.”

After swallowing the food in his mouth, Xiao Chuhan explained: "I have never tasted this unique flavor before. Although it feels strange, it is quite delicious."

"That's natural. You've never tasted it before." Lan Xi murmured in a low voice.

“What did you just say?”

"Ah, there's nothing else to say. If you like it, eat more." Lan Xi responded with a smile.

Before long, Xiao Chuhan swept away all the pastries that Lan Xi had carefully prepared. Looking at the empty plate on the table, Lan Xi couldn't help but feel an unprecedented sense of satisfaction and accomplishment. This feeling was really new to Lan Xi.

"The emperor liked it so much that he ate all the cakes I made in one go?" Lan Xi asked softly with a slight smile on her face.

"This is the delicacy you cooked specially for me, how can I let it down?" Xiao Chuhan responded as if it was a matter of course.

"Since Your Majesty likes it, I will make some other flavors for you to try next time." Lan Xi said softly.

"Well, this is a good idea." A rare smile appeared on Xiao Chuhan's stern face, expressing his agreement.
