The Rebirth of the Deposed Empress

Chapter 11 Peach Blossom Soup

In fact, Ye Buhuo already knew all this. The reason he was unable to pick up Hua Wuke just now was because he was in the study listening to Ye Yi's report.

When he asked Hua Wu Ke, he was afraid that she would not be willing to tell him, and would keep all the grievances she suffered to herself as she did before.

Now that the two have finally reconciled, he hopes Hua Wu Ke can go back to being the carefree Third Miss and no longer suffer any grievances.

He was ready to use gentle persuasion to get Hua Wu Ke to open his heart to him.

When Ye Buhuo suddenly heard Hua Wu Ke tell him everything without any defense against him, he couldn't help but slightly curl the corners of his lips.

As they were chatting, the housekeeper suddenly walked in.

"Miss San, please go to the dining hall for lunch. The prince knows you are coming and has asked the kitchen to prepare your favorite dishes."

Hua Wu Ke was about to respond when he saw Ye Bu Huo put his fist to his lips, coughed twice, and pretended to change the subject casually:

"After lunch, let the imperial physician take a look at your injuries."

Ye Buhuo seemed to be shy. Hua Wuke pursed his lips, feeling a little amused.

Come out of the main hall and walk through the corridor to reach the dining room.

Hua Wu Ke has loved spicy food since he was a child, but the food in the palace is light.

After marrying Ye Chuji in her previous life, she had never touched chili peppers again. As soon as it was served, she set her eyes on the braised fish in front of her.

"You are only allowed to taste it. Your injury hasn't healed yet, so you can't eat too much spicy food."

Ye Buhuo added another bowl of peach blossom soup to Hua Wuke:

"I remember you used to like this peach blossom soup the most. Now it's autumn and there are no fresh peach blossoms.

This peach blossom soup is made from peach blossom honey from last year's peach blossoms. Try it and see if you like it."

Hua Wu Ke really used to like this sweet and non-greasy peach blossom soup the most.

In the first year after Ye Chuji ascended the throne, Hua Wu Ke took Qing Lan to pick peach blossoms and met Hua Fuying who was admiring the flowers in the garden.

Hua Fuying's maid spoke rudely to Hua Wu Ke, and Qing Lan was so angry that she went forward to argue with him, but was pushed into the lake and hit the reef, and never woke up again.

Hua Fuying brought her maid to cry to Ye Chuji.

She said that the Queen Mother deliberately destroyed her favorite peach blossom, and Qinglan beside her pushed her, and the maid attacked and hurt people to protect her.

Ye Chuji only listened to Hua Fuying's one-sided story and concluded that she, as the queen, was intolerant and the maids around her did not abide by the palace rules.

He immediately ordered Qinglan's body to be thrown into a mass grave.

After that, Hua Wu Ke never drank peach blossom soup again.

Now tasting this familiar flavor again, Hua Wu Ke couldn't help but tears up in his eyes as he held the peach blossom soup.

Ye Buhuo has been paying attention to her silently.

Seeing her eyes reddened, he touched the corners of her eyes and asked softly, "Not to your liking?"

In her previous life, Hua Wu Ke married Ye Chu Ji for the sake of "cooperation". She had no feelings for him at all, and had never felt the warmth between a man and a woman.

Now being asked so gently by Ye Buhuo, Hua Wuke couldn't help but blushing, and said to Ye Buhuo with a smile:

"It's delicious, but I haven't had it in a long time. I'm a little too happy."

Ye Buhuo rubbed the little girl's pink cheek with his fingers, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

He felt that the indifference and alienation of the past two years were like a gust of wind. Now that the wind has stopped, the person in front of him is still the little girl who has been by his side since childhood and called him Brother Buhuo.

After the meal, Hua Wu Ke prepared to leave the palace to visit the Hua family army’s base in the capital.

Hua Wu Ke had just sat firmly in the carriage when Ye Buhuo followed.

"What are you doing?"

"Before General Hua left the capital, he entrusted the Hua family army that stayed in the capital to me. It's a good opportunity for me to go and take a look with you."

"Have you no carriage?"

"broken."

"Just a carriage?"

“It’s all broken.”

"..."

The garrisons of the Hua Family Army and the Xuantie Army are adjacent to each other, both located in the suburbs outside the city.

From a distance, I saw Hua Liu waiting at the door.

As soon as Hua Wu Ke got off the carriage, Hua Liu came forward and said, "My Lord, Third Miss."

Hua Da to Hua Liu were all raised by the Hua family since childhood. The other five followed their grandfather to the border, leaving Hua Liu in the capital to be in charge of the Hua family army that remained.

Hua Wu Ke first asked Hua Liu to take him to see the roster.

She flipped through the book several times but couldn't find the person she was looking for. She turned around and asked Hua Liu behind her:

"Are all the members of the Hua Family Army here?"

"Only General Hua and Old General Hua are qualified to see the complete roster. I only have the list of those who stayed in the capital, which is not complete."

I didn't pay attention to it just now, but now I realize that this booklet is too thin, and my father and brother's names are not on it.

Hua Wu Ke thought to himself that it seemed that the person was not in the capital.

Leaving the study room where he usually handles military affairs, Ye Buhuo asked Hua Wuke:

"Who is Sui Sui looking for?"

In his previous life, his father was murdered by a man named Mu Lin. Hua Wu Ke wanted to find this man and get rid of him in advance.

But now he is not on this list.

Hua Wu Ke was not sure whether Mu Lin had followed his grandfather to the border or whether he had not yet joined the Hua Family Army, so he could only say euphemistically:

"I'm afraid that the Second Branch has inserted people into the army, which will be detrimental to father and his men. I want to see if there are any suspicious people."

Not far from the study is the martial arts training ground.

Hua Wu Ke grew up in an atmosphere of military generals, so naturally he also liked to practice martial arts.

There was only Hua Wu Ke in the martial arts field at home, it was too lonely.

So since she was a child, she liked to go to the suburbs to practice martial arts with Hua Da and others.

As soon as I entered the martial arts arena, I saw people practicing swordsmanship.

Most soldiers on the battlefield use spears, but these are the guards of the Hua family. When they are not on duty, they come here to practice sword skills.

Hua Wu Ke also likes to use the sword, although his skills are only mediocre.

But he hadn't been to the martial arts field for a long time, and seeing this scene he couldn't help but feel itchy, so he turned around and wanted Hua Liu to get the sword.

Ye Buhuo raised his hand to stop Hua Liu's steps: "Sui Sui's injuries have not healed yet, it is not appropriate for him to practice swordplay."

Seeing the long-missed martial arts arena and such a familiar atmosphere, Hua Wu Ke couldn't care less about his own injuries:

"I'm fine now!"

Ye Buhuo lowered his head and looked at the little scoundrel in front of him who was lying with open eyes:

"The imperial physician just changed your medicine this afternoon and told you to rest well. And you're already well in just one hour?"

"I'm not in pain anymore!"

"That's not OK."

Hua Wu Ke can be as willful as she wants on weekdays, but Ye Buhuo will not let her do whatever she wants when it comes to getting hurt.

Seeing Hua Wu Ke was unhappy, Ye Bu Huo gently coaxed her:

"When you are better, I will give you my sword to play with."

Hua Wu Ke widened his eyes and looked at him in surprise: "Really?"

Last year, Hua Wuke heard that Ye Buhuo had obtained a peerless sword, and he was extremely curious at that time.

But due to Ye Buhuo's "evil ambitions", she didn't want to have anything to do with him and could only suppress her curiosity.

Several times, Ye Buhuo waved the sword in front of her, and she almost couldn't hold back.

After coaxing the little girl, Ye Buhuo kidnapped her to the Xuantie Army’s base.
