Chapter 512: Chapter 512 Spicy Hot Pot Update (5)_1

Cai Wei walked directly into Empress Mo’s sleeping chamber. The chamber was like a sea of flowers, vibrant and beautiful with dozens of pots of rare flowers arranged all around, each competing for attention as they bloomed in their full glory.

Behind the bed curtain, embroidered with a flock of birds turning to a phoenix, Empress Mo deeply slept on the sandalwood carved bed. In the dim light of the sheep horn lamp, her cold and beautiful cheeks unexpectedly revealed two rows of shallow tear tracks. It seemed as if she had just been crying.

This cold-hearted woman can cry?

Cai Wei sneered, feeling as if she had just seen crocodile tears. She turned around to rummage through the Empress’s dressing table.

"Yi’er..."

From the bed, there came a low murmur.

Cai Wei froze, stiffly turning around, her guarded eyes on the bed. But she saw that Empress Mo was still sleeping deeply, without any sign of waking up.

Ho, sleep talking, Cai Wei patted her chest, exhaling slowly.

"Run... run quickly..."

On the bed, Empress Mo murmured in her sleep, two lines of clear tears flowing from her eyes, crying like a child...

For a moment, Cai Wei’s heart was touched, watching the Empress on the bed expressing her true emotions, she didn’t know what to do.

She didn’t expect the Empress to have such a fragile side. Or rather, that’s her true nature, her coldness and ruthlessness were merely her guise, used to protect and wrap her fragile heart!

It had to be. Thinking back to when the Empress, in order to bring back Nangong Yi, did not hesitate to cut her wrist, pouring out a whole letter of blood with great care, a motherly heart, witnessed by Heaven and Earth.

Suddenly, Cai Wei no longer found the Empress so hateful. Although she schemed against herself, as a mother desperate for her son’s love, her actions can only be seen as a form of protection for her son.

She wasn’t able to help him in his grand scheme, and if he lost control of the throne, he would meet a disastrous end; therefore, Empress Mo had no choice but to reject her. She had to aggressively urge the marriage between her son and Li Ruizhu to protect him completely!

Thinking back to when she indulged Nangong Yi in his duel with Tianjizi, the Empress did not attempt to kill her. It was evident that the Empress’s heart was not as malicious as she displayed. It was just that the conflict between them was irreconcilable and continuing to escalate, making their relationship increasingly sharp!

Standing before the exquisite furniture, gorgeous fabrics, rare antiques, and expensive jewelry, Cai Wei suddenly lost her interest in plundering. She stealthily walked out of the Empress’s sleeping chamber, heading towards the Jade Palace.

"Master, you’re leaving so soon?"

Brother Ying, with a round belly, fluttered around Cai Wei’s head.

"Hmm..."

Cai Wei mumbled, "we should head back."

"What, aren’t we going to Zhao Yang Palace?"

Brother Ying protested, "there are many good things in Zhao Yang Palace!"

Cai Wei replied with a casual tone, "not going, we’ll talk about it later."

Chang Mei lamented mournfully, "Master, you promised to find us something delicious..."

Cai Wei rubbed its round monkey head, saying soothingly, "When we return, I will prepare a delicacy for you in the space, something you’ve never eaten before."

"That’s great! That’s great! Master, what delicious food are you going to prepare for us?"

Cai Wei pulled the corners of her mouth into a smile, letting out a chuckle as she uttered three words - hot, spicy soup!.

Chang Mei and Brother Ying didn’t know what ’spicy hot pot’ was, but they knew that whatever their master made, it was always unique and delicious.

As a result, upon hearing the term ’spicy hot pot’, they began to look forward to this unfamiliar dish.

Avoiding any notice, Cai Wei safely returned to Qingfang Garden. As soon as she returned to her western room, she immediately entered space and started preparing the spicy hot pot.

She always held a critical attitude towards this popular snack from the future world.

There was no doubt about the taste of the spicy hot pot, but she always had doubts about its hygiene.

Therefore, being an extreme neatnik who also loved to eat spicy hot pots, she started trying to make them herself. After countless attempts, she finally succeeded.

The bone soup, spicy hot pot she made, used pig’s stick bone rich soup. She added Chinese herbal spices like black cardamom, clove, amomum and more, along with ingredients like mushrooms and dried scallops. This high-grade, organic base turned the hot pot into a delicious piece of art with good taste, appealing color, and a strong, fragrant aroma. It tasted much better than those sold outside.

Since coming to this world, she hadn’t made it once. It was only just now, in her space, looking at those fresh and dripping vegetables that she suddenly had the idea of wanting to make a bowl of spicy hot pot.
