Meilan's hand trembled as she served the food in front of her Master, Bai Yunyu. After the disastrous night with Emperor Xianliang storming off the Cold Palace, the Emperor severely punished Empress Xiuying, Bai Yunyu.
Emperor Xianliang rationed the food for Master Bai the next day, with Master Bai only getting a bowl of rice and a block of tofu as his lunch. At the same time, he was not served breakfast, and for his dinner… Emperor Xianliang only gave him a boiled fish and a glass of water.
There was no tonic, no soup, and the rice was probably yesterday's rice since it smelled a bit funny.
This was even worse than the food served for the prisoners!
Meilan's hand trembled even more when she put the food down. Meanwhile, Bai Yunyu only smiled and picked the chopstick. It had been the fifth days since he ate the same thing, a bowl of yesterday's rice and tofu.
