The pleasure of food

Esong looked pained when she stopped him, he was agonized as if stopping him from taking the mugs would kill him. She wrestled two of the mugs away from him. 

Unwilling to lose, Esong leaned over and whispered to her, "The emperor is here and he is claiming that is so hungry he is about to die and the third princess is about to collapse because of starvation." 

She sneered and looked at the man who was making such ridiculous allegations with a straight face. So what condition was the princess in before she re-introduced food to the Sun star? Why didn't she die of starvation back then? 

The viewers were very curious meanwhile about what Esong and Scarlet were whispering about. 

[What is he saying to her? Can anyone read lips?]

[Whatever he says, please chef say no. We are in this together, you said so yourself.]
