The envoy saw that Shen Tuchuan was smiling, thinking that he was doubting his prescription, so he hurriedly bowed down and saluted: "Your Majesty, don't believe me, this prescription was obtained by chance by His Highness the King of Chu, and he has been using it himself for more than three months now, and has not experienced any discomfort. Please accept it with a smile, Your Majesty."
Ji heard the words curled his lips, and whispered next to Shen Tuchuan: "Your Majesty suffers from insomnia, and his King Chu also happened to be ill? You can tell it's a lie when you hear it. Don't believe him, Your Majesty." Just kidding, There can only be one sleeping pill in this palace, and she must not let this prescription take her place.
Shen Tuchuan glanced at her leisurely: "Chu is a small place, and it has been attached to our court for more than a hundred years, and has never committed any act of disobedience. Their words are still trustworthy."
"...Your family and parents may harm you, not to mention that it is only a dependent country. Your Majesty must not lose your vigilance. Is it the medicine that is three-point poisonous, or the concubine, a pollution-free and pollution-free little cutie, who is more suitable for taking care of your majesty? Body, what do you think?" Ji Ting looked flattering, without the previous arrogance.
In the past, Shen Tuchuan could not leave her, so she dared to make various demands. Not long ago, he could only have her alone. As a result, she saw her substitute in less than three minutes, and her demands instantly dropped... Don't It's not bad if you can save your life as a couple for life.
Shen Tuchuan also knew what she was thinking, and looking at her cautious look, he couldn't help being very funny. This woman actually felt that if she could be replaced by a prescription, she really didn't have the slightest confidence.
He looked down at the envoy, and subconsciously wanted to refuse the prescription to make her feel at ease, but when this idea came up, he was suddenly stunned. Many of his illnesses were caused by insomnia, if this prescription was effective, it would save his life, but he subconsciously wanted to refuse because of Ji Ting's worry.
How is this different from cutting off the way out and entrusting her life to her from now on
Shen Tuchuan didn't expect Ji Ting to occupy such a big place in his heart, and his eyes were complicated for a while. Ever since he was a child, what he hated the most was being influenced by other people or things, but now, even if Ji didn't listen to it, he was almost to the point of being influenced by her.
... Absolutely can't go on like this.
Shen Tuchuan's eyes gradually sank, and the tyranny that he hadn't seen for a long time came to his eyes. After he paused for a moment, he slowly said to the people below: "Since it is the King of Chu's heart, I will stay alone."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." The envoy immediately asked for the prescription to be presented.
Ji Ting glanced at Shen Tuchuan's quiet side face, feeling flustered for some reason, but after thinking about it for a while, it was a joke, she and Shen Tuchuan had such a good relationship, he wouldn't immediately turn against him just because he had an extra prescription, would he? Thinking of this, she felt relieved again, and the two brothers clubbed his arm: "Congratulations, Your Majesty is about to recover."
Shen Tuchuan was silent for a moment, looked at her calmly and pulled out the hand she was holding, then continued talking to the envoy as if nothing had happened.
Ji Ting: "..." She was ignored, right? Was it ignored by him? ! Well, this prescription is not sure if it works, but you start ignoring her
Ji Ting snorted angrily, and ignored this man who was empathetic and never fell in love with the prescription. He was going back to Fengqi Palace after the envoy finished presenting the gift. Before he left, he saw that Shen Tuchuan didn't intend to move, so he didn't want to ask. One sentence: "The concubine is not feeling well, so I have to take a step first, can your majesty go back with the concubine?"
Shen Tuchuan really wanted to go with her, but when he thought that it was a very abnormal thing for him to be so clingy, he couldn't help but stinky face again: "Stay alone for a while, the queen will go back first."
Ji Ting looked at his side face and gradually frowned, seeing that he didn't intend to go with her, he left with an unhappy face. As soon as she turned around, Shen Tuchuan looked at her. Looking at her angry steps, she subconsciously felt guilty, but then she thought that she was the king of a country, why should she be afraid of a woman who was about to be neglected by him
Thinking of this, he forced himself not to think about her appearance when she left, but her slightly shocked expression just now always appeared in his mind, which made him even more impatient with this banquet.
Ji Ting walked towards Fengqi Palace with a serious face, and before he reached the door, Cui'er hurriedly greeted him: "Ma'am, that little prince has not left the palace yet."
"Did you not leave?" Ji Ting frowned and walked into the hall with her.
Tweety nodded: "They lived too far away, and they didn't bring too many guards with them when they came to the palace. It's not easy to take the little prince out, so they can only be placed in the Hall of Supreme Harmony first."
These people came with the determination to die, so naturally they didn't bring too many elites, otherwise they would lose one by one, and it would be their loss in the end, so Ji Ting understood that not too many people came.
"If you live in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, let's live in the Hall of Supreme Harmony. When the little prince wakes up tomorrow, just send them out of the palace. There is no need for them to see His Majesty." The Hall of Supreme Harmony is very far away from here, and the little prince She still had medicine on her body, so she wasn't too worried.
Cui'er bowed her knees and said yes, and when she got up, she saw Ji Ting was going to the bedroom, and hurriedly called her: "Your Majesty, you haven't made your Majesty's longevity noodles yet."
Ji Ting paused for a moment, thinking that after he accepted the prescription, he suddenly turned cold towards him, and the anger accumulated from just now suddenly exploded: "Don't do it, let him take the prescription."
"What prescription?" Tweety looked puzzled.
Ji Ting paused, and walked towards the small kitchen with an unhappy expression: "It's nothing, let's cook." Forget it, after thinking about it carefully, he has suffered from insomnia for so long, and suddenly he has a cure. But he always said some slanderous words, he should be unhappy.
It's her fault, she dares to joke about everything, it's normal for him to lose his temper, since he was wrong, then naturally he has to admit his mistake, let's make more food later to please him. After all, she is not the only baby of the tyrant now, so naturally she can't be as confident as before, she still has to please him as much as possible.
She not only wants to make longevity noodles for him, but also cooks the best bowl of longevity noodles, and tells him her irreplaceability with actions, so that he will not forget the old medicine when he has new medicine. With great ambition, Ji Ting started making noodles for the first time.
... and then spent an afternoon making a big bowl of lasagna.
"Your Majesty, this...why is it different from the Longevity Noodles I usually see?" Tweety asked with difficulty.
Ji Ting was silent for a moment, looked at the noodles as wide as an adult's thumb, and said nonsense in a serious manner: "This is what I did at my mother's house. The longevity noodles on weekdays are only long but not wide, but this bowl of Bengong is as long as it is wide." All of them represent the meaning of life.”
"Then what is the meaning of this life?" Tweety was still puzzled.
Ji Ting glanced at her sideways: "Of course it's about living a long and interesting life."
... Then His Majesty is not a person who lives an interesting life. Cui'er only dared to say something in her heart, but she flattered her face: "Your Majesty is right, this is really full of meaning."
Ji Ting snorted softly, and quickly turned away after his eyes fell on the bowl, he really couldn't bear to look directly at this bowl of noodles. The noodles are actually not difficult, but the difficult thing is that a piece of noodles should be completely unbroken. She failed to make it several times before. Either it broke when cutting it, or it broke when it was boiled. In this way, it can be regarded as barely complete.
"That's it, it should be delicious." Ji Ting muttered softly, not knowing if it was self-consolation.
Cui'er was delighted when she heard her words: "Don't worry, ma'am, even if you are burnt and mushy, your majesty will still find it delicious. Whoever tells your majesty to dote on your majesty is willing to eat what your majesty makes."
"Slick tongue." Ji Ting gave her a reproachful look, but his complexion improved a lot. That's right, she has never been a good cook, but Shen Tuchuan always cheered her on. Even when she was angry with him, she never left her food, so she didn't have to worry too much.
Thinking of this, Ji Ting happily asked Cui'er to invite someone, while she sat at the table and waited. Not long after Tweety went out, she came back soon, the smile on her face when she went out was gone, and she saluted anxiously after seeing Ji Ting.
Ji Ting paused for a moment, then glanced at her empty back: "Where's Your Majesty?"
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty said that he was tired and stayed in the Dragon Seal Hall to rest. He told the empress not to be busy anymore. He won't be here today." Tweety said cautiously.
Ji Ting was silent for a long time before lowering his eyes calmly: "Your Majesty wants to rest, why didn't you summon me?"
"...Maybe I just want to close my eyes and rest my mind." Tweety opened her mouth after deliberation, but she didn't even believe it herself.
She had only been out for a while, and she had already heard many people discussing that His Majesty had obtained a cure for insomnia, and she might be able to sleep without the empress' consolation in the future, and she might fall out of favor. She was very disdainful at first, thinking that His Majesty's doting on the Empress was definitely not just because of her helping her to sleep, but who knew that when she arrived at His Majesty's place, His Majesty refused to even see her and sent her away directly.
She was served by the empress's side. When the empress asked her to invite His Majesty, she had never been rejected, but she was rejected after His Majesty got a good prescription today. She had to think about it.
Ji Ting looked at the worried Tweety, sneered for a while, and pushed aside the lumpy longevity noodles: "Since Your Majesty doesn't want to eat it, then pour it out."
"Ma'am..."
"Come on, I don't want to see noodles again in three days." Ji Ting closed his eyes a little annoyed.
Tweety glanced at her hesitantly, and comforted her in a low voice while serving the bowl: "Your Majesty, don't worry, Your Majesty's love for you is obvious to all, and you will never be neglected just because of a prescription..."
"You also think it's a problem with the prescription?" Ji Ting suddenly opened his eyes.
Tweety was suddenly too frightened to speak.
Ji Ting narrowed his eyes, and smiled mockingly for a long time: "The prescription has not yet been confirmed whether it will work or not, and whether it is safe or not, so he can't wait to abandon me. It can be seen that he has been impatient with me for a long time, but it is still useful because of me. I can only save my life, and now it’s all right, he finally doesn’t have to be timid anymore, I guess he’s celebrating in his bedroom right now?”
Cui'er was so frightened that she hurriedly knelt down: "Your Majesty, be careful what you say. There are ears, eyes and mouthpieces everywhere in the palace. Your Majesty, please don't say such disrespectful words again."
She used to say this kind of thing often, but Tweety never persuaded her, so it can be seen that things are really different now. Although Ji Ting knew that the tyrant was ruthless, he still felt cold.
The air in the room seemed to freeze. After a long time, Ji Ting sighed tiredly: "I know, you can go down."
"Yes." Tweety looked at her worriedly, and walked away step by step.
As soon as Cui'er left, Ji Ting's shoulders collapsed, and she lay down on the table with a depressed expression. The room still smelled of sesame oil from longevity noodles, as if nothing had changed, but everything seemed to have changed.
Until the evening, Shen Tuchuan didn't come over, Ji Ting didn't wait any longer, and lay down on the bed with a sad face. After the original anger was burnt out, only a piece of emotional ashes remained. She lay lazily, Just wait until tomorrow when you have the energy to sweep away these ashes.
Isn't the tyrant ruthless, then she is more ruthless than him, let's see who is colder than the other!
Ji Ting made up his mind to close his eyes and go to sleep. Although he was in a bad mood, the quality of sleep was still good. When Tweety came in and planned to call her for dinner, she had already fallen into a deep sleep.
Tweety stood by the bed and hesitated, thinking that the empress was in such a bad mood, she probably wouldn't have much appetite when she woke up, so she turned around and went out instead of waking her up.
After she went out, she looked at the food on the table and sighed sadly. After thinking about it for a long time, she ran to Eunuch Li to inquire about the situation. The relationship between His Majesty and the Queen's Empress does not seem to be fake. How could it be possible that the Empress is purely treated as a cure, so there must be other problems.
Thinking of this, she quickly arrived in front of the Dragon Seal Hall, and hurried forward when she saw Eunuch Li who was dozing at the door, and Eunuch Li also stood up when he saw her: "Why are you here? What's going on?"
"Your Majesty came here by herself," Tweety lowered her voice, "Did Your Majesty rest?"
"Today I went to the Imperial Hospital to study the prescription, and I also had someone test the medicine myself. It is confirmed that there is nothing wrong with it. Now Your Majesty's medicine is still decocting. After a while, you should rest. What are you doing here if you have nothing to do?" ?” Eunuch Li frowned.
Cui'er sighed: "Have you heard of the rumors in the palace?"
"I've heard it before, those are all nonsense, you go back and tell the empress to relax, don't be bothered by these things." Eunuch Li said in a low voice.
Cui'er pursed her lips: "Your Majesty doesn't know about these rumors yet, but she's still a little unhappy. After all, His Majesty used to go there every night, but suddenly didn't go tonight. She can't help but think wildly. Do you know why His Majesty suddenly didn’t pass by today?”
"If your Majesty recovers from his illness, I'm afraid the time will not pass. Your Majesty should figure it out as soon as possible." Eunuch Li sighed. He served by His Majesty's side, and he knew best that His Majesty stayed with the Empress Empress because of insomnia. If the illness can be cured now, I am afraid that even in the future, he will often go to the Empress's Palace, but it will never be the same as before. The days are passing.
Cui'er was quite helpless: "It would be great if your majesty could figure it out, father-in-law, you don't know, your majesty worked so hard to make longevity noodles all afternoon, and waited happily for His Majesty to pass, but suddenly His Majesty didn't go, she was sad I didn't even eat at night, but I worried the slaves to the core."
"She didn't eat?"
A deep voice suddenly sounded, Eunuch Li and Cui'er were shocked at the same time, and hurriedly knelt down to salute. After kowtowing, Eunuch Li looked anxiously at Shen Tuchuan who suddenly appeared at the door: "Your Majesty, it's freezing cold, why did you come out?"
"The queen didn't have dinner?" Shen Tuchuan looked at Cui'er coldly.
Tweety trembled, and summoned up the courage to speak: "Returning to Your Majesty, Your Majesty has been making Longevity Noodles for His Majesty this afternoon. Your Majesty did not come, so Your Majesty was a little sad. She went to bed early tonight and did not have dinner. "
"Nonsense! Why didn't you wake her up to eat?" Shen Tuchuan's eyes were full of anger.
Cui'er was stunned, and kowtowed in fright: "Your Majesty is in a bad mood, even if you wake up, you don't have an appetite, so this slave doesn't dare to call her, it's all the slave's fault, the slave deserves death..."
Shen Tuchuan snorted coldly, and went directly to Fengqi Palace. Eunuch Li glanced at the back of him leaving in a hurry, and hurriedly gave Tweet a hand: "What are you still talking about, hurry up and go with your majesty to see your empress."
"...Yes." Cui'er hurriedly got up, and followed Shen Tuchuan to Fengqi Palace with him, and arrived there not long after.
Shen Tuchuan went straight into the house, and Tweety and Eunuch Li stopped outside tacitly and did not go in together.
The earth dragon was burning in the house, and Shen Tuchuan's hands and feet felt cold after walking all the way outside, and suddenly warmed up. He looked at the sleeping Ji Ting through a candle in the room, and finally calmed down after seeing her frowning down.
He shouldn't have come, this woman has too much influence on him, if this continues, it will bring him danger one day, and now that there is a cure for insomnia, it is time to get rid of her influence on him, he will not It should be because she didn't eat at night, so she ran over.
Shen Tuchuan pursed his lips, and walked out again after a while. Eunuch Li was surprised when he saw him come out so quickly, but he didn't dare to ask anything after seeing his face, and just followed him with his head down.
Shen Tuchuan glanced at Cui'er who was standing beside him, his voice was colder than that in the March 9th winter: "You don't need to tell the queen about your lonely visit today, and in the future, the queen's three meals a day are indispensable, otherwise the whole Fengqi Palace will pay for their crimes with their lives."
"Yes." Tweety hurriedly knelt down.
Shen Tuchuan glanced at the door behind him again, and left with a cold face. When he returned to the Dragon Seal Palace, the medicine had already been decocted. A trace of disgust flashed in his eyes when he saw the soup on the table, but he drank it all. After drinking, he went to bed lying down.
It's a pity that he drank it, but he didn't feel sleepy for a long time. His mind was full of what Tweety said just now. When he thought that Ji Ting spent an afternoon making a bowl of noodles, he felt stupid and at the same time endured it. I couldn't help feeling a little bit of pity, but every time I felt a little bit of pity, he forcibly strangled it.
After tossing and turning on the bed for an hour, he didn't feel sleepy. He sat up sullenly, and cursed after a long while: "What kind of bullshit prescription! It's useless at all!"
Although he scolded, there was no annoyance on his face, and he seemed much more relaxed. Since the prescription was useless, he had no choice but to call Ji Ting over, otherwise what would he do if his body just got better and he suffered from it? Thinking of this, Shen Tuchuan lifted the quilt and planned to get out of bed, but before he put on his shoes, he yawned.
After a yawn, sleepiness hit him. Shen Tuchuan's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and he lay down again with gritted teeth.
The night passed in the blink of an eye.
Ji Ting went to bed too early, and woke up just after dawn. When she opened her eyes, she subconsciously rolled over to hug her, but she only found a pile of quilts. She slowly opened her eyes, remembered what happened yesterday, and hummed lightly. I started to feel bad.
"Your Majesty, you're awake. The small kitchen has made excellent soup for you today. Get up and try it." Tweety came over to help her.
Ji Ting pressed her drowsy head and followed her to get up: "My head hurts a little, let's go to the Imperial Garden after dinner."
"Yes." Seeing that she was in the mood to visit the Royal Garden, Tweety knew that she had almost adjusted, and immediately agreed with surprise.
Ji Ting gave her a funny look, then thought of Shen Tuchuan and couldn't laugh again. Everyone in this palace treats her well, but that dog tyrant treats her badly, so she shouldn't treat him well in the future, just focus on the task.
Ji Ting finished his breakfast with the determination to never play with him again, then put on layers of thick clothes and a heavy cloak and went to the Imperial Garden. As soon as he arrived in the garden, he saw Shen Tuchuan, who was facing a man with his back facing him. When her person spoke, Shen Tuchuan also saw her for the first time, but he just glanced at her and then stopped looking at her.
"It's really bad luck..." Ji Ting muttered unhappily, and was about to turn around and leave, but just as he was about to move, he suddenly felt something was wrong—
The person who turned his back to her just now doesn't seem to be wearing Han Chinese clothes, right
Ji Ting's heart skipped a beat, and she hurriedly looked over again. Before she could recognize the man's clothes, Tweet who was next to her exclaimed: "It's that little prince, ma'am, why hasn't he left yet?"
Ji Ting's guess was confirmed, and his heart shrank suddenly. When he looked at the man again, he saw that his right arm seemed abnormally stiff, as if something was hidden inside.
She walked forward without even thinking about it. Seeing her hesitating for a long time and then walking towards him, Shen Tuchuan felt uncontrollably filled with joy, but at the same time his face became serious: "What are you doing here? Didn't you see the lonely girl?" Are you talking to someone?"
Ji Ting stepped forward with a sullen face, when the little prince's arm suddenly moved, she was shocked and reminded in a low voice: "Your Majesty, be careful!"
At the same time as her words fell, the dagger in the little prince's sleeve flashed out, roaring and stabbing at Shen Tuchuan, Shen Tuchuan subconsciously backed away, although he was fairly agile, it was already too late.
Seeing the dagger stabbing towards him, at the very moment, a force pushed him away, and the next second he saw that Ji Ting appeared in the position where he should be—
"Ji listen!"
He heard his own voice, and then everything in front of him seemed to be slowed down. The dagger pierced through her cloak and stabbed on her shoulder. She was obviously injured, but she seemed to be relieved, as if for I am happy to help him block the attack.
Shen Tuchuan's mind went blank, and he rushed over to hug her without thinking. The little prince beside him had already been chopped off by the guards, and a lot of blood flowed out, unknowingly soaking Ji Ting's dress.
"Gu, Gu is just a fool, Ji Ting, don't die... don't..." Shen Tuchuan's eyes were red, and the hands holding her were shaking uncomfortably.
Ji Ting, who was dressed too thickly, and the dagger went through the cloak but not her thick coat, thick waistcoat, and thick scarf, looked at the tyrant who was about to cry and blinked, and then looked 'painful' He said, "It's fine if your majesty has nothing to do, and my concubine is willing to die for your majesty..."
The author has something to say: Chuan'er: Concubine Ai, I'm so stupid to snub you out of a moment of panic
Ji Ting: Will you dare in the future
Chuaner: Never again
