Hua Qingqing went back to her room and closed the door.
When it was time for lunch, the old lady sent someone to invite her out for dinner, but she refused on the pretext of being unwell.
At the dinner table, Hua Dingzong's face was radiant, and he kept toasting to King Zhao with a smile on his face.
Li Ji was in a bad mood and reacted lightly.
Because of her guilty conscience, Hua Manman didn't speak much during the whole process. Even if Hua Dingzong repeatedly hinted with her eyes to help her to say a few words to cheer up the atmosphere, she pretended not to see it and just focused on eating.
The lunch ended without embarrassment.
Hua Manman and Li Ji returned to the palace in a carriage.
The two didn't communicate at all.
After returning to the palace, Li Ji immediately went to Shanhaiju where he lived.
He didn't show up until night.
So Hua Manman slept alone tonight.
She finally no longer needs to sleep on the bamboo couch, but can sleep on a spacious and comfortable bed, and she is naturally very happy about it.
But the maids serving her were worried.
Siyun asked cautiously.
"Why didn't the prince come here tonight? Could it be that something has caught the prince? Would you like to send someone to find out?"
Hua Manman said that there is absolutely no need for this.
That's great!
Each lives in its own way without interfering with each other.
Perfect!
She comforted Siyun a few words, and then sent everyone out.
When Hua Manman was the only one left in the room, she took out the lucky bag rewarded by the system.
When I opened it, I found a small white porcelain jar inside.
Hua Manman asked the system.
"What's this?"
System: "This is Duanyu Ointment. Apply it to the affected area. After a course of treatment, it will regenerate the muscles and bones."
Hua Manman was pleasantly surprised: "This is a good thing!"
Such a good thing, but money can't buy it.
She could split it into a dozen and sell it, sure to make a fortune.
The system reminded: "A box of Duanyu Ointment is just a course of treatment."
Hua Manman reacted immediately.
In other words, this box of broken jade ointment is a one-time use, it can only cure one person, and it will be gone when it is used up.
Most of the surprise was gone immediately.
Sure enough, the system will not give her a chance to exploit loopholes.
She wants to take advantage of the system, which is completely whimsical.
Hua Manman remembered the snow jade cream that the system rewarded before.
The box of Xueyu cream was very small, and when all the marks on her face disappeared, the Xueyu cream would be used up.
The portion was just enough for her alone.
It seems that it is impossible to get rich by relying on system rewards.
Hua Manman locked the broken jade paste in a drawer, then climbed onto the bed, wrapped in a soft quilt, and fell asleep comfortably.
She fell asleep, but Li Ji who lived in Shanhaiju was still awake.
He suffered from insomnia again tonight.
It stands to reason that he should have gotten used to this insomnia state long ago.
But for some reason, he felt particularly depressed tonight.
It seems that there is something missing around me
What is missing
Li Ji thought for a long time, and then he remembered that Hua Manman's steady breathing sound was missing when he was sleeping.
The woman's sleep quality has always been very good. During the three nights I stayed with her, every night she fell asleep as soon as she touched the pillow.
When she fell asleep, she breathed very lightly.
The voice was gentle and long, which made Li Ji relax unconsciously.
But now, that voice is gone.
At this moment Li Ji felt that this familiar room was too quiet.
This kind of tranquility reminded him of the bloody battle five years ago.
At that time, he was crushed under countless corpses, and there was a strong smell of blood in his nose and mouth.
The surroundings were silent, deathly silent.
