Chapter 113(1/2)
The envoy saw that Shen Tuchuan above seemed to be smiling, thinking that he was doubting his prescription, so he bent down and bowed: "Your Majesty, don't believe it. This prescription was obtained by His Highness the King of Chu. Now he has been taking the medicine himself for more than three months and has not seen any discomfort. Please accept it with a smile."
Ji Tingyan curled his lips and whispered beside Shentuchuan: "Your Majesty has insomnia, and his King of Chu happened to be sick? You knew it was fake at first, so your Majesty must not believe him." Just kidding, there is only one sleeping pill in this palace, and she must not let this prescription occupy her place.
Shentu Chuan looked at her leisurely: "The State of Chu is a small place, and has been dependent on our dynasty for more than a hundred years. He has never acted as an unjust minister. They can still trust their words."
"...Family and parents may harm you, not to mention that they are just vassal states. Your Majesty must not lose your vigilance. Is it a medicine that is three parts poisonous, or a little cute girl like me who is pollution-free and pollution-free, which is more suitable for caring for Your Majesty's body. What do you think?" Ji Ting looked flattering, no longer had the arrogance he had before.
Before, she was able to rely on Shen Tuchuan's inseparable from himself, so she dared to make various requests. Not long ago, she had to have only one of hers, but in less than three minutes she saw her own substitute. Her requirements were instantly low... Don't let alone a pair of people for a lifetime, it would be great if you could save your life.
Shen Tuchuan also knew what she was thinking, and when she looked at her cautious look, she couldn't help but feel very funny. This woman actually felt that she could be replaced by a prescription, and she was really confident.
He looked at the envoy below and subconsciously wanted to refuse the prescription to calm her down, but when this thought came out, he was stunned. Many of his diseases were caused by insomnia. If this prescription was effective, it would be equivalent to saving his life, but he subconsciously wanted to refuse because of Ji Ting's concern.
What is the difference between this and entrusting her life from now on?
Shen Tuchuan didn't expect that Ji Ting had such a big place in his heart, and his eyes were a little complicated for a moment. From childhood to adulthood, what he hated the most was being influenced by people or things around him, but now he kept silent, even though Ji Ting couldn't say it, he was even more at the point where she was trying to control her mind.
...This must not continue.
Shen Tuchuan's eyes gradually sink, and the tyrannical aura that had not been seen for a long time floated into his eyes. After pausing for a moment, he slowly said to the person below: "Since it is the King of Chu who is in his heart, then the lonely one stays."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." The envoy immediately asked someone to present the prescription.
Ji Ting glanced at Shen Tuchuan's quiet side face. For some reason, he felt a little panicked, but after thinking about it, even though he had a good relationship with Shen Tuchuan, he would not have turned against him immediately because of an extra prescription, right? Thinking of this, she felt relieved again, and the two brothers stucked his arm: "Congratulations to Your Majesty for being cured soon."
Shen Tuchuan was silent for a moment, looked at her calmly and pulled out the hand she held, and then continued to talk to the envoy as if nothing had happened.
Ji Ting: "..." She was ignored, right? Was he ignored her?! OK, before this prescription was confirmed or not, she started to ignore her?
Ji Ting was so angry that he snorted and ignored this man who had fallen in love with other people's prescriptions. When the envoy finished offering the gift, he was going back to Fengqi Palace. Before leaving, he saw that Shen Tuchuan was not going to move, so he asked, "I am not feeling well, so I have to take a step first. Can Your Majesty go back with me?"
Shen Tuchuan wanted to go with her, but when he thought that he was so clingy, it was a very abnormal thing, and he couldn't help but smell the face again: "I will stay for a while, and the queen will go back first."
Ji Ting looked at his side face and gradually frowned. Seeing that he had no intention of leaving with him, he left with an unhappy look. She turned around and looked at her, looking at her angry steps, subconsciously feeling guilty, but then she thought that she was the king of a country, so why should she be afraid of a woman who was about to be neglected by him?
Thinking of this, he forced himself to stop thinking about the way she was when she left, but her shocked look always appeared in his mind, which made him become more and more impatient with the banquet.
Ji Ting walked towards Fengqi Palace with a stern face. Before he could wait in front of the door, Cui'er hurriedly came up: "Empress, that little prince has not left the palace."
"Didn't you leave?" Ji Ting frowned and walked into the hall with her.
Cui'er nodded: "They live too far and didn't bring too many guards when they came to the palace. It's hard to take the little prince out, so they can only place it in the Palace 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 after another, and in the end they would lose it. So Ji Ting understood that they didn't come too many people.
"Live in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, live in the Hall of Supreme Harmony. When the little prince wakes up tomorrow, I will send them out of the palace directly, so there is no need to let them see Your Majesty again." The Hall of Supreme Harmony is very far away from here, and the little prince has medicine on her body, so she is not very worried.
Cui'er bent her knees and said yes. When she got up, she saw Ji Ting going to the bedroom. She hurriedly called her: "Empress, you haven't made your Majesty's longevity noodles yet."
Ji Ting paused for a moment, thinking that he suddenly became cold to himself after receiving the prescription. The anger he had accumulated just now suddenly burst out: "Don't do it anymore, let him take the prescription."
"What prescription?" Cui'er looked puzzled.
Ji Ting paused for a moment and walked towards the kitchen with an unhappy look: "It's nothing, go cook." Forget it, think carefully, he has endured the pain of insomnia for so long, and suddenly he has a cure prescription. But he always said something slandered just now, and he must be unhappy.
It was her that she was wrong and dared to joke about anything. It was normal for him to lose his temper. Since he was wrong, he naturally had to admit his mistake and make more food later to please him. After all, she is not the only baby of the tyrant now, so she can't be as confident as before. She still has to please him as much as possible.
Not only did she want to make him longevity noodles, but she also wanted to make a bowl of the best longevity noodles, telling him about his irreplaceability with actions, so as not to forget the old ones if he had new medicines. Ji Ting started making noodles for the first time with ambitions.
...And then spent an afternoon making a large bowl of wide noodles.
"Empress, why is this... different from the longevity noodles I see on weekdays?" Cui'er asked a difficult question.
Ji Ting was silent for a moment, looking at the noodles as wide as an adult's thumb, and he said seriously: "This is what I do at my mother's house. The longevity noodles on weekdays are only length but not width, but the bowl of this palace has both length and width, which represents the meaning of life."
"Then what is the meaning of this life?" Cui'er was still puzzled.
Ji Ting glanced at her: "Of course I have to live long and interestingly."
...Then Your Majesty is not a person who lives an interesting life. Cui'er only dared to say something in her heart, but flattered her face: "The Empress is right, this side is really full of meaning."
Ji Ting snorted lightly, his eyes fell on the bowl and quickly turned off. He really couldn't bear to look at the bowl of noodles. Noodles were actually nothing difficult, but the difficulty was that a noodles had to be completely kept. She had failed several times before, either broke when cut, or cooked in the pot and broke again. In the end, she had no choice but to make them into wide noodles, so that they could barely become a complete one.
"That's it, it should be delicious." I wonder if it was self-comfort, Ji Ting muttered in a low voice.
Cui'er was amused when she heard her words: "My lady, don't worry, even if you make burnt and batter, Your Majesty will think it tastes delicious. Who told Your Majesty to spoil the Majesty? You are willing to eat what the Majesty cooks."
"Good and smooth-mouthed." Ji Ting looked at her angrily, and her expression improved a lot. Yet, her cooking skills have never been good, but Shen Tuchuan is very supportive every time. Even when he is angry with him, she has never left the food, so she doesn't have to worry too much.
Thinking of this, Ji Ting happily asked Cui'er to invite someone, and she sat at the table and waited. Shortly after Cui'er left, she came back soon. The smile on her face when she went out was gone. After seeing Ji Ting, she saluted with a nervous look on her face.
Ji Ting paused and looked at her empty behind: "Where is Your Majesty?"
"Your Majesty said he was tired and stayed in the Dragon Seal Palace to rest, and told the Empress not to be busy anymore. He is not here today." Cui'er spoke carefully.
Ji Ting was silent for a long time before calmly lowering his eyes: "Your Majesty wants to rest, why didn't he summon me?"
"... Maybe I just want to close my eyes and rest." Cui'er said carefully, but in fact she didn't believe this.
After she went out for a while, she had heard many people discussing it. They all said that His Majesty had a good prescription for treating insomnia, and she might be able to sleep without the help of the Queen's comfort in the future. She might lose favor. At first, she was very disdainful and felt that His Majesty was not just because the Queen helped her sleep. But who knew that when she arrived at His Majesty, His Majesty refused to see her, so she sent her directly.
She was served by the Empress. When the Empress asked her to invite His Majesty, she had never been rejected, but she was rejected after His Majesty got the best prescription today. She had to think about it.
Ji Ting looked at Cui'er with a worried look on her face, and sneered for a while, pushing the already lumped longevity noodles aside: "Since Your Majesty doesn't want to eat it, then pour it."
"Empress..."
"It's over. I don't want to see noodles again for three days." Ji Ting closed his eyes a little annoyed.
Cui'er looked at her with a silence, and while taking the bowl, she comforted her softly: "My lady, don't worry, Your Majesty's love for you is obvious to all. You will never neglect you just because of a prescription..."
"Do you think it's a problem with the prescription?" Ji Ting suddenly opened his eyes.
Cui'er was so scared that she didn't dare to speak.
Ji Ting narrowed his eyes and smiled sarcastically for a while: "I haven't confirmed whether the prescription is useful or not. Is it safe? He can't wait to abandon me. It can be seen that he has been impatient for a long time, but because I still have the help, I can only save my life. Now, he finally no longer has to be afraid. I guess he is celebrating in his bedroom now?"
Cui'er was so scared that she knelt down hurriedly: "Empress, be careful of your words. There are ears, eyes, mouths and mouths everywhere in the palace. Empress, please don't say these disrespectful words again."
She used to say this often, but Cui'er never advised her, which shows that now is really different from the past. Although Ji Ting knew that the tyrant was ruthless, he still felt cold.
The air in the room seemed to solidify. After a long time, Ji Ting sighed exhausted: "I understand, you go down."
"Yes." Cui'er looked at her worriedly and left with a look and three steps.
As soon as Cui'er left, Ji Ting's shoulders collapsed and he lay on the table with a depressed look on his face. The room was filled with the smell of sesame oil in the longevity noodles, as if nothing had changed, but it seemed that everything had changed again.
Until the evening, Shen Tuchuan did not come, and Ji Ting simply didn't wait. He lay down on the bed with a sad face. After the original anger was burning, there was only a piece of emotional ashes. She lay lazily, waiting for her to be energetic tomorrow, and then she swept away the ashes.
Isn’t the tyrant ruthless? Then she is even more ruthless than him. Let’s see who is colder than who!
Ji Ting made up his mind and closed his eyes and wanted to sleep. Although he was in a bad mood, his sleep quality was still very good. When Cui'er came in and planned to call her for dinner, she was already asleep.
Cui'er stood by the bed and hesitated for a while. Thinking that the Queen was in such a bad mood, she probably had no appetite when she woke up. In the end, she did not wake her up, but turned around and went out.
After she went out, she sighed sadly at the table of food. After thinking about it for a long time, she went to ask Eunuch Li for the situation. The relationship between Your Majesty and the Queen does not seem to be fake. How could she just treat the Queen as a prescription for treatment? So there must be other problems.
Thinking of this, she soon arrived in front of the Longxi Palace. When she saw Eunuch Li sitting at the door, she hurriedly walked forward. Eunuch Li saw her and stood up: "Why are you here? But what's wrong with the Queen?"
"I came here by myself," Cui'er lowered her voice, "Have you rested?"
"I went to the Imperial Hospital to study the prescription today, and I asked someone to try the medicine myself. I confirmed that there was no problem. Now that the medicine is still being decocted, it's time to rest after drinking it. What are you doing here if you have nothing to do?" Eunuch Li frowned.
Cui'er sighed: "Has my father-in-law heard of the rumors in the palace?"
"I have heard of it. Those are nonsense. Go back and ask the Queen to relax and don't be bothered by these things." Eunuch Li whispered.
Cui'er pursed her lips: "The Empress doesn't know these rumors yet, but she's still a little unhappy. After all, His Majesty would pass every night before, but suddenly she didn't go tonight. I think she couldn't help but think about it. Do you know why His Majesty suddenly didn't pass today?"
"If Your Majesty is cured, I'm afraid that the time you can't get over is still there. The Empress must figure it out as soon as possible." Eunuch Li sighed. He followed His Majesty to serve him, and he knew that His Majesty would stay with the Empress for the Queen's place because of insomnia. If the disease can be cured now, I'm afraid that even if I will often go to the Empress's palace in the future, but it will never pass every day like before.
Cui'er was quite helpless: "It would be great if I could figure it out. Daddy, you don't know. The Empress worked hard to make longevity noodles for the whole afternoon and waited for His Majesty to come over happily. But His Majesty suddenly stopped going. She was so sad that she didn't even eat food at night, which made me worried."
"She didn't eat?"
A low voice suddenly sounded, and Eunuch Li and Cui'er were excited at the same time, and hurriedly knelt down and saluted. After kowtowed, Eunuch Li looked at Shen Tu Chuan who suddenly appeared at the door with an anxious look: "Your Majesty, it's cold and cold, why are you coming out?"
"The queen didn't use dinner?" Shen Tu Chuan looked at Cui'er with a cold face.
Cui'er shook for a moment and plucked up the courage to speak: "Reply to Your Majesty's words, the Empress has been making longevity noodles for Your Majesty this afternoon. If Your Majesty did not go there, the Empress was a little sad. She went to bed early tonight and did not have dinner."
"Nostalgia! Why don't you wake her up for dinner?" Shen Tuchuan's eyes were full of anger.
Cui'er was stunned and kowtowed in fear: "The Empress is in a bad mood and has no appetite even when she wakes up. I dare not call her anymore. It's all my fault. I deserve to die..."
Shen Tuchuan snorted coldly and went straight to Fengqi Palace. Eunuch Li glanced at his hurriedly leaving back and hurriedly pulled Cui'er: "What else can you knock on? Come and see the Empress quickly with Your Majesty."
"...Yes." Cui'er hurriedly got up and followed Shentuchuan to Fengqi Palace with him. After a while, she got there.
Shen Tuchuan went straight into the house, and Cui'er and Eunuch Li stopped outside tacitly and did not go in together.
The ground dragon burned in the room, and Shen Tuchuan's hands and feet, which were a little cold all the way outside, suddenly became warm. He looked at Ji Ting, who was sleeping with a candle in the room, and finally calmed down when he looked at her frowning brow.
He shouldn't have come. This woman has had a great influence on him. If this continues, it will bring him danger one day. Now that there is a prescription for treating insomnia, it is time to eliminate her influence on him. He shouldn't have just run over because she didn't have any meals at night.
Shen Tuchuan pursed his lips and walked out for a while. Eunuch Li was surprised to see him come out so quickly, but after seeing his face, he immediately didn't dare to ask anything, and just followed him with his head down.
Shentu Chuan glanced at Cui'er standing next to him, and his voice was even colder than in the winter of the 39th century: "You don't need to tell the queen what I've been here today. Also, the queen's three meals a day are indispensable in the future, otherwise the entire Fengqi Palace would have to pay for his life."
"Yes." Cui'er hurriedly knelt down.
Shen Tuchuan glanced at the door behind him again, left with a cold face. When he returned to the Dragon Seal Palace, the medicine had been boiled. He looked at the soup on the table and had a trace of disgust in his eyes, but he still drank all the drinks, and after drinking, he went to bed and lay down.
Unfortunately, I had drunk it, but I was not sleepy for a long time, and my mind was filled with what Cui'er said just now. When I thought that Ji Ting had spent an afternoon making a bowl of noodles, he felt stupid and could not help but feel a little pity, but every time he felt a little pity, he forced it to death.
To be continued...
