I became the tyrant's only belief.

Chapter 85 Hold on to the golden thigh

Seeing that the time was almost up, Moxiang went to the imperial kitchen to get chicken soup.

Chu Liuzheng thought that the "cup" that Moxiang was talking about was the small cup used to stew bird's nest. She thought that it would be gone after a few sips, so at most she could just taste it.

When Moxiang came back with a big food box, she realized it was a casserole pot enough for two or three people, with half an old hen stewed in it.

[Tyrants are arrogant. If I were to take the money to the imperial kitchen to buy this, just this half old hen and these nourishing herbs, including the favors, it would cost at least three or four taels of silver.]

Chu Liuzheng was secretly shocked. This pot cost her almost half a month's salary.

Fortunately, she didn't have to pay.

made money!

She said to Moxiang, "Sister, eat some to warm yourself up. I can't eat so much by myself."

How could Moxiang compete for food with an injured person like her?

She poured the rich and fragrant chicken soup into a small bowl and said with a smile, "If you can't finish it, save it for dinner. It won't go bad in the cold weather."

Chu Liuzheng persuaded her several times, but Moxiang only drank a small bowl of chicken soup and did not touch a single piece of meat.

Chu Liuzheng had no choice but to give up, since there would be opportunities in the future anyway.

Moxiang held the bowl and fed her.

The chicken soup is fragrant, moderately salty, and mixed with a hint of medicinal aroma, which inexplicably whets one's appetite.

The chicken was stewed until it fell off the bones. I don’t know how it was processed, but it tasted very tender and not dry at all.

Chu Liuzheng squinted his eyes as he ate.

Is there anything happier than drinking a bowl of warm and fragrant chicken soup on a snowy winter day?
"It smells so good." A palace maid smelled the aroma of chicken soup and peeked in through the window, "What did the sisters eat that smells so good?"

Chu Liuzheng recognized her; she was Dong Wu, one of the palace maids in charge of cleaning the Wenhua Palace.

We don't interact much normally.

She said, "It's just a bowl of chicken soup, but you're already greedy. If I had known, I would have left you a bowl."

This was a bit impolite, and Moxiang looked at Chu Liuzheng in surprise.

Liu Zheng is not usually like this. Could it be that Dong Wu has offended her?

Dong Wu didn't expect Chu Liuzheng to be so disrespectful to her. Her smile froze and she left, making an excuse that she had something to do.

Chu Liuzheng curled his lips.

Moxiang fed her a small piece of chicken and asked with a smile, "You are always good-tempered. What did she do to make you dislike her so much?"

Chu Liuzheng chewed the chicken slowly and swallowed it before saying, "Sister, do you still remember that I was kidnapped by that little Yinzi and locked up in Zhaoxue Hall?"

Moxiang nodded: "Of course I remember."

"She was in the room at the time." Chu Liuzheng said, "Before I passed out, I saw her window was a crack open, and she was standing by the window."

Chu Liuzheng didn't blame Dong Wu for not coming out to save her. After all, one of the rules of survival in the palace was to stay out of other people's business to avoid getting into trouble.

Although it was understandable, Chu Liuzheng was not broad-minded enough to not mind at all.

Since you chose to stand idly by in the first place, just be basically polite and don't try to get any benefits from her.

There was plenty of chicken soup, but she didn't want to give it.

Besides, this guy's intentions are not pure.

[Do you really think I don't know that you went to Xinning Palace to meet Shen Chongyi? You suddenly find an excuse to get close to me. I don't believe you if you say there is nothing fishy going on.]

[I don't know what evil that carnivorous plant is up to. I have to be on guard.]

When Moxiang heard this, she fed Chu Liuzheng some soup and said, "We all live in the same courtyard. Don't get close to her, but don't offend her too much. Just stay away from her."

"I save it." Chu Liuzheng had already planned, "Just keep it like before."

Moxiang nodded, knowing that Chu Liuzheng had a plan in mind, so she didn't say much.

She changed the subject and said softly, "Your Majesty has come to visit you several times and ordered the imperial kitchen to make chicken soup for you. This matter cannot be concealed. Have you thought about how to deal with it?"

When the women in the harem become jealous, they may even kill people.

Chu Liuzheng really hadn't thought about it.

Aren’t you worried about having too much debt?

She was a brave warrior who had caused a big disturbance in Huaqing Palace! Moreover, in this palace, if you are favored by the emperor, a lot of people will want to kill you; if you are not favored by the emperor, a lot of people will abuse you to death.

Since no matter which choice you make, you will die, so you might as well lie down and hug your thighs. Just like before, do what the big boss wants.

By then, even if she accidentally got caught, the big boss would be able to lend her a hand like he did this time.

"That's it." Chu Liuzheng shrugged, "I'm not afraid of jealous people, and I won't accept flattery."

Moxiang chuckled, "Then you have become a piece of hard-to-eat meat, right?"

Hearing this description, Chu Liuzheng also laughed.

Moxiang fed her the last bit of chicken soup in the bowl and sighed softly: "Your temperament has changed a bit after what you've been through."

Chu Liuzheng tilted his head to look at her and winked playfully, "Sister, do you think I am better now or before?"

"Each has its own merits." Moxiang reached out and rubbed her head. "You used to put too much pressure on yourself. Now you can relax for a moment like this."

Chu Liuzheng was stunned when he heard this, and there was a hint of surprise in his eyes.

Moxiang took back her hand and said, "It's easy to get indigestion if you lie down right after eating. Sit for a while and I'll wash the bowl."

"it is good."

Wenhua Hall.

"Your Majesty, Envoy Wu is here."

"Xuan."

Envoy Wu quickly entered the palace carrying a medicine box on his back, "May your majesty be well."

"Stand up." Xiao Jingfan put the letter aside and looked up at him, "Sit down."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Envoy Wu sat in a reclining chair nearby.

Yuzhui brought the tea into the hall, placed it next to Xiao Jingfan, and then walked out.

Xiao Jingfan stared at her back in a daze, and suddenly remembered that Chu Liuzheng's injury would take another two months to heal.

Two months...

He picked up the tea, and the words that were about to come out of his mouth became: "Is there any way to make the palace maid's injury heal faster?"

Envoy Wu: “…”

How about you ask a deity to give it a try?

He held his breath for a moment, and said tactfully: "To reply to your Majesty, if you take good care of yourself, your injuries will recover faster."

Aren’t we just taking good care of it now?

Xiao Jingfan frowned unhappily: "Speak human language."

Envoy Wu: “…”

"The palace maid is young and has no old illness. If she can take some nourishing and medicinal food regularly, she will naturally recover faster."

Xiao Jingfan understood this time and ordered: "Leave this matter to the Imperial Hospital. You decide what kind of medicinal food to take and arrange it as soon as possible."

"The minister obeys the order."

Zhou Yuande, who was standing by, was puzzled.

Your Majesty, you care so much about her, providing her with good medicine and tonics, and now even medicated meals. Why are you waiting here instead of just taking her into the harem?
The eunuch is anxious!
very urgent!
This is probably why the emperor is not anxious, but the eunuch is.

Xiao Jingfan was completely unaware that the eunuch beside him was extremely anxious. After solving the problem of Chu Liuzheng's recovery from his injuries, the topic turned back to the main business.

He turned to look at Envoy Wu and asked, "What was the result?"

"Forgive me for my incompetence." Envoy Wu knelt down and pleaded guilty.

Xiao Jingfan laughed angrily, and casually picked up a golden bead and threw it at him, "You are so incompetent, I told you to go home and farm a long time ago. Tell the truth, and I will forgive you."

Dean Wu thought to himself that it would be better to go home and farm than to be an imperial physician who might be buried with the dead at any time.

However, he only dared to think about this in his heart.

Since His Majesty has pardoned him, he spoke boldly.
