...
"Hmm...a little hot..."
"The taste is a bit weird..."
The empress looked troubled.
Zhao Wujiang smiled faintly.
"Do you feel it? It's changing, this is Yang Qi!"
The empress nodded slowly, with a grimace on her face and her beautiful brows furrowed.
"Swallow it!" Seeing that the empress refused to swallow, Zhao Wujiang said earnestly:
"Swallow it and obey..."
The empress snorted and felt the strange taste of the liquid in her mouth. Her heart skipped a beat and she swallowed it.
"Gulu." After the empress finished swallowing, her face wrinkled with anger, expressing her dissatisfaction with Zhao Wujiang.
Zhao Wujiang shook his head and smiled:
"With the arrival of mid-autumn, the temperature drops sharply and the weather is extremely cold. If you were cold last night, just put on some clothes to keep out the cold. Why bother to hold on on the sidelines?
I'm fine now, but I was infected with the cold, which made me get up early in the morning to prepare medicine for you, but you weren't willing to drink it! "
"Your medicine is very bitter and weird, how can I be happy about it?" the empress said with a serious face.
After she reluctantly completed the bet with Zhao Wujiang last night, Zhao Wujiang slept with Concubine Xiao Shu on her behalf, and the bed curtains shook for more than three hours.
In order to prevent Zhao Wujiang from pouring his favor into Xiao Shufei's body, she just watched and supervised the battle. As a result, the cold air entered her body and she was infected with wind chill.
"Good medicine tastes bitter!" Zhao Wujiang smiled lightly:
"If you want to get rid of the cold as soon as possible, I can only make you a special medicine that will take effect quickly.
And that’s not a weird smell, it’s the unique medicinal aroma of each medicinal ingredient! "
The empress wanted to take a sip of tea to relieve the taste in her mouth, but Zhao Wujiang stopped her, saying that the tea would remove the potency of the medicine.
She took a long breath and hummed softly:
"Where does the medicinal aroma come from? The medicinal materials taste weird. You are not allowed to add rock sugar. It is so bitter that it is difficult to swallow!"
"In this medicinal soup, rock sugar and tea will weaken the potency of the medicine, which is not good for you to cure wind and cold." Zhao Wujiang said with a smile:
"Compared with the bitter taste you suffered today, which one is weirder than the fishy taste you tasted last night?"
"You!" The empress raised her eyebrows for a moment, feeling ashamed and annoyed in her heart. She recalled all the things she had done to fulfill the bet last night, and she felt that her cheeks, which were already a little hot, became even hotter:
"Don't mention it again!"
"If you eat the most bitter things, you will be a superior person; if you taste the most fishy food, you will be a subordinate." Zhao Wujiang shook his head.
The empress was ashamed and angry:
"I am the emperor!"
Your focus is a bit strange... Zhao Wujiang coughed dryly and corrected with a smile: "It tastes fishy, I respect you as the emperor who fulfills the contract!"
"Shut up! I won't argue with you!" The empress was so angry that her teeth started to itch.
Zhao Wujiang raised his eyebrows:
"When have you and I quarreled with each other? It's not your words..."
"Get out!" The empress was shy and angry, grabbed the ancient books on the table and patted them over:
"Go and inspect the harem!"
"Follow your orders!" Zhao Wujiang dodged the slap of the book and walked out of the house:
"I'm sorry to leave you."
"Phew!" The empress' face turned red and she threw the book angrily.
Zhao Wujiang took a big step, turned around and closed the door. With a bang, the book hit the door, and the empress' voice scolding him came from inside the room.
He ignored it, folded his hands in his sleeves, and walked leisurely towards the harem, starting a day of inspection.
After the inspection, he would go out of the palace to visit Hua Ruyu.
Nowadays, the Dijiao Gang exists in name only. Most of the members have died after the last strangulation by the Faceless Men and the Qianlong Sect. However, there are still a small number of elders who are running around in the rivers and lakes to investigate news or handle important matters. They have survived.
Zhao Wujiang needs to win over these people through Hua Ruyu. He wants to form his own force and needs manpower.
The idea of forming his own force has been lingering in his mind.
One is to strengthen one's own foundation in order to be able to find a place in the chaos in the future.
The second is to resist the harm of other forces or individuals, such as the Qianlong Sect and the Faceless Man, the unpredictable Xiaoyao King...
The third is to avenge Qi Lin and others. He will repay blood with blood and will not let his hatred disappear over time.
