There was a moon tonight and the room was not very dark. After adapting to the darkness, Lian Suisui could see the expression on his face.
"Uncle Emperor?"
They say beauty is seen under the moon. She almost thought Qin Hongye was a fairy in the sky outside just now. Looking at Chu Zhiyi now, she felt that he was not as cold as usual.
"I'm fine."
Chu Zhiyi didn't want others to know that he couldn't sleep, nor did he want to admit that he came specifically to see Lian Suisui.
A person's yard is deserted, and it always makes people feel lonely and empty on a night with such a beautiful moonlight.
Even Suisui couldn't sleep.
"Uncle Emperor, can you take me out to play? It's boring to stay at home."
The Qin family is very sensitive. She was discovered just by going out boating at night. If she was doing other things in the yard, she would definitely be discovered as well.
Only half of the long night has passed. Do you want to sit in a daze for the rest of the time?
Lian Suisui turned his attention to Chu Zhiyi. Since he could hide her entrance from everyone, he could surely take her out without everyone else!
"Where do you want to go?"
Lian Suisui said in surprise: "Just go out for a walk. I'm a little hungry. I want to find a place to cook something to eat!"
She used to go out to collect herbs, but even outdoors, there are many ways to cook delicious food. Now this season, outdoor barbecue is the most suitable... It has been a long time since she lost weight!
Chu Zhiyi hummed and snapped his fingers, and Shuying came in from the door and pushed him out of the room.
Lian Suisui grabbed a coat and chased after him.
She thought he was going to take her out of the house, but she didn't expect that he would take her inside, going deeper and deeper until they reached a more remote courtyard.
"There is no one here, Shuying, go prepare the ingredients."
Shuying, a secret guard, was treated as an errand boy. It took him two trips to prepare all the things Lian Suisui asked for. He squatted down to watch Lian Suisui lighting a fire in the open space of the yard.
Lian Suisui quickly marinated the slaughtered chicken with salt and various spices and herbs, wrapped it in a layer of mud and buried it in the fire. On the fire was placed the fish that Shuying had caught from the lotus pond.
It was quite cold at night, and even Suisui didn't feel the cold as he stayed by the fire. He turned around to see Chu Zhiyi, who was wearing thin clothes, and hesitantly put the coat he had brought on him.
"Don't dislike it. It's better to be ugly than to be sick."
And her coat was so wide and big that it covered him like a blanket.
Lian Suisui thought it was a bit funny. Being fat also had its advantages. At critical moments, she could stand up to two people by herself.
She continued to be busy grilling the fish, and put the wine that Shuying had brought from somewhere by the fire, so that it would not get too cold.
"Uncle Huang, your health is not suitable for drinking. Shuying, you have a heavy responsibility, so I reluctantly accepted this pot of wine, ha!"
Since traveling through time, Lian Suisui had hardly drank any wine. He couldn't wait to pull out the cork and took a sip. It was fragrant, and the alcohol was made from pure grains. The alcohol content was not high, so it could be drunk as beer, but it tasted better than beer.
She clicked her tongue and smacked her mouth.
"The grilled fish is ready, Shuying, stop standing and get one for your master."
Lian Suisui used a brush to apply a layer of honey on the fish, then raised it and handed it over, "Don't worry, it's not poisonous. If you don't believe it, I'll eat it first! My Lian Suisui brand's secret grilled fish can't be eaten outside!"
The two people behind him were silent, making Lian Suisui seem like a talker.
“Wild fish is also fragrant, and the cooked food tastes really good!”
She rarely goes out to eat in restaurants in modern times. They are heavy in oil and salt and taste terrible!
Chu Zhiyi had no appetite, so Lian Suisui sat in front of the fire and drank wine and meat, which brought back his memories. In the past, he had been so carefree and unrestrained, but no one had been with him for a long time.
"master……"
Shuying was a little worried. He saw that Lian Suisui put a lot of messy things when marinating the fish, so he didn't dare to let his master touch it. Although it was not poisonous, who could guarantee that it would not ruin his stomach or cause other diseases? Influence?
"It doesn't matter."
The surface of the freshly grilled fish was shiny with oil and the aroma was overwhelming. Chu Zhiyi took a piece and stuffed it into his mouth. The light sweetness and Chinese medicinal taste turned out to be surprisingly delicious.
Estimating the time, Lian Suisui took out the chicken buried in the fire. The mud ball was burned black. She patted it lightly, and the mud ball cracked, exuding an alluring smell. Shuying's stomach rumbled. The cry reached Lian Suisui's ears very clearly in the dark night.
Lian Suisui tore off a chicken leg himself and handed the rest to the master and servant.
"Where can I find such a good girl? If anyone marries me in the future, there will be smoke rising from his ancestral graves!"
After praising herself, she remembered, Gan, she was still engaged to King Cheng!
The good mood was instantly reduced.
Looking up and seeing Chu Zhiyi's face, her heart skipped a beat again.
"Hehe, I'm sorry, I forgot that your family is the same ancestral grave as King Cheng and Uncle Huang! Slip of the tongue!"
Lian Suisui raised his glass to Chu Zhiyi, took a sip himself, and turned to look at the fire that was about to go out.
"It's getting late, I'll go back first."
Even Suisui didn't worry about Chu Zhiyi and Shuying at all. They could come and go freely in the back house, so she didn't need to worry.
When I got drunk, I went back and covered myself with a quilt, and Lian Suisui slept soundly.
She was still in a trance when she woke up at midnight.
Xiaotao opened the door and came in.
"Miss, when did you pick the lotus flowers? They look pretty in a bottle."
It turns out it wasn't a dream last night. Did she drink the pill? Why can't she remember what Uncle Nine Emperors came to see her for?
"Suisui, your aunt is here to see you."
Lian Sui was seriously injured and bedridden, and the Qin family would not disturb her "recuperation" easily. When the eldest lady came over, she would definitely have something to discuss with her.
"Mom, I'll get up right now."
Mrs. Qin and the eldest lady waited outside for a while, and then came in after she had finished packing.
The eldest lady said worriedly: "Every year, Concubine Xian sent three imperial doctors to diagnose and treat you. Is your injury... okay?"
Did you send an imperial physician?
Even Suisui raised her eyebrows, she guessed that Weng Ling'er would not accept her conditions honestly, so she persuaded Concubine Xian to send the imperial doctor to test her.
"Don't worry, auntie, there's no problem with me. Just let them in."
Her words put the eldest lady's heart in her stomach.
"Okay, I'll have someone bring them in right now."
Neither the eldest lady nor Mrs. Qin were outsiders. Lian Suisui took out a pill from the medicine box and stuffed it into her mouth and swallowed it. Then she took out a silver needle and pricked herself a few times. The blood on her face was visible to the naked eye. It faded away, and the whole person was so weak that there was no blood on his lips.
Mrs. Qin and the eldest lady looked at each other.
"Sui Sui, this...has no effect on your body, right?"
This scene was so shocking that even if she knew that her serious injuries were fake, the eldest lady was still panicked and subconsciously wanted to order her servants to find the doctor.
Lian Suisui smiled weakly and held the eldest lady's hand tightly.
"My aunt is fine. It's just a disguise. It has no impact on the body."
"That's good."
While he was talking, the servant led the imperial doctor in, and the eldest lady made way.
"I'd like to thank you three imperial doctors."
The three imperial doctors didn't waste any time and stepped forward one by one to check his pulse. Everyone's brows were frowning more and more.
"Miss Third, is there anything else you don't feel comfortable about?"
Lian Suisui looked in pain.
"In addition to the constant dry cough, there is also a dull pain in my ribs..."
The imperial doctor pressed her ribs through the quilt, and she made a sound that frightened the imperial doctor and his hands shook.
