Nie You paused for a moment, then looked up at Mo Yunzhao, his face expressionless as he remained silent.

Mo Yunzhao just watched him quietly, without urging him.

In the quiet, you can hear the comforting sound of Mo Yunlan drinking soup, making you want to try it yourself and imagine how delicious it is.

After a moment of silence, Nie You spoke, "I only saw it by chance. His Highness... he was using his blood to refine pills."

"Refining pills with blood?" Mo Yunzhao frowned.

Nie You gave a wooden "hmm," and said, "It's a Qi and Blood Pill that was refined for Lord Mo City using his blood."

Mo Yunzhao's face paled, and her thin lips trembled. "Is he stupid?"

Why can't we give her chicken blood, duck blood, or pig blood like we did with Fu Liu?

So he ended up using human blood?

"Go ask His Highness. In any case, I have seen that Lord Mo's health is getting better day by day after taking the Qi and Blood Pill."

Mo Yunzhao had no intention of asking any further questions and waved his hand.

She looked up at the plum tree laden with plums. A few rays of sunlight shone through the gaps in the branches onto her face, causing her to squint slightly.

When he arrived at Sunjiazhuang, he glanced at her hand and was quite displeased.

Later, he didn't mention it again, only giving her Qi and Blood Pills.

He...sigh.

Mo Yunlan sipped the red date and white fungus soup. The soup was slightly yellow, and the white fungus was cooked until it was thick and delicious, with a faint fruity aroma.

She picked it up and drank it all, finding it delicious.

There was a white thing at the bottom of the bowl.

"Nie You, what is this?"

Nie You walked over and said, "Oh, they are fish eyes. I specially cut four fish eyes into them."

Mo Yunlan silently placed her hand on the large cleaver beside her. "When I eat it, it seems to have a faint fruity aroma."

"Yes, I squeezed some papaya juice in on purpose."

Mo Yunlan gripped the large cleaver, looked up at Nie You with a smile, and asked, "So, what's the purpose of you sending this bowl of soup?"

"His Highness sent it. When it returns, I'll make you a pig's heart soup. His Highness said to replenish what you lack..."

"Nie You!"

"This won't make you fat."

Before Nie You could finish speaking, Mo Yunlan was chasing after him again, wielding a large cleaver.

Mo Yunzhao withdrew his gaze, then curled his lips into a faint smile.

It's fine as it is now.

The next day.

Nian Zhaoge delivered a bowl of grapes and a pot of pork heart soup.

Fu Liu peeled grapes beside her, then looked at the fragrant pork heart soup in the bowl, then at the big white dog with the tiger bringing fish, and then at herself.

Mo Yunlan stirred the pig heart soup and searched around, and sure enough, she found four fish eyes.

She looked up at Mo Yunzhao, "Ah Zhao, can I go to Medicine God Valley and hunt him down?"

Mo Yunzhao smiled and nodded, "Okay."

Mo Yunlan, fuming, picked up the bowl. "Dabai, here's some pork heart soup for you, with fish in it..."

Big White excitedly stood up, its fluffy tiger head approaching Mo Yunlan, its golden pupils darting around, waiting to be eaten.

There are fish.

It eats.

Mo Yunlan smelled the aroma and her appetite was whetted. She lowered her head and took a bite.

It tastes so good.

"I'm hungry, I'll eat by myself."

Feeling tricked, Big White bared its teeth and was about to roar when it saw Mo Yunzhao looking over. It immediately twitched its whiskers and meowed.

The owner, upon seeing this, always felt that its tiger fur was in danger of being lost.

"Big White, let's go dry some big fish." Fu Liu patted the big white tiger's head and left.

A moment later, a maid came in to announce that Mo Bilian had arrived.

Mo Yunzhao raised an eyebrow and had him brought in.

Mo Bilian stood outside the city lord's mansion, waiting, her eyes slightly deep as she looked at the tightly closed gate.

A few months ago, she was still the young mistress of the city lord's mansion, and she could come and go freely. But now, she can only wait outside the mansion for permission to enter.
