Chapter 68 Don't blame me for being partial

It was late when we got back to the camp.

Call the imperial physician.

The imperial physician this time was named Lin, and he was said to be very good at treating external injuries. He treated the emperor's wounds and prescribed medicine. An Jiu and Aunt Qu went to boil the medicine, while Prince Jing and the emperor talked in the tent.

Aunt Qu was so distressed that she burst into tears.

"Your Majesty is most afraid of pain, how could this happen..." Aunt Qu sighed: "The forest is so dangerous, he shouldn't be allowed to go."

An Jiu listened quietly. In fact, she was also very scared. Until now, her hands and feet were still weak and she had no strength all over her body. But she was just a palace maid, and palace maids were servants. No one cared whether she was tired or afraid. No one asked her a single question. She was directly sent to boil medicine.

An Jiu held her chin and thought back to what happened today. She and the emperor had really been to the gates of hell.

Is this the price of monthly salary increase?

I wish I could be like Xia, Qiu, and Dong, without having to work overtime, deal with bosses, or risk my life...

The more I think about it, the more I feel like I'm being wronged.

An Jiu asked Aunt Qu: "Aunt, do you think the food I cooked is delicious?"

Aunt Qu said, "It's delicious."

“Is it so delicious that it is irreplaceable?”

Aunt Qu shook her head.

No,

The home-cooked dishes made by Anjiu taste good, but they are not irreplaceable.

"That……"

Aunt Qu shook her head and looked at An Jiu: "Xiao Jiu, do you really think that His Majesty likes to be with you just because the food you cook is delicious?"

An Jiu frowned: "Isn't it?"

Aunt Qu smiled: "No."

She breathed a sigh of relief: "Why did we build a small kitchen in Guanghua Hall?"

An Jiu thought it was for the convenience of boiling water, isn’t it?

Sure enough, Aunt Qu rejected her idea.

"In the past, there were people in our palace who cooked for His Majesty, but later His Majesty found it troublesome and stopped doing so. You know, His Majesty is a very restrained person."

That's absolutely correct.

When An Jiu first came, even if the emperor liked to eat something, he would restrain himself from eating too much.

But now...

He is so greedy.

Is it because of her that he changed?

No way...

She has to leave the palace when she reaches a certain age, and she can't be a maid warming the emperor's bed.

Aunt Qu nodded: "Although I don't know why, His Majesty is very special to you."

An Jiu "..."

Aunt Qu couldn't explain it at all, so when the medicine was ready, An Jiu took it to the emperor.

The emperor's wound had been bandaged and he was lying on the bed. When he heard the noise, he looked up at An Jiu.

An Jiu said: "Your Majesty, it's time to take the medicine."

The emperor said nothing and turned his head to the other side, his refusal being very obvious.

"I won't drink it, it's too bitter."

An Jiu "..."

"Your Majesty, good medicine tastes bitter. Only by drinking it can the injury be healed."

The emperor snorted coldly: "Who gave you the courage to order me?"

An Jiu "..."

Suddenly I wanted to throw the medicine bowl on his face. Whoever falls in love with this crappy class can join it. I won’t serve you anymore.

An Jiu didn't say anything.

After a stalemate, An Jiu said, "After taking the medicine, there are candied fruits and fruit danpi. Your Majesty, would you like to eat some?"

The emperor turned his head and looked at her fiercely: "Do I look greedy?"

An Jiu pricked up his ears but couldn't hear his inner voice, which meant that these were his real thoughts.

An Jiu wanted to say, don’t you know whether you are greedy or not?

An Jiu went to get his last snack.

The emperor didn't react much when he saw them. These things were not rare but very common. Only the fruit leather was a little attractive, but it was gone after just one look.

[It doesn’t look that delicious. ]

[No, no, no, even if it tastes good, I won’t eat it. ]

[I’m angry!!!]

An Jiu "?"

What's wrong with that? He got angry because of what I did to him.

An Jiu was completely confused. It was really hard to guess what a boy was thinking. Even if she heard his voice, she couldn't guess what he was thinking...

But An Jiu couldn't ask directly, and when she didn't know what to do, she suddenly heard the emperor's voice.

[She must think I am inferior to that idiot. ]

[It's ridiculous. Isn't it because of him that I got hurt? ]

[Now the two of them are in the same group.]

[They are in cahoots with each other, adulterers and whores! 】

Anjiu'...'

This is too much...

She is very tired, okay...

But the emperor kept complaining, like a hundred ducks quacking. An Jiu was so sleepy that she was shaking. He hadn't finished speaking yet. An Jiu couldn't stand it anymore, so she stood up.

The Emperor stared at her.

[What is she going to do? ]

An Jiu said: "Your Majesty, drink the medicine."

She put the medicine next to the emperor's mouth. The emperor was still hesitating, so An Jiu poured it down his throat. The emperor's face was distorted with bitterness, and a candied fruit was put into his mouth.

The emperor was furious: "Damn it, how dare you, I...I..."

"I'll take my leave."

An Jiu yawned and left.

She was really too tired and sleepy, so she might as well die, she wouldn't live anymore, just give up!

Outside the tent, she could no longer hear the emperor's voice.

The surroundings were very quiet. Everyone was asleep at this time and it would be dawn soon, but she had to work overtime...

I won't serve you anymore.

When I returned to the room, only Xiaodong was there.

She didn't sleep either. She just stared at An Jiu like a psycho.

An Jiu was too lazy to pay attention and went to bed.

She slept very soundly. When she was half asleep, she heard a woman's scream. An Jiu turned over and covered her head with the quilt.

After an unknown amount of time, An Jiu woke up. She was startled when she opened her eyes and found herself sleeping on the edge of the bed, occupying the space of two palms. She exhaled and was startled again...

The emperor was sleeping next to her, staring at her without blinking.

What are you doing?

Was it revenge for giving him the medicine?

Before An Jiu could figure out what to do, he heard the emperor say, "Hungry..."

An Jiu was delighted, this was a tyrant.

The tyrant looked at Anjiu with his ignorant big eyes, just like a hungry little monster with big eyes in a nest...

Women like this kind of contrasting cuteness.

An Jiu's terrible maternal love overflowed again. She looked around, there was no one in the house and it was almost dawn.

She got up, cleaned up, and asked the tyrant: "Does your injury hurt?"

The tyrant shook his head.

[It hurts, but I won’t say it.]

An Jiu thought, look, look, it’s no wonder she’s biased.

This gap...

The emperor screamed like Psyduck, and the tyrant endured the pain without saying a word.

"Your Majesty, what would you like to eat?"

An Jiu was walking in front and didn't notice Xiaodong, who was knocked unconscious and thrown under the bed, was looking at them with frightened eyes.

The tyrant shook his head: "Eat."

An Jiu thought about it and decided that since this guy was injured, he should indeed eat light food, so he made him an omelet, spread some of the sauce that An Jiu brought, and also made him an egg soup.

The tyrant ate it all and gave Anjiu a gold ingot.

Look, look, look how generous he is, not like an emperor, but like a miser, with so many things to do...
