"The medicine is gone."
"A bottle contained a hundred pills, and it's all gone?"
Fang Ruotang's eyes widened, and she retorted, "Do you think this medicine is like food?"
Huo Zhige hesitated, looking at Fang Ruotang, and admitted in a low voice, "I didn't take the medicine! I gave it to some of the more seriously injured brothers. My injuries are too minor for such good medicine."
Fang Ruotang blinked slowly, her heart suddenly clenching.
"Don't be upset. I didn't mean to share the life-saving medicine you gave me with others. It's just that on the battlefield, swords and spears have no eyes. Some of my brothers are seriously injured, and they will die if they don't take the medicine."
"I'm not angry. You did the right thing by giving them to them. They are great heroes who defended our country. You should have saved them. It was my oversight. I should have prepared more medicine for you!"
Fang Ruotang admired the great general, and also respected the young soldiers who led from the front.
"No, you have already done a lot, and the soldiers in the army are very grateful to you."
The military doesn't have such good conditions; it's not allowed for each person to have one elixir. One elixir can save several lives. In his view, the casualties in this war of annihilation were already very small.
"I didn't do anything, no need to thank me, you should take your medicine first."
Fang Ruotang asked Xiao Jingzi for the medicine again, put it on the small tray on the table, and poured him a glass of warm water. Seeing that he was just staring at her without moving, she couldn't help but urge him again.
"Eat quickly! You'll feel better after you eat."
"You feel sorry for me?"
Huo Zhige raised his eyebrows, radiating a cheerful mood.
Fang Ruotang nodded obediently.
"You look so miserable, it makes me feel a little uncomfortable."
Huo Zhige grinned like a silly dog, obediently took the medicine, and his body quickly recovered, his voice becoming clear again.
Perhaps it was because of the medicine, but my thoughts were much clearer. My smile faded as I asked, "You and the Crown Prince..."
"Yes, I slept with him!"
Fang Ruotang puffed out her chest, looking somewhat proud.
Huo Zhige's lips twitched, and he looked at Fang Ruotang with a blank expression.
No, what are you so proud of!
Given their relationship, she's not even going to pretend anymore, right?
So you don't need him anymore now that you have the crown prince, right?
You don't care about him anymore, huh?
Huo Zhige was about to go crazy on the spot. As he crawled in the shadows, he heard Fang Ruotang tilt her head and, in a tone of commenting on pork, glance at him up and down and say, "You're dirty and smelly. I don't want to sleep with you now. Wait a little longer! Wait until I've slept with Minister Ye before we talk about it."
Huo Zhige picked at his ear.
"...Does anyone speak?"
Fang Ruotang blinked her clear, big eyes and asked, "Didn't you all hear what I was thinking when I was seeing six people at the same time? You didn't object! What? You're not happy about it now? Oh, forget it then! I won't sleep with you anymore, and I won't flirt with you anymore."
"No, stop, stop, stop!"
Huo Zhige raised his hand to interrupt Fang Ruotang from continuing.
"You know about your secret being leaked? Who told you?"
"Brother Crown Prince! After I slept with him, he was able to talk to the little mirror and told me about my thoughts being leaked. You guys are so mean! You secretly listened to my thoughts and watched me running around like that. Were you all laughing at me in your hearts?"
Fang Ruotang puffed out her cheeks and started looking for trouble.
Huo Zhige's first reaction was to deny it, and then he admitted his mistake.
"No, you're cute no matter what. I wouldn't laugh at you. Besides, I'm the one pursuing you. I should be the one running towards you. You're not jumping around like that; I'm the one jumping around trying to get your attention."
"Really?" Fang Ruotang looked at Huo Zhige with suspicion.
Huo Zhige nodded firmly, then froze after a few nods. He then asked, "It's true that all six of us are pursuing you, but what I'm getting at is that you're going to associate with all six of us from now on?"
"Is that not allowed? My brother, the Crown Prince, said that I am a celestial messenger, so it's only right that I have more people serving me! Everyone says so, and everyone thinks so! Isn't that what you think too?"
"No, little cutie, that was just the Crown Prince spreading rumors to brainwash the common people. How could you actually believe it?"
Fang Ruotang frowned, thought it over and over, and felt that there was nothing wrong with it!
Anyway, she accepted it.
After all, she is a celestial messenger! Which celestial being doesn't have several servants under their command? She can't be any less than others.
"...You don't want to?" Fang Ruotang finally understood Huo Zhige's meaning, but after thinking for a moment, she said, "If you're not happy, I won't force you. I'll just remove you from the list!"
"No, why am I being excluded?"
"Because you don't want to!"
"I don't want to. Can't you just have me by your side?"
"Are you kidding me? I'd give up the other five people for just you? Count for yourself, is it one big or five big?"
[Tsk, being pampered by one person or by five people—anyone would know to make the choice.]
Although Fang Ruotang had been trying to change these past few days, she had gotten used to talking to the little mirror in her mind and subconsciously started chatting with it again.
That's right, we don't want him. Even if he comes back begging on his knees, we won't pay him any attention.
"Little mirror!" Huo Zhige gritted his teeth. "I can hear you. You better pray that you don't fall into my hands one day, then I'll show you how to deal with you."
Xiao Jingzi was clearly afraid of Huo Zhige, and after he made that threat, she fell silent.
Fang Ruotang was a little unhappy.
Why are you so fierce?
"Why are you so contrary to the Heavenly Gang? You were the one who wronged me first, and instead of saying a few nice words to coax me, you just want to abandon me. Do you expect me to beg you for something like this?" Huo Zhige felt extremely aggrieved.
Fang Ruotang pouted and said hurtfully, "I didn't make any promises with you. Besides, even if I'm sorry, it should be for my brother, the Crown Prince, first! I was with him first, and the Crown Prince didn't say anything to me, so why are you saying anything to me?"
Huo Zhige was furious, because Fang Ruotang's words made some sense.
"Besides, matters between men and women are based on mutual consent. Aren't we discussing this right now? If you're not happy, can I force you? We should part amicably!"
Huo Zhige: ...
There's absolutely no room for discussion here.
Fang Ruotang got angry and scolded, "Anyway, we're almost at the city gate, so get out of the carriage and ride your horse."
Huo Zhige was taken aback. "You're kicking me out?"
“Yes!” Fang Ruotang replied loudly.
Huo Zhige stared at Fang Ruotang, his teeth grinding together and his fists clenched tightly.
Will he hit me?
No, but he might hit himself to make you feel sorry for him.
He's not Ye Wuxia.
Fang Ruotang didn't know everything about the six men's personalities, but she did know a thing or two about them, since they had all been so proactive in showing themselves to her.
Huo Zhige is like a rock with sharp edges, and its interior is very hot, like magma.
