Chapter 301 Half Moon Period
This is the imperial palace, and the people rolling the dice are the emperor's men, relying on people's hearts. No one dares to use power to oppress others. They can only play the game honestly according to the rules.
Who wants to lose the bet first? Who wants to be put in the cold palace the longest and cause the elders in the family to be suspended from work for a month?
This game is destined to be a long stalemate.
The stalemate lasted until these people heard about gambling again and they would run as far as they could.
This night.
Chu Youning slept well.
However, many families in Beijing suffered from insomnia until late at night.
The next few days.
Chu Youning went out every day to rescue the fallen flower buds in the chaos. Before those imprisoned in the palace were released, new batches of people were imprisoned in again.
The originally empty palace in the harem was now unexpectedly filled with a lot of life.
and……
The activities in each palace are different.
The only thing that is the same is probably the pitiful crying of the boys and girls.
Chu Youning did this for half a month.
Within half a month, all the evil tendencies in the capital were almost completely eliminated.
All the children of officials who love to play and make noise have been very well-behaved recently. They would rather stay at home and sleep than go out to play.
Even if there are people who can't help but go out, at most they go shopping, eat, or read books and do good deeds.
For a time, Chu Youning was the most famous person in the capital.
Storytellers compiled Chu Youning's deeds into a book, and many theaters sang praises of her strange stories.
Ambitious people praised her to the sky, while the dissolute ones dared only curse her in their hearts.
And Chu Wenzong.
Chu Wenzong these days.
Because the harem took in many children from other families.
Ministers came to talk to him every day.
then……
His head hurt more and more.
The thought of going to Huayin Temple to purify himself became more and more distant from him.
~~~
In the blink of an eye.
The autumn wind blew, and an autumn rain washed away a lot of the heat.
Chu Youning also got up early that day.
"Tong, Qing Qianxue's poison should be almost completely cured today, right?"
[Yes.]
The system spoke slowly.
Then, after a few seconds of silence, it spoke again:
[The host really cares about me.]
"After all, it was me who gave the patient the medicine, so I have to follow up on his condition in a timely manner."
Chu Youning spoke out righteously.
Afterwards, she got up, washed, changed her clothes, and ran straight in the direction of Shadow Pavilion without even eating.
The system remained silent.
It feels.
Its host seems to have developed a stubborn habit as well.
He had admitted a few days ago that he had feelings for her, but now he's been beating around the bush again.
~~~
Not long after.
Chu Youning appeared at the door of the rice shop.
Knocked on the door three times gently.
The rice shop door opened.
Qian Ying came out to greet him.
Looking at Chu Youning, she was filled with joy:
"You're here! The master should be coming out soon. I'll take you over to wait for him!!!"
"good."
Chu Youning nodded lightly.
Inexplicably, she felt a little more expectant in her heart, as well as an inexplicable longing.
Seeing that Chu Youning had not shown any intention to ask about her master's situation during the whole journey, Qian Ying could not help but look at her and spoke again:
"Well...you...don't you want to ask me about my master's situation these days?"
"He's in seclusion to detoxify. Shouldn't he just take medicine and meditate in an endless cycle? What could possibly happen?"
Chu Youning looked at her in confusion.
There was a look of sudden enlightenment and a hint of complexity in Qianying's eyes when she looked at Chu Youning.
"You... gave the master the antidote. Don't you know what the master should do during the detoxification period?"
"What else can he do? Can he detoxify and produce a flower?"
Chu Youning frowned.
According to the novels and dramas she had read, detoxification meant either lying down all day or sitting cross-legged all day.
There is no need to eat or drink. When the time comes, someone will help feed you medicine, or you may vomit blood occasionally. Apart from that, there is nothing else.
"The effect of your medicine takes effect every night, and the master will recover as usual during the day. Besides resting, he plays chess and listens to your deeds in the capital these days."
Qian Ying looked at Chu Youning's bewildered expression, feeling inexplicably amused and helpless.
Everyone was guessing that the reason the princess hadn't come to visit her master these days was because she was busy doing charity work and saving misguided young people.
Unexpectedly, she thought that her master took medicine and meditated in an endless cycle?
After thinking for a while, Qian Ying couldn't help but add: "These days, the master would stare at the food box you sent that day and stare blankly. I think he really wants to see you, but... you haven't come yet."
“Oh.”
Chu Youning nodded without saying anything else, his face turning red.
Qing Qianxue hears about her glorious deeds every day? Still wants to see her?
This, this, this... Then doesn't he also know those harmful ways she plays tricks on people?
"Tongzi, why didn't you tell me earlier that detoxification works like this?"
[You didn't ask.]
A familiar answer.
“…”
Chu Youning clenched his fists silently.
The two chatted casually and walked step by step to the door of the secret room.
Outside the door, Qian Miao and Qian Yan saw Chu Youning and greeted her.
To this day, Qian Miao's eyes when looking at Chu Youning have become softer and gentler, like a boy's mother.
