King Huai recalled the days when he was a child, when his stomach growled with hunger, but his father kept talking big, leaving him and his brother staring blankly at the roasted chicken in front of them.
Now it's exactly the same, even more so.
King Huai really wanted to ask her, "When will you give me the pill? I'm waiting!"
Huahua: [By the way, host, how do you plan to deliver the elixir to King Huai? ]
King Huai was so excited that he finally got to the point.
Giving it openly was too conspicuous, and King Huai didn't know how to cover up the lie.
Giving it in secret didn't seem to suit Jiang Shuyue's character, mainly because her mind wasn't sinister enough, and she probably wouldn't have thought of such a thing.
Just as King Huai was thinking about how to seduce Jiang Shuyue, she took out a candy box from her sleeve.
"Your Majesty, Xiaotao bought me a box of candy. I ate it and thought it tasted good, so I bought you another one. Do you like candy?"
Huahua: [Oh my god, host, you're so clever! You actually disguised the elixir as candy. King Huai has mortal eyes, so he definitely won't be able to detect it!]
Jiang Shuyue: [That's right. After all, I've lived for so many years, so I still have some brains!]
King Huai took the candy box with an excited heart and trembling hands.
Completely ignoring the truth that there was only one pill in the candy box.
She probably finished her candy and forgot about this matter, so she just took the empty box to put the pills in.
King Huai repeatedly expressed his love for it and accurately grabbed the only pill and stuffed it into his mouth.
A warm current rushed through my body, as if the warmth coming from my bones was washing over my body over and over again.
After the tingling and numbness in the legs, there is heat!
The long-lost heat almost made him cry with joy.
Butler Chen and the attendants stared at King Huai nervously, and Jiang Shuyue was also staring at his legs in a daze, not noticing the expressions of the others.
Jiang Shuyue: [Huahua, why hasn't King Huai reacted yet? Is one pill not enough? I gave it such a domineering name, but it's not powerful enough!]
Huahua: [What if he suddenly stood up? What would you do? Would you act surprised and cooperate with him? Besides, the effect of the medicine is gradual. Too strong a medicine is not good for the body. He should be able to run by tomorrow.]
Is this still fierce?
King Huai smiled secretly and pinched his leg.
It hurts, it hurts so much!
If I had known this earlier, I wouldn’t have been so harsh!
But this kind of pain feels so good!
King Huai had tears in his eyes. At this moment, the expressions of the attendants and Butler Chen relaxed, with joy in their eyes. They knew it was successful!
Jiang Shuyue: [What's wrong with King Huai? Why does he look like he's about to cry? Could it be that the elixir is so delicious that it moved him to tears?]
King Huai endured it for a moment and said with a smile, "It's been a long time since I've had such delicious candy. Thank you very much."
"You're welcome. If you really want to thank me, how about giving me your wheelchair? My house is in need of a jewel-encrusted chair."
"Old Chen, immediately send all the wheelchairs in the warehouse to the Zhennan Marquis' Mansion. Remember to also send the one that my mother gave me during the New Year."
"I understand. I will deliver it to you in good time."
Anyway, they would not be used in the future, and King Huai was annoyed looking at them. Instead of keeping them in the warehouse to gather dust, he decided to give them to Jiang Shuyue as a token of gratitude.
Jiang Shuyue was still staring at his wheelchair in a daze: [Things from the warehouse... I can't believe King Huai is so stingy, giving me things he doesn't need, but I just want this shiny one.]
Huahua: [You don't understand this, right? The two wheelchairs King Huai uses daily are the most low-key. The ones in the warehouse are the most valuable.]
During the Chinese New Year last year, the Empress Dowager had a throne made of a single piece of Hetian jade, inlaid with gold, given to him. The Emperor also gave him a throne inlaid with gold and gemstones, slightly smaller than the thrones in European palaces.
After hearing this, Jiang Shuyue was already addicted to money and couldn't extricate herself.
[Hahaha, I'm rich, I'm rich! I'll take the wheels apart, cast them into gold chair legs, and put them in my room. I'll sit on them day and night, feeling rich and prosperous!]
Seeing how happy she was, King Huai knew that he had made the right choice in giving the gift, so he quickly asked the housekeeper Chen to take out his treasured green tea to entertain Jiang Shuyue.
From today on, Jiang Shuyue is his only faith.
With her here, what else is there to ask for? It’s more effective to ask her directly!
The attendant was also very helpful. He sorted out some precious spices and flowers and gave them to Jiang Shuyue.
She looked at the servant, who had delicate skin and a pair of curved eyes, and couldn't help but sigh: "Are all boys nowadays this good-looking? He looks like a little girl."
The servant's hands trembled, and he put down the flower pot with forced calmness.
Huahua: [Remove the word "like" and she's just a little girl! ]
King Huai and Steward Chen were both stunned, their eyes constantly glancing at the attendants.
girl?
No, we’ve lived together for three years and I never noticed it!
Could it be that Huahua’s test was wrong this time?
Huahua: [The attendant's original name was Lin Moyu. His family ran a cloth shop. Seven years ago, their hometown was attacked by bandits, and they nearly died at their hands. It was King Huai who led his men to eliminate the bandits and gave them fifty taels of silver for travel expenses.]
[When they moved to the imperial capital, King Huai had been poisoned and became disabled, but the little girl was obsessed with him. It happened that King Huai was in a bad mood at the time, and the palace wanted to hire a few personal attendants to take care of him, so she disguised herself as a man and came in.]
Jiang Shuyue: [The little girl is quite innocent, but didn't Prince Huai and the others notice?]
Huahua: [She was only thirteen three years ago, and hadn't grown up yet. There were also many young boys with feminine features. And everyone's attention was on Prince Huai at the time, so they probably didn't notice.]
[However, she got her period this year and had cramps a few days ago. She soiled her pants but didn't dare to tell anyone. So, in the middle of the night, while everyone else was asleep, she secretly dug a hole and buried the pants.]
Lin Moyu's face turned red.
She knew that everyone could hear Jiang Shuyue's thoughts, and she was so embarrassed that she wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into, and she didn't even dare to look at King Huai's face.
King Huai was also dumbfounded.
When he became disabled, his childhood sweetheart, who was originally engaged to him, found an opportunity to break off the engagement and left. He never expected that there was still a little girl who was thinking about him.
This feeling...
Besides the surprise, I am more moved...
Jiang Shuyue: [Lin Moyu hasn't had it easy either. She's been secretly in love with her savior since she was nine, disguised herself as a man to take care of him for three years, and she doesn't even want a formal marriage. But I think she seems to have grown up. Is she getting breast enlargement? I wonder how much longer she can keep it a secret.]
Lin Moyu's face was burning: I can't hide it anymore, after you gossip, I can't hide anything anymore...
Huahua: [Unrequited love is always bittersweet, let's just live one day at a time.]
Jiang Shuyue: [Silent Rain's Love Story could be made into a TV series! I hope the ending isn't too tragic.]
Lin Moyu lowered his head deeply and stepped aside, not daring to look at Butler Chen, let alone King Huai.
But the way she looked like she was trying hard to hold back her tears made King Huai feel distressed.
