Chapter 143: The Miraculous Ginseng and Antler Cream, the Shameless Luo Jinan
Xu Nian originally planned to stay in Fengyang City for a longer time to accompany Luo Jinan. After all, New Year's Day is not far away. However, because Fengyang City is just beginning to be settled and the city is still in chaos, Luo Jinan is worried about Xu Nian's safety and will not agree to her staying here no matter what.
It just so happened that Luo Xihe was also at the Border Guard's Mansion, so Luo Jin'an suggested that she stay there for a while, and he would pick her up after the war was over.
Although Xu Nian wanted to accompany Luo Jinan, she didn't want to distract him, so she readily agreed. But before leaving, she spent a day making a few bottles of ginseng and antler paste for Luo Jinan. This ginseng and antler paste was made by Xu Nian after looking up many ancient prescriptions and combining them with the pulse diagnosis of female doctor Han.
Although the ginseng and antler paste cannot detoxify the Tianshan snow poison in Luo Jinan's body, because it has the functions of replenishing qi and blood and regulating the five internal organs, Luo Jinan has not had any poison attacks since taking this paste for such a long time.
Xu Nian looked at the prepared ointment in her hand and couldn't help but sigh in her heart. Fortunately, she had the magical object of space, otherwise the herbs used by Luo Jinan would be very difficult to find. The ginseng used in the prescription was more than 500 years old, and the deer antlers were also taken from the deer that Xu Nian raised in the space. If these herbs were to be found outside, it would not only be a matter of money, but it would also be difficult to find such old ones.
Xu Nian took the ointment to Luo Jinan's study. At this time, officials from Fengyang City were discussing matters with Luo Jinan in the room. When Mo Bai saw Xu Nian coming, he bowed from a distance, turned around and knocked on the study door.
"Your Highness, the young lady is here."
As Xu Nian approached, he faintly heard the sound of conversation coming from the study. When he wanted to reach out to stop Mo Bai, it was too late, so he could only wait quietly by the side.
After hearing Mo Bai's report, Luo Jin'an raised his hand to stop the discussion in the room and said in a deep voice: "Let's stop here for today. I will only look at the results you will come up with in the future. I hope you will not disappoint me."
"Yes, I will take my leave."
Several officials hurriedly agreed and left the study. When they saw Xu Nian waiting outside, they bowed their heads and saluted, but did not dare to look up. They heard that the girl was brought back to the mansion by His Royal Highness the Prince yesterday. Although they did not know where she came from, they knew that she was very much favored by His Royal Highness.
Sure enough, when they just passed Xu Nian, they saw His Royal Highness the Prince coming out to greet them and addressing the girl in a very affectionate manner.
Luo Jinan took the wooden box from Xu Nian's hand and led her into the study. Seeing this, Mo Bai waved his hand and took the tea-serving maid and the servant out of the study, and considerately closed the door.
Luo Jinan casually placed the wooden box on the table, sat on the chair while holding Xu Nian in his arms, and looked at Xu Nian with a malicious smile.
As soon as Xu Nian saw Luo Jinan's eyes, he knew that he had evil intentions. He hit his shoulders twice and stood up.
"The study is a very important place, and you are not ashamed."
Luo Jinan did not stop Xu Nian's action, but held his chin and smiled meaningfully, "What are you thinking about, Nian Nian? I just want to take a good look at you."
Luo Jinan stood up with a smile and walked to Xu Nian's side. He lowered his head and leaned into Xu Nian's ear and whispered, "Nian Nian, do you want to tell me what you were thinking about just now?"
Xu Nian looked at the person who was supposed to be Feng Qinglangyue but was saying shameless words, especially the sound that made her numb in her ears, and said shyly: "Luo Jinan, your skin is itchy, isn't it?"
Looking at the pretty lady with rosy face, Luo Jinan didn't dare to tease her too harshly, for fear of making her really angry and run away. Then he would have nowhere to cry.
"I know I was wrong. Please don't bother with a shameless guy like me, okay?"
Xu Nian had no way to deal with Luo Jin'an, who was always acting cute, so he had to shift his gaze, open the wooden box on the table and said, "This is the health-preserving ointment made for you. You must remember to eat it and don't ignore it when you are busy. I asked Mo Bai, and when you led people to attack Fengyang City, you didn't even eat on time, let alone take medicine..."
Luo Jinan stood aside, listening quietly and nodding obediently. He liked listening to Nian Nian nagging about him. Only then did he feel that he was the only one in Nian Nian's eyes.
The two of them only chatted in the study for half an hour, because there were many affairs in Fengyang City that needed to be resolved by Luo Jinan, and Xu Nian also had to prepare the things needed for Fengyang City tomorrow.
Luo Jinan reluctantly sent Xu Nian back to his residence. On the way, he said to Xu Nian with a guilty look on his face: "I'm afraid I can't take you out of the city tomorrow. I received a report that Liu Fei and Zheng Yan have already captured Baiyun City. I will leave for Baiyun City tonight."
Xu Nian said happily: "This is a happy event. When the news gets out, the city will be very lively."
Luo Jin'an also smiled and nodded. Although he did not agree with many of the late emperor's practices, he had to admit that the army the late emperor left for him could be called a group of tigers and wolves.
If it weren't for the fact that he controlled the Black Armored Army, Shengdu wouldn't have been so peaceful. After all, the news that the Duke of Wei's grandson died at his hands should have been passed back long ago.
Thinking of this, Luo Jin'an glanced at the person beside him with some uneasiness, and warned: "Nian Nian, don't let Mo Yu leave your side during this period of time, and try not to show up again."
He knew the Wen family. They were vengeful people. Even if they couldn't do anything to him now, there was no guarantee that they wouldn't take revenge on the people around him.
Xu Nian knew Luo Jinan’s concerns, and she would not joke about her own life either.
"Don't worry, I will stay in the Border Guard Mansion after I arrive in Yangcheng and won't go anywhere else, so you don't have to worry about me."
Luo Jinan held Xu Nian's hand and sighed in his heart. How could he not be worried? It seemed that after he arrived in Baiyun City, he wanted to let Mo Jian return to Nian Nian as soon as possible. At least with Mo Jian's methods, Nian Nian would not attract too much attention.
Xu Nian had no idea what Luo Jinan was thinking and thought that he was reluctant to be separated from her. After thinking for a while, she tiptoed and gave him a kiss on the face.
Luo Jin'an couldn't help but curl his lips as he watched the man who had run into the courtyard after kissing him. He finally understood the feeling of "the king will not attend the court early from now on". How could he not want to be with his Nian Nian all the time and ignore the disturbances in the court.
He lowered his head and touched the silk ribbon around his waist. This silk ribbon was woven for him by Xu Nian in Wansheng County. Whenever he saw it, he had infinite motivation. He would use all means to give Nian Nian a safe and peaceful life so that she would no longer have to experience the pain of running for her life.
Luo Jin'an turned around and went back to the study room holding the tassel in his hand. His goal had always been to avenge himself and leave the world without any regrets.
But now, he wanted to create a prosperous world for Xu Nian to live happily in it. If possible, he wanted to live longer and longer so that he could spend more time with her.
