Chapter 71: Sitting and Drinking Tea
Fu Mo was afraid that this perverted master and servant would say even more perverted words, so he didn't dare to speak again.
He hurriedly opened the door: "The prince is inside."
"Please come in, Lord Shen."
Shen Tingsi walked in.
Tea is boiling in a red stove, and the billowing tea smoke fills the room with fragrance.
Seeing Shen Tingsi coming, Yu Lingye casually pointed to the seat opposite: "Sit."
Shen Tingsi sat down opposite him.
Yu Lingye scooped him a cup of tea: "Your favorite Yunshan Yuhua tea."
Shen Tingsi smelled the familiar tea fragrance and narrowed his eyes: "You called me here just to treat me to tea?"
Yu Lingye: "Of course not."
"And this."
He pushed a small plate of chiffon cake in front of Shen Tingsi.
"Try the leftovers."
Chen Tingsi:?
How can you give him the leftovers?
"It's a very special dessert." Yu Lingye said, "The princess made it herself."
"A chiffon cake was divided into eight pieces. I left three for you, two for Xiaokui, and one for you."
There were originally four pieces, but Xie Yingmian ate one, leaving three.
Xiaokui was very happy.
He grabbed two pieces directly.
The chiffon cake has already cooled down completely, but it does not affect its soft, sweet taste.
Xiao Kui took a bite, and her round eyes widened and sparkled: "Wow, it's delicious, it's different from the snacks we usually eat."
"Sir, this dessert is sweet but not greasy, it will definitely suit your taste."
Xiao Kui finished eating her two pieces, picked up the last piece with a clean handkerchief, and put it to Shen Tingsi's mouth: "Try it quickly."
Shen Tingsi took a bite reluctantly.
He raised his eyebrows.
Xiaokui said the food was delicious, and it tasted really good.
He finished a whole piece of chiffon cake and drank a cup of tea.
"Not bad." Shen Tingsi gave his evaluation.
Xiaokui was surprised.
Ever since the adult lost his arms, his appetite has become much smaller, and he can only eat a few bites of food, no matter how delicious it is.
The imperial physician said that this was anorexia caused by qi stagnation in the chest and poor qi flow.
I took a lot of medicine but it didn't work.
Seeing that the adults were getting thinner and thinner, he tried his best to find delicious food for them.
But unless adults are extremely hungry, they won’t even look at those delicious foods.
Even if they are extremely hungry, adults will either eat a bite or not eat a bite.
It's been a long time since I've eaten a whole piece in one go.
Xiaokui was extremely surprised.
"That's great! Your Excellency ate a whole dessert."
"Your Majesty, you don't even know how difficult it is to serve the Lord."
"In order to get you to eat more, I ran all over Shangjing, searching for fresh food. It's a surprise that you could even have a bite, but it's unbelievable that you could finish a whole piece."
"Where is the princess? I want to give her a thank you gift."
Yu Lingye said, "The princess is resting."
Xiao Kui nodded understandingly: "Okay, then I'll go find the princess when she wakes up."
Yu Lingye: "Go play with Fu Mo, I have something to discuss with your master."
Xiao Kui looked at Shen Tingsi.
Shen Tingsi nodded.
"I haven't seen Brother Fu Mo for a long time. I thought he was dead. I was planning to save up money to buy him a better coffin." Xiao Kui jumped out.
The vein on Yu Lingye's forehead jumped: "Are you sure you want to educate Xiaokui this way?"
Shen Tingsi: "What's wrong?"
"Xiao Kui is just a child after all."
"You're the only one who treats him like a child." Shen Tingsi gave Yu Lingye a deep look: "When did he wake up?"
Yu Lingye laughed and said, "I can't hide it from you."
"I woke up on my wedding night. The situation is quite complicated and I can't explain it clearly right now."
Shen Tingsi said: "You don't plan to hide it anymore?"
Yu Lingye: "When the enemy comes, we will fight back with our soldiers. When the water comes, we will block it with earth. There is no point in hiding it all the time. I have been lying down for half a year. I have had enough."
Shen Tingsi did not respond.
He sat opposite Yu Lingye.
The tea smoke is curling up.
In the mist of smoke, the expressions of him and Yu Lingye were not clear.
"I already know about Diao Yu, the Palace Master of Jueming Palace." Chen Tingsi said, "I have also arranged for the person who killed Diao Yu. No one will find out about her."
Yu Lingye said, "Thank you."
Shen Tingsi was stunned.
He seemed to have not expected to hear these two words from Yu Lingye's mouth.
Shen Tingsi looked at Yu Lingye and said in a faint voice: "You have changed."
Yu Lingye smiled and said, "Indeed."
Shen Tingsi: “Very good.”
Yu Lingye asked, "Still can't eat?"
Shen Tingsi lowered his eyes: "It's an old problem for many years, I'm used to it, it's not a big deal, people will be more sober if they eat less."
Yu Lingye added: "And he'll become more irritable."
Shen Tingsi sneered: "I never thought that I would hear this word from your mouth."
Yu Lingye drank a cup of tea.
He put down the empty teacup and looked at Shen Tingsi steadily: “Why don’t you ask me why I asked you to come here?”
Shen Tingsi said: "If I don't ask, you won't tell me?"
Yu Lingye: "I have this plan."
"Then let me ask." Shen Tingsi said, "What do you want me to do?"
Yu Lingye: "I'll treat you to some chiffon cake."
Shen Tingsi didn't seem to expect this answer.
He laughed.
His laughter was not hearty, and even when he did laugh, it was dull and suppressed.
"I like it very much." Shen Tingsi stood up, "Next time you have it, save it for Xiaokui and me."
"You're leaving?"
"I've finished the chiffon cake."
"I still have Yuhua tea."
"I don't have hands. I don't want you to feed me. It's disgusting." Shen Tingsi turned around and said, "Goodbye."
Yu Lingye poured himself another cup of tea.
He said in a deep voice: "I found a way to reconnect the broken arm."
"Are you sure you don't want to stay and listen?"
Shen Tingsi's body trembled.
He turned around and looked at Yu Lingye.
Yu Lingye: "Would you like to listen?"
Shen Tingsi sat down casually: "Is this why you asked me to come here?"
Yu Lingye: "No, I told you before, I'm inviting you to eat chiffon cake, and I'm just telling you the method of reattaching a broken arm. If you're willing to listen, I'll tell you, if you're not willing, forget it."
Chen Tingsi looked at Yu Lingye.
Yu Lingye picked up the teacup and drank tea leisurely.
Chen Tingsi looked at Yu Lingye's calm eyes and chuckled, "Ever since I lost my arm, no one dared to mention it casually, for fear of being affected."
"Only you...that's all. Tell me."
Yu Lingye said: "Maybe it's a bit long."
Shen Tingsi: “I’ll try to be patient.”
Yu Lingye saved Xie Yingmian from death on his wedding night.
Xie Yingmian controlled the Du'e Gu and discovered the Fire Crystal Butterfly Scale Powder. Xie Yingmian successfully removed the Silk-binding Poison from Fu Mo and Fu Feng, and told Shen Tingsi all about his suspicion that Xie Yingmian was the disciple of the Gu Saint.
"That's exactly what happened," Yu Lingye said. "The princess said that after the poison is removed, the silk will only have one function left: it can reconnect broken arms."
"If it's freshly disconnected, it can be easily reconnected."
"For someone like you who's had a broken arm for three years, you need to first recover, find a suitable arm, re-cut the broken end, and then use silk to splice the two together."
Shen Tingsi lowered his eyes, his face hidden in the shadows, and his expression could not be seen.
Yu Lingye had said everything he needed to say.
As for what choice Shen Tingsi makes, he respects it.
