"Master said this is a miraculous medicine that is very good for physical recovery. Aunt Liang remembers taking it three times a day."
Inside the palace, Consort Liang hosted a banquet for everyone to thank them for their help to Ying Liu. Little Hu Hai presented a jade box.
His return this time was not only to visit Consort Liang, but more importantly, to bring her medicine, which was a real help.
Consort Liang looked at Little Hu Hai with great gratitude, "Little Hu Hai is so kind. Please thank your master for me."
Xiao Huhai said respectfully, "Aunt Liang, there's no need to be so polite. I will convey your wishes to Master. Since Aunt Liang is alright, I should go back now. I cannot neglect my cultivation."
Seeing his haste, Consort Liang was taken aback. "There's no need to rush back. At least have your meal first."
Xiao Huhai's gaze was firm: "Cultivation cannot be neglected."
How can I protect my younger brother and mother if I'm not strong enough?
Consort Liang stood up. "Wait, thanking your master can't just be words. Could you take a gift back for me?"
Little Hu Hai waved his hand, "No need, Aunt Liang. Master has no interest in these worldly things. He only drinks wine on weekdays."
Consort Liang was taken aback. "Wine?"
After thinking for a moment, she called out, "Liu'er!"
Liu'er immediately stepped forward, "This servant is here!"
Consort Liang instructed, "Buy one hundred wineries and give them to Master Xiao Hai."
Liu'er's expression remained calm. "Yes!"
She had long since become numb to Consort Liang's ways.
From initial shock to later understanding, then to numbness, and now to having no concept of money at all.
This is what happens when you stay in a family where you can never spend all your money.
Ying Zheng and Consort Shu exchanged a glance, their expressions quite complex.
Ying Zheng, in particular, felt a pang of unease.
I am the emperor, the ruler of this world, but why do I seem so petty compared to Consort Liang?
Xiao Huhai was startled, "One hundred seats?"
Good heavens, he couldn't even imagine how many wineries and how much wine they had.
With so much wine, let alone drinking it, you could soak Master in it for decades.
Seeing that Xiao Huhai was hesitant, Consort Liang added, "It's just a small token of my appreciation. I would feel bad if you refused."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Huhai hesitated for a moment, but had no choice but to agree, "Then I will thank Aunt Liang on behalf of my master."
After Xiao Huhai left, the little guy tugged at Consort Shu and said, "Mother, can I go out for a bit?"
Consort Shu was somewhat shocked. "You're going out?"
This kid usually can't resist food, but now that it's almost time to eat, he's actually going out on his own.
The little guy replied, "I'll go see Old Man Xiao."
To be honest, he got injured because of me and Sixth Brother, so we can't just stand by and do nothing.
Consort Shu looked at the table full of delicious food. "Are you sure you don't want to eat and want to go out?"
The little guy declared righteously, "Am I the kind of person who can't resist food?"
As he spoke, he reached up and wiped his mouth.
Consort Shu then noticed that there were still tiny bits of flesh left at the corner of the little one's mouth.
I'm already full, I can't eat anymore.
Consort Shu was taken aback.
You little rascal, stealing food again?
But when did you steal the food? How come I didn't notice at all?
After thinking for a moment, she put the little one down on the ground. "Go on."
Firstly, what the little guy said is indeed correct; Xiaoyao was injured because of them and was indeed unable to handle the situation.
Secondly, the little guy is very cunning; even if you don't let him go, he'll definitely sneak out.
Now that he can still proactively report and ask Consort Shu for permission, Consort Shu is already very gratified.
······
Inside the hall, Xiaoyao was sitting cross-legged on a futon, his eyes closed and his brows furrowed.
Although he has recovered somewhat over the past few days, the depletion of his cultivation has always damaged his very essence, and whether he can fully recover remains to be seen.
Just then, the door was suddenly pushed open, and the little guy poked his head in. "Oh, asleep?"
Hearing the voice, Xiaoyao guessed that it was the young master. Without opening his eyes, he said calmly, "The chicken leg is on the offering table. Please help yourself, young master."
Master will agree.
After all, he probably didn't want to be exorcised for death because of a chicken leg.
The little guy walked in, closed the door, and said, "I didn't come here to eat. What do you take me for?"
He glanced at the chicken leg on the altar, smacked his lips, patted his round belly, and finally gave up the idea of eating the chicken leg.
I really can't eat anymore.
Xiaoyao was taken aback. "You didn't come here for chicken legs? Then why did you come, young master?"
The only time the little guy came over on his own initiative was to steal a chicken leg, which shows his foodie nature.
Xiaoyao couldn't think of any other reason why he came on his own initiative this time.
The little guy looked at him and said, "I've come to give you a thank-you gift."
Xiaoyao opened her eyes, looking at him with considerable confusion. "A thank-you gift?"
The little guy opened his palm, and a candied hawthorn appeared. "Here, eat it."
Xiaoyao was taken aback for a moment, then replied, "I don't like sweets, and at my age, it's not suitable for me to eat such things."
The little guy looked at him and said, "This one is different. It's especially suitable for you. Try it."
Seeing the little guy's determined look, Xiaoyao hesitated for a moment, but still took the candied hawthorn and put it in his mouth.
After chewing twice and swallowing, his expression changed slightly.
He felt a surge of power spreading through his body, quickly coursing through his entire being, the warmth cleansing his marrow and flesh, giving him a jolt of energy.
Xiaoyao could clearly feel his injuries healing, and even his cultivation was increasing, making him much stronger than before he suffered the loss.
This candied hawthorn is truly a divine treat!
