Su Yujiao glared at him fiercely. Lu Ziqian knew he had said the wrong thing, so he flashed her a bright white smile, looking loyal and innocent.
The camp was quiet for a while. Lu Ziqian didn't like the atmosphere and kept looking for an opportunity to talk to her.
“You all go out and do your work. So many people are crammed in here, it stinks.”
"yes."
All the people in the camp who were grinding medicine went out with their tools.
Su Yujiao was about to leave when he grabbed her and made her sit on his lap: "Who said you could leave!"
“Lu Ziqian, I’m warning you, if you dare to do anything reckless in broad daylight, believe me, I’ll turn you into a eunuch.”
Looking at her cute yet fierce expression, the man reached out and took the finger she was pointing at, wrapping her fair, cold little hand in his rough, dry hand to warm it.
"No, no, I wouldn't dare."
"I wasn't thinking about that kind of thing."
"But you, thinking about it in broad daylight, you're getting harder and harder to satisfy."
"Shut up."
He held her in his arms, inhaling her sweet fragrance, and asked with a muffled groan, "Jiaojiao, are you happy?"
Su Yujiao struggled, annoyed: "What's there for me to be happy about?"
"Chen Yunniang is gone, she will never bother me again."
"We can finally live a good life now."
"I am very happy and relaxed today."
“I don’t want to get entangled with her at all, but somehow, as if it were arranged by fate, no matter what I do or where I go, I run into her.”
He rested his chin on her shoulder, his voice low and muffled, as if he were expressing his grievances.
Su Yu laughed coquettishly: "Are you feeling wronged?"
"If you're ruthless enough to cut ties with her, how could she possibly cling to you?"
Lu Ziqian hugged her even tighter, his voice still deep but with a strange sense of ease.
"You don't understand, sometimes it's really strange, like you can't get rid of it."
"I feel so relieved that she's gone. There's no one standing between us anymore."
"Jiaojiao, I will make you happy, I have confidence."
"I know I have a short temper, but I will definitely change. Please give me some time."
"How about this, you poison me a little, and next time I lose my temper with you, you won't give me the antidote, making me wish I were dead, so that you can really wear down my bad temper."
Su Yujiao pouted: "Would poison even work?"
“When you’re angry, you become ruthless and heartless. I’m afraid that you’ll strangle me with your own hands in order to force me to hand over the antidote.”
"I wouldn't, how could I bear to?"
"Ha, when have you ever been reluctant to part with it?"
"You still suspect that I poisoned my own child in order to frame Chen Yunniang."
"Don't mention her." The man frowned, as if he were disgusted.
"I'm serious, give me some poison, preferably one that will make me lose my strength and martial arts skills, and make me suffer excruciating pain when it takes effect."
"If you do it a couple more times, I'll listen to you."
"Actually, I've been reflecting on myself these past few days and have thought about a lot of things."
"I have a short temper, but I'm sure I can change it."
Are you so sure?
Lu Ziqian said earnestly, "Think about it, why wouldn't I dare to yell at the Emperor?"
"Why am I not so short-tempered when I'm facing the Emperor?"
"That's because the Emperor has the power of life and death over me, and I have a sense of awe and respect for the Emperor."
Therefore, I dare not be presumptuous in front of him.
"This shows that I can control my temper, and it depends on the person."
"I lose my temper with you simply because I think you are weaker than me. Even if I lose my temper with you, you won't do anything to me, and I won't have to bear any consequences."
"So you can use your advantages to control my temper, such as poisoning me."
Su Yujiao watched him analyze himself so deeply and seemed to be thinking about it. It wouldn't be bad if one day she became powerful enough to make him kneel down and sing "Conquer".
However, that seems unlikely. After all, this is a patriarchal society, so it would be better to just get a divorce.
"You're making me sound like a supernatural being. Where would I get that kind of poison?"
"You think making poison is as simple as cooking?"
"You can even cure smallpox, so how come you can't produce poison?"
"That's drawing on the experience of those who came before."
Smallpox and malaria are both plagues that have been conquered in later generations; if it were another disease, she would be helpless.
As for poison, it is not lethal, but can still control people.
There's only that kind of poison left; she wouldn't be so shameless as to touch something like that.
"Alright, let's not talk about these trivial matters. Let's figure out how to win this battle first, otherwise how will you explain it to the Emperor when you go back?"
"As for what you said, I'll pretend you never said it."
"When they're happy, they'll say all sorts of nice things."
"When they're unhappy, their words become more and more vicious."
"You'll never change that in your lifetime."
"Unless I become stronger than you, making you fear me and willingly submit, you will not truly restrain yourself."
"Go out quickly, I have other things to do. So many patients are waiting for the antidote to save their lives."
Southern Frontier Kingdom!
Chen Yunniang tentatively asked, "Why did the Crown Prince of the South choose me as the Holy Maiden?"
Nan Sheng looked at her with a smile, her voice gentle and pleasant: "You were chosen by the gods!"
"Who is the Heavenly God?"
Nan Sheng pointed to the sky.
"You mean the gods and immortals in heaven?"
"How did the gods choose me?"
“Wizards can communicate with the gods.”
Chen Yunniang then asked, "What does a Holy Maiden do?"
"Or rather, what am I required to do as this saintess?"
