For ordinary soldiers, the biggest difference between cloth armor and light but sturdy bare armor is that they can wear military uniforms as usual under the bare armor, while under the thick and rough cloth armor they can only wear breathable inner clothes. Wearing more than that will make it difficult to move and fight.
A set of armor alone costs nearly a thousand taels. It can withstand arrows from a hundred steps away and defend against swords at close range. It takes a quarter of an hour to put on and take off a complete set.
A set of cloth armor costs thirty-seven taels and six cents. It does not keep out the heat in summer or the cold in winter, and it cannot even block the burning gaze in front of you. However, it only takes a moment to put on and take off.
His mind was in a mess, and the heat spread up Xiao Nanhui's back. In just a short moment, sweat soaked his inner clothes.
"Your Majesty, your Majesty is afraid of the cold..."
Her voice was as thin as a mosquito's, and if it was any softer it would be blown away by the wind.
After a long time, the voice finally sounded slowly.
"Whatever."
Xiao Nanhui breathed a sigh of relief, but he didn't dare to be careless again.
She looked up and suddenly found a purple-glazed porcelain bowl on the small table in front of him. The bowl was filled with some medicine, which looked to be cold.
Xiao Nan was grateful for his observation skills in this moment of urgency. He said quickly, "This medicine seems to be cold. I'll ask someone to heat it up."
After saying that, she was about to go forward and pick up the bowl of medicine.
The hand was only half extended when the other party's unhurried voice sounded.
"This medicine needs to be cooled down. Besides... there's no one else here, so why bother?"
Her hands froze awkwardly in mid-air, not knowing whether to move forward or backward.
"Then Your Majesty, please take the medicine. I will take my leave first..."
Before she could finish her words, Su Wei's fingers loosened and the porcelain spoon in his hand fell into the bowl.
"My right hand is inconvenient."
What does this mean? Is he asking her to come forward and serve him?
Xiao Nanhui stared at the porcelain white spoon, his teeth itching with hatred.
The man opposite seemed oblivious: "What? Can't you serve others? I heard that Qing Huaihou's adopted daughter is the most capable. Every time Qing Huaihou was injured in the battlefield, it was Xiao Yingwei who helped take care of him."
Xiao Nanhui suppressed the veins on his forehead and said expressionlessly, "My foster father has always been strict in military discipline and has always set an example himself. During the march, his rest and treatment were no different from those of ordinary soldiers. He treated his injuries just like any other soldier."
"Oh?" Su Wei's eyes suddenly lit up, and his voice was tinged with a hint of interest. "Are you serious?"
Xiao Nanhui could barely control the sneer on his face: "Seriously?"
The man seemed to be in a better mood suddenly. He picked up the spoon with his left hand and finally stopped bothering her.
Xiao Nanhui just breathed a sigh of relief, but saw the man stretched out his right hand in front of her.
"My hand was injured because of you. If you still have some desire to atone for your sins, I won't mind your crude skills."
Wasn't what happened in the palace her own fault? How did it end up being her fault?
Xiao Nanhui felt a tightness in his chest and abdomen. He glanced at the fair hand of the instigator. The hand looked even whiter than the white porcelain spoon, and it even exuded a sense of innocence.
But if you use a knife to cut open that pure white, you will find that the bones and blood inside are all black.
Grabbing the medicine placed aside, Xiao Nan made up his mind, stepped forward and knelt in front of the small table.
"Your Majesty, your body is worth a ton of gold. Please don't blame me for my clumsy hands and feet."
Humph, since you are thick-skinned and black-hearted, don't blame me for being ruthless.
She didn't know where she got the courage from, but she had the urge to "take revenge". She tore the cloth off the man's hand in a few seconds and was about to cast a spell roughly, but she stopped when her eyes stopped at the wound.
A few days passed, and the scarlet wound in the memory did not heal despite the nourishment of the top-grade medicine. Instead, it looked even more hideous and terrifying, as if something terrible was about to break out from under the fair skin.
As if sensing that she had not moved for a long time, Su Wei slowly raised his eyes.
"What? Are you scared?"
She had fought for years, suffered countless wounds, and witnessed hundreds, if not tens of millions, of bloody scenes. Swords and spears were merciless, leaving the skin and flesh ripped open at the least, and the intestines ripped open at the worst. A mere knife wound on the palm of her hand was nothing compared to that.
But she found it glaring and couldn't bear to look at it for even one more moment.
That hand, slender and white, with well-proportioned bones and flesh, would look stunning whether holding a pen or playing the zither. It should have been a place far away from the flash of swords and the hardships of life. But now, it has been completely destroyed and can no longer be complete.
The corner of her eye twitched, and she didn't want to look any closer, but the scar seemed to be engraved on the bottom of her eye, indelible. Even with just a glance, she noticed a trace of an old injury beneath the wound.
That was the mark left after gripping the string hard.
"You won't hear the words of the bridge, so you can laugh at me and say that the history books are too exaggerated and that I am just a name for nothing."
He was really malicious. He knew that this was the reason why she felt guilty, but he still wanted to tell her everything and make her feel guilty and embarrassed.
Xiao Nanhui's deep frustration turned into grievance. She was clearly the one who had the most miserable fate, so why did she now act as if she had wronged him?
"I dare not."
The man snorted coldly, "Why wouldn't you dare? I think you're quite courageous. You were quite imposing when you were about to administer the poison just now."
His intentions were exposed, and "Xiao Dadan" became even more dejected, even his movements became slower.
"I used to be rough when bandaging myself, and I didn't know how to handle it properly. Your Majesty said you won't blame me."
"Each camp in Tiancheng is equipped with a military doctor. If you're not very agile, you can just find someone to do it for you. Why torture yourself?"
Xiao Nanhui curled his lips, feeling a little disgusted with the Emperor who was ignorant of the sufferings of the world.
