Something fell down.
Di Jingling could see clearly that this was a strange garment with very little fabric, or perhaps more like a blouse.
Xiao Tang picked up the Urban Beauty dress, her face full of black lines.
She checked the tags; they were still there!
What the heck is this?!
[Host, this is a gift from the system, but it's an ancient item from the 21st century. I believe you'll like it.]
Xiao Tang was too embarrassed to explain this thing to Di Jingling.
She quickly threw the things away.
"Hehe, I wonder who's so immoral as to litter like that, they should be punished!"
The man glanced at the things on the ground and remained silent.
He could tell that it was something he was wearing.
but……
If his wife were to wear this, he would lock her up, even if it meant locking her up, and he would never let her go out like that.
...
After the second task was completed, the system did not immediately assign a third task.
In the following days, Di Jingling began to leave early and return late again.
The affairs of the court seemed very complicated, and her opportunities to see him became increasingly rare.
Five days later, she sent Ruyi and Yanshi to search everywhere for news about the retrieval of the body.
However, when Ruyi returned, she frowned and said, "Your Highness, it seems there are no bodies among them. They must have been rescued."
Ruyi has never neglected intelligence gathering.
Xiao Tang was not surprised by the result.
However, she felt it was a huge loss to let them get away so easily.
Judging from Xiao Rourou's appearance, she probably wouldn't live more than half a year if she wasn't kept alive by the Gu medicine.
It all depends on how sincere Di Yanhen is towards Xiao Rourou.
If we absolutely must cure Xiao Rourou from the Gu poison, then we must use every possible means to find a way to cure it.
If... a heartless man were to possess you, then things might be different.
Xiao Tang touched his chin, lost in thought.
"Any news from northern Xinjiang?"
Yan Shi said, "It is said that Marquis Dingbei has returned to his residence, and the Emperor of the Northern Frontier is overjoyed. Moreover, Emperor Yanhen has disappeared, and the military power tiger tally has been returned to Marquis Dingbei."
Things are progressing too smoothly...
Xiao Tang slowly leaned back in her chair.
"So, in that case, Ning Cang didn't need to expend a single soldier to take back what he had?"
"Yes, Your Highness, you are so wise!"
Xiao Tang glared at him speechlessly.
It's best not to flatter like that.
She is quite aware of her own limitations.
Di Yanhen's attempt to steal a chicken only resulted in him losing the rice instead; he deserved it.
"Did that person come back?"
"The subordinates have returned."
"Alright, you may leave now." Xiao Tang looked up at the sky above the courtyard.
How quickly we've come into this world; autumn is already over in the blink of an eye.
And the dog system!!! Why hasn't it issued a third task yet!!!
She was about to lose control of her temper.
[Host, the third mission has been delivered~]
[So you've been keeping quiet for so long because you're secretly plotting how to torture me, right?]
[No... no, host. We are one. Torturing you is torturing myself.]
[Ugh—don't say such disgusting things.]
[Host, your third task is to live with the main villain.]
Huh? He and I are living together now!
[No, no, no, it's not what it sounds like literally! Keep it up, host, do a great job!]
Not the literal meaning...?
These words could easily have led her to misinterpret them.
That night.
When Di Jingling returned to the room, he found that Xiao Tang was not asleep as usual.
"Why aren't you asleep yet?"
He asked softly and gently.
However, out of the corner of his eye, he also noticed a bowl of dark, murky herbal soup placed on the table.
I don't know what kind of herbal soup it is, but it doesn't smell good to drink.
Xiao Tang stood up to greet him, her walk graceful and elegant.
"My husband, you're back!"
"I haven't seen you for quite some time now. Today I've prepared a super nourishing tonic for you. Would you like to try it?"
[Sigh, it's because you've been working so hard dealing with court affairs lately. This tonic is definitely very nourishing!]
[The kind of supplement that makes your nose bleed.]
As she spoke, she had already placed the bowl of medicine in front of him.
However, Di Jingling turned her head away with a hint of disdain.
"What is this? It smells awful."
Not to mention that he himself found the smell unpleasant, Xiao Tang herself also found it particularly unpleasant.
But this tonic is a good thing!
She spent a lot of money collecting these from various pharmacies, just so she could help him recover.
As for the system's suggestion about cohabitation, she felt it could be put on hold for a while.
Meeting the woman's expectant gaze, he paused for a moment, then suddenly asked, "Won't it cause a nosebleed?"
"Huh? Then you drink half a bowl, and I'll drink the other half."
These are medicinal herbs worth tens of thousands of taels of silver each; I collected these precious herbs from all over the capital.
Drinking too much can lead to over-nourishment; moderation is key.
She had barely finished speaking when she saw him pick up the bowl and gulp it down!
She looked at him with a bit of surprise.
"You... finished drinking?"
"Um."
Just as Xiao Tang was about to offer him compensation, she felt a warmth on her lips, and a bitter taste of medicine was swallowed unconsciously down her throat...?
Xiao Tang touched her neck and looked at him with a puzzled expression.
"Drink it, then go to bed."
Xiao Tang was stunned, her expression blank as she stared at the man's retreating figure...
She touched the tip of her nose.
This medicine smells bad, but it doesn't actually taste too bad when you actually swallow it.
