"Get out of here!" Nonghua shouted gruffly.
Shuxiang was startled and quickly staggered away.
She slammed the door shut.
Then, he jogged over to Fusang.
"Your Majesty, are we really going to send her away?"
Fu Sang nodded slightly and said, "Keeping someone like that around will only bring trouble."
After saying that, he coughed twice.
The original owner was probably sick; her throat was uncontrollably itchy.
Nonghua let out a sob.
"Your Majesty, it's all my fault. I failed to take good care of you."
Fu Sang reached out and patted the girl's head.
"It's not your fault."
Nonghua paused for a moment, then blushed.
Your Majesty is so gentle.
Fu Sang rubbed his tummy and asked, "Is there anything to eat?"
Nonghua ran to the cabinet and took out a small bowl containing a bowl of unidentifiable pickled vegetables and two shriveled steamed buns.
"Your Majesty...this is all we have..."
With tears welling in her eyes, she said, "These days, the eunuchs have only been sending these things to the Cold Palace."
"..."
Steamed buns and pickled vegetables.
This treatment...
Fu Sang felt a little dizzy and said, "I think I'll go back to bed and get some sleep."
"Your Majesty," Nonghua said, choking back tears, "Please rest first, I'll think of something else."
Fu Sang nodded, climbed into bed, and snuggled under the covers.
I don't know how much time passed.
"Your Majesty..."
A girl's voice came from beside me.
Fu Sang opened his eyes groggily.
Nuohua helped her up, propped her up with a pillow, and let her lean against the headboard.
Fu Sang smelled a Chinese herbal medicine aroma.
Nonghua placed a bowl of dark, murky medicine in front of her.
"Your Majesty, please drink your medicine. You'll feel better after you drink it..."
Fu Sang frowned slightly, leaned over, and took a small sip.
Then, her beautiful little face instantly wrinkled up.
Seeing this, Nonghua wanted to laugh but dared not.
Fusang wanted to spit out the medicine.
Nonghua quickly said, "Your Highness, this medicine was obtained by me with my retirement savings. Please don't waste it."
Fu Sang paused slightly, then swallowed it in one gulp.
The medicine tasted bitter and made my tongue feel numb.
"Your Highness, drink it quickly." Nonghua couldn't help but coax, "Just drink it all in one gulp."
Fu Sang frowned and gulped down the drink.
After drinking it...
It felt like my taste buds had lost all sensation.
I never want to drink Chinese medicine again in my life.
Nonghua used a handkerchief to wipe the corner of her mouth and helped her lie down in bed.
"Your Majesty, please take a nap. You'll feel better when you wake up."
Fu Sang closed his eyes wearily and fell into a deep sleep.
The next day.
Sunlight streamed through the dilapidated windows into the room, adding a touch of warmth to the desolate environment.
Fu Sang slowly opened his eyes.
This time, my mind was much clearer and more comfortable than before.
I heard soft breathing nearby.
Fu Sang sat up and looked at the girl who was sleeping by the bedside.
Nonghua was only about sixteen years old. She was pretty, but her hands were covered with calluses from working all the time.
Without waking the girl, Fusang quietly got out of bed, picked her up, placed her on the bed, and covered her with a blanket.
I just stepped out of the room for some fresh air.
The system's voice came through.
[My adorable host, please receive your storyline and mission.]
"OK."
Fu Sang stood under the only peach tree in the courtyard, which was in full bloom.
The memory was transmitted to my mind in an instant.
Fu Sang stood under the tree, sorting through his memories.
This world is an ancient, fictional world, mainly about palace intrigue and political struggles.
The pseudo-lucky darling of the world is the female protagonist, Su Ruxue.
Su Ruxue was the illegitimate daughter of the Grand Commandant. In order to avoid being married off to a dissolute young man by her father, she attracted the attention of the Regent.
The Regent is the male protagonist of this world—Puyang Ye.
