Chapter 340 Is it possible that he is dead?
Li Bixi successfully invited Cheng Yunshuo to her room today.
She dressed up nicely tonight.
After noticing her aging appearance that day, she began emergency skin care.
She sold the money she had saved in her private vault over the past few years and the reward she had received from Cheng Yunshuo, and bought a large number of rare and exotic medicines. She then prepared skin care products herself, including large amounts of mercury, cinnabar, and lead.
She had been in the palace for many years and had learned nothing else, but she had memorized this unconventional method.
Of course, she knew in her heart that many of these things in the palace had side effects.
For example, in order to have a son, she gave birth to two children in two years and took fertility medicine continuously, which left her with many chronic diseases.
Her lower abdomen hurts terribly when she has her period. She never had uterine cold before, but now she has it. She is afraid that she will never be able to have children in the future.
This facial care product requires a large amount of mercury. Li Bixi has heard that mercury cannot be used too much as it is poisonous, but this product is very effective.
After she prepared the formula, she used it for just two days and could clearly feel that her skin had become whiter and smoother, and the obvious wrinkles and signs of aging were covered up.
God will not let down those who work hard. As expected, thanks to her hard work, when Cheng Yunshuo saw her at night, his eyes were brighter than before.
"Master." Li Bixiang went up to him tenderly and took Cheng Lanying from his arms.
Cheng Yunshuo looked at her, "How have you been these days?"
"Yeah." Li Bixiang lowered her eyes and nodded, pinching her daughter secretly.
Cheng Lanying immediately understood and said, "Dad, if you don't come, how can Aunt be well! She misses you so much every day, and she's afraid that you won't want her."
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Li Biying said coquettishly, put Cheng Lanying down, and scolded, "Your father is busy with official duties and has no time to come! You should be more considerate of your father!"
When Cheng Yunshuo heard this, he couldn't help feeling guilty because of Bixi's thoughtfulness.
How could he be busy with official duties? His job as a patrol officer in the forest army required him to go on duty every day, but there was no need to work hard there.
Now that he has become a small commander, he only needs to stay in the barracks and does not even need to patrol the palace gates and roads.
He had completely entered a phase of idling through his career, with no waves, no fatigue and no hope of promotion.
He felt extremely embarrassed when Li Bixi spoke to him so considerately.
Especially since he simply didn't want to see her...
"I will come here often in the future." Cheng Yunshuo couldn't help but say.
When Li Bixi heard this, her eyes immediately became full of affection, "My Lord, Bixi doesn't ask for those things, as long as you have me in your heart, that's enough."
Her eyes were burning, not like she was acting at all. Cheng Yunshuo only touched them for a moment and immediately turned his head away, "Okay, let's eat."
"good."
The meals on the table were all prepared by Li Bixi herself.
If you want to win a man's heart, there is no other way but to win his stomach.
The table was filled with delicious food, and with Cheng Lanying around, Bishuiyuan seemed to have returned to its former glory.
The three of them were chatting and laughing happily.
After dinner, Cheng Yunshuo played with Cheng Lanying for a while. As it got dark, Li Bixiang winked at her and Cheng Lanying left reluctantly.
"Dad, I remember you'll be home tomorrow morning, right?"
"Um."
"Then can you accompany me to release paper birds again tomorrow?" Cheng Lanying said coquettishly while lying on Cheng Yunshuo's legs.
"Okay." Cheng Yunshuo agreed immediately.
Li Bixi then took Cheng Lanying away without leaving any trace, "You only know how to annoy your father!"
"It's because my dad loves me." Cheng Lanying said as usual, but her tone was not as proud and confident as before.
"Okay, go back to bed."
"Yes." Cheng Lanying looked at Cheng Yunshuo, "Dad, I'll come again tomorrow."
"Go ahead." Cheng Yunshuo smiled at her.
After driving Cheng Lanying out, Li Bixiang stepped forward and helped Cheng Yunshuo undress.
"My Lord, I have asked the maids to prepare some water. You are tired after a day's work. Would you like to soak your feet or your body?"
Behind the screen in the inner room, the air was filled with mist, and Li Bixi's eyes were also stretched at this moment, like delicate and fragrant flowers, waiting for Cheng Yunshuo to pick them.
As soon as Cheng Yunshuo lowered his head, he saw such a beautiful and charming beauty. Her appearance and complexion had returned to their previous state, and she even looked a little fairer than a few years ago. She was very similar to the person in his memory.
But.
"I'm tired today. I'll rest first. You should also rest early."
Cheng Yunshuo pushed away the expectant Li Bixi and went back to the couch, where he slept with his back to her in his undershirt.
No interest.
Li Bixi, who had been preparing for a long time, looked gloomy when she saw this scene.
She gritted her teeth to hold back her anger, and stood there looking at the man lying on the bed like a wooden man. She thought to herself, could it be that the medicine she had been feeding him over the years had made him mute?
What on earth happened to Cheng Yunshuo?
If he only disliked her because of her old age and fading beauty, her appearance and complexion have improved now, so why is he still so cold to her!
Is he really not able to do it anymore?
The next day, Lu Lingyun was in the yard, "The prince is taking a day off today, right?"
"right."
"Please invite the prince over." Lu Lingyun raised the teacup.
Shuanghong was about to agree when Cheng Siying said, "Mom, I'll go too."
Lu Lingyun glanced at her and said with a smile, "Go ahead."
Cheng Suying's attitude towards Cheng Yunshuo has changed a lot since he spoke up for her during the last food incompatibility incident.
But Cheng Yunshuo seldom came to their place, and Cheng Suying had never seen him for ten days or half a month.
When she heard that Lu Lingyun was going to invite him over, she stepped forward to go find him.
That father of hers...maybe not as bad as she thought.
Cheng Suying went out with Shuanghong.
"Is Daddy at Aunt Qiu's place?" Cheng Suying asked on the way.
She also knew these days that her father often went to Qiu Ling's place.
Cheng Yunshuo's decision not to go to Li Bijie's courtyard is a plus for Cheng Suying, which can increase her favorability towards him.
"I should have gone to Aunt Li's place yesterday." Shuanghong said.
"Hmm?" Cheng Suying frowned immediately, "Hasn't he always been with Aunt Qiu?"
Shuang Hong said calmly, "Yesterday, the prince was supposed to go to Aunt Qiu's place, but on the way, the second lady invited him to Bishui Garden."
When Cheng Suying heard this, she immediately became angry.
Cheng Lanying, Cheng Lanying, she knew that Cheng Lanying was the most scheming and manipulative person.
She has been a bad student all day long, and has only learned how to compete for favors and people from her aunt.
When she was feeling angry, she saw a paper oriole flying over the small garden in front of her.
A girl's laughter came from inside.
"Daddy, Daddy, let me play."
She followed the sound and saw Cheng Yunshuo playing with Cheng Lanying again.
