Chapter 8: Hysteria is delicious
Su Yunyao's tone changed.
"Let's leave this matter at that. General Huo, please pretend you didn't hear what I said. I will also pretend I didn't say anything. It's getting late, and I will return home to rest."
After she finished speaking, she yawned, covered her mouth with one hand, and squinted her eyes as she glanced at Huo Xiao who was kneeling on the ground.
Just as Su Yunyao was about to turn around, her arm close to Huo Xiao was grabbed, "Princess!"
She paused, taking a step back with an irrepressible smile on her lips. "We haven't gone far yet, General Huo, why are you shouting so loudly?"
Huo Xiao said in a deep voice: "If the princess can help me find the spices that can save my brother, I promise you."
He didn't understand why the princess made such a request.
Even though he did not agree to the emperor's proposal in Xuanzheng Hall that day.
The princess felt humiliated.
You can beat him, or you can ask the emperor to exile him to a cold and bitter place.
Why did she want him to go to Tangquan Palace with her to bathe?
What exactly is the eldest princess planning?
Huo Xiao couldn't understand.
But no matter what, since the princess said she could help him find that spice, he had to give it a try.
Besides...
Even the imperial physician couldn't find it, so he didn't believe in his heart that the princess could find it.
After all, this eldest princess is uneducated and all her thoughts are on Shen Qiu Nian. This has long been no secret in Daxia.
But if they don't agree, Daxia will have nothing else except the box in Concubine Shu's hand.
The box of spices in Concubine Shu's hand was more than three years old and might have been used up long ago.
No matter what, he had to give it a try for his elder brother.
If he didn't try, his elder brother might never wake up in this life.
He must wake up his elder brother.
Because he knew that his eldest brother hadn't done what he wanted to do yet...
Su Yunyao looked at him, his expression ready to die, and curled her lips slightly. "How come General Huo doesn't think I'm playing tricks on you now?"
Huo Xiao's eyes were dark and unclear, and he remained motionless as he said, "I refused to marry the princess. I was wrong. I am willing to accept the princess's punishment, but I believe that the princess is broad-minded and magnanimous. She would not joke with me in the face of life and death."
Even if the princess was really teasing him, he still wanted to give it a try.
There is always a glimmer of hope.
Su Yunyao chuckled, leaned over, and patted his shoulder, "General Huo is really flexible..."
Before she could finish her words, there was a rustling sound of footsteps coming from the direction of the door.
"Princess, you made it difficult for me to find you..."
Zhenzhu repaired the carriage and didn't find Su Yunyao outside the Yanyu Tower, so she went looking for her all the way here. She happened to meet Chen Qiu Nian, who had brought the imperial physician, outside the inn.
The two of them walked into the inn one after the other.
Shen Qiunian paused slightly, his eyes unconsciously falling on Su Yunyao's hand on Huo Xiao's shoulder.
His eyes were dark and unclear, and he quickly came to his senses in an instant.
"Princess, since Miss Pearl is here, I will leave first."
Su Yunyao slowly stood up straight and clapped her hands together, "Don't walk, run, okay?"
Chen Qiu Nian:?
Everyone: ...
The next day.
Su Yunyao slept until noon.
The first thing he did after waking up was to go into the palace.
At this time, the emperor was sitting in the Xuanzheng Hall, reviewing memorials that he would never finish.
Su Yunyao instantly felt a little sympathy for his situation. As they were born to the same mother, she could only be responsible for being beautiful, but her poor brother had to work like a beast of burden every day.
There is no such thing as a peaceful life. It would be better if someone could help her like a slave.
"Royal brother..."
When the emperor saw her coming, he put down the red brush in his hand and didn't seem surprised at all.
"I heard that the Imperial Sister summoned all the palace physicians last night. Is there anything wrong with her?"
Su Yunyao looked like she was about to collapse from exhaustion.
"Royal brother, for your General Huo, I, your Royal Sister, have been busy all night long."
emperor:?
"So what's for lunch tonight?"
emperor:……
She is worthy of being his royal sister!
"Wu Jixiang..."
Seeing the palace maids were about to serve the meal, she hurriedly took a sip.
"Don't bother too much. Let's just have a simple lunch today. Let's have... Stir-fried tripe with pork and fish fillets, deep-fried pork ribs with kidney and vinegar, pine flower egg white with lotus root, jellyfish and tripe. It's very flavorful. Four cold dishes and four hot dishes, eight dishes, and a pot of hot white wine!"
Hysteria is a breakdown, and hysteria is delicious.
emperor:……
Everyone: ...
no!
My dear sister, just order the dishes, why are you singing?
The emperor was speechless. He loved his own sister and turned to Wu Jixiang and said, "Just prepare as my sister says."
Su Yunyao then sat down contentedly, supporting her chin with one hand, eating the fresh fruit brought by the palace servants, and spoke slowly.
"Royal brother, could you give me a box of that spice you gave to Concubine Shu before? I heard that spice has a fragrant aroma, can invigorate blood circulation, unclog the meridians, and invigorate the mind. It's incredibly good!"
The emperor's fingertips paused noticeably when he heard the voice. "What does my sister want that for?"
Su Yunyao looked at his reaction and seemed to have the answer in her mind. "I didn't even tell you which spice it was, and you already knew it, my royal brother?"
The emperor chuckled. "My sister, you are helping Huo Xiao so much. Could it be that you have a crush on him? My sister, don't forget that Huo Xiao would rather disobey my order than refuse me."
Su Yunyao stuffed a piece of apple into her mouth, her expression indifferent, "I don't want to marry him, I just want to sleep with him!"
emperor:……
A vein popped out on the emperor's forehead, and he immediately started coughing violently because he was choked by his own saliva.
He took a big sip of tea to suppress his turbulent emotions, and then heard Su Yunyao continue in a light voice.
"Regarding the fact that I don't have a concubine, no man in Daxia is innocent."
emperor:……
No, my sister!
"Royal brother, I know that spice. You must still have it. If Huo Xiao asks you for it with his military merits, you can give it to him. It would be better to do me a favor."
Su Yunyao put on a flattering face, held the tea bowl he had drunk from in both hands, and handed it to him.
"Royal brother, think about it, if I use a box of ointment to make General Huo fall asleep, you can rest assured. You don't have to worry about him commanding a large army anymore."
emperor:……
The imperial sister made a great sacrifice!
The emperor's eyes trembled slightly, as if he was persuaded, and he waved at Wu Jixiang.
Soon, an exquisite box came into Su Yunyao's hands.
"Royal sister, this spice is different from ordinary incense. It cannot be placed in the house, let alone rubbed on the body. Royal sister, please give it to Huo Xiao. Do not keep it for yourself."
The emperor looked extremely serious. It was the first time that Su Yunyao saw him like this.
