Chapter 18 The Prince Who Failed to Revolt
Every time, after the queen was tortured, she would watch Zhang Xiaojia suffer in the imperial mausoleum, watching Zhang Xiaojia clean the toilet, boil water to serve the prince, wipe the prince's body, and help the prince go to the toilet, so that she could feel better.
But I've watched it so many times, why?
Zhang Xiaojia didn’t give the prince food?
Hahaha! She's still like this, pretending to be liked by everyone.
She is abusing the prince! Why can't anyone see it?
The Wudesi Envoy was mad. This woman had some sorcery. She tortured him like this every day. The injuries were so severe. She called a nanny to check the next day and he must be fine.
However, if such a magic is used by generals, it will be very powerful. If it is thrown into the army and can be used by all soldiers, our Great Zhou can regain all the lost territories in the north. Thinking of this, Wude Sishi became even more excited, and he must get it.
The emperor looked at the letter in his hand, which was given to him by Lin'an. There were two prescriptions in it, one for nutrient solution and the other for hemostatic medicine.
The prescription for the nutrient solution is that after taking it, people don't need to eat, but looking at the ingredients in it and calculating the silver cost, it is more expensive than a high-end banquet. It is unaffordable to eat it every day. His private treasury is empty. He has two prodigal brothers and sisters and a mother who spends money recklessly. Even if he is the emperor, he will not be given the money in the national treasury to spend recklessly.
There was also a prescription that was divided into four or five steps. It said that the ingredients could not be told to others and that such medicine must be in the hands of the royal emperor.
"Tell the Palace Guards to bring over a random prisoner on death row," the Emperor ordered.
Futian quickly went to find the Palace Front Department, who brought a death row prisoner with them.
The emperor gave him a bottle of medicine and said, "Cut his hand to the bone, then spray this bottle of medicine powder."
The Palace Guard looked at the medicine bottle in his hand, then at the emperor. What's wrong with the emperor? Does he want to see a death row prisoner tortured? He stabbed him with a little force, and the bone was exposed. The prisoner screamed. After he sprayed the powder, the prisoner screamed even louder. Now, the entire imperial guards team protecting the emperor came in.
After everyone looked at the death row prisoner, they were all speechless, with shock in their eyes!!!
The wounds healed quickly and the death row prisoners' expressions of eagerness to die.
Less than half an hour later, the wounds had completely healed, but the prisoner's face was pale. After the imperial physician felt his pulse, he said respectfully, "Your Majesty, there is no problem."
The Palace Guard looked at the emperor and the medicine in his hand, and secretly put the medicine into his pocket.
——
It has been more than a month since I came here. Time has quietly entered the end of June and the weather is gradually getting hotter.
Zhang Xiaojia had already started using an ice maker, carrying a vat of saltpeter to the cellar every day to make ice. Making ice in the 30-degree heat outside was undoubtedly a pipe dream. Only in the cellar, with the cool temperature of less than 10 degrees and the chill of deep well water, could he successfully make ice.
The cellar was equipped with a specialized saltpeter ice-making tool. Following the ancient and effective principle, she poured saltpeter into the tool each evening. She then added boiled water to a wooden container and covered it with a lid, and the ice was ready to be made. Before bed, she simply went to the cellar and carefully placed the ice cubes into the ice jar, placing edible ice cubes on the inside and saltpeter ice on the outside.
The next day, she took out ice from the ice jar and used it as needed, and the used saltpeter water was placed in the sun to evaporate the water and dry it for use again in the evening.
This process repeats itself continuously.
Thanks to the pure and large amount of saltpeter in her hands, the ice-making work went smoothly, and the ice produced was enough for her and He Fei's daily needs.
If you have money and power, your life will be good in any dynasty.
She made all the steamed buns into kvass, added ice cubes, and made it ice-cold. This drink has brought her and the third prince a lot of money recently, and they can still make money this year. After a while, others will learn how to make it.
Other summer drinks, forget about making money. After saltpeter was used to make ice in large quantities, ice became available to the general public and was no longer a privilege of the nobility. Street ice snacks reached their peak.
There are hundreds of kinds of iced drinks, and the most important thing is that they are all made with natural and healthy ingredients and are carefully crafted. Each drink contains the spirit of craftsmanship.
Turtle jelly powder, grass jelly powder, and ice jelly are all sold in pharmacies. You can just go to the pharmacy and buy them yourself.
[Jia Jia, no more ice cream]
Zhang Xiaojia wouldn't listen. He Fei hadn't woken up yet, and she wanted to eat some ice cream. She had to hurry up and eat it while she could, or else He Fei would wake up and not let her eat it. She was a miracle doctor, and dysmenorrhea was no big deal. A few pills would do the trick.
"He Fei, we can go to the market again in a couple of days. This time I want to buy a cart of winter melons. There's a special place in the cellar to store winter melons, so I can eat them for a long time."
[Jia Jia, when will I wake up? Don’t tell me there are still two months left.]
Zhang Xiaojia looked up and down but not at He Fei, feeling a little hesitant.
If she wanted He Fei to wake up, he could actually wake up, but after waking up, He Fei still couldn't move. In He Fei's case, if he woke up and couldn't move, he would feel guilty and annoyed if he went to the toilet. It would be better for him not to wake up and wake up after everything was done.
"I guess it's still more than a month?"
[Jia Jia, I want you to wake up in a month, or you won’t be able to eat ice cream anymore.]
Zhang Xiaojia stood up. She was going to make lychee paste. She had all the ingredients.
【Jia Jia, where are you going? 】
"I'll make you some lychee paste."
Boil half a pound of black plums, mince three ounces of Amomum villosum and cinnamon, and boil them into a liter of juice. Add the juice of half a cup of ginger and one fen of cloves. Combine these ingredients, add rock sugar, and boil until a paste forms. Sprinkle with clove powder and mix well. Lychee paste is now ready. It's a common delicacy at night markets, known for its thirst-quenching and soothing properties.
Pour ice water or smoothie on it and it will be iced lychee paste.
There is no lychee in lychee paste. It is called this name because the various ingredients are cooked to produce the smell of lychee.
When the third prince gave her the recipe, she was very surprised. She thought litchi paste was a paste made from litchi!
She cooked a full jar, set aside for today's meal, and put it in the cellar so that she could drink from it every day.
Zhang Xiaojia added ice cubes and water, stirred it, and took a sip. It was super delicious. All the raw materials can be considered medicinal materials, but the materials are not polluted at all, and the preparation does not contain any chemical ingredients. The taste is really amazing.
Zhang Xiaojia felt He Fei staring at her, so she took another big sip and fed it to him.
"Brother He, is it delicious?"
.......
He Fei was seriously reflecting on himself. This little He Fei was a useless guy. He lost so many terms just for a little comfort. Thinking about how he agreed to Jia Jia's terms, but now she despised him again, when would he wake up!
If he doesn't wake up, Jia Jia will change him into women's clothes.
