Chapter 24
With a loud bang, the teacup in his hand fell to the ground, and Xiao Huan was stunned. At this time, those words kept echoing in his mind.
"--Postpartum care for sows?"
This is actually the sow’s postpartum care? !
Although there was no such industry as postpartum care for livestock at that time, Xiao Huan still understood it as the name suggests.
But what did he just do?
He fed me the soup that sows drink after giving birth, and he actually drank it...
Drink it.
Xiao Huan closed his eyes and felt his stomach churning. He just wanted to vomit all over the floor.
"parking!"
The guards driving outside the imperial carriage were stunned for a moment, then quickly pulled the reins to stop the carriage, thinking that something had happened to Master Xie who was carriage-sick. After all, Master Xie was very weak the last time he traveled.
However, to the guards' surprise, it was His Majesty who came out.
His Majesty, who had been calm before getting on the car, now had a face as dark as ink, as if he had swallowed a bug alive. He quickly got off the car and walked into the woods.
The eunuch waited cautiously outside the woods, not daring to step forward. He didn't know what had happened. Why did His Majesty look... so horrified?
Xiao Huan was really crazy. It was well known that he had mysophobia. After learning that he had drunk the sow nursing soup, he wished he could vomit his stomach clean.
Although it was only the self in the book who drank it and the real self did not drink it, Xiao Huan's face twisted when he thought that this soup was actually connected to him.
Bold!
He must severely punish Xie Ling for daring to commit such a crime!
For a full half hour, Emperor Wu was retching and gargling in the woods. The eunuchs waiting in line outside were busy, and when they saw that His Majesty had finally stopped vomiting, they hurried to prepare some fresh clean water.
In order to prevent His Majesty from having mysophobia, some fragrant magnolia flowers were specially put into the golden basin.
However, as soon as he saw the magnolia flowers, Xiao Huan felt like vomiting again and almost couldn't help but feel his stomach cramping.
He took a deep breath.
"Get some clean water."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Wang Bao immediately changed the basin and did not breathe a sigh of relief until His Majesty had washed his hands completely.
Xie Ling was feeling drowsy inside. He had originally tried to concentrate on writing down his thoughts for today, but as he was writing, Emperor Wu rushed out and the carriage stopped by the roadside, and he began to feel a little sleepy.
Hey, this is the trouble of eating too much. I feel sleepy as soon as I get into a certain environment. He was so sleepy that he was holding the pen.
"System, please keep an eye on the person for me. I'll take a nap and tell you when His Majesty comes up."
system:……
The system didn't say anything, so Xie Ling took it as its agreement and took a nap on the frame.
It was not until the sound of footsteps was heard outside that the system woke up Xie Ling with a strange look.
"Wake up host, the Emperor Wu is here."
He just thought that the host could get through it, but now... glancing through the curtain at the pale, red-lipped, gloomy Emperor Wu, he felt for the first time that the host might not be able to make it through this.
This one looks so scary!
Forget it, luckily I have saved up some energy recently, so I should quickly cast a pain-shielding aura on the host.
When Xie Ling woke up, he was a little more conscious and was a little surprised that the system automatically blocked the pain for him.
"You're usually very frugal with your energy, so why are you so self-conscious today?"
The sun rises from the west?
The sun hasn't risen in the west yet, but the head will soon rise in the west.
The system hesitated to speak, trembling with fear. Even though it had long thought that this explosive content would have an impact on the Emperor, it did not expect that the impact would be so great, causing the Emperor to vomit for half an hour. Only Xie Ling in the world could do this.
Xie Ling didn't know what was going on. After waking up, he rubbed his shoulders naturally, his eyes still a little sleepy. After hearing the noise, he resumed his kneeling position to write, picked up the pen and pretended to write.
With a "bang", Emperor Wu suddenly opened the curtain and came in.
He rarely showed his anger like this, and at this moment he looked like a raging lion.
Xie Ling was full of questions???
What's going on?
He got so angry just because he got carsick? He used to get carsick every day, but his mentality was pretty good.
This time it was Xie Ling's turn to point fingers and comment.
The system was as quiet as a chicken, and Xie Ling secretly glanced at Emperor Wu.
"Hey, I'm spoiled, I just can't keep my cool."
Xiao Huan couldn't believe it when he saw a line of words appearing on the novel page above his head.
Am I spoiled?
Can't keep calm?
He was so angry that he laughed, his face twitching as he stared at Xie Ling.
Xie Ling felt confused by the look on his face, and he held the pen and looked at the half-written "Thoughts on the Poetry Meeting".
"Is this what Your Majesty wants to see?"
"Should I hand it over?"
Xiao Huan was now having a stress reaction to everything Xie Ling wrote. When Xie Ling just thought about this, he said coldly, "Shut up!"
Before Xie Ling could even open his mouth, he said:
Well, it can be seen that His Majesty is very irritable.
Forget it, men always have those days. Now we are still in the carriage. If the king wants his subjects to shut up, he has to shut up. I have to understand him. Xie Ling shut up obediently, his eyes wandering around.
Xiao Huan felt really uncomfortable at this moment and had no energy to attack him. He could only wait to think about it after returning to the palace.
The emperor had a gloomy face and closed his eyes. Perhaps it was due to the influence of the "postpartum care soup", but the carriage, which usually did not shake, began to shake.
He managed to hold back from speaking, fearing that he would feel nauseous as soon as he opened his mouth.
The whole journey was silent and even the guards driving the carriage outside felt the chill and shivered slightly.
Xie Ling secretly observed him, and when he saw Xiao Huan half-lying in black clothes, he couldn't help but sigh: "To be honest, looking at His Majesty the Emperor secretly like this actually gives me the feeling of seeing a beauty damaged in battle."
It turns out that good-looking people are good-looking no matter what.
The system finally couldn't help it: "Be quiet."
Besides, he was afraid that Emperor Wu couldn't help himself!
Xie Ling felt that the system was too timid. What was there to be afraid of when typing on the screen? Could anyone peek at me? Hahaha, that was too scary.
He even laughed himself out after he finished complaining.
system:……
Should I say that his guess was pretty accurate?
Fortunately, they finally got back after rushing all the way. If Xie Ling and Emperor Wu were allowed to stay there any longer, Xie Ling would not go crazy, but the system would go crazy.
After returning to the palace, Xiao Huan took a deep breath, gritted his teeth after lifting the curtain of the car.
"Ask Xia Changli to come."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
The eunuch had a premonition long before His Majesty had been vomiting outside for so long, and he turned around immediately.
Xie Ling originally thought that Emperor Wu had returned to the palace, and seemed to be going to see a doctor, so he should be taken back to the side hall. However, he did not go back until he got off the carriage. Instead, he was led in by the eunuchs in a daze.
Fortunately, no one noticed him in the chaos at that time. Xie Ling leaned against the pillar and watched a group of people busy at work.
Xiao Huan spoke directly after Xia Changli arrived.
"No need to take my pulse, just prescribe some medicine to suppress my nausea."
He knew his own condition well. It was not a disease at all. He was just careless and let his imagination make him sick. There was no need to ask for pulse diagnosis again and again.
Seeing the emperor's expression, Xia Changli hesitated for a moment but turned around and got some medicine.
However, when he saw Xia Changli, Xiao Huan thought of the guy in Xie Ling's novel who couldn't even figure out that the soup was a sow's postpartum care soup. At this time, he couldn't help but look at him more.
Xia Changli felt confused by the look on his face and didn't know why the emperor was looking at him like that.
"Your Majesty, do you have any instructions?" he asked thoughtfully.
"No."
Xiao Huan closed his eyes and waved his hand to signal people to leave.
The only remaining eunuch in the hall also retreated. Xie Ling didn't react at first, and only realized when he saw Wang Bao was about to leave - oh no, he was too slow to react and forgot to follow.
Would it be too abrupt to go out at this time?
In those evil ancient times, how come everyone's physical reactions were so quick? Isn't this an amazing ability to read people's expressions?
Sure enough, when Xie Ling was in the hall, not knowing whether to leave or stay, he saw Xiao Huan raising his head.
Can't you see I'm going to take a bath?
Xiao Huan opened his eyes when he heard the noise. Just when he wanted to see who was so tactless, he saw Xie Ling standing there in a dilemma.
Xiao Huan: ...
As their eyes met, Xie Ling discovered that His Majesty's face was gradually getting darker.
Seeing that something was about to happen, his mind was racing, and suddenly an idea struck him and he spoke:
"Your Majesty, I just noticed that you were not feeling well."
"I bought this specially from Dongfang City. I wanted to give it to you in the car, but I didn't dare to ask because I saw that you were in pain."
"That." Xie Ling hesitated for a moment when he said this.
“The candied fruit is very sweet.”
"Would you like to try it?"
He risked angering me and stayed here just to say this? Xiao Huan, who was furious today, looked at the oil paper bag in Xie Ling's hand with a blank expression.
Xie Ling: Hiss, it seems that the situation today is really wrong. Being stared at by Emperor Wu's dark eyes, Xie Ling was terrified, and a flash of light flashed above his head.
"I was scared to death."
"What's going on?"
Xiao Huan clenched his palms as he met the innocent gaze of the person opposite him.
"Bring up the preserves."
This guy didn't forget me when he went to the poetry meeting during the day. The inexplicable displeasure that emerged when passing by the market when leaving the palace dissipated a little.
Xiao Huan pursed his lips and watched Xie Ling walk forward.
Xie Ling didn't expect that the excuse of presenting candied fruit would really work. After walking over, he looked around as if he had thought of something.
"Your Majesty, I'll ask a eunuch to come and take the silver needle to test it."
He read in novels that the emperor would test for poison before eating. Although he knew that the candied fruit was safe to eat, the emperor didn't know that. In order to calm the emperor's sensitive mind, he decided to give it a try.
Xie Ling's mind was just wandering, wondering whether he should go out to look for Eunuch Wang, when he saw Xiao Huan giving him a strange look.
Whenever Xiao Huan thought of testing poison, he thought of the bowl of soup in the novel... His forehead was throbbing with pain. He closed his eyes and said coldly when Xie Ling looked at him with concern, "Eat it for me to see."
Xie Ling: ...Ah?
"oh."
Reaching out and taking out a candied fruit, Xie Ling ate it very naturally.
Cherry pancake is indeed the most popular fruit. Even after being left out for an afternoon, the taste has not changed. His eyes lit up and his appetite became more and more appealing the more he ate.
Xiao Huan had no interest in this sweet and sour thing, but seeing how satisfied Xie Ling was, he was ready to reach out for one. However, he really had no appetite, so he withdrew his hand after he got there.
Seeing the emperor reaching out his hand and then retracting it, Xie Ling thought that he felt it was inconvenient to eat without the eunuchs and was worried that the candied fruit would make his fingers sticky.
At this moment, I suddenly picked up a candied fruit and handed it over.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I just cleaned my hands."
Xiao Huan was stunned for a moment, and before he could react, a white, soft hand holding a candied fruit was fed to his lips.
