Chapter 107 Rose Candy
After Long Yi came back, Wen Yingxue's life became more fun.
Every day, Wen Yingxue would take Long Yi around to play. Although Long Yi thought Wen Yingxue was childish, he was happy to cooperate.
Lian Fangyu said, "Alright, we've been out playing all day, let's eat quickly. Look at you two running around and sweating, and you don't feel tired at all."
Wen Yingxue threw the sandbag aside with a smile and pulled Long Yi over to eat.
While eating, Wen Yingxue suddenly remembered that since Long Yi came back, Nie Chubai had been going out early and coming back late every day, and he hadn't eaten with her for more than ten days.
"Mom, hasn't Nie Chubai come back yet?" Wen Yingxue asked.
"Oh, why did you think of asking him today? It's not easy." Lian Fangyu teased with a smile.
Since she recovered, Lian Fangyu seems to be in a much better mood and is not as silent as before, which is good.
Wen Yingxue pulled Lian Fangyu's sleeve coquettishly and said, "Mom, you're laughing at me."
"Okay, you're already grown up and still acting like a spoiled brat. Chu Bai said that the emperor will stop writing in ten days, so we have to hurry and get the job done," Lian Fangyu explained.
Today is the 18th day of the twelfth lunar month. On the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month, the emperor will put down his pen and continue his court session on the third day of the first lunar month next year.
"Oh, so that's how it is." Wen Yingxue nodded, thoughtfully.
After dinner, Wen Yingxue went to make sugar. She was going to make candy for Nie Chubai.
These past few days, she hadn't just been hanging out with Long Yi; she had also made a rose-patterned candy mold herself. She'd just finished it today.
After the syrup was boiled, Wen Yingxue carefully poured it into the mold with a small spoon, then took it out and it cooled down in a while.
After thinking about it, Wen Yingxue asked for another black-bone chicken to make soup.
In the evening, when Nie Chubai came back, he saw Wen Yingxue wrapped in a quilt, holding a hot water bottle, and nodding her little head.
"Why aren't you sleeping?" Nie Chubai took off his cloak, walked to the bed and asked. Wen Yingxue looked up at Nie Chubai in confusion.
"Well, you're back?" Wen Yingxue rubbed her eyes, and then saw that Nie Chubai's hair was wet and some snow had not melted.
"Is it snowing outside?" Wen Yingxue asked.
Nie Chubai nodded and asked again, "Why aren't you asleep yet? Are you waiting for me?"
Wen Yingxue yawned, then threw off the quilt and ran out. After a while, she came back running with a bowl of chicken soup in her hand.
"Here, this is the chicken soup I made for you. Drink it quickly to warm yourself up. I also made rose candy especially for you." Wen Yingxue took out a small box of candy she made and handed it to Nie Chubai.
Nie Chubai was holding soup in one hand and sugar in the other, and was stunned.
He put down what he was holding, frowned, and sat down next to Wen Yingxue, saying seriously, "Go ahead!"
Wen Yingxue was puzzled: "What did you say?"
"Have you gotten into trouble? Or do you want something?" Nie Chubai asked.
Wen Yingxue thought about it and shook her head: "No, why do you ask?"
Nie Chubai looked at her for a long time, then said, "No, it's just that I'm a little uncomfortable with you being so nice to me all of a sudden today."
Wen Yingxue rolled her eyes and said, "I just feel sorry for you because you've been leaving early and coming back late these past few days."
Nie Chubai couldn't deny it. He took out a rose candy and put it in his mouth, saying, "Oh, I thought someone had ignored me for so long and finally felt guilty."
After hearing Nie Chubai's sour words, Wen Yingxue smiled a little embarrassedly and moved closer to Nie Chubai.
"Oh, I know I've neglected you these past few days. It's my fault, but I don't completely miss you. Look, all the rose candies I made are for you. Long Yi doesn't have any."
Looking at the rose candies in the small box, Nie Chubai picked up another one and put it in his mouth, crunching it into pieces. It tasted so sweet that his mood improved involuntarily.
Seeing Nie Chubai reaching for the candy again, Wen Yingxue quickly closed the box and said, "It's late at night, eating so much sweets will give you a toothache. Eat these tomorrow. I'll make more for you after you finish eating."
"Okay." Nie Chubai agreed reluctantly, and then drank the chicken soup.
Lying on the bed, Wen Yingxue asked, "What have you been busy with these past few days? Why do you come home so late every day?"
Nie Chubai said: "I'm dealing with some things. I also heard that Daqing has a new emperor, and Beize and Xijing are starting to make moves.
Bei Ze's side is just spying, but Xi Jingguo is much bolder and is always looking for trouble."
Xijing? The book once said that Xijing was just a medium-sized empire, not as good as Daqing and Beize. Where did they get the confidence to come to Daqing to cause trouble?
"What happened? Have you investigated it clearly?" Wen Yingxue lay down beside Nie Chubai and asked with a frown.
"It was Ye Junyan and Lin Youwan. They both fled to Xijing Kingdom. Somehow they gained the trust of the Xijing Emperor, and Ye Junyan became the general of Xijing."
Wen Yingxue suddenly remembered that the emperor of the Xijing Empire was the third male supporting character, a man who was deeply in love with Lin Youwan. In the end, he chose beauty over the kingdom and gave up being the emperor for Lin Youwan.
Unfortunately, in the end, he was killed by Ye Junyan.
"Tsk tsk, this is not surprising. The emperor of Xijing Kingdom liked Lin Youwan. In the book, he almost gave up the throne to Lin Youwan." Wen Yingxue said.
"So, Xijing is probably going to go to war with Daqing?" Wen Yingxue asked again.
Nie Chubai shook his head: "It's hard to say, but seeing that the love-brained emperor you mentioned is so submissive to Lin Youwan, a fight might be brewing."
Wen Yingxue immediately asked with some concern: "Will the emperor send you to fight?"
The Eight-Angled Mysterious Ice Lotus will mature in February next year. It is the antidote to the toxins in Nie Chubai's body and cannot be delayed.
"What are you thinking about? I'm not the only one in the court. At least there's Hao Wanlin here. He's more suitable for the battlefield than me." Nie Chubai patted Wen Yingxue's shoulder and said comfortingly.
"That's good. At least until you are completely detoxified, you should stay in the capital."
"good."
Lying in Nie Chubai's warm embrace, Wen Yingxue suddenly said, "How about we wait until after the New Year and set off for the Dark Night Swamp to find the Eight-Angled Mysterious Ice Lotus to detoxify you? I'm afraid that Lin Youwan and the others might get there first."
Although the original plot has changed a lot in the current situation, the male and female protagonists are still alive, and there are too many uncertain factors. What if the Eight-Angled Mysterious Ice Lotus eventually falls into Lin Youwan's hands, what will happen to Nie Chubai?
To be on the safe side, it is better to set off as early as possible.
"Detoxification?" Nie Chubai turned to look at Wen Yingxue. Under the dim candlelight, Wen Yingxue looked even more beautiful.
Nie Chubai's Adam's apple suddenly rolled up and down twice, and even his voice became darker. He turned over and pressed Wen Yingxue down, saying softly, "Okay, let's detoxify first."
Then, Wen Yingxue's mouth was blocked.
