Fu Zi reacted, "Young Master, how are you!"
Qi Yu coughed for a while before calming down.
His face was flushed, and his eyes were filled with tears. What a delicate and handsome man!
Noticing the other party's undisguised gaze, Fu Zi stood in front of Qi Yu.
"What do you intend to do to our young master!"
"Cough cough," a mouthful of spicy wine almost burned her throat, "Where did you get the idea that I've taken a liking to your young master?"
Fuko: I can see every single toe.
Since she had taken advantage of someone else's place to hide, Nanzhi naturally had to repay them.
She clapped her hands and stood up.
Under the astonished gaze of the frail, handsome man, she pulled his hand over and began to take his pulse.
Fu Zi's eyes widened. "You lecherous scoundrel!"
“He’s been poisoned,” Nanzhi interrupted him.
She continued, "Fortunately, the poisoning isn't severe, and it can be treated."
The master and servant's eyes lit up.
Qi Yu clenched her fists tightly, no wonder her health was deteriorating.
I thought it was something I was born with, but I never expected it to turn out like this.
Nanzhi picked up the food in front of him and smelled it.
“Yes,” she nodded, “that’s it, but the dosage is small, probably to prevent you from dying too soon.”
Fu Zi asked excitedly, "Can you really cure my young master's illness?"
Nanzhi sat back down. "It can be cured, but judging from your appearance, you probably don't have much money."
Fu Zi tightly gripped the purse at her waist and then placed it in front of Nan Zhi.
"This is all the money I have. Please heal my young master."
The purse felt so light that Nanzhi didn't even need to open it to know how much money was inside.
"One and a half taels of silver? How come you're poorer than me!"
Fu Zi lowered her head. "We only have this much. However, if you heal my young master, I will do whatever you want with me."
He is quite loyal.
“I don’t like someone like you.” Nanzhi glanced at the person behind him.
"No, no, our young master can't do it."
Nan Zhi scoffed, "She's really naive."
"Alright," Qi Yu said softly, "Miss, please stop teasing him."
Qi Yu cut to the chase: "What are your conditions, young lady?"
It seems the young master in front of me isn't stupid either.
Nanzhi didn't speak, took a bite of the braised pork knuckle, and swallowed it.
"It smells so good!"
The two people opposite couldn't help but swallow hard.
Qi Yu hadn't eaten all day, and seeing this made her feel like her stomach was on fire, her whole body screaming.
He was hungry.
Hearing the rumbling of the stomachs of the two people opposite her, Nanzhi looked up.
"The bowls and chopsticks are all ready, aren't you two going to eat?"
Fu Zi glanced at Qi Yu. Since his master didn't make a move, he naturally had to wait obediently.
"Let's talk about it after we finish eating. These dishes are all leftovers from the banquet. If you're not going to eat them, I'll just throw them away after we finish."
Qi Yu looked reluctant to throw away such good food.
"What a waste of resources."
Nan Zhi: "Oh right, what a waste! Hurry up and start eating! And you, come to the table and eat with us."
Fu Zi was stunned. How could he sit at the table when his master was eating?
Qi Yu picked up her chopsticks. "Fu Zi, sit down and eat with me."
"But, but," Fuko hesitated.
Nanzhi can't stand these rules and regulations.
"Eat or not? If you don't eat, I'm going to throw it away!"
Fu Zi sat down with lightning speed, picked up a chicken leg and started gnawing on it.
The master and servant ate heartily, and Nanzhi smiled with satisfaction.
After a satisfying meal, Nanzhi took out the toothpicks she had prepared beforehand and began to clean her teeth.
Qi Yu, sitting opposite, frowned as she watched.
"You are a woman," Qi Yu reminded her.
Nan Zhi: "Yeah, can't you tell?"
Qi Yu: "A woman should be elegant and gentle, like jade."
Nanzhi turned her head: "Don't girls need to pick their teeth?"
Qi Yu: ......
From what had just happened, Nanzhi already knew that the person in front of her should be the son of the King of Qi.
As for why it is like this, it must be because King Qi values his direct descendants, a common practice in drafting official documents.
After all, in ancient times, there was a clear distinction between legitimate and illegitimate sons. Family heirlooms were usually passed down to legitimate sons, while illegitimate sons were often not valued.
Of course, this situation varies from person to person, but in wealthy families, especially royal families and nobles, there is a clear distinction between legitimate and illegitimate children, and between superiors and inferiors.
Nanzhi looked at him. "What's your name?"
"Qi Yu." He paused. "And you?"
"Nanzhi," she told him truthfully.
What do you want?
Nanzhi paused for a moment, then said, "I want a promise from you."
"That simple?" Qi Yu didn't believe it.
He's now nothing more than a young master in the Qi Prince's mansion, not even as good as a servant. What use is his promise to him?
Without saying anything else, Nan Zhi began preparing the medicine.
He reached into his bundle, pulled out a few herbs, and threw them onto the table.
The herbs are fresh; Nan Zhi just plucked them from her spatial storage.
It's so tender and juicy, it's really pleasing to the eye.
Fuko picked up a plant, leaving some water stains on the table. "Alive?"
Nanzhi shrugged. "What else?"
Fu Zi began to doubt whether the person in front of her could actually cure the young master's illness.
Qi Yu frowned slightly, and after a moment, said, "Fu Zi, take it and brew it."
Just as he was about to leave, Nanzhi blocked his way.
"Fresh, just chew it directly, no need to cook it."
Fu Zi glanced at her, then at the herbs in your hand, and finally fixed her gaze on Qi Yu.
"Young Master, this..." Fu Zi was at a loss.
Although the young master is not favored by the King of Qi, he cannot simply eat grass raw.
Qi Yu held out her hand. "Give it to me."
Fu Zi hesitated before handing over the herbs, and under the watchful eyes of the two, she put the herbs directly into her mouth.
