I am cannon fodder, but I can hug thighs

Lin Jin tapped her toes on the ground in embarrassment, not knowing what expression to use to face Luo Wensheng.

Fang Zhining opened the bottle stopper and put it to his nose to smell it, then put the stopper back in place: "He is like this in front of outsiders, as if everyone in the world owes him a consultation fee."

People are always busy when they are embarrassed. Lin Jin just wants to find a topic to avoid Luo Wensheng. She points at the bottle in Fang Zhining's hand and asks, "What is this?"

"Your expression is so stiff." Fang Zhining didn't care about Lin Jin's life or death at all. "Brother, if you are free tomorrow, please help me run a trip and help take my pulse. I will write the prescription."

"No, I will not set foot in the palace."

Fang Zhining raised his eyebrows and looked at Lin Jin helplessly: "Look, I have no other choice. Otherwise, you can ask him to continue to help me teach tomorrow."

Lin Jin blinked, her eyes switching between the two people, but after all, she was asking for help, so she stood up and bowed to Luo Wensheng: "Could you please help me, sir? Lin Jin thanks you in advance."

"If the Prime Minister's wife can owe me a favor, I will naturally not refuse." Luo Wensheng did not say anything this time, "But Madam, if you owe too many favors, you will get into trouble."

Lin Jin herself didn’t know how many favors she owed, but she had already owed them, and she would slowly pay them back in the future: “There’s nothing we can do about it. Unless you live in seclusion, you’ll always owe favors to each other.”

Luo Wensheng wanted to say something but stopped himself when he thought that Lin Jin had nothing to do with him, so he swallowed his words back.

Fang Zhining couldn't bear to see this and couldn't help but interrupt: "That princess has nothing to do with you. Why do you owe such a favor to someone who has nothing to do with you? There are other people who should be anxious."

"No, because I also have things I want to know, so it can be considered as my request." Lin Jin wanted to know whether that woman knew witchcraft or not. She hadn't heard that the Queen Mother summoned Liu Zhengqing to the palace again since that time. It was a good opportunity for Jing'an to come to her, so it would be good to go with the flow.

Fang Zhining looked at Lin Jin in confusion: "What do you want to know?"

"Well..." Lin Jin leaned close to her ear and whispered a few words, then put his hands together, "Please."

Fang Zhining's eyes almost looked cross-eyed, as if he couldn't believe what he heard: "Gu magic?"

The princess knows witchcraft, then...

"Then..." Fang Zhining showed a gloating smile on his face, "Then we can watch a good show."

"You seem very happy." Lin Jin's mouth twitched. Seeing the other person's increasingly unbridled laughter, she felt that the two words could be removed. "You don't seem to like the royal family very much?"

But before that, Fang Zhining had traveled all the way from Lingnan to Taiyuan Prefecture just for Jing'an.

"Like?" Fang Zhining said as if he had heard something funny. "It's all old news, so let's not talk about it. But the imperial family has always been ruthless. Who would like such a cold-hearted, selfish guy?"

"We are willing to help people because we are kind people."

Lin Jin: “…”

That's absolutely right, I can't refute it.

"By the way, if you want to know about this matter, why don't you go directly to Liu Zhengqing?" Fang Zhining remembered that he had asked Liu Zhengqing to enter the palace a few days ago.

It's not that Lin Jin didn't want to find Liu Zhengqing to see if there was any other solution, but spring ploughing was about to begin, and floods were also more likely to occur in spring. As the Minister of Works, Liu Zhengqing was actually very busy recently, so she was embarrassed to bother Liu Zhengqing with such a matter.

"It seems that my brother will start to control the flood again in a few days, so..." Lin Jin was halfway through explaining when his ear was grabbed, "Ah! It hurts!"

Fang Zhining's hand was full of strength, and her eyes were fierce: "Liu Zhengqing's matter is an important matter, but mine is not? Lin Jin, don't be so partial."

"No, no, I didn't mean that, it's just, just... okay, I was wrong, I won't do this again next time." Lin Jin couldn't find any reason to explain himself, so he could only raise his hands in surrender.

It was already evening when Lin Jin returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion. A gorgeous carriage passed by her. Her eyes followed the carriage as it left. She seemed not to have heard that there were any guests in the Prime Minister's Mansion today.

"Nian'er!" Lin Jin called out to Shi Nian, who was lying on the rockery to bask in the sun. Shi Nian twitched his ears and shook his tail a few times, standing still like a mountain to indicate that he had heard her.

Lin Jin: “…”

A cat pretending to be profound.

"Well, I won't cook cat food for you. You can catch fish for yourself today." Lin Jin's lips curled up slightly.

"Ah!" Shi Nian let out a dissatisfied cry, then jumped down unwillingly, walked to Lin Jin with his tail drooping, "Ahh."

"I was lying to you. I didn't plan to cook cat food for you today." Lin Jin stared at Shi Nian, who was furious, with evil intentions. "I just wanted to see how arrogant you can be."

Although most of it is fake.

Shi Nian's tail was wagging rapidly, and it was obvious that she was angry: "Ouch!"

Lin Jin held it up like a child and said, "Zhi Ning will go to the palace tomorrow to check the princess' pulse. We will soon know whether it is what I thought. It can be regarded as solving a problem." She rubbed Shi Nian as she spoke, as if she was treating Shi Nian as a tree hole.

"Ah." Shi Nian responded to Lin Jin weakly. It didn't understand the strange things Lin Jin said. It only knew that there was no food left.

"Don't be like this, you need to lose weight. I can't hold you anymore." Lin Jin felt the solid ball in her arms, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, "How can you catch fish when you are so fat?"

But if Shi Nian gets any fatter, she'll be worried about him getting the three highs. Even though Shi Nian is just a cat, cats can also get the three highs, and she can't get any medicine to treat Shi Nian now.

"Be obedient, let's lose some weight..."

"Ahhh!" Shi Nian knew that every time Lin Jin mentioned the word "lose weight", it meant that it would not be full for a long time. After kicking its feet, it jumped down to express its dissatisfaction with actions.

Lin Jin: “…”

“No, you have to lose weight.” Lin Jin narrowed her eyes. Although Shi Nian was very easy going and had not conceived kittens in several years without being neutered, Shi Nian was not tall to begin with, and at more than ten pounds she was really like a solid ball.

"Ah!" Shi Nian disagreed.

"The protest is useless because you are just a cat and you can't cook." Lin Jin rubbed Shi Nian's head, but the next second Shi Nian's eyes were filled with tears and she began a tearful offensive.

Lin Jin: “…”

Tsk, I forgot Shi Nian also knew this trick.

"No." Lin Jin looked fierce, "If you can't lose weight, you won't be able to catch even small fish in the future."

"Ah!" No way!

"puff!"

"Really? You can..." Lin Jin was about to continue to scare Shi Nian, but she heard something wrong. "Hey, who's laughing?"

She searched around and saw the figure at the corner of the corridor. The other person was covering his lips with a handkerchief and chuckling, and his eyes narrowed when he met Lin Jin's gaze.

Lin Jin stared blankly at the woman in the goose yellow jacket. She thought she must be sick. She missed Song Shixia so much. Why did she feel the shadow of Song Shixia in everyone she looked at?

Every spring and summer, Liu Zhengqing travels around to control floods. This year is no exception. Documents from all over the country are delivered to his house at the beginning of spring.

Liu Zhengqing held a black snake in his hand, and his cold eyes swept over the place where it crawled back: "If the Gu King has his own ideas and cannot obey his master, there is no need for him to survive."

Even without this snake, he can still raise a new Gu King.

The black snake stuck out its tongue and pretended to be innocent. Sensing the murderous intent coming from the other party, it affectionately wrapped its tail around Liu Zhengqing's arm.

"If you continue to do unnecessary things, I will crush you to death." Liu Zhengqing tore it off his hand and threw it aside. "Whether you like that person's blood or something else, the master's orders should be put first."

The black snake coiled up beside the brazier, its head drooping because of Liu Zhengqing's scolding, and its movements of spitting out its tongue seemed weak.

Seeing its unreliable appearance, Liu Zhengqing decided not to take it with him when he went to control the water. He would raise a new Gu King when he got there. Whether it could survive and which Gu insects could survive would all depend on their abilities.

The black snake sensed Liu Zhengqing's thoughts, hissed twice, and sneaked away while Liu Zhengqing was not paying attention.
