The seventh princess insists on letting me eat soft rice

After hearing Luo Qian'er's words, Lian Liejin took a look at her current situation and felt that she looked a little malnourished.

"It looks like you've been working hard. You didn't sleep much last night, did you? Or, I'll let you go for a long run."

"I'm just waiting for your words," Luo Qian'er glanced at the green vegetables on the table with disgust, and said in a low voice:

"Look at this dish. Because of this cruel woman, Gao Lan specially ordered the kitchen not to put any oil in it."

The woolen curtain at the entrance of the front hall was wide open, Xiao Luobo was holding a dark bundle in his hand, and his gloomy face contained a hint of sullenness.

"Guanxie, long time no see. No, I should call you, Marquis Shu'an, Xiaohou, Da'an."

Lian Liejin turned around and found that Xiao Luobo was walking in unsteadily, wearing thin autumn clothes and still covered with unmelted snow particles.

"Xiao Luobo, you came just in time. The sale of sweet-scented osmanthus umbrellas just needs you to supervise." Lian Liejin hurriedly greeted his servants for tea and dinner, not paying attention to Xiao Luobo's words.

"No, Master Hou, please slow down. This large package of medicinal materials also asks Lord Hou to take the time to refine it into Jinxubiyudan, Liushuihuaqingsan, and Ziwuhejiwan."

Hearing the name of the elixir, the smile on Lian Liejin's face gradually disappeared, "Why do you need these heavy medicines? These medicines can remove dark wounds and also have the effect of preserving life and raising Qi. People who are not seriously injured should not use it. Guan Xieju Inventory has also been adequate.”

"Pengqiu Continent is full of disasters, and Guanxieju naturally has the responsibility to save the common people. The shopkeeper sister asked me to tell you that medicines are scarce. What kind of refining furnace and dust-free spiritual water are ready."

"Such a small amount of medicinal materials should not be enough. Even if I come, the success rate is only [-]%."

"I know, but the money in Guan Xieju's account is only enough to buy so many medicinal materials. Besides, besides the master, only you and the senior sister can successfully refine these few medicines." head, insisted:

"Refining these top-grade medicines at one time will do a lot of damage to you, but...you have a reason to do it."

"What's the reason?" Lian Liejin pulled the little radish aside, patted her on the head, his face softened a lot, "Why do you look like you're going to die, and still call me Lord Hou?"

"I think you don't need the care of Xingyaomen, master, senior sister, and us now. After all, you are a noble daughter of the Gongmen. Even if you once fell into the quagmire and suffered all kinds of bullying, you will still soar into the sky. Now these , is your original life. It's not the blue lanterns shining on the wall, and the old-fashioned elders of the Star Medicine Sect all day long."

"Forget it, it's fine if you don't want to say the reason. You don't have to say these things inexplicably," Lian Liejin shook his head helplessly and sighed, and took the medicinal materials in Xiao Luobo's hand, "You go directly to my private treasury to buy medicinal materials."

"Hey, are you leaving now?" Luo Qian'er hurriedly put down the bowl and chopsticks, and followed Lian Liejin, saying that she could run errands.

"Xiaoluobo, you take her to buy medicinal materials, and just buy her a roast chicken on the way." Lian Liejin put on a cloak to protect against the cold, handed the two of them an umbrella, and walked out of the front hall.

The three of them walked on the blood-stained corridor of the Princess Mansion. The mansion was extremely quiet, but there was an inexplicably chilling atmosphere.

In just a few steps, they saw three or four teams of guards constantly patrolling.

One of the young men, who seemed to be the head of the guard, saw that Lian Liejin seemed to be about to go out, hurriedly took three steps and made two steps, ran in front of them, bowed and said:

"My son-in-law, Your Highness the Princess has ordered that if you have nothing to do recently, it is best not to leave the Princess Mansion."

As soon as this remark came out, Lian Liejin's heart trembled, maybe something happened.Otherwise, Gao Jingxi would not restrict her personal freedom.

Last night, after she and Gao Jingxi were extremely exhausted, they hugged each other and fell asleep.Faintly, there seemed to be extremely small fighting sounds.

I thought it was an auditory hallucination, but now it seems that there is something strange.

"Little Luobo, you take Luo Qian'er to buy medicinal materials and bring them back to the Princess Mansion." After Lian Liejin finished speaking, he asked his servants to keep the medicinal materials in the bag properly, and then went to the study.

In the study, Gao Jingxi is studying the strategy of ship warfare on ice and dealing with a large number of disaster victims—it is not only her homework, but also her current worry.

"A three-foot-long boat made of star iron, with gold and jade artifacts on the bow, ten feet long, with star fire and heavy stones tied to the tail, and used as a clapper..."

Lian Liejin looked at what was written on the Seventh Princess's paper for a while, and then his eyes wandered.

She is as beautiful as jade, with radiant skin, holding a drinking spring Zihao pen in her hand, writing vigorously for a while, and stopping to think for a while.

After seeing Lian Liejin making a "hush" gesture, Ayou, who was standing by the side, quietly exited the door very tactfully.

A piece of soft and smooth lacquer ink with light in the black was slowly polished by people.The slender white fingers with black ink stripes have an elegant style.

With the grinding, the unique scent of the ink stick, with the fragrance of musk and borneol, wafts into the air.

After a long time, maybe just a moment.Gao Jingxi suddenly had a feeling of happiness in her heart. She hung her pen and turned her face. First she saw the gleams of light coming in through the carved window, and then Lian Liejin's slender fingers.

And her smiling face, although it is against the light, is still like a peach blossom on ice.

"This yo, you didn't notify me when you came here. You have been looking at me for so long." Gao Jingxi lowered her head and said intentionally, inadvertently dripping a big ink dot on the paper she just wrote. "Look, homework is ruined."

Sure enough, the skill of hitting back and forth was activated again.Lian Liejin didn't speak, but just stroked Gao Jingxi's pale lips with his hands, and his fingers were still stained with the fragrance of ink.

"Did someone break into the princess mansion at night?"

After pulling Lian Liejin to sit down, Gao Jingxi lowered his eyes slightly, the light in his eyes was dim, "There are always some things that don't look good, I can't think about it. If this is the case, I have no choice but to open the door and welcome them in."

"But because of... me?" Although Lian Liejin didn't stay in the Princess Mansion for a long time, the guards of the Princess Mansion have always guarded the place like gold.There must be a reason for Gao Jingxi to "let" those malicious spies in.

"Just listen to me obediently, don't go out casually." Gao Jingxi closed her eyes slightly, sighed and said:

"Brother Dahuang died in Big Dipper Mountain. Although no one knows the truth, even the Queen Mother thinks that he fled in fear of crime. But the affairs of the world are only afraid of someone who has a heart to find out. Your secret must not be obtained by others. Know."

Seeing Lian Liejin bowed her head and said nothing, Gao Jingxi took the initiative to hold her hand, "In the mountains and forests, fortunately, there is a husband who protects the concubine. Above the temple, the concubine is duty-bound."

"But......"

After listening to Lian Liejin coquettishly talking about the place where medicine needs to be refined, Gao Jing Xi Jiao said a few words, and pointed with a jade hand, "There are several rows of empty houses in the west of the mansion. Just light it up."

"You still have to do your homework? Have you taken the medicine I asked Ah You to bring?"

There was silence in the study, Gao Jingxi's face flushed slightly, and finally her arrogance subsided, and she murmured twice, "I drank it yesterday."

"I'm asking if you had any drink this morning."

"His Royal Highness, the Ministry of War, the Minister of the Ministry of Finance, and Xie are already waiting for you in the meeting hall."

At this moment, Ah You's voice, to Gao Jingxi, was like a life-saving voice.The usually elegant and polite Seventh Princess broke free from her husband's arms in order to avoid taking medicine.

"My injuries are all healed, so I don't want to take those medicines."

Seeing the seventh princess disappearing outside the door of the study, Lian Liejin could only smile wryly.This is not the cause of self-planting, but now you have to eat the fruit yourself.

If she knew that Gao Jingxi would become her wife back then, she would not be able to coax the young Gao Jingxi into drinking bitter medicine if she was killed.

There was really nothing he could do about Gao Jingxi, so Lian Liejin had no choice but to order someone to go to Guanxieju to bring the medicine refining furnace and dust-free spiritual water to the Princess Mansion.

Little Radish also brought back a large amount of medicinal materials. The amount of medicinal materials was so huge that it took four bullock carts to fit it.

On this day, Lian Liejin transformed the wing room on the west side of the princess mansion into her medicine refining room.

For the first time, she changed into a thick white alchemy robe - she sent someone to get it back from the concubine's mansion.

According to Lian Liejin's words, alchemy is like alchemy. The extracts of medicinal materials of various colors jump in high temperature and easily get on clothes.

The thick white robe allows her to discover in time whether the drop of medicine at that moment will cause an accident.

In the alchemy room, there is only the flame lighting in the alchemy furnace with a strange shape, like a bull's head.

The light in Xiaoluobo's eyes was on and off, but he still looked not in high spirits, "I'll watch over you outside, after you make the medicine, just leave it to me."

Lian Liejin was noncommittal, looked at Xiaoluobu with faint eyes, and said lightly:

"You'd better not hide anything from me, you still remember. The guinea fowl you accidentally killed was finally roasted by me and we both ate it."

The wooden door opened with a "squeak", and the little radish stopped in the place where the hot and cold air blended. After a long while, he slowly replied:

"No, that's not the same thing as mutilating a guinea fowl. You don't need to know."

When Xiao Luobo closed the door, Lian Liejin shrugged slightly, and then became serious.

At this moment, the flame of the refining furnace was still red, after she threw a handful of white powder into it.With a "shua", the flame turned into a white-blue cold fire.

The cold fire used in refining medicine is actually a kind of airflow with extremely high pressure. The airflow penetrates through every hole and squeezes out every drop of essence in the medicinal materials.Lian Liejin raised his hand, and placed three purple herbs that looked like vines on the white and blue cold fire.

The sound of "嗞嗞" sounded like the sound of being burned by a flame, which made the scalp numb.

During this time, some white drops squeezed out of the purple medicinal materials splashed out and sprinkled on Lian Liejin's white robe, and even passed over her arm, dripping directly on the end of Lian Liejin's eyebrows.

In that short moment, the feeling of being cut by tiny ice crystals was infinitely magnified.

For three whole days, Lian Liejin was sleepless, and the white clothes on his body were burned by fire and medicine drops, leaving only tattered rags.

Little Luobo, who had been guarding the outer room all this time, immediately became much more energetic when he heard the crisp sound of the door opening.

I saw that although Lian Liejin looked tired, he was still in good spirits, holding three purple gold clean bottles in his hand.

"I've been concentrating on refining medicine for the past few days, and I forgot to tell Her Royal Highness first. Has she sent someone to look for me recently?"

Hearing this, Xiao Luobo looked distressed, and stammered:

"The Seventh Princess seems to be out with other people. From what they said, she seems to be your elder sister."
