"Destiny."

"Destiny?"

"Qu Zhuo contacted the aristocratic family to convict me. If I want to get rid of the crime, I need to find a more convincing helper."

"In this world, is there a more convincing Mandate of Heaven? We must know that people eat whole grains, not to mention a family, even an emperor will make mistakes, but who has the ability to say that God has done something wrong?"

The sound of footsteps from behind interrupted Su Xun's memory, and the person who entered the door walked slowly behind him.

"Your Majesty, it's time to take the medicine."

Xiao Buwen bent down and gently rubbed Su Xun's forehead, looking from behind, it seemed as if he was embracing Su Xun in his arms.

The tip of Su Xun's nose twitched slightly. Even though it was covered with spices, he could still smell a faint smell of blood.

"It smells so bad, stay away from me." Su Xun muttered and pushed Xiao Buwen away.

Xiao Buwen smiled with a good temper, without saying anything, he reached out and took out a strand of hair from his forehead to his nose: "The servant has already bathed before entering the palace."

He has been staying in the cold prison for the past few days. As for whether he is interrogating those aristocratic families who want to capture the spies from the enemy country, or he is simply seeking sadistic revenge, it is not known.Anyway, according to the news sent to Su Xun's desk every day, none of those caught in the cold prison has died so far.

In a place like Cold Prison, even the air has a strong smell of blood, and it will be marinated just by staying in it for a while. At first, Xiao Buwen didn't know what kind of psychology it was, so he tried to invite Su Xun and He went to the cold prison together for interrogation, Su Xun didn't have a perverted hobby of watching others being tortured, so naturally he refused.Later, Xiao Buwen didn't mention this matter again, but the faint smell of blood when he entered the palace every day reminded him of the cruelty and terror in this seemingly docile guy.

Xiao Buwen had no choice but to say, "Next time, this slave will smoke for a while longer."

He would take a bath and change his clothes carefully before entering the palace every day. The smell of blood on his body seemed to have faded away long ago, and it was covered by incense. Even if he smelled it carefully, most people would not be able to smell anything.But His Majesty is the Son of Heaven, so he naturally has the right to be more delicate than others.

"It's getting late, Your Majesty should take a rest after taking these bowls of medicine." Xiao Buwen waved his hand and asked the maid holding the tray to step back, and personally tested the temperature for the little emperor, "The temperature is just right, Your Majesty, drink it quickly." Bar."

Su Xun looked at the pills handed to him, his whole face wrinkled, like a kitten smelling lemons.

The medicine I drank before was still amber in color, but now what is it, it is almost as black as oil!

After Xiao Buwen handed the medicine bowl to the little emperor, he stood in front of him and looked at him with a smile, showing no intention of leaving.

Su Xun: "..."

Su Xun was speechless, he was delayed by something a few days ago, he didn't drink the medicine at noon, and the medicine was completely cold when he had time.The medicine was terribly bitter in the first place, and the taste was even more indescribable after it cooled down. Su Xun almost vomited up his lunch just after taking a sip.He didn't bother to ask someone to cook another bowl, so he poured the medicine on the flowers along the wall.But he didn't expect Xiao Buwen to have a dog's nose. After a day and a night, he smelled that Su Xun had poured medicine!

From then on, the little emperor's reputation with Eunuch Xiao was wiped out. Even if he was busy every day, he would enter the palace when he was taking the medicine every day, and watch the little emperor drink the medicine himself.

"Look at me, I'm nervous, I can't drink any more." Su Xun put on a straight face, and said confidently, "It's too embarrassing for me to suffer so much, Eunuch Xiao turned his head away."

Xiao Buwen said softly: "Your Majesty, the Ninth Five-Year Honor, looks majestic no matter what."

He looked at Su Xun with a smile: "If you are nervous, then drink slowly."

Slow, slow, drink... I think you want to die of suffering.

Seeing that there was no room for negotiation, Su Xun could only pick up the bowl pitifully, and swallowed heavily while holding his breath.

"Cough!" He opened his mouth, and the bitter and sour taste rushed into his nostrils, making him cry bitterly, "This medicine, is this medicine wrong?"

How did it get worse?

He pointed to the heel of the medicine left in his bowl: "There are still medicine dregs in it!"

Xiao Buwen stretched out his hand, wiped away the tears from the corners of the little emperor's eyes with his fingers, and glanced casually, there was indeed some granulated liquid medicine left in the white porcelain bowl.

"Oh." He said indifferently, "The medicine was decocted by the national teacher himself."

It means don't play tricks and try not to drink it. No matter how bitter the medicine is, no matter how much dregs it has, it is the doctor's request.

Su Xun: "..."

Angrily, he drank the remaining medicinal root in one gulp, looked at Xiao Buwen and said angrily, "Traitor!"

If Xiao Buwen hadn't leaked the news, how could Qinghe know that he had secretly poured out the medicine before?

Xiao Buwen shrugged his shoulders, pinched the little emperor's swollen mouth after being angry.

Like a little squirrel.

"Don't touch... um." Just as Su Xun wanted to push Xiao Buwen away, he saw him stretch out his left hand, with an oiled paper bag hanging on his slender knuckles.

A faint sweet aroma came out of the oiled paper bag, and Su Xun couldn't help swallowing: "What is this?"

"Lotus cake."

In order to get rid of the little emperor's bad habit of not eating well, this time Xiao Buwen simply sent someone to watch the imperial dining room for twelve hours, not allowing any snacks to be made.Su Xun was so hungry for snacks that he drooled all night.

Looking at the shining eyes of the little emperor, Xiao Buwen felt that his desire for feeding that he had held back for several days was satisfied: "It's only four yuan, Your Majesty, save some food."

"... Does the national teacher know?"

Xiao Buwen laughed dryly: "Your Majesty, it's best to finish eating now, and leave the packaging to the servants."

That is, I don't know.Su Xun and Xiao Buwen looked at each other, and both saw the embarrassment in their eyes.

Well, now the sky is big and the earth is big, and the doctor is the biggest.

Su Xun unwrapped the oiled paper bag, and there were four exquisite and lovely snacks inside, which were no worse than those made by the Imperial Dining Room.There is a green hard candy pressed into the shape of a lotus leaf under these lotus cakes, and the top is divided into four petals, layered upon layers of shortcakes. The shortcakes gradually change from red to pink from the center to the outside. There is something interesting about the leaf-shaped small holder.

He picked up a lotus flower cake and put it in his mouth. The emerald hard candy at the bottom melted first, exuding a fragrance of lotus leaf, followed by the cake on top. Each layer of cake was as thin as paper and melted in the mouth, bringing A sweet aroma of lard and dairy products.Sweet, savory and vegetal notes are released simultaneously in the mouth for a very special delicacy.

"Delicious." Su Xun nodded, couldn't hold back and ate the second one, then looked at the remaining two lotus flower crisps, and pointed curiously at the lotus leaf-shaped hard candy under one of them: "This is white sugar. Is it made by adding plant juice after melting it?"

"Yes, this kind of colored sugar is very popular in Suiyang City these days. They buy white sugar and cook it themselves, and then use the juice of leaves and petals to dye it."

In the era without pigments, the colors extracted from plants were natural dyes. He looked at the translucent candy. Although the candy was not as beautiful as later generations, it still made him miss it.

"That's right." Su Xun nodded, very satisfied with the cleverness of the people of the Yu Dynasty.

After watching the little emperor obediently drink up the remaining few bowls of medicine, Xiao Buwen looked at the sky and said, "Your Majesty should also rest."

"Wait a moment." Su Xun picked up a letter that he put on the table. The thin letter paper was cut out by himself, and a simple seal was made with melted wax on the seal, "This letter , you send secret guards to secretly deliver it to Lu Feiming."

"General?"

Su Xun pinched the envelope, a look of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes: "The blood in Guofeng Pavilion will not be shed in vain, I will definitely make Meng Chao pay the price."

"It's time to expand the territory of the Yu Dynasty."
