Chapter 37: Finding a hot spring pool to detoxify Concubine Xian
Before entering the small garden of Feng Wuhen's courtyard, Jiang Yimo said happily: "Your Majesty, I have developed an antidote for Empress Xian's Soul-Separating Drunk."
There was joy and pride in her voice when she spoke.
At this time, Feng Wuhen, who was doing morning exercises in his yard, heard her voice, immediately stopped, and walked quickly in the direction of the voice.
After taking a few steps, he saw a woman in a white gauze dress, carrying a small cloth bag on her body, with a neat single bun on her head and a white jade hairpin in her hair. She was running towards him with a bright smile on her face.
After a while, she came in front of him. Feng Wuhen saw that she was smiling so happily, and he also wanted to smile.
Feng Wuhen only now realized that laughter can be contagious. For example, he is now infected by Jiang Yimo's sweet smile.
"Momo, what did you just say?"
"Did I develop an antidote for Empress Xian's Soul-Separating Drunk?"
"Really? So fast!"
Feng Wuhen felt a little unbelievable.
Jiang Yimo thought he didn't believe her, so she took out a white porcelain bottle from her small bag.
"Well, this bottle contains the antidote for Concubine Xian. Your Majesty, please open it and take a look."
Jiang Yimo said with pride.
Feng Wuhen took the antidote from her hand impatiently and carefully unscrewed the cork. A refreshing medicinal fragrance with a slightly sweet scent wafted into his nose, making people feel refreshed.
Feng Wuhen couldn't help but praise: "This antidote smells really good!"
These antidotes are the size of soybeans and black in color. She also prepared several of them, probably to be prepared for any unexpected event.
"Of course, let's see who developed the antidote."
At this time, Jiang Yimo was a bit like a proud peacock.
However, there was no trace of affectation in her clear eyes, because she had real talent.
"Yeah, Momo is the best!"
Feng Wuhen looked at her proud expression and praised her as well.
Her big, twinkling eyes, which are both lively and cunning, are full of spirit and are really beautiful. Her small and delicate nose and tender, rosy cherry mouth are also very cute.
He couldn't help but reach out and rub her forehead, with a hint of doting in his eyes. Jiang Yimo looked up at him and met his gaze. They were both stunned for a moment, as if time had stopped.
After a long time, Shadow's voice came from a distance, and the two of them looked away awkwardly.
Shadow walked quickly to the two of them and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, the Queen has sent someone to urge you and Miss Jiang. She wants you to go over earlier."
"Okay, you go out and talk to the servant, we'll be there right away." Feng Wuhen responded, and then Shadow quickly retreated.
Feng Wuhen put the lid on the bottle of antidote and returned it to Jiang Yimo.
Jiang Yimo took the antidote and threw it directly into her small bag.
At this time, Feng Wuhen slowly said: "Let's go over there."
Jiang Yimo stopped him.
"Wait, Your Majesty, I have something else to tell you, about the matter of detoxifying Empress Xian."
"What's wrong?" Feng Wuhen was a little confused.
"It would be best to find a place with hot springs to detoxify Empress Xian, because during the detoxification process, her whole body will become cold and she will have convulsions."
Jiang Yimo could only explain it to him briefly.
"But it's the hottest time of the year now, the sun is scorching, do you still want to take a hot spring bath?"
Jiang Yimo listened and nodded slightly, saying with a very sure tone: "Yes!"
"Okay, but there is no hot spring pool on our island. There should be one in Haicheng. I will send someone to Haicheng to inquire about it immediately and take my mother there to detoxify as soon as possible." Feng Wuhen replied.
Afterwards, Feng Wuhen immediately arranged for two people to go to Haicheng to inquire where there was a hot spring pool.
After a while, Jiang Yimo and Feng Wuhen went to Concubine Xian's residence together.
As soon as the two of them stepped into the garden, they looked up and saw Concubine Xian guarding her door.
These past few days, because Concubine Xian would drink a cup of heat-clearing and detoxifying tea prepared by Jiang Yimo before going to bed, she no longer needed acupuncture, and she could stay awake for two hours every day.
Even though she still fell into a fake sleep two hours later, she was much stronger now, which was a very good sign.
Today she woke up early again, washed and dressed, waiting for Feng Wuhen and Jiang Yimo to come and play with her.
When Empress Xian saw the two of them, she immediately smiled and called them over.
"Momo, Hen'er, you are finally here. Mother made mung bean cakes for you this morning. Come quickly and try them."
When Feng Wuhen heard Concubine Xian say that she had prepared food for them, he shuddered with fear.
Jiang Yimo had just met Concubine Xian not long ago and did not know her cooking skills, but Feng Wuhen was very clear about his mother's cooking skills. He did not need to look or think about it, the sweets made by his mother were absolutely "quite amazing".
Empress Xian smiled happily, and Jiang Yimo and Feng Wuhen couldn't bear to refuse her.
Both of them quickened their pace and came in front of her. Then, Concubine Xian took the initiative to hold Jiang Yimo's hand and walked into the house. Feng Wuhen followed closely behind them.
When the three of them walked into the house, they saw a plate of green pastries on a small table. They looked delicious.
"Come, Momo, Hen'er, come and try the cakes made by mother."
After Empress Xian finished speaking, she pulled Jiang Yimo to sit down, reached out to pick up a small piece of cake from the table, and was about to feed it into Jiang Yimo's little mouth.
Feng Wuhen's expression suddenly became nervous, and sweat broke out on his forehead. He kept thinking in his heart: The mung bean cake made by his mother this time looks quite good. I hope his mother's cooking skills have improved a lot.
At this time, Feng Wuhen had been staring at the expression on Jiang Yimo's face. She opened her mouth and took a small bite of the mung bean cake. Her mouth moved twice and her brows frowned slightly. She didn't know whether to spit it out or swallow it. However, she finally swallowed it into her throat, and then the expression on her face returned to normal.
Empress Xian looked at her expectantly.
"Momo, how is it? Is the mung bean cake I made sweet?"
Hearing this, Jiang Yimo's face opened up into an unnatural arc, and she asked with a smile: "My queen, have you eaten the cakes you made?"
Concubine Xian shook her head and said with a smile: "How can I bear to eat it? There are only a few pieces."
She spent the whole morning making mung bean cakes. She didn't know how many big pots she burned in the kitchen and how many mung bean cakes that looked like black charcoal she made before she picked out a few decent ones for her son and her future daughter-in-law to eat.
When Jiang Yimo heard what Concubine Xian said, a variety of expressions appeared on her face in an instant.
Then, she glanced at Feng Wuhen with a cunning look in her eyes, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, the mung bean cake made by the queen is not bad, you should try it too."
After saying that, she picked up another piece of mung bean cake from the plate and put it into Feng Wuhen's mouth herself.
Feng Wuhen didn't want to eat what his mother had made, but when he saw that it was something that the little woman he loved was feeding him personally, he would happily eat it even if the cake contained poison.
