Chapter Seventy-Four: Medicine and Food

Lin Dai stepped into the room and closed the door, and the old atmosphere became more and more suffocating. She pinched her nose and looked at this boxy room, with no furniture, and a small window hole next to it, pasted with a veil from many years ago. There was a bed against the wall, and a cloth tent hung down, and the tent was ajar, so that the people inside could be seen.

The woman looked like an old lady with unkempt and gray hair...... But if it's really an old lady, why isn't the voice very old? I am afraid that I will suffer hardships, be sick, and grow old quickly. People are unlucky, whether they are in the official family or the royal family, they have to endure hardships as much as they do.

Lin Daihe asked her, "Who are you?" ”

The woman said, "My name was Green Star. ”

After these few words, he said no more. Lin Dai waited for a while, and found that she would not take the initiative to speak anymore, so he felt bored and said, "I just moved in." If you're tired, I'll go out first. ”

Green Star asked, "How did you move in here?" As if talking to himself, "Your surname is Xie?" ”

No! But...... Lin Dai Daqi reported his family history. Green Star Meng Ke became excited: "You are the grandson of Master Xie?" ”

"yes." Lin Dai said.

"He, how long has he been gone?"

"-I'm still alive!" is cultivating in the mountains, his body is tough, and he doesn't know how good he is, maybe he is secretly turning over the clouds and raining hands, and what are you doing? Lin Dai said: "How can you open your mouth and treat it as if someone else is dead?" When did you meet him? ”

"He ......," Lu Xing sighed, "How can a slave like me be qualified to know Lord Xie." ”

"Where did you go on an errand?" Lin Dai took advantage of the situation and asked.

Green Star muttered to himself, "He's alive." How can his granddaughter ......" suddenly remembered, please Lin Dai, "can you come closer?" ”

Lin Dai walked closer, and sure enough, Green Star discovered the resemblance of her appearance to Liuli. Green Star was so surprised that he almost didn't take his back on the spot: "Flowing beauty!" You-"

Lin Dai asked: "What did you have to do with the beauty in the past?" ”

Green Star said, "I serve the beauties. ”

Lin Dai said keenly: "Until she passed away?" ”

Green Star had a pained expression and did not speak. But that expression is clearly a resounding "yes".

Lin Dai asked again: "How did she pass away?" ”

Green Star still couldn't answer. Lin Dai didn't know how to read minds, and from her expression, she couldn't tell whether the beauty was cut by a knife or poked by a sword. After such a long time, maybe there is no point in asking about it. Lin Dai thought for a moment and said, "What kind of person is she?" ”

Green Star opened his mouth, closed it again, and thought for a moment. Sighing, he said, "It's all in the past." He lay down limply and coughed.

Lin Dai couldn't bear it and asked, "Shall I pour you some water?" ”

Green Star said: "No need. I have. ”

She placed a clay pot next to her pillow, and after filling it with water, she could drink the water in the jar for days in bed.

Lin Dai was shocked and said, "What should you do when you eat?" ”

There are uniform deliveries, but they are often cold and hard, uncooked, or paste, or even spoiled. So Green Star would rather do it himself. Fortunately, there used to be a kitchen next to it, and the stove was not removed, so I begged for some rice to cook porridge and some vegetables. When Lin Dai went to see it, the rice was good rice - all the tribute rice used in the palace was tribute rice, but unfortunately it was the turn of the place, not only to be old, it was simply put into rotten crumbs, only some rice shapes remained, and there was no aroma and taste at all. As for the dish. A little bit of meat that can't be said to be lean or fat, salted. A little vegetable, also salted. - That's it, Green Star thinks it's better than unified distribution!

It's just that the palace taboos everyone in the room to see smoke in the fire, unless it is a person with a bit of status who makes his own samovar, or the little smoke that burns incense and bakes clothes, and warms up in winter, is still within the scope of tolerance. Green Star has accumulated experience, and it is not easy to make a fire visible on foggy and rainy days, and in the faint color of the morning and dusk. After she got sick. I couldn't make porridge by myself for two days, because I wanted to drink it, but now it was daytime, and she advised Lin Dai: "Wait! Boil porridge again in the evening. ”

Lin Dai smiled bitterly. Wait a few more days and nights. She was afraid that she would not be able to learn how to cook on the stove. She needed not only a gas stove, but also a rice cooker! Who told her to come through the modern era?

There is also an ancient girl in her body, Lin Yusheng, but it is estimated that it is more unrealistic to expect her to cook than to count on Lin Dai himself.

Lin Dai was hopeful and waited until the main meal. The medicine and the food were all delivered, the medicine was for Green Star, and the rice was divided into two parts, one was half-cooked rice, and a spoonful of stewed vegetables with a suspicious smell. There is also a good meal and a good dish. The little palace maid who delivered the meal specially explained to Lin Dai: Good food and good dishes are for Lin Dai. Additional medicine and rice are given to Green Star.

Lin Dai looked at the good food, the quality was good, but the portion was small. Lin Dai had to smile bitterly: so stingy? Don't let her share it with the patient?

Lin Dai simply showed both meals to Green Star: "My food is good, but it's not enough for you." I can't bear to give it to you. I can't eat your portion. I couldn't stand being hungry. Also, I don't make my own fire and cook. ”

Green Star sighed, indicating that he understood. She didn't blame Lindai either.

Lin Dai's eyes rolled around: "I'm very curious......"

The wind blew the weeds growing between the eaves, and it rattled. Lin Dai said: "What did you do?" The emperor wants to torture you on purpose? ”

Green Star's expression let Lin Dai know that she had guessed correctly. She kept guessing, "But put me here, if I can't stand the torture of my conscience," grimacing, "it's good to you, what will you give me in return?" That's what the emperor can't get, and wants me to sell it in exchange for favor? A secret, presumably? ”

Green Star stared at her as if he had seen a ghost.

"Actually, the emperor doesn't have to deal with you like this at all. He has ten tortures and twenty tortures or something, you shouldn't be able to survive it. I don't think humans can survive it, so you don't have to pretend to be tough. Lin Dai said eloquently, "Why didn't he do it to you?" It can't be pity for you, right? Well, he doesn't really want to know this secret, this answer. He didn't really want to touch the inside story. But he was angry again. So you're going to spend it here? Lin Dai said, "So this secret is about Liuli." Am I right? ”

Green Star puffed out his cheeks. Lindai remembered a metaphor: it was like stuffing a big egg in your mouth.

Lin Dai said: "It's a pity that I'm here." I'm so much like a glass again. You all say that, and I guess I'm really alike. ”

Green Star's expression ...... Lindai remembered that the parable had a follow-up: it was as if the egg in his mouth hatched a chick.

Lin Dai said happily: "Maybe the emperor doesn't have so much patience with you." He asked me to come, maybe to let me discover for myself. Otherwise, maybe you will be tortured directly. To be on the safe side, why don't we skip those boring emotional dramas and heart-to-heart battles. You just tell me the answer? You're going to have to say it sooner or later, anyway. ”

Green Star's mouth gaps open - the last sentence of the metaphor finally works: the chicks are all chirping out.

Green Star spoke incoherently: "But you, you - you are really ......"

"It doesn't matter, take your time." Lin Dai comforted, "We always have enough time to talk." ”

Green Star grabbed the blanket in his hand: "You are really carved out of the same mold as the flowing beauty!" ”

Hayashiro shrugged: It seems that Liuli is not a very pleasant person.

Lin Dai is very self-aware.

The question is: does Liuli have it?

Green Star was about to say something. Lin Dai was about to listen to it. Green Star began to cough and gasp again. Lin Dai had to help hand her the medicine, and Green Star was not very happy to drink it: "I always feel that it is not good to drink it." Don't live longer if you don't drink it! ”

Lin Dai pouted: "People want to calculate you, where do you not start, and you will go to great lengths to burn medicine for you!" ”

Green Xingyuan also knows that this is the truth, if you stay alone for a long time, you will inevitably think crankily and lose your temper. Lin Dai laughed at her so much that she had no temper, and she drank it. Lin Dai had to put the bowl she had drunk outside and let others take it away. Green Star said quietly on the bed: "You are actually not as good-looking as a beauty, but you are meaner than her." ”

Lin Yusheng was not convinced in his heart, and the words came up one by one. Lin Dai didn't accept a word, and told Lin Yusheng to rest.

Lindai will quarrel, but only when necessary. Is it necessary to be noisy if it looks good or not, is it necessary to be mean? If you win the quarrel, will you have a tael of silver? She only urged Green Star: "Seriously." ”

Green Star fell into the memory:

She used to be called Green Slave. The name Green Star was changed by that woman. Flowing glass. What a quirky name. Changed her name so weirdly. Green Star would actually rather call himself a Green Slave.

But she has to admit that Liuli is born beautiful. So beautiful. Such a beautiful person seems to be born with power and willfulness. But it's strange that being so willful is not happy. He was wearing a neon dress, but his heart was as pale as a desert. Green Star remembered that she was so beautiful, tired, and bored in the ornate furnishings of a room, and murmured, "β€”Green Star, how can this be? The so-called ......"

Before the beauty finished asking, a palace man like a tiger and a wolf rushed in and escorted Liuli to be tried. Liuli is a beauty, and she finally has an identity, so they are still a little jealous - oh, it should be called "them". Green Star tugged at the corners of his mouth, this person was just an old palace maid, and a castrated eunuch. Are these people worthy of a "he"?

In this place, he is the only one who is qualified to call "him".

They took her to him.

They were cold, maintaining a basic politeness, but their fangs were already showing. If Liuli kicked it, they would have an excuse to unceremoniously show their paws at her. What made Green Star admire was that Liuli didn't give them this chance at all, and calmly came to him.

He was dressed in a plain robe, with a rhino belt, standing in front of the dragon case, twisting his eyebrows and asking her: "Do you wear a red dress that can only be worn by a queen?" ”

She wouldn't answer.

He patted the case: "Bold! I asked you something, and you dare not answer?! (To be continued.) )
