After being dressed as cannon fodder, I feed tyrants by cooking skills

Chapter 212
The fox fur cloak that fell in her hands seemed to be a hot potato. Peiwen still remembered that Mo Xuan's fingertips were cold when they parted that day.

"Have you heard that the envoys of the Northern Kingdom will leave after noon?"

"So fast? Didn't they just come here? It is said that His Highness the Crown Prince became seriously ill after the banquet, and the northern country was even more severely cold. Are you going to drag your sick body back?"

Outside was the voice of the female envoy, and Pei Wen stood by the door and listened.he is sick?That's right, the wind was so strong that night, why didn't he freeze to death?Thinking about it, he moved the cloak on his arm closer to his bosom.

The people walking on the path walked hard, but the things they carried in their hands were well protected.She knocked on the door of Jiqing Hall.

The door was opened by a young face wearing a felt hat and a scarf. When he saw Peiwen, he first looked her up and down, and then his eyes fell on the precious fox fur cloak. He was taken aback for a moment, and then said plainly : "Without our master's order, no one is allowed to enter. Girl, I have offended you."

Can you enter casually with a piece of fox fur?Do they really think their masters are so close?The man showed displeasure. To be honest, he has seen this kind of trick a lot.

Seeing that the door was about to close, Pei Wen stretched her foot inside: "Go and tell your master that someone has come to return the fox fur cloak. If he refuses to let me in, then forget it."

The man's frowning frown faintly moved. He had seen a woman who threw herself upwards, but this was the first woman who persisted despite her cold face.It's good that their master has a good cloak, but shouldn't it be in the house?Hey, it seems that I haven't brought it back since I wore it that day.Is it possible...

"Si, let someone come in." A deep voice sounded from inside the room, and the man who opened the door gave way.

As soon as the curtain of the main hall was lifted, Pei Wen saw a man wearing only a middle coat with his long hair half tied up and pacing back and forth, as if he knew what the visitor was going to say in advance, he was a little impatient: "Lonely Didn’t I tell you all? You go back first, and Gu will arrive later. What kind of bullshit ceremony to sacrifice to heaven, can’t be held without Gu?”

It's not so much a ceremony, it's better to treat it as a festival.This is the most important festival of the year in the Northern Kingdom.According to legend, the founding king of the Northern Kingdom was born in poverty. He couldn't stand the oppression of the head of the herdsman and led a group of people to rise up.Being afraid of suffering, he couldn't bear to see the suffering in the world, so he held the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven during the coldest days of the year.

The so-called offering sacrifices to heaven is not the sacrifice of living people, but the most common cattle and sheep on the dining table. In those days, the highest management departments in various places would also open granaries to give out porridge and rice.This tradition has continued to this day, and the number of people who are too poor to eat has gradually decreased, and more people have offered their own food to pray for a good harvest throughout the year.The King of the North even moved the ceremony site to the gate of the palace, impressing the gods with sincerity to bless the weather and the people's well-being.

Because the ceremonies in previous years were all held by the most powerful people in the Northland.The envoys have been persuading him several times, but the rightful lord refused to go back no matter what.

"If it's still for this matter, please go back, my father is old and confused, but he won't even forget the ceremony, and there are still things to do in Dalu alone." Mo Xuan waved his hand and issued the order to expel the guests.

With a bang, the food box fell to the ground: "Since the prince still has something to do, I'll go back first."

Realizing that the voice was wrong, Mo Xuan suddenly turned his head, and stood in front of the door in two or three steps, momentarily at a loss: "Awen...why are you here?"

Why are you here?Peiwen also found it funny. The owner of the cloak said that there was no reason to take back the things he sent out. When she heard the maids say that he was sick, she brought things here without hesitation, and even brought a food box.From the looks of it now, that person looks good, and he still has extra strength to wander around the house. How can he look a little sick?

I can't tell what kind of mood it is, is it the anger after being teased by others or the disappointment of losing a game?Peiwen shook her head: "The prince has something important to do, so I won't bother you. If you enter rashly, please don't blame the prince."

"No, Awen." Seeing that she was determined to leave, Mo Xuan hurried to stop her, but unexpectedly bumped into the door latch, and snorted, "Um..." He covered his mouth with his hands and coughed a few times, his face was full of tears. It is the color of pain.

"You wore so little that day, so you must try to give me the cloak. I said no, but you put it on me hard, now it's fine, and you suffer." The question of not bothering me has long been thrown out of the sky, Peiwen helped him walk in and asked him where he was going.

Mo Xuan stretched out his finger and pointed at the chair. It is really uncomfortable to be uncomfortable, but it is also really happy to be happy.If the illness hadn't come on time, would Awen have taken the initiative to see him?cannot.

The hope is getting bigger and bigger, and he decided to make good use of it.

He beat his chest, looking as if he couldn't breathe, and wanted to touch the teacup with trembling hands, Peiwen quickly poured it for him when she saw this.Taking advantage of the girl's inattention, she sprinkled warm water on the clothes, and the teacup fell to the ground with her hand.

"Awen." Laughed feebly, "Gu seems to be... a useless person, and now he doesn't even have the strength to hold a teacup to drink water, why don't you help Gu again?"

How to help?Pewen looked up at him. "I just want to borrow your hand, please pass it to Gu's mouth."

But the girl pushed the new teacup in front of him and poured water again.He crossed his arms, showing no intention of helping him.

A person who was alive and well just now, who can even scold the envoys, now tells her that he can't even drink water?Lie a fool!The acting skills were too clumsy, and Pei Wen saw the flaws in it immediately.This is not the first time Mo Xuan pretended to be in front of her, back then...

As the saying goes, where you fall, you have to get up. If you fall into the same trap many times, you should gain experience no matter how bad it is.The hunting methods still need to keep pace with the times, but so-and-so has not improved at all.

Pei Wen felt that it was time for her to bring out her ultimate ultimate move.Open the food box and take out the bowl.This move fell into Mo Xuan's eyes and made him extremely happy.

"I've heard that the prince is ill, so I specially made Wubai Runfei Decoction with my own hands. It relieves cough and phlegm, clears the lungs and nourishes the lungs. Is the prince suffering from such a disease?"

Isn't that right, since I came back that night, I have been running against the wind and shivering from time to time when encountering the cold wind.What a shame that he has practiced martial arts for so many years, what he said is embarrassing!
"Almost." Of course Mo Xuan didn't choose to be honest, if Pei Wen knew that he couldn't drink that bitter soup, wouldn't it make her disgusted?Little did he know, in fact, Peiwen had learned the truth more than ten years ago.

"This is all my intention. The prince can only show his sincerity if he drinks it himself, and there is not a drop left. Otherwise, I can only pretend that what the prince said before is all bluffing me."

Facing Peiwen's see-through eyes, Mo Xuan felt that this time it would be difficult to end.
