During the brief conversation, Xu Ruqing learned that Ye Beichen, like himself, was also involved in this imaginary era in the explosion. His identity in this time and space was the second prince of the Rakshasa Kingdom. This time he came to Dongyuan to find a people.

"Beichen, you said you would help me get the two medicines I asked for, but an hour has passed. How long do I have to wait?" Xu Ruqing looked at the sky outside through the window. Somehow she felt Faintly uneasy.

"It should be soon. Xufeng Qinggong is good. I believe I won't keep you waiting for too long."

Another half-quarter of an hour passed, and the wooden door creaked and was pushed open.

Xufeng walked in with two wooden boxes in his hand. Xu Ruqing opened them and saw that they were indeed the red Jinzhi and Xinyi flowers he wanted.

"I searched so many drug stores but couldn't find it. I didn't expect you to have it here. I really don't know how to thank you!" Xu Ruqing happily closed the wooden box.

"How do you say thank you? When did we become so polite between you and me?"

Xu Ruqing smiled: "Yes, then I'll treat you to dinner next time."

"I shouldn't be the one being invited to dinner. This medicinal material is not mine, but belongs to my brother, the prince."

Xu Ruqing was stunned for a moment when he heard this: "You mean...Ye Xiao?"

Ye Beichen nodded: "Well, you are also lucky. The prince happens to have these two people around him. As soon as he heard that you needed it, he gave it to you without saying anything."

"Then I'll treat you two brothers to dinner next time."

Ye Beichen just smiled lightly: "Okay."

After getting the medicinal materials, Xu Ruqing stopped staying. She found the carriage she came with and returned to the house not long after.

Zhiqu said that he knew that Xu Ruqing wanted to cook, so Su Yichen came back early today and was already waiting at Yelan Pavilion.

Xu Ruqing walked toward the small kitchen while talking: "You must be very hungry. Just wait a moment. My soup will be ready soon."

When I went there, I asked Zhiqu to simmer pigeon soup over a slow fire. Now I only need to wash and chop the two herbs and put them into the soup, and then simmer for a quarter of an hour.

Su Yichen followed her, with an unclear expression on his face. He could only feel that his eyes were filled with gloom: "Where have you been, and why are you back so late?"

"Oh, the soup I cooked was missing two herbs. I went out to look for the herbs, but it took me a lot of time. Fortunately, Huangtian paid off and I finally found it." Xu Ruqing handled it skillfully. Spread the marinade over the chicken, put it in the pot and pass the oil again. Finally, stuff the large and small side dishes and prepared herbs into the belly of the chicken, thicken the sauce and put it in the steamer.

In a quarter of an hour, braised chicken and squab soup were freshly cooked.

That's not all. She took advantage of her free time to cook another dish of steamed fish and several side dishes. The five dishes and one soup were just enough for a family of three.

Looking at Xu Ruqing's busy figure and the dishes cooked for him on the table, Su Yichen's current haze finally faded a little. "Leave the rest to my servants to take care of. Come and take a rest."

Xu Ruqing responded, wiped his hands with a clean handkerchief, and then came to the table and sat down. Su Yichen took a chopstick and put the tenderest part of the fish into his bowl. After carefully picking out the remaining large thorns, he put it into her bowl.

"I don't know what An'er is busy with lately. You eat first and I'll call him."

Xu Ruqing had just sat down on the stool and was about to stand up without covering up the heat. Su Yichen pulled her down quickly with quick eyes and hands: "I told him not to come to you if he doesn't practice the basic skills well. From now on, don't go to the Idiom Garden when you have nothing to do. , What does it sound like to spoil him all the time?"

Xu Ruqing was helpless: "Okay."

He took a sip of the thick white soup, which was mixed with shredded pigeon meat and fruit pulp. He could faintly taste the bitter aroma of the medicinal materials, but what was more prominent was the deliciousness of the soup itself. When he took one gulp, his whole body was filled with excitement. Feeling a lot more energetic.

Su Yichen said seemingly casually: "You behaved badly again today. I asked you to stay in the house, but you ran around again."

"Isn't this a need for treatment? In addition to giving you acupuncture and massaging your meridians, the rest is to drink various medicines. You are also afraid of the bitterness of the medicine, so I thought it would be better to use dietary therapy to combine medicinal materials and ingredients, so that you The experience will be better during the treatment process." Su Yichen was afraid of the bitterness of the medicine. Although he didn't say it, every time Xu Ruqing gave him medicine, he could always detect the bitter corners of his mouth and the resisting look in his eyes. It's not to blame that he couldn't bear the pain. It's fine to drink one or two doses of Chinese medicine occasionally, but if he drinks it every day, no one can bear it.

"Do you really think so?" he asked, the corners of his mouth rising.

Fortunately, this woman is not too heartless, at least she still cares about him in her heart.

"Well, eat it while it's hot. If you don't eat it, it will get cold." Xu Ruqing replied.

"Apart from looking for medicinal materials, you have never been to any other place or met anyone?"

Xu Ruqing finally understood. Fortunately, he went round and round, and the key point turned out to be here.

However, she still answered patiently: "Dongyuan doesn't have these two medicines, they were given to me by Mr. Bei...ye. These two medicines are very common in his country. I happened to meet him, so I simply invited him to a restaurant to drink them." Tea, he asked his men to bring me the medicine.”

Su Yichen was thoughtful, with a dark look in his eyes: "We just met him in the morning, and you met him again not long after we said goodbye. This Mr. Ye... is really haunting."

"what do you want to say in the end?"

Xu Ruqing's eyes were tinged with a hint of anger.

Su Yichen looked into her eyes, and his eyes were like a bottomless whirlpool: "I don't mean anything else, I'm just curious, a legitimate second prince doesn't want to wait for his Rakshasa Kingdom, just like his brother I always like to run to Dongyuan..."

As he spoke, his hand involuntarily touched Xu Ruqing's face. The delicate and warm touch made him addicted: "Recently, a war in the border area is imminent. The reason why it has not started is because the layer of window paper on the surface has not been pierced. Just wait. A fuse is about to break out. This Rakshasa Kingdom seems to be complimenting Dongyuan, but in fact it is secretly expanding its arms. Its strength cannot be underestimated. I don’t want my princess to be used by someone with ulterior motives at this juncture. "

Xu Ruqing smiled, but couldn't help but laugh in her heart. Was she afraid that she would be taken advantage of? Or does it mean that he doesn't believe her and is trying to remind himself to stay away from other people of the opposite sex?

Although Xu Ruqing's expression was calm, it was obvious that she was speaking angrily on purpose: "Don't worry, Beichen is not that kind of person. Besides, I am asking for help from him. Even if I am used, I am just trying to be someone else's pawn." .”

Hearing this, Su Yichen's eyes reflected a dangerous cold light, and his hand holding Xu Ruqing's chin tightened: "Beichen...when did you get so close to him and call him that? It seems that you and Mr. Ye are not the same as you What I said was just a few acquaintances."
