Ji Wushang wished he could stab him a few times with a knife!
Ji Wushang had no choice but to engage in several verbal battles with this perverted man in front of her! She was so angry that she was practically fuming, but the man in front of her was sometimes ruthless, cold, and bloodthirsty, and sometimes incredibly gentle!
No, it wasn't gentleness, it was just too cunning! This made me hate him even more!
Finally, he placed the teacup on the table with satisfaction. He was sitting by her bedside with his back to her, and said, "This is medicine to nourish your body. It's beneficial and harmless."
"You're just pretending to be kind!" Ji Wushang sneered.
"Think what you want." Yiyun stood up. "Are you hungry?"
Ji Wushang remained silent, thinking that he hadn't eaten anything that day.
"I'll go make you something delicious, so you can taste my culinary skills." He turned and smiled at Ji Wushang before walking out.
Ji Wushang closed his eyes. "Go to sleep! Let's see what he does when I'm asleep! I won't eat or drink, let's see what he does! Even if I die, I won't accept his kindness!"
After an unknown amount of time, Ji Wushang, in a daze, heard someone gently calling in his ear, "Wushang, Wushang, get up and have your meal."
"I'm not hungry." Ji Wushang didn't know who it was; he was already asleep, why would he need to eat! He immediately turned over and went back to sleep. The acupoints had, over time, automatically released their tension.
Yiyun Shangcheng looked on helplessly, glancing back at the noodles she had made. Hmm, it seems like a waste; this woman is utterly ungrateful!
That's all.
Yi Yun Shangcheng rolled over and got into bed. He watched her sleeping peacefully, without a shred of wariness, and sighed inwardly. But the next second, Ji Wushang suddenly opened her eyes. "Get off!" she shouted, immediately kicking Yi Yun Shangcheng off the bed with both hands and feet!
Yi Yun Shangcheng was completely unprepared for her and did not expect her to wake up suddenly, so she was immediately kicked off the bed by Ji Wushang!
He glared angrily at Ji Wushang. How dare this woman kick him out of bed?
Ji Wushang glared at him angrily. Seeing that he had already stood up, she immediately looked around, but there wasn't a single blunt weapon nearby for self-defense! It was infuriating! Ji Wushang, sees her embroidered shoes still under the bed, and without a word, picks them up and holds them protectively in front of her, saying, "Don't come near me!"
Yiyun Shangcheng forcefully suppressed the anger in her chest. How dare she be arguing with her while holding that shoe?
"Since you're awake, have some noodles!" he said coldly, then glanced at the table. This was something he made himself; it should be pretty good, right? This is the Western Regions; where would they find noodles? Wasn't it because he knew she might not be used to the coarse food of the Western Regions that he specially ordered it imported from the Great Xia Zhou Dynasty?
Seeing that he didn't come any closer, Ji Wushang put down the embroidered shoes in her hand. She would save these shoes for tomorrow, as she would wear them herself.
She glanced at the noodles; they were topped with greens and a couple of pieces that looked like braised pork, and they were still steaming hot. Could he have poisoned them? Or some kind of witchcraft? And did he even make this?
As if seeing through Ji Wushang's thoughts, Yiyun Shangcheng said, "If I were thinking of poisoning him, I wouldn't be so kind as to use noodles as a condiment!"
"Who did this?" She would rather die than eat anything he gave her. Yes, she should just sleep! But he's still here, how can she sleep!
"Um...it was made by a maid." Wouldn't it be a waste if she didn't eat it? Oh well, I'll lie to her for now. Making these noodles wasn't easy! In the dead of night, it's perfectly normal for a king like me to have a maid make a bowl of noodles, right? If a king were to make noodles in the middle of the night... well, let's not talk about that.
"I'm not eating, take it away!" Ji Wushang's expression changed, and he immediately lay back down on the bed. "Don't come near me, or I'll make you pay!"
"Hurry up and feed me before you go to sleep!" Yiyun Shangcheng said, holding the noodles in one hand and walking forward.
Seeing the city on high alert, Ji Wushang immediately held the embroidered shoe protectively in front of her, glaring at him fiercely, "Stop! Halt!"
"Eat!" he said through gritted teeth! Then he handed the bowl of noodles to her.
Ji Wushang looked at him, her eyes also filled with anger, "I won't eat!"
"Ji Wushang, don't argue with me!" Yi Yun Shangcheng's anger was on the verge of exploding. She didn't know that he was conditioning her body so that she could withstand everything that awaited her! He needed to restore her health so that he could completely transform her into the person he wanted!
He was very confident that he could improve the coldness in her body! After the first child was born, he would kill it and then have another child with her. With enough effort over many days, he would be able to conceive again easily!
Ji Wushang looked up at him, her eyes filled with hatred. He just loved ordering her around and forcing her to do things!
She pushed the noodles that were handed to her away with one hand, with tremendous force!
With a "smash!" the entire bowl of noodles crashed to the ground, shattering into pieces and spilling all the noodles!
Yi Yun Shangcheng was extremely surprised. He looked at the noodles on the ground, his face changing colors rapidly! It was the result of his hard work for more than an hour, and she was so ungrateful!
She stared blankly at his ever-changing face, realizing she had offended him... and that her temper was indeed a bit volatile.
Yi Yunshang turned her head, her gaze fierce and angry as she looked at Ji Wushang, her breathing heavy! His feelings at this moment were indescribable, conflicted and helpless! Sometimes, he felt utterly defeated in front of this woman!
Yi Yun Shangcheng raised her hand, and Ji Wushang immediately closed his eyes. Damn it, he was going to hit her!
Seeing her close her eyes and resign herself to her fate, Yi Yun Shang Cheng suppressed his anger and turned to walk over to the noodles.
Using large shards of broken porcelain to pack up the noodles, Yi Yun Shangcheng gave a light snort, glanced at Ji Wushang, and then walked out.
Ji Wushang opened his eyes after seeing no movement for a long time and found that the man had already left. There were still some noodles and small pieces of porcelain left on the ground.
She pursed her lips, tiptoed out of bed, and went outside.
But when she opened the window, she found that there were already countless guards outside! She had no choice but to close the window and then walk to another palace door. Through the crack, she saw that there was another large group of people outside.
Ji Wushang had no choice but to wait and see tomorrow.
Ji Wushang looked at the enormous Nixia Palace, thinking that he was familiar with all these places, and that he might come back again.
With that in mind, Ji Wushang walked around the Nixia Palace, finally finding a relatively dark corner where he sat down.
Hopefully he thinks he's already escaped!
Ji Wushang prayed in his heart, curled up, hugged his legs, and then slowly fell asleep.
Holding the soiled noodles that had fallen to the ground, Yi Yun Shangcheng felt a pang of sadness. He returned to the dining hall, where the guards, seeing him, were so surprised that they immediately became alert and bowed. However, Yi Yun Shangcheng seemed not to notice them and went inside.
"All of you, step back!" His cold voice rang out as the palace doors closed.
The guards looked at each other in bewilderment, but all quickly withdrew.
Their Western Regions king is extremely strange.
Why is that strip-like thing being held in Wang's hands?
Yiyun Shangcheng put the dirty noodles into the water, then scooped them out, rinsed them briefly, and put them back into the pot.
The noodles, after being cooked and then washed and cooked again, had turned into a clump of flour, broken and mushy.
As Yiyun Shangcheng looked at it, he felt as if something was blocking his heart, a feeling similar to suffocation, making it almost impossible for him to breathe!
He scooped it up with a spoon and put it in a bowl, looking extremely serious.
After scooping up a full bowl, he placed it on the table to the side, then sat down in his chair, picked up his chopsticks, and gently stirred the noodles. Thinking of picking them up, he suddenly realized the noodles were too broken to pick up.
He smiled wryly, put down his chopsticks, and scooped up a spoonful instead. His hand was trembling slightly as he scooped it up and put it in his mouth.
This was the first thing I'd ever made, and she was so ungrateful, even throwing it on the floor! She truly broke my heart!
Yiyun Shangcheng slowly chewed on the noodles that were being cooked, but she could no longer taste anything!
He swallowed, but unexpectedly, tears were already streaming down his face.
"Waaah, you need to be disciplined! You actually refused to eat the noodles I made..." He burst into tears without any regard for his image.
He choked back tears, picked up the entire bowl of noodles, and started shoving them into his mouth. "I'll eat...you won't eat, I'll eat...sob..."
He seemed like a child, never imagining that he was a man who only liked to talk about bloodshed and was determined to look down on the heavens and the world.
After putting down the bowl, he seemed like a completely different person.
Yi Yun Shangcheng coldly rose, her aloof figure stepping out of the palace and returning to her own bedchamber, never to enter the Nixia Palace again.
As dawn approached, Ji Wushang woke up.
He didn't come looking for me; I guess he left in a huff, which is good.
Ji Wushang rubbed his hands together, shivering, and then moved his limbs around. He hadn't even realized he'd woken up from the cold! He should have found more clothes!
Ji Wushang managed to stand up with difficulty. He had curled up all night, which had made his legs numb.
But at that moment, someone was talking outside.
This is a corner that's not easy to spot, near the temple gate, where you can hear people talking.
Ji Wushang was very fortunate that he easily learned some simple words of the Western Regions language here, so much so that he could now hear what people outside were talking about.
"Tell me, what's wrong with Wang lately? He's been acting very strangely."
“I don’t know either. Last night I heard from the guards that the king went back and forth to the kitchen hall twice by himself. The first time he came out, he was carrying a bowl of something I didn’t know. The second time he went in, he was carrying those broken tiles.”
"Yes, that's what my sister said too. You know my sister works in the kitchen, and she was on night duty that night. The king actually came in the middle of the night, which scared my sister to death. Fortunately, the king didn't say anything, he just told them all to leave."
"That's really strange."
"Perhaps it's because of the new queen. I've heard that the new queen has a rather eccentric temper and has caused the king a lot of trouble, but the king has been very patient with her."
"Don't say that. Never mind, let's hurry in and take care of the Queen. She's not feeling well, and the King has spent a lot of time working on her in the Alchemy Hall."
Ji Wushang immediately pulled his head back.
That pervert actually made noodles for me!
But I must leave this place!
She watched as the palace doors opened and several maids entered.
Ji Wushang covered his ears, and sure enough, the next second, he heard the maids shouting, "The Queen is missing!"
"Quickly, go and report to the King!" Immediately, the maids hurriedly searched for other places, while others ran out to report to Yiyun Shangcheng.
Ji Wushang's eyes were filled with excitement; his plan was about to begin! Unfortunately, he didn't know where his phoenix jade hairpin was. The only thing he wanted to get back was the phoenix jade hairpin that Nan Xuzong had given him!
Ji Wushang sighed.
Yiyun Shangcheng rushed in, his whole body exuding a fierce aura, and the people around him were in awe and dared not approach!
"Go find her immediately! She can't have gone far! If word gets out that the Queen is missing, you will all die!" He was furious.
"Yes." All the guards and maids around went to look for it.
Yi Yun glanced around the Nixia Palace. She had already assigned many guards to protect it; how could a woman with little martial arts skills possibly evade them? Even if she used a trick, it would be discovered immediately… But she couldn't rule out the possibility that she had used a method to enter the alchemy hall…
Yiyun Shangcheng strolled through the hall, looking at everything inside, slowly examining each item.
Ji Wushang's heart was pounding in her chest. She pinched her nose, trying to breathe as little as possible. She knew that martial artists were extremely careful about their breathing, especially someone as powerful as him. If she breathed too heavily, he would probably find her very quickly!
Ji Wushang thought of the fragrance on his body and wondered if Yiyun Shangcheng would be able to find him by his scent... He should burn some incense in the palace to confuse them.
Yi Yun Shangcheng's eyes were so dark and gloomy, his sinister gaze sweeping over the surroundings. With every step he took, Ji Wushang's heart almost jumped out of his chest.
He was about to get close to Ji Wushang's corner.
Ji Wushang's heart was in his throat.
"Your Majesty." Just then, a maid's voice was heard from outside.
