The Emperor was kissed by the Regent and cried again

Qingshan Village.

Shen Jingli sat on a stone bench pounding medicine with a focused expression.

Qiu Zhize sat aside drinking alone. He was so drunk that he would howl to the sky from time to time.

"what!"

"Ahhh!!"

……

As long as Shen Jingli ignores Qiu Zhi for a while, he will start howling like a ghost...

Shen Jingli's hand paused, and she looked at Qiu Zhi helplessly.

Hmm…? What happened?!

The more I look at it, the more something seems wrong...

Shen Jingli blinked, she propped up her chin and looked at Qiu Zhi carefully.

He...seems to have lost a lot of weight...

Also, his dark face has become much whiter and is now bronze in color. In fact, Qiu Zhi's facial features are not only regular but also very three-dimensional.

At first glance, he looks a bit like a mixed-race tough guy.

"what!!"

Qiu Zhi howled again, pulling Shen Jingli back to his senses: "Master Qiu...can you please shut up first? You are seriously affecting me!!"

Qiu Zhi drank wildly from the wine flask: "What... is Lord Qiu? Who is... Lord Qiu!?"

Shen Jingli pointed at his nose: "You!!"

Qiu Zhi was very drunk, his face had already turned red, he murmured: "Actually... I haven't been an adult for a long time..."

After saying this, he began to beat his chest in grief again: "It turns out that I am not worthy..."

Shen Jingli's ears were almost callused by this sentence. A bitter smile appeared on the corner of her mouth: "You deserve it! You deserve it! You are a match made in heaven!!"

Qiu Zhi suddenly shuddered, and he straightened his back abruptly: "Oh!? You said there is a fairy... to match me?"

"My favorite is... the pretty little fairy~"

He looked around expectantly: "Where is it? Where is it...?"

Shen Jingli held his forehead with his hand: "Master Qiu, if you are drunk, go back to sleep. Do you want me to take you back to your room?"

Qiu Zhi hung his head, looking bored: "No, no, no... That little fat girl always comes to pick on me, or... It's quiet here, and there's a... faint... herbal fragrance..."

“It gives me peace of mind…”

"Please do as you please..."

……

Shen Jingli ignored Qiu Zhi for just a cup of tea before he started to get angry again.

"Oh my god!"

"You are unfair~"

Shen Jingli's face was full of black lines.

Oh my god, why is he singing again! ?

It's really ugly!!

Shen Jingli stopped what she was doing. At this moment, she really wanted to knock Qiu Zhi unconscious! !

……

Qiu Zhi was tired of singing and started drinking again. His head was dizzy and his drunken state made him miss home involuntarily.

"what!"

"mother!!"

"I want to go home!!"

Shen Jingli: “…”

Amid a shrill roar, Shen Jingli tore off a piece of paper, crumpled it into a small piece, and used it as an earplug.

He is unemployed and frustrated, so let him cry all he wants.

……

Qiu Zhi howled like a wolf for a long time, but got no response. He felt as powerless as if his fist was hitting cotton.

He held the medicine jar and looked at Shen Jingli with drunken eyes, "Why... don't you comfort me...?"

Shen Jingli took off his earplugs, "What did you say!?"

Qiu Zhi's tears came suddenly, and he cried until he coughed: "Wuwu... cough... I beg for comfort..."

Shen Jingli had no choice but to help him smooth his back: "I tried to comfort him, but it was useless. You still kept crying."

This guy has the face of a tough guy, but the attributes of a crybaby!

Qiu Zhi wiped away his tears and said, "So you...will just ignore me?"

Shen Jingli handed the freshly prepared medicine to Qiu Zhi, "I'm not ignoring you. Here, it's for you."

Qiu took the medicine bowl and sniffed it. He quickly pinched his nose and said, "I feel like vomiting. What the hell is this?"

"It tastes really good, want to try it?"

"But it smells...not good..."

"Stop talking so much! Just drink it in one gulp!"

Qiu Zhi nodded obediently and drank it in one gulp.

Then he fell into a deep sleep on the stone table.

Seeing this, Shen Jingli nodded with satisfaction, and her ears were finally quiet.

Polygonum multiflorum is indeed a herb with extremely strong hypnotic power.

……

Time passed quickly and night fell in the blink of an eye.

Shen Jingli looked at Qiu Zhi who was still sleeping soundly and felt a little guilty.

It seems like... the drug is too strong.

At this moment, Gao Yunyi came. He shook Qiu Zhi and asked, "How much did he drink?"

Shen Jingli smiled awkwardly: "A lot. He probably won't wake up until tomorrow. I'm curious, has his mental state always been like this?"

"Yes, ever since he came to Qingshan Village, he has lost his appetite and has become increasingly thinner."

Gao Yunyi sat down next to Shen Jingli and continued, "Also, there was never a day when he didn't drink. When he drank, he would yell and scream... and sometimes cry."

"..."

"Let's not talk about Lord Qiu for now. Look, what is this?" Shen Jingli placed a small porcelain bottle in front of Gao Yunyi.

He reached out and picked it up: "What is this?"

"Smell if it smells good."

Gao Yunyi opened the lid and took a closer sniff: "Smells good! Is it the smell of tuberose?"

"Yes, this is the tuberose flower dew I extracted. It has a subtle fragrance, right?"

Gao Yunyi nodded: "It does smell good, but I'm not very interested in fragrant things. You can keep it for yourself."

"How can you be even dumber than me? There is a shortage of money in the village. You can use the flower dew to make money."

Gao Yunyi was confused: "Make money? How do you make money?"

Shen Jingli opened the tattered book and pointed at the content in the book. "Look... using this cultivation method, we can make tuberose bloom all year round and produce high yields!"

"Anyway, what Qingshan Village lacks the least is manpower. You can plant tuberose on a large scale first, extract the flower dew after it matures, and finally sell it!"

Gao Yunyi nodded: "It sounds... quite reliable. Then I will let them not have to do odd jobs, and we can all grow tuberose together!!"

Shen Jingli disagreed with this move. She said, "Don't worry. The method of planting is very simple. You can ask the elderly people in the village to do it for you first."

"It's not too hard to grow tuberoses. They can rest when they are tired. It's boring for elderly people to lie down all year round, and they are prone to illness. Let them get up and grow flowers, and stretch their muscles at the same time."

Shen Jingli found a piece of paper on the stone table and handed it to Gao Yunyi: "This is the method for refining tuberose flower dew. The purification technology is a little complicated, so it is more appropriate to let young people do it."

"Later, we can take this bottle of flower dew to the market to find out the market price."

Gao Yunyi picked up the paper and felt warm in his heart.

He really has a heart!!

Brother Shen must know that... the village is now in a situation where it cannot make ends meet, and he is helping Qingshan Village find a way to make money! !

Gao Yunyi suddenly looked at Shen Jingli with a face full of affection: "...We should both be the ones at the bottom, otherwise...you try to stand up, and we can get by together."

Shen Jingli brainstormed for a moment, and when she realized what was going on, she almost dropped her jaw.

"Ah?!? Stop it, there's absolutely no chance between us! I don't like your style!!"
