My husband, please respect yourself. The princess is here to grab the bride.

Chapter 198: The poison has lost its effect?

Luo Mu's hand holding the wine glass was shaking slightly.

The 'Qianzui' that Shang Baiyi gave him was not put in this wine pot, but he asked his wife to put it in these dishes.

He talked a lot today.

It's not because he talks too much.

This was just him wanting to keep talking to cover up what was in his heart...

Is it fear?

Or guilt?

Maybe both.

He was terrified that he had done such a big thing. If the King of Zhenxi had not died, his son-in-law and son would have died in his hands.

Given the temperament of the King of Zhenxi, there is no chance of survival even if he escapes to the ends of the earth.

It doesn't matter if I die.

But my wife and daughter... I'm afraid they won't be able to escape death either.

As for guilt, Luo Mu asked himself, he had been a simple soldier for half of his life.

Whether he was a soldier or a so-called general, he considered himself qualified.

He joined the northern frontier army as a soldier. During training, he was always ranked second because Wei Buyi always ranked first.

He often ranked second in killing enemies, with Wei Buyi still first.

But he never felt jealous.

Because he knew that Wei Buyi was more hardworking and more reckless than him.

Both of them were selected to join General Lou's personal guard, and this is how they have come to where they are today.

Although the days were monotonous, these decades passed like this.

In Fengling Pass, as he said, it is a very stable home.

I did have some ideals once.

When you join the army, you ultimately want to become a general.

But there is no possibility of war at Fengling Pass, so there will be no military merit.

The general could definitely not be relied upon. He had already figured it out and decided to live out his life here... and retire.

But Shang Baiyi happened to come!

Those words moved him.

He had once dreamed of becoming the general of the northern frontier army.

Although I am not as good as Wei Buyi, I should be able to do the job better than those incompetent generals in the eastern and southern border armies.

The most important thing is that in this way, he can become the confidant of His Royal Highness the Third Prince.

The Third Prince's faction has already gained the upper hand in the court, so there won't be many changes in his ascension to the throne.

Then if I was really appointed as the general of the northern border army, my wife who had lived a poor life with me all these years would be able to live a good life.

My daughter...she doesn't like studying, maybe I can ask the emperor to grant her the title of princess.

He finally gave up his conscience.

I also tried to forget that night in the tavern at the foot of Mount Shu.

He strongly hinted to himself that the King of Zhenxi would die in the Western Wilderness.

Wei unexpectedly died in prison.

He was the only one left among the three people drinking in the tavern.

Let’s do this last vote!

Naturally, he didn't notice Bai Shaoqiu's actions.

He greeted enthusiastically again:

"Come on, let's have a drink together before we eat!"

"Although these dishes may not look good, I would say that even you, my Lord, would hardly be able to taste them in the palace. These are genuine mountain delicacies, the freshest."

Eunuch Wei was also very happy.

He has no hobbies in his life except eating.

So everyone drank a glass of wine together.

Eat vegetables!

Everyone, including Bai Shaoqiu, was eating!

Because the Prophet did not change color with these dishes.

Zou Kongqing said that there is no poison in the world - not even the four most deadly poisons in the world - that can escape the detection of the prophet, so... this General Luo is a real man of character and emotion!

Just because of that night of drinking at the foot of Mount Shu twenty years ago, he really treats these people as his nephews!

Although the dish doesn’t look good, the ingredients are extremely fresh.

The cooking method is also very simple, which preserves the original flavor of the ingredients.

"good to eat!"

Bai Shaoqiu praised, "Auntie, you have great cooking skills!"

"I'm really hungry, so you're welcome!"

Bai Shaoqiu ate with relish.

Eunuch Wei naturally refused to be outdone.

That silly brother-in-law Dongfang Meng... he was eating so much that his originally slightly dull eyes were shining!

On the contrary, Dongfang Xun was a little reserved, but he also ate a lot.

Luo Mu felt relieved.

He drank and ate with Bai Shaoqiu and others, and talked about stories about his time in the northern border army.

In just half an hour, the table full of delicious dishes was eaten up.

I also drank a jar of wine.

not much,

But Bai Shaoqiu and the others had already eaten and drunk their fill.

You can't go to bed right away.

According to Shang Baiyi, this 'Qianzui' will take effect within half an hour after consumption. It has been taken for almost half an hour, so the time for it to take effect is very close.

"Drink tea!"

Luo Mu waved his hand and said, "Let me tell you, this tea is nameless. My wife picked it from Fengling Mountain and kneaded it by herself."

"When I was serving as a personal guard for General Lou in the Northern Frontier Army, I once secretly drank the fine tea that General Lou treasured."

"Something called Mingqian Rain Silk?"

"But now it seems that I think the tea made by my wife tastes better than his Mingqian Yusi!"

As he spoke, Luo Mu brought Bai Shaoqiu and the other two to the pavilion in the courtyard.

Night had fallen, and guards hung lanterns in the pavilion, while other guards brought all the necessary tea sets.

It is also very rough, showing the military characteristics.

There is no particular way to make tea, Bai Shaoqiu doesn't care about it.

Eunuch Wei was quite disgusted at first, but after smelling the fragrance of tea in the cup, his old eyes suddenly lit up.

He picked up the teacup, put it to his nose and took a deep sniff. After a moment, he took a sip.

His eyes became brighter and brighter!

“Good tea!”

After blowing on it, he drank the tea in the cup in one gulp: "Real good tea!"

"Just now you said that the raindrops before the Ming Dynasty are the offerings in Jiangnan tea."

"The Emperor once gifted me one ounce of tea, which he treasured immensely, and believed to be the best tea in the world."

"I've tried the tea your wife made... I'm sorry to say this, but this tea is much better than the tribute tea!"

"The Emperor will surely like it,"

"General Luo, have your wife prepare some for me. I will present it to the Emperor after I return to the palace."

"If the Emperor is pleased... General Luo, you will become rich!"

Luo Mu was stunned when he heard it.

Of course he knew what Eunuch Wei meant by this—

If the emperor liked this tea, gave it a name, and included it in the royal tribute, such wealth and honor would be something that Luo Mu had never dreamed of.

How much money will you earn?

Luo Mu didn't know.

But his Luo family will definitely turn things around from now on.

Royal merchant...

Looking at Xingguo, there are only six major imperial merchants.

That would be great honor and untold wealth.

The key point is that there are many tea trees in Fengling Mountain, but only her wife knows how to make tea.

but……

This tea cannot enter the palace for the time being!

They don't know that death is approaching.

"Well...thank you for your kindness, eunuch. I will ask my wife to prepare more for you."

"It's not worth much. If you like it, I will burn some for you every year."
