The government was sending out wives, and I ended up with a princess from the previous dynasty!

After hearing Jia Daoshi's words, Liu Ruyan smiled and said, "Chief Jia, since we parted, I have often thought of you, Chief Jia, and your wonderful stories. I wonder if I will hear an even more exciting sequel when I see you this time?"

Jia Daoshi laughed and said, "As long as Miss Liu likes to listen, I have many more stories to tell."

"That's wonderful!" Liu Ruyan bowed gracefully. "I thank you, Magistrate Jia, in advance!"

Jia Daoshi hurriedly supported Liu Ruyan's slender arm, squinting his eyes and smiling at her beautiful eyes: "Miss Liu, you are too kind. You are A-Li's sister, so you are my sister too. We are all family."

Seeing Jia Daoshi staring intently at Liu Ruyan, Shen Li suddenly felt a very strange sensation.

"This lecherous scoundrel, could he have taken a fancy to Sister Ruyan?" Shen Li thought to herself.

But as soon as she thought of a certain scene, Shen Li immediately controlled her mind and stopped herself from thinking about it any further.

Although she and Liu Ruyan had a good relationship, if she were to be asked to accompany Jia Daoshi along with Liu Ruyan...

That still won't work...

Actually, Shen Li didn't know what was wrong with her today. Whenever she saw Jia Daoshi making eye contact and talking to other girls, she felt a little jealous. She sensed that Jia Daoshi was interested in these girls and wanted to sleep with them.

Shen Li comforted herself, thinking that Jia Daoshi already had so many wives, and how could any man not be attracted to women like Liu Ruyan and Mingyue Xin?

Isn't she just asking for trouble by being jealous?

At this moment, Jia Daoshi said to Liu Ruyan, "Miss Liu, the journey must be tiring. Let's not stand here. Let's go inside, have some tea, and chat."

Shen Li also said, "Yes, Sister Liu, hurry up and go in. Tell me what's been happening in Kyoto lately."

As she spoke, Shen Li took Liu Ruyan's hand and led her inside.

Shen Li had Rouya apply the peach blossom mist as before.

This tea can refresh the mind and enhance one's abilities.

Most importantly, every girl who drank the peach blossom mist eventually became inseparable from Jia Daoshi.

"Sister Liu, this tea is called Peach Blossom Mist. Drinking it can even increase your internal energy. You should try it."

Liu Ruyan knew about Jia Daoshi's Mixue Ice Cream and the effects of the medicinal drinks inside, so she didn't think much of it after hearing Shen Li's words and drank it all in one gulp.

Sure enough, after drinking the tea, Liu Ruyan felt a warm sensation in her lower abdomen.

"Sister Liu, how long do you plan to stay in Cliff City this time?" Shen Li asked.

"I don't know yet." Liu Ruyan felt a little hot.

"Then why don't you stay here and help us?" Jia Daoshi suddenly said.

Liu Ruyan nodded readily: "Alright."

One of her missions this time was to monitor Jia Daoshi and uncover his secrets. She hadn't yet figured out what reason to use to stay, but Jia Daoshi directly asked her to stay, so she didn't have to come up with an excuse herself.

Hearing Liu Ruyan agree, Shen Li was actually very happy.

The pressure of fighting is immense, and she longs for someone to talk to.

Liu Ruyan's quick agreement surprised Jia Daoshi and no one else.

At this time, 500,000 Kushan barbarian cavalrymen from the north marched south. He was to assist Shen Li in defending the isolated city on the cliff. If he stayed here to observe, he would definitely be able to discover some of his secrets.

Liu Ruyan must have thought the same thing.

Of course, these are all just my guesses right now, and there's also the possibility that I'm just overthinking things.

However, this possibility is not high.

However, if Liu Ruyan were to report the situation here to the people behind the scenes, such as the imperial court or the empress, it might actually cause her some minor trouble.

There is a very good way to solve this problem: completely conquer Liu Ruyan and make her truly your woman!

Only in this way can the Empress's plan be completely thwarted.

Thinking of this, Jia Daoshi brought up Peach Blossom Mist again and poured a cup for Liu Ruyan: "Miss Liu, this tea can relieve the fatigue of the journey, refresh the mind, increase your strength, and help you sleep well at night. Drink more."

As he spoke, Jia Daoshi filled his own cup and drank it down.

Liu Ruyan really liked this kind of tea, and after listening to Jia Daoshi's words, she couldn't help but drink a few more cups.

She found that after drinking the tea, she felt very comfortable and warm inside.

The internal energy within the dantian has indeed shown signs of increasing.

"Jia Tisi, this tea is truly wonderful. It's called Peach Blossom Mist, and the name is beautiful too. May I ask what it's made of?" Liu Ruyan asked curiously. This magical tea was also part of the intelligence.

Jia Daoshi laughed and said, "This peach blossom mist is actually quite simple. It is made by using peach leaves, along with eleven kinds of Chinese medicinal herbs such as epimedium, dodder seed, and cistanche.

"I've made quite a few tea bags in the study. If you'd like some, just go and get them yourself."

Upon hearing Jia Daoshi's reply, Liu Ruyan had already decided in her heart that she would take a tea bag and send a message back to the capital via hawk.

After all, this kind of tea is extremely precious.

Improving one's skills simply by sitting and drinking tea every day is incredibly comfortable.

"By the way, I think I saw Ming Yuexin, the young general of the Ming family, in the city today." Liu Ruyan recalled the fleeting glimpse she had just caught half a day ago and felt a little curious.

“That’s right, Mingyue Xin is indeed in the City Lord’s Mansion right now. Sister Liu, do you want to see her? I’ll have Rouya call her over,” Shen Li explained.

The Ming family only sent Mingyue Xin; it's unclear what their intentions are.

Although Liu Ruyan also wanted to find out some information about the Ming family, she knew there was no need to rush into such matters, so she immediately shook her head and said, "No need, it's already late, let's do it tomorrow."

Moreover, at this time she realized that something was wrong with her body.

"Bang! Boom!"

"Bang! Boom!"

My heart seems to be beating faster.

A blush appeared on her face.

The next second, Liu Ruyan felt a blur before her eyes.

"Sister Liu... Sister Liu... What's wrong?"

"Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"

"Rouya, quickly get a room ready so we can help Sister Liu downstairs to rest..."

"Yes!"

……

After a flurry of activity, Shen Li and Rouya arranged for Liu Ruyan to rest.

Jia Daoshi returned to his study.

Liu Ruyan's unusual behavior just now was probably a reaction caused by drinking too much peach blossom mist.

There's definitely something wrong with this woman. He plans to have a deep conversation with Liu Ruyan tonight. In these extraordinary times, everyone must be honest with each other.

Just then, Shen Li came looking for her.
