Exile at the start? The princess is no ordinary woman.

Chapter 321 One and a Half Months

Similarly, Gu Nanzhi also sent Wu Huiwen a portion; as for the recipe, they probably remembered it by heart.

After all, Aunt Zhao and Wu Huiwen were watching when the meal was cooked.

These outsiders are easy to fool, but Jun Yanchen and his group, with their deep minds, are probably not so simple.

Some doubts will definitely arise in one's mind.

However, Gu Nanzhi didn't care. Anyway, she bought it from the uncle she met, and no one would know.

Besides, the existence of these things is beneficial to everyone. In ancient times, when resources were relatively scarce, people were probably overjoyed.

We'll find another opportunity to bring out the corn and let everyone plant it. Then we won't have to worry about not having enough food to eat, right?

As Gu Nanzhi sat alone, lost in thought, Jun Yanchen poured her a glass of water.

"Nan Nan Drinks Water"

Gu Nanzhi glanced up at Jun Yanchen. This man was so handsome that sometimes she couldn't resist the urge to take advantage of him...

"Thank you"

Jun Yanchen simply sat down next to her.

"Nan Nan, is there anything wrong with your body? Would you like Mo Bai to take your pulse and check you?"

Ok?

Gu Nanzhi tilted her head. What did she mean by that?

Jun Yanchen noticed her confusion.

"I noticed you weren't eating much earlier,"

"Oh, you're quite observant," Gu Nanzhi said, a slight smile playing on her lips.

"It's nothing, it's just that cooking produces fumes, and after being exposed to them, I can't eat much."

"Let Uncle Li and the others do it next time."

Upon hearing that it was because of cooking, Jun Yanchen didn't want her to do those things; she just needed to wait to be taken care of...

He was even considering whether or not to send two people...

"Well, I won't cook when I don't want to. Uncle Li and the others have improved their skills now, but tonight is something none of us have eaten before,"

Gu Nanzhi was certainly not the kind of person who would wrong herself.

"How was it? Was the food good tonight? You didn't seem to eat much,"

"It's delicious."

Jun Yanchen nodded. The food Nan Nan cooked was the best he had ever eaten, even more delicious than any of the delicacies he had tasted in the capital.

"Okay, sit down for a while. I'll give you acupuncture in a bit. You can have some late-night snacks if you get hungry afterwards."

"it is good"

After resting, Gu Nanzhi gave Jun Yanchen acupuncture again. After this period of treatment, the two had developed a very good working relationship, and Jun Yanchen was quite an obedient patient.

Since He Mobai and Bai Zang arrived, they have been present for every treatment. Gu Nanzhi wasn't worried about them watching, and she would even provide guidance during the acupuncture treatment and the waiting period before the needles were removed.

As the last needle fell, her words were enough to excite the group.

"The detoxification can be carried out in about another month and a half,"

"Really? Madam?"

"It only takes a month and a half to detoxify?"

They had no doubt about Gu Nanzhi's medical skills during this period of treatment, but she had never given them a specific timeframe. However, they had witnessed Jun Yanchen's condition firsthand.

Since receiving treatment from Gu Nanzhi, his body, which had been on the verge of death, has not suffered a single attack of the poison, something that He Mobai and Bai Zang had failed to achieve in several years.

Now that they've suddenly been given a month and a half, none of them are excited.

"Yes, a month and a half,"

Gu Nanzhi remained calm. If it weren't for needing to wait for the little pet she had nurtured with her blood, she wouldn't have spent so much time; she would have cured him long ago.

Well, the little pet, though it took a bit of time and effort, is almost done.

She needed to quickly neutralize the poison in her body; she didn't want to serve that little poisonous creature anymore. Gu poison was truly malevolent.

She feels like she's been affected a bit after raising her for so long...

"That's wonderful, that's wonderful, Madam Jun. Please feel free to ask if I need anything during this time."

The fact that Jun Yanchen's poison could be cured was the most joyous news they had heard. They wished it were only a month and a half later.

It seems like everyone is getting impatient...

"Nan Nan, thank you for your trouble,"

Although Jun Yanchen was lying down, his tender gaze lingered on Gu Nanzhi. A month and a half had passed.

At this moment, he felt somewhat conflicted. The poison that had tormented him for so many years could finally be cured, and he was naturally excited, but Nan Nan had not yet fallen for him.

Are they just going to let her leave their side like this, just because of their previous agreement?

.......

"No need to thank me, just continue to be a good patient during this time."

Gu Nanzhi remained calm, and once the allotted time was up, she removed the needles.

"Same as always, herbal bath, I'm off."

She left Jun Yanchen's room after saying a few words, and there was no need for her to be present afterward.

She stepped out of the room, and immediately heard excited murmurs from inside, undoubtedly from people overjoyed that Jun Yanchen could cure the poison. She smiled slightly.

These people... are quite nice.

Gu Nanzhi returned to her room, where Xia He had prepared hot water. However, she didn't use it; instead, she went directly into her spatial dimension.

Wooden bathtubs are nowhere near as comfortable as the bathtub in her villa.

However, after entering the space, she didn't rush to wash up or rest.

Instead, he checked the harvest from the few acres of land in front of the house. The potatoes he planted earlier have been harvested, and he plans to share them with everyone later.

The seeds that are planted next can be given out as seeds to everyone in the spring.

Hmm, very good.

"Xiao Bai, you're amazing! I'll give you a raise!"

Xiao Bai was speechless: "......"

Gu Nanzhi stroked Xiaobai's cold, metallic head, feeling a slight pang of regret.

"Little White, now that you've evolved, why don't you just become a person, or even a fluffy pet? Like those spirit pets on TV, then I could take you out and serve you. Sigh..."

Xiao Bai was speechless again: "..."

That was definitely too hasty!

"Alright, Little White, keep it up. Your master is going to wash up now. Go recharge yourself!"

The regret was only momentary. Essentially, Gu Nanzhi disliked trouble, and a simple, capable, and easy-going person like her suited her better.

No feedback is needed; just serve her wholeheartedly.

After a good night's sleep, Gu Nanzhi woke up the next day feeling energized.

Since the cocoa beans were dried and ready to be used for making chocolate, Gu Nanzhi personally supervised the roasting of the cocoa beans.

Then the laborious task of grinding the powder was assigned to others.

"Jun Yanchen, could you help grind the cocoa beans into powder?"

"it is good"

This takes time, but of course, we can't waste the burnt bits in the oven or stovetop, right? We'll bake some small cakes and desserts then.

"Summer lotus, flour, eggs..."

"Miss, what delicious food are you planning to make?"

"Make a small dessert. Go check if the matcha we picked earlier has dried. If it has, grind it into powder."

"Yes, miss"

Gu Nanzhi is getting ready to make some small cakes.
