Wine as Medicine GL

Next to the imperial city, the emperor of the empire dressed in costumes to welcome the triumphant return of the army.

"This battle was well fought." Chen Xunluo walked down the stairs, wanting to shake hands with Xu Zhuxi.

"It's my job." Xu Zhuxi knelt on one knee and answered seriously.

The emperor nodded and motioned to the guards beside him.

Konoe opened the imperial decree and announced the achievements and rewards of this rebellion.

The patriarchs of the two clans of Taming Machine were given credit for their merits, and they were awarded the title of Taiwei in the army, second only to the three generals in the army.

Xu Zhuxi finished listening silently, and was about to leave, but was left behind by the guards, "General Xu, please stay, Your Majesty is waiting for you in the main hall."

At this time, there were only two people in the bright and splendid central hall of the empire. Xu Zhuxi knelt and sat at the bottom, and the emperor stood beside the dragon chair.

"Two things, one family matter and one state matter, which one do you want to hear first?" the emperor asked while pinching the object at hand.

"National affairs come first."

"At the beginning, the emperor died suddenly in his prime, and he died two days after the tame clan was exterminated. This matter is very strange."

"Indeed, but at that time the funeral was kept secret, and the minister went to the frontier again.

Dealing with civil strife, after returning, the former emperor had already entered the imperial tomb, so the minister did not understand. "Xu Zhuxi analyzed objectively.

"I have been investigating, and I have come to a conclusion in the past two days."

"Please make it clear, Your Majesty."

"You come."

Xu Zhuxi stood up, walked in, and took the objects handed over by the emperor.

"Is this the clothes worn by the late emperor?" Xu Zhuxi looked at the yellow robe in his hand.

"Yes, it was found to be spider poison." The emperor paused and continued, "There is only one spider that can enter the palace and poison the healthy emperor."

"This is also very normal... the revenge of the extermination of the clan, as the patriarch's wife, she naturally wants revenge."

"When did she die? How could she command the natal beast to come here?"

"It should be killed on the spot with the patriarch. This spider should have its own wisdom."

"As far as I know, after the death of the master, the natal beast can't live long. How can it be done at such a long distance?"

"Does Your Majesty mean that there is an internal response?"

"It's still not clear, you can ask Ling Su, although I will not pursue the matter of taming the clan and killing the king, but I want to find those who were disloyal to the former emperor."

Xu Zhuxi nodded.

After a pause, the emperor continued, "The people of Tianxu Palace told me that my end is approaching."

"Don't listen to those mysterious words, Your Majesty's holy body is healthy, and the country is safe and peaceful."

"Before the emperor passed away, he entrusted me to listen to the words of the sky."

"Since that's the case, can they give a solution?"

"The destiny cannot be violated."

"That's really nonsense, I'm attacking Tianxu now."

The emperor looked at her blankly, "Do you want to defy the destiny?"

"Your Majesty has become more cautious when he becomes the emperor.

I can hardly remember that high-spirited young man back then. "

The emperor smiled.

"Okay, after discussing the state affairs, let's talk about your affairs." The emperor sat back on the dragon chair, "The previous emperor couldn't bear to lose your support and didn't mention the matter of marriage. Now, as your elder, I naturally want to help you." Happiness is in charge..."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern. I haven't met anyone I like yet." Xu Zhuxi interrupted him.

"I know that you have lost your lover, you are grieving, and you don't want to accept others, but people have to look forward, not to mention that as an important minister of the court, your private affairs are also very important, and you cannot make decisions alone."

"I would like to die alone, Your Majesty, please leave this matter alone."

"Are you so decisive?" The emperor couldn't understand.

"Yes." Xu Zhuxi replied calmly.

"Hey, I can't force you either. It's just a pity for those good sons who begged me to marry you." The emperor sighed.

"They will meet better ones."

"Okay, you go back, I will help you reject them."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Xu Zhuxi bowed and left.

"Go and tell Kuang Pujiang that if you want to marry Xu Zhuxi, you have to work hard on your own." The emperor said helplessly to the guards on the side.

At this time, Zheng Lingsu waited anxiously in the executive department.

As soon as she returned to the taming place, she was held back by Lu Ningtong.

"Master, my aunt is going to marry a machine clan."

"Who said that? Don't spread rumors."

"Kuang Pushu, she told me early this morning that the emperor had granted her a marriage. Seeing her complacent look, I really want to tear her apart."

"Impossible." Zheng Lingsu just proposed to Xu Zhuxi yesterday, and she obviously gave herself a chance, how could she marry Kuang Pujiang.

Can. . .Can. . .Can the emperor's order be defied?

Zheng Lingsu panicked all of a sudden, and threw down Lu Ningtong who was yelled at and bewildered, and ran directly to Xu Zhuxi's residence, but was told that Xu Zhuxi was left behind by the emperor.

Now, Zheng Lingsu had no idea.

Zheng Lingsu knows that she can't be called in love with Xu Zhuxi, but she relies on her. She can give herself an unparalleled sense of security. Zheng Lingsu has always been a young lady protected by her parents. She has no ability and does not want to become stronger. She Longing for someone to protect her, and this person must be Xu Zhuxi.

"Since you're here, come here. I have something to ask you." As soon as Xu Zhuxi came home, he saw Zheng Lingsu standing stupidly at the door, and greeted him.

Zheng Lingsu looked at her and followed her silently.

"You tamers, the master is dead, how long can the natal beast live?" Xu Zhuxi came to the wine cellar and filled the wine gourd.

"There is no exact time, it mainly depends on the relationship between the two.

The deeper the bond, the faster it will die. As far as we know, the longest is no more than five days. "

"What about your mother's bond?"

"what do you mean?"

"The first emperor was poisoned to death by a spider, do you understand?" Xu Zhuxi took a big sip from the wine ladle and walked out slowly.

When Zheng Lingsu heard this, he was silent.

"The emperor won't blame you, but the spider must have an internal response to enter the palace. Do you have a clue?" Xu Zhuxi found a big tree and asked, leaning against it.

"I don't know. I ran straight into the cave. I didn't know anything." Zheng Lingsu suddenly became excited.

Xu Zhuxi nodded and stopped talking.

For a long time, Zheng Lingsu couldn't help asking Xu Zhuxi who was drinking non-stop.

"You don't look too happy?"

"What do you think of the first emperor?" Xu Zhuxi asked slowly, wiping the wine stains from his mouth.

"It's amazing, it unified so many surrounding countries." Zheng Lingsu recalled the first emperor he saw at a grand ceremony. Throughout the history of the empire, he was indeed an extraordinary king, but he made a mistake in his later years and wiped out the Taming clan.

"The first emperor was bitten by a tiger when he was young. After the adults caught the tiger, he tortured and killed the adult giant tiger on the spot." Xu Zhuxi narrated the past of the late emperor.

"Why do you say this?"

"During the battle, the first emperor missed the battle opportunity several times because of the domestication of the tribe. Although the animals were injured and the loss of food and grass was caused, this was force majeure, but he didn't like the domestication of the tribe. Running around, the tamers can't adapt, no longer cooperate, and the alien beast is only used as a mount, and its effect is low."

"The first emperor has always had a character of vengeance, and taming the clan is like the giant tiger that was captured and lost its fighting power."

"Of course this was not the direct cause of the genocide.

Hunting down the divine beast, the head of the hunting clan made a promise to sacrifice half of the beast's body, which made him agree to be transferred from the army general. As a result, the army suffered heavy losses. Not to mention the blood admonishment of all members of the hunter clan. "

"I was also kneeling outside the hall, and I saw an uncle committing suicide with his sword." Xu Zhuxi handed the jug to Zheng Lingsu. "When the first emperor issued the order to exterminate the clan, everyone was like a lunatic."

"Lv Kuoqi, she..." Zheng Lingsu subconsciously took it, took a sip, shed tears from the hot wine, and asked.

"Where did you go wrong? The mistake was in protecting the Divine Phoenix. We were going to kill it, but you came to obstruct it and wanted to take it away. How could we agree? The two clans started fighting. Why are you only ten people?" It may have beaten our clan, but it gave Shenhuang a chance to breathe. It will die with us. I sensed in advance that I was going to take her away, but she ran to the side of the patriarch and immediately used herself as a shield. It's really cruel, I can't compare to her father after all."

"I don't know what happened at that time..."

"I know." Xu Zhuxi interrupted her and stood up. "I still have things to deal with, you go back."

"Do you have an answer to my matter?" After hesitating for a while, Zheng Lingsu finally asked.

"Let's talk about it next time." Xu Zhuxi didn't turn around, "I'll wait for you, the day I want to be with you."

"I..." Zheng Lingsu wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Mei Er who rushed in, "Bachelor Mo is asking to see you."

Xu Zhuxi followed Meier and walked towards the outer hall.

However, in a few months, Mo Yin lost her moistened appearance and became haggard.

"What's wrong with the bachelor? Did the children of the dignitaries bully you?" Xu Zhuxi knew the reason, but still joked.

"Fei Nan is getting married!" Mo Yingui couldn't hold back, and replied with tears in his mouth.

"Have you come up with a countermeasure?" Xu Zhuxi led her to the inner room.

"She wishes to elope..."

"You don't want to?" Seeing Mo Yingui's hesitation, Xu Zhuxi asked casually.

"I...you also know about me. I have spent so much energy on this bachelor's position. I don't want to give up unless I have to." Mo Yingui stabilized his mood, "She just married a businessman. With my official position, I don't want to give up." If it’s a man, you can get married in the open.”

"But you are not." Xu Zhuxi handed her a bowl of hot tea, "Why did you come to me?"

"I have no real power, but you are different. I hope you can put pressure on them to agree to my marriage with her."

"Everyone says it's hard for an upright official to break up housework, how can I force them."

"They just looked at Fei Nan's growing power, and wanted her to marry and monopolize the family property."

"Yingui, no matter what their purpose is, as an outsider, I have no position." Xu Zhuxi sighed.

"I know, I know everything, but you are my only friend. I have no one to talk about in this huge court." Mo Yingui broke down suddenly.

"It's not impossible. I use the name of cutting off their money. They dare not refuse, but getting approval is the most important thing." Xu Zhuxi gently touched her head.

"There is no need for any approval, as long as they don't obstruct it is enough."

Xu Zhuxi looked at her for a few seconds, "Okay, then don't contact Fei Nan these days and wait for my news."

"Okay." Mo Yingui froze for a moment, then nodded.

After seeing off Mo Yingui, Mei Er couldn't help asking, "What are you going to do?"

"Of course it's as simple as possible." Xu Zhuxi turned around and lay down on the bed, "I'm tired, don't let others disturb me."

"Yes." Mei'er agreed and closed the door.

"How long can you stay this time?" Lu Kuoqi stopped Xu Zhuxi who had just returned to his ancestral land.

"The battle in the south is tight, His Majesty asked me to recruit soldiers for a maximum of three days."

Lu Kuoqi hummed, and tugged at the corner of her clothes, "Aren't you tired from running around, are you going to take a bath?"

Xu Zhuxi had asked someone to prepare it, since it was Kuoqi's invitation, he naturally agreed.

Xu Zhuxi immersed his whole body in the warm water, relaxing his whole body.

"Zhuxi, what are you doing in Languo?" Xu Zhuxi asked softly in his ear.

"How many people were saved." Xu Zhuxi closed his eyes and replied with a confused mind.

"You obviously don't care about those untouchables."

Xu Zhuxi didn't answer, her breathing gradually became steady, and she seemed to be asleep.

Lu Kuoqi snorted and turned over into the bucket. Fortunately, the bucket was big enough and did not press Xu Zhuxi.

"Don't sleep." Lu Kuoqi muttered while helping her scrub.

Xu Zhuxi's body was also woken up by the cold. She opened her eyes and felt that the water was completely cold, so she casually put on an outer shirt and walked to the bedroom, and she was really shocked when she lifted the quilt.

"Kuoqi, why are you here..." She was still not dressed.

Lu Kuoqi closed her eyes, straightened up by feeling, wrapped her arms around her neck, and pulled her onto the bed.

Xu Zhuxi did not resist, and fell down following her movements

on the bed.

"What do you want to do?" Xu Zhuxi laughed looking at her tense expression with her eyes tightly closed and her lips pursed.

"This is my room!" Lu Kuoqi emphasized.

"Oh, then I'm leaving." With that said, he was about to leave.

Lu Kuoqi hurriedly tightened her arms, "Don't go! Sleep with me."

"Okay." Xu Zhuxi sniffed her scent, felt a lot more at ease, and lay down flat, brewing sleep, but due to the increasingly hot body around her, she couldn't fall asleep even more.

"Why did I have this dream again?" Xu Zhuxi woke up suddenly, feeling warm all over, seeing the sun outside the house was still bright, and went out.
