On our wedding night, he personally sent me to the Regent's bed

Mu Wanyan: "Ahem, a cold. I accidentally caught a cold and my throat... is swollen."

Di Xiuyan smiled gently, as if he believed her words.

Bringing a cup of herbal tea, "Drink it."

There was an evil look in his eyes, "Moisten your throat, my Yanyan... is too pitiful."

Mu Wanyan drank it all in one gulp and thanked him gratefully.

Fortunately, I managed to get it over with. It was another day of competing wits and courage with the Regent.

-

Alchemy place.

Soon it was time for the most critical step in refining the Golden Sand Poison Powder: putting sulfur into the fire and then making the pill.

Everyone stared at the alchemy furnace in silence, with bated breath, except Di Xiuyan, who was staring at Mu Wanyan in a daze.

How could she be so beautiful?

Eyebrows like a new moon, eyes like autumn water, skin like cream, face like peach blossoms...

Swaying gracefully, swaying gracefully...

The key is that he is so capable, with level five skills, and can also make pills.

Di Xiuyan's Adam's apple rolled, his handsome eyes became complicated, and his breathing became involuntarily heavy.

Well, this girl belongs to me alone!

She is in such a good mood. I will go to the hot spring with her later... to consummate our marriage.

Mu Wanyan, who was concentrating on making the elixir, looked up and found that Di Xiuyan was staring at her with a disgusting look.

She quickly gave him a reassuring look.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. Everything is proceeding in an orderly manner according to the plan. I believe that the pill will be ready in no time!"

Di Xiuyan's smile did not reach his eyes.

Well, his plan is proceeding in an orderly manner.

finally--

The alchemy furnace was opened, and beautiful and bright red golden sand poison powder appeared dazzlingly in front of everyone.

Mu Wanyan tried it with a silver needle and alkaline water, and cheered: "It worked, it's very toxic!"

Her beautiful peach blossom eyes curved up, she took out a plate, and walked happily to Di Xiuyan.

"Your Majesty, the Golden Sand Poison Powder is finally ready, and it's very potent!"

Mission accomplished, now she can finally take Xiaotao back home.

Di Xiuyan didn't even look at the Golden Sand Poison Powder. His handsome eyes stared at her.

“My king’s Wan Yan… thank you for your hard work!”

His fingers were slightly bent, and the more calm his expression became, the more he wanted to devour the person in front of him.

Chi Yan, who was standing aside, completely understood what his master meant.

He brought a large basin of ink that he had prepared in advance, and poured it all over Mu Wanyan's head with a "splash".

"Brother Wanyan, well done!"

"Congratulations to Brother Wan Yan for refining the golden elixir!"

Watching Mu Wanyan wiping the ink stain while staring at him fiercely.

Chi Yan quickly grinned and said, "Don't be surprised, Brother Wan Yan, this is the custom of our Dafeng country. When there is a happy event, we always splash water!"

He shouted to the crowd, "Splash water, splash water, water brings joy! Splash water to celebrate, don't you agree?"

"Ah? Is that right?" He wanted other people present to respond to him.

Everyone: "..."

Except for Di Xiuyan who had an ambiguous smile on his face, everyone else looked at each other in confusion.

Muttering quietly: There is a custom of splashing water, but damn, who would splash ink to celebrate a happy event?

Di Xiuyan also stepped forward at this time. He took out a clean handkerchief and helped Mu Wanyan wipe the ink off her face.

A low, hoarse voice sounded beside her ears: "What should I do? My body is dirty too."

Mu Wanyan complained as she wiped it, "Why do you have such a strange custom in Dafeng? It's so uncomfortable."

Di Xiuyan's smile deepened, "There is a hot spring in my camp, I believe you know about it."

He lowered his voice and said, "Do you want to go take a shower together? Hmm?"

Mu Wanyan: "Well, ah?"

How could I possibly go to the hot springs with him? Wasn't it enough to soak in it yesterday?

I was almost scared to death by him.

Di Xiuyan took her expression in his eyes, and the corners of his mouth curled up even more.

He raised his handsome eyebrows and called Chi Yan.

"Chiyan, does the king have anything else to do later?"

Chi Yan quickly stepped forward, his voice was particularly loud:

"Your Highness, have you forgotten? General Gu is hosting a banquet at his residence today and asked you to come."

Chi Yan looked at Mu Wanyan, and his round eyes rolled around.

He added, "Doctor Gu is also at the General's Mansion today and has not come to the camp. I'll wait for you to play chess with him as soon as possible!"

Di Xiuyan was satisfied, Chi Yan performed well.

Except that the ink splashing thing was a bit excessive.

He bent down and handed Mu Wanyan a cloth bag.

Whisper in her ear: "These are clean clothes."

"The king has something to do today, so it looks like you can only go to the hot spring by yourself, Brother Wanyan."

He emphasized the last four words.

Mu Wanyan always felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't figure out where the problem was.

It was not until he saw Di Xiuyan turn around and leave that he finally let go of his worries.

She must have been overthinking it, the ancestor didn't notice her.

He took the clothes that God Xiu Yan had prepared for him and walked towards the hot spring cave.

Mu Wanyan didn't look closely at the clothes in the cloth bag. She thought it must be a simple medicine boy's daily clothes.

-

Soon, Mu Wanyan arrived outside the hot spring cave.

Although the dense forest here reaches into the clouds, it is sunny and windy today with clear skies, so the visibility is still excellent.

After entering the hot spring cave, she began to take off her clothes without even looking at her surroundings.

"The customs in Dafeng are really strange. Splashing ink when celebrating a happy occasion really broadens my horizons."

Take off one of your outer robes.

"Well, it's so uncomfortable to have all this ink sticking to my body."

Another outer robe was taken off.

"Chi Yan is really crazy. He has no defense at all."

The inner garment was also taken off.

"It's so uncomfortable, it's all ink..."

Mu Wanyan twisted her body and complained to herself: "It's a bit difficult to untie. Xiangqin tied the knot too tightly."

By the time she had taken off all the restraints and thrown them on the ground, she was already sweating from exhaustion.
