At this moment, Zhou Linghuai had already put on his shoes.

Yu Youyao quickly asked, Cousin, how do you feel now? Does your leg hurt

Zhou Linghuais expression relaxed, and his faint frown relaxed. The pain has lessened by half. I think that if I use it every day in the future and add in some internal medicinal wine to adjust it, my leg disease will be mostly be cured.

When Yu Youyao heard this, she couldnt help but call Chun Xiao over. Hurry up and bring me the jar of medicinal wine I placed in the incense room.

Zhou Linghuai was stunned. Didnt you say that the medicinal wine can only be drunk after a few days?

Yu Youyao said, Its written on the prescription that its the best to drink after ten days. However, the medicinal wine has spiritual dewdrop in it, so the effect will definitely be good. Cousin, drink it and see how effective it is. Its fine for me to brew some more.

After a while, Chun Xiao brought over a small jar of Myrrh Wine.

The Myrrh Wine was brewed with the best Shanxi distilled wine. The color was light red and crystal clear.

Zhou Linghuai drank a cup. The taste was mellow and fragrant, with the bitter fragrance of Myrrh and taste of frankincense. It was a little like the milk wine he had drunk in Youzhou in his early years. It was pretty good.

The wine was slightly strong. When it entered his throat, it was smooth. After entering his stomach, he felt as if his stomach was on fire.

Although Zhou Linghuai did not like to drink, it did not mean that his alcohol tolerance was bad.

In fact, he was already in the army when he was nine years old. He ate meat and drank wine with the veterans. His mother would still discipline him, but his father did not think much of it. He felt that as a man, drinking some wine was nothing.

He had completely forgotten that his father was a real man. When he drank outside, he never drank more than three rounds.

Whenever someone tried to persuade them to drink, they would say that there was a shrew at home.

Anyone who knew what was good for them would not dare to persuade him anymore.

After all, persuading people to drink was one thing, but it was too much to make people not get along with each other.

People would tease him for not knowing how to have fun. However, his father wasnt afraid to retaliate. Drinking is harmful to the body. My wife cares for me so how could I not know any better?!

Upon hearing this, the others also knew

Forget it, King You was under his wifes control. This was like Zhou Yu beating Huang Gai up- one was willing to hit, and the other was willing to suffer. He was completely hopeless.

If they continued to persuade him, they would only be asking for trouble.

If they were at home, his father would not even dare to touch a drop of wine.

Of course, he would also secretly hide some wine behind her back. Occasionally, he would secretly drink a small gla.s.s to satisfy his cravings.

His mother also turned a blind eye.

The cup of wine was not intoxicating. The moment the wine entered his stomach, his spirits were lifted. He could not help but feel a little tipsy.

Zhou Linghuais face was also filled with charm. His lips were like pills, and he felt relaxed. Unknowingly, he became a little lazy and revealed a seductive expression.

In particular, his eyes were filled with endless emotions. It was as if they were extremely beautiful and revealed a demonic aura.

This was the first time Yu Youyao had seen such an enchanting cousin. She subconsciously propped up her cheek and admired him. Hes 15 years old, like the sun in the east. His skin is soft and l.u.s.trous and of top quality. How can he just be called attractive? Cousin is indeed unparalleled.

The gla.s.s of wine just now seemed to have burned into his eyes, and his eyes were slightly red.

Zhou Linghuais smile deepened, and his eyes were even more watery. This wine is a rare good wine. It makes my heart feel relaxed and even my body feels warm.

With the pain gone, his body naturally felt comfortable.

Zhou Linghuai subconsciously picked up another wine jar and poured himself a gla.s.s of wine.

Yu Youyao hurriedly said, Every morning, day and night, its fine to drink a gla.s.s or two of this wine, but you cant drink more. As if worried that her cousin wouldnt listen to her, she continued, Medicinal wine is also wine. Drink it in moderation. It can strengthen your body and improve your meridians. However, if you drink too much, it will be harmful to your body.

Zhou Linghuai leaned against the wheelchair lazily. Ive finished this gla.s.s. I wont drink anymore.

The cousins sat in front of the charcoal cage and talked.

Unknowingly, it was time for lunch.

Nanny Xu rarely cooked personally. She made Laba cuisine. There was Laba tofu, Laba noodle, wheat rice, Laba beans, and a white jade ginseng soup. It

was simple but delicious.

Although this years Laba Festival was a little quieter, it was also joyous and warm.

The next day, the King of Zhouli was buried.

Hot water was boiled with dried citrus skin in the small kitchen. Chun Xiao helped Yu Youyao bathe. Take off your clothes today and wash them with citrus water to get rid of your bad luck.

Nanny Liu also instructed the servants to put away the mourning cloth and burn it clean. The room was also sprinkled with citrus water, emitting a faint fragrance.

Zhou Linghuai was not idle either. He chose seven or eight of the largest and best quality Dragon Resting Stones and kept them. He planned to take some time to carve them and give them to Yu Youyao.

The Dragon Resting Stones were of good quality. There was no need to do much work on them. They only needed to be slightly modified.

After picking Yu Youyaos, he picked two pieces that were slightly smaller and of high quality, but of slightly poorer quality. He sent them to An Shou Hall.

As for carving, Old Madam Yu would naturally find a craftsman to carve the stone, so there was no need for him to do it for her.

He also gave the other masters in the residence a piece that was smaller but of good quality each.

It was not that he was stingy. Dragon Resting Stones were rare to begin with.

It was also because he had some connections with the monks of Wutai

Mountain that he obtained the good stones that had been stored in the temple for many years.

Even those of poorer quality were rare good stones. Be it Feng Shui ornaments, carving inkstones, or carving seals, they were all extremely good.

It wouldnt be embarra.s.sing to give them as gifts.

Of course, Zhou Linghuai wouldnt give them anything that he couldnt take out.

On the third day after the mourning period, Marquis of Changxing and the others stood at Meridian Gate at noon Execution!

Yu Youyao stood in the courtyard in a pomegranate-red cloak with a fox fur collar.

Snowflakes fluttered in the sky. The whistling cold wind was like a roaring ferocious beast that whistled and howled furiously at the heavens and the earth, causing the entire capital to be suffused with a murderous aura.

One could almost imagine what it would be like when the executioner swung his blade down and the heads fell to the ground. Blood would spray on the snow on the ground and the red snow would turn into blood.

Zhou Linghuai turned his wheelchair to her side. After the Laba Festival, the smell of the new year will become stronger. Every family has to prepare the new years goods to welcome the new year. They hope that everything will be smooth in the coming year.

Therefore, neither the emperor nor the courtiers were willing to leave the Marquis of Changxing and the others until the new year.

Spring and summer produced all living things, mainly vitality. It wasnt good to create too much blood and go against the heavens.

Autumn and winter, everything withered, and the main thing was death.

The crime of colluding with the enemy and betraying the country and persecuting the royal family was a heinous crime. If they did not deal with it for a day, it would cause trouble. If they did not do it quickly during winter, they would have to wait until after autumn.

Yu Youyao naturally understood what he meant. She sighed slightly.. When will the people sentenced to exile set off?
