Chapter 21 21. Lin Suya
Because his butt was still injured.
Today, he did not need to go serve the empress.
Just when he was about to simulate.
There was a bang on the door.
When Chen Mo heard the shrill voice, he knew it was the bast*rd eunuch Wang Ying.
“Little Chen, Her Royal Highness is here. Come out and greet her,” Wang Ying raised his voice.
Behind him, Zhao Fujin said with a slight dissatisfaction, “Chief Wang, please keep it down.”
After Zhao Fujin said that, she walked to the door, knocked gently, and said softly, “Chen Hong, are you awake? It’s me, I have something to tell you.”
Wang Ying’s eyes widened in disbelief. The princess spoke to Chen Hong in such a soft tone.
It felt like if Chen Hong hadn’t woken up, the princess would wait for him outside of the room.
In the room, Chen Mo hurriedly put on his trousers and covered himself with a quilt. Then he laid on the bed and used the object-preserving technique to open the three safety locks on the door, before he said.
“Your RoyalHighness, I woke up, but my body is not feeling well, so please forgive me for not being able to greet you, Your Royal Highness. If Your RoyalHighness doesn’t mind, please come in.”
“No, no, it’s okay, I’ll come in by myself.”
Zhao Fujin pushed open the door and walked in.
When she saw Chen Mo lying on the bed, the guilt in her heart emerged again, and then she went beside Chen Mo’s bed. “Chen Hong, Are…are you all right?”
“I’m fine. After two days, I can continue to serve Her Majesty and Your Royal Highness,” Chen Mo said respectfully.
Zhao Fujin blamed herself even more. “It’s all because of me, if it wasn’t for me…”
As she spoke, she suddenly seemed to remember that Wang Ying was still inside, so she stopped talking and turned around and said to Wang Ying. “Chief Wang, you can go outside first. I have something to say to Chen Hong privately.”
“Your Royal Highness, this…”
“Um?”
“Roger that, I will leave now.” When Wang Ying, he glared at Chen Mo, as if he was telling him not to talk nonsense.
With the door closed, Zhao Fujin said with a look of concern. “Chen Hong, are you…really okay?”
“Your Royal Highness, I’m really okay, you see, I’m just lying here, right?” Chen Mo smiled.
Zhao Fujin thought that he deliberately showed a fine expression in order not to worry her.
After all, some time ago, an eunuch who was serving her father was caned fifty times. After that, he died the next day.
Chen Hong was caned a hundred times .
Touched, she felt a tremendous amount of guilt. “It’s all my fault. If I hadn’t coerced you to take me out of the palace, this would not have happened.”
Of course it’s your fault… Chen Mo almost said this, and immediately said, like a simp.
“It has nothing to do with Your Royal Highness, it’s all my fault. If I was more careful, perhaps this matter would not have been known to Her Majesty.”
Zhao Fujin burst out into a joyous laughter, then she said softly, “You’re flattering me.”
“I don’t dare.”
Zhao Fujin snorted, and immediately took out a white jade porcelain bottle from her robe, placed it on Chen Mo’s bedside. “Chen Hong, this is the best golden sores medicine , you can apply it to…your injured spot. It won’t take long before you’ll be healed.”
“Thank you, Your Royal Highness,” Chen Mo thanked her respectfully.
“I caused this to you, and you thank me?” Zhao Fujin said with her lips pursed.
“Like I said, it’s not Your Royal Highness’s fault.”
“My mother is right, you really are a good person.”
Chen Mo did not know how to respond.
Zhao Fujin chuckled again when she saw Chen Mo’s frozen expression.
Her smile was like flowers blossoming.
Zhao Fujin regained her optimistic temperament as she said, “Tell me, what reward do you want?”
“Uh… I don’t want rewards.”
“You must have it.”
“Then Your Royal Highness can decide for me,” Chen Mo said.
Zhao Fujin thought for a while, and then took out an exquisite small wooden box from her robe.
A jade bottle first, then a wooden box from her robe?
Chen Mo had some doubts whether the bulge in front of Zhao Fujin’s chest was from these things.
She fits a lot of stuff in it.
Zhao Fujin opened the small wooden box, and inside the box were two longan-sized dans.
She picked up one and with a clear look of pain on her face she turned her head around so that she did not look at the dan and handed it to Chen Mo, “Here you go.”
“Your Royal Highness, what is this?” Chen Mo looked at the dan Zhao Fujin handed to him in confusion.
“This is the golden dan refined by my teacher. It was made from a dragon the teacher killed in the East Sea. There are only 108 dans per pot in total, so it is extremely precious,” Zhao Fujin said.
“Teacher?” Chen Mo was taken aback, this was the first time he learned that Zhao Fujin had a teacher.
It made sense, as a nobody, how much could he know.
“It’s the Imperial Teacher,” Zhao Fujin said.
“Imperial Teacher?!” Chen Mo was shocked.
In the past two days, he also learned some information about the Great Song Dynasty.
After the Great Song Dynasty took over control from the previous dynasty, the sects and religions that were abolished by the Great Emperor gradually re-emerged.
Later, the Taoist genius Lin Suya became attached to the royal family and founded the Tempest School. Emperor Zhao Ji became the leader of the school, Taoism was praised as the state religion, and Lin Suya became the Imperial Teacher.
Later, Lin Suya used Taoism to destroy Buddhism and controlled the religion of the Great Song Dynasty.
Lin Suya was also a first-realm cultivator.
And among all the first-realm cultivators, she was considered to be within the top echelon.
And the dan she refined was definitely not of ordinary quality.
“Your Royal Highness, this is too…too valuable, I can’t accept it.”
How could Chen Mo dare to ask for such a precious dan.
“You really don’t want it?” Zhao Fujin said again.
Chen Mo shook his head.
“Alright then.” After Zhao Fujin saw that Chen Mo really didn’t want it, she took it back, and then gave Chen Mo a bottle of a more common dan.
Of course, it was only ordinary compared to that golden dan.
But in the eyes of ordinary people, it was still extremely precious.
This time, Chen Mo accepted it.
Although he really wanted to accept that golden dan, he knew that it was not something he could enjoy with his status.
Although he knew that if he accepted it, Zhao Fujin would not say anything, much less tell others.
However, if this matter got out, there would definitely not be any good consequences.
After all, what did he do to deserve a reward of a golden dan from the princess.
Just for being caned?
This is different from the jade pendant.
No matter how precious the jade is.
It is just a common item.
But this is a golden dan.
I am afraid that some princes and princesses don’t have it.
What I can accept.
What I can’t accept.
Chen Mo was fully aware of the boundaries.
After Zhao Fujin left.
Chen Mo started today’s simulation.
Just like yesterday, he was trying to refresh more talent.
(Day 1: The Great Turmoil was about to arrive, and the horns of uprisings were blown across the Great Song Dynasty. The Imperial Power withered and the Yellow Turban Force came to power.You were in the palace, which was the safest place in the Great Song Dynasty. You became a seventh-realm cultivator because you cultivated the Rising Phoenix Method in advance.
It was a dark night where the moon was not to be seen. You tried to sneak into the Emperor’s bedroom to absorb the Qi of the Son of Heaven in the jade seal.
As soon as you stepped into Daming Hall, you were discovered by the first-realm master who protected the emperor. You died.]
