Lin Zaozao looked at Lord Han Ye's solemn expression and swallowed hard. She asked puzzledly, "Brother Han Ye, aren't I in your territory, Han Country, now? Why are you still worried about someone harming me?"
"Zhuzhu, it's easy to dodge an open spear but hard to defend against a hidden arrow. The empresses of Canglan and Fengshuo are using living people to develop a poison called 'Insoluble'. Once infected with that poison, there is simply no antidote.
Although I have planted many spies in Canglan and Fengshuo, I still cannot confirm that they will not plant spies in Han Country.
If there are spies who sneak poison into your food, the consequences would be unimaginable. Zhuzhu, you must be very careful for your own safety."
After hearing Han Ye's words, Lin Zaozao heaved a sigh of relief.
The Insoluble Poison was nothing to her! After all, she had a detoxifying dog system!
Moreover, her system reward had upgraded to Level 3 now. The Level 3 Marrow Washing Liquid had extremely potent detoxification effects.
Not to mention that so-called Insoluble Poison, even if something more powerful came, she would not be afraid.
"Lord Han Ye, the Insoluble Poison has no effect on Zaozao. Zaozao's body has now become immune to all poisons.
My Jade Poison Pearl contains toxins extracted from thousands of poisons. Its toxicity goes without saying.
Yet when it's in her hands, it's like a toy to her. So even if Zaozao accidentally ingests the Insoluble Poison, it won't do any harm to her. To put it simply, even if Zaozao takes poison every day, it won't affect her body one bit."
"Little Peach Blossom, there are holes in my brain! Who would eat poison every day? That nasty stuff, who would eat it?" Lin Zaozao retorted when she heard Xiao Taohua's words.
Hearing Lin Zaozao's complaint, Xiao Taohua couldn't help but want to laugh.
"Zaozao, if I make the poison sweet, would you really eat it?"
"I won't eat it. You can eat it yourself if you want."
Lin Zaozao said in disgust.
"You're right. Before I finished my apprenticeship, I did make poison into candy. It was sweet and delicious." Xiao Taohua took out two pieces of poison shaped like candy from his arms. After popping one into his mouth, he handed the other to Lin Zaozao.
Unwrapping the outer oil paper, Lin Zaozao sniffed the poison.
She had to admit, it did smell pretty good. But when Lin Zaozao licked it with her tongue...
Yuck!
It was terribly bitter.
Lin Zaozao glared at Xiao Taohua and tossed the poison in her hand into the fish tank behind her in disgust.
The next second, the water in the fish tank instantly boiled. The fish inside floated belly up to the surface.
Seeing this scene, Lin Zaozao felt shocked and heartbroken for Xiao Taohua at the same time.
From young till now, how much poison must he have consumed for his body to become immune to all poisons!
When Lin Zaozao looked at Xiao Taohua with distress, she didn't realize Han Ye was also gazing at her with a distressed look.
Her Zhuzhu should have grown up pampered and doted on. But because of the toxins in her body, she had to live among the common people instead.
Now Zhuzhu's body was immune to all poisons. So the poison painstakingly developed by the empresses of Canglan and Fengshuo could no longer harm Zhuzhu.
Thinking of this, Han Ye heaved a sigh of relief involuntarily.
As long as Zhuzhu's body was free from the control of the empresses of Canglan and Fengshuo, he could also breathe easy.
"Zhuzhu, although the poisons are harmless to you now, you still need to be careful. From now on, other than the meals Dashan makes, don't eat anything prepared by others."
Han Ye glanced at Xiao Taohua and said coldly, "Poison Prince, although Zhuzhu's body is now immune to all poisons, you can't treat poison as candy to feed her anymore. Understand?"
Facing Han Ye's icy gaze, Xiao Taohua nodded repeatedly.
Just now he was muddle headed to even think of letting Zaozao eat poison. Fortunately nothing bad happened, otherwise Lord Han Ye would have slapped him to death with one strike.
Seeing Xiao Taohua looking nervous and fearful, Lin Zaozao quickly came to his rescue. After all, Xiao Taohua acted that way just to prove her body was now immune to all poisons.
"Brother Han Ye, don't worry. Dashan's cooking is so tasty, why would I want to eat anyone else's food? From now on, I'll be sure to listen to you."
Lin Zaozao looked at Dashan earnestly and gave her promise to Han Ye.
"Little Master, I've studied cooking for over ten years. The food I make must be delicious. From now on, no matter what you wish to eat, I'll make it for you."
"Dashan, I've never been a picky eater. As long as it's not extremely terrible, I can eat anything. From now on, I'll eat whatever you make me. It'll be very easy to feed me well!"
"Then Little Master, hurry and drink this red date and silver ear soup. After drinking this soup, it'll boost your energy before you perform the wedding ritual with Lord Han Ye!"
"Wedding ritual? The wedding night!"
Lin Zaozao looked at the red date and silver ear soup Dashan had placed in front of her, then glanced up at Dashan again and then at Han Ye sitting opposite her.
"Dashan, am I spending my wedding night with Brother Han Ye tonight?"
"That's right, Little Master! Today you became Han Country's empress. So you must perform the wedding ritual with the high priest Han Ye. It's been passed down in Han Country since ancient times."
Hearing Dashan's explanation, Lin Zaozao glanced at the blushing Han Ye and immediately became gleeful.
She loved the idea of a wedding night!
Moreover, having her wedding night with Han Ye who had the looks of an immortal, delighted her even more.
Hence Lin Zaozao picked up the bowl of red date and silver ear soup before her and gulped it down swiftly in three mouthfuls.
"Dashan, do you have more of this soup? I want another bowl. I must have ample stamina later for my wedding night!"
"Here's more, Little Master."
Lin Zaozao downed a few more mouthfuls from the bowl Dashan passed to her and licked her lips while beaming at Han Ye.
"Brother Han Ye, eat more! You need ample stamina too. But make sure to eat quickly. The sooner we finish our meals, the sooner we can have our wedding night!
It is said, a spring night is worth a thousand gold coins. We musn't delay this wonderful time for the sake of money!"
Hearing Lin Zaozao's overly explicit words in front of so many people made Han Ye, whose face was already somewhat flushed, turn red all the way to his neck.
Watching Han Ye with his face almost blushing like a crab, Lin Zaozao suddenly felt the food in her bowl to be extraordinarily colorful and aromatic.
Maybe she should drink another bowl of red date and silver ear soup?
Smacking her lips, Lin Zaozao felt the soup's effects were just so-so. Maybe she should drink a cup of wolfberry tea instead? A cup of that would surely boost effects tremendously.
"Brother Han Ye, are you full? If not, eat some more. That way later we won't lack energy during our wedding night."
Seeing Han Ye keeping his head lowered in silence with a red face, Lin Zaozao turned to Dashan and said,
"Dashan, please help make some invigorating broths with male potency herbs for Brother Han Ye. Things like deer's blood and bull pizzles! Make more of those for Brother Han Ye."
"Yes, yes of course, Little Master. I'll bring them right away."
Dashan glanced gleefully at the lowered head of Han Ye and headed straight for the kitchen.
Hahaha...
Dashan was used to seeing Lord Han Ye's cold and stern expressions. And now watching the shy and embarrassed side of him thanks to Little Master's teasing made Dashan want to laugh involuntarily.
He knew it! In this world, there is always something that can humble the arrogant. Who could have imagined the usually wise and valorous Lord Han Ye would become so...hmm...bashful when faced with Little Master!
It looked like in future, he had to learn more medical knowledge and invigorating broth recipes that boosted male potency from Divine Doctor Ji. It could not only make his Little Master happy but also let him see Lord Han Ye's "shy" expression.
Once Dashan went into the kitchen, Lin Zaozao immediately moved to sit beside Han Ye.
"Come come, Brother Han Ye. Eat more meat. You need meat to build up your stamina. But make sure to eat quickly. The sooner we finish eating, the sooner we can have our wedding night!"
"Zhuzhu, I, I can serve myself."
Han Ye looked at the enthusiastic Lin Zaozao dishing food for him and felt somewhat overwhelmed by her ardor.
“Han Ye brother, we are a family, no need to be polite! Come come, don't just eat rice, let's eat some dishes.
I've eaten this dish before, the taste is sour and sweet. Later when we enter the bridal chamber, it will definitely be as sour and refreshing as the taste of this dish. "
As soon as Lin Zaozao's words fell, there was a sudden coughing sound at the dinner table.
"Zaozao, you eat first. After eating, you will have the energy to enter the bridal chamber with Lord Han Ye, right?"
Ji Fantian tried hard to restrain the smile on his face and joked.
"Baby Fantian, you are right. Entering the bridal chamber takes a lot of energy, so I have to eat well too. Right, you and Xiao Taohua should eat well too.
After all, I am still your wife in name only so far! Starting tomorrow, I must become your real wife. To tell the truth, I don't want to be a nun in the temple anymore.
Really, I have lived too plainly!"
Lin Zaozao's words successfully shut Xiao Taohua's and Ji Fantian's mouths. Because if they kept talking, they wouldn't be able to eat anymore.
"Young master, the nourishing soup is here."
Seeing Dashan bringing over a large pot of nourishing soup, Lin Zaozao immediately took it over enthusiastically and scooped a large bowl for each of Han Ye, Ji Fantian and Xiao Taohua.
"Come come, look at you all so thin. Drink more nourishing soup to fulfill your duties as husbands. "
After speaking, Lin Zaozao turned to Dashan and said excitedly.
"Dashan, from now on, cook some nourishing soup for my little husbands every day to nourish them well."
"Yes, young master."
After a meal, with Lin Zaozao eagerly waiting, Han Ye finally finished eating.
"Brother Han Ye, have you eaten enough?"
"Yes, I have eaten enough."
Han Ye said embarrassedly.
"Hehehe! As long as you've eaten enough!"
Lin Zaozao wiped her mouth, pulled Han Ye up, and walked straight to her own bedroom. When she had just pulled Han Ye to the door of the bedroom, she turned around and ordered Dashan loudly.
"Dashan, send people to surround my bedroom tightly, don't even let a mosquito in. Don't let another little thief come in and ruin my bridal night."
"Young master, don't worry, I will definitely send people to guard it tightly for you."
Reassured, Lin Zaozao finally pulled the red-faced Han Ye into the palace happily.
After closing the door, Lin Zaozao looked at Han Ye, whose face was red to his neck because of her teasing. She brought her head close to his and said gently.
"Brother Han Ye, shall we take a mandarin duck bath before entering the bridal chamber?"
