Peaceful Farm Life

Chapter 1020: Chapter 1021: Can’t Anymore...

Seeing Xiao Changyi gaze towards his basket, Gong Juechen immediately hid it behind him, excitedly saying, ”These were made by my sister!”

Another meaning was, you’re too greedy—I’ve already given out eight, that’s enough! The rest I want to eat myself! I haven’t even eaten breakfast yet!

Xiao Changyi said, ”Next time, have your sister make some for you.”

Gong Juechen immediately said, ”It’s not the same, this was the first time my sister made them for me voluntarily!”

Xiao Changyi said, ”It will take some time for the people outside to find Fulan flowers, and right now, Chengyu’s symptoms are quite severe. We need to save Chengyu first.”

”Three are really enough...” Gong Juechen truly believed that giving Su Chengyu three Fulan flower cakes was enough to save him. Each cake really had many Fulan flowers.

Xiao Changyi asked, ”Are you sure?” He paused, ”If he dies, will you take responsibility?”

Gong Juechen thought that he wasn’t really sure how many Fulan flowers were needed to cure the epidemic. Now, Su Chengyu’s life was really hanging by a thread—if they didn’t use more Fulan flowers to save him, he might really die.

Thinking this, Gong Juechen, with a reluctant heart, took out four more cakes from the basket to give to Xiao Changyi.

While handing them over to Xiao Changyi, he also cautioned, ”Eating too many can have adverse effects, so let’s feed him three for now to see the effect. These four are for backup.”

As Xiao Changyi took the four Fulan flower cakes from Gong Juechen, he continued to gaze at the basket in Gong Juechen’s hands.

This truly angered Gong Juechen, who clutched his basket like a mother protecting her calf and shouted at Xiao Changyi, ”I only have two left, I can’t give you any more!”

Xiao Changyi finally stopped looking at Gong Juechen’s basket and handed the four Fulan flower cakes to those attending to Su Chengyu, instructing them to chill them with ice to prevent them from spoiling.

”Go, see who is outside the city, have that person get more Fulan flowers, the more, the better.” Xiao Changyi turned and ordered Qin Si.

Qin Si had never heard of Fulan flowers and said, ”I have not heard of Fulan flowers, I am afraid others may not know either. Please tell your servant what the flowers look like so I can have someone find them.”

Xiao Changyi had never seen Fulan flowers either, only looking towards Gong Juechen.

Gong Juechen, while gnawing on one of the remaining two cakes, said, ”They are blue wildflowers that grow on the mountains in the South Shen area, in vast patches, all blue, with very small blossoms, narrow leaves, and thin stems. Each plant only bears one flower, and the stem has many white hairs. People from the South Shen area should know this wildflower.”

Qin Si then left to execute the command, hurrying to the city gate tower to have people outside search for the Fulan flowers.

Half an hour later, Qin Si returned.

Upon returning, he reported to Xiao Changyi, ”General Meng Lanqing and Envoy Wang Yan happened to be outside the city, so I had them search for the Fulan flowers.”

Gong Juechen was quite pleased to hear that Meng Lanqing had come.

He had previously been a bit resentful towards Meng Lanqing, feeling that Meng Lanqing did not love her sister enough, allowing her to come alone to the city.

Now that Meng Lanqing had followed her sister, he had nothing more to complain about.

It was at this time that Ning Wenxian, who had been tightly holding Su Chengyu’s hand, cried tears of joy, ”Imperial brother, His Highness is not as hot anymore... He must be surviving...”
