Chapter 162 Ready
He Zhang's martial arts skills were average, but he was knowledgeable and well-read. He had memorized almost all the martial arts manuals that the Eastern Depot could collect.
Their world isn't a high-martial arts world; the so-called ultimate martial arts skills are limited to things like breaking stones with one hand by cultivating internal energy.
Even the most skilled masters are still mortals. He had never heard of anyone with such miraculous powers as their master's wife, who could use tonics in basins upon basins.
To be honest, not only were the maids worried, but he himself was also unsure.
Fortunately, it finally came to fruition.
Regardless of her supernatural abilities, the fact that the lady went seven days without eating, drinking, or using the toilet is a miracle in itself.
Jiang Xinyu called He Zhang over for two reasons: first, to inform him that everything was alright, and second, to ask about any recent news from the manor.
Hearing that Prince An sent his secret guards to visit her every day, she immediately looked at Ye Xiao, and sure enough, the boy was glaring at her angrily.
Ye Xiao was caught red-handed by Jiang Xinyu's sudden turn, so he quickly shifted his gaze and pretended that he hadn't done anything.
Jiang Xinyu chuckled. "Spare the rod and spoil the child, indeed."
Although she still can't shake her habit of overthinking, at least she knows that loose lips sink ships. If it were before, the little brat would have definitely jumped up and down, cursing her for being unchaste.
Seeing Jiang Xinyu's laughter, Ye Xiao felt a little embarrassed and mustered his courage to let out a cold snort.
"You're still laughing. Even if you're not interested in Prince An, can you guarantee that he's not interested in you?"
He...is not afraid of thieves stealing, but afraid of thieves eyeing him.
Jiang Xinyu waved her hand, interrupting Ye Xiao.
"I said, 'We've only been calling her godmother for two days, why is she acting all irritable again? Is she being petty again?'"
Don't forget that we are now in a cooperative relationship. Isn't it normal for him to be afraid that his partner will be ruined?
Besides, how do you know I can't guarantee it?
Don't worry, even if someone were to cheat on your godfather, it would never be Prince An. That guy is obsessed with women...
"Ahem, Prince An is gay; he may not have a wife, but he has a husband."
After saying this, Jiang Xinyu felt a slight chill. She was indeed used to bickering with Prince An and almost blurted out that the guy couldn't get an erection with women.
The son and daughter-in-law should be careful what they say; she's the mother-in-law, after all.
Although Jiang Xinyu stopped herself from using that explosive word, the news was still sensational; Ye Xiao's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.
"How is that possible? How could Prince An have a husband?"
"How is it impossible?"
Jiang Xinyu gave him a look that said, "You're just a child, you have no manners."
Love transcends gender, age, and even species.
You're quite old-fashioned for your age. Try reading more storybooks in your spare time, and you'll discover a whole new world.
Pairings aren't just rare; some are bizarre. I even read a book where the Empress and the Empress Dowager had an affair, and the Empress Dowager cheated on the Emperor.
Ye Xiao pouted unconvinced, "Who said I haven't read storybooks? Where did you buy your book, 'The Empress and the Empress Dowager'?"
I don't believe any bookstore would dare to sell it.
Jiang Xinyu raised an eyebrow at his arrogant expression. "You didn't say that on purpose because you wanted to see it, did you? Trying to provoke me won't work."
I want to see my little darling call me "Mother."
Ye Xiao snorted and turned his head away.
This woman is really strange. She's clearly a year younger than him, but when she talks to him, it always feels like she's teasing a child.
Unfortunately, Ye Xiao would never be able to figure out this mystery in his lifetime. Who would have thought that the beautiful woman in front of him was actually a twenty-eight-year-old?
He Zhang sighed helplessly as he watched the mother and son stray further from the right path, realizing that maintaining a harmonious relationship between them was indeed quite difficult.
After all, not only was Xiao Ye quick-tempered, but the Madam of the Eunuch was also mischievous. She liked to tease Xiao Ye from time to time to see him get angry.
As they were talking, they finished preparing everything they had asked for. Jiang Xinyu gulped down a large bowl of ginseng soup and then scooped up the ginseng from the bowl and chewed it like a radish.
He told them he wanted to take a bath and then shooed the two little ones out.
Once outside, Ye Xiao, seeing that no one was watching, quietly tugged at He Zhang's sleeve.
"Do you think anyone would actually dare to write a pictorial book about the Empress and the Empress Dowager doing *that*?"
Have you seen it?
He Zhang rolled his eyes speechlessly.
How could anyone dare to write such bizarre things? Even if someone did dare to write them, bookstore owners wouldn't dare to print them.
However, seeing that Xiao Ye seemed to genuinely believe it, He Zhang helplessly patted his head.
"If you really want to read it, I'll write a book for you another day. Don't be silly and go to the bookstore to ask, that kind of thing is taboo."
Ye Xiao immediately blushed and slapped He Zhang's hand.
"Who wants to see it? I'm just curious if such weird things really exist."
That woman was lying to me after all.
He Zhang chuckled to himself, thinking, "Who told you to be so easy to fool? Sometimes I can't help but lie to you too."
After taking a hot shower and changing into clean clothes, the ginseng soup gradually took effect.
Feeling the power within her, Jiang Xinyu focused her mind, and soon a transparent space appeared before her.
Jiang Xinyu almost cried when she saw how full the contents of the container were. God had been kind to her.
The space of emotions is bound to her soul, and her past life's legacy is still there.
Great, with these supplies, she can throw away all her bulky wooden syringes.
After all, with current technology, even veterinarians would find the hollow needle too thick. She wouldn't have used it to prick Xiao Yuan if she hadn't had no other choice.
In her previous life, Jiang Xinyu always acted with the team.
The captain is a lightning-type ability user, and the two vice-captains are a fire-type and a wind-type ability user, both of whom are extremely powerful. Although she, a space-type and water-type ability user, also kills enemies, she does more logistical work.
After all, she was the only one in the team who studied medicine.
Although I studied forensic medicine, which doesn't involve dealing with living people, it's the apocalypse, so there aren't many rules. Having medical knowledge is better than not having it.
The zombie king's self-destruction resulted in the complete annihilation of their team. Otherwise, she would have felt guilty for bringing all the team's supplies with her, since her teammates had been very kind to her.
As Jiang Xinyu caressed the things in the space, she couldn't help but think of her old friends, wondering if they would ever have the chance to travel to other worlds.
With the spatial ability already largely resolved, Jiang Xinyu tried to activate her water-based supernatural abilities.
Unfortunately, the energy replenishment was probably insufficient, as only a small stream of water gushed from the fingertips, far inferior to the water blades that could strangle zombies in the previous life.
However, there was no time to dawdle. She figured Xiao Yuan had already arrived in the disaster area by now, and in order not to become a widow, she had to get there to help as soon as possible.
This time, there was not only a natural disaster but also a man-made one. She always felt that the old man, the Left Prime Minister, would not have only made one move with Yan Fei.
Jiang Xinyu's guess was not wrong.
Zhang Zhongyi naturally made multiple preparations for this rare opportunity to eliminate Xiao Yuan.
Yan Fei was just one of them. At the same time, he also sent 20 assassins disguised as doctors to Xuzhou.
In addition, they hired two assassin organizations and spent a lot of money to kill Xiao Yuan.
The old man went all out this time, even resorting to the most unscrupulous means to bring Xiao Yuan down.
If Yan Fei and the assassin organization succeed, all will be well; if they fail, they will only be sacrificed to the people in the disaster area.
The 20 assassins posing as doctors were not targeting Xiao Yuan himself, but rather to spread the plague that had appeared in the disaster area to the entire city of Xuzhou.
If his men couldn't kill Xiao Yuan, he'd have the Emperor do it.
A poor disaster relief effort could not only cost Xiao Yuan his life, but also uproot that dead eunuch's power.
As for those innocent people, they can only blame their lowly lives; after all, they weren't born under the emperor's nose.
If this were in the capital, he wouldn't dare to think of such a wicked idea even if he had ten times the courage.
