Chapter 1098: Chapter 1098: A Flash of Inspiration (Fifth Update)_1 Chapter 1098: Chapter 1098: A Flash of Inspiration (Fifth Update)_1 There was a mysterious descendant of Liuli who still had the power to hold a lifesaving elixir in their hands. If this descendant truly succeeded in their disguise, then the Tong Family would be secure.
As long as the Tong Family did not plot a rebellion, the Yang Family would definitely not touch them.
“So tell me, how exactly should one disguise themselves as a descendant?” Qiao Xiaomai asked.
“By using your space,” Tong Sanlang said as his brain began to whirl with thoughts.
It couldn’t be too obvious, it had to be traceless, and it needed to align with the mysterious ways of Liuli.
Moreover, they had to find the right moment.
Quite challenging.
While the two were deep in thought, the eunuchs came carrying the bathing tub, the hot water having been prepared.
The two took their bath, washed up, and went to bed, a sleepless night undoubtedly ahead of them.
The darkness quickly passed, the sun rose, and after only sleeping a little more than an hour, the two got up to cook breakfast in the small kitchen.
Qiao Xiaomai made plenty for breakfast, and after it was ready, she had someone send it to Emperor Yongan, Yao Xian, Yang Hao, and the others.
She didn’t know if they had drunk the milk tea last night, but breakfast they would definitely eat.
At this moment, they all felt bitter inside. If one’s heart is bitter, the breakfast they eat shouldn’t taste as bitter.
At the breakfast table, Yang Wenxiao stared at the array of dishes, drinking only a few sips of white rice porridge. He had no appetite and couldn’t eat anything else.
After breakfast, he issued a royal decree, a decree with only two lines: “Madame Gu, do you still remember that bowl of rice from years ago? If so, please come to the capital for a reunion.”
This simple decree would be spread with the utmost speed across all lands, and unless someone was living in a primeval forest like Deng Chun, they would generally be aware of this imperial edict.
Having issued the royal decree, Yang Wenxiao took a stool and sat in front of the great hall to bask in the sunlight.
In mid-February, the sun already carried a thread of warmth.
But this warmth could only warm his body, not his heart.
The royal decree had been sent out, and he was unsure if Liuli actually had any descendants. If there weren’t any…
If there weren’t any, what to do…
What to do…
If it were possible to exchange life for life, he would have chosen, without hesitation, to swap with Emperor Yongan.
Qiao Xiaomai and Tong Sanlang were cooking pig feed in the kitchen. After feeding the pigs, they each carried a bucket to water the chili seedlings.
Of course, what they watered them with was water from the Spiritual Spring.
With the nourishment of the Spiritual Spring, the small chilis grew quite a bit, some had even turned red, and in another seven or eight days, they would be ready to eat.
Looking at the batch of chilis in front of her, Qiao Xiaomai bit her lip without uttering a word.
If there were plenty of chilis, could she give them away for free as a good deed?
Unfortunately, there were too few chilis.
Pathetically few.
She gripped the water ladle in her hand and sighed quietly to herself.
Tong Sanlang noticed her expression and knew what she was thinking. Ah… given the current situation, it was a problem without solution… huh?!
Suddenly thinking of a possibility, his sigh halted abruptly.
His dark eyes spun around, then he raised his hand to cover his stomach, frowning deeply, “My stomach feels a bit uncomfortable, can you come back to the room and rub it for me?”
Qiao Xiaomai, who was lost in thought, turned to him immediately upon hearing his words, “Your stomach is uncomfortable?”
“Mhm.” Tong Sanlang’s frown grew even tighter, his brow twisting into knots.
“Let’s go, let’s go,” Qiao Xiaomai said quickly, picking up the water bucket and grabbing him by the other hand, hurrying toward the back hall.
Once back in the room, she took a cup of water from the Spiritual Spring out of her space, “Does it hurt a lot? Drink this quickly. How could your stomach be upset all of a sudden?”
