Cultivation Simulator: Starting From The Empress' Palace-Chapter 79 Moved, Riot

A moment later, Xiao Yunxi instinctively looked towards Chen Mo, always feeling that this matter should be related to him.

Chen Mo stepped forward, cupped his hand, and respectfully said, "Reporting to Your Majesty, it was I who had them send it. Seeing Your Majesty’s pale complexion and weakening vital energy and blood, I specially selected some ingredients from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, such as yam, red dates, and wolfberries, to help nourish Your Majesty."

"Your Majesty, when Chen Hong separated from me before, he did say he would go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to see if there were any medicinal materials beneficial for vital energy to prepare an evening meal for Your Majesty," Cai’Er quickly recalled and said.

Upon hearing, Xiao Yunxi was momentarily stunned, pursing her red lips without knowing what to say, her gentle eyes almost melting into water, truly moved by Chen Mo’s action.

The nearby maids followed orders from their masters, only then would they act.

Thinking less is better than doing more.

Yet Chen Mo always considered her welfare.

Brown sugar water.

Hot water bottle.

Honey brown sugar water.

And now nourishing medicinal meals.

"If only he wasn’t a eunuch..." A thought suddenly flashed in Xiao Yunxi’s mind.

Then she was somewhat startled.

What was she randomly thinking?

Suddenly, Xiao Yunxi thought of something and quickly told Cai’Er, "Cai’Er, quickly go to the cabinet inside and bring out the Jade Box I placed there."

"Yes." Cai’Er hurriedly ran back to the bed chamber.

When Cai’Er returned, she held a wooden box about three inches in size, from which icy air emanated; Xiao Yunxi took it and said:

"You care for me so much, but I forgot about your matters, I truly feel guilty, your Ice Spirit Cold Jade must be exhausted by now, there are three inside this box, take and use them."

Saying this, Xiao Yunxi handed the Jade Box to Chen Mo.

Ice Spirit Cold Jade is used to suppress the Heart Fire generated from cultivating the Feather Nirvana Heart Scripture. As a eunuch, if Chen Hong’s Heart Fire isn’t suppressed by Ice Spirit Cold Jade and can’t be vented. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Xiao Yunxi feared he would harm his body.

Chen Mo’s lips trembled slightly, then he took it over, "Thank you, Your Majesty, but taking it. Your Majesty, you?"

"I haven’t cultivated for some time, so I won’t need it for now," Xiao Yunxi said.

Chen Mo nodded and put the Jade Box away.

Honestly, using Ice Spirit Cold Jade for suppression is not better than..."

"Then Your Majesty, keep the kite first, I will go and make the evening meal for Your Majesty."

Chen Mo glanced at the sky, the time was getting late, and he had to go to Shenxiao Temple tonight, he couldn’t delay.

Xiao Yunxi nodded and said, "Once it’s done, just bring it directly, no need to test for poison, join me for the meal."

Xiao Yunxi kept the kite string, looking up at the sky, she casually said.

"Yes." Chen Mo respectfully excused himself.

After Chen Mo left, Xiao Yunxi watched his back, softly said, "Cai’Er, are you familiar with Chen Hong?"

Cai’Er was stunned, not knowing how to answer.

After all, a palace maid being very familiar with a eunuch is not a good thing.

After hesitating for a while, Cai’Er finally said, "Fr...Friend."

"Then do you know what he likes? Or what he likes to eat?"

"I don’t know." Cai’Er said.

"Then help me keep an eye out." Xiao Yunxi pursed her red lips for a moment, then raised her eyebrows and said.

"Ah..." Cai’Er was a bit confused, not knowing why Xiao Yunxi wanted her to pay attention to these. But she didn’t dare refuse, so she nodded and said "Yes."

Xiao Yunxi tugged at the kite string, explaining as if talking to herself, "He cares for me so much, takes care of me, as a master, I should give him a good gift..."

"Ah... yes... yes..."

Cai’Er felt more and more unable to understand the Empress’s thoughts.

She decided to just do whatever the Empress said.

Don’t ask more, don’t say more, don’t think more.

...

Since Xiao Yunxi’s menstrual cycle hadn’t finished, Chen Mo prepared warm and mild foods.

When everything was completed.

The sky had gradually darkened.

Far away, hundreds of miles away in Nanyang County.

South of Nanyang, Qinghe City.

Outside the city, the cracked land devoid of any green color, a group of hungry citizens slowly gathered at the city gate.

Can’t say surrounded, more like dragging their bodies.

Each person was almost skin and bones, appearing pitiful, even skeletons showed through their flesh.

Nanyang experienced a severe drought in half the county, continuing for several months.

The crops in the fields had long withered, the roots of wild grass were dug out for food, bark had been stripped, and even the wish to eat Guanyin Earth lacked water to mix in, forcing to eat, most had died from bloating.

They somehow heard news that said the northern counties of Celestial River City were unaffected by the disaster, even daily relief porridge was provided, causing disaster-stricken citizens from more than ten cities to gather towards these cities.

"Today’s porridge is finished, come back tomorrow!"

A porridge stand was set up by the south corner of Celestial River City, officials were distributing porridge, surrounded by hundreds of guards, the city gates were shut tight, soldiers on the city walls watched below with drawn bows, fearing these disaster sufferers would riot.

Originally, Celestial River City didn’t distribute porridge, surrounding cities didn’t either.

But the benevolent merchant Luo couldn’t bear seeing disaster sufferers starve in Celestial River City, plus the county magistrate of Celestial River City, Luo’s elder brother, was one of Nanyang County’s best officials, and their hometown was also affected by the disaster.

Among the disaster sufferers were their fellow townsmen.

Therefore, with some grain at home, Luo Bridge, the benevolent merchant, discussed with his elder brother, setting up a porridge stand here, distributing porridge daily.

Gradually, word spread that Celestial River City in the north distributed relief porridge daily.

But even the landlord’s house had no surplus grain!

Days of porridge distribution, Luo’s grain warehouse began to dwindle.

Thus, in these days, porridge became less, and the amount for each person reduced.

One batch after another coming disaster sufferers, except the previous ones knowing the porridge was personally distributed by the benevolent merchant Luo, the latter only assumed it was provided by the Imperial Court.

Seeing the porridge decrease, they thought the county magistrate was embezzling relief silver, causing an uproar a few days ago, therefore guard lines were set up beside the porridge stand.

However, once people are hungry.

Driven mad by hunger.

They become fearless.

Upon hearing the officials say the porridge was gone.

Someone in the crowd raged, "The porridge gets less every day, today running out so early, how can we survive? Look at them plump and fair, must be embezzling our grain.

Father and folks, with me, let’s kill them, break into the city, reclaim our grain."

"How dare you." The porridge-distributing official shouted sternly, immediately ordering the instigator be captured.

But at that moment, a Black Shadow sprang out, a dagger in hand.

With a thud, it stabbed into the official’s chest.

The dagger was pulled out, blood spurted directly.
