In the Han King's palace, the Han King looked at Hong Lian, who was standing in front of him with many black marks on her face. He could not help but feel puzzled." Hong Lian, what happened to you?”
"I heard that last night, Royal Father was not feeling well because of the Crown Prince and Beauty Hu. This morning, I specially made medicinal cuisine to nourish Royal Father's body.”
Hong Lian was actually a little confused. She only felt as if she had slept for a very long time. When she woke up again, she found herself beside her father. Moreover, there were a few traces of smoke on her face.
He did not have any memory of this morning. He only knew that he was worried about his father's health and specially went to make medicinal cuisine. Although she did not have any memory of this morning, Hong Lian did not suspect anything. He thought that he had woken up early and was tired from work, so his mind was still a little unclear.
"Hong Lian, did you do this?" Looking at the medicinal cuisine that Hong Lian served as if she was presenting a treasure, the Han King was somewhat in disbelief. When did his unruly and willful daughter become so obedient? He really did not know at all.
"Father, I have been working hard for half a day. What kind of attitude is this?”Red Lotus pouted unhappily, clearly dissatisfied with the Han King's doubts.
"Good, good, good. It's my father's fault. Hong Lian has truly grown up.”Seeing that Red Lotus was a little angry, King Han immediately admitted his mistake.
Furthermore, Prince Han did not suspect that Hong Lian had any other motives. It was just that he knew that this daughter of his had never cooked before. Today, her actions had truly shocked him.
"Then, father, quickly try it. This can not only nourish the body, but also calm the mind.”Red Lotus brought the steaming hot herbal dish in front of the Han King and looked at him expectantly.
"Alright." The Han King received the medicinal cuisine from Red Lotus 'hands without changing his expression. Although this medicinal cuisine looked bright and fragrant, it was after all the first time Red Lotus cooked something. The Han King could not help but doubt whether it was edible or not.
However, this first spoonful of soup changed King Han's opinion. It wasn't very bad. Although it couldn't be compared to an imperial chef, the unique medicinal fragrance reverberated in his mouth after eating it. It was also a different taste.
"Red Lotus, I've underestimated you. Your culinary skills are not bad either!”As he spoke, King Han finished Red Lotus 'medicinal cuisine in a few bites and even specially praised Red Lotus.
" Mm." King Han nodded. After finishing the herbal dish made by the red lotus, he indeed felt a warm current surging in his stomach. His limbs and bones felt as if they were soaking in warm spring water, and a comfortable feeling that he had never felt before swept through his entire body.
It was as if all her anxiety had been swept away, and her body had never felt so relaxed.
This made King Han somewhat surprised. With his status, he usually ate a lot of tonics and herbal dishes, but none of them could compare to this one in front of him.
Of course, it was not the taste, but the effect. As a newbie, no matter how talented Red Lotus was, the taste she could make would definitely not be comparable to the chefs in the palace who had been immersed in cooking for decades. However, the effect of this medicinal cuisine was comparable to the ten dishes that King Han had eaten in the past.
"Red Lotus, who taught you this medicinal cuisine?”King Han could not help but be interested in this medicinal cuisine.
"It was Lord Ran's wife who taught me. She studied medicine and often thought of some medicinal dishes to nourish Lord Ran's body.”Hearing the Han King's question, Red Lotus was shocked at first because she didn't seem to know why this medicinal cuisine was made.
However, the relevant memories soon surfaced in Red Lotus 'mind. She remembered what Black and White had told her the other day.
"Lord Ran? The envoy of Qin, Ran Xiu?" The King of Han quickly remembered who this Sir Ran was.
"Yes." Hong Lian nodded.
"In that case, Red Lotus and Ran Xiu have met before, and the reason why she cooked was actually for Ran Xiu, right?”As for the matter of Red Lotus and Ran Xiu meeting, the Han King was not aware of it.
However, King Han had clearly misunderstood Red Lotus 'intentions. Furthermore, Red Lotus had been led astray by King Han. Her face actually blushed.
Not long after Hong Lian's soul was sealed by Ran Xiu's Youxi, her body instinctively followed Ran Xiu's instructions." Because I'm worried about my father's health, I have to make medicinal cuisine for him to eat."
When the invisible power dissipated, Hong Lian's soul would naturally regain its perception of the outside world and be able to accept the memories that Ran Xiu had fabricated. Thus, Red Lotus only thought that she was worried about the Han King's health, which was why she went to make the medicinal cuisine.
"Hong Lian has really grown up." The Han King actually did not reject the interaction between Ran Xiu and Hong Lian, especially since Han Yu had recently proposed to marry Hong Lian to Ran Xiu in order to build a good relationship between Qin and Han.
King Han was somewhat moved by Han Yu's suggestion. After all, he had promised Ran Xiu to exchange five cities for Ji Wuye's head. However, after killing Ji Wuye, Han would definitely be weak for a period of time. He felt that it was impossible for the State of Qin to let go of such a good opportunity.
Although Ran Xiu was only an envoy, he was able to make the King of Qin and Lu Buwei look at him in a different light. He must be extraordinary. If they were to marry him, he would be able to deal with the Qin Kingdom and give them more benefits. Perhaps he could help the Han Kingdom safely get through the weak period.
As for not killing Ji Wuye, the King of Han felt that there would be no other way out. If he kept Ji Wuye alive, the Han Country would change its surname to Ji sooner or later. That would be no different from subjugation. It was better to take a gamble now.
"Father, what are you thinking about?”Looking at the King Han who had suddenly sunk into deep thought, Red Lotus felt a chill run down her spine.
"Red Lotus, the effects of this herbal dish are not bad. Tell me how you made it. I'll get someone to write it down and eat it often in the future.”The Han King no longer bothered about the relationship between Red Lotus and Ran Xiu. Instead, he asked Red Lotus for the recipe of this medicinal cuisine.
" First of all…" Hong Lian didn't know how she made this medicinal cuisine, but the fake memory that Ran Xiu had implanted into her had the recipe for the medicinal cuisine, so Hong Lian naturally knew how to do it.
"Ha ~" Red Lotus didn't say much before the Han King yawned. The effects of the medicinal cuisine were starting to show.
"Hong Lian, father was worried last night and couldn't sleep well. Now that he has eaten the medicinal cuisine, he is much better and a little tired. You can leave the cooking of the medicinal cuisine to Madam Ming Zhu.”
The King of Han stretched his back and gave the order to leave.
Although Hong Lian was unhappy, she knew the severity of the situation and left.
