Chapter 315 Something is wrong

He seemed a little embarrassed at the end, but he was really greedy, so he added: "All those treasures are given to you, it shouldn't be too much for you to give me a few drops of spiritual liquid. I heard that you have a lot of spiritual liquid."

At the end, he sounded a little pitiful. It seemed that he was really envious of the ginseng water. It seems that ginseng water is widely circulated among plants!

"I understand your request, but I have to find a way to get the emperor's consent as to how to dig it. I can give you some spiritual fluid now."

Shu Xiaoxiao said as she placed her hand on the root of the cypress tree and dripped a few drops of undiluted ginseng water. Somehow, this was ginseng's bath water before, but after the ginseng treasure was cultivated, the plants began to call this ginseng water spiritual liquid. Because the effect was getting better and better, she didn't dare to use undiluted ginseng water, for fear that the effect would be too obvious and people would notice something was wrong.

So even for such a big cypress tree, Shu Xiaoxiao only dripped a few drops.

Shu Xiaoxiao felt that maybe with the cultivation of ginseng treasure, the effect of ginseng water became better, so these plants were called spiritual liquid.

When the spiritual liquid dripped on his body, Bai Shu moaned comfortably twice, saying that his vision was not wrong. This little kid was soft-hearted and gave him the spiritual liquid before the treasure was even dug out.

In this way, after digging up the treasures, maybe you can even ask the little kid for some more. This is a good deal!

Bai Shu said generously: "You are a wise little kid. Don't worry, these are all treasures. I will keep them all for you!"

Shu Xiaoxiao just laughed.

In this Qianqing Palace, as long as the emperor did not agree, who would have the courage to come and dig for treasures even if they knew there were treasures here? Even if they were not kept for her, they could not be given to others, otherwise it would be her turn.

In other places, digging three feet deep is no problem, but here, even if you don't want your head anymore, you may not be able to dig it out.

You said that the licentious and tyrant emperor who buried the treasure was smart, because he lost his own kingdom; if you say he was stupid, the treasure he hid in the dark for a hundred years was not discovered by anyone. It turns out that those who can become emperors are not ordinary people.

After all, who could have thought that the baby would be under the nose of the new emperor!

The problem is how to tell the emperor. I can't just say: Your Majesty, the cypress tree in your palace told me that there is a treasure buried underneath it. Let's dig it up!

Then it is not a lucky star, but a monster. In ancient times, especially in front of powerful and intelligent people, one must be cautious and not mess around, otherwise you will be regarded as a monster and it will be too late to cry.

While Shu Xiaoxiao was still worried, the emperor came over happily after finishing his business: "Lord Ye, how are my sweet potatoes growing?"

As his body recovered, the emperor's majesty grew greater, and even several princes became more restrained when they saw their father now in good health. Although they were still ambitious, they did not dare to act too blatantly.

The emperor was dignified and solemn in front of others, but to Ye Bo, the lucky star of Daning and the one who brought him huge benefits, the emperor's attitude could be described as kind. He did not have any of the majestic and mysterious look of the court. His approachable attitude and kind smile made him seem like an elder who doted on his children at home, making people feel no pressure at all.

Seeing the emperor like this, Eunuch Fu was surprised, and he looked at Shu Xiaoxiao with a more respectful expression. Not to mention the palace, even to Prince Yun, the emperor was not so approachable! It seems that he has to be more respectful to Master Ye in the future.

Shu Xiaoxiao didn't complain. Her old master said that she didn't have such intentions and had made great contributions. She just needed to behave normally in front of the emperor. The emperor usually wouldn't care about her. Even if she wanted to play tricks, she didn't have the ability to do so. It was better for her to just let it go and leave a good impression on the emperor.

"Your Majesty, you grew them very well and they are big. How about we try some now?" Shu Xiaoxiao pointed at the sweet potatoes sticking out and accidentally spit out her tongue. She admitted that she was a little greedy.

"Can we eat it now?" the emperor asked doubtfully.

Dean Chu stood by and groaned helplessly, explaining, "She started to eat the sweet potatoes when they were the size of a palm. The longer they grow, the bigger they get, but you can still eat them when they are still small."

He used to think that his apprentice was wasting food, but after tasting the food, he was too lazy to care about him. After all, he had planted so many trees, so one or two more wouldn't make a difference.

"Yes, Your Majesty, these sweet potatoes are different from other grains. They must be ripe to be delicious. As long as the sweet potatoes are ripe, you can eat them. The taste is almost the same, but you can harvest more when they are ripe."

Shu Xiaoxiao explained embarrassedly that she had wanted to save them for seeds, hoping to spread them to the people of Daning as soon as possible so that no one would go hungry. Before they were ripe, she resisted the urge to eat any of them.

But it’s not certain this year. Almost every household in Daning has planted some. She knows the yield of sweet potatoes. If there is a good harvest, the yield will be enough for next year, if not the year after. So why is she so reluctant to give them up? The ones planted in the back mountain were planted purely to satisfy her craving, so isn’t it normal to eat them in advance?

"Oh, in that case, let's try it today. Shanzhang and Ye Boye, please stay in the palace for dinner and taste the sweet potato with me."

As he spoke, he ordered Eunuch Fu to start digging sweet potatoes. Although it was not yet the harvest season, it had to be said that the sweet potatoes in the palace grew really well. The dug sweet potatoes were slender and smooth. Shu Xiaoxiao quickly picked up the candied sweet potatoes she wanted to eat.

Candied sweet potato is easy to make. Shu Xiaoxiao briefly explained the steps and Eunuch Fu nodded and affirmed that it could be made. Shu Xiaoxiao had confidence in the imperial kitchen and believed that it would be better.

The sweet potato issue was resolved. Shu Xiaoxiao walked around the cypress tree twice and asked carefully, "Your Majesty, Master, do you feel that there is something wrong with this tree?"

"No, something's wrong!" Principal Chu was startled and immediately stood in front of the emperor. Eunuch Fu also protected the emperor in the blink of an eye.

Shu Xiaoxiao also didn't expect that Eunuch Fu had such good skills. It turned out that people around the emperor, especially those around a wise emperor, should be very powerful.

The guards around had their hands on the hilts of their swords, their eyes fixed on the cypress tree, as if they had scanned the tree inside and out. Shu Xiaoxiao had no doubt that if anything popped out where the cypress tree was, it would be pierced into a hedgehog.

Master Chu knew his disciple's perception. When he heard something wrong in the palace, he immediately thought of poison, mutual generation and mutual restraint, or someone had done something to the cypress tree. In any case, the possibility of it being a good thing was not high.

Even the emperor's eyes became darker, and he said in a deep voice: "Protect Master Ye."

He had also heard of Shu Xiaoxiao's abilities, not to mention that she was Daning's lucky star. If she said something wrong, it was highly credible, and the emperor had no doubts at all.
