Chapter 678 Absurd Country

Rong Yu stood up, took Nan Xi's hand and walked to the inner palace, and sent everyone out.

Yinyue made hot tea for the two masters, brought several plates of snacks freshly made in the imperial kitchen, and then left with the palace guests.

"How are you feeling today?"

"Except for being a little hot, I don't feel anything else." Rong Yu turned around and motioned to Nan Xi to touch the back of his neck, "It must be sweating."

Nan Xi stretched out her hand and touched it, and she did break out a thin layer of sweat.

Rong Yu took Nan Xi and sat down in front of the couch, encircling her whole body in his arms. His voice was gentle and soft: "But I know Xi'er is doing it for my own good. It's okay to be a little hot."

Although this sounds quite sweet, Nan Xi doesn't buy it: "Don't you say that martial arts practitioners are not afraid of cold and heat? There are only two pots of charcoal fire in this hall, so it should not be too hot to bear."

Rong Yu was speechless for a moment, then raised his lips and smiled: "What I mean is that Xi'er's care for me is like the warm sun in summer, warming me from head to toe."

"The warm sunshine in spring is better." Nan Xi corrected seriously, "The sun in summer is too hot and can burn people to death."

Rong Yu hummed: "Xi'er is right."

"But what I mean is, why are you sweating?" Nan Xi frowned, "Are you weak?"

Rong Yu was silent: "Should I have someone prepare the coffin in two days—"

"Shut up." Nan Xi stared at him with an unkind expression, "What nonsense are you talking about? You've only been alone in the palace for less than an hour, and you're starting to think wildly and moan for nothing?"

"No." Rong Yu shook his head quickly, "I was joking."

"No joking allowed."

"Yes." Rong Yu kissed her face and finally confessed honestly, "When you went to court, I did my exercises to ward off the cold for a while. There was a stove next to me. After doing the exercises, I sweated a little. I planned to Waiting for you to come back and take a bath together."

After a pause, "After taking the medicated bath last night, I felt a warm air current in my body all night long. It must be that the medicine has taken effect."

Nan Xi pondered: "The medicine Chu Nanyi gave you must be good, and the effect is obvious and normal."

Although Chu Nanyi said that it cannot be completely eradicated, no matter what the disease is, it depends on the doctor's conditioning method and the efficacy of the medicinal materials used. When treating his master, Chu Nanyi will definitely try his best to find the best medicinal materials, even if it cannot be completely cured , and can be nursed back to normal as much as possible.

Only the patient's cooperation is required during the recuperation period.

Nan Xi felt relieved after hearing that he was okay, and finally had the mood to make fun of him: "Chu Nanyi said that the medicinal materials used in medicinal baths are very expensive. As the regent of Dongling and Dazhou, he is the owner of Jiuxiao Pavilion's wealth. , The medicinal materials Chu Nanyi used for you are actually expensive, which shows that they are really expensive. You might as well think about how much silver it costs for a medicinal bath? "

"Then what should we do?" Rong Yu lowered his eyebrows and looked at her, "I won't take any medicinal baths after that, so I can save money?"

Nan Xi raised her hand and pinched his ear.

Rong Yu chuckled: "Xi'er is becoming more and more like a mistress of the house."

"Huh?" Nan Xi raised her eyebrows.

Being the matron of the house?

"That's not right." Rong Yu thought for a while, and somehow it brought back a relatively distant memory, "I remember reading a book by chance before, and I forgot the name. That country seemed to be a real country where women were respected. Women are respected, men are vassals and have a low status. The husband calls his wife the wife's master. Men must serve the wife's master wholeheartedly in order to get a little favor... Yes, what I just wanted to say is that Xi'er is becoming more and more like a wife's master. "

Nan Xi's expression was subtle and she looked at him with strange eyes: "A country where women are respected?"

Wife? What?

Rong Yu nodded: "It should be. But I doubt it was a ridiculous story made up by some boring person. It definitely does not exist in history."

"I don't think it's possible either." Nan Xi began to analyze with him rationally, "You see, men are naturally stronger than women. They are physically stronger and can endure hardships much better than women. Only men can be used on the battlefield, even if they occasionally do. There are only a few women in command, and Chu Hongyi has only been born in Dongling so far. Even the most ordinary civilians still need men to be responsible for the main physical work. If a weak woman is allowed to take charge, the world will be in chaos. ?”

Rong Yu was silent for a moment: "The book seems to say that women are stronger and men are more delicate."

Nan Xi was silent, her eyes getting weirder.

She looked Rong Yu up and down. His tall and straight body was slim and slim. Although he was not strong, he definitely hid an unparalleled strength.

And it is no exaggeration to say that if Rong Yu is willing to take action, she, the Queen of Dongling, is not strong enough for Rong Yu to crush her to death with just one finger.

Delicate?

She really couldn't imagine what a frail man looked like, and how frail he was compared to a woman.

Nan Xi lowered her head and looked at herself: "Are you more delicate than me?"

Rong Yu added another important fact: "Men can give birth to children."

Nan Xi was stunned: "..." What kind of strange country is that?

Why is everything so fantasy?

The air seemed to become extremely strange, and she couldn't help but glance at Rong Yu's abdomen. She really couldn't imagine the man with a pregnant belly.

"Who has such a rich imagination." Nan Xi said silently, "If men could really have children, Xie Jin and Xuanyuan Yao wouldn't have to worry about heirs."

"No." Rong Yu corrected calmly, "If they were born in a country where women are respected, people like Xuanyuan Yao and Xie Jin would have been buried long ago."

Nan Xi was silent for a moment, then smiled.

Shen Tang?

Well, those who are shocking and dare to challenge the secular and female authority should indeed be punished.

Just like how many places now treat women who misbehave, there seems to be a punishment method like Shen Tang that is more unacceptable.

"Since it is a fictional story, why not read it as a book of myths? Turning over a few pages at your leisure may make you feel very happy." Nan Xi raised her eyes, "Where is that book? Is it still available? ?”

Rong Yu thought for a while: "I forgot where I saw it. Let me think about it, maybe I can think of it."

"It's best if you can find it. It doesn't matter if you can't find it. It's not that important." Nan Xi said, "But what I'm curious about is, how could you see that kind of book? You shouldn't have found it yourself. Then Who gave it to you?"

Rong Yu glanced at him.

Nan Xi's eyes were subtle and thoughtful: "Such a book should not be an ordinary thing that is readily available among the people, so the possibility of others giving it to you is extremely small."

"It seems to be in the library of the Imperial Palace of the Zhou Dynasty." Rong Yu recalled, "It's been a long time, so long that I can't remember clearly. I probably wasn't that old when I saw that book. After reading it, I just felt ridiculous. , and put it back casually. If you are lucky, the book may still be in the Dazhou Library. "
