Chapter 215 Procurement List
Chapter 215 Procurement List
After sleeping until after dawn, Long Chuqing returned to Qiushui Pavilion just before daybreak.
Back in her room, she untied the sash of her cloak and took it off, then removed her shoes and lazily climbed into bed.
Feng Yu said with a grin, "Qingqing, you're back so early! It's still dark outside! Judging from your appearance, you must have survived the cold night!"
Long Chuqing lay on the bed, listlessly replying, "Thanks to you all, I'm fine now."
Fei Feng said, "You're safe and sound, you must be thanks to Xiao Han, right? If anyone should be thanking someone, it should be Xiao Han!"
Feifeng pondered for a moment, then exclaimed, "Using yang to supplement yin! It seems this method is indeed effective! How come I didn't think of it before?"
Feng Yu asked curiously, "Qingqing, can I interview you? For example... how did the King of Qin help you expel the cold from your body? Hmm..."
Long Chu rolled his eyes after listening and replied awkwardly, "You've become curious now. Why did you refuse when I asked you last night if you wanted to come with me? Now you're asking me again."
"Hehe... I don't like watching that kind of scene, but I want to hear it!" Feng Yu said with a smile, "Isn't that right, Fei Feng?"
Upon seeing this, Fei Feng repeatedly agreed: "Yes, yes...that's exactly it."
Long Chuqing watched the two of them singing in unison and curled her lip. "Tch, boring. There's no scene at all! You're overthinking it."
Not getting the answer she wanted, Feng Yu couldn't help but ask again out of curiosity.
"Qingqing, what we're both concerned about is whether you confessed anything last night!"
Long Chuqing frowned slightly: "Feng Yu, what kind of nonsense are you thinking about!"
"Let me take a look." After saying that, Fei Feng transformed into golden light and covered Long Chuqing's body.
Long Chuqing's eyes widened immediately. She picked up a pillow from the side and started hitting herself with it, saying angrily, "Feifeng, believe it or not, I'll break you in two."
"Hehe... Don't be angry! I'm just concerned about you! If you're hurt, I can help you treat it."
"What kind of outrageous things are you saying? You two are so boring! Humph..."
"Haha... don't get impatient! Qingqing..." Feng Yu said leisurely from the side.
Fei Feng couldn't help but complain, "Is Xiao Han even a man? How can he resist having such a beautiful woman sleeping next to him?"
Feng Yu disagreed, saying, "But this shows that he has good self-control and did not take advantage of Qingqing's weakness to force himself on her."
"Hmm... in that case, it's not bad." Fei Feng said in a test-like tone, "You've passed my test in terms of character."
"You two are really going off on a tangent, the topic has gone completely off course."
Long Chu rolled her eyes at their teasing. She picked up a pillow and covered her face, ignoring their banter.

Xiao Han sat solemnly in the study.
He recalled the discussions that took place in the Imperial Study earlier that day.
The Northern invaders have recently repeatedly attacked our borders. They not only have excellent weapons, but also a large number of cavalry regiments. We need to make plans for them as soon as possible.
The Ministry of War has consistently failed to produce high-quality weapons. The latest batch of swords and blades are too fragile and break easily with even the slightest impact.
If war breaks out between the two countries again, we will definitely be at a disadvantage and will inevitably suffer losses in terms of weapons.
His brows were furrowed, his gaze fixed on the swords, bows, and crossbows sent by the Ministry of War placed on the table, his face full of worry.
Weapons are what soldiers rely on to fight bravely on the battlefield. But these swords and knives are so vulnerable. How can they possibly fight against the enemy on the cruel battlefield?
He knew all too well how important a good weapon was to a soldier.
However, the artisans in the Ministry of War are now facing an insurmountable problem in their production. Despite repeated attempts, they are unable to make further breakthroughs and develop more robust and durable weapons.
Recalling the soldiers who sacrificed their lives on the battlefield, those shocking and tragic scenes, must we allow such tragedies to continue to unfold?
This thorny problem needs to be solved as soon as possible, but he's not a professional and doesn't know where to start.
He slowly stood up and walked to the bookshelf, beginning to search for books related to weapon making.
Qingying, who was guarding outside the study, saw Long Chuqing walking slowly towards them and greeted her, "Miss Long..."
"Hmm, Qingying...is your prince in the study?" Long Chuqing pointed to the study behind her.
"Yes, the prince is inside."
"Then go in and let him know for me, I need to speak with him."
Qingying turned around and glanced at the study. When the prince returned earlier, he looked worried. She wondered if going in now would disturb him.
"What's wrong? Is it inconvenient?"
Seeing Qingying hesitate, Long Chuqing wisely said, "Then forget it! I don't necessarily have to go in to find him. Just give him this list of medicinal herbs."
She handed the folded piece of paper in her hand to Qingying.
Just then, Xiao Han's voice came from inside the study.
"Chu Qing...did you come to see me? Come in!"
Seeing this, Qingying quickly tried to cover it up: "Miss Long, I never said I wouldn't go and report it for you. Don't tell the prince anything when you go in."
"I haven't said anything yet! You're just feeling guilty!"
"Hehe..." Qingying scratched her head and grinned awkwardly.
"Oh, please come in." He pushed open the door behind him, turned to the side, and made a fawning gesture of invitation.
Long Chuqing gave him a helpless glare, then stepped inside.
Upon seeing Long Chuqing walking towards him, Xiao Han forced a smile onto his previously worried face. "Chuqing..."
"I'm reading! I hope I didn't disturb you! You told me to make more medicinal wine for sprains and bruises, but I'm out of some of the herbs, so I need to buy them again, and I also need to buy a few more jars."
“Okay.” Xiao Han reached out and took the list from her, then suddenly remembered something else.
Why not take this opportunity to have Chu Qing prepare more medicine for external injuries, just in case?
"Chu Qing, I need a lot of external wound medicine. If you have time during this period, could you make more? You don't need to do it yourself. I can arrange more manpower for you. You just need to prepare the medicine and instruct others to do the work."
Judging from his expression today, he seems a bit unnatural, and he's saying he needs a lot of external wound medicine. Could something be wrong?
Her gaze fell on the swords and crossbows placed on the table, and she could roughly guess that they were related to military affairs.
“Sure! Then I’ll have to make a new list, since we don’t have many medicinal herbs left in Qiushui Pavilion.”
