159, the sky hasn't fallen yet

Taiping Medical Hall's courtyard had no lights, only the early rising moonlight.

Sweat on Chen Ji's head turned into white mist in the cold air, and the strong servant brought by Princess Consort Jing appeared solemn, as if ready to pounce at any moment.

They looked at Chen Ji indifferently, and Chen Ji returned their stares. She Dengke and Liu Quxing squatted by the kitchen door, not knowing what to do. Liang Gou'er had gone out to drink and was nowhere to be found.

However, Liang Mao'er paid no attention to the others. He brought a bowl of rice from the kitchen and handed it to Chen Ji, saying earnestly, "Haven't eaten yet, huh? Hurry up and have a few bites."

Looking at the white rice and arranged slices of cured meat in the bowl, Chen Ji asked, "Is this saved for me?"

Liang Mao'er smiled and placed a pair of bamboo chopsticks on the bowl, "Master said at noon that you would come back and asked to save it for you."
