There is a happy inn in the capital.

Chapter 318 You Feed Me

The sudden machine noise caused Li Shuchen's brain to freeze for two seconds.

Realizing what was happening, the thought popped into my head: "Little Jizi, is your energy recovery going smoothly?"

Everything is fine.

Then she was relieved.

Li Shuchen looked at Dan Yue, who was constantly crying and had no direction in her eyes, and said, "Miss Dan Yue, it's not good for you to keep crying like this."

Dan Yue Mumu said, "Miss Li, I don't want to cry either, but I can't forget him. I can't let go of our feelings of more than ten years."

"I was fortunate enough to receive a bottle of 'Forgetfulness Potion' from a wise man. Drinking it can make one forget the feelings one has for another. Would you be willing...?"

Before Li Shuchen could finish speaking, Dan Yue interjected, "I'm willing, Miss Li, I'm willing to drink. How much do you want?"

"I have no use for this; it's just sitting there. Since we're destined to meet, I'll give it to you. Wait here, I'll go get it for you right now."

After Li Shuchen finished speaking, he got up and left, quickly heading to the Three Treasures Hall.

"Miss is back. Has the Emperor made things difficult for her?"

Grape hurriedly went to Li Shuchen's side to check.

Li Shuchen: "No, the Emperor just asked me to buy essential oils, and he made over ten thousand taels of silver from it."

Grape beamed with joy: "Miss is truly amazing; she can even earn the Emperor's money!"

"I'm hungry. Go to the kitchen and tell them I want braised pork trotters with soybeans for dinner."

"okay"

After sending Grape away, Li Shuchen quickly opened his system space, took out the Forgetfulness Potion, hid it in his sleeve, and hurried downstairs.

Pale Moon Room

Li Shuchen took out the potion of forgetfulness and handed it to Dan Yue: "This is the potion of forgetfulness."

Without a moment's hesitation, Dan Yue picked it up, pulled out the cork, tilted her head back, and drank it all in one gulp.

Li Shuchen admired her decisiveness.

"Get some rest. Call me if you need anything. I'm leaving now."

The pale moon remained expressionless, its gaze fixed on the view outside the window.

Li Shuchen: "They're making braised pork trotters with soybeans in the kitchen. I'll bring some over when it's done."

Dan Yue nodded slightly upon hearing this, and Li Shuchen left with peace of mind.

Just stepped out of the room

Little Jizi's voice appeared in my mind.

[Side quest failed. Host will not receive any rewards. Please try again.]

Upon hearing this, Li Shuchen paused in his tracks and questioned, "I saw Dan Yue drink it with my own eyes, so why wasn't the mission completed? Xiao Jizi, did you pocket my reward?"

After you left, Miss Dan Yue spat the potion of forgetfulness into the flowerpot.

Huh? You threw up?

After a moment's thought, Li Shuchen understood: Dan Yue was determined to stay far away from Yuan Yi and would never love him again in this life.

That's fine.

……

For two days in a row, Li Shuchen spent time playing with Dan Yue, learning to draw, eating fruit, and talking about their ideals.

Dan Yue appeared perfectly normal, seemingly having truly drunk the potion of forgetfulness and forgotten Yuan Yi.

"Miss Li, I have finished drawing the portraits of all five of you. Please take a look and see what you think."

Five portraits lay sprawled on the table, identical as if copied and pasted.

Li Shuchen stroked each stroke: "Master Dan Yue's painting skills are indeed excellent, I like them very much."

Dan Yue smiled faintly: "If you like it, that's good."

"Miss, something terrible has happened!"

Grape hurriedly entered the house

Li Shuchen: "What's wrong?"

Grape stamped her foot in frustration: "The Tenth Prince is here!"

"what?"

Li Shuchen hurriedly walked out.

Where is he now?

Grape: "We went to a private room on the third floor."

Upon hearing this, Li Shuchen rushed to the third floor, just in time to see the Tenth Prince about to step into the house.

The Tenth Prince

The proud young man stopped in his tracks upon hearing this.

Li Shuchen quickly walked up and chuckled, "I was unaware of the Tenth Prince's arrival. Please forgive my lack of hospitality."

The aloof young man said calmly, "Then how should I punish you?"

Oh dear, she was just being polite, but the Tenth Prince took it seriously. How stingy!

Li Shuchen lowered his head, his mind churning, and after a few seconds of thought, he spoke.

"How about punishing this humble woman by making her accompany the Tenth Prince on a day of outings? The Tenth Prince's bathing isn't very interesting; let's go out and play instead."

Hehehe, she's so clever. This way, the Tenth Prince won't bathe, and he won't kill her shop's employees for not taking good care of them. How wonderful!

Li Shuchen's ideas were beautiful, but reality was far from what she hoped for.

The tenth prince spoke softly, "Your punishment is to serve me during my bath."

Upon hearing this, all the beautiful bubbles burst.

She's doomed. She failed to protect her employee, and she got herself killed in the process.

Li Shuchen, resigned to his fate, said bitterly, "Tenth Prince, please come in."

Everyone entered the house

Liu San added water to the bathtub.

The tenth prince sat lazily on the mahogany chair.

Li Shuchen stood to the side, pondering how to prevent the Tenth Prince from getting angry.

"You, peel a grape and feed it to me."

A cold voice rang out, and Li Shuchen snapped out of her daze, rolled her eyes, picked up a grape, and began to peel it.

Because she never peels grapes herself, it's incredibly difficult for her to peel them. She can only manage to scrape off a small piece each time, leaving her fingers covered in sticky, unpleasant grape juice.

The more you peel away the resentment, the stronger it becomes; the stronger the resentment, the more you want to curse.

Damn it, she doesn't even peel grapes herself, but today she's serving others!

The tenth prince is so young, yet he has so many demands. If he wants to eat something, can't he peel it himself?

She's always being bossed around, it's annoying.

"You seem to harbor some resentment towards me, the prince."

The tenth prince looked sharply at Li Shuchen.

Li Shuchen quickly lowered her head.

"This humble woman dares not, but I have never peeled grapes before, so I am inevitably a bit clumsy and afraid that I will not be able to take good care of the Tenth Prince."

Having said that, she handed the tenth prince a piece of grape flesh that was rough, pitted, uneven, and lacking any fruity texture.

The tenth prince glanced at it, frowned, and said, "Who could possibly eat you peeled like that? Find someone else."

"Yes, yes, it's my fault."

Li Shuchen bent down and stepped back, standing happily as he watched the servant in front of him peel grapes.

I must say, the grapes they peeled were truly excellent—round and plump, juicy and translucent, radiating fruity vitality.

She really wanted to eat it too!

Li Shuchen swallowed.

The tenth prince suddenly beckoned her forward, which delighted her, and the corners of her mouth turned up in a wide smile.

The tenth prince finally had a change of heart and decided to let her eat a grape too.

Li Shuchen obediently stepped forward and smiled, "Tenth Prince"

"You learn from him, you'll peel it in a bit."

The tenth prince spoke calmly.

Li Shuchen was deeply saddened.

Damn it, she always knows that you can't expect anything good to come out of a dog's mouth, and a stinky horse can't hold back a sweet fart.

She can't understand it even if you make her learn it.

"Yes, Tenth Prince, I will definitely study hard."

After Li Shuchen finished speaking, he stared blankly at the grapes, his mind filled with a multitude of wonderful ideas.

such as

A giant toad that constantly spits out gold coins;

A gold bowl that can replicate yellow and white objects;

A mysterious baguette that can turn lead into gold;

If she possessed these things, she could help the world, satisfy her compassion for the poor, and help save people from suffering.

You peel it.

The tenth prince spoke in a very strong tone.

Sensing the impatience, Li Shuchen immediately snapped back to reality and replied, "Yes."

Then I picked up a grape and peeled it. The result, as before, was unbearable to look at.

"Is this how you learned it?"

The tenth prince glanced at him.

Li Shuchen immediately apologized.

"Tenth Prince, please forgive me. I will peel another one."

One, two, three

Each one was so ugly it was unbearable to look at.

The tenth prince was also strange; he just stared at Li Shuchen peeling grapes without mentioning the matter of replacing him.
