C206 A World Without Warmth



C206 A World Without Warmth

The matter of fiefdom is more meaningful than practical.    

    

This was something that His Majesty wanted to hide. The feudal fiefdom was quite far away and not very large. In fact, he was planning to hide it.    

    

However, Xiao Yun did not agree. He directly announced the secret edict, and even made use of some forces to directly announce it!    

    

This made His Majesty extremely angry.    

    

He almost couldn't breathe.    

    

Only after he ate the third pill in advance did he manage to calm his breathing.    

    

He took a deep breath, then coughed twice and spat out a mouthful of black phlegm. There was a bloody smell in his breath, but it was obvious that his chest and abdomen had become much smoother, and his brain had become much clearer.    

    

"This damned bastard..."    

    

His Majesty cursed, then looked at the small brocade box that contained the medicine. He nodded and said, "This medicine is really not bad. I have to think of a way to get some more."    

    

After eating it three times, he naturally understood that this thing was a good life-saving thing. How could he not like it?    

    

This kind of medicinal pill had to be prepared regularly.    

    

Taking a deep breath, His Majesty looked at the mountain-high memorial in front of the table and fiercely said, "After Zhen deals with these, I will go and teach him a lesson!"    

    

It was as if he did not want to get Xiao Yun out of the prison.    

    

As for Xiao Yun at the same time, he was in the Imperial Prison carrying out a major matter!    

    

It could be considered a major undertaking!    

    

Of course, this was relative to him.    

    

The temperature had gradually turned cold. This Heavenly Prison was originally cold and damp. Even if there was sunlight shining on this place, the bone-piercing chill was still hard to resist.    

    

He had to get himself a good blanket!    

    

Shangguan Qing'er got people to buy a large flock of geese from outside the city.    

    

After dealing with it outside, she directly plucked out the fur. The layer of fur in the middle was carefully removed and stored in a bag before being transported to the prison.    

    

Xiao Yun was a hypocrite. He could not bear to see animals being harmed like this. As long as it was finished, as long as it was fur, he did not want anything else.    

    

The quality of these big geese was excellent. Their fur was stuck together, and each piece was the size of a thumb. When they were piled together, they would pinch a head and lift it up. The lower part would form a net, and it could be lifted into a fan shape!    

    

It was soft and soft, even lighter than the snow in winter!    

    

These things were more taboo to be compressed by hard force.    

    

Therefore, one had to be careful when pretending, and just as carefully when moving.    

    

The prison guards were all on tiptoes, carefully transporting these few pockets of velvet into Xiao Yun's room.    

    

Xiao Yun had already prepared the inner lining and laid out a layer of soft cloth first. After laying the foundation and waiting for the velvet to come, he immediately laid it evenly on top. One layer was about the thickness of a finger, and then another layer of soft cloth was immediately laid on top. According to the square stitch, he sewed it from beginning to end. After that, another layer was laid, and then sewn again. Five layers, just like that... It was almost as thick as a standing palm before he nodded his head in satisfaction. Seal the borders.    

    

He then used the good silk satin to make a blanket and put it on.    

    

And this was only a blanket. The mattress was made even more fiercely.    

    

Layers of velvet were directly made half a foot thick! When one laid down, half of one's body was stuck inside.    

    

Then, he covered it with a blanket... To be honest, if he was too far away, he would wish he could not see anyone inside!    

    

On the other side of the bed, he used two layers of wooden planks to cover the bed with thick and compressed hay. Through the tide and temperature, the topmost layer was covered with hay. Naturally, it had some elasticity and softness.    

    

After working for a whole day, Xiao Yun finally laid down in satisfaction. Because the silk fabric was cold, he shivered. When the temperature of the silk covered the area, it was really hot. There was no heat at all.    

    

It was warm. It was comfortable to lie down.    

    

Shangguan Qing'er thought for a moment and also crawled in. Then her eyes lit up. She asked in shock, "Young Master, why is it so comfortable? And it is so warm? It was as if he wasn't in the prison at all, nor was it the beginning of autumn. It's like it's summer!"    

    

Xiao Yun chuckled and said," This is the result of the predecessors' experiments. We are just sitting and enjoying the fruits of their labor. "    

    

" Is that so... Did the wise sages say so? Why have I never heard of such a use before?"    

    

" You are ignorant and incompetent, there are many things you have never heard of! "    

    

"Hmph!"    

    

Qing'er rolled her eyes at Xiao Yun, but did not move. She still lay there and twisted her body a few times, revealing a satisfied smile.    

    

This was an unprecedented feeling! Compared to this blanket, everything before was trash!    

    

Warm and light.    

    

Mi Ming looked so thick, but in the end, his weight was even lighter than the thin straw blanket from before. This was simply miraculous.    

    

In fact, cotton was an extremely rare and cheap thing in Great Qin Country.    

    

Speaking of which, it was somewhat contradictory. It should be precious because of its rarity, but in reality, it was not the case.    

    

Rich people mostly used silk, no matter if it was clothes or anything.    

    

Poor people mostly used mulberry. Of course, mulberry was also the meaning of silk, but the part that was used was very good.    

    

If it was a little worse, it would need grass.    

    

There were many types of grass, and there were a few that were cut at the end of the summer. After drying them, he used the wooden stick to continuously hit them, and in the end, there was a grass rope similar to a thread. These thin and soft grass ropes were the most important things in life.    

    

Whether it was the clothes he usually wore or the things that were stuffed in the bedding, they were all these things!    

    

The shoes were even simpler, they were grass shoes.    

    

Of course, there were also some places where leather was often used.    

    

So the leather was made into a blanket and filled with hay. This sounded a bit strange, but it was a daily occurrence in this world.    

    

As for why cotton was not recognized by everyone, it was actually because it was too high and too low. Rich people did not like to use it, and poor people could not afford to use it. It was stuck in the middle. He still felt that the sauna was more cost-effective, and he didn't even have any cotton thread weaving technology. This made it impossible to turn it into a product, so who would dare?    

    

To be honest, what made Xiao Yun feel the most "shock" in this world was not the major events in the Imperial Court. Conspiracy and intrigue were all the same no matter where they were placed.    

    

The only thing that made Xiao Yun feel better was his daily life.    

    

Using hot water would cost him his life.    

    

Going to the toilet was a great test to one's soul.    

    

After all, this paper was even more expensive than silk cloth in this world. A piece of paper was simply a "non-concept" object.    

    

Some people liked to use sticks, some liked to use ropes, some liked to dry naturally, then twist and shake it.    

    

Of course, there were also some who liked to let people lick it!    

    

When he first heard this, Xiao Yun was shocked.    

    

However, he immediately understood that this was a world where imperial power, democracy, and slavery coexisted.    

    

In fact, if he wanted to, he could totally let any servant girl from the Xiao family do this. They had to do it because their lives were at stake!    

    

In a sense, they were not humans.    

    

They were tools and assets that could be used or destroyed by their owners.    

    

How could there be peace and quiet in the years, and the people were simple and honest? There were only people who ate people more thoroughly!    

    

Xiao Yun rubbed the goose blanket on his body and thought of many things. Then, he let out a long sigh.    

    

Since it was a world where one ate people, then... it was either eating people or being eaten.    

    

Even if he can become a saint in the end, he will only be the saint that the people call a saint, a real devil, that's all.    

    

As he thought about it, Xiao Yun narrowed his eyes and gradually fell asleep.    

    

But in the next moment, he heard the cell door being kicked open.    

    

His Majesty actually came back!    

    

In two days, he came twice.    

    

He was even more diligent than during the morning court.    

    

Xiao Yun sat up in shock and stared blankly at His Majesty, his face full of confusion.    

    

When His Majesty just entered, he was prepared to beat someone up.    

    

However, when he saw Xiao Yun's current condition, he immediately flew into a rage and shouted in a stern voice, "Who is it? ! Who dared to sentence Xiao Yun privately? !”    

    

Torture?    

    

These two words caused Xiao Yun and the guards who were about to leave to be filled with question marks.    

    

The eunuch also let out a long sigh and hurriedly walked towards Xiao Yun. He stretched out his hand and grabbed Xiao Yun's arm, pulling him out with all his strength.    

    

His Majesty immediately shouted, "Don't use force! With such a heavy thing pressing down, if you pull him out and his leg is still pressing down, won't it break?!"
