    As soon as Ella returned to the palace, went back to the dormitory to change her civilian clothes, and went to find Lucis.

    She told Lucis what happened today, with an angry expression, obviously very dissatisfied with what they did.

    "The selection of officials obviously has different standards from mine. This time, please choose another official who agrees with my ideas to select the person in charge. In addition, I think it is necessary to add two more people to manage and record food consumption, so as not to enrich people's pockets."

    Lucy's complexion was not very good. Although Ella didn't blame him, it was obvious that the officials and stewards who did the work made him lose face in front of Ella.

    This was originally just a trivial matter, so he just casually ordered it to be handled by the officials below, but he didn't expect such a mistake to happen.

    The unspoken rules of Sathya’s officialdom do not exclude officials from receiving some gifts. In many cases, as long as the amount is not large, the superiors will turn a blind eye when they know it, but the premise is that they can’t disobey their orders and mess up the errandsup.

    Of course, things like taking things that don't belong to them are not allowed if the hands are too long.

    It seems that he should really rectify the situation of officials accepting bribes.

    He immediately said: "I will re-select someone again, this kind of thing will not happen again."

    From his expression, you can tell that those officials who made him lose face are going to be bad, but whoever made them do something wrong, since they made a mistake, they must be prepared to accept punishment.

    "You came just in time. Vizier is back, and the new court date has been set, just three days later."

    The prime minister led a mission to visit other countries, and he should have received a grand welcome when he returned home, but apart from such things, the prime minister came back alone, and the original treatment was gone. Lucis had already made an allowance for not being a prisoner.

    After the prime minister came back, he asked Lucis to let him see his relatives, of course, the two who were imprisoned.

    Visil has one son and two daughters. The older two were born to him and his ex-wife. They are much older than Rebecca. Because of the discord with their stepmother, they left home to live their own lives after they got married.Therefore, although they were also implicated in this incident, they were not imprisoned after all. They were only temporarily detained in their respective homes, and it was naturally not them that Visil wanted to see.

    Lucis agreed to Visil's request.

    When they returned to Boiman, the two main criminals, Percybsen and Papera, along with Rebecca and other prisoners involved in these incidents, were also escorted back from Tanis, and they are now locked in the prison of the palace.

    After going to see his wife and daughter and talking for a long time, Visil, who was already very old, seemed to be ten years older when he came out.Si resigned as prime minister and requested that Papera and others be tried as soon as possible.

    Ella was very puzzled by this: "Did he not plead for them at all? I heard that they are a very loving couple, and the prime minister also loves his daughter Rebecca very much. He compares her to his first two children."Everything is fine."

    But now it sounds like, let alone pleading, the Prime Minister seems to have a feeling that he wants to convict them as soon as possible.

    Originally, Lucis didn't want to talk about some of the nasty things, but since Ella asked, thinking that she would know sooner or later, Lucis said it.

    "Because Rebecca is probably not Visil's child."

    "Um?"

    Ella didn't expect to hear such explosive news, but even more explosive news is yet to come.

    Lucis told him the inside information he had so far: "Papela gave birth to Rebecca in less than eight months after marrying Visil. At that time, it was said that Papera accidentally fell.It caused premature birth, and it seems to have something to do with the prime minister's first two children." For this reason, Vizier, the prime minister, has always favored Rebecca over the years.

    Lucis also discovered that there was a problem with this matter when someone investigated Papera.

    Yes, in Sathya, it is very difficult to feed premature babies, even if they are brought up, they will have some minor problems." But according to the woman who was in charge of delivering Papera at the time, although the newborn Rebecca was small and thin,, but the body is in good condition, not as weak as a normal premature baby at all."

    "But on the day the child was born, it was reported that the child had to be taken care of because of premature birth and was in poor health. At that time, there were medical priests from the temple to testify, so no one doubted it. Even the mother-in-law thought that she had made a wrong judgment."

    Fortunately, the midwife was not a talkative person, and she never expressed her doubts at the time. Otherwise, with Papera's personality, she might not be alive now.

    Of course, since Papera had already been arrested, and the investigator sent by His Majesty came to question her, the midwife naturally didn't dare to hide it, and she couldn't even hold back her doubts at the time.

    After knowing this, the investigators will naturally continue to investigate. They even went to Visil's eldest son and daughter to inquire about the situation at the time from their mouths, but the two brothers and sisters who were already sensible at the time naturally refused to admit it.They have done harm to their stepmother.

    Especially the younger eldest daughter, who was very impressed by that time, and now looks resentful in retrospect, because of this incident, they have suffered a lot of grievances over the years..

    "She fell on purpose, we didn't push her at all."

    The prime minister, Vizier, knew that Rebecca was not his daughter, and that's why he had this attitude.

    "Why did he suddenly know? Did Papera tell him?"

    "Of course it's impossible. Her only hope now is to ask Visier to help her. If Visier is willing to intercede for her, maybe I will be willing to spare her life."

    "Do you know?"

    Lucis affirmed: "Of course not."

    He has never been a big-hearted person, how could he spare the person who wanted his life just because of the prime minister's pleading, even if it was his sister.

    Papera still didn't know him well enough.

    "Visil will find out because he saw Percybsen."

    When Lucis said this, his face became a little weird.

    "Huh? What does this have to do with Percybson?"

    The corner of Lucis's mouth twitched, as if he was reluctant to mention this matter: "He suspected that Rebecca might be the child of Papera and Percybson."

    "ah?!"

    Ella almost choked on the answer, if she was drinking water right now she would spit it out.

    "How is it possible? Aren't they siblings? He has evidence?"

    Too shocked, she asked a series of questions.

    And that's what Lucy thought at the time.

    He still still remembered how Vizier answered him.

    He said that he suspected that Rebecca might not be his child a long time ago, because Rebecca didn't look like him, and she didn't have any resemblance to her two brothers and sisters, but because Rebecca was olderThe older he got, the more he looked like Papera, and he told himself that he was thinking too much, and that the youngest daughter just looked like his wife.

    But after seeing Percybson, Vizier was shaken.

    Lucis asked Ella: "Do you think Rebecca looks like Percybson?"

    Ella recalled the looks of Percybson and Rebecca. The former was already a prisoner when he saw him, and his body was gloomy.At first glance, there doesn't seem to be much similarity.

    So she shook her head, not like it.

    "I think so too, but Vizier doesn't think so."

    The royal family has always had the habit of marrying foreign princesses, so the entire royal family is of mixed blood. Their appearance is quite different from that of pure Sathyas.The same is true of Buson, and his hair is not black, but brown, and he is also curly, and his eyes are blue.

    And Rebecca has brown curly hair and blue eyes.

    "But Papera also has brown hair, right? As for blue eyes, maybe it's a coincidence, maybe Papera's mother has blue eyes? Inherited from generation to generation?"

    "Inherited from generation to generation?" Chewing this fresh vocabulary in his mouth, Lucis told Ella: "That is indeed what it means. Papera's mother was born in a Sathya nobleman, and she is a pure Sathya.My grandfather had blue eyes."

    So no one has ever wondered why Visil and Papera's two black eyes gave birth to Rebecca's blue eyes. This kind of situation is not uncommon, but very rare, just like Ella said, it is inherited from generation to generation.

    Ella spread her hands: "Look, this situation is possible. It is too arbitrary to conclude that Rebecca is Percybson's child based on this alone."

    It's not that she insists on proving that this is impossible, but that Papera and Percybson are half-siblings, and they got mixed up and gave birth to a child?This kind of unethical love really ruined Ella's three views, she couldn't accept it.

    "That alone, of course, is not enough evidence, but Vizier says that Percybsen had a birthmark of a peculiar shape on his back, and that Rebecca had it when she was a child."

    This birthmark was what made Vizier more suspicious.

    Sathia is very hot, but places like dungeons are cold and humid. Originally, the birthmark on Posibsen's back was relatively hidden and usually not visible, but Lucis was not polite to this cheap brother, because the fake priestessThe matter has not been investigated clearly, so he ordered Percybsen to be tortured. Even so, the former prince still said that the matter had nothing to do with him, and Lucis turned his attention to the more suspicious Pape.La, it was only because of Visil that he didn't torture her.

    Percybsen, who had been whipped a few times, was already in tatters, revealing the birthmark on his back, and he was still imprisoned next to Papera, so Visil, who went to visit Papera,Just saw this birthmark.

    Rebecca originally had a similar birthmark in the same place, but when she was a baby, the nanny who took care of her accidentally knocked over the brazier, and the sparks in the brazier flew out and fell on Rebecca's back, just scalded that piece of skin, and after it was cured, the birthmark turned into a scald mark.

    If Vizier hadn't seen the birthmark several times before and remembered it because of its special shape, he would not have thought of Rebecca when he saw the birthmark on Percybsen's body now.

    Unlike his own daughter, who has eyes of the same color as others, and birthmarks of the same position and shape, when all these are put together, Vizier immediately goes berserk.

    He questioned Papera directly, maybe because he didn't expect that the secret would be revealed so suddenly. Although Papera didn't admit it, her reaction at that time was immediately known to Visil, who knew his wife well., my guess is correct.

    "So, Rebecca is really Percybson's child?"

    Lucis nodded heavily: "Although I really don't want to admit it, this should be the case."

    Ella was going crazy: "Then why are you so calm, don't you think this kind of thing is ridiculous? And this is a royal scandal, right? Tell me is it really okay?"

    ·····

    Lucis was of course calm, his shock had run out before that.

    And it's a scandal for other people, but it's really not uncommon among the royal families of the non-continental countries.

    In the era when theocracy and kingship coexisted, the royal families of all countries like to myth themselves, and in order to keep the royal blood pure, many royal families advocate the marriage of close relatives, and it is a very close one. Brother and sister marriage is not uncommon, and father and daughter are morethere is.

    There was a time when the royal family of Sathya was like this. At that time, Sathya was not the current Sathya. They were just a small city-state on this land.During the month of the Southern and Northern Wars, they defeated the current Sathya, and at that time the king, that is, the ancestors of Lucis often combined with close relatives.

    Although this habit of intermarriage is gone now, it can be seen from the fact that the princess of the previous king can be inherited by the next king that they don't care about ethical issues.

    Probably because of this, Visil dared to tell Lucis directly.

    Of course, this does not mean that he is indifferent to this. Of course he is angry, not only because what Papera and Percybson have done has shamed the royal family, but also because they know Rebecca's life experience., Papera is also very active in trying to push her daughter to the back position, which really disgusts Lucis.

    But that's all.

    That's why Lucis calmed down so quickly, and directly dealt with all the insiders including Vizier without getting angry, and even had the mood to talk to Ella about it.

    "So, what are you going to do with this?"

    "Treat it as if you don't know, and decide what to do when the time comes."

    Although this incident is very common in the royal family, it is still a scandal. Except for insiders and Ella, Lucis does not intend to let more people know about it.Will be executed, Rebecca can't escape because of poisoning at the royal banquet and almost affected Lucis, Visil is smart enough, but also has a face, he will never say something that makes him lose faceIt is something that is lost, so no one will pursue the secrets.

    Unexpectedly, when Visil questioned Papera, although the cell was not next to them, Rebecca, who was actually not far from them, also heard it.

    Both Papera and Percybson are members of the royal family, and they will be given special treatment even in prison. The cell they are in is originally prepared for royal members who made mistakes. There are no other prisoners in this area, and RebeccaAlthough she has royal blood, she is no longer a member of the royal family, so her cell is in another area, but it is already the closest, but her cell is located at the corner. When Visil entered the cell, she was the first to meet.At that time, Vizier also comforted his daughter who was in a bad situation, and promised that he would try his best to save her life.

    Rebecca, who had been imprisoned in the cell before and was going crazy, finally calmed down after being comforted by her father. It was this quietness that allowed her to hear her parents' conversation.

    Although she didn't hear her mother's acknowledgment, from the moment her father didn't even want to look at her again and left the prison angrily without looking back, she knew that she couldn't count on him.

    The conversation between her parents almost made her collapse, and even made her hate her mother, who made her lose the last straw, so this selfish girl once again told the jailer that she had a secret to tellLucis.

    Lucis didn't want to see her at first, but changed his mind when word came that what she was going to say was about slave girls who pretended to be priests.

    After seeing the person, Rebecca directly expressed the hope that Lucis would guarantee to save her life after she told the inside story.

    The young girl didn't know that sometimes living is far more painful than dying, but this time Lucis was "merciful" once, and he didn't intend to spare Rebecca's life. The girl obviously knew her life experience,And she is stupid and selfish, as long as she is alive, this royal scandal may be leaked, Lucis does not allow this kind of thing to happen.

    But this does not prevent him from fooling Rebecca.

    He replied indifferently with two words: "Speak."

    In the ears of Rebecca, who is not deeply involved in the world, this is the condition that Lucis agreed to her, but in fact Lucis did not agree to anything.

    So Rebecca told what she knew.

    Just as they guessed, the matter of the priestess was indeed related to Papera, but this person was not originally arranged to deal with Ella.

    For a long time, Papera has been coveting the throne of the queen. Since Rebecca grew up to the age where she could talk about marriage, she persuaded her husband Visil to propose this idea to Lucy, but LucySi refused directly.

    But Papera did not give up. Her idea was very simple. As long as Lucis did not marry the queen, her Rebecca would still have a chance. Of course, this always ambitious princess would not sit still.

    The action she took was to weed out all other potential candidates for queenhood.

    She arranged for people to insert into the homes of those nobles with different identities, allowing them to gain the trust of their masters and lurk beside those unmarried ladies, waiting for the opportunity to move.

    The female slave who appeared as a priestess was originally aimed at a girl from Uncle Lucis's family, but she was sold to that little nobleman by a slave trader by mistake. Because of the status of the other party's court steward, the person in charge thought that she might be able to use it in the future.Instead of getting her back, she made her work hard to become the personal maid of that noble lady.

    Later, Ella came to Sathia, which made Papera feel the crisis, so this pawn was used, disguised as a priestess, and tampered with Ella while she was bathing in holy water.

    The reason why Rebecca knew this was because her mother did not hide it from her. She even wanted to cultivate her daughter's abilities and means to prepare for her becoming a queen in the future.

    But it's a pity that Rebecca's abilities are limited. She did learn a lot from Papera, but she was more selfish and reckless.situation.

    Of course, Papera has been hiding from Rebecca about the assassination of Lucis. After all, she seems to like the current king Lucis. In order not to hinder the plan, she will not tell Rebecca..

    But in fact, Rebecca was more or less aware of some inside information. She didn't like Lucis as much as she showed. Like Papera, it was that position that attracted her more, so in LucisWhen she didn't want to marry her, she just turned a blind eye and pretended not to know her mother's plan.

    "What did she do in the water?"

    Rebecca wanted to say that she didn't know, but under Rusissen's cold gaze, she finally faltered and confessed: "She had someone add the blood of a malaria patient to the water."

    Hearing this answer, the aura of Lucis' whole body suddenly exploded, and the coldness and murderous intent surrounded Rebecca, as if it would tear her apart in the next second.

    Lucis is really angry now. Malaria is a dangerous disease that everyone knows. As long as it is almost incurable and highly contagious, Papera chooses to do this because he doesn't care about other diseases.People were infected, including Lucis.

    This was also a murder of Lucis, and Rebecca had already known the facts but remained indifferent. It was obvious that she didn't really like Lucis either.

    As long as Lucis thought that if Aila really got sick at that time, he could only die miserably after the treatment failed, the blood on his body would freeze at that moment.

    Luckily, thankfully she's okay.

    Lucis looked coldly at the fallen Rebecca, at this moment he really wanted to kill her directly to vent his anger.

    But no, the trial was about to begin, and he needed to keep her as a witness.

    He suppressed his murderous intent, and called the waiter outside to bring paper and pen to Rebecca.

    "Write down everything you know, and a list of those who were sent out."

    Since it is a planned action, it is inevitable that there is only one person. Of course, Lucis doesn't care how many people Rebecca can remember, even if there is only one, as long as this result is put in front of those nobles, they will naturallyCheck out the people around you.

    He left the cell and went to see Ira immediately.

    Ella is of course still busy at this time.

    The tea tree bought before has been carefully maintained by the gardeners, and have recently begun to recover, so Ella is going to pick some leaves and try to fry tea.

    Because there were not many of them, she didn't ask others to help, so she picked them with a basket by herself.

    Good tea has very strict requirements on tea leaves. It is best to pick only one bud, and the medium one is one bud and one leaf or one bud and two leaves. Ella really wants to follow this standard, but unfortunately she has too few tea trees, and nowIt is not a suitable season for picking tea. The leaves of the tea trees are a bit old. Even if you only pick the buds, you can’t make good tea. You can simply pick a few more leaves to increase the yield.

    Of course, she asked the gardener to make sure that picking a few more leaves would not hurt the tea tree, so she dared to do it.

    But even so, because the tea trees sent are not very big, they can barely pick about half a catty of tea leaves. These are still fresh leaves, and it is unknown how much they will shrink when they are made into tea leaves.

    The potted tea trees were placed in a shaded courtyard, the guards were not far away, and the maids were not by her side.

    Concentrated on picking tea leaves, Ella didn't notice anyone coming.

    When she noticed that someone was approaching, she stood up straight and was about to turn around to see who was coming, when she was suddenly hugged by someone.

    ·····

    The sudden hug made Ella startled and almost raised her elbow to give the other party, but the other party hugged her very tightly, stopping her movement.

    In the next second, the cool and cold incense mixed with the hot and strong breath of men entered the nasal cavity, which was a familiar smell to her.

    "What's wrong?"

    Realizing who it was, Ayla calmed down.

    Except for deliberately provoking other people at the banquet last time, this is the first time they have been so close. Although they have expressed their hearts to each other before, they have never held hands, let alone hugs.

    He suddenly hugged himself without saying a word, still hugging him tightly, Ella could only think that something had happened.

    "Last time at the temple, they added malaria to the water instead of human blood, trying to make you sick too."

    Malaria, a highly contagious disease, is comparable to the plague in Sathya. Every year, a large number of people die from malaria, even the nobles are not immune, and they don't even know how the disease spreads.Yes, because the disease mostly occurs in the summer when the Inlula River floods, so people think it is a punishment from the river god who is angry.

    This disease scares them too much. As long as someone suffers from it, even their own family members may not be willing to take care of the patient.

    As long as Lucis thinks that Ella may be tricked, he can't help wanting to kill.

    Ella froze for a moment before realizing what he said.

    Knowing what had been added to the holy water for bathing, she felt relieved, aside from feeling a little sick.

    She withdrew her hand from Lucis' arms and patted him on the back comfortingly: "Don't worry, it's all over, am I okay?"

    "..."

    Seeing that he was silent, Ella continued: "Actually, malaria is not contagious like this, so you really don't have to worry."

    In the previous life, malaria was one of the infectious diseases with the highest incidence in the world, and it was also one of the diseases that were often mentioned in some clear novels. Ella more or less knew the transmission route and treatment of this diseaseway of.

    So she knows that the main route of transmission of malaria is mosquito bites, followed by mother-to-child contact and blood transmission, but blood transmission is through blood transfusion, and long-term contact is dangerous, but people will not interact with each other.infect.

    Of course, if she had a wound on her body at that time, she might have been recruited, but the fact is that she didn't, and after she knew that the so-called holy water was the water of the Inrula River, she would never drink it. At that time, the flood season was coming.At the beginning, the color of the river changed, and there were countless bacteria and germs in the water. She would not joke about her own life, so she was very careful not to let a drop of water enter her mouth and nose during the whole bathing process.Generally speaking, malaria is not transmitted through water, even if it is mixed with the patient's blood.

    So she must have caught a cold because of the cold.

    Of course, even if she is really infected, she is not afraid.

    After reincarnation, although there is no such thing in her country, malaria is also a high-risk infectious disease in some hot areas of the Fairy Tale Continent.medicine.

    Interestingly, there is more than one kind of potion for treating malaria, and these potions either contain the bark of the cinchona tree or the use of yellow puffer. The former is ground into cinchona cream, and the latter contains artemisinin.They are all effective medicines for the modern treatment of malaria.

    All the potions made at that time were kept in her ring, even if she didn’t have them, she could make them now. Although the original formula might not be able to be made, but a modification can still make the right medicine, even if the effect is not good,It can get better after eating a few times.

    Of course, she couldn't tell Lucis about this, so she just told him the transmission route of malaria to make him feel at ease.

    "Mosquito bites? Are you sure?"

    Lucis keenly noticed that Ella knew something about how malaria was transmitted that no one else knew, but he didn't ask how she knew it, just focused on the transmission itself.

    They didn't know how malaria spread until now, but this is the first time anyone has said exactly how it's transmitted.

    But if you think about it carefully, it makes sense.

    Every summer, the river floods and there are more mosquitoes. If malaria is really spread through this, it is no wonder that more people get sick in summer.

    However, if this news spreads, it may also cause people to panic. Who has never been bitten by mosquitoes? It would be too scary if one would get sick after being bitten.

    Ella knew what he was worried about when she thought about it, and said comfortingly: "Not all mosquitoes can transmit malaria, only a black and white spotted female mosquito can transmit malaria, and this kind of mosquito is biting a malaria patient.The patient will pass the disease to others later, so as long as the patient's hygiene care is done well and the mosquitoes are eliminated, basically the infection will not be transmitted to others."

    That being said, it is really difficult with the current hygiene situation of people, or in other words, they have no awareness of the need to keep clean.

    Moreover, Sathya's scorching heat and flooding of the river make there are more mosquitoes here than in other places, and it is too difficult to eliminate them.

    This is impossible in modern times.

    This topic is a bit heavy, and Lucis didn't talk any more. He planned to ask the doctors to study it to see if what Ella said was true.

    He changed the subject and looked at the basket at Ella's feet: "Are you picking leaves? What are you doing?"

    Hearing him ask this, Ella remembered that she was still in the arms of the other party, and with a light struggle, she came out of Lucis's arms smoothly.

    But in the next second, Lucis put his arms around her shoulders again, and took her into his arms.

    From the hug just now, Ella realized that she didn't dislike being close to him, and she didn't resist his actions, but was helpless: "Aren't you afraid of the heat? Isn't it uncomfortable?"

    Lucis said, "No, that's fine."

    Lucis didn't say anything against his will. Ella's body temperature was lower than his, and her skin didn't like to sweat. When she touched it, it was like touching a cool spar. It was soft and delicate. Lucis never thoughtI used to like this kind of intimacy with people's skin, but Ella gave him an attachment that he was reluctant to let go.

    It's a pity that Ella can't let him stick to it all the time.

    "I'm picking tea leaves, and I'm going to fry some tea leaves."

    Lucis: "Tea? The tree from Tibia Island?" He remembered the tea tree he bought at the grain store.

    Ella nodded, the moonstone on her forehead shone with a faint blue light, mysterious and beautiful.

    It was only then that Lucis realized that Ella was wearing the forehead ornament he gave her today.

    He touched the moonlight gem stuck between her eyebrows, thinking that he should ask the jewelry craftsmen to make better ones.

    "Although Visil is back, other people are still on a visit. I sent them a message earlier, asking them to buy a piece of land in Tibia to plant the tea tree you mentioned, and choose another piece of land that can be used to make your tea tree."Said tea."

    Tibia has a small population and a large land, and the land is not valuable. His people can buy land there and recruit local residents to help cultivate it. think the Tibia people will be very happy-it is better than sending troops to attack them.It is better for Biya to merge into Sathya.

    Ella didn't expect him to be so fast: "You didn't even know what I'm going to use these tea leaves to buy land? What if you turn around and find that they are useless?"

    Lucis raised his eyebrows: "That's not what you said before. You said it is a magical drink. I think what makes you feel magical must not be useless."

    Ella liked to hear that, so she smiled and continued to pick tea leaves.

    Lucis did not leave when she saw that she was busy. He helped her hold the basket, stood behind her, and watched her pick.Kill those people.

    But how can it be done, how can they die so easily, the trial has not yet started, and other people don't know what evil deeds they have done, especially Papera's secret layout, if it is announced, all the nobles will be worriedI have trouble sleeping and eating.

    Lucis looked at Ella with focused and soft eyes, and he couldn't see any horrible thoughts in his heart.

    Ella had already picked a lot before Lucis came, and now there were not many left to pick, and it took another half an hour or so, and the remaining tea leaves were almost picked.

    About 50 catties of fresh tea leaves were picked from one hundred tea trees. Ella originally prepared half of the tea leaves to make green tea and the other half to make black tea, but remembering that foreigners in her previous life prefer to drink black tea, and she is also fond of milk tea.Or, they changed their minds, and it is enough to make green tea with about 10 catties of tea leaves.

    The freshly picked tea leaves need to pick out impurities such as old leaves, residual leaves and old stalks, but these tea leaves are very careful when picking them. The unqualified leaves have already been removed, so this step can be omitted, and they can be washed directly.

    Although everyone let Ella pick tea leaves by herself, they didn't dare to let her do the follow-up work, so they all turned into slaves who were hired, and she was only in charge of dictation.

    Pour the cleaned tea leaves into a dustpan and put them in the sun to dry the water. Afterwards, the tea leaves used to make green tea can be directly put into the pot and stir-fried over low heat.The fried tea leaves are poured back into the dustpan to cool down, and then rubbed continuously in one direction until the tea leaves become dry tea leaves, and finally put them in a dry and ventilated place to dry.

    The tea leaves for making black tea need to wither, that is, put the tea leaves in the sun and dry them until they turn dark green, then knead them to get out the excess juice in the tea leaves, and then put the processed tea leavesPut it into a wooden barrel and press it tightly, cover it with a damp cloth and cover it in the sun until the tea leaves turn red, and then the final step of drying can be carried out. In the climate of Sathya, there is no need to use charcoal to dry, and it is directly under the sun.Just dry it.

    Of course, although these steps are simple, it takes a lot of time. The production of green tea takes about a day, while black tea takes several days according to the drying and fermentation conditions, so Ella just told them roughly what to do.Then let them inform themselves before proceeding to the next step, especially the fried tea, because she has never actually done it herself, and she is not at ease if she doesn't watch her in person.

    While she was talking to the slaves and watching them clean the tea leaves for preliminary drying, Lucis was always by her side, watching her quietly.
