Chapter 6: Bewitching Words

  Jiang Xuanyin was so angry that he almost died from rage.

  How can there be such a person? Not to mention not following etiquette, they dont even follow reason! Hes a seven-foot-tall man, lying in a girls arms, is that acceptable?! Moreover, hes the imperial-sealed Purple Yang Duke, when others see him, who wouldnt show respect?! Where did this person get such great audacity?!

  "Look at you, all sweaty like a freshly baked sweet potato." She pressed him into her bosom and stroked him twice, and the bold Huaiyu said with a smile, "Keep struggling for now, struggle a bit more, your head will spin even more."

  His whole body was stiff, and Jiang Xuanjins eyes were blowing with deep winter snow, staring at her tightly.

  His gaze was almost murderous, but Huai Yu didnt flinch at all and instead smiled awkwardly and patted him: "Good boy, take a nap, were still far from the pharmacy."

  "Are you an outlaw?" he asked coldly.

  "Why did you say that?"

  "If you werent a fugitive, how would you dare to be so presumptuous?" Jiang Xuanjin narrowed his eyes, "Taking advantage of my vulnerability and being so rude to me, have you considered the consequences?"

  "Consequences? They cant be that severe, can they? Youre known throughout the land for your self-control and adherence to propriety. Are you going to kill me just because I hugged and kissed you?"

  Everyone in the world knows that the Jiang familys discipline is strict, and the children they teach are all kind-hearted and law-abiding. Jiang Xuanjin is even more so, always disregarding personal grievances and focusing on the overall situation of the imperial court.

  Its precisely because of this that she dares to be so reckless.

  Jiang Xuanjin closed his eyes and stiffly lay in her arms.

  This person really understands him, no wonder he has a fearless attitude, its because he knows he wont abuse his power to bully others.

  If it were Princess Chang of Danyang, she would have had this kind of person dragged out and beheaded. Bad people never put themselves in a difficult position, which is why good people live laboriously.

  He let out a stifled sigh and coughed twice.

  The carriage was indeed bumpy, and he was worried about her, but the horse ran very fast. However, this girls embrace was unexpectedly steady, and as he lay there, his consciousness gradually became blurred.

  In a daze, Jiang Xuanjin felt that this person had been gently patting himself, humming a slightly familiar tune, gentle and lingering.

  She hummed "Spring Day Banquet", humming while lowering her head to look at him, seeing that he didnt have any reaction, the dim light in his eyes flashed once.

  This might be Jiang Xuanjins most vulnerable moment, and also her best chance to kill him.

  He patted his body with his hand, and there was nothing sharp on him. After searching him again, it seemed that he didnt have a dagger or anything like that either. Huai Yu furrowed her brow, what should she do? Should she use force to subdue him? But Jiang Xuan was just outside the carriage curtain, and if he made any noise, Jiang would notice.

  Li Huaiyu regretted it, just now when they were fighting on the street, why didnt she pick up a knife by chance? Even a dagger would do, how could she just leave like that?!

  Staring at the person in her arms, she felt a little unwilling, and while patting him, she seriously thought if there was any other way.

  Jiang Xuanjin hadnt slept well for a long time, but this sleep was exceptionally sound. In his dream, the grass grew and the swallows flew, it was an extremely good spring. He stepped on the thick green grass and walked slowly forward, seeing in the distance a palace dress fluttering under a tall jujube tree, with vibrant colors and shimmering light.

  When he opened his eyes, he was still a bit dazed.

  "Awake?" Someone by the bedside stretched out their hand and waved it in front of his eyes, "Youre quite something, Doctor said youd sleep till tomorrow."

  As soon as he heard this voice, Jiang Xuanjins eyes sank again: "Why are you still here?"

  Hua Yu looked at him in surprise, then felt a bit wronged: "Others are worried about you, they sent you all the way to the medicine hall, afraid that the empty spirit would not take care of you well, and waited anxiously here. But youre fine, waking up and scolding people!"

  Jiang Xuanjin paused for a moment and glanced around him.

  It seemed like the medicine rooms wing, outside the sky had already darkened, the house lit up, this girl sat by his bedside, taking advantage of the emptiness but silently standing far away.

  He rubbed his temples and got out of bed: "Take the prescription and go back to the mansion."

  "Whats the hurry!" Huai Yu pressed him back with one paw, "The medicine brewed in your mansion is not as good as the ones from Risheng Hall. The old doctor said that your illness came on suddenly and its best to stay here for two days to recover properly. If you go back now, wont your mansion be thrown into chaos?"

  Whats more important is that Jiangs family has no weakness to exploit! A duck that has reached the edge of ones mouth must not be allowed to fly away!

  Her face was filled with genuine sincerity, which left Jiang Xuanjin perplexed.

  Could it be that this person is genuinely looking out for his best interests?

  "Master, Ive already sent someone to inform them." The person beside him, Cheng Xu, finally spoke up, "I suppose you also dont want the old master to worry, so you said youll be busy in the palace for a few more days."

  Jiang Xuanjin had said so much, and after a long silence, he finally lay down honestly.

  Its just...

  He couldnt ignore the scorching gaze beside him even with his eyes closed. He slightly annoyed: "What are you looking at me for?"

  Li Huaiyu propped up her chin and smiled at him: "You look good."

  Nonsense! Can a sick person look good? Jiang Xuanjin frowned.

  "Dont look at me with such a disbelieving expression," said Huai Yu. "Im not a person who lies."

  As soon as these words came out, Jiang Xuanjin was so angry that he laughed instead.

  She still doesnt know how to tell lies? From the time we met until now, theres not a single true word from her mouth! If she didnt know how to lie, then there wouldnt be any cheaters in this world!

  "Oh dear, you finally smiled!" Hua Yu exclaimed with delight, clapping her hands. "You look even more lovely when you smile! I just love seeing you smile!"

  Especially when being laughed at, its particularly relieving.

  Jiang Xuanjins face turned dark and he closed his eyes.

  Hua Yu Le Hehe looked at him for a while, then got up and walked in front of Cheng Xiang, stretching out his hand to him.

  "What?" Cheng Xiaos face was puzzled.

  "Prescription! Didnt the doctor say that we need to decoct another dose before the end of the hour? Give me the prescription, Ill go find the medicine boy."

  "This..." He shook his head in vain, "Ill go myself."

  "What? Are you afraid Ill poison him?"

  "Not necessarily, but whatever Master wants to bring in should be screened by me."

  With a huff, Hua Yu crossed her arms and said, "Isnt it all just about being afraid hell get poisoned? Ill take care of him, whats the big deal? Besides, youre the only one here, if you go make medicine, wont I have to stay and watch him? If I really wanted to harm him, couldnt I do it after you leave?"

  I was stunned by what I heard, and thought vaguely that it seemed to make sense too!

  "Then..." He took out the prescription.

  She snatched a handful of jade and pinched it in her hand, waving it at him before walking out.

  Jiang Xuanjin opened his eyes on the bed.

  "Master?" Cheng Xiao asked somewhat nervously, "Or should I follow and take a look?"

  "No need." Jiang Xuanjin coughed lightly twice, "Id rather see what she wants to do anyway."

  He bowed his head and said in a low voice: "I think this girl is straightforward and doesnt seem to want to harm you. From what she said..."

  "Did you hear what she said?" Jiang Xuanjin frowned, "After following me for so many years, do you still believe in these empty words?"

  Taking advantage of the emptiness, I didnt dare make a sound anymore.

  Jiang Xuanjins face turned black as he thought for a moment, then added in a low voice: "Unbelievable, whoever believes it is stupid."
