Li Huaiyu held the prescription and wandered around for a while before finding the medicine boy.
"This medicine needs to be simmered for half a time." The medicine boy grabbed the medicine and got up with the pot, saying, "I have a lot of work in my hands, can you help take care of it for a while?"
"Alright." With a smiling nod, Huaiyu took the fan from his hand and moved a stool to sit beside the small stove.
The young medicine boy hastily ran off to the other side of the large backyard, where all sorts of medicines were being decocted, and he didnt have time to pay attention to her.
Hua Yu glanced at the medicine jar and slightly narrowed her eyes.
Half a time later, the well-cooked medicine was placed in a bowl and put in front of Jiang Xuanjin.
Jiang Xuanjin half leaned against the headboard, looking at the medicine and then at her, before turning his head away.
Hua Yu was taken aback for a moment, then sat down on the edge of the bed with a plop, picked up the bowl and blew on it: "I know, come, Ill feed you myself!"
Her eyebrows jumped slightly, and Jiang Xuanjin said in a low voice: "I dont want to drink."
"What if you dont take the medicine when youre sick?" She glared at him, then coaxed him like a child, "You see, others have been brewing this medicine for half an hour now, and they used top-notch medicinal materials. Even if you dont care about me, you should care about these medicinal materials."
He cast a glance at the brown liquid medicine, and Jiang Xuanjins eyes flashed with a faint light.
"You have a drink first."
"Huh? Hua Yu was taken aback for a moment, then suppressed her smile: "You suspect me?"
Coughing twice, Jiang Xuanjin said: "Everything that enters my mouth has been tasted by someone else first, this is the rule."
"Alright, you think Id poison you." Hua Yu snorted, her expression turning cold as she looked at him. "Ive been guarding this medicine for half an hour, and even burned my hand, only to have it fed to a donkeys lungs."
This tone sounds like it really hurts your heart.
However, Jiang Xuanjin didnt fall for it and said in a calm tone, "Its you who wants to go boil the medicine yourself."
It serves you right, asking for trouble, looking for misery.
"If you dont want to, its still not too late to leave now."
Li Huaiyu listened, smiled, and threw the spoon in the medicine bowl to the side stool, picked up the bowl and gulped down the medicine.
Not just a sip, but the whole bowl was drunk upside down.
Jiang Xuanjin still had a calm face, but when he saw her action, his eyes finally showed a ripple: "What are you doing?"
Put down the empty bowl, Huai Yu wiped her mouth: "Dont you suspect me? Then dont drink this medicine, let Cheng Xu re-boil it."
Having said that, he stood up and left.
Jiang Xuanjin was slightly surprised. In his judgment, this girl should have been trying to cling to him, although he didnt know the purpose, but she shouldnt be harboring any good intentions.
Whats going on? He didnt say a single word correctly, and yet this guy is about to leave?
Li Huaiyu walked slowly, even slowing down her pace, her back looked full of anger and grievance, her shoulders shrugged up and down.
Just as she stepped quickly across the threshold, a voice finally came from behind: "Wait."
Her heart skipped a beat, Hua Yu maintained her wronged expression and turned her head with a hint of resentment: "What?"
Jiang Xuanjin lightly sighed: "Thank you."
Hes the kind of person who only responds to gentleness, not force. If someone is genuinely good to him, he should be grateful; thats just basic manners. Although this girl doesnt look very pleasant, her actions dont seem to have any malicious intent. After simmering for half an hour, the medicine was gulped down in one breath, and it must have been scalding hot.
As he thought of this, he looked at her and pursed his lips, his expression also softened a bit.
This is exactly what I wanted!
Hua Yus heart was laughing with great cunning, what is called "retreating in order to advance", what is called "releasing in order to capture", look, she succeeded again!
Jiang Xuanjin was a man with many layers of caution, and she knew it. Before his caution could be dispelled, any underhanded tactics were useless, so just now in the courtyard, she had hesitated for half an hour, and still hadnt put anything in the medicine jar.
It turns out she really knows him well!
She pouted and leaned back against the bedside, tilting her head to look at him and saying: "Youre actually reluctant for me to leave!"
His face turned red with rage: "What are you talking nonsense?"
Just wanted to say thanks!
"Alright, alright, I know youre embarrassed, its settled then!" Hua Yu patted his shoulder generously and said, "Lets just keep this between us."
Its a tacit understanding, isnt it! Jiang Xuanjin was so angry that he couldnt speak, and coughed twice. Huaiyu exclaimed, "Ah!" and patted his head: "I drank your medicine, theres none left for today, Im afraid the illness will worsen."
"…Who told you to drink all the medicine in one breath?"
"Im not angry?" Hua Yu pouted, "I treated them with kindness and sincerity, but in return, I got suspected. Who wouldnt be angry about that?"
Jiang Xuanyin let out a soft hum and lay back down on the bed, closing his eyes to sleep.
It was already late at night, and Huai Yu saw that he had no intention of resting, so she sat down beside the bed, one hand supporting her chin and the other feeling his forehead.
Silently hiding in a corner, seeing that she didnt make any attacking moves, I also remained silent.
The next day at the end of the fourth watch, Jiang Xuanjin opened his eyes and felt that there was an extra person in his arms.
Her legs were wrapped around his, her arms across his waist, and she turned to look at him with a pale, slightly sickly-looking delicate face only half an inch away from him. Her light pink lips were slightly parted, and the crystal-clear snot was flowing straight down from the corner of her mouth...
Jiang Xuanjins eyes narrowed slightly, and he was taken aback for a moment.
Just as the outsider was about to push open the door and enter, a dull thud was heard from inside the house.
"Ah!" Yu Jing woke up with a start, rolling around on the ground several times before stopping, and sat up dazedly to look at the person on the bed, "What are you doing?!"
Propping himself against the headboard, Jiang Xuanjin said coldly: "You have no shame!"
Can mens beds also be casually climbed?
Qī jí fǎn xiào, huái yù zhe kàn tūi mén jìn lái de chéng xū, pǐ shǒu zhǐ zhe tā jiù dào: "Nǐ wèn wèn tā, wèn wèn kàn zuó wǎn shàng nǐ zì jǐ gàn le shén me!"
Translation:
Extremely angry and laughing, Huai Yu looked at Cheng Xu who had just pushed the door open and pointed at him, saying: "Ask him, ask him what he did last night!"
Jiang Xuanjin was taken aback, turned his head to look at the door, and saw Cheng Xu with an embarrassed expression on his face, putting down the water basin on a nearby shelf, bowing his head in greeting: "Master."
"Whats going on?" Jiang Xuanjin was somewhat perplexed.
He tiptoed behind him and whispered, "Last night at midnight, your high fever broke, you were shivering all over, and you grabbed this young ladys arm and wouldnt let go... so..."
Jiang Xuanjins face turned blue with rage, his eyes glaring at him fiercely.
"My subordinate didnt lie!"
"Holding jade and sitting on the ground, he hummed and said: You bullied me first and framed me afterwards, now you say how to compensate me!"
"After some thought, she added another sentence: Apart from giving myself to you, I wont accept any other form of compensation."
"Youre dreaming." He lightly coughed twice, Jiang Xuanjin turned his head away, the flush on his face still hadnt faded.
"Master." Taking advantage of the awkwardness, he skillfully helped him out of the situation, "Just now someone passed on a message saying that Lord Li, the Chief Historian, requests an audience."
Mr. Lai? Mr. Li Fong-hang?
Hua Yu stood up as soon as she heard this.
