The Steward Fu led Doctor Xu to the tent to collect the 10 taels of silver, then brought him out of the yamen by the corner. With a smile, he patted Doctor Xu's shoulder and said: "Doctor Xu, you need to study it carefully. If you make a mistake, you will lose your head."
Doctor Xu repeatedly nodded his head and replied, "Yes."
If you don't understand, then don't pretend to understand. If you don't have confidence, then don't try it. This isn't just about your reputation, it's about the lives of a dozen or so members of the Xu Clan. The smile on Steward Fu's face became wider, and staring into Doctor Xu's eyes, he became more and more like an old fox.
"Yes, little me understands." Doctor Xu clasped his hands and bowed again, a look of reverence and trepidation on his face.
"Alright, you can leave now." Steward Fu waved his hand, allowing Doctor Xu to leave.
Doctor Xu raised a hand to wipe the sweat off his forehead. Bowing slightly, he hurriedly made his way back. Steward Fu watched his back and slightly frowned. Only until he could no longer be seen did he turn around and slowly return to the yamen.
Doctor Xu ran all the way back to the medicine store, and directly returned to his room, closing the door. He tore off his beard, and rubbed his face a few times with his hands, then slowly took off his mask, revealing Sulanqi's smiling eyes.
"Master is back." The man flashed out of the shadows and cupped his fist in salute.
"Bring the morning dew." Sulanqi took out the bottle that contained Yu Yan's blood and poured it onto the plate as she whispered to Yue Yang.
The guard hurried over and brought over the dew that Feng Lan Qi had collected early in the morning. Sulanqi poured the water into a small plate, and the blood gradually faded in the dew, no longer as beautiful.
"Sure enough." Sulanqi chuckled, she sat down, picked up the teacup and sipped, staring at the blood in the cup and did not make a sound.
"Mistress, what's going on?" the guard asked, puzzled.
"I can make another one." Sulanqi stretched her body and then went to the side of the bed to lie down. She crossed her fingers over her chest and lazily said: "Ah Si, do you think Yu Yan is beautiful?"
"If it wasn't for that birthmark, it would still be quite beautiful. But that birthmark is a bit …" The guard, Asius, said softly.
"You don't know what's good for you." Sulanqi glanced at him, somewhat displeased.
"Yes, this subordinate does not know what to do." Asis hurriedly said.
"Let's go down. I'm going to sleep for a while." Sulanqi turned her body over, with a wave of her hand, the cloth fell down.
"That Doctor Xu, do you want …" Asi made a gesture of rubbing his neck.
"When did you see me killing people randomly? I don't accept money nor do I have any money to earn? Why are you wasting your time?" Feng Lan Qi's tone became a bit cold, and Asi didn't dare to say anything more.
All the royal families of the Xuanleng nation loved money as if it were their life. This Sulanqi was victorious, her methods to amass wealth were astonishing, and the treasures in her family were innumerable.
"Actually, I really want to ask for Yu Yan's help. She's quite interesting … "You commoners don't know what is good for you." He closed his long eyelashes and spoke again.
The corner of his mouth twitched, and he cupped his hands together, retreating. There was a tall tree in the courtyard, its leaves rustling in the wind. Dozens of large baskets were placed on the medicine rack in the courtyard. The attendants were busy, but none of them noticed that Doctor Xu and the butler had changed. Doctor Xu's mother, on the other hand, felt that her son was not very diligent. She didn't even bother to wash her feet as she continued to mutter nonstop in the room.
A moon hung silently in the branches of the trees. The sound had gone past three times, and it was already a quarter past midnight.
Just as Yu Yan walked to the back door, Yulixiao came out from the side impatiently. He stared at her and questioned her, "You have to take things an inch further, let this king wait for you for so long."
"I forgot the time." Yu Yan said softly.
"You have a reason?" Yulixiao frowned, then turned and walked out unhappily.
"We still have to make shoes and socks, but we can't do it well. "Where do you want to go? I'm very sleepy and I want to sleep."
Yu Yan was helpless, she leaned on a tree and yawned. If it wasn't for him sending people to urge her on, she would have climbed onto the bed and fallen asleep. Where else could she go in the middle of the night? She wasn't him. She had endless energy.
He turned his head and looked down. Her hands were hidden in her sleeves, her eyebrows were lowered, and she looked tired. The big hand reached over and held her little hand. When she looked at it, she could see that her fingers were red, with tiny red spots on them.
"He can actually make needle and thread." His rough fingertips caressed her fingers in a neither light nor heavy manner as he spoke indifferently.
"Ah, that's not possible. Why don't they be clever and massage their shoulders and back? Or the Hundred Blossom Banquet? If the army is strong, can I go back to sleep?" Yu Yan could not hold it in any longer, yawned, and turned to leave.
"Come back." He held her shoulders with hatred and walked around her to look at her.
"Your Royal Highness, be magnanimous … Let them accompany you. " Yu Yan said listlessly as she lifted her eyes with much effort.
"So tired? Don't do it tomorrow. " He frowned and said in a deep voice.
"Alright." Yu Yan wished that she would not be pierced by the needles again...
"Yu Yan... I really hate this kind of life or death situation of yours! "
Half of Yulixiao's enthusiasm was extinguished by her, and unavoidably, he was a little displeased as he grabbed her hand slightly heavily.
"Prince, I'm a woman, so my physical strength isn't as good as yours. How about I train in a few years of inner force cultivation techniques to create a body as strong as an ox's, then fight with you day and night …"
Yu Yan stared at him with a worried look and tried to pull back his hand.
Yulixiao was at a loss for words, his breathing grew heavier and heavier. He flung her hand away with some hatred and said coldly: "If you want to advance an inch, you, Yu Yan, are the best in the world."
"Your Highness …" Yu Yan really wanted to kowtow and beg for forgiveness. She just wanted to sleep, yet she received such a heinous crime?
"Go back to sleep." Yulixiao turned around and ignored her.
As if she had met an amnesty, Yu Yan ran away quickly. How did she look exhausted? Yulixiao turned his head, she stared at her back for a while and shook his head.
Tomorrow was his birthday, but he had to go to the military camp in front of them. He had been busy during the day and wanted to stay with her for a while longer, but who knew that she would just run away like that …
This woman's heart was very hard, and also very cold. She was most adept at defying the sun and defying the Yin.
Just as he was thinking that she had changed her mind, Yu Yan had already pulled on his sleeve and said softly, "Your Highness, return Nian An and Nian En to me tomorrow, as well as the Ah Lang."
"Tomorrow, I will let you watch over and execute him." Yulixiao said indifferently as he turned around and left.
"Prince …" Yu Yan panicked and hugged his arm. She had just thought about what Fang Lan had said, that Yulixiao would go to the army camp tomorrow. If she did not beg him now, the three of them would have to suffer for a few more days.
Yulixiao lowered his head and looked at her. That look of desperation made his heart ache slightly, and he said indifferently: "Yu Yan, I know that I have treated you well. When you have something to ask me for, you will reveal this kind of fawning appearance. When you have nothing to do, do you wish to avoid me as you avoid fierce beasts and tides? "
"Where …" "I'm really just sleepy …" Yu Yan's charming round eyes widened as she anxiously explained.
Yulixiao lifted her little face with a finger, his heart moved, and asked with a deep voice: "Then, did you put your heart inside mine?"
That faint, soft moonlight fell into her eyes, rippling with shyness and hesitation. Her tender red lips slightly parted, revealing a single star of white teeth, tempting people to kiss her.
"Do you have me in your heart …" Yulixiao stared at her. His last words were long and hoarse with expectation. The heart thumped, thudded, thudded... She unconsciously increased her speed as Yu Yan, a deer that was good at running, stepped on his flesh with her small, light hooves. With every step, he would feel her blood boiling.
Such feelings, this was the first time in his life that he had met such feelings. Yulixiao tasted what they were, why they were astringent, why they were pleasurable, what they were tense, what they were emotional, and what they meant by being disappointed …
He was a lonely prince and an arrogant war god, but he was still a mortal with emotions and desires, and he also wanted a caring woman.
Yu Yan wanted to struggle free from his long fingers, but she felt weak. She wanted to shift her sight away from him, to not feel his burning gaze, but she felt as if she was stuck to the most sticky rice milk, unable to move her gaze away.
After looking at each other for a while, a tinge of disappointment gradually appeared in Yulixiao's eyes. When her long fingers slowly relaxed, Yu Yan quickly lowered her long eyelashes and gently snorted, "There is."
This sound was not much different from a mosquito's hum that flew through the night wind. Fortunately, Yulixiao's ears were not bad, and was able to hear it clearly.
"Say it again." Her eyes lit up as her fingers tightened around her lower jaw. "If you say you like it, then I …"
Just what? He had made her his concubine, so it didn't seem like much to him. However, shouldn't gold and silver be something that she loved? He frowned and said in a deep voice, "If you say you like it, I'll give you the Golden Room, the jade bed, the pearl mirror …"
"Ah …" The corner of Yu Yan's mouth curved slightly downwards, and she raised her beautiful eyes once again. The tip of her tongue licked on her lips, her heart burning with passion until her mouth went dry, and her throat started to hurt again.
Yu Yan imagined the Golden Room, the emerald bed, the pearl mirror … It must be gorgeous! How much silver can it be sold for?
"How about, directly giving me 10,000 taels of gold …"
She murmured something, and his fingers tightened, pinching her face painfully.
"It's just a mischievous smile …" She quickly said something, and Qiu Bo slowly blinked, pressing both hands on his fingers that were pinching her face.
He liked the two words, but it was just like opening and closing his lips. However, his mouth seemed to be stuffed with something, as he just didn't want those two words to come out.
She couldn't deny this man's attraction to her. He fulfilled all of Yu Yan's fantasies towards the heroic men. She liked him, not because he was a prince but because he was an indomitable man.
The fire in her heart burned hotter and hotter. She couldn't help but lick her lips.
"Why are you licking your lips?" He frowned, his gaze falling on her lips. He resisted the urge to lean over and kiss her.
Yu Yan sighed softly, not knowing how to answer.
"Why sigh?" His brow furrowed even tighter.
"Can you always question me like this? I'm just one of your concubines, not your prisoner. "
Yu Yan blinked her eyes, raised her slender finger and gently placed it on his forehead. Her ice-cold fingertip carried an unimaginable magic, gradually calming down his earlier anger.
He stared at her, not knowing what to say. In front of her, he could understand the taste of being at a loss.
"My throat hurts …" Yu Yan said those words dryly, causing her mouth to become even parched.
"A sore throat?" His long fingers slid down her throat and touched it a few times.
Yu Tianqi pointed at her mute acupoints, logically speaking, it would not hurt her throat, the Steward Fu had shown him the prescription that Doctor Xu gave her, it was something to heat up and heat up, or perhaps it was the wind in the mountains, causing her to feel cold. In terms of medical skills, Chen Yao far surpassed Doctor Xu, but Yu Yan was not at ease, so he could only give up on the idea of letting Chen Yao personally diagnose her illness.
