Chapter 54 Finished Drinking

I heard that Dongqing and Donghua brought dinner back from the kitchen.

Gu Huan and Zhou Zhilan were whispering about the plot of the short story and walked to the outer hall together.

"What's wrong with you?"

Gu Huan saw Dong Qing’s swollen face and hurried over to check.

"It's okay." Dongqing smiled.

Donghua was so angry that she told everyone what had just happened.

Gu Huan frowned: "Why did Yinzhi hit you?"

When beating a dog, you have to look at its owner first. Donghua and the others are the servants of the Duke's Mansion. Has Yinzhi become more arrogant or stupid after she became a concubine?

Zhou Zhilan held Gu Huan back and said, "It's okay. I have a way to teach her a lesson. Let's eat."

After dinner, he quickly watched her make snacks for her master.

Strike while the iron is hot.

Zhou Zhilan ordered Donghua: "Donghua, help Dongqing reduce the swelling. I will serve the young lady here."

"Okay, thank you, Sister Zhou."

Zhou Zhilan opened the lunch box and said, "You know what, this soup smells so good."

Open the lid and you'll see a rich, yellow soup that smells delicious.

Gu Huan was suspicious. It was normal for the eldest sister to make nourishing soup for her brother-in-law and Mu Junyan, but it was weird to make it for her?

Isn’t she afraid that she will hook up with Mu Junyan and get him to climb over her head?

Is this a gesture of goodwill to her, or is there some other agenda?

Zhou Zhilan was also curious, and asked loudly to the side room: "Has Miss Shen Li seen it?"

Dong Qing responded: "Yes. Miss Shenli has personally checked the lady's diet."

Zhou Zhilan was relieved and scooped up the contents with a spoon: "They are all good stuff. It's rare that she is so kind. You need to take care of yourself."

Now that Chen Li had seen it, Gu Huan felt relieved.

I was worried and didn't eat well at noon, so I'm hungry now.

A bowl of hot soup is just right to warm your stomach.

…

Guanshan Tower.

After Dong Mo set the table in the side hall, he invited Mu Junyan to come and sit down.

"What's this?"

Mu Junyan looked at Dong Mo opening the lid of the stew pot and saw a thick layer of oil floating on it, feeling a little displeased.

He has never been fond of food, and he particularly dislikes strong food.

"This is the nourishing soup that the young lady made for you."

Dong Mo added: "I also sent a bowl of the same thing to Miss Huan."

The master works hard but never eats well. Dong Mo thinks this bowl of soup is the same as Miss Huan's. Will the master drink it?

Mu Junyan frowned.

Every time Gu Wanru sent him supplements, he didn't even look at them and just had them thrown away.

But when he heard that Gu Huan also had it, his usual sharpness made him alert.

I opened the lid and smelled it. It didn't have a strong herbal smell, but it had a strange feeling.

Is Gu Wanru really kind?

"Let Dr. Sun take a look."

Dong Mo's face changed slightly. Would the young lady dare to tamper with the master's diet?

The master has always been perceptive, and Dong Mo was so scared that he quickly went to find the doctor in the Sun Mansion.

After a while, the doctor from the Sun Mansion arrived.

He sniffed it, tasted it, and nodded with certainty: "I added it."

The color drained out of Dong Mo's face: "What did you add?"

Mu Junyan's face was gloomy: "Dong Mo, go and tell Gu Huan not to take it."

Dong Mo's soul flew away and immediately turned into a gust of wind and blew away.

The veins on Mu Junyan's forehead were throbbing.

According to the time and distance, the bowl of soup should have reached Gu Huan first.

In case, there is no stopping success.

Doctor Sun was shocked and asked in a low voice, "Shall I go get the medicine?"

Mu Junyan frowned: "Is it the same as the previous ones?"

In the past, people had given him various aphrodisiacs, and he had been affected once or twice, but he was strong and had a strong will, so to him it was just like taking the wrong medicine.

After doing it many times, he started to know a thing or two.

Therefore, he would not drink any strange food or stew.

Doctor Sun shook his head: "I may not be able to cure the strong medicine prepared by Yichunyuan. If you take it for more than a quarter of an hour, I'm afraid..."

Is this the place where the girl named Yaoyao originally stayed in Yichunyuan?

"Can Shen Li find out?"

Doctor Sun was embarrassed: "She... has never learned this kind of thing. High-end medicines are refined many times, and it is extremely difficult to distinguish what medicine is used. This soup is so thick, I am afraid it will be difficult to test it for a while."

Mu Junyan had a headache.

Look at the sky.

Yayun Pavilion is closest to the kitchen...

If she finished drinking and a quarter of an hour passed, it would be difficult for someone with Gu Huan's physique to resist.

Mu Junyan rubbed his fingers.

"Go and prepare some medicine, I'll go and take a look."

Without waiting for Doctor Sun to speak, he strode into the night.

…

Gu Huan finished her soup and chatted with Zhou Zhilan while eating.

Not long after, I felt hot all over and sweat broke out on my body and face.

Her pretty face flushed red with heat.

Zhou Zhilan noticed her abnormality: "Are you so hot?"

Gu Huan fanned herself with a handkerchief: "Maybe this soup is too nutritious. I rarely drink such thick soup on weekdays."

A wave of heat came over her, making her lose interest in eating anything else.

The thin layer of sweat on my back had soaked through my inner clothes, which were sticking to my back and feeling very uncomfortable.

She touched her face, wondering why it was so hot.

Moreover, it was as if a bunch of evil fire was ignited in her heart, getting hotter and hotter, and the heat was burning her heart and lungs.

My throat is a little inflamed and I have an unbearable dry cough.

For some reason, the beautiful scenes with Mu Junyan appeared in my mind twice.

Could it be that I wanted to hook up tonight and now I’m starting to have wild thoughts?

"No, you must be sick. I'll go get Chen Li."

Zhou Zhilan realized something was wrong and quickly stood up and walked out.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I went out, I saw Dong Mo running towards me, panting.

When he saw Zhou Zhilan, he shouted at the top of his voice: "Miss, do you want to drink the soup?"

Zhou Zhilan was confused: "Soup?"

"That soup can't be drunk." Dong Mo didn't bother to avoid suspicion and stepped over the threshold and went in.

Gu Huan was lazily leaning on a soft cushion, holding a handkerchief to gently fan the air around herself. The collar of her soft clothes was unbuttoned, making her look charmingly lazy.

Dong Mo was so scared that he quickly retreated, anxious like an ant on a hot pot, and said to Zhou Zhilan: "There is something wrong with that soup."

"ah!"

Zhou Zhilan stamped her feet, "Why didn't you say so earlier? I was just about to go look for Chen Li."

"I'll go, take good care of Miss Huan." Dong Mo ran away without waiting for her to say anything.

Unexpectedly, when she ran to the gate of the courtyard, she saw Mu Junyan striding towards her with his head down. She was so scared that her face turned pale. She was doomed. She failed to stop Miss Huan from drinking the soup.

He watched Mu Junyan enter the yard and quickly followed him in.

"Master?"

Zhou Zhilan was about to enter the house when she heard footsteps and turned around.

Mu Junyan looked at her: "Has she eaten yet?"

"I ate half of it and felt sick. I had a high fever."

"How much soup did you drink?"

Seeing the master asking directly about the soup, Zhou Zhilan was stunned for a moment, thinking that the master was concerned, so she answered truthfully: "I have finished drinking it."

"Done?"

"Um."

Zhou Zhilan saw that his expression changed and didn't know why.

"Miss Huan has been in a bad mood recently, so the soup is pigeon stew..."

Before he could finish his words, he saw Mu Junyan rushing into the room.

Mu Junyan knew that Zhou Zhilan and Gu Huan were about the same age, and had been living in the Duke's Mansion for many years, so they were aware of the vicious tactics used outside.

Zhou Zhilan turned her head to look at Dong Mo who was spinning in place, and heard him muttering, "It's over, it's over, it's over."

Zhou Zhilan’s face turned pale.

Is the soup poisonous?

"Hurry and find Doctor Sun and Shen Li."

Zhou Zhilan shouted anxiously and turned around to follow him into the house.

Dong Mo yelled and rushed out of the yard.

As soon as Zhou Zhilan walked around the screen, she saw the scene inside the room and immediately understood what had been added to the soup.

My heart tightened and I quickly stepped out and ran to the side room, where I saw Dongqing and Donghua who were in a daze.

Know they heard it.

Zhou Zhilan immediately ordered: "Don't just stand there, prepare hot water and the bath."

"Hey." Donghua came back to her senses, pulled Dongqing quickly, and left silently.

Zhou Zhilan couldn't tell what she was feeling.

She was happy for her lord, but also worried about Gu Huan.

Anyway, it's already like this, so we can only try our best to make things better.

Zhou Zhilan glanced up into the air and saw a dark shadow standing on the wall, which made her feel relieved.

Akabane would have his secret guards on alert, and no unauthorized persons would approach within a ten-foot radius.

…

Gu Huan was extremely thirsty. She opened her drowsy eyes, reached out to pick up a cup from the low coffee table, and poured the liquid into her mouth.

The thin sleeves slipped off, revealing her snow-white arms.

Her eyes were misty and her cheeks were rosy.

The tie of her shirt, which was pulled open to let out heat, loosened and one shoulder slipped off, revealing her fragrant shoulder and sweat-soaked shirt.

Mu Junyan walked around the screen and saw this scene.

He paused.

Every time she got close, a surge of heat rushed up.

Mu Junyan had been drugged before and knew how uncomfortable she was feeling.

If the medicine is not suitable for her condition and can only provide slight relief, she will feel even worse.

How could a person like her who cries so much bear such a feeling?
