She transmigrated into a novel as the Dragon King protagonist's early-deceased fiancee. This story features transmigration, a black-bellied male lead, a cannon fodder female supporting characte...
The day after Jiang Shi was arrested, Yu Tanqi wanted to go to the Dali Temple to see him, but before he reached the gate of the Marquis' Mansion, he was stopped by Nanny Gao.
Grandma Gao bowed her head and said respectfully, "Miss Yu, you are weak, and the prince has instructed that when Doctor Xu comes back, he should take your pulse and take care of you.
Doctor Xu is a folk doctor specially invited by our old lady for the prince. His medical skills are superb and are no less than those of the imperial doctors in the Imperial Hospital. Doctor Xu will arrive at the mansion around 3:00 PM. Miss Yu, can you stay at the mansion and wait for him?
Since Grandma Gao said so, Yu Tanqi could only nod in agreement and did not go out.
Yu Tanqi had an impression of Doctor Xu she mentioned. Doctor Xu Mubai was a very important person around the male protagonist in the book, and could be called the "number one miracle doctor."
Even the head of the Imperial Medical Bureau, Doctor Li, could not find any problem with the medicine prescribed by Xu Mubai. He had been taking Jiang Shi's pulse for so many years, but he did not realize that Jiang Shi's weak pulse was an illusion.
As the eldest son of Marquis Wu'an, Jiang Shi was not a premature baby. His mother Lan Luozhu was in good health when she was pregnant with him and had not been poisoned. How could he be weak when he was born?
The reason why Jiang Shi appeared to be weak and sickly and was rumored to be so was simply because he was poisoned every few days when he was young. The reason he didn't die immediately was because he was strong and had a tough life.
Old Madam Jiang was worried that he would die young. At this time, Xu Mubai appeared and volunteered to stay in Wu'an Marquis Mansion to take care of Jiang Shi's body. He also suggested that Jiang Shi face everyone in an appearance of "weak, sickly and frail".
The reason why Xu Mubai chose to stay with Jiang Shi was because of his mother Lan Luozhu.
Lan Luozhu is a stunning beauty. Although she chooses to wear armor and fight the enemy, her beauty cannot be concealed even with her face covered in dust.
Going into battle to kill the enemy would inevitably result in serious injuries, so Lan Luozhu got to know Xu Mubai, who was then only known as the apprentice of a miracle doctor.
The two are not much different in age. Xu Mubai has been immersed in medicine for many years and has no interest in love. However, he fell in love with Lan Luozhu while getting along with her. Unfortunately, Lan Luozhu and Jiang Chu are in love with each other, so he can only hide his feelings in his heart and guard Lan Luozhu carefully.
After Lan Luozhu became pregnant, Xu Mubai was extremely heartbroken. In order to prevent her from seeing his feelings, he left Lan Luozhu under the pretext of traveling around the world like Shennong. However, he never thought that this separation would be forever.
Lan Luozhu's death devastated Xu Mubai, whose hair turned white overnight. He hurried to Wu'an Marquis's mansion and saw the emaciated and pitiful baby boy who had been tortured. He secretly vowed to avenge Lan Luozhu and help her raise her child safely.
With Xu Mubai around, Jiang Shi's health was guaranteed. In front of outsiders, he was still a "weak and sickly young man" who didn't even have the energy to go to the Imperial College. But in the Wu'an Marquis Mansion, he studied from morning to night, and he was proficient in the six arts of music, chess, calligraphy, painting, riding and shooting.
Despite his seemingly frail appearance, the boy actually had strong muscles and was an expert archer.
There is a specially enclosed horse riding and archery training ground in the Marquis of Wu'an's Mansion, which bears the traces of Jiang Shi's hard training and sweat over the years.
Yu Tanqi soon met Xu Mubai who hurried back to Wu'an Marquis Mansion.
The man with white hair and white clothes was carrying a medicine box. He had an upright posture and handsome features, like a gorgeous banished immortal.
Yu Tanqi politely and respectfully bowed as a junior: "Doctor Xu."
Xu Mubai looked at the girl in blue in front of him. She had soft eyebrows and eyes as clear as water. She was the kind of girl that made people feel pity for her at first sight.
But his face was so pale that it was almost transparent, and his lips were pale, indicating a congenital deficiency.
He nodded slightly: "Miss Yu, please sit down."
Yu Tanqi sat down, raised his right hand, revealing a slender white wrist, and placed it on the table.
Xu Mubai took out a white handkerchief, covered her wrist with it, and placed his slender fingertips on her pulse to feel her pulse.
After a while, he put down his hand, looked at Yu Tanqi and said, "Miss Yu has a weak spleen, so you should eat less sweets.
"Besides, the girl has had a weak body since her mother's birth. She has been taking good care of herself over the years, and it has improved a little, but you can't stop taking the medicine. I will prescribe some medicine for you, and you must take the medicine on time every day."
Yu Tanqi blinked: "Is the medicine bitter?"
Xu Mubai said: "Good medicine tastes bitter but is good for the disease."
Yu Tanqi frowned slightly, looking a little depressed.
Xu Mubai added: "After you drink the medicine, you must not eat candied fruit or other sweets, otherwise the medicine will be in vain."
"Ah?" Yu Tanqi hesitated, "Can't I have a little bit of sweetness?"
"No, this is all for the young lady's health." Xu Mubai looked at Grandma Gao standing beside her and warned, "Grandma Gao, you have to keep an eye on Miss Yu and don't let her eat sweets anymore."
Grandma Gao nodded: "I understand."
Yu Tanqi felt like the sky was falling. Not allowing her to eat sweets was tantamount to torturing her.
However, she was unfamiliar with Xu Mubai and Grandma Gao, so it was difficult for her to bargain with them. She could only pretend to be strong and stand up, giving a polite fake smile: "Thank you, Doctor Xu, for treating me."
Xu Mubai picked up the pen, ink, paper and inkstone and began to write the prescription: "You can drink a bowl of medicine later."
Yu Tanqi: “…”
She wanted to turn around and leave, but out of politeness, she smiled and agreed.
In fact, my back teeth were about to be broken.
Xu Mubai wrote a prescription and left. He had his own courtyard in the Wu'an Marquis Mansion, which was full of medicinal herbs. This time he went out to find new herbs to plant.
Yu Tanqi was uneasy. She didn't want to take the medicine, but she was thinking about going to the Dali Temple to see Jiang Shi.
It took almost half an hour to boil a bowl of medicine. After waiting for less than a quarter of an hour, she couldn't help but say to Grandma Gao, "Grandma Gao, can you wait until I come back before drinking the medicine? I want to go to the Dali Temple to see the prince and give him something."
She looked worried. No matter how nice the Dali Temple sounded, it was still a prison, and the people imprisoned there would never be able to live comfortably.
Although she knew that the male protagonist would not suffer, she still wanted to express her concern and care for him. This was a great opportunity to improve his favorability.
Grandma Gao could see that the girl in front of her was really concerned about the prince.
Her sharp brows softened, and she felt relieved that the prince had such a gentle and considerate fiancée.
But she remembered what the prince had asked her to stop, and whispered: "I know that the young lady is worried about the prince, but a place like the Dali Temple is a place where you are a daughter of gold and your body is delicate and weak, so it is best not to set foot in it.
If the young lady wants to give something to the prince, please let this servant take it for her. I will honestly tell her of my concern and worry for him."
Yu Tanqi said, "But I want to see the prince in person to feel at ease."
There is always something missing when the thoughts are conveyed through others.
