"I've figured it out!" Wanruo suddenly looked up, and her eyes, which were tired and lifeless just now, suddenly lit up.
"I'm still missing one medicinal ingredient. I have to go up the mountain again!"
Xie Xianyu said calmly, "I'll go with you."
Wanruo asked Suyue to take care of the patient, and then hurried out with Xie Xianyu.
Zhu Jiali stood there, and before he could even say hello, he could only watch them leave.
Wanruo went up the mountain and went to find some warm herbs. She came down the mountain before dark and stayed in the shop for half the night, trying them one by one.
Xie Xianyu stayed with her in the shop until the sky turned pale. Then Wanruo suddenly looked up with her eyes shining.
"It's done!"
Xie Xianyu also breathed a sigh of relief. If she couldn't develop the new product, she didn't know how long her body could withstand it.
"Doctor Wang, look, I gave this patient a new medicine last night. He's not having a fever today, and the sores haven't grown any more."
Doctor Wang nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, that's enough. I'll take this prescription and boil the medicine right away!"
The shop suddenly became bustling, and everyone finally found hope of survival after waiting for despair.
Xie Xianyu also ordered the medical officer to take the prescription to various places in the city to boil medicine, and let the sick people come and get it themselves.
In just a few days, the plague in the capital was finally eradicated. The emperor, who was still ill, was very pleased to hear this and immediately ordered people to send the prescription to Qingzhou and other places.
"Now that the prescription has been developed, let the other tasks be handled by the medical officers below. If you do everything, what are those people in the court doing for nothing?"
Xie Xianyu directly pulled Wanruo out of the shop.
Wanruo was still a little worried: "I'm afraid they'll make some mistakes."
"If they can still make mistakes with such a small matter, then they can forget about their official positions. Are you planning to work yourself to death by doing everything yourself?"
He pulled her into the carriage with a cold face.
"When you were learning how to manage a director from your superiors, did you end up learning to do everything yourself and compete with your subordinates for work?"
Wanruo was choked and speechless for a moment.
"It seems he hasn't studied seriously, yet he goes out early and comes back late every day, acting like a diligent and motivated person."
He sneered: "You can only fool me."
“…”
Wanruo shut up silently, not knowing whether she was in the wrong or felt guilty.
But the shaking of the carriage made her feel a little dizzy. Wanruo hadn't slept for several days, and after sitting for a while, her eyelids began to feel heavy as if filled with lead.
Xie Xianyu was sulking when he noticed she was quiet. Turning around, he saw her sleeping peacefully against the car wall.
His eyebrows twitched. What a heartless guy!
He took a deep breath, turned her head over and let it lean on his shoulder. She was quite self-conscious and rubbed her head against his shoulder out of habit. She found a comfortable position and fell asleep with her head tilted.
He lowered his eyes, and looked at her solemnly with his dark eyes. Never mind, he would settle the old score with her after she recovered.
The carriage stopped at the gate of Xie's house. Xie Xianyu didn't wake her up, but simply carried her down and strode into the house, returning to Songhe Garden.
"Young Master, Young Madam." The maids saluted hurriedly.
"Go get some water."
"yes."
Xie Xianyu carried her into the bathroom. After returning from the plague-ridden Jinshang Hall, she naturally had to wash herself first.
But Wanruo was so asleep that she couldn't open her eyes, and he was too lazy to wake her up.
"Master, let us servants help the young lady take a bath." Cuizhu whispered.
"No need, please step back."
He took off her clothes, put her in the bathtub, soaked a towel in water, and wiped her body.
At first, Qian Ben was just helping her wash, but as he wiped, his eyes gradually dimmed. He stared at her naked body, his throat rolling and feeling a little thirsty.
He hadn't touched her for some time.
They were clearly married, so why was he still hungry?
But she had been working so hard these days that she was so sleepy that she couldn't even open her eyes, so he couldn't bring himself to do it.
He took a deep breath, restrained himself and pulled her out of the water, wiped her clean with a cloth, and put her on the bed.
He personally put on her pajamas. She had lost weight recently due to overwork, and her waist had become thinner, but the fat parts were not thinner. He couldn't help but reach out and touch her, and his mouth became dry for a moment.
I was only halfway through my pajamas and couldn't bear to tie the belt.
He sat on the bed, stared at her and thought for a moment, then took off his clothes and got into bed.
Wanruo was having a rare sound sleep when she suddenly had a nightmare. She dreamed that Xie Xianyu was checking the housekeeping lessons she had learned a while ago. He asked her questions, and when she couldn't answer them, he hit her palm with a ring.
She wanted to shrink back in pain, but he grabbed both of her wrists with one hand and forced her to accept the punishment.
She suddenly gasped and woke up with a start, and what she saw was Xie Xianyu's enlarged handsome face.
She was startled and subconsciously wanted to step back, but he grabbed her hand, leaving her nowhere to hide.
His lacquered eyes gradually blurred, his heavy breathing sprayed on her neck, and his low voice said: "Wanwan."
She finally reacted and looked down to see him holding her hand and guiding her movements.
"Xie Xianyu!" Her face flushed instantly.
"Hmm?" His voice was gentle.
"You, let me go!" Her hands hurt!
He didn't relax his strength, but looked at her with dark eyes: "Wanwan, help me."
"I'm sleepy!"
She was so tired that she hadn't slept for several days, and he, this beast, actually wanted to torment her!
"Either use your hands or do it directly, you choose one."
His voice was still gentle, but it contained a hint of warning.
Wanruo gnashed her teeth in anger.
He leaned forward and kissed her lips: "Be good, it will be over in a moment."
An hour later, Xie Xianyu finally let her go. Wanruo lay on the bed, her hands so numb that they almost didn't belong to her.
He considerately covered her with a blanket and said, "Go to sleep for a while. I still have some things to take care of. I'll be back to have dinner with you in the evening."
Wanruo turned over in anger and didn't want to pay any attention to him.
He wasn't annoyed. He had already eaten his fill, so why would he be unhappy? He ruffled her hair and said softly, "Then I'll be leaving."
Xie Xianyu left contentedly.
Wanruo kicked the quilt angrily, what a beast!
But she was so tired that she couldn't hold up her increasingly heavy eyelids and soon fell asleep.
When I opened my eyes again, it was almost dusk.
She propped herself up and sat up from the bed. Cuizhu heard the noise and opened the curtain to come in: "Young Madam, are you awake?"
Wanruo rubbed her eyes and responded muffledly, "Yeah."
"But are you hungry? Dinner is already prepared. Do you want it now?"
Wanruo shook her head: "Forget it, I don't have much appetite."
