Chapter 32: A Hero Can't Resist the Temptation of a Beauty
Ever since kicking Qi Wuhan last night, Jiang Lan hasn't seen him again, and Ling Feng hasn't come to Zhuyuan either.
She would occasionally glance towards the gate of the yard. This time, when she looked away, she accidentally discovered that a head had shrunk back on the wall. When she ran out to check, she saw a figure quickly running into the bamboo forest and disappeared. She walked over and saw a stone beside the wall. The other person was standing on this stone and peeking into the yard.
Jiang Lan stood up and raised her hand to gesture, roughly determining the other person's height, which was half a head taller than her.
"What are you looking at here?"
The sudden voice behind her startled her. Jiang Lan calmed down silently and turned around. Qi Wuhan was standing in front of her, fanning himself gracefully. Because his right shoulder was injured, he used his left hand to fan.
She glanced at his injured right shoulder and wanted to ask if he was feeling better, but she felt that it would show that she cared too much about him, so she didn't ask.
"Didn't you sleep last night?" Qi Wuhan suddenly leaned forward and stared at her face. "Why do you look so haggard?"
Jiang Lan turned her face away, jumped off the stone silently, and raised her hand to touch her face. Was she really that haggard?
She hadn't looked in the mirror and didn't know how bad her complexion was. She was frightened last night and hadn't slept all night. She didn't eat much for breakfast and had no appetite. She was also busy making medicine. She didn't know if it was because she was too tired that she didn't feel tired. She just felt her eyelids were heavy and her head was heavy. Her body was tired, but her consciousness was unusually clear, as if she was still in a tense state and hadn't relaxed. She didn't feel sleepy at all.
Suddenly she felt as if she was floating in the air, and the next moment she was picked up by Qi Wuhan. Jiang Lan just pushed him and felt dizzy. Fatigue came over her like a tide, followed by a headache like a needle prick. The headache she had after getting up in the morning came back again, and it was even more severe. The pain made her frown.
"Get Ye Rushui here."
After leaving this order, Qi Wuhan turned around and left with Jiang Lan in his arms.
It was the first time that Ling Feng saw his lord so nervous about a girl. He did not dare to delay and directly climbed over the wall using his Qing Kung Fu skills and found Ye Rushui who was giving acupuncture to Master Lin.
"Mr. Ye, the Marquis invites you to come over."
"He won't be fatal from that injury."
An ordinary doctor could handle the minor skin injuries Qi Wuhan suffered, so Ye Rushui was naturally not interested.
"It's Miss Jiang Er."
"The little girl dressed as a boy?"
Ling Feng nodded, and Ye Rushui asked him to go out and wait first.
After a cup of tea, someone came out of the house and said to Ling Feng, "Lead the way."
When Ling Feng brought Ye Rushui over, Qi Wuhan was sitting by the bed, his expression no longer as casual and calm as usual, and there was no trace of a smile on his lips.
"A hero is often tempted by beauty. I never thought that the Marquis would one day fall into the hands of a little girl."
When Ye Rushui came over, Qi Wuhan silently stood up to make room for him to see the patient.
Jiang Lan was not fully awake at this time. She felt hot and cold, had headaches one after another, her stomach felt uncomfortable and she wanted to vomit, and cold sweat broke out on her forehead.
Ye Rushui first took out a bottle of medicine from the medicine box. Qi Wuhan stretched out a hand and a pill fell into his hand.
"You'll feel better after taking it." He said gently, feeding the medicine to her mouth. Her soft lips gently touched his palm. His eyes deepened slightly and then he restrained himself.
After taking the medicine, Jiang Lan felt better. She didn't feel as sick as she wanted to vomit, and she no longer curled up in pain like a kitten.
"The girl is already in this state, but you still want to take advantage of her. The Marquis is really a beast." Ye Rushui pushed Qi Wuhan away and reached out to check Jiang Lan's pulse.
After taking her pulse, he gave her two injections and Jiang Lan fell asleep.
Qi Wuhan asked about the situation, and Ye Rushui replied with two words, "It can be cured."
His slightly frown relaxed.
"However," Ye Rushui paused.
He frowned slightly, "But what?"
Ye Rushui said, "This little girl has been weak for a long time. If we want to cure her completely, we need to use extraordinary methods. However, that method is very dangerous. I don't know if the little girl can withstand it."
Qi Wuhan looked at Jiang Lan's haggard sleeping face and said, "Don't underestimate her. She is the wife I will marry in the future." Then he changed the subject and said, "If anything happens to her, I will tear down your medicine house."
Ye Rushui sighed, "This little girl is so pitiful. At such a young age, she's already been targeted by a beast like the Marquis."
"An old bachelor like you will never understand what mutual love is. You only envy the mandarin ducks, not the immortals." Qi Wuhan said as he pushed Ye Rushui away and sat back on the bed.
"The little girl is very weak now. My Lord, please don't act like a beast." Ye Rushui gave a warning and left with the medicine box on his back.
After Ling Feng sent his men away, a black-armored guard came to report something to him. He went back and knocked on the door before saying, "My Lord, the old Grand Tutor has woken up and wants to see you."
There was no response from the room, but the invisible sense of oppression emanating from it gave the answer.
Ling Feng asked the black-armored guard to reply to the old tutor, "The Marquis has important matters to attend to, so I'll go back later."
When Jiang Lan woke up, it was already afternoon.
The first person she saw when she opened her eyes was Qi Wuhan standing by the bed.
"Are you feeling better?"
She looked into his gentle peach blossom eyes, and for a moment she couldn't tell whether his concern for her was genuine or fake, whether he really liked her or just treated her as a substitute...
"Why do you look like you're about to cry?" He smiled, reached out his hand, and gently wiped the corners of her eyes.
Jiang Lan turned her head away from him and turned over with her back to him, fearing that if she looked at those peach blossom eyes any longer, they would fall into her. After a while, she felt someone lying down behind her. She was startled and stood up suddenly, but he reached out and held her in his arms again.
"What do I have to do to make you stop resisting me..." His low murmurs were like stones dropped into her heart, stirring up ripples in her heart that could not be calmed for a long time...
Jiang Lan raised her head and looked at his slightly wrinkled brows, which were a little tired. He must have been guarding the bed for a long time... She unconsciously raised her hand, lightly placed her fingertips on his brows, and gently smoothed his slightly wrinkled brows.
Qi Wuhan gently held her hand, his deep gaze enveloping her. He slowly lowered his head. Jiang Lan's heart was beating like thunder. She felt his warm breath getting closer and closer, but she still dodged and turned her back to him.
She still couldn't get over it in her heart. Whenever she thought of Concubine Zhen, it was like a thorn in her heart, reminding her to stay away from him and not repeat the same mistake.
"Next time if you avoid me again, I will be really angry." Qi Wuhan hugged her in his arms and whispered in her ear, "When I get angry, I am very scary. It will be useless for you to cry and beg for mercy."
Jiang Lan's ears turned red, and then her stomach growled. She was so embarrassed that she wanted to bang her head against tofu and die.
Qi Wuhan was stunned for a moment, then realized that she was hungry, and said in a doting tone with a hint of teasing, "What do you want to eat? I will have someone bring it to you right away."
"Whatever." Jiang Lan pulled up the quilt to cover her head, too embarrassed to see anyone.
After dinner, Jiang Lan was about to return to Zhuyuan, but was stopped by Qi Wuhan. He asked her to stay there and have a good rest. If she ran away secretly, he would carry her back in front of her eldest brother.
He was really capable of doing such a wicked thing. She couldn't imagine how her elder brother would react if he really saw it.
"If I don't see anyone when I return, go get a hundred military sticks yourself."
The two black-armored guards guarding the door responded in unison.
Jiang Lan couldn't walk anymore.
