Lou Yunchun's breathing suddenly became rapid. Just as he was about to respond, he was interrupted by a scream.
"Oh my goodness!" Shan Bo ran into a young couple being affectionate and turned around quickly, almost spilling the medicine in his hand. "I didn't see anything, old slave."
Xu Jiang quickly stood up. Lou Yunchun pulled her reluctantly, but she pinched her hand in anger, then limped away with her crutches.
"Master, are you awake?" Shan Bo's mouth corners almost connected to his eyebrows. "Come and drink the medicine."
Lou Yunchun lay down, staring blankly at the curtains, and only got up after a while and drank the medicine.
Shan Bo stared at the ink stain on his face, looking as happy as if he had just struck lucky or made a fortune.
After taking the medicine, Lou Yunchun wanted to go to the outer room to talk to Xu Jiang, even if they didn't talk, just sitting there would be fine.
But not even half a minute after he drank the medicine, his head became dizzy and he closed his eyes unwillingly.
Sleep.
Wu Zhi's medicine really works wonders.
Xu Jiang came to the outer room, and Wu Zhi and Liu Mei came in together.
Liu Mei had just gone to get the medicine. Seeing that it was almost time, Wu Zhi came over to check on Lou Yunchun's medication situation.
Seeing that he slept well, she checked his pulse. Although it was a little fluctuating, it was generally stable. She nodded with satisfaction.
The effect of the medicine is as good as before.
Just as she was about to stand up, she saw two ink stains on his face and couldn't help but raise her eyebrows.
He then re-checked her pulse, then walked out, stared at Xu Jiang for a moment, and warned her, "Young Master Lou, you must abstain from lust and impatience, and rest in peace. I understand your impatience, but you should control it. Don't provoke him, so that you can recover soon and live happily ever after."
"Puff——" Xu Jiang was trying his best to pour the medicine into his mouth in one breath. Suddenly he heard her words and the medicine sprayed all over the table. Then he started coughing violently.
Where did these crooked words come from? How could she be so impatient? Why did she provoke him?
Liu Mei was startled by her movement, then looked at the table full of medicine with regret, "Forget it, it seems I have to boil a new pot."
After Xu Jiang stopped coughing, her face flushed and she whispered in defense, "I didn't... recruit him."
Wu Zhicai didn't believe her nonsense, but he didn't argue with her. He just said to her, "Go back to your room. It's time for massage."
Xu Jiang put away the four treasures of the study on the table, took a look into the inner room, and then returned to her room with a cane.
After leaving, Wu Zhi said to Liu Mei, who was decocting the medicine, "Add half a penny of lotus seeds to the medicine to reduce internal heat."
Xu Jiang's body tilted and she almost fell down. Fortunately, Wu Zhi grabbed her, otherwise she would have been injured even more.
"So impetuous." Wu Zhi turned to Liu Mei and said, "Change half a penny to one penny."
Liu Mei suppressed her laughter and left.
Xu Jiang hung her head, her face flushed red, and her heart was filled with embarrassment.
This Doctor Wu is simply her nemesis.
During the massage, Xu Jiang felt that the injuries on her body were not as painful as before, so she asked, "Doctor Wu, please consider Zhaoyue and me. When can we set off to return to the capital?"
Wu Zhi paused for a moment and said, "It will take at least another seven or eight days before your lover can get out of bed."
Xu Jiang blushed at the word "your lover" and finally managed to say, "How can you say that..."
"Unpleasant?"
"It's... not bad." It's just quite embarrassing.
Xu Jiang asked again: "After he is able to get out of bed, can we set off?" Counting the days, it was Madam Lou's birthday in about twenty days.
Wu Zhi said, "If you want to heal his injury, you can try."
"Then let's wait a little longer." Xu Jiang said in a disappointed tone.
After the massage, Wu Zhi helped her up and dressed her. "If you want to leave soon, that's not impossible. But you need to find a doctor who is proficient in medicine to accompany you. This will prevent her condition from worsening and can also handle any emergencies."
"This method is feasible." Xu Jiang was delighted for a moment, then lowered her eyelids. "But it's hard to find a doctor proficient in medicine. Where can I find one who is willing to travel thousands of miles to the capital?"
Wu Zhi glanced at her and turned away.
Xu Jiang was a little confused. When Liu Mei returned with the medicine, she realized that Wu Zhi was recommending herself. She then couldn't help but blame herself for being slow-witted and not immediately grasping the key point.
She sighed to Liu Mei, "I didn't realize that this Doctor Wu is kind-hearted despite his sharp tongue."
Kind-hearted? Do these words have anything to do with Wu Zhi?
Liu Mei was puzzled, "Why do you say that suddenly?"
Xu Jiang told her the conversation between them just now.
"Does this mean that Doctor Wu is willing to go to the capital with us?"
"That's what it means."
"She's quite nice, though."
Xu Jiang nodded, then picked up the medicine, blew on it, and drank it in one gulp. Then her pretty face wrinkled like that of an eighty-year-old old lady.
"Shui shui shui!" Why is it so bitter? Even more bitter than Doctor Chen's summer-heat-relieving soup.
"They said you can't drink water immediately after taking the medicine. You just have to bear with it for now." Liu Mei opened the candy jar, picked out a few pieces of sour jujube cake, tore off a piece and stuffed it into her mouth.
The bitterness only fades a little when the sour jujube cake melts on your tongue.
Xu Jiang stared at the medicine bowl in front of him, his mind racing.
Wu Zhi was a skilled doctor, well-known in Fuzhou, and many patients sought her out. However, beyond the doctor-patient relationship, she had no further connections with them. Furthermore, given her solitary nature, she didn't seem like someone who would travel thousands of miles to protect a patient.
Now he has taken the initiative to mention that he can go to the capital with them. He must have other purposes.
Xu Jiang figured out the key, but did not rush to ask further questions.
Since Wu Zhi has already spoken, she will definitely bring up this matter again later. Anyway, she and Lou Yunchun still need some time to recover from their illness, so there is no rush.
