Chapter 374: The Head is Still Strong
The hot breath sprayed on the side of the neck, and the jade-white skin instantly spread red, extending to the earlobe.
Chu Liuzheng's eyes widened instantly, and he raised his hand to push.
Perhaps because he was too subconscious, he used all his strength and pushed the person on top of him off the bed, making a loud "bang" sound.
Chu Liuzheng:!!
She jumped up to rescue the person, but was met with a pair of sleepy black eyes, with some moisture in them as if she had just woken up.
Xiao Jingfan touched the bump on the back of his head in a daze, then looked down at the hard ground beneath him, then looked up at Chu Liuzheng who was lying stiffly on the bed, feeling that he needed an explanation.
At this moment, Feng Jing walked in with medicine in one hand and curtain in the other: "The medicine is ready, Liu Zheng, you feed it to His Majesty——"
After seeing the situation inside the tent, he widened his eyes in shock and stopped talking.
"I don't see anything!"
Feng Jing put down the medicine bowl and ran out as fast as he could, dragging away Eunuch Zhou who wanted to go in and see his Majesty.
Zhou Yuande: ? ?
Feng Jing was halfway through his run when he suddenly thought of something. He quickly pulled him back and shouted through the swaying door curtain, "This kind of thing has to be consensual and mutual. The medicine has to be taken while it's hot!"
I am really worried!
After shouting, he continued to drag Eunuch Zhou and ran away.
The soldiers guarding outside the military tent looked at each other and tacitly moved farther and farther away from the tent, ensuring that they would not disturb it and would not let others in to disturb it.
At this time, the candlelight in the military tent was bright and it was eerily quiet.
After hearing Feng Jing's shout, Chu Liuzheng felt so embarrassed that he could dig out a underground palace with his toes, and he really wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
Xiao Jingfan, who was still sitting on the ground, stretched out his hand to her: "Help me up."
Chu Liuzheng took action immediately, helped the man sit down on the bed, and glanced at the back of his head with a guilty look.
It shouldn't be a concussion, right?
Woo~ She really didn't mean it!
Xiao Jingfan was already dizzy, and the blow to the back of his head made him even more dizzy. He took a moment to calm down before opening his eyelids and staring at Chu Liuzheng intently: "You can explain now."
Chu Liuzheng: “…”
Actually, I don’t really want to explain.
Can't we just tacitly skip over this embarrassing thing?
"The medicine must be taken while it's hot. You drink it first." She cleverly brought the medicine bowl over and tried to change the subject.
Xiao Jingfan glanced at the dark medicine with disgust, and touched his lips together: "I won't drink it."
"Drinking the medicine will help you get better faster." Feeling guilty, Chu Liuzheng softened his voice and said, "When Doctor Feng wrote the prescription, I specifically asked him not to prescribe bitter medicine or something hard to drink."
The bitter smell of the medicine kept drilling into his nose. Xiao Jingfan frowned, suspecting that the woman in front of him was deceiving the emperor, and the evidence was right in front of him.
Feeling guilty, Chu Liuzheng continued to coax her: "Drink first, I'll go get some candied fruit."
As she spoke, she handed the medicine bowl forward again.
Xiao Jingfan glanced at the dark medicine juice, then looked up at her, her appearance reflected in his dark eyes: "You explain first."
Chu Liuzheng: “…”
Then you'd better not take the medicine.
Between telling the truth and making up a lie, she chose half truth and half lie.
The incident of her skirt being grabbed was real, but she cleverly changed the incident of someone being pushed off the bed into Xiao Jingfan accidentally rolling off the bed, which had nothing to do with her.
Xiao Jingfan seemed to believe it and asked, "Then why are you in bed?"
Chu Liuzheng: Don’t pursue such details!
"Because a mouse climbed onto the bed, I went onto the bed to catch the mouse." She quickly found an excuse. It was normal to have mice in the military camp.
Xiao Jingfan's face turned green. Even though he knew that this woman was talking nonsense again, he still felt a hairy sensation on his body, as if a mouse had really crawled over him. He said stiffly, "I want to take a bath."
"Please drink the medicine first." Chu Liuzheng moved the medicine bowl closer to him.
[Tsk tsk, the tyrant is much easier to fool than usual now that he's caught a cold. He actually believes in rats.]
Xiao Jingfan: "...I have a headache, I won't drink."
[A headache isn't a mouthache, so how could it possibly have anything to do with the cost of medicine?]
Chu Liuzheng was speechless. He felt that although the sick tyrant was easy to fool, he was more difficult to serve than usual.
You are not a child, why are you afraid of taking medicine?
Apparently, she chose to ignore the fact that she was also afraid of taking medicine.
Thinking of the child, she said casually: "Then I will feed you?"
She regretted it the moment she said it. Just as she was about to patch it up, she heard Xiao Jingfan say "hmm" and very naturally make some space for him to be fed the medicine.
Chu Liuzheng: “…”
Oh my god!
Shouldn't you hold your breath and drink it all at once when taking Chinese medicine?
Only a fool would drink it spoonful by spoonful!
But it was obvious that the man in front of her was becoming a fool after hitting his head.
Chu Liuzheng had a wooden face as he fed her the medicine spoonful by spoonful, wiping her mouth with a handkerchief from time to time, feeling like a kindergarten teacher.
The handkerchief was scented with jasmine, which was faint but easily covered the bitter taste of the medicine.
Before I knew it, the bowl of medicine was empty.
Xiao Jingfan held a candied fruit in his mouth, and a small lump appeared on his left cheek. His eyes fell on the empty medicine bowl, and he thought that the medicine prescribed by Doctor Feng was indeed not very bitter.
Chu Liuzheng put the medicine bowl aside and took out some ointment to reduce swelling and dissipate blood stasis to rub the bump on the back of his head.
The situation was not as serious as she had imagined.
[Tsk, the tyrant has a pretty strong head.]
Xiao Jingfan: "..."
He seemed to hear a hint of regret in the woman's tone.
Chu Liuzheng put away the ointment, picked up the medicine bowl, and said to Xiao Jingfan, "Please sit for a while. I will ask someone to bring some hot water."
"Yeah." Xiao Jingfan responded and added, "Get some rat poison and sprinkle it on."
Chu Liuzheng agreed without changing his expression and lifted the curtain to go out.
Inside the military tent, Xiao Jingfan withdrew his gaze from the swaying door curtain, lowered his eyes to look at his right hand, his eyes dark.
After a moment, slowly tighten your grip.
The next day was a sunny day.
The golden sunlight makes it difficult to open your eyes.
Perhaps it was because Xiao Jingfan had a good physical condition, or perhaps it was because Doctor Feng's medical skills were so superb, but after one night, Xiao Jingfan's cold was almost cured, and he only sneezed occasionally, which did not interfere with his work.
Everyone gathered in the main tent, intending to discuss what to do next, but something went wrong with Jiang Yao.
Not a bad thing.
With Hongying's involuntary sponsorship, the Shadow Moon Gu was full and needed to hibernate for three days to transform into maturity.
Jiang Yao, the host, has to hibernate together with the Shadow Moon Gu.
In other words, the day to deal with Yin Lanci has to be postponed for three days. After all, without Jiang Yao to restrain the Netherworld Gu in Yin Lanci's body, Yin Lanci can easily escape under the protection of the medicine man.
It will be difficult to catch him if he escapes.
Xiao Jingfan thought about it and sent a secret guard to the county government office.
Soon, news came from the city that the county magistrate's official seal was stolen, and he ordered the city gates to be blocked, allowing no one to enter or leave until the thief was caught.
This incident caused a huge uproar in the city, and people were talking about it everywhere, including Lai Fu Inn.
It was dinner time and there were many guests sitting in the lobby.
The diners discussed the matter while eating, and speculated about who the thief was who was so bold as to steal the official seal.
The key point is that you can’t use the things you steal. If you have the time, wouldn’t it be better to steal some silver or jewelry?
Could it be that this thief has a grudge against the county magistrate?
On the second floor, a young man in white lazily leaned against the railing, holding a pot of wine in his right hand. He drank while listening to the diners' discussion, and understood the situation in detail.
