As the person receiving the acupuncture, Ye Zeyu could personally feel the heat in his body gradually subsiding. While secretly admiring Su Muxi's medical skills, the complex and indescribable emotions in his heart grew stronger.
Looking at Su Muxi's face, Ye Zeyu realized that he had never really looked at Su Muxi's appearance before, except for those seemingly calm but stubborn fox eyes and that very distinctive red birthmark.
Upon closer inspection, the heat within his body seemed to intensify again, causing his breathing to become heavy and rapid once more.
Apart from that birthmark, Su Muxi's skin seemed very smooth, both on her face and body...
Her nose is small and firm, just like her personality; she is petite, but her stubbornness is greater than that of an ox.
His red lips were as full and alluring as cherries, and were slightly swollen, perhaps because he had just exerted too much force.
Her features were crammed onto a face smaller than his palm, making the birthmark even more noticeable, but it couldn't hide the beauty of her features.
Why would someone like that be called an ugly woman?
Is it just because of this birthmark?
The flaws don't detract from the overall merits; surely the people in the capital don't know this?
"Miss Su, why did you stop? Keep going! Look, my master's face is still red!"
Xiao Ce's voice brought Ye Zeyu back to his senses, and he awkwardly shifted his gaze away from Su Muxi's face.
Su Muxi frowned, looking at Ye Zeyu's still flushed face, and repeatedly searched her mind for the relevant information recorded in the medical books.
She's already needled all the acupoints that can relieve aphrodisiac effects, so why should she continue?
She feared that if she continued to stab him, Ye Ziyu would kill her in the future.
Hesitating for a moment, Su Muxi reached out and touched Ye Zeyu's forehead.
Perhaps the blushing wasn't due to the medication, but rather because of the fever.
Unexpectedly, when her hand touched Ye Zeyu's forehead, Ye Zeyu's face turned even redder.
Although my forehead felt a little hot, I didn't have a fever.
Could it be...?
Are you shy?
Su Muxi didn't know how she came up with that question; by the time she realized it, the words were already out.
Xiao Ce looked shocked.
Ye Zeyu sat up directly from the bed.
"Who's shy! I just feel a bit stuffy in the room and can't breathe!"
As he spoke, covered in silver needles, he stood up from the bed.
"I'm going to the courtyard for some fresh air."
After saying that, he took long strides and strode towards the door.
Su Muxi blushed a little when she thought about what had just happened with Ye Zeyu, but after seeing Ye Zeyu's reaction, the shyness and annoyance in her heart disappeared.
He chuckled to himself and shook his head, but unexpectedly, he met Xiao Ce's curious gaze the moment he turned his head.
"Does the Prince's residence have croton seeds?"
"Huh? Croton?" Xiao Ce wondered if there was something wrong with his ears.
"Yes, croton seeds. Take one mace of croton seeds and mix it with three bowls of water. Boil it down to one bowl and give it to your prince. By the time you finish boiling it, I'll be ready to start the acupuncture for your prince."
After Su Muxi finished speaking, she was about to leave when she remembered that Ye Zeyu was outside. So she turned around, went to the table, and found a stool to sit down.
Seeing Ye Ziyu would make her feel awkward, so it's best to avoid meeting him if possible.
Xiao Ce hesitated for a moment, but finally left slowly.
After stepping out of the house, he saw his master standing in the courtyard with his hands behind his back, gazing at the moon. He quickly went up to him and told him that Su Muxi had asked him to boil croton oil.
"Master, how are you feeling now? In my opinion, Su Muxi's actions are definitely revenge against you. I've never heard of croton seeds being an antidote for aphrodisiacs!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Ziyu tilted his head in confusion, "Revenge? What makes you say that?"
Looking up at his master by the moonlight, even Xiao Ce, a man, couldn't help but marvel at his master's otherworldly appearance, let alone Su Muxi.
Therefore, Su Muxi's actions must be revenge!
After hesitating for a moment, seeing the hint of impatience in Ye Zeyu's eyes, Xiao Ce stammered, "Didn't you... say that... you disliked Su Muxi for being ugly? Su Muxi resented you for not wanting her, right? Women's hearts are barely bigger than the eye of a pin!"
Before he could finish speaking, his master grabbed his collar.
"Who said I thought Su Muxi was ugly?!"
Looking at Ye Zeyu's frustrated and aggrieved expression, Xiao Ce's eyes deepened with doubt.
"Then why didn't Master just say so directly..."
Why not just take Su Muxi directly? That way, we wouldn't have gone through all this trouble, with acupuncture and croton oil.
And you made yourself feel so bad!
Of course, Xiao Ce dared not say these words directly; he could only keep them to himself.
Although he only said half of what he meant, Ye Zeyu understood it perfectly.
This caused the slight relief Ye Zeyu felt in his chest to increase several times over.
Why doesn't he want Su Muxi?
Because Su Muxi is unwilling!
Otherwise, he couldn't very well force Su Muxi...
So it wasn't that he disliked Su Muxi, but that Su Muxi disliked him!
"Why ask so many questions! Go and boil some croton seeds!"
Xiao Ce was still puzzled by Ye Zeyu's anger and embarrassment.
Because he never even considered the possibility that Ye Zeyu would be disliked by Su Muxi, and even if he had, he would never have believed it.
His master was someone even Bai Mengying wanted to curry favor with, so how could Su Muxi, an ugly woman with no status or position, possibly look down on him!
Meanwhile, Su Muxi was idly looking around Ye Zeyu's room.
There wasn't a single decoration.
