Chapter 36
With Li Zhigu's judgment, Wen Weili was completely relieved. She sat on the edge of the bed, looking at Zhiyun's small face which was so thin that her cheeks were sunken. She gently touched the corners of Zhiyun's eyes with her fingertips and sure enough, she felt a very fine tremor. Zhiyun was still uneasy. Wen Weili sighed in her heart, but she also knew that she couldn't be impatient and could only take it slowly.
"Okay, okay, let the patient rest for a while. It's not too late to express your love after he wakes up." Li Zhigu opened the door and let the room get some fresh air. The early morning sunlight was not so hot, and there was a hint of gentleness in the coolness.
Wen Weili followed Li Zhigu out of the room and looked at him with some confusion, "What? You have to call me out to talk?"
"Stupid disciple," Li Zhigu was silent for a moment, then suddenly cursed, "How could I, with all my fame, have such a stupid disciple like you? You're a disgrace to my reputation as a great doctor."
"..." Wen Weili was speechless. She looked up at Li Zhigu and said, "What are you talking about, old man Li?"
Li Zhigu sneered, "Don't play dumb. Tell me, how long has it been since you had a good rest?"
"..." Wen Weili subconsciously touched the corner of her eyes, "No, I rest every night."
"Tsk," Li Zhigu knocked Wen Weili's forehead hard, "I'm asking you to rest well. Don't try to avoid the important issues. Duanmu Huaixin needs your care, his secret guards need your command, Prince Huai's palace affairs need your handling, and the shop's affairs also need your attention."
"Before that maid was rescued, you had the energy to work as a so-called cook in the Imperial Prison. Now, the maid is back, and you have to take care of her too. In a few days, the shop you use to cover your whereabouts should be open, right?"
"Just like that, you dare to tell me you got a good rest?"
Although Li Zhigu's question was not loud, it left Wen Weili speechless.
"How about, Master, let's talk about improving my medical skills? Or Master, are you ready for breakfast? I'll make some for you. What would you like?" Wen Weili smiled obediently, hoping to get away with it.
"..." Li Zhigu took a deep breath and temporarily suppressed the anger in his heart. "Alright, I'm just asking casually. Since you don't care about it yourself, why should others care about you?"
"But I didn't come here today for this maid. How can a maid be worthy of such hard work from you, Miss Wen? If I were to say, you have really been corrupted by your mother. You have no manners at all."
Wen Weili listened to Li Zhigu scolding her, but she didn't get angry. She just yawned lazily, "Master, no wonder my mother doesn't like you in the mansion. If my father hadn't valued your medical skills, you would have been kicked out of the Wen Mansion long ago."
"Traitor!" Li Zhigu snorted coldly. "My medical skills are superb. Madam Wen would never dare to ask me to leave. She was just pretending. There's no threat at all."
Wen Weili pressed her forehead, unwilling to discuss her mother's affairs with Li Zhigu. After all, it was no secret in the Wen Mansion that the two of them had always disliked each other. "Then what brings you here today?"
"It's all for your good husband, Duanmu! Although I removed the toxins from his body that day, he still needs to cooperate with the subsequent treatment."
Li Zhigu thought to himself that he didn't go out to play in the beautiful morning light, but ran to this corner early and rescued the maid. He worked so hard for this apprentice who was born to collect debts. But this apprentice was always stubborn and disobedient, which really made him angry.
Just when Li Zhigu was sulking, a plain porcelain cup filled with clear tea was placed on a wooden tray and slowly appeared in front of him.
"What kind of tea is this? I don't want to drink it." Li Zhigu felt uncomfortable when he thought that the cup might have been used. He would never drink the tea even if it was brewed by his apprentice.
"Master, you've worked so hard, so hard." Wen Weili smiled as she brought out some freshly brewed tea from the house and handed it to Li Zhigu. "Master, have a cup of tea to calm down. I know you dislike it, so I found a new one. The tea is just brewed, and the tea leaves are Yunshanwu. Is it still drinkable?"
"That's more like it." After hearing Wen Weili say this, Li Zhigu condescended to reach out from his sleeve and took the teacup. He first sniffed the aroma of the tea, and then took a sip of water.
"It's still drinkable." Li Zhigu didn't think highly of the tea, but Wen Weili knew that since he said that, it meant that Li Zhigu's mood had calmed down, and it was the best time to ask him to do something.
"Okay, let's go to Duanmu's room." Li Zhigu drank some tea and stopped drinking. After all, drinking his apprentice's tea was also a way for him to save face. Otherwise, if this girl got stubborn with him, she would dare to do more than her mother. Wen Weili really dared to drive him out, but for the sake of friendship between master and apprentice, he reluctantly accepted this way out.
Fortunately, Wen Weili didn't know what Li Zhigu was thinking, otherwise she would really kick him out. But since they didn't know, the master and apprentice continued to be "kind to the master and filial to the apprentice."
Arriving at Duanmu Huaixin's room, Li Zhigu looked at Duanmu Huaixin, who had been lying in bed for many days but seemed to be sleeping peacefully. He took his pulse and couldn't help but sigh that his little disciple was quite good at taking care of people. He must have put extra thought into the preparation of the Four Gods Soup.
"Please remember these acupoints I pointed out. From now on, you will receive acupuncture twice a day, morning or evening, for half a quarter of an hour each time."
"Yes, Master." Wen Weili knew that the master didn't want to touch Duanmu Huaixin's body, so she undressed Duanmu Huaixin herself, stuffed a pillow behind Duanmu Huaixin's waist, helped Duanmu Huaixin half-sit on the bed, and used herself as half a support. She also arranged a row of silver needles and waited for the master's instructions.
"Four White Xue arrives at Yingxiang Xue."
"Fengfu acupoint, Fengchi acupoint, Renying acupoint..."
As Li Zhigu was speaking, he coughed lightly and said, "Disciple, since you are husband and wife, it's okay for you to get the tattoo anywhere, right?"
"Master, what do you mean? Xinxin is a patient just for treatment. Even if it's some hidden acupoints, there shouldn't be a problem, right?" Wen Weili felt that Li Zhigu was always making excuses in strange places.
Li Zhigu was embarrassed and annoyed by Wen Weili's suspicious look, and her neck immediately turned bright red. "Traitor! What are you looking at me with? I'm just worried that you, a girl, might be shy."
"To be honest, I haven't seen it." Wen Weili knew that Li Zhigu was worried that this would affect her relationship with Duanmu Huaixin. However, Li Zhigu didn't know that Duanmu Huaixin's feelings for her were no longer the same as his brother, so he didn't care about the change in his feelings. "But don't worry, Master, I know my limits."
"Just be sensible. You'd better really be sensible." Li Zhigu snorted, but still whispered the word "xuewei" in Wen Weili's ear.
"Oh, so it's here." Wen Weili nodded. The location of the acupoint in this position was indeed a little inconvenient, but she didn't care. The innocent are innocent. She had no romantic feelings for Duanmu Huaixin, so she would not be affected.
Wen Weili noted down the acupuncture points and tried to prick them in front of Li Zhigu. Only when Li Zhigu felt that the technique was appropriate did she leave the silver needle on Duanmu Huaixin's body.
"Thank you, Master. How about I make you some food today?"
"Go to sleep. How could I covet your cooking skills?" Li Zhigu said sternly, but he couldn't help but envy Wen Weili's cooking skills in his heart. You know, when they were in the Wen Mansion, Wen Weili would give him, her master, a portion of any delicious food.
But ever since Wen Weili married into Prince Huai's mansion, he hadn't eaten it again. Now, after hearing what Wen Weili said, he really missed it. But Wen Weili hadn't had a good rest for a long time, and she had no internal strength. If she fell ill, he wouldn't come to clean up the mess for her.
"No, I really won't eat it."
"How about making a fish dish? Master has always loved eating fish, right?" Wen Weili said with a smile, not listening to the faint refusal from Li Zhigu's mouth.
As expected, when Li Zhigu heard Wen Weili mention cooking fish, he hesitated and said very reluctantly, "Okay, no, this is your decision. I didn't ask you to do it."
"Yes, I just wanted to do it myself. I definitely don't have to honor my master." Wen Weili cooperated very well, fearing that laughing out loud would make Li Zhigu angry and leave on the spot.
Wen Weili first went to Duanmu Huaixin's room to remove the silver needles for Duanmu Huaixin, and then took advantage of the early morning to go to the morning market to pick a fresh black fish. This kind of fish has few bones and a lot of meat, and the taste is extremely tender, but the price is also worthy of its high price.
Wen Weili picked a big one and brought it back to the house. She first knocked the fish unconscious with the back of a knife, then scraped off the scales, removed the internal organs from the belly, and after cleaning it, soaked the processed fish in ginger water.
