Chapter 36
Xiao Xinghan was in the room with Gu Yanling, and saw him lying silently on the pillow.
Last night, because he tasted so good, I didn't consider that it was his first time, and I tortured him very hard. I couldn't help but feel pity for him.
"Stay here for a few more days. When you're well again, I'll take you to Machima."
Gu Yanling was in no mood to play at the moment. He felt unwell all over and could not delay any longer. Once he recovered, he should get down to business.
"Master, please apply some more medicine on me. My breasts hurt too."
Xiao Xinghan played with me so much last night that my two little nipples are still swollen. Even though my underwear is soft, I still feel uncomfortable.
Xiao Xinghan gently pulled open his inner clothes and saw that the little bean had become swollen, which was really adorable. When applying the medicine, he couldn't help but soften it with his hands. Gu Yanling looked at him with a little look, but didn't say anything.
After Xiao Xinghan finished washing his hands and came over, Gu Yanling said, "Master, how was my skill last night?"
Xiao Xinghan pinched his cheek.
Gu Yanling added, "I think the service is pretty good. The young master came several times yesterday."
Logically speaking, Xiao Xinghan favored Gu Yanling last night, so he would be rewarded today. However, he was in Yangzhou now, and he didn't bring any rare treasures from the East Palace with him, so he had to give up for the time being. However, Xiao Xinghan was worried that Gu Yanling would think too much, so he decided to give him a reassurance first.
"You have served me well. When you return to the capital with me, I will give you a proper status."
Xiao Xinghan was serious about what he said and was not trying to fool him. Although Gu Yanling was of humble status, she was straightforward and lovely, and he had some feelings for her. When he returned to the capital to report to his father, the emperor, and his mother, it would not be impossible to make Gu Yanling a concubine.
Gu Yanling: “…”
Xiao Xinghan chuckled and flicked Gu Yanling's long eyelashes: "Are you happy and stupid?"
Gu Yanling blinked and raised her hand to scratch her face. She was really stunned. She didn't understand why Xiao Xinghan suddenly brought this up. It was just a sleep. Besides, he was a man. Even if he gave her a status, she would only be a concubine. Why was he so happy? It was hilarious!
Gu Yanling took his hand away and buried her face in the pillow: "What's so happy about being someone's concubine?"
Being the Crown Prince's concubine is a great honor. If Li Youfu was serving in front of him and heard that the Crown Prince promised to give Gu Yanling a status, he would only feel that Gu Yanling's ancestors were very proud, but he was still so ungrateful.
Xiao Xinghan didn't blame him for being unruly. He patted his head and said, "You'll know later."
Gu Yanling snorted.
Xiao Xinghan didn't say anything else. Gu Yanling felt unwell and fell asleep again in a daze. Maybe it was because of Xiao Xinghan's words about giving him a legitimate status, that he was scolded by his father while being pulled by the ear in his dream.
He said that he had really become successful, and that he had never studied hard and was now going to be someone's concubine. Gu Yanling kept hiding in his dream and explaining to his father.
Seeing Gu Yanling shaking his head and saying no, Xiao Xinghan patted his face gently and called out, "Yuanbao? Wake up."
Gu Yanling opened his eyes blankly, sweating profusely.
Xiao Xinghan wiped his forehead with a handkerchief: "Did you have a nightmare?"
Gu Yanling was still a little dazed after just waking up, but nodded when he heard this.
Xiao Xinghan was about to ask him what he dreamed about, so he felt the temperature of his skin through the handkerchief and asked, "Why is it so hot?"
Gu Yanling foolishly agreed: "It seems a little hot."
"You have a fever." Xiao Xinghan immediately stood up, walked outside, and asked Li Youfu to call the imperial physician quickly.
Gu Yanling had never thought of this. When she heard Xiao Xinghan's words, she said, "I was wondering why it was so hot."
Xiao Xinghan placed his large hand on Gu Yanling's forehead, only to find it felt hot. "Why is it so hot out of nowhere?"
Gu Yanling curled her lips: "It must be because you kept tossing me around last night that I caught a cold. I'm not made of iron either."
Xiao Xinghan: "..."
The imperial physician rushed over, took Gu Yanling's pulse, and asked if she felt any discomfort. Gu Yanling was half a doctor himself, so he answered whatever was asked.
"Reporting to the young master, this is because Master Yuanbao has been having sex too much and not cleaning properly. Eat a light diet for the next two days, apply medicine frequently, avoid sex, and take good care of your body and you'll be fine."
Li Youfu was also in the room, so the old man said this directly. Even though he knew that there was such a loud noise yesterday that everyone in the yard heard it, Gu Yanling was still embarrassed.
Seeing that he was shy, Xiao Xinghan said, "Everyone, go down."
Li Youfu went out with the imperial physician and asked the young eunuch to follow him to decoct the medicine.
Gu Yanling muttered, "I'm so embarrassed. I really can't face anyone now."
Xiao Xinghan smiled and kissed his lips: "It's okay, they don't dare to say anything."
Gu Yanling was relentless: "Who told you to come so many times last night? You didn't know how to control yourself. And that thing got inside. If you don't clean it out, you'll get a fever."
Xiao Xinghan knew this from reading the book. He had cleaned it carefully last night. "Maybe it was too deep, so some of it didn't come out. I'll be more careful next time."
Gu Yanling blushed again when she heard this shameless remark, but luckily her skin color was not obvious. "You are so frivolous, I will ignore you."
He just knows how to act pretentiously in front of others. Last night in bed, he was too embarrassed to listen to some of the words!
Xiao Xinghan didn't tease him anymore and wiped his face and hands with the warm water. Gu Yanling followed him with her pair of black eyes, thinking that Xiao Xinghan still had some conscience.
Fortunately, it was just a fever, not a headache, but a little weak. However, Gu Yanling felt uncomfortable all over and didn't want to move. She had slept for so long and this time she really couldn't fall asleep, so she asked Xiao Xinghan to tell her a story.
Xiao Xinghan got the storybook from somewhere, which was about the romantic affairs between a rich young master and a servant boy. Although Xiao Xinghan was not as eloquent and emotional as the storyteller, his voice was deep and pleasant, and Gu Yanling listened with great interest.
But this ending——
"This servant is quite foolish. The rich young master claimed to love him, but he still married in the end. Yet he still can't forget her and cries all the time. He doesn't blame the young master at all, but feels that he is of low status and can't have children, so he is not worthy of the young master."
Xiao Xinghan: "..."
Gu Yanling continued, "Do feelings still have a distinction between high and low? Are the feelings of a young master more precious, and the feelings of a servant more humble?"
Xiao Xinghan: "It's just a storybook."
Gu Yanling: "Master, I'm not talking about you. This is what I think in my heart. If I like someone, I don't care what his status is, whether he is a prince or a minister, a beggar or a servant. As long as I like him, he is the best. If I don't like him, even if he is the king of heaven, I still don't like him."
Xiao Xinghan pinched his cheek: "You're talking nonsense again."
Gu Yanling: "Who said that? You are a young master, so you must not think that there is anything wrong. Being a young master means you are superior to others. Being a servant means you are inferior in status and your feelings are inferior too?"
Xiao Xinghan's status was there, and he really didn't think it was a big deal. Not to mention that in his opinion it was just a story, "I don't miss you that much."
Of course, Gu Yanling didn't believe what he said. Xiao Xinghan took it for granted that everyone should serve him. Li Youfu knelt on the ground to put on and take off his boots. Although he did not show a condescending attitude, the nobility in his bones could not be concealed at all.
He treats me well only because I please him now. If I serve him well, I think there will be someone else who likes him in the future and can serve him better than him.
Fortunately, Gu Yanling is not a real servant, and he will not blame himself because of the young master's change of heart. He doesn't like Xiao Xinghan in the first place. He and Xiao Xinghan just have their own goals and get what they need.
Xiao Xinghan saw that Gu Yanling was in high spirits when she was listening to the story just now, but now she was not interested anymore. Just when he was about to say something, Li Youfu led a young eunuch in with a bowl of medicine.
"Master, the medicine is ready."
Gu Yanling smelled the bitter smell of the medicine and immediately shook her head: "Why do I need to drink medicine? I don't want to drink it."
Xiao Xinghan brought the medicine bowl over. The medicine was already warm and ready to drink. "It will be faster if you drink the medicine."
Gu Yanling tucked her chin into the quilt and said, "I'm a doctor myself. I don't need to take medicine. I just need to rest more."
Li Youfu: "I have prepared some candied fruit. If you eat some candied fruit after taking the medicine, the bitter taste in your mouth will go away."
Gu Yanling: "I hate taking medicine the most. I don't want to drink it."
Xiao Xinghan: "If you drink the medicine obediently, I will grant you a favor."
Gu Yanling had almost hidden her head under the quilt, but when she heard Xiao Xinghan's words, she suddenly pulled off the quilt and looked at him with wide eyes, "Really?"
Xiao Xinghan: "As long as I can do it."
Gu Yanling sat up suddenly, the movement was so big that it brought her to a state that was difficult to describe. She grimaced, but even so, she still smiled and said, "I drink it, I drink it. It's just medicine."
After saying that, he took the medicine bowl from Xiao Xinghan's hand and drank it all in one gulp, "Preserved fruit."
Xiao Xinghan pinched a candied fruit and fed it into his mouth.
After such a long time, Li Youfu has realized how much the prince dotes on this guy. Even if it's just to coax him to drink medicine, he has to agree to something. Once he returns to Beijing, there is no way he will leave him outside the palace.
But these are not things he can control just because he is a slave.
Gu Yanling was in an especially good mood at the moment. He no longer said that he felt uncomfortable sitting there. He acted like a spoiled child and asked Xiao Xinghan to hold him. "Master, you are really Yuanbao's good master. Yuanbao likes you the most."
Xiao Xinghan: "..."
Gu Yanling hugged Xiao Xinghan's neck, put her face against his neck, and kissed the skin on Xiao Xinghan's neck happily.
Xiao Xinghan was no longer surprised. He put his hand on his back and asked, "What do you want me to promise you?"
The most he could give Gu Yanling was the position of concubine.
Gu Yanling: "I haven't thought about it yet. I'll tell you when I've made up my mind. Is your promise valid?"
Xiao Xinghan hummed, "If I can do it."
Gu Yanling raised her head from his shoulder and kissed Xiao Xinghan on the jaw, making a loud sound. "I can do it. Young Master is so capable, he can definitely do it!"
With Xiao Xinghan's promise, Gu Yanling felt more at ease.
Seeing that he laughed out loud, Xiao Xinghan didn't look like he hadn't thought it through. He just thought that he was embarrassed to bring it up, so he lowered his head and kissed Gu Yanling on the lips.
Gu Yanling responded enthusiastically.
Not only that, when he sensed the eagle was moving again, he took the initiative to pull it out for him.
Xiao Xinghan grabbed his hand: "No need, wait until you recover."
Gu Yanling was a typical example of someone who forgets the pain after the wound has healed. She didn't remember eating or being beaten. She nodded and said generously, "Then wait until I recover. I promise to serve the young master comfortably."
Xiao Xinghan: "..."
