Chapter 2362 A Secret Affair
As soon as Xue Yun walked into Yangxingzhai, he smelled a strong medicinal aroma.
She was not unfamiliar with the taste of this medicine. It was the prescription she had prescribed for Kang Biyun to dispel the cold.
"Cough, cough, cough, cough."
There were incessant coughing sounds in the room. Xue Yun hurried over and saw Kang Biyun leaning on the couch with a rosy flush on her cheeks. Probably because of the coughing, the corners of her eyes turned red when she saw him come in.
She struggled to stand up and said, "Doctor Xue, you're here."
"Please sit down, Concubine."
Xue Yun bowed to her and said hurriedly, "How come Jieyu is so sick after not seeing you for so long? Has she not recovered at all?"
Ruying said unhappily, "Not only is it not getting better, it's even getting worse."
Xue Yun heard the resentment in these words and didn't know what to say for a moment.
Kang Biyun, on the other hand, immediately said, "Ruying, go and do your work. Doctor Xue is here to check my pulse. It's okay."
“…”
Ruying had no choice but to turn around and leave.
Kang Biyun coughed twice and said softly, "Doctor Xue, please don't mind. This girl can't speak."
Xue Yun hurriedly said, "It is my fault that Concubine Jieyu's illness has been delayed until now."
"No, it's my fault."
"How about this, I will first check the Concubine's pulse and see what's going on."
"Why."
Kang Biyun sat down at the table, her eyes full of spring water, as if she was tied by an invisible thread, always tied to Xue Yun. She watched him open the medicine box, take out the cushion and handkerchief, and after placing them all, she gently pressed her pulse and took her pulse.
The two people sat very close to each other.
Kang Biyun looked at the handsome man in front of her. Although he was not as tall and mighty as Zhu Feng, he was also polite and gentle. She had been in the palace for so long, and all she had to face were either scheming and plotting, or harsh hardships. The only gentleness she had ever received was probably the one given to her by this imperial physician.
Although she knew it was dangerous, she also knew it was wrong.
In my mind, the words that Xin Mimi said to me would echo from time to time.
However, Xue Yun was like a poisonous spring to her.
She knew clearly that drinking it would lead to death, but she was already on the verge of life and death, and she still wanted to get closer, and still wanted to drink the poison to quench her thirst without hesitation.
"Doctor Xue..."
She murmured.
Xue Yun was originally taking her pulse carefully. When he heard her calling him, he hurriedly raised his head, only to see that Kang Biyun's face was unnaturally red, and there seemed to be tears in her eyes, staring at him.
Xue Yun felt a little strange for some reason.
But she still said, "Please be patient, Concubine, and let me feel her pulse again."
"……Why."
Kang Biyun became quiet again.
In the incense burner on the table, smoke was curling up, slowly evaporating and diffusing in the air. However, the fragrance was completely covered by the bitter taste of Chinese medicine. Even after inhaling it into the nose, it still tasted bitter.
After examining the patient for a while, Xue Yun couldn't help but frown.
She looked at Kang Biyun hesitantly and asked softly, "Jieyu, did you take the medicine I prescribed on time?"
"Ah? Of course."
Kang Biyun, who was originally a little distracted, quickly became alert again when she heard her ask this.
He smiled and said, "You smell this too."
“…”
"I just took some medicine."
"Oh, that's true."
In fact, after saying this, Kang Biyun herself felt a little guilty. The strong smell of medicine in the room was not because she had just drunk the medicine, but because she had just poured the whole bowl of medicine into the flower bed behind the house while Ruying was not paying attention.
Afraid that Xue Yun would find out.
Fortunately, Xue Yun was concentrating on her pulse and didn't notice anything unusual. He just frowned and said doubtfully, "But if you drink that medicine, the cold in your body should have been dispelled."
“…”
"But why did Concubine Jieyu's cold become even worse?"
“…”
"Have you eaten anything these days? You know, there are dietary restrictions when you have typhoid fever. You can't..."
She gave careful instructions.
Kang Biyun listened carefully, but in fact, she didn't hear a word Xue Yun said.
Although she was listening carefully, all her attention seemed to be focused on Xue Yun.
His eyes...
His voice...
Even just his caring attitude...
All of them made her feel like spring breeze.
Unconsciously, she became more and more distracted, and when she looked at Xue Yun, even her eyes were a little dazed.
Xue Yun was originally explaining seriously, but as he spoke, he felt that the atmosphere was a little wrong.
Especially, the way Kang Biyun looked at him.
The strange feeling in her heart grew stronger. After a moment of thought, she stood up and said, "How about this? I originally prepared a few bowls of medicine for the Concubine today. In addition to decocting the medicine these days, the Concubine asked Miss Ruying to remember to take a pill every day."
“…”
"That should be all right."
"oh……"
When Kang Biyun saw him stand up, she stood up too and followed him.
Xue Yun took out a small box from the medicine box and was about to hand it to Kang Biyun.
Kang Biyun reached out her hand, but it touched the back of her hand.
"ah!"
Xue Yun was startled and quickly retracted his hand. The box in his hand fell to the ground.
Kang Biyun got excited and suddenly grabbed his hand, holding it tightly.
"Doctor Xue!"
"Jieyu, you, you——"
Xue Yun was immediately panicked when her hot hands grabbed his hands. He wanted to pull them out, but Kang Biyun had so much strength that she held on to him tightly.
Panting slightly, she said, "Doctor Xue, in this palace, you are the only one who treats me the best. I, I, I treat you—"
"Kang Jieyu, don't be like this."
Xue Yun's mind exploded, and he suddenly realized what he was facing. He didn't know what to do for a moment, and pulled his hand out with force, trying to get rid of it.
But Kang Biyun was feeling dizzy at this time, and her feet seemed to be stepping on clouds. When he pulled her like that, she immediately fell forward.
Both hands hugged her waist.
Xue Yun was even more frightened. He didn't know whether to push her away or hug her.
Kang Biyun smelled the faint medicinal fragrance emanating from him and felt as if she were about to indulge in such a gentle breath. For a moment, she ignored everything else.
She said softly: "Doctor Xue, I have always been kind to you..."
Having said this, she couldn't wait to raise her head, and put her red lips to his lips, with a pious look, as if she was about to offer herself to him.
"don't want!"
Xue Yun was horrified and suddenly he felt strong enough to push her away.
