Yu Tongchen lowered his eyes to look at her and handed her a porcelain bottle. "Antidote to the fetal poison in your body, one pill a day, and the toxins will be completely cleared in half a month."
"Thank you." Shu Shiyu clenched the porcelain bottle in his hand, slightly curved his eyebrows, and smiled at him.
She smiled faintly, and the smile in her eyes danced with the candlelight in the bleak autumn night.
"Yeah." Yu Tongchen turned his eyes away, turned around and disappeared into the rainy night.
"Bai Tong, I can't sleep." At night, Shu Shiyu got out of bed and squeezed next to Bai Tong to warm himself by the fire with her.
"Miss, did you sleep too much today? You didn't get up until midnight."
"Um."
"Then shall I read the storybook to you?"
Bai Tong has become accustomed to her young lady's reversed day and night schedule, but she is already very happy to be able to sleep peacefully for a while.
"good."
Bai Tong went to the box and took out the storybook. "You heard the eleventh chapter last time. I will continue reading to you."
Shu Shiyu added a few more pieces of charcoal with a fire chopstick, and in the blink of an eye Bai Tong fell asleep.
Shu Shi and Wu Mei covered her on the couch with a quilt, and a few low coughs came out of his throat while he did so.
Hearing the sound, Bai Tong woke up, "Miss, I'm sorry, I fell asleep."
"You go to sleep. You have spent a lot of energy taking care of me today. You should be tired. I will go back to sleep in a while."
"Okay, you keep your word."
"When did I stop keeping my word?"
Shu Shiyu picked up a book from the box at random, picked up the candle wick, went to bed, covered himself with a quilt, and read by candlelight.
Bai Tong was extremely tired and did not get up until the next morning. He went to the inner room to check on Shu Shiyu. Seeing that she was in good condition, he felt relieved. However, he could not help but regret that she slept so soundly last night.
Shu Shi and Bai Tong had a very light sleep and were awakened by the slightest movement.
"Miss, did I wake you up?"
"I've always been a light sleeper. Is it daybreak now?" Shu Shiyu took out the book that was pressed under him.
"'Female Rules'? Why are you looking at this?" Hasn't my young lady always despised these restrictions on women?
"You may not agree with some opinions, but you must know them." Shu Shuyu lay on the pillow. She was very tired now, as she always felt after being sick. "Who knows if someone with ulterior motives will set a trap for you?"
"Miss, what you said makes sense. Are you hungry? I'll go make you some porridge."
"Not hungry, no appetite."
"Even if you're not hungry, you should eat something to fill your stomach. Didn't you say yesterday that the medicinal food tasted good?"
"Then you can try."
"Okay, I'll go right away!" Bai Tong went out excitedly.
"Host, host, the target of the mission has woken up!" In Yu Tongchen's room, Wanjiezhu was using his body to push him.
"If you're awake, then you're awake." Yu Tongchen was unmoved and put the books on the bookshelf in order.
"You are her doctor, why don't you go and check on her? Why don't you return the consultation?"
"I usually let my patients go after taking their pulses and prescribing medicine. She will be fine if she takes the medicine on time. Her maid did not come to see me."
She was already an exception.
Wanjiezhu was silenced for a while by his blockage, "So are you going or not?"
"No."
"I'll go by myself!" Humph, he'd better not ask me for help!
Yu Tongchen watched the white bead disappear before his eyes. He sat quietly at the desk for a while before he lowered his eyes and opened the paper to write down some thoughts.
Jing Mo knocked on the door, "Sir, Mo Yanwu is here."
Yu Tongchen's eyebrows were stern, "Tell her to get out. Also, they are changing guards today, and each has his own business. You should guard the front door."
Jing Mo shuddered, "My subordinates were negligent."
Yu Tongchen pushed open the door and said, "You get out too. Let Shang Lu come over."
Meeting Yu Tongchen's cold gaze, Jing Mo froze, "Yes."
