Chapter 118: Two Months Left Before the Birth of a Married Woman
"Why are you dressed as a young master today? I just saw your back and it looked familiar. If you hadn't worn your hat properly and exposed your hair, I wouldn't have dared to call you."
Shangguan Nanxing walked up, put his arms around Su Yue's head, carefully adjusted Su Yue's hat, and put back the fallen hair bit by bit.
The two were so close that Su Yue could feel Shangguan Nanxing's breath, and her ears suddenly turned red.
As it was approaching noon, there were more people on the street. Seeing the two handsome men's ambiguous actions, everyone had complicated looks.
"I... I just felt like changing my outfit for fun." Su Yue thought for a long time before giving this reason.
"You are still two months away from coming of age. You will be considered an adult then. Don't be so reckless."
Shangguan Nanxing chuckled. He knew that she was just trying to fool him, but he didn't think too much about it.
"So soon?" Su Yue exclaimed without thinking too much when she heard that she would be coming of age in two months. However, when she turned around and calculated, it was really two months away from her coming of age.
"Fast? I think it's a bit slow, and you're so small. When I get back, I'll send someone to bring you some supplements."
Shangguan Nanxing glanced at Su Yue. The girl in front of him looked very thin because she had not had enough food and drink for five years in the countryside.
"Even if I'm 15 years old, I won't marry you so soon."
When Su Yue heard him say that he was too slow to reach marriage age, she subconsciously thought that Shangguan Nanxing was anxious to marry her, so she hurriedly told him her plan, but because she was shy, her voice was as soft as a mosquito.
"You, what are you thinking about in your little head? Don't worry, I won't force you to marry me. I want you to be my prince consort willingly."
Shangguan Nanxing looked at Su Yue, whose face was blushing in front of him, and found her extremely cute. He couldn't help but touch her face with his hand and spoke in a doting voice.
The crowd nearby who were unaware of the truth, watching the two young men being so intimate, exclaimed in their hearts: The world is going downhill, the world is going downhill, how can two men be so upright nowadays?
"Brother Nanxing..." Su Yue was stunned. She was satisfied to have someone like Brother Nanxing who respected and loved her.
However, because she has not yet succeeded in her revenge, she really does not want to get married so early.
The most important thing is, if she gets married, who will take care of Aunt Liu and her daughter?
"Okay, Yue'er, I have something important to talk to you about." Shangguan Nanxing followed Su Yue's footsteps and walked forward silently.
"Brother Nanxing, is there anything troubling you?" Su Yue saw Shangguan Nanxing's serious expression, so she calmed down and asked with concern.
"In the morning, Shangguan Nanfeng came to my house and brought a royal doctor with him. He said he was concerned about my illness and had invited a famous doctor.
I refused on the grounds that I was in good health and that it was unlucky to see a doctor during the Chinese New Year. However, before Shangguan Nanfeng left, he said that he would bring someone to see me tomorrow.
"Why did Shangguan Nanfeng suddenly bring a doctor to your house? Has this happened before?"
Su Yue stared, her big eyes in deep thought.
"I have never had this happen before. Today is the first time. I thought that if the doctor he brought with him examined my pulse, the fact that my stubborn illness had been cured would surely be exposed."
Shangguan Nanxing and Su Yue looked at each other, and they both saw deep thought in each other's eyes. There must be something they overlooked that was noticed by Shangguan Nanfeng, otherwise, he would not have been so eager to bring people to verify it on the first day of the new year.
"Brother Nanxing, have you had any contact with him recently?" Su Yue asked softly.
"No, Shangguan Nanfeng and I weren't that close, and we just happened to meet the night before yesterday."
Shangguan Nanxing shook his head slightly. He had been staying in the mansion to recuperate for the past few days and had not gone out, so naturally he could not see Shangguan Nanfeng.
"Since he has never been brought here before, and he has only seen it last night, then the problem is most likely caused by the night before yesterday."
Su Yue raised her right hand slightly, unconsciously resting it on her chin as she thought about it, and then analyzed it secretly.
"Maybe I know where the problem lies!" When Shangguan Nanxing heard Su Yue's words, a glimmer of understanding flashed in his eyes.
"It must be because you hit me the night before yesterday, but I was fine, which aroused his suspicion. After all, if it was usual, let alone a hit, even if you pushed me lightly, I would probably fall to the ground."
Shangguan Nanxing reacted very quickly and naturally thought of this relationship. After he finished speaking, he secretly warned himself that he must be cautious in his future actions.
"Well, that's probably why." Su Yue nodded slightly, agreeing with Shangguan Nanxing's guess.
"So Yue'er, I came to you this time just to ask you if there is any way to hide it from the doctor? After all, given the current situation in the court, it would be safer for me to keep the disease with me."
Shangguan Nanxing is naturally not stupid. Concubine Hui has great power. Shangguan Nanfeng and Concubine Hui have not touched him yet, so naturally he thinks that he will not live long.
Instead of spending time dealing with himself and arousing the emperor's dislike, it would be better to use this time to expand his own power.
However, once they knew that his illness had been cured, Shangguan Nanxing believed that Concubine Hui would be the first to take action against him.
“When doctors diagnose patients, they mostly rely on feeling your pulse. I do have a prescription that can temporarily suppress your pulse, making it messy and weak, making you look like you’ve been ill for a long time.
However, this prescription is extremely strong and must not be used too much. Brother Nanxing, if you have nothing to do today, you can go with me to find Xiaohe first, and then we can go to my pharmacy together later. I can directly prepare the medicine for you then, which will be more convenient. ”
Su Yue walked quite fast, and while the two were chatting, she saw Xiao He standing not far from the Dengwen Drum.
Because she specifically instructed that we should not stand directly under the drum, as that would attract too much attention. Therefore, Xiaohe was standing some distance away from the Dengwen Drum, and when others passed by, they just thought that the girl might be waiting for someone.
"Miss." Xiao He was bored when she saw someone walking towards her. Although one of them was wearing men's clothes, she could tell at a glance that it was her mistress.
So he quickly ran over to greet him with a smile on his face.
"You did a good job. Come with me." Su Yue stopped when she saw Xiao He running towards her. When Xiao He came closer, the three of them turned around and walked towards Jichun Hall.
Although today is the second day of the Chinese New Year, Su Yue only left one volunteer to guard the store for fear of special circumstances, and let everyone else go home to celebrate the New Year.
Because buying medicine during the Chinese New Year is considered unlucky, few people are willing to go out to buy medicine unless it is absolutely necessary.
So, actually, Jichuntang hasn't seen a single customer since it opened in the morning until now.
This made it convenient for Su Yue to take the medicine herself. She then carefully ground it into powder and divided it into four packets to give to Shangguan Nanxing.
After Shangguan Nanxing took the medicine, the two of them went out for a walk for the whole afternoon. It was only when it was getting dark that he sent Su Yue back to the Prime Minister's Mansion and then returned to the Third Prince's Mansion.
