Chapter 505 Extra: Lu Qiongying and Arisaema (V)

Because the eyes cannot see clearly, the sense of smell becomes particularly acute.

He could sense Lu Qiongying's breath coming through the smell of medicine.

He took a deep breath, calmed himself, gently touched Lu Qiongying's shoulder with his hand, measured her back, and after determining her position, he put aside all distracting thoughts and concentrated on detoxifying Lu Qiongying.

Soon, a thin layer of sweat appeared on his head.

He persisted and said nothing.

"The water is cold. Give her new medicine soup." Tian Nanxing continued to speak, enduring the discomfort in her body.

After the long journey in the past few days, his body was very tired.

But he didn't dare to delay, for fear that something might happen to Lu Qiongying.

Hearing his instructions, the maid in the room quickly put on a new medicinal bath.

This went on for three whole hours. Lu Qiongying finally opened her eyes. Tian Nanxing forced herself to withdraw the needle and passed out.

"Heavenly Doctor."

The guard was startled and quickly sent Tiannanxing out. Lu Heng was also startled and quickly took his pulse.

I was relieved to learn that he just fainted because he was too tired.

When Lu Qiongying woke up, she heard the three words "Tian Taiyi" in a daze.

Is Arisaema coming?

Shouldn't he be in the capital?

But the toxin had just been expelled, and she had not yet fully recovered. She had no strength to get up and find out what had happened.

Lu Qiongying fell into a coma again.

The next day, Lu Qiongying woke up earlier than Tiannanxing.

She saw Lu Heng beside the bed and asked hesitantly, "Third brother?"

"Fifth sister, you're awake!" Lu Heng stretched out his hand to feel her pulse and confirmed that the toxins in her body had been cleared, then he smiled brilliantly.

"That's great. It's nothing serious. You just need to drink some tonic to replenish your body."

"Who gave me acupuncture yesterday to remove the toxins from my body?" Lu Qiongying asked.

"Well..." Lu Heng was a little hesitant.

The fifth princess already dislikes the master. If he tells others about the master, will she be very angry?

"Is it Arisaema that has arrived?" Lu Qiongying asked.

"Well, uh..." Lu Heng hesitated.

"Tell me the truth." Lu Qiongying's face darkened.

"It's me." The first thing Tian Nanxing did after waking up was to visit Lu Qiongying.

I arrived just in time and heard her questioning Lu Heng.

"Fifth Princess, don't worry. I was blindfolded when I gave you the acupuncture yesterday. I absolutely did not offend you in the slightest." He explained hurriedly.

"If the princess does not mind, I am willing to take responsibility for her."

He mustered up the courage to say this.

"Oh, be responsible for me?" Lu Qiongying seemed to have heard a joke.

"You have a nice idea. Could it be that you want to repay my kindness and become my consort by taking advantage of your life-saving grace?"

These words made Tiannanxing's face turn pale.

"Doctor Tian, ​​those who want to be my consort can line up from Xinluo to the capital. Who do you think you are?"

Every word Lu Qiongying said was more hurtful than the last.

Arisaema lowered his head and his shoulders trembled slightly.

"It is my duty to save Her Royal Highness the Princess. I will never ask for anything in return. What I said before was just wishful thinking. I will take my leave."

After saying this while holding back tears, Tian Nanxing left in a hurry.

"Fifth Sister." Lu Heng felt helpless.

"You like my master very much, why do you say such hurtful words? He has finally got out of his turtle shell, don't scare him back with your words."

"I liked him, but that was in the past. He rejected me so many times, don't I have any face?" Lu Qiongying snorted.

She wanted everything in a man. She had fallen in love with Tian Nanxing before and pursued him relentlessly, but he refused to give in.

Now, she has given up, and he is chasing her instead.

It is exactly as the second princess said, men should not be spoiled too much, otherwise they will easily become arrogant.

Don't focus on men, and men will naturally focus on you.

The second princess is really an expert at keeping her husband safe!

No wonder her second brother-in-law Jiang Heci is so devoted to her.

Lu Heng was helpless and left after making sure that the Fifth Princess was fine.

He doesn't even have a wife himself, why should he worry about their affairs?

Anyway, the fifth princess will definitely be able to get married. As for the master, it doesn’t matter whether he gets married or not, because he will take care of him until the end of his life.

When he returned to the tent, he found that his master was waiting for him.

"After I left, did the Fifth Princess say anything?" He finally couldn't help it and ran to ask Lu Heng.

"Are you sure you want to hear the truth?" Lu Heng looked at him with some sympathy.

I hope the master will not faint again after hearing what the fifth princess said.

"Of course. Lies are meaningless." Tian Nanxing nodded.

Lu Heng repeated what Lu Qiongying had just said.

Then she patted his shoulder and said, "Don't be depressed. Anyway, you didn't want to be my fifth sister's consort before. Now it's just right. She doesn't want to force it."

"I'm not depressed." Arisaema shook her head.

"She said that, which means she is still angry with me. Being angry with me means she has me in her heart. If I were gone, she wouldn't react to anything I do."

Instead, he found a glimmer of hope in Lu Qiongying's words.

Lu Heng: ???

How can that sentence be interpreted in this way?

"The Fifth Princess is right. She pursued me so many times before, and I didn't know how to behave and rejected her so many times. Now it's her turn to reject me, which is normal. After she vents her temper, she will probably forgive me." Tian Nanxing smiled.

Lu Heng: ???

Has the master suffered such a great blow that he has gone crazy?

After saying this, Tian Nanxing left his tent.

Every day thereafter, he would prepare medicinal meals and send them to Lu Qiongying's tent.

"Fifth Princess, I know I was wrong. This is the medicinal food I prepared myself. Please enjoy it."

Lu Qiongying would not be hard on her own body, and she accepted all the medicinal food sent by Tiannanxing, but her attitude towards him was as cold as ever, and she no longer had the enthusiasm she once had.

Tian Nanxing was not discouraged. After Lu Qiongying finished eating, he looked at her with a smile.

"Fifth Princess, I am in love with you. Can you give me a chance to become your consort?"

"Arisaema, are you trying to get the upper hand over young girls? There's such a big age gap between us, it's not appropriate." Lu Qiongying shook his head and used the reason he used to reject her at the beginning.

"As you get older, you become more considerate and know how to care for others. You see, my skill in making medicinal food is pretty good, right?" Tian Nanxing was not angry and still looked at him with a smile.

"It's indeed good." Lu Qiongying nodded.

Tiannanxing's eyes lit up, thinking that she agreed.

Unexpectedly, Lu Qiongying changed the subject and raised an eyebrow, saying, "If you don't want to work in the Imperial Hospital anymore, you can come to my house and be a cook."
