Chapter 7 Why does his mouth hurt for no apparent reason?
"Yes." The maid's voice came again from outside the house.
The next moment, the door was pushed open, and a maid in peach-colored clothes entered the room, carrying medicine. She then walked to Yun Qingshi's bedside and said tentatively, "Sir, may I help you get up and drink the medicine?"
Yun Qingshi had just tried it and knew his current condition. He couldn't get up at all, and he couldn't take medicine lying down, so he didn't refuse: "Okay."
The maid nodded when she heard this, first placed the medicine on the small table beside the bed, and then carefully helped Yun Qingshi to half sit up against the soft pillow.
Yun Qingshi looked at the dark medicine on the small table beside him, thought for a moment, and finally made a request: "Could you please pour me a glass of water? I need to rinse my mouth first."
He simply couldn't drink without brushing his teeth.
Although brushing your teeth is inconvenient now, you still have to rinse your mouth.
The maid did not refuse and quickly went to help get some water.
Yun Qingshi rinsed his mouth carefully with the copper basin before drinking the medicine.
He also refused the maid's offer of medicine.
Wouldn’t it be fatal to drink Chinese medicine spoonful by spoonful?
He swallowed it in one gulp, but still frowned because of the bitterness, and almost couldn't help vomiting.
Fortunately, he managed to hold back.
It's not that he's being pretentious, it's just that the medicine is bitter and astringent, and has a nauseating taste.
Moreover, he had only taken Chinese medicine a few times before, and he really couldn't get used to it.
The maid seemed to have noticed Yun Qingshi's distress and hurried to the table to pour a glass of water and handed it to Yun Qingshi: "Master, please have a drink of water to calm down."
Yun Qingshi quickly took the water and drank it all, finally feeling a little better.
He then thanked the maid: "Thank you."
The maid shook her head and said, "Your Excellency is too kind. I will come back to deliver the medicine later. I will leave now."
Yun Qingshi nodded slightly in response.
The maid then left again with the empty bowl.
He was the only one left in the room, and his wound was aching again. Yun Qingshi's eyes couldn't help but fall on the small porcelain bottle beside the couch.
Those were the painkillers Ye Runan left for him last night.
And this medicine is really effective.
After taking it, he slept well all night and was not woken up by pain.
Yun Qingshi was still sitting with his back leaning against a pillow, so he could easily reach the porcelain vase on the small table with just one hand.
He just shook the porcelain bottle in his hand, hesitated for a while, but did not open it.
In fact, he originally wanted to eat another one, but then he remembered that Ye Runan said that eating too much would make people stupid, so he gave up.
It doesn't matter if you're sleepy, but forget it if you become stupid.
He might as well save it for dinner so he can at least get a good night's sleep.
But why did his mouth hurt for no apparent reason?
Still a little numb...
Yun Qingshi couldn't help but lick it with his tongue, and then he licked the wound that Xiao Jiwu had bitten yesterday.
He couldn't help but curse "bastard" again, and didn't think about it anymore.
There was still a bitter taste in his mouth. Yun Qingshi smacked his lips and found that he was a little hungry again.
He was also a little confused.
Why is it that only someone brings him medicine but no one brings him food?
He won't have to find it himself...
There's no way. It's different from when he was at home. Now he has to rely on himself for everything.
After hesitating for a moment, Yun Qingshi tried to move his body again, but the pain instantly made him lie back down in the quilt.
He can't do it.
Forget it, skipping a few meals is no big deal, I should just go to sleep, Yun Qingshi comforted himself.
Looking out the window, it seemed as if it had just been dawn.
He closed his eyes and soon fell asleep again...
————
About half an hour later, there was a knock on Yun Qingshi's door again.
He woke up slowly, and this time he had no intention of getting up. He just lay there as usual and asked a question, only to learn that it was another maid who came to bring him breakfast.
Yun Qingshi felt a little comforted, and then drank porridge and ate snacks in bed.
At least I won’t starve to death.
After he finished eating, the maid packed up and left.
However, this time the maid left some water for him before leaving, and placed it on the small table beside the couch so that he could drink it at any time.
Yun Qingshi had eaten and drunk his fill, and felt a little better. When he found that he couldn't fall asleep again, he rested his arms on the bed and stared at the ceiling, thinking about things.
He thought that there was no chance of escape for the time being.
If the poison in your body is not cured, it will be useless to run away.
Now he can only think of ways and survive as the story goes. Maybe an opportunity will come one day.
As for the plot...
It should be more than a year away from the official timeline in the novel.
But according to the plot, this cannon fodder actually did not live to that time.
Yes, in the original book, Ying Shiyi has always lived in memories.
The main purpose of his existence as a cannon fodder is to show that the tyrant is bad from beginning to end. He is an early character.
So the things that happened to the protagonists later on had nothing to do with him.
There was another person who was related to him, a vicious little bitch beside Xiao Jiwu. Because she liked Xiao Jiwu, she often bullied and humiliated the original owner.
But now it seems that guy hasn't appeared yet.
When the other party appears, that's when he really starts to follow the plot.
Now, his task is to recover from his injuries as soon as possible, otherwise he will be too passive.
Then, as he thought about it, Yun Qingshi couldn't help but think of Xiao Jiwu again.
It was also because he had just read the book not long ago, so he remembered it relatively clearly.
Of course, there is also the reason that the villain Xiao Jiwu is too crazy.
After all, Xiao Jiwu, who became a tyrant in the later period, was extremely cruel. He didn't even need a reason to kill people.
Although Xiao Jiwu is also a pervert now, it seems that he has not reached that level yet.
Let’s talk about Xiao Jiwu’s past.
As for villains, apart from being born with antisocial personality, they usually have a miserable life experience, and Xiao Jiwu is no exception.
Don't be fooled by the fact that he is now a prince with a lot of people following him and is extremely noble.
But he had a miserable childhood. Although he was a prince, even the eunuchs could step on him at any time.
Not to mention food and clothing, it's a miracle that he survived.
The reason for all these tragedies was Xiao Jiwu's beautiful heterochromia eyes.
In the inclusive modern society, people with heterochromia do not face much discrimination, and science can explain the causes of heterochromia.
And often, heterochromia is praised for its uniqueness and beauty.
He really liked Xiao Jiwu's heterochromatic eyes because they were really beautiful.
But in the feudal and ignorant ancient times, it would be an ominous sign.
Before Xiao Jiwu gave birth to Xiao Jiwu, Concubine Rou, his mother, had already been neglected by the emperor, but it was at that time that she discovered that she was pregnant.
Concubine Rou began to hope that her status would be enhanced by her son, and she hoped to give birth to a prince.
The child she gave birth to later was indeed a prince.
But she never expected that the child would be born with a different appearance from ordinary people.
