Chapter 344 You Are More Effective Than Medicine
When Doctor Li left, he caught a glimpse of Mu Huaian standing outside the yard for an unknown period of time. He shook his head and thought: Another amorous man.
Just as he was about to leave, Mu Huaian called out to him, "Doctor Li."
Doctor Li stopped and saluted Mu Huaian, "Master Mu, what can I do for you?"
The night wind blew past the corners of his clothes. Mu Huaian stood in the shadows, unable to see the expression in his eyes. He looked at Doctor Li and asked in a low voice, "What happened to him?"
During this period, because of the matter between Cheng Gongjin and Yu Qinghuan, he had so many complaints about Cheng Gongjin that he didn't pay much attention to Cheng Gongjin's physical condition.
If he hadn't come to see Yu Qinghuan today and happened to meet Xiaoying who was looking for Sang Ru, he wouldn't even know that Cheng Gongjin was sick.
He asked Xiaoying what disease Cheng Gongjin had, but Xiaoying hesitated and refused to say anything.
Doctor Li was holding the medicine box and showed some hesitation on his face when he heard this.
Obviously, Cheng Gongjin has not revealed his illness to anyone in Duke Dingguo's Mansion until now.
He pondered for a moment before slowly saying, "Mr. Mu, please forgive me for not saying more."
Mu Huaian frowned slightly, took a step forward and asked, "Injured... or poisoned?"
There was an unconcealable anxiety in his tone, and his eyes were fixed on Doctor Li, trying to find out the truth from the other's expression.
Doctor Li sighed and shook his head, saying, "Doctors have their own rules. If Master Mu wants to know, why not go and ask in person?"
After he finished speaking, he bowed slightly and walked away.
Mu Huaian stood there, neither entering the house nor leaving. He was thinking about the past days. Cheng Gongjin had actually stayed at home and claimed to be sick, but at that time, he always thought it was just a cold. In fact, he did recover in a few days.
But this time, Cheng Gongjin claimed to be ill and had been ill for nearly half a year.
In fact, there were clues about this matter, but he deliberately ignored them, thinking that Cheng Gongjin was trying to snatch Yu Qinghuan from him.
But Cheng Gongjin's personality...even if he wanted to snatch someone away, he would not claim to be sick and ignore the affairs of the court for half a year.
At this moment, Mu Huaian felt that he had neglected too much. He did not care enough about this person who should have been extremely close to him and respected him, and he did not know anything.
...
Inside the room, Yu Qinghuan helped Cheng Gongjin sit up from the couch. "The poison has been removed. Doctor Li said there's still some poison in your system. You need to take medicine and receive acupuncture for a few days."
As she spoke, she brought over the medicine that had already cooled on the table next to her.
Cheng Gongjin leaned against the head of the bed, his pale face looking somewhat pitiful in the candlelight. He nodded slightly. Although he had just fainted, he was still conscious and could hear some conversations in the room.
Seeing Yu Qinghuan handing the medicine bowl to his lips, Cheng Gongjin reached out and grabbed her wrist, "It's bitter."
Yu Qinghuan was stunned. In the past, when he saw him drink medicine, he would just gulp it down and never said it was bitter.
Could it be that even though the poison has been removed, the person has become weaker and weaker, unable to even endure hardship?
Cheng Gongjin stared at the bowl of dark brown medicinal juice, but his fingertips gently stroked Yu Qinghuan's wrist.
Yu Qinghuan immediately understood what he meant and took a candied fruit from the tray beside him. Just like Sang Ru had coaxed herself when she took the medicine before, she coaxed Cheng Gongjin, "There is candied fruit. I'll give you one after you take the medicine."
As she spoke, she couldn't help laughing and brought the medicine bowl to Cheng Gongjin's mouth again, as if to make some kind of deal. "How is it?"
Cheng Gongjin responded indifferently, took the medicine from her hand and drank it all in one gulp.
The medicine juice slid down the corner of his lips. Yu Qinghuan subconsciously wiped it with her hand, but he suddenly held her fingertips in his mouth.
The warm touch made her breath hitch.
Cheng Gongjin's tongue rolled over the medicinal juice remaining on her fingertips, and undercurrents surged in his eyes.
He didn't say anything, but Yu Qinghuan understood. Her ears felt hot and she tried to pull her hand back, but he held it tighter and pulled her to sit on the edge of the couch.
The tips of their noses almost touched.
"Why aren't you looking at me?"
“Who doesn’t look at you…”
As soon as she raised her eyes, she was kissed by Cheng Gongjin.
This kiss has the bitterness of medicine, but is sweeter than candied fruit.
Cheng Gongjin's palm was placed on her lower back, which was different from the past. This time, it was as if they had made some kind of agreement.
After the kiss, Yu Qinghuan's breathing was a little unstable, but she still pretended to be calm: "It seems that you are in good spirits now."
We can all be close to each other.
Cheng Gongjin chuckled softly, stroking the corners of her eyes with his knuckles: "Thanks to you."
His voice was so low that it was almost inaudible as he pulled her into his arms. He had never felt so relaxed as he did at that moment, feeling so close to the so-called happiness that others talked about.
Yu Qinghuan lowered her head and buried her face in the crook of his neck. "I hope you live a long life."
Cheng Gongjin tightened his arms, holding her tighter, resting his chin on the top of her head, "Well, I'll try my best."
Through the thin undershirt, Yu Qinghuan could clearly feel Cheng Gongjin's violent heartbeat.
The night breeze blew through the half-open window. Yu Qinghuan listened to his gradually steady breathing, her fingers unconsciously circling his heart. Curiously, she asked, "Did you ever imagine that we would end up like this at Jiuchong Mountain?"
Cheng Gongjin grabbed her rebellious hand, interlocked their fingers, and said without hesitation: "I have thought about it."
"You're lying." Yu Qinghuan glared at him. "You didn't even look me in the eye then, and you kept pinching me. It was obvious you wanted to kill me."
Hearing this, Cheng Gongjin's eyes turned gloomy when he looked at Yu Qinghuan. He did not answer Yu Qinghuan, but he knew it in his heart.
When the poison took effect, he really thought about killing Yu Qinghuan to prevent himself from being repeatedly aroused by this person.
But at the moment when Yu Qinghuan bit him, he suddenly developed some other selfish desires. He wanted more, wanted to see her appear in front of him alive, smiling or angry, even if it was not towards him.
Seeing Cheng Gongjin was silent and didn't know what he was thinking, Yu Qinghuan broke free from his arms and asked, "Why aren't you talking?"
Cheng Gongjin gently pinched her chin and pressed his thumb on her lips. "I'm thinking about how to repay Madam Yu for saving my life when I get better."
Yu Qinghuan opened her mouth and bit his fingertips lightly: "Then you have to think carefully, I am very greedy, everything..."
Cheng Gongjin's fingertips suddenly pierced her hair, and he sealed her words with his lips. After a while, he pressed his lips against her forehead and said in a hoarse voice, "As long as I have, I will give it to you."
Yu Qinghuan felt her ears burning with anger when she heard this, and she couldn't help but think of something wrong.
She coughed lightly and said, "It seems that the medicine prescribed by Doctor Li is indeed effective. I'll ask someone to make another bowl later..."
Cheng Gongjin suddenly hugged her waist tightly, and nuzzled her earlobe. "You're more effective than medicine."
The moonlight shines through the window screen, casting a shadow of the two hugging on the ground.
Yu Qinghuan gently kissed Cheng Gongjin's forehead: "Go to sleep. I'll go back to sleep after you fall asleep."
Cheng Gongjin half closed his eyes, his fingers still tightly clasped with hers. In the last moment before falling asleep, he was thinking that he would protect the woman in front of him for the rest of his life.
...
After Cheng Gongjin fell asleep, Yu Qinghuan got up and left, closing the door quietly.
She turned around, rubbing her sore neck. She was about to go back to her yard to rest when she looked up and caught a glimpse of a familiar figure standing in the yard. The moonlight shining on the person made him look a little lonely.
Yu Qinghuan called out softly, "Huai'an?"
