Chapter 745: New Things (3rd Update)
Shui Xingqiu felt that Xiao Chenglin was a little strange.
The tone is weird, the mood is weird too.
But I can’t tell where exactly…
"Is this what you want to say?" Shui Xingqiu didn't take his words to heart, and even wanted to laugh.
He looked Xiao Chenglin up and down.
"It seems you're also quite wary of Chen Yanchuan. Why, your opponents are no longer those same ones now? Is a prince of the Dingbei Marquisate making you so timid?"
Xiao Chenglin's face was as cold as water.
He had already seen that Shui Xingqiu was just like that: arrogant, conceited, and self-willed.
No matter how much he said, he couldn't persuade Shui Xingqiu.
Shui Xingqiu still felt this wasn't enough, and continued, "After Xiao Chengxuan was exiled, I thought you'd focus all your attention and energy on dealing with Xiao Chengqi. Now it seems... Xiao Chengxuan's downfall wasn't just a stroke of luck on your part, was it?"
This is extremely impolite.
Xiao Chenglin just laughed.
"You can think whatever you want. But this is all I have to say. You can do whatever you want. But there is one thing: if you get into trouble in the future, don't drag me into it."
This conversation had made Xiao Chenglin extremely bored.
He stared at Shui Xingqiu, confirming the doubts in his heart once again.
"One more thing: Does the poison in Fan Chengzhuo's body really have nothing to do with you?"
Shui Xingqiu frowned.
"No. I'm not that free."
The uneasiness in Xiao Chenglin's heart grew stronger.
In fact, he had guessed this answer in his heart, but when he actually heard it, he still felt uneasy.
The unknown creates fear.
Knock knock.
The voice of the attendant came from outside the door.
"Your Highness, someone from Yunlai Tavern has come and delivered some more medicinal wine."
Xiao Chenglin was stunned. "Give it away again?"
"Yes. They said that, judging by the time, the last jar should have been almost used up, so their master specifically ordered two more jars to be sent over."
Xiao Chenglin suppressed his surprise and said, "I understand. I'll take it."
"yes."
The attendant quickly retreated.
Xiao Chenglin collected his thoughts and turned around, only to meet Shui Xingqiu's scrutinizing gaze.
"Yunlai Tavern? The name sounds familiar... If I remember correctly, isn't this the business owned by Ye Chutang?"
Shui Xingqiu felt more and more that something was wrong.
"What is your relationship with Ye Chutang?"
Xiao Chenglin was very unhappy with this questioning tone.
His reaction was also very cold.
"It's just two jars of medicinal wine, what's the connection? She's the doctor, I'm the patient, it's that simple."
He was telling the truth, but Shui Xingqiu didn't quite believe it.
"Just now I felt that you were speaking up for Ye Chutang. Turns out... it was because of this medicinal wine?" Shui Xingqiu's gaze lingered on his legs for a moment, a hint of sarcasm flashing in his eyes. "I don't understand. When did His Highness Prince Jing's favors become so cheap?"
"Shui Xingqiu!" Xiao Chenglin warned in a low voice, "Don't go too far!"
Shui Xingqiu shrugged. "I was just joking. Why take it so seriously?"
Xiao Chenglin didn't think the joke was funny.
"I have my own reasons for doing things, and I don't need others to tell me what to do." Xiao Chenglin's patience was exhausted, and he ordered them to leave.
"It seems there's nothing more to talk about today. The situation is so tense, I won't keep you here."
After saying that, he turned his wheelchair and turned his back, completely refusing to continue communicating.
Shui Xingqiu wasn't someone who liked to bore himself, so he just curled his lips coldly and simply stood up and left.
The room soon fell silent.
Xiao Chenglin's brows were still furrowed.
This Shui Xingqiu will probably be a very destabilizing factor in the future...
"Your Highness."
The long-servant came back, probably knowing that Shui Xingqiu had left, and he pushed the door open and walked in.
"I've already accepted the medicinal wine. The person who delivered it, just like before, resolutely refused to accept the reward, so I sent them back. As for the medicinal wine... what do you think we should do with it?"
Xiao Chenglin pressed his eyebrows.
"It's still the same as before."
"yes."
The attendant agreed, but hesitated.
"But... Your Highness, what do you think she is planning to do by doing this?"
It would have been fine if it had just been delivered once, but this time, it came a second time after a while.
Xiao Chenglin was silent for a long time before he said, "Since we are trying to cure illnesses and save lives, there is no reason to give up halfway."
The attendant understood what he said, couldn't help but look at his legs, and blurted out, "She won't stay there until His Highness's legs are healed, will she? Doesn't that mean—"
Realizing he had spoken out of turn, he suddenly shut his mouth, cold sweat breaking out on his forehead, "I know I was wrong!"
Xiao Chenglin shook his head, indicating that it was okay.
"Since she wants to give it to you, just accept it all."
He had no reason to refuse now, and besides... he actually didn't mind this matter.
"I understand."
The attendant heaved a sigh of relief and turned to leave.
Xiao Chenglin suddenly asked, "By the way, Shui Xingqiu has arrived in the capital. Tell Basha and the others to keep a close eye on her. He is not allowed to see her without my permission."
The attendant quickly realized who he was talking about, but was a little hesitant.
"But she and Shui Xingqiu..."
He saw Xiao Chenglin's cold expression out of the corner of his eye, and he swallowed the rest of his words.
"I understand!"
…
Ye Mansion.
Ye Chutang rolled up her sleeves, revealing her slender white wrists, and was packing several ground herbs separately.
It is March now, and peach and apricot blossoms are in full bloom. Even the night wind seems thick and fragrant, adding a different kind of sweetness.
Mixed with the faint bitter medicinal fragrance, it is even more refreshing.
Xiaowu grinded the medicine grinder a few more times and saw that the white cardamom inside had been ground perfectly. A big satisfied smile appeared on his little face. He carefully put it away and ran to show it to Ye Chutang.
—Sister! Mine is done too!
Ye Chutang took a look and praised with a smile, "Not bad, it's ground finer than last time. I think it will be more effective as medicine this time."
Xiaowu was very proud. After he packed up all his things, he wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve.
——She sat here for a long time this afternoon!
I looked up and saw that it was dark.
Since returning to Beijing, my sister hasn't stayed up so late for a long time.
Xiao Wu patted the powder on his hands, walked closer to Ye Chutang, and watched her finish the work in an orderly manner, with a look of deep confusion in his big eyes.
——Sister, it seems like you don’t have many patients recently. Why are you suddenly so busy again?
I've already made several jars of medicinal wine, not to mention other pills and the like...
Ye Chutang was about to enter the house when he suddenly stopped and looked back.
"Lord Lu Yu?"
The wind blows the leaves.
The next second, a thin and familiar figure appeared in the yard.
"Miss Ye Er."
Ye Chutang asked with interest, "What's going on? Is there something new today?"
