Chapter 209 Zuyin!
Yun Qingqing smiled calmly and said nothing.
But Yan Haochu knew that she had already given him the answer. He restrained his expression and was about to speak again when a man's cold voice suddenly came from behind him:
"Qingqing, it's time for breakfast."
Yan Haochu turned around and saw the man in black robe from yesterday sitting on the sedan chair, looking at him with an expressionless face.
Those sharp black eyes glanced at him lightly before turning away and leaving with Yun Qingqing.
Yan Haochu wiped his sweat belatedly and had some guesses in his mind.
Yesterday, the guards all called Master Qingyun "Madam". It seems that this is her husband?
He has difficulty walking and is still receiving treatment. Is he injured?
The choice of words was not the usual way of describing a white-clothed man, especially the noble aura that could not be concealed.
He is definitely not a simple person...
Yan Haochu was not the type to like gossip, it was just his job. He subconsciously guessed for a moment, then put his thoughts aside and went to have breakfast.
After everyone had a simple meal, the carriages and horses sent to pick up the abducted women arrived. Yun Qingqing first asked the guards to take the women and the human traffickers back to the city.
She looked at Xiao Changheng and sighed:
"First, give me acupuncture, then take a medicinal bath here."
It was unexpected that Xiao Changheng came to find her. As it was time for acupuncture, there was no time to go back to the palace, so she could only solve it here.
She planned to rush back at noon, just in time for the medicinal bath in the afternoon.
A certain prince had no objection and followed her arrangements.
After she finished the acupuncture, Nan Zheng and the few guards who stayed behind had prepared water. Yun Qingqing put the medicine prepared in the space into the water one by one, and the large bucket of water gradually turned pitch black.
Nan Zheng was shocked when he saw the water:
"Princess, this... the color of this medicinal bath isn't actually this dark, right?"
It was just dark green before, which was already scary, but why is it all black today?
"I adjusted the medication." Yun Qingqing explained.
After saying that, she walked around to the outside of the screen, ready to wait for Xiao Changheng to get into the water, and then she would continue to meditate and refine her spiritual power.
There was a sound of water coming from behind the screen, followed by a muffled hum from Xiao Changheng.
"Prince? Are you... okay?" Nan Zheng asked worriedly.
He thought to himself that the water temperature had just been tested and it wasn't hot.
"It's okay...you guys go down first." Xiao Changheng's voice was a little hoarse, but he had regained his composure.
After Nan Zheng and the others left, Yun Qingqing exhaled slowly and was about to enter a state of meditation, but she heard voices coming from behind the screen again.
"Qingqing, this medicine today is a little weird..."
Yun Qingqing opened her eyes and said calmly:
"It's normal that it hurts. You messed around yesterday and missed an hour of soaking. If I don't adjust the prescription, not only will all my efforts be wasted, but it will also hurt your legs."
"If you want to stand up soon, just bear with it. When this medicine stops hurting, you can switch back to the original prescription."
Xiao Changheng was silent.
Yun Qingqing closed her eyes for a while, then opened them again, frowning.
She stood up, made a hand gesture and threw it at him through the screen.
A golden light passed through the screen, and after a moment, the man's suppressed breathing relaxed and returned to a normal rhythm.
Yun Qingqing walked around the screen and sighed as she looked at the man who had fallen asleep with his eyes closed and was slowly sliding down in the huge wooden barrel.
She rolled up her sleeves, stepped forward and grabbed him, lifting him up and putting him in a position where he would not fall again. She observed him for a while before turning around and leaving.
Looking down, I saw that the bandage on my wrist had been soaked in thick black potion.
Yun Qingqing removed the bandage and saw that the two rows of tooth marks that were very deep and bleeding last night had begun to heal. The wounds were obviously much shallower and no longer needed to be changed or bandaged.
But after washing her hands, she still found a bandage to wrap up the wound, and then returned to the couch to meditate.
Near noon, a breathing sound was heard behind the screen, and Yun Qingqing knew that Xiao Changheng had woken up.
She stood up and called Nanzheng:
"Change his clothes and go back to the palace immediately."
Behind the screen, Xiao Changheng rubbed his forehead in a daze, then turned his head to look in her direction, and the corners of his lips suddenly rose.
It was not until they got down the mountain that Yun Qingqing realized that Xiao Changheng did not come in a carriage, but on a Qianlixue.
"I was in a hurry to find you, and the carriage was too slow." A certain prince explained with a slight frown.
Yun Qingqing felt a little worried when looking at this group of people.
Originally, it was not bad for him to ride a horse, as this would allow him to return to the palace earlier than she expected, leaving him enough time to take a medicinal bath.
But I don’t know what the group of people who came down the mountain first did, but they took away the horse she came with!
Didn't you notice when Yan Haochu left? That's unbelievable.
Xiao Changheng chuckled and immediately extended his hand towards her:
"Come, I'll take you."
Yun Qingqing rubbed her eyebrows fiercely, but still handed her hand to him.
After getting on the horse, she tried to ignore the man's body temperature behind her and leaned over to pat Qianlixue's neck:
"Thanks a lot."
A man's low laugh came from behind my ear:
"How much do you weigh? Qianlixue is not much heavier than you."
Yun Qingqing pursed her lips:
"Let's go."
Along the way, all kinds of thoughts were flying around in Yun Qingqing's mind, and suddenly she had a strange feeling.
I had ridden Qianlixue with this guy in the hunting ground before, but it was not like this at all... awkward.
The man's warm breath hit her ears from time to time, and she couldn't ignore the rise and fall of his chest behind her.
It must be because what he said yesterday was too straightforward that made her feel so uncomfortable.
After all, it is destined not to be the result he wishes.
Yun Qingqing frowned and moved forward.
A big hand immediately grabbed her waist and held her back tightly.
"Don't move, be careful not to fall."
Yun Qingqing: ...
She gritted her teeth, silently performed a heart-clearing technique, and continued on her journey calmly, ignoring the man behind her.
Back at the palace, I had to prepare for the afternoon medicinal bath.
Xiao Changheng grabbed her arm and said:
"No hurry, let me change your medicine first."
Yun Qingqing wanted to stop him but swallowed the words back and let him remove the bandage, revealing two shallow rows of teeth marks inside. Even the bloodstains were so faint that they were almost invisible.
Xiao Changheng stared at her for a long time, then looked up at her with a complicated expression:
"That wasn't the case yesterday."
He had bandaged her wound himself yesterday and remembered clearly how serious it was. He didn't think he could have made a mistake in remembering such a thing.
Yun Qingqing said calmly:
"This is the gap between cultivators and ordinary people. I'm just getting started now. The gap will only get bigger and bigger until it becomes like a chasm."
Xiao Changheng's expression stiffened slightly.
He stopped talking, lowered his eyes, silently picked up the new bandage, and wrapped it around her wrist.
Yun Qingqing exhaled slowly.
He is a very smart person and he understands everything immediately. He should understand it.
After the bandage was completed, Yun Qingqing turned around and was about to go out when she heard a soft call from behind:
"Qingqing."
She stopped and looked back: "Anything else?"
Xiao Changheng didn't look up:
“If I also want to go down this path, where should I start?”
Yun Qingqing opened her mouth, looked at him in surprise for a moment, and shook her head.
"Your qualifications are not suitable for this path. Forget it."
Xiao Changheng clenched his hands suddenly, and when he looked up, he only saw her back disappearing behind the door.
…
Yun Qingqing felt that her words should have worked.
At least after that day, Xiao Changheng returned to normal and never mentioned those topics that gave her a headache again.
The medicinal bath was taken for one hour less than usual. In order not to affect the subsequent treatment, she stayed in the palace for two days to supervise the medicinal bath and adjust the formula at any time.
Two days later, Xiao Changheng's physical condition met expectations and he no longer felt pain when taking the medicinal bath.
Yun Qingqing breathed a sigh of relief, re-fixed the prescription, and specifically reminded him to strictly follow the doctor's orders and not to act rashly again. This time he agreed very obediently.
After finishing all this, Yun Qingqing went to Su Anrong's house again.
"Master-father——"
Su Tongyun shouted happily from a distance, ran over and threw herself on her thighs, rubbing her little head against her, and her little hair dangling back and forth.
Su Anrong's expression was somewhat complicated.
"Ever since she saw you that day, Tongtong has been clamoring to see Master every day at home. But I took her to East Street, but I couldn't find you at Tianming Pavilion."
"Ah, I've been busy with other things these days, so Tianming Pavilion is closed."
Yun Qingqing took out a waist badge and handed it to her:
"Next time you go, take this with you and you can come and go as you please."
Su Anrong finally understood, and quickly thanked him and put away the badge.
Yun Qingqing picked up the baby's collar, reached out and held her in her arms, rubbing her little head.
"I need to be alone with Tongtong for a while, please."
Su Anrong was delighted. This meant that he was going to teach the master's unique skills personally, so it would not be convenient for outsiders to be present, right?
She nodded repeatedly and took Yun Qingqing to a secluded courtyard.
"No one will disturb this yard, don't worry!"
Su Anrong squatted down again and warned:
"Tongtong, you must learn skills from Master seriously and be a good boy, don't make Master angry!"
Yun Qingqing: “…”
She thought the other party might have misunderstood, but never mind.
When there were only two of them left in the room, Yun Qingqing looked at the little kid lying on her legs, pinched her waist and was about to speak.
The little kid rushed over, hugged her neck and rubbed her wildly, and spoke first.
"Zuyin! Tongtong missed you so much~, I finally found you!"
