The young master raised his eyes and slowly glanced at Gan Qiongying. His fingers were pressing on Gan Qiongying's pulse. The coldness in his eyes and the chill in his fingertips made Gan Qiongying shudder and wake up completely.
At this moment, Li Hua pushed open the door and came in from the outer room, asking, "How is her health? Does she have any chronic illnesses or old injuries?"
"Prescribe her some medicine to relieve her indigestion; she wasn't sleeping very well just now."
The young master in front of her released Gan Qiongying's wrist and said, "If you can't sleep well, you'll be plagued by nightmares. A calming medicine is more effective than a medicine to relieve indigestion."
Through their conversation, Gan Qiongying quickly confirmed that the person in front of her was the miracle doctor that Li Hua had been talking about.
This doesn't quite fit the image of a divine doctor... Shouldn't a divine doctor be a Taoist immortal or some kind of stubborn old man with a white beard?
Why would it be such a handsome and wicked young master?
The young master stood up from the bedside, his accessories jingling. Gan Qiongying then noticed that his clothes were also very distinctive, with black and white stripes, and he wore a very exaggerated necklace around his neck.
"Her pulse is unstable, and she is not easily able to conceive. As long as she doesn't have sex too frequently, she doesn't need to drink any contraceptive medicine."
Gan Qiongying: "..." Is it really that straightforward?
Li Hua hesitated for a moment. He always blushed easily in front of Gan Qiongying, but he didn't show any shyness when talking about such matters in the bedroom in front of this young master.
Instead, she calmly said, "We are newlyweds, and it's inevitable that we'll indulge in some pleasures. Let's have some, but not the kind that's brewed. Do you have any pills? She's afraid of bitterness."
The young master glanced at Gan Qiongying again before taking out a bottle from his pocket and handing it to her: "One pill after use."
Gan Qiongying was so embarrassed that her scalp tingled. She coughed lightly, looked at Li Hua, reached out and took the item, then stuffed it directly into the quilt.
Li Hua walked to Gan Qiongying's side, poured her a glass of water and told her to drink it first, then personally saw the young master out.
Gan Qiongying took out the small bottle that was tucked inside the quilt, unscrewed it, and smelled it. It didn't have a bitter smell; instead, it had a pleasant fragrance.
Li Hua returned quickly and asked Gan Qiongying, "Are you feeling better? Are you still feeling full? I put a compress on your stomach while you were sleeping."
Gan Qiongying shook her head: "I can't hold on any longer. What time is it now?"
"It's the hour of Xu (7-9 PM)," Li Hua said. "The warm spring on the back mountain is ready. It's a hot spring drawn down from the mountaintop, and it's very good for your health. Shall we go for a soak?"
Gan Qiongying readily agreed. After changing her clothes, she put on a cloak over them before following Li Hua hand in hand up the mountain.
The distance was still quite far. As Li Hua walked, he introduced the scenery of the manor to Gan Qiongying. The lights here were obviously put up temporarily because the two of them were about to leave. The path twisted and turned into the distance, dim and winding.
The autumn wind was still quite chilly, but fortunately, Gan Qiongying was wearing a thick cloak, and Li Hua's warm hand was always holding hers. Gan Qiongying sighed, feeling incredibly peaceful and at ease.
She trusted Li Hua completely, and she even hoped that from now on, she could continue to walk peacefully and steadily with Li Hua.
When the two reached the mountaintop, the servants had prepared everything. It was a place built like a pavilion, with only a large pool carved out of a rock inside. It wasn't exquisite, but smoke curled everywhere, creating a hazy, fairyland-like atmosphere.
Both of them went into the water fully clothed. Gan Qiongying felt so comfortable that all her pores opened up. After soaking for a while, she walked over to Li Hua and played around with him in the water.
Li Hua has always been calm and composed, but when she is with Gan Qiongying, she is always influenced by Gan Qiongying to become a little childish.
The two of them were like two drowned rats who had fallen into the water, splashing around wildly until their faces and heads were completely soaked, before they started laughing at each other again.
But as they laughed, their flushed cheeks became the most potent aphrodisiac in the world.
They drew closer to each other, embraced, and pressed their lips together.
The water splashed and fell back down, overflowed and surged back in.
The water source is artificially controlled in terms of temperature, so it is neither cold nor hot.
The two fooled around until midnight, and only after midnight did they finally put on the dry clothes prepared by the servants and prepare to head back.
At that time, Gan Qiongying's legs were weak, and even her fingers were twitching from being soaked in water. Her face was flushed, and she was buried in her cloak as Li Hua carried her down the mountain.
Li Hua's legs were not strapped, and he was wearing special shoes, but he still limped a little.
He walked very slowly, carrying Gan Qiongying as he moved forward little by little.
Gan Qiongying even felt a little guilty. She had a cripple carry her down the mountain. If she fell asleep at night, she would definitely sit up suddenly and say, "I deserve to die."
Gan Qiongying struggled to get down, but Li Hua disagreed and held her even tighter.
He lowered his head and buried it in his cloak, kissing Gan Qiongying's face and forehead, and whispered, "I'm just a little lame, but my limbs are still very strong. I can carry heavy bags of rice. You are very light, so don't be afraid."
"But...it's still a long way down the mountain, don't your legs... hurt?"
"It doesn't hurt," Li Hua said. "I soaked in the hot spring all night, and now my whole body feels warm."
Not only did they soak all night, but Lihua also exercised all night long. They say there are only oxen that die from exhaustion, not fields that are over-plowed.
Gan Qiongying was now very puzzled. Was Li Hua in such good physical condition? Wasn't she often sick before?
Why are his legs so weak? Li Hua, the ox that plowed the fields all night, seems to be full of energy, like a bull demon king!
However, Li Hua wouldn't let her go down, so Gan Qiongying refused to go down and instead hugged Li Hua's neck with both hands, cheering him on.
Li Hua couldn't help but laugh, and after taking a few steps, he would kiss Gan Qiongying.
The moon, which was originally hanging high in the sky tonight, has now shyly hidden behind the clouds, as if it has been embarrassed by the newlywed couple.
Gan Qiongying felt so relaxed and comfortable that she almost fell asleep in Li Hua's arms.
Fortunately, she mustered her strength and went back to the courtyard to take an ancient version of birth control pill, which allowed her to sleep peacefully.
That sleep lasted until dawn the next day.
The next day, the two stayed in the mountains. Li Hua took Gan Qiongying directly to the back mountain, where there were many courtyards. Li Hua took Gan Qiongying directly to the courtyard of that wicked young master to watch him make human skin masks.
The young master watched Gan Qiongying wander around the courtyard, and only after she had walked a distance away did he ask Li Hua, "Li Hua, I always thought you were a smart person. You even taught her this?"
“She is my wife.” Li Hua looked at the young master and said softly, “Bu Li, you know, I have always longed for a family member. She is not only my wife, but also the person I am prepared to spend my life with.”
"I have nothing to hide from her."
Bu Li was the young master's name. He shook his head, and the ornaments on his head and the intricate necklace around his neck swayed and rattled.
He said, "You, like my mother, believe in human love."
"Fine, whatever. You saved my life, and I'll share everything with you. Whoever you want to teach, I'll help you."
