Duke Jing's younger sister

Chapter 254 You wait

Considering that she had not yet recovered, Shen Beiqi did not dare to be too presumptuous.

Jiang Li woke up for a moment and then fell asleep again.

Shen Beiqi stared at her blushing cheeks and the traces he left behind, and a smile appeared at the corner of his lips, as soft and warm as the spring breeze.

He carefully picked her up and put her into the bathtub which was emitting hot steam.

After cleaning her and dressing her, he quietly opened the door and carried her back to the front yard.

The King of Medicine was sitting in a rocking chair with his legs crossed, eating fruit leisurely.

Hearing the footsteps behind him, he looked at Shen Beiqi in surprise, then raised his head to look at the setting sun which had not yet completely set.

"So fast?" Medicine King said in disbelief, "It's less than half an hour, right?"

Shen Beiqi paused, his eyebrows twitched twice, but he still didn't say anything.

The King of Medicine stood up and followed him into the house. He sat beside the couch and felt Jiang Li's pulse. The more he felt, the more his brows furrowed. He cast an unspeakable look at Shen Beiqi who was standing beside him.

That look seemed to be saying, you look like a decent human being, yet you are actually not capable of this?

The Medicine King coughed twice and put her hand back. "Um... Lord Shen, I have some... medicine here, maybe it can help you, do you want it..."

Shen Beiqi's face suddenly sank, and he interrupted, "No need."

"No need?"

The King of Medicine sighed helplessly, "This poison has only been detoxified by less than 20%. Others can successfully detoxify it in three times, but you need five or six times. However, it is not your fault that you are incompetent. It is not shameful to use medicine!"

Shen Beiqi's calm expression cracked for a moment. He raised his hand and pinched his brow, explaining, "I was afraid of hurting her."

The King of Medicine was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized, "Oh, I thought, he is a famous general after all, it is impossible that he is only at this level, right?"

"But I'm not saying you..."

The King of Medicine stood up and patted his shoulder. "Women, you should feel pain when you should feel pain, but not when you shouldn't feel pain. Have you ever seen a man who feels sorry for a woman in this matter?"

Shen Beiqi had a blank expression on his face, "Junior knows."

"That's good to know. We'll continue tomorrow."

The King of Medicine left after saying a few words and walked away.

Jiang Li pursed her lips tightly, almost unable to hold it back.

She had just woken up in a daze and heard something about poor abilities and the need to take medicine.

The amount of information was a bit overwhelming, and she was so scared that she didn't even dare to open her eyes.

The scenes in the dream just now gathered in her mind bit by bit, and he told her to remember that it was not a dream.

It turns out that it wasn't a dream.

From what the old man said, they... did that to detoxify?

I think this old man should be Miao Yu’s master, Luozhu Medicine King.

"Still pretending to sleep?"

Shen Beiqi patted her face gently. Her face was so red that it was obvious that she had heard everything he and Medicine King had just said.

She tentatively opened one eye, then blinked and looked at him for a moment.

The charming scene between the two of them just now emerged in my mind again.

Jiang Li felt her ears burning, and hurriedly pulled up the quilt to cover her face to hide the surging heat.

"What did you hear?"

His voice came faintly through the thin quilt.

She pulled the quilt down, revealing only two clear eyes. "I didn't hear anything."

"Really?"

Shen Beiqi smiled and leaned closer, "Did you hear that? We will continue to detoxify tomorrow?"

"……heard it."

She answered truthfully, and then remembered the words of the King of Medicine, and advised, "Actually, you don't have to feel any pressure. As long as you can detoxify, you don't need to compare yourself with others. If you don't want to take the medicine, then don't take it."

It seems that Miao Yu also has this kind of medicine.

But Jiang Li felt that it didn't matter whether it was three times or five times, as long as it could detoxify.

All medicines are poisonous to some extent. I don’t know if the medicine has any side effects, so just don’t take it.

When the King of Medicine spoke just now, Shen Beiqi was still able to maintain a calm expression.

Now that he heard Jiang Li comforting him in such a roundabout way, he really couldn't hold back his expression.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, nodded meaningfully, and almost gritted his teeth as he spoke word by word, "Our little Ah Li is really considerate!"

"But I'm curious..." Shen Beiqi leaned close to her ear, "Haven't you tried it before? Don't you know whether I need to take medicine?"

Jiang Li was stunned for a moment, and stammered, "But I...haven't tried anyone else..."

How can we know whether he needs to take medicine compared to others?

Besides, how do we define what is okay and what is not okay?

She doesn't understand either.

Shen Beiqi laughed angrily, pinched her jaw, and squeezed her little face together, "Do you want to try someone else?"

"No, no, I haven't thought about it that way!" Jiang Li waved her hands in panic, like a frightened deer.

There was a hint of danger in Shen Beiqi's eyes. He gave her a kiss that seemed to punish her and said, "Jiang Li, you wait!"

Jiang Li's heart skipped a beat.

It’s over, it’s over, she has stepped on the rabbit’s tail!

When she was in the Shen Mansion, she heard the cleaning ladies gossiping and saying that what men hate most is being told that they are not good enough.

No matter what it is, it has to be impossible, especially that thing.

She was still young at that time and didn't know what it was.

But she understood later, and now she understands that those old women did not speak nonsense.

Listen, he directly called her "Jiang Li".

It can be seen that he was really angry.

But she didn't say anything, she just advised him not to take the medicine.

Not only did he not know how to appreciate kindness, but he was even angry with her. It was really unfair!

Although I still have no strength, I feel much better than before, and now I am really hungry.

Seeing that he was angry, she held his sleeves like when he was a child and said softly, "Brother, I'm hungry. Can you help me find something to eat?"

Shen Beiqi looked back in surprise and said immediately, "I'll go call the Medicine King over."

He stood up and was about to leave, and she quickly pulled his sleeve, "Hey, I mean I'm hungry."

What's the use of calling the Medicine King? Is the Medicine King also good at cooking?

At this moment, the King of Medicine was in his kitchen, holding a burnt chicken and sighing.

"Oh, another waste of a chicken!" He threw the black chicken out of the window.

His tabby cat came up and sniffed, then walked away in disgust.

The young man paused, turned around and stared at her for a moment, as if trying to tell from her face whether his words were true or false.

"really?"

Jiang Li realized that before in the inn, she seemed to have used the excuse of being hungry to send him out.

She smiled and said, "I am really hungry. My stomach feels empty now. If you listen carefully, you can even hear the rumbling sound of my stomach."

Seeing that she looked fine, Shen Beiqi felt relieved. "Okay, wait a moment, I'll be back soon."
