Chapter Eleven Where is the teacher?
After yesterday's embarrassing incident, Nan Muchen clearly felt that Su Mumu's attitude towards him had changed.
The person who was waiting for him to soak the medicine was replaced by a servant, and she would only appear when giving him acupuncture.
When administering the acupuncture, she neither looked at him nor spoke to him, and even seemed to deliberately avoid his gaze.
He really couldn't figure out why the little man who fell in his arms and cursed him yesterday had changed his appearance today, and his expression even showed an indifference that could repel people thousands of miles away.
Su Mumu administered the acupuncture to Nan Muchen, and then quietly opened the fluoroscopy. It was obvious that the black toxin had gradually begun to subside.
After confirming that there was no abnormality in his body or rejection of the medicine, he certainly did not miss Nan Muchen's burning gaze with a hint of doubt and inquiry.
She still didn't say anything to him, but quietly told her servants to pay attention to Nan Muchen's physical condition, and to call her if there was any emergency, and then went to the kitchen to keep an eye on the medicinal ingredients that were still cooking.
In order to cooperate with Nan Muchen's treatment, Lu Qi specially vacated half of the kitchen and selected a few nimble girls for her to use. He also issued strict orders that, except for Lu Qi, Jiang Yeli and her, everyone else
No one is allowed to enter.
This made Su Mumu not only lament his carefulness, but also feel that he was making a fuss out of a molehill.
Could there be someone in his own palace who would want to harm him?
Holding the cattail leaf fan to fan the fire in her hand, Su Mumu looked at the crackling fire under the medicine stove in front of her, dazed in a daze.
Now whenever she has some free time, she will think of yesterday's scene of her wet body falling into Nan Muchen's arms. She would think of his warm chest and the pair of deep and sultry peach blossom eyes in the blurred mist...
My face felt hot again, and I shook my head vigorously to force the ambiguous scene out of my mind.
She had deliberately kept a distance from Nan Muchen, but unfortunately those pictures still invaded her thoughts pervasively, which made her irritated.
"I didn't expect that you could really cure Mu Chen's disease."
A warm voice suddenly sounded from behind her. Su Mumu was frightened and dropped the cattail leaf fan in her hand to the ground.
Turning around warily, it turned out that Jiang Yeli had appeared behind him at some point.
"Did it scare you? I'm sorry." Jiang Yeli saw Su Mumu's guarded face and thought it was his actions that scared her.
Su Mumu did not answer. She turned around and looked directly at Jiang Yeli. Although her expression softened a little, the guard in her eyes did not diminish at all.
Jiang Yeli seems to have a dull personality, a pure temperament, and a pure heart. But in fact, his scheming is probably as deep as that of Nan Muchen.
She had already experienced this the day before yesterday, so she avoided him whenever she could, and the less interaction she had with him, the better. But why did he come to see her again today?
"Jiang has no other intentions, he just wants to say thank you."
Simple? Thank you? She really treated her like a three-year-old child... Obviously she didn't believe that Jiang Yeli's purpose of looking for her was really just to express his gratitude.
As expected, Jiang Yeli asked tentatively: "I wonder...where did Ji Qing study? Jiang might as well pay him a visit."
When Su Mumu heard Jiang Yeli ask about his apprenticeship, although Su Mumu looked calm, she still felt unavoidably panicked in her heart.
If she made up a name at random, with Jiang Yeli's shrewd personality, she would definitely seek verification. Once he found out that he had lied, she would just live with it.
Just as I was thinking of finding an excuse to excuse myself, I heard——
"Princess, it turns out you are here. I can find you now."
Looking following the sound, it turned out to be Bihe, his maid.
At this time, she was standing outside the kitchen, but she did not dare to go in because of Lu Qi's order. She had to stand at the door and salute Su Mumu: "Princess, I have something to tell you."
While speaking, he also noticed Jiang Yeli standing there, and said to him, "I have met Young Master Jiang."
Jiang Yeli wanted to ask Su Mumu something else, but due to Bihe's presence, he missed the opportunity and had to hand over his hand and said, "In that case, Jiang will not bother you for now."
After Jiang Yeli finished speaking, he flicked his sleeves, turned around and walked away, leaving his delicate back alone, which was particularly intriguing.
After watching Jiang Yeli go away, Su Mumu stepped out of the kitchen, looked at Bihe and asked, "Bihe, why are you looking for me?"
"Princess, tomorrow is the day for your return to peace. This servant is here to ask you, do you need to prepare anything?"
Thanks to Bihe's reminder, Su Mumu almost forgot about this matter.
It was an ancient custom that newlyweds would bring gifts to the woman's home for a visit on the third day after they got married, and tomorrow happened to be the third day after she and Nan Muchen got married.
According to ancient rituals, she had to go back, but she really didn't want to go back.
First of all, her status in the Su family was originally dispensable. Even if she went back, there would be nothing to look forward to. She would only be unhappy with the Su family, let alone have any feelings.
Secondly, the marriage with Nan Muchen was just a match forcibly arranged by the Holy Emperor. She was still an innocent substitute and could no longer be an innocent substitute. How could she mention it to him and ask him to accompany her back to the Su who she didn't even want to go back to?
Home?
Hey... Others say that people can't help themselves in the world, but she is in the palace and she can't help herself!
"Princess, princess?" Bihe saw that she was a little confused and could only call out softly.
"Ah...ah?" Su Mumu finally came back to her senses, "What did you just say?"
Bihe patiently asked again: "Do you want me to prepare anything?"
"Just look at the arrangements!" Su Mumu said casually.
Taking Bihe back to Qingwu Hospital, she began to pack up the medical books and prescriptions she had compiled over the past two days.
She asked Bihe to buy these from the Nandu grocery store. Although they were all second-hand goods, in her eyes, they were all genuine and rare treasures.
Most of the traditional Chinese medicine books she has seen in modern times are fragments extracted by modern people based on ancient books. They cannot be handed down completely, and there are inevitably many flaws and inaccuracies in the annotations.
During these days of treating Nan Mu, she could study these precious ancient medical books, and from time to time she would pick up a pen to write something on the paper. Bihe did not bother her, and only polished it for her carefully.
Concentrating on studying the rare herbs in the medical book, time has passed very quickly.
"Princess, it's time for the prince to withdraw the needle." The servant who came from Longchen Pavilion was already waiting respectfully at the door.
"Oh okay, I'll come right away."
Su Mumu responded without raising her head, and reluctantly looked at the medical book twice before standing up and following the servants back to Longchen Pavilion.
There was still no communication or eye contact with Nan Muchen. Su Mumu just concentrated on removing the needle for him.
"Tomorrow, I will go with you to Guining." The low words seemed to float out of Nan Muchen's mouth carelessly, and they sounded extremely pleasant to the ears.
