Ji Yujin: “……” He just said!
Everyone: “!!”
What? What did they just hear?
Chu Fengqing calmly wiped the water off his hands with a handkerchief and then looked at Ji Yujin again.
Ji Yujin poked his upper jaw with the tip of his tongue and laughed. “So vindictive? I only called you that once.”
Chu Fengqing remained silent. He looked at the few drops of blood on the bed and the blood-stained clothes and whispered, “Little dirty ghost.”
“Hahaha.” Ji Yujin couldn’t help but burst into laughter, accidentally moving his wound and starting to cough.
He coughed a few times and chuckled. “Argue over little details.”
Li Yu and the imperial physicians’ eyes moved back and forth between the two of them. Although Li Yu tried his best to control himself, but he still rolled his eyes. He didn’t know why he felt that he was being shown off by this damn eunuch.
The imperial physicians looked at the wound and Ji Yujin’s careless movements, and their hearts were tense. If the wound broke open again, it would be troublesome. However, they did not have the courage to remind Ji Yujin.
Finally, it was Chu Fengqing who spoke up in a cold voice: “If the wound breaks open again, I won’t help you stitch it up anymore.”
Ji Yujin pursed his lips and smiled. Look, his words were full of concern. I just made a few big moves, but he was this worried. If he really knew how I was killing the enemies outside, he would not even be able to sleep!
Ji Yujin leaned against the bed, lying quietly and obediently, his black hair hanging down beside him, making his face look even paler. He smiled and said, “Not dangerous at all.”
“Huh?” Chu Fengqing met his eyes and understood that the words were directed at him, but what was he talking about? Never mind, it wasn’t the first time that he didn’t understand what he was saying.
Moreover, this person had been very cold to him before he left, so why did he become a different person after he came back? People outside said that he was moody, it seems true.
He didn’t investigate further, and he turned around to pack up his tools. Some of the tools here were his original ones, which he had placed in the small courtyard where he had temporarily lived before. He only asked Steward Mo to get them.
The two old imperial physicians immediately came over.
“Madam, can you show us these tools?”
Chu Fengqing made way for them, “Yes.”
The imperial physician picked up the needle that had been used to sew the wound. It was called a needle, but in fact, it was more like a curved hook. The tip of the needle was extremely sharp, so it could pierce the skin and flesh very well.
“Wonderful!” The second imperial physician looked at these tools, each of which was very novel. “May this old man ask the Madam about the stitching technique that Madam used just now? This old man saw that you are very skilled, and the wound you stitched is neat and not too big.”
Chu Fengqing nodded. “Of course.”
If the imperial physicians could really learn it, it would be a good thing for the people.
Ji Yujin just watched them discussing enthusiastically around the table, he just left him here?
Seeing that he was so close to the two of them, he inexplicably felt a little suffocated. Ji Yujin frowned and pretended to cough a few times.
However, the three people ignored him and showed no reaction?
Ji Yujin pursed his lips and coughed heavily twice again.
“Uh…” The room was still quiet, with no response.
Ji Yujin: “Chu Yinyin.”
Chu Fengqing was stunned for a moment and didn’t react at first. When he finally reacted, he turned around and blinked. “En?”
Ji Yujin: “Why does my wound hurt so much?”
Chu Fengqing: “Otherwise?”
Ji Yujin: “……”
Chu Fengqing: “Your wound is very deep. It will hurt for a few days. Be careful and don’t pull it.”
Ji Yujin: “Oh.”
Li Yu, who watched the whole process, had a distorted expression. Damn, Ji Yujin must have taken the wrong medicine!
Chu Fengqing continued to explain, and the two old imperial physicians were amazed. No one in the entire Imperial Medical was proficient in trauma injury. Sometimes, when they encountered a case of trauma injury, they didn’t know whether to treat it or not, which gave them a headache.
Now that Chu Fengqing had appeared, the two old imperial physicians felt like they had found a treasure. They were studious by nature, and many of the things he said were things they had never heard of before. In a moment, all four of their eyes were shining.
One of the old imperial physicians said directly: “It’s a pity that Madam is a woman. If you were a man, the Imperial Medical would have reserved a place for you.”
Chu Fengqing just smiled faintly. If the Chu family had not suffered this disaster, maybe he would have really taken the exam to work in the Imperial Medical.
Seeing that they were getting more and more excited, and the two old imperial physicians would have to adopt a goddaughter if they continued. Ji Yujin was unhappy. “What? Are you Imperial Medical’s people going to poach people from our Xichang?”
The two old imperial physicians were startled and suddenly remembered where they were.
Ji Yujin smiled brightly, but when he got angry, he was very harsh: “Why are you putting your eyes so close? Your old eyes are blurry, and you can’t even see a needle clearly? Do you want me to report to His Majesty and ask him to replace you all with a group of younger people?”
The two Imperial Physicians: “……”
Ji Yujin: “Do you still need me to escort you out the door?”
The old imperial physicians hurriedly said, “No need, no need, Lord Governor, just rest and recover. The old man will leave now.”
When he left, he did not forget to say to Chu Fengqing, “Madam, if you have any problems, you can come to my Imperial Medical.”
Chu Fengqing chuckled and nodded. “Thanks very much.”
Li Yu still wanted to watch the fun, but Ji Yujin gave him a look, and he could only slip away in shame.
After everyone had left, the room became quiet. Ji Yujin lay down on the bed as if he had resigned himself to his own efforts. His usually rosy lips were as pale as snow, and there was a faint hint of dark blue between his brows.
Chu Fengqing: “The sword is poisonous.”
Ji Yujin curled his lips and said, “Yes.”
The poison did not cause any reactions. If there had not been a slight abnormality in the color of the blood, even Chu Fengqing would have almost made a mistake. The two imperial physicians did not seem to notice anything either.
Chu Fengqing: “You can’t let anyone know?”
Ji Yujin: “Yes.”
Chu Fengqing: “This poison is a bit troublesome to cure.”
Ji Yujin was silent for a moment and did not respond to his question. Instead, he asked, “Did you really learn medical skills from your second brother?”
Chu Fengqing: “……”
“En.”
Ji Yujin opened his eyes, his vision clear, and the two of them tacitly kept silent.
After a long while, Ji Yujin said, “Alright.”
After a while, he said, “I have an antidote for this poison. Don’t tell anyone else.”
Chu Fengqing: “Alright.”
He didn’t know what Ji Yujin had done, he only knew that their organization was established not long ago and rose rapidly. In just one or two years, it surpassed the Dongchang1In case you guys forgot, it’s the Eastern Depot. and became the largest power institution in the court, with imperial power and enormous authority.
But this job seemed like a life-threatening one. He glanced at Ji Yujin’s naked upper body and saw mottled scars all over his muscles, some deep, some shallow, some new, some old. Did the scars all over his body make up for his crazy rise in the past two years?
Chu Fengqing withdrew his gaze and was about to get up when he heard the sound of even breathing.
In just a short moment, Ji Yujin fell into a deep sleep.
Chu Fengqing walked to his side and covered him with the quilt that was spread beside him.
Ji Yujin’s eyelashes trembled slightly. His sleeve passed in front of his face, and he smelled a pleasant smell in his nose, like the scent of grass in the snow, cold and gentle. Ji Yujin’s body stiffened slightly, then relaxed and slowly fell into a deep sleep.
He slept all night long. Ji Yujin occupied the master bedroom, and Chu Fengqing asked Steward Mo to arrange a guest room for him.
The next day, Ji Yujin woke up, thought about what happened last night, and reached out to grab the quilt covering him.
He kept his eyes open and thought for a long time. How long had it been since someone covered him with a quilt? But he couldn’t remember even after racking his brains. It might have been more than ten years ago, it was really a long time ago.
In his vague memory, there was also a fragrant breeze along with the flickering yellow candlelight. When he opened his eyes, he saw his mother smiling at him.
At breakfast.
Ji Yujin and Chu Fengqing looked at the two bowls of porridge on the table and looked at each other.
Chu Fengqing pursed his lips. It was chicken porridge yesterday, why did it become plain porridge today?
He looked at Steward Mo in confusion, and Steward Mo immediately betrayed his master, “The master said that husband and wife should share happiness and difficulties.”
Because the medicine Ji Yujin took could not be contaminated with oil, he could only drink clear porridge.
Alright, actually, Chu Fengqing specially prescribed this medicine to avenge him for not letting him eat before. He originally wanted to get back at him in front of him, but he never thought that this would actually backfire on him.
Ji Yujin was half lying on the bed and raised his eyebrows when he heard what Steward Mo said.
