Chapter 478 Feeding Medicine Personally
Chapter 478 Feeding Medicine Personally
After a few days of rest, Xiao Yu looked much better than before and no longer needed assistance to walk.
After a not-so-early breakfast, Su Lingyue sat with Xiao Yu in the living room to digest the food.
Ling Ling and Doctor Lu came over together and took Xiao Yu's pulse.
Doctor Lu was visibly happy to have his granddaughter by his side. He had been smiling since he entered the door, and his goatee was smoothed even more.
Doctor Lu took back his hand from Xiao Yu's wrist and nodded with satisfaction: "Your Highness has recovered very well in the past few days. As long as he is calm, the cold poison will not attack for a while."
Ling Ling casually bent down and put her hand on it, pressed her fingers, then retracted them, winking at Doctor Lu playfully, "Grandfather, do you want to become your granddaughter's apprentice and learn how to use poison as medicine?"
Doctor Lu thought about it and nodded in agreement. "There is no order of learning. The one who is more accomplished is the teacher. Xiao Ling'er's attainments in poison far exceed those of my grandfather. Naturally, I want to learn from Xiao Ling'er, but our generation is limited..."
Ling Ling suggested: "When my grandfather was learning from me, I was the master, and you are still my grandfather at other times. How do you think?"
Doctor Lu laughed and stroked his beard, looking proud as if he was a master. "Good, good! You are worthy of being my granddaughter."
The atmosphere was cheerful, and Xiao Yu couldn't help but smile as he looked at them.
Su Lingyue joked, "Uncle Lu, now that you have a granddaughter, you don't have to worry about anything. You smile more than before, and your complexion is especially good."
Doctor Lu looked at Ling Ling and smiled, "I have been wandering around for most of my life. I am so happy to have a granddaughter in my old age. This is a blessing from heaven."
Ling Ling agreed: "It's not destiny! I was ready to leave the capital and go to Jiangnan to look for him, but I didn't expect to run into my grandfather."
"Where is the letter I wrote to my grandmother?"
She has been away for so long, and I don’t know how her grandmother and parents are doing and whether they are worried about her.
She really wanted to take her grandfather back to see her grandmother right now, but the prince's illness was so...
The prince can only survive until the end of the year at most. When he dies, grandfather will have no reason to stay and he can go back to Cangxi Valley with her.
Ling Ling looked at Xiao Yu, compassion flashing in her eyes.
She took the medicine she brought from the lunch box and placed it on the table, saying, "Your Highness, drink this medicine while it's hot. I'll take Grandfather back to study toxicology first."
"Well, go ahead." Xiao Yu lowered his eyes and responded calmly.
He saw the compassion and regret in Ling Ling's eyes just now.
Even if the poison is alleviated, his life will still be limited.
All that’s missing is the other half of the spiritual fire grass.
Su Lingyue glanced at Xiao Yu's lowered eyes, picked up the medicine and sat down beside Xiao Yu.
"Hot pear juice."
"Miss, here it is. It's ready."
Caiyi brought over a cup of hot pear juice. Su Lingyue poured some into it, scooped a spoonful to her lips and took a sip. After making sure it was not so bitter, she handed it to Xiao Yu.
"Today's pear juice is made from fragrant pears from the Western Regions. Your Majesty, please try it. Do you like the taste?"
Xiao Yu took the medicine, looked at the black liquid with disgust, but finally scooped a spoonful and drank it with a frown.
Seeing him like this, Su Lingyue couldn't help but chuckle, "The prince is getting more and more spoiled. We need to prepare more snacks and fruits in the future."
Xiao Yu swallowed the medicine, then frowned and drank the rest of the medicine in one gulp, and then his brows relaxed.
Caiyi handed over some tea. Xiao Yu rinsed his mouth and his expression returned to normal. He said, "No need for snacks or fruit. If Yue'er feeds it to me personally, I can swallow the bitterest medicine."
Is this something their maids can listen to?
Before Xiao Yu chased everyone away, Caiyi pulled up Caidie, who was eavesdropping in the corner, and walked out of the hall carrying a tray.
Su Lingyue looked at Xiao Yu's lips, then pursed her lips, and based on their experience of kissing, she began to think about how to feed him the medicine.
Thinking of this, she puffed up her cheeks unconsciously, pouted her lips and winked at Xiao Yu.
Seeing her like this, Xiao Yu couldn't help but curl his lips, hooked his finger and said, "Come here."
"what happened?"
She stood up and walked to Xiao Yu. Xiao Yu held her hand and pulled her gently. Then she sat on Xiao Yu's lap and leaned on his shoulder.
Before she could react, Xiao Yu picked up the pear juice on the table, took a sip, and then kissed her.
After drinking the hot pear juice, Su Lingyue looked at the black eyes that were so close to her, smiling at her with such deep affection that it made her indulge in it.
Xiao Yu made sure that there was no more pear juice in her mouth before he left.
"Did Yue'er learn it?"
Su Lingyue was so nervous that she forgot to breathe. Now her face was red and she was breathing slowly. She nodded as if she understood something.
Looking at the moisture on her lips, Xiao Yu lowered his head and kissed her.
It was soft and sweet pear juice, and Xiao Yu took another bite.

Ling Ling and Doctor Lu returned to Baicao Garden and asked what was in their heart: "Grandfather, after the prince passes away, you will come with me back to Cangxi Valley to visit grandmother, father, and mother!"
Doctor Lu paused and stopped, feeling inexplicably uncomfortable.
He put away the smile on his face, turned around and met Ling Ling's doubtful gaze, and said seriously: "Xiao Ling'er, you can't say that anymore. Grandfather has a way to save the prince, but he is missing a medicine."
Ling Ling ignored Doctor Lu's reprimand and looked at him in disbelief with her almond-shaped eyes and asked, "Grandfather, can you really make an antidote for the Hundred Days Fever?"
Seeing his granddaughter's incredulous eyes, Doctor Lu's uncomfortable mood disappeared immediately, and he smiled and said, "Of course, you haven't asked your grandmother, is there any poison she gave that I can't cure?"
Doctor Lu looked at the clouds in the sky and sighed, "It was my fault that she left in anger. I didn't know how to coax a woman and only wanted to compete with her."
"She took out the poison that she had spent a month developing and put it on a servant in Cangxi Mountain. I reprimanded her for poisoning others and tried to find a way to cure the servant. Your grandmother was so ashamed and angry that she gave me the poison and left Cangxi Mountain."
Ling Ling chuckled, "But grandma said that you didn't taste the drug she put in the wine, so she won that round!"
Doctor Lu coughed lightly, looked away and said, "I...I trusted her, and she didn't say there would be another competition, so it doesn't count!"
"Grandfather, I feel like you and Grandmother haven't changed at all!"
Ling Ling patted Dr. Lu on the shoulder, having a feeling that even if the two met, it would be the same as before.

Yun Ting came back from outside and went to Furong Pavilion to find Xiao Yu.
Just as he walked to the door and was about to enter the hall, he was grabbed by Caidie who was guarding outside.
After just a glance, his body froze and he allowed the colorful butterfly to pull him away.
Although Xiao Yu's wide sleeves blocked the person in his arms, their heads were so close that he knew what they were doing without even thinking.
Under normal circumstances, Yun Ting should ask the maid to inform before entering Furong Pavilion.
But during this period of time, he could come and go freely anywhere in the mansion, so he forgot this rule.
Yunting stood there, his heart seemed to be in an icy lake, sinking little by little.
Looking at Yun Ting's cold face, Cai Yi asked in a low voice: "Guard Yun, is there something urgent? How about I knock on the door and inform you?"
"Yeah." Yun Ting responded indifferently.
Caidie looked at Yun Ting's cold face and knocked on the door gently, "Your Majesty, Guard Yun is here."
After a while, Xiao Yu's low voice came from inside, "Go to the study and wait."
Su Lingyue leaned on Xiao Yu's shoulder, breathing softly.
At this moment, the gloom on Xiao Yu's face had disappeared. The corners of his mouth were raised, and the tenderness in his eyes was about to overflow.
Su Lingyue asked in a low voice: "Why are you going to the study? Is there anything I can't listen to?"
Xiao Yu bit her soft lips again as punishment, "No one but your husband can see Yue'er in this state of arousal."
Su Lingyue lowered her eyes and felt the warm breath from Xiao Yu.
"Oh! Tell me if there is anything interesting, Your Majesty!"
Xiao Yu smiled dotingly: "How can there be such a curious little thing!"

In the study, Yun Ting told Xiao Yu everything that had happened.
Xiao Yu looked calm, and there was no sign of anything unusual on his pale face.
He said in a deep voice: "Let the beggars who receive food outside the palace every day spread the news."
"Yes!" Yun Ting looked at Xiao Yu and answered, then paused and asked, "Then can Zhao Xuan be trusted?"
Xiao Yu looked at him with pity, and said, "I read Zhao Xuan's exam essay ten years ago. He was not afraid of death when he wrote words like 'paving the way for the people, establishing a destiny for the people, and creating a prosperous and peaceful world.'"
Yun Ting recalled the conversation with Zhao Xuan and Zhao Xuan's firm gaze. He said no more, nodded and walked out.
