Hearing Qin Min's words, Gu Beiyue's quiet face showed some helplessness. He seemed to want to say something, but in the end, he only sighed softly and waved the whip to drive the carriage.
Qin Min did not hear Gu Beiyue's sigh. She did not wait for a reply and did not know if Gu Beiyue heard her and accepted her apology and promise, or if he did not hear her.
She wanted to say it again, but on second thought, the surroundings were so quiet and her voice was not soft. The two of them were separated by a curtain, so there was no reason for him not to hear it.
She quietly sat back in the car and didn't say anything else.
Finally, she was left alone in the carriage. She could sit and lie as comfortably as she wanted. However, she only lazily lay on the high pillow and did not feel sleepy at all.
She lowered her head and seemed to be in a daze. No one knew what she was thinking.
After a long time, she muttered, "There really won't be a next time."
She secretly looked out of the window. It was the wilderness outside and the night was quiet. She secretly lifted a corner of the curtain and saw Gu Beiyue's back view. The carriage was moving very fast. The wind that came from the front raised his sleeves and robes, as well as his long hair.
She originally only wanted to take a look and obediently go to sleep. However, the road ahead was long and dark. She stared and stared and stared blankly.
How great would it be if this path could go on and on and on and on without end!
Gu Beiyue, how long is the longest road in the world?
How long do you and I have in this lifetime?
She was really afraid that it would be too late in a few decades.
However, she did not know what she could do in time.
Qin Min raised her head and looked at the bright moon in the sky. She suddenly felt very lucky. She was lucky that her legs were crippled since young and not her eyes. Otherwise, she would have missed out on so many years of moonlight!
She had seen countless sceneries, but after meeting Gu Beiyue, she realized that the most beautiful scenery in the world was the moon. It was the eternal, quiet and gentle bright moon in the sky.
Qin Min gently closed the curtain and leaned to the side, sleeping peacefully.
The next day, when Qin Min woke up, it was already noon. The carriage drove into the county and the surroundings were bustling.
She raised the curtain and found them in the street.
Gu Beiyue asked as he drove, "Miss Qin, did you sleep well last night?"
"You haven't rested yet?" Qin Min asked seriously.
She had calculated the distance last night. They would arrive at a village early this morning, and Gu Beiyue would be able to rest. Who would have thought that he would pass through the village and rush to the county?
After another sleepless night, how could his body take it?
From Yunning to Northern Li, he had stayed in Northern Li for a few days. Plus, he had been on the road for the past two days. He hadn't soaked in medicinal soup for about a month and a half!
She didn't know what kind of medicinal soup he used, but no matter what kind of prescription it was, it had to be soaked at least once a month.
Soaking in the medicinal soup was not only to nourish the body, but it was also a good opportunity to rest. Both the body and the mind could be relaxed and recuperated.
Medicinal therapy was not as good as food therapy, and food therapy was not as good as heart therapy! He wasn't talking about treatment, but about normal recuperation. If he was sick, the best way to treat him was to combine medical treatment with mental treatment.
In Gu Beiyue's case, soaking in medicinal soup was the most suitable.
"The situation at Medical City is urgent, and we can't afford any delays. You can rest and eat at the inn in front. I'll go prepare some dry food. We won't be able to rest on the way, "Gu Beiyue said lightly.
"No!" Qin Min blurted out. It would take at least half a month to get to Medical City from here!
Gu Beiyue was shocked and instinctively turned to look at Qin Min. In his memory, she had never spoken so loudly before.
"Eldest Miss Qin, is there any inconvenience?" Gu Beiyue asked seriously.
Qin Min originally wanted to say that she was soaking in the medicinal soup, but on second thought, Gu Beiyue would definitely find an excuse to refuse if she said that.
She said, "It's … it's not convenient for me. I have to drink medicine, and that medicine will take at least six hours to brew. I also have to buy some things to use. Otherwise, it will be inconvenient for me on the way. "
Gu Beiyue frowned and asked, "What's wrong?"
Qin Min stole a glance at him and lowered her head. She was clearly guilty, but in Gu Beiyue's eyes, she was shy.
A complicated look flashed past Gu Beiyue's eyes, but he didn't continue asking. Other than his grandfather, he had never admired anyone else's medical skills. Qin Min was the first. Qin Min's complexion wasn't bad, so it shouldn't be anything serious. She should be able to deal with it herself. If he guessed correctly, it was probably something that women encountered every month.
Qin Min's tactful words meant exactly that. Many women would drink some medicine to nourish themselves when it was inconvenient. She thought that this reason should be able to fool Gu Beiyue.
However, to her surprise, not only did Gu Beiyue compromise, he even said, "Your health is more important. Stay at the inn tonight. Take your time, there's no rush."
"Just one night. We can leave tomorrow morning," Qin Min hurriedly added.
Once they arrived at the inn, Qin Min really wrote down a prescription and went to get the medicine. Gu Beiyue took the prescription and glanced at it. He knew what to do.
He said, "Eldest Miss Qin, go eat first. Leave this to this one. "
"Then I'll have to trouble Grand Tutor Gu," Qin Min said.
For a moment, Gu Beiyue wasn't used to it. If she wasn't calling him "Esteemed Academy Head", then "Academy Head Beiyue." This was the first time she'd called him Grand Tutor.
Qin Min smiled. "Grand Tutor Gu, I hope that after this trip, there won't be a medical academy anymore, and that you'll no longer be the esteemed academy head."
Gu Beiyue smiled as well. "I hope Eldest Miss Qin's auspicious words are fulfilled."
Gu Beiyue was about to leave when Qin Min called him back. "Grand Tutor Gu, you haven't had time to soak in your medicinal decoctions since leaving Tianning. Since you can't leave today, why don't you … "
Before she could finish, Gu Beiyue cut her off. "Eldest Miss Qin, two guards will be arriving later. They're both reliable men. They'll escort you to Medical City. It won't be too late for you to leave after you've recovered. I'll prepare some dry rations and leave in a bit. "
Qin Min was stupefied. It was as if a basin of cold water had been poured over her head. She only felt a chill spread from the top of her head to her feet, then from her skin to her heart.
It was so cold that she didn't know what to do. She stared blankly at Gu Beiyue, not knowing what to say.
"Sky Room Number One."
Gu Beiyue handed the room card to her. She reflexively reached out to take it, but he turned and left.
Gu Beiyue had already disappeared, but Qin Min was still standing there in a daze. A few passersby bumped into her a few times, but she didn't move at all.
Seeing this, the innkeeper hurried over to ask, "Is this young miss staying in Sky Room Number One? This little one will take you up. "
It was only then that Qin Min regained her senses. She looked at the waiter and her eyes suddenly turned red.
"Young miss, are … are you alright?" The innkeeper was frightened.
The Sky Room was the best room in the entire inn. That white-robed gentleman had spent a large sum of money to reserve all the rooms, which was equivalent to the entire third floor. This young miss was traveling with him, so her identity must be extraordinary. He was really afraid that he wouldn't serve her well.
Qin Min stared at him blankly for a long time before she finally said, "I'm fine. I'm just … hungry!"
You can cry even when you're hungry?
The innkeeper was extremely curious and hurriedly comforted her, "Young miss, don't cry. What do you want to eat? This little one will immediately get the kitchen to prepare it. "
"Since when did I cry?" Qin Min looked serious.
That's right, her eyes were just red. Since when did she cry?
"No, no, this little one's eyes are bad!" The innkeeper hurriedly brought over the menu and tried to change the topic. "Young miss, what would you like to eat? Would you like to eat in the hall, or … this little one will send it to your room? "
Qin Min looked at the menu and actually ordered a table full of dishes. "Send it to my room. I want it hot!"
After she finished speaking, she went upstairs. The innkeeper heaved a sigh of relief and hurriedly got the kitchen to prepare it.
Soon, a table full of delicacies was placed in front of Qin Min. She took a glance and rolled up her sleeves, gorging herself on the food.
Qin Min fed herself until she was full. Suddenly, she felt like she had regained her strength. She was afraid that Gu Beiyue would not be able to find her when he returned, so she left a few words with the innkeeper before leaving. She went to buy her own things and food.
The moment Qin Min returned, she saw Gu Beiyue waiting for her at the door. He had changed his clothes, but he was still wearing white. He must have taken care of everything and cleaned himself up.
Seeing Qin Min carrying a pile of things, Gu Beiyue strode over to help her.
Qin Min threw everything to him. Just as she was about to speak, Gu Beiyue spoke first, "Eldest Miss Qin, don't go out alone in an unfamiliar place in the future. It's dangerous. "
She didn't know if he was thinking about the incident in the teahouse in Ningzhou City, but she remembered. Thinking about his anger that day and how he had said that he would spare her life, her heart warmed.
She said, "Thank you, Grand Tutor Gu. I'll remember it."
"I've already instructed the kitchen to boil the medicine. It will be sent to your room later," Gu Beiyue said.
Qin Min nodded and asked, "Grand Tutor Gu, are you leaving?"
"I'll leave when the guards arrive."
Gu Beiyue put down Qin Min's things and was about to leave. Qin Min asked, "Grand Tutor Gu, are you hungry?"
"I'm not hungry," he said indifferently. "I'll be right outside the door. Eldest Miss Qin, if you need anything, you can just shout."
Qin Min opened the things in the package and smiled faintly. "If Grand Tutor Gu isn't hungry, let's set off. I've already prepared the food. You don't have to rest on the way. "
Gu Beiyue was slightly startled. Qin Min continued, "Grand Tutor Gu is seriously ill, but you're still busy with Medical City's matters. I'm just a small matter and shouldn't be delayed. If I don't return to the Qin family, Grand Tutor Gu might not be able to do anything. "
"It's okay if you're delayed for a day or two," Gu Beiyue advised.
"No! Qin Min feels guilty and uneasy. "As Qin Min spoke, she clutched her stomach and sat down, pretending to be in pain.
Gu Beiyue wanted to take her pulse, but Qin Min stopped him. "It's just a small matter. It's not an illness."
She stood up. "Grand Tutor Gu, let's go."
Gu Beiyue frowned, but he didn't hesitate for long. He said, "Eldest Miss Qin, hurry and sit down. Drink the medicine and we'll leave tomorrow morning. "
At this moment, Qin Min almost jumped up. She succeeded!
However, she still lowered her eyes and said seriously, "No, you can't be delayed because of me."
"It's fine. Your health is more important. "Gu Beiyue comforted her gently.
Qin Min still shook her head. "No …"
A hint of helplessness flashed past Gu Beiyue's eyes, but he still smiled faintly and said, "Eldest Miss Qin, it's time for me to soak in the medicinal soup. Today's delay isn't because of you."
Qin Min's eyes were full of smiles, but she didn't dare to laugh.
She said, "Grand Tutor Gu, can you let me take a look at the prescription?"
Gu Beiyue really wrote down the prescription and sent the waiter to get the herbs and boil them into a large tub.
He soaked in the steaming medicinal soup and sighed heavily before raising his head and closing his eyes. He really didn't understand Qin Min's intentions at first, but when Qin Min pretended to be in pain and sat down, he understood everything. She was deliberately looking for an opportunity to make him soak in the medicinal soup.
Once again, he could not help but ask himself if marrying Qin Min was the only and biggest mistake he had made in his life.
