Gu Beiyue was soaking in the medicinal soup. The soup was not full enough to reach his chest. He was thin but refined. His chest was firm and well-defined. Although he was a pot of medicine, he did not look sickly. Perhaps it had something to do with the fact that he had been practicing martial arts since he was young. His figure, hidden under his white clothes, was unimaginably good.
He was originally looking at the ceiling in deep thought, but for some reason, he fell asleep unknowingly.
If it were any other time, he would have buried his head in a pile of letters. If he was not busy, he would have stayed up late for another two to four hours. He would not sleep, nor could he sleep. He clearly did not relax, but the steam from the medicinal soup and the smell of the herbs made his body slowly relax. Gradually, his heart also relaxed. In this familiar temperature and smell, everything seemed to become familiar. He seemed to have returned to the time when he was young and soaked in medicinal soup every day.
His body and mind did not regress to that time. Instead, he was like a bystander, watching the child soak in the medicinal soup gradually become a teenager and gradually grow up.
His gentle eyes unconsciously revealed a look of pity. He had pitied countless people, but this was the first time he pitied himself.
From a bystander's point of view, he pitied himself in the past. What kind of maturity was this?
He was immersed in the familiar past until the waiter came in with a warm bowl of medicinal soup. Only then did he wake up.
The waiter added hot medicinal soup into the large bathtub. With an ambiguous expression, he said with a smile, "Young Master, who is that lady at the door to you? She has been waiting outside for a long time. "
Gu Beiyue immediately looked up, but did not say a word. The waiter thought that he had said something wrong and did not dare to ask again. He quickly avoided Gu Beiyue's gaze and continued to pour the medicinal soup.
After a while, Gu Beiyue finally opened his mouth and said lightly, "She is my wife."
The waiter's ambiguous tone made him have to admit it. Otherwise, how would a lady like Qin Min be thought of if she waited outside?
"My eyes are bad! My eyes are bad! " The waiter was very surprised and nodded repeatedly. However, he was puzzled. Since these two were husband and wife, why did they have to live in separate rooms?
This young master lived in Sky Room No. 2, while that madam lived in Sky Room No. 1.
Gu Beiyue saw the waiter's suspicious look and immediately thought of this. He explained, "We had a quarrel yesterday, so she's angry."
The waiter laughed and was no longer curious.
If it weren't for Gu Beiyue's intelligence and observation, and if it weren't for the waiter's talkative nature, Gu Beiyue wouldn't have to explain so much.
When people who were too smart or too deep stayed with people who were too simple, it was destined that the smart ones would be more tired.
What else did the waiter think Gu Beiyue would say? But after meeting Gu Beiyue, he didn't say anything. He waited for a while, then turned to leave. However, just as he was about to open the door, he turned back and whispered, "Young Master, when you went out just now, Madam cried."
Gu Beiyue, who had been silent, suddenly sat up. He frowned and asked seriously, "What happened?"
The waiter thought that Madam was crying because of a quarrel, but seeing Gu Beiyue's reaction, he knew that something was wrong.
He hurriedly explained, "I don't know either. After you went out, Madam just stood there without moving. She, she … she seemed to be bewitched. She didn't move away even after being hit twice. I … "
"Did you hit her?" Gu Beiyue anxiously interrupted.
"No, no! She just hit her shoulder. It's nothing serious, "the waiter hurriedly explained.
"Then why did she cry?" Gu Beiyue asked seriously. Based on his understanding of Qin Min, although Qin Min was born as the eldest daughter of the Qin family, she wasn't weak and wouldn't cry like this.
"I don't know either. I was afraid that she was hurt, so I went over to take a look and saw that Madam was crying. She said that she was hungry, so she ordered a table of dishes. After that, she went out, "the waiter answered honestly.
Gu Beiyue didn't ask any more questions after the waiter's words. His face was solemn as he silently waved his hand, indicating for the waiter to leave.
Qin Min had been standing in the courtyard at the entrance. Seeing the waiter open the door and come out, she wasn't anxious. She waited patiently for the waiter to close the door and come down. Only then did she smile at the waiter and beckoned for him to come over.
Compared to facing Gu Beiyue, the waiter was more afraid of Qin Min. He couldn't understand how this madam could smile at him so beautifully when she was crying just now.
Yes, this madam's smile was much brighter than other people's laughter.
The waiter walked over fearfully. "Madam, what can I do for you?"
"Is he asleep?" Qin Min asked in a low voice.
The waiter shook his head at first, but he quickly shook it again.
"What do you mean?" Qin Min became serious.
"He was originally asleep, but I woke him up when I went in. But later, he fell asleep again." The waiter could only explain it this way. He was afraid that if he said that the young master wasn't asleep, this madam would order him to do something.
However, Qin Min didn't ask anything else, nor did she say anything else. She only wanted to know if he had truly relaxed and rested.
She thought that as long as he could sleep, there shouldn't be a problem.
Qin Min was happy and rewarded the waiter with an ingot of silver. This made the waiter extremely happy.
"Remember to come back later to change the medicinal soup. Don't delay too long, or you'll catch a cold easily." She instructed seriously.
"Yes, yes! I'm guarding it! I'm also guarding Madam's medicine! "
Qin Min sensed that something was wrong after the waiter said that. She asked, "Who told you to call me madam?"
This young man had just called her a young lady, but after going in for a while, he had become "madam".
"Young Master said so," the waiter answered.
Qin Min's eyes lit up. She stood up and looked at the waiter thoughtfully. The waiter immediately realized that he seemed to have said something wrong again. He felt guilty. "Madam, the medicine is still simmering on the stove. I'll go take a look!"
However, Qin Min walked in front of him. Her sweet smile was a little silly. She asked, "He just woke up?"
"I went in to change the medicinal soup and accidentally woke him up." The waiter could only confess honestly.
"Did he mention me?" Qin Min asked again.
The waiter couldn't take it anymore and could only tell the truth. "Just now, I was too talkative and said that you were waiting outside." Qin Min frowned. She didn't want Gu Beiyue to know about this.
"What did he say?" Qin Min continued to ask.
This way of getting to the bottom of things made the waiter unable to brush her off, so he told her the truth.
"Young Master said that you were madam."
Qin Min looked at the tightly shut door and was a little stunned. Of course, she knew that he didn't want her to be the subject of ridicule.
She sighed softly in her heart. "Why do you have to be so tired?"
The waiter sneaked away, and Qin Min didn't pursue the matter. The waiter told Gu Beiyue that she was crying, but she didn't know about it.
In the waiter's opinion, if her eyes were filled with tears and she was crying again, then she was crying!
However, in her opinion, if the tears didn't fall out of her eyes, then she wasn't crying!
Even if Gu Beiyue knew that she was at the door, she still guarded the door. She had to keep an eye on the waiter to see if he changed the water on time. Otherwise, if he caught a cold and caught a cold, then this hard-earned medicinal bath wouldn't be worth it.
As she waited, she pondered over Gu Beiyue's prescription.
Although she studied medicine, she was familiar with pharmacology. Unfortunately, she couldn't understand this prescription even after looking at it for a long time.
The last time she took Gu Beiyue's pulse, she diagnosed that he had an illness that he had since he was young. It affected his lungs and exhausted his heart and kidneys. Based on this prescription, it was indeed a medicine that could cure his illness. However, she couldn't understand the use of several herbs.
She hesitated for a long time and finally returned to her room. She secretly made a copy of the prescription and stayed there to slowly ponder over it.
Actually, her first thought was to consult Mu Ling'er or Gu. However, after thinking about it seriously, she dispelled this thought.
After all, this was Gu Beiyue's privacy. The only thing she could do was to urge him to take medicinal baths more often.
After a while, the waiter brought over a bowl of black medicinal soup.
Qin Min didn't want to drink it at first. She didn't really need this medicine. Moreover, most of the time, she didn't like to drink medicine. She preferred acupuncture. The medicine was bitter, and she was afraid.
She was about to throw the medicine away, but she seemed to have thought of something. She smiled to herself, as if she was entertaining herself, and drank the bitter medicine in big gulps!
Elsewhere, the hot medicine drove away the cold of the night. Qin Min only felt her whole body warming up.
She moved a chair over and placed it by Gu Beiyue's door. Holding a lantern, she stepped on it.
The waiter happened to bring the hot medicinal soup over and was shocked when he saw this. "Madam, Madam!"
"Shh!" Qin Min stood on the high chair and looked back with a fierce look. "If you wake him up, I'll ask you!"
The waiter walked closer and advised anxiously, "Madam, what are you doing? If it falls … our small shop can't afford to pay for it! "
Qin Min ignored him. She tiptoed and hung the lantern on it. Then, she jumped down nimbly.
The waiter looked at the hanging lantern and then looked at Qin Min. It was really unbelievable. He never thought that such a weak woman could actually do a man's work.
"Go in, the soup is going to get cold!" Qin Min urged.
The waiter didn't know what was wrong with him. He suddenly trembled and hurried in.
Inside the room, Gu Beiyue's eyes were closed. It wasn't clear if he was really asleep or just pretending to sleep. The waiter didn't dare to say more. He changed the medicinal soup and hurried out.
When he arrived at the door, he was shocked by Qin Min again.
He saw Qin Min sitting by the door with her back against the wall and reading a medical book seriously. Her serious look made him not dare to disturb her. He couldn't bear to disturb her.
After three o 'clock, the waiter brought in clean hot water. Gu Beiyue's medicinal bath was over. Qin Min stretched lazily but didn't stay for long. She simply went back to her room without making a sound and fell asleep as soon as she laid down.
The next day, she woke up very early again.
However, after waiting for a long time, Gu Beiyue still didn't come out. She knocked a few times and asked softly, "Grand Tutor Gu, are you awake?"
Gu Beiyue was already awake and was flipping through a few letters. He clearly heard Qin Min's voice, but he was indifferent.
Qin Min knocked a few times but didn't get any response. She just thought that Gu Beiyue was still asleep. She didn't dare to disturb him. She would be happiest if he could rest for a while more. She went back to her room and continued to sleep.
She originally thought that Gu Beiyue would wake her up when he woke up, but who knew that she would sleep in a daze until noon. When she woke up, Gu Beiyue had just packed up and left. When she saw him, she secretly heaved a sigh of relief and didn't say anything.
"Eldest Miss Qin, are you feeling better?" Gu Beiyue asked.
"Much better. We can set off now," Qin Min said with a smile.
The two of them only exchanged a few words before continuing their journey west. They didn't talk much along the way. They really didn't waste any more time and went straight to Medical City.
