Gu Mang did not like to drink the medicine prescribed by Jiang Fuli.
The reason was simple, it was too spicy — Jiang Fuli actually prescribed an extremely spicy medicine that made people spit it out as soon as they drank it. She also said that the taste could not be changed, and that it would not work if it was changed.
Li Wei was very confused, "Didn't you say that fragrant medicine dissolves blood stasis? You should take sweet medicine when you're depressed. "
When Jiang Fuli heard what he said, her reaction was, "He doesn't know shit. He's a pharmacist, and I'm a pharmacist? "
Thus, a scene that could be seen every day in Xi He's mansion was Li Wei chasing after Gu Mang and begging him to drink the medicine. It was a mess, and it would not stop for at least an hour.
Mo Xi liked peace and quiet, and hated noise, so Li Wei would usually give Gu Mang medicine when Mo Xi was in court. But today, Gu Mang resisted fiercely. Li Wei and more than ten servants could not catch him. Instead, they were kicked in the chest by him, and the medicine jar was almost smashed.
Seeing that Gu Mang was about to run out of the courtyard, Li Wei shouted, "Catch him, catch him! Use the Bundling Rope! F * ck you! "He chased after him.
Gu Mang looked back as he ran, and suddenly hit a hard and hot 'wall' with a 'bang'.
"Ouch …" Gu Mang covered his aching forehead, raised his head, and met Mo Xi's deep black eyes, looking down at him coldly.
"What are you doing?" Mo Xi asked condescendingly.
Li Wei ran over, panting, and shouted, "My lord! My lord doesn't take medicine! "
Mo Xi had just returned from the morning court and his body was still covered in the cold air. He stared at Gu Mang silently for a while. Just as Gu Mang was about to flee, he grabbed Gu Mang's wrist.
As he stared at Gu Mang, he suddenly raised his hand and said in a low voice, "Li Wei."
"Yes, yes!"
"Give me the medicine bottle."
Gu Mang was dragged into the room. Mo Xi closed the door with his black leather boots and pressed Gu Mang against the wall. The room was dimly lit with bamboo curtains. Mo Xi's eyes glowed in the darkness. He stared at Gu Mang for a while, then suddenly gritted his teeth and said, "The good habits are all gone, but the bad habits are still the same."
In the past, Gu Mang had the same problem. He would rather be sick for a few more days than take medicine.
It was exactly the same as before!
Mo Xi still remembered when he went to see him at that time. He was moaning and curling up in the tent, wrapped in the quilt, revealing a tuft of soft black hair. Hearing someone come in, Gu Mang thought it was Lu Zhanxing. He didn't even open his eyes as he muttered, "Zhanxing, don't bring me medicine anymore. I don't f * cking want to drink it … I'm sick of the smell …"
The young Mo Xi walked to his side and put the steaming medicine on the table. Then he sat down beside his bed and said in a low voice, "It's me."
"Damn it." Gu Mang suddenly poked his head out of the quilt. His face was sleepy, and the high fever made his cheeks burn red. He said in a daze, "Why are you here?"
Mo Xi didn't answer. He only raised his hand and touched his face, saying, "Take medicine."
"I don't want to take it!" Gu Mang rolled his eyes and wanted to shrink back into the quilt, but Mo Xi dug him out.
Mo Xi said, "If you don't want to take it, then burn it."
"Burn it, burn it. When it's cooked, I can eat myself. Anyway, this medicine is too disgusting. I don't even want to touch it."
Mo Xi frowned and said, "Are you still a man …"
When Gu Mang heard this, he was unhappy. He suddenly turned around and opened his eyes wide. He mumbled, "You don't know whether I'm a man or not? Didn't you identify it when you slept with your brother? You little bastard, I, your brother, have served the country and the people. I'm already f * cking burned to this extent. It's fine if you don't clap for me and offer me flowers, but you actually question my gender, you little bastard … "
His mind wasn't clear to begin with. He was sniffing and mumbling, and all he said was nonsense.
When Mo Xi saw this, he felt distressed and amused. His dark eyes were deep and gentle as he looked at his senior who was curled up in the messy quilt.
Gu Mang's cheeks were red as he said, "It's easy for you to say that. You don't even know how bitter this dog medicine is …"
He was originally complaining. If his mind was clear, he would have said it in an arrogant and hooligan tone. But he wasn't in the right state at that time. His eyes were dazed and his lips were wet. When he opened and closed his mouth to reprimand Mo Xi, he didn't have any aura at all. Instead, there was only softness left.
At that time, Mo Xi had a feeling that if he said it out loud, Gu Mang would definitely explode from his illness and strangle him to death. He felt that Gu Mang was acting like a spoiled child.
This wishful thinking made his heart burn and itch.
He lowered his eyes and looked at his senior who was lying in the quilt with messy hair. His eyes didn't move away for a while. He just stared at Gu Mang's face and raised his hand to pick up the bowl of medicine on the table.
Gu Mang thought he was going to force the medicine down his throat and scolded angrily, "Mo Xi, get out of here! I said I won't drink it, so I won't drink it! I … "
The rest of his words were cut off in his mouth. His Junior Brother Mo had actually put the medicine in his mouth and then lowered his head to kiss him. The bitterness of the medicine spread in their mouths, but their senses were completely invaded by Mo Que's hot breath and the rough invasion of his tongue. Under such stimulation, Gu Mang actually felt like he had a hangover.
He opened his eyes wide. The medicine was very thick and there wasn't much of it, but Mo Xi kissed him at least ten times before he almost finished feeding him the medicine. At the last time, Gu Mang finally came back to his senses. He wanted to scold him for being a little crazy, but after feeding him the medicine, the rough tongue invaded his mouth invasively and violently stirred. There were even remnants of the medicine dripping down the side of Gu Mang's lips …
At that time, he was young and impetuous. His newborn love was so vigorous in his heart that he didn't fear anything. Even when his love was strong, he didn't care if someone opened the tent and saw it.
When Mo Xi let go of Gu Mang, the tip of his nose gently rubbed against his senior's cheek.
He stared at Gu Mang. His eyes were very deep and reflected the burning face beneath him. It was as if he wanted to build the world's most impregnable prison in his eyes and imprison this only reflection forever.
Mo Xi's voice was a little hoarse. He raised his hand and gently stroked Gu Mang's moist and swollen lips. His magnetic voice was low as he said, "Is it bitter? Why do I feel that … senior is so sweet? "
Gu Mang gritted his teeth and said, "I'm not candy! Sweet my ass! "
Mo Xi looked into his eyes. The distance between them was too close. When their eyelashes fluttered, they almost touched each other. Mo Xi said softly, "If you still refuse to drink the medicine and I find out, then I'll feed you like this every time. This way, you can't say that it's easy for me to talk. "
"…"
"The bitterness you're afraid of, I'll taste it with you."
Gu Mang rolled his eyes and said, "I'm afraid of bitterness? Haha, what a joke. Your Brother Gu Mang is afraid of bitterness? Hahaha … "
Mo Xi's response was a light touch on his forehead. Then he got up and raised his hand to wipe away the medicine stain on the corner of his lips.
Gu Mang narrowed his eyes and looked at him. After a while, he suddenly laughed evilly and said, "I realize that you're not really serious. Although you're boring, you have a lot of tricks up your sleeves. "
The young Mo Xi was, after all, thin-skinned. Although he still forced himself to remain calm, his ears were a little red.
Gu Mang said, "Whoever you marry in the future, it'll be the girl's fortune."
Mo Xi suddenly turned his head and glared at him.
At that time, he wanted to say to Gu Mang — No, if I have my eyes on someone, then it must be that person for the rest of my life. Whether it's in life or in death, whether it's in poverty or in wealth, I'll only follow in his footsteps. I only want him.
Do you understand?
But his lips moved. He didn't need to say anything to know that Gu Mang would give him a perfunctory answer. He would teach him some ear-piercing nonsense like "men are naturally romantic".
Gu Mang didn't understand. Some people's hearts couldn't be touched. They never knew how to play. They coldly guarded their pure feelings. They only had that little bit of personal feelings. In their lifetime, it was only enough to water one person.
Gu Mang had an abundance of emotions like mountains and rivers. He wouldn't understand.
At this moment, in the dimly lit room, Mo Mie stared at Gu Mang's blue eyes. Why was it that even after his bones and tendons were shattered and his soul extracted, he still refused to change this annoying habit of his?
Mo Xi said, "Open your mouth."
Gu Mang stared at him. It was obvious that he was refusing.
Mo Que pinched his chin and forced it down his throat, not giving him a chance to speak.
Gu Mang refused to let go at first, but Mo Xi was really mean. He directly covered Gu Mang's mouth and nose so that he couldn't breathe. When Gu Mang's face turned red and he struggled, he suddenly let go of his hand. Gu Mang immediately opened his mouth to gasp for breath. Mo Xi then pinched his chin and forced him to drink the medicine.
Gu Mang choked and coughed repeatedly. His eyes were red. He said hoarsely, "Why did you make me drink this?"
Mo Xi clenched his teeth and said eerily, "Because you're sick."
"…"
"In the future, when Li Wei gives you medicine, you'd better drink it obediently." Mo Xi said, "If you make a fuss again and I have to feed you, then force it down your throat."
After he finished speaking, he glanced at the medicine stain on Gu Mang's lips. "Wipe it clean yourself."
He strode out of the room without looking back.
After that, Gu Mang became much more obedient. After all, after Li Wei forced him to drink the medicine, he would give him a bowl of milk or a candy. However, Mo Xi didn't give him anything. He forced the medicine down his throat and looked at him strangely.
Gu Mang didn't understand the meaning of this gaze. He only felt a chill on the back of his neck.
After drinking the medicine for a while, Mo Xi took Gu Mang to the Jiang residence for a check-up three days before the end of the year ceremony.
Housekeeper Zhou of the Jiang residence led them into the main hall. In the luxurious hall, Jiang Fuli was talking to a middle-aged man. The man was wearing a purple sorcerer's robe with gold embroidery on the edges, indicating that he was of noble birth. However, the man's eyes were full of fatigue and his body was bent. He didn't look high-spirited at all.
There was a delicate girl beside the man. She was also wearing a purple robe with gold embroidery. She kept her head down and didn't speak. She was holding a small bamboo dragonfly in her hand. She looked obedient and cute.
When Mo Xi first saw this embarrassed noble, he didn't remember who he was. However, when he saw this little girl, Mo Xi realized —
This was Lord Changfeng and his crazy daughter.
When they walked in, Lord Changfeng was wiping the tears from the corners of his eyes and stammering his thanks to Jiang Fuli. Jiang Fuli said to him, "You can go back to the residence first. Your daughter is staying with me temporarily. I've received the money and will naturally take good care of her. You don't have to worry. "
"It's really … really troublesome, Pharmacist Jiang. The end of the year ceremony is in three days. I won't be in the capital. If Lan 'er is left alone at home, I won't be able to rest assured …"
"I've received money from others, so I'll take care of them. You didn't owe me anything. What's there to thank me for? "
Lord Changfeng stroked his daughter Lan 'er's head. He tried his best to put on a smile on his tired face. "Girl, Father will follow me to the ceremony in a few days. The journey will be bitter and cold, so I can't bring you along. You have to be good and stay in Master Jiang's residence. Don't cause trouble for the doctor, do you understand? "
Although Lan 'er was young, she had obviously been ostracized and bullied because of her illness. She was exceptionally sensible and obedient, as if she was constantly worried that she would be abandoned and bring harm to others. Therefore, her actions and words were gentle. "How long will Father be gone?"
"Very soon. Seven days at the latest. Father will come back to pick you up."
Lan 'er's eyes were a little watery, but she didn't say anything. She endured it and nodded.
Lord Changfeng thanked Jiang Fuli again. When he turned around, he saw Mo Xi and Gu Mang enter the residence. Probably because he was ostracized by the other nobles, this middle-aged man with gray hair was like a bird startled by the twang of a bow. With a fear that was completely different from his age and status, he lowered his head timidly. "Lord Xi He …"
Mo Xi couldn't bear to see him like this, but he wasn't good at expressing himself, so he only greeted him.
In his memories, Lord Changfeng had always been a very honest and dutiful person. It was precisely because he was too honest and stood aloof from worldly affairs that the influence of his noble bloodline gradually declined. In the end, even some of the ordinary cultivators in the imperial capital did not take him seriously.
After Lord Changfeng greeted Mo Xi, he raised his trembling gaze and looked at Gu Mang.
At this moment, Mo Xi had also moved his gaze away and looked at Xiao Lan 'er who was standing beside Jiang Fuli.
Probably sensing that the other party was looking at the patient they brought over, the two of them almost simultaneously used a protective tone. Mo Xi said, "She's not in danger."
Lord Changfeng said, "She's not in danger."
The two of them fell into a short, awkward silence.
Finally, Mo Xi said, "I understand. You don't have to worry."
These days, Lord Changfeng had to explain his daughter's illness to everyone wherever he went. He also had to beg the nobles not to expel his daughter from the academy and destroy her spirit nucleus. He had suffered too much humiliation. When he suddenly heard Lord Xi's rather benevolent tone, his heart ached and he was about to cry.
He hurriedly bowed his head and thanked Mo Xi. Then, he looked back at Lan 'er. He was worried that the longer he stayed, the more reluctant he would be to leave his daughter. Thus, he turned and left the residence.
Jiang Fuli took Gu Mang's pulse and adjusted the prescription again. Then, she stood up and looked at Gu Mang and Xiao Lan 'er. She said, "Lord Xi He, let's talk in the backyard."
Mo Xi frowned. "Leave them here?"
Steward Zhou smiled. "Lord Xi He, don't worry. I'll be here watching. Nothing will happen."
"If my patient can cause any trouble in my residence, I don't need to open this clinic anymore." As Jiang Fuli spoke, she glanced at the black bracelet on Gu Mang's neck. Her words were full of disdain for such things. "Moreover, isn't Gu Mang still wearing the slave locking bracelet that Lord Xi He gave him?"
In fact, Mo Xi knew that the Jiang Residence was as well-protected as the Yue Residence. Nothing would happen in such a short time.
However, he felt an inexplicable sense of uneasiness and anxiety when Gu Mang left his sight. This feeling did not lessen after spending time with Gu Mang. Instead, it became more and more paranoid and intense.
If this continued, Gu Mang would not be the only one who would come to Jiang Fuli for treatment. He would have to prescribe medicine himself.
There were many exotic flowers and trees planted in the backyard of the Jiang Residence. Spiritual energy flowed throughout the year and the flowers bloomed all year round.
Jiang Fuli and Mo Xi chatted as they walked along the winding corridor. Jiang Fuli said, "The day after tomorrow is the end of the year festival. You pure-blooded nobles will have to follow the Lord to summon the Soul Pool."
Mo Xi nodded. "It's an annual practice."
"Lord Changfeng entrusted his daughter to me. What about you? What do you plan to do?"
"Gu Mang is too dangerous. I'll report to the Lord and bring him along."
Jiang Fuli said, "I think you'll have the same answer. However, I have something to tell you. " He stopped and turned around in the shadows of the clouds with his hands behind his back. "Gu Mang's pulse is stable and he's recovering. You have to be careful on the way to summon the Soul Pool. He'll definitely remember some fragments in five days or a month. "
Mo Xi's heart trembled. He clenched his fists.
"I'll give you seven more prescriptions and try to delay it until he returns to the city. If his memory is not good for Chong Hua, you can lock it down in time. " Jiang Fuli said, "However, things are unpredictable. Lord Xi He, his first memory recovery will happen soon. You have to be prepared."
