A life of ups and downs is pure joy

Chapter 277: Good medicine tastes bitter?

Xiao Qiannan kept muttering some unpleasant words and jumped off the beautifully decorated carriage with an angry look on his face.

Then she quickly turned around, reached out to support Lin Mo who was about to get off the car, and carefully helped him to the ground.

At this time, Jia Xu on the side frowned and complained unhappily.

"This young prince of Dayan is truly unpredictable. Just a moment ago, he was so cheerful and amiable, yet who could have imagined his expression would suddenly turn sour, faster than turning the pages of a book! Furthermore, his moody nature is just like my former brother-in-law's."

Having said that, Jia Xu couldn't help but shook his head helplessly.

However, after hearing this, Xiao Qiannan immediately widened her eyes, glared at Jia Xu, and retorted bluntly.

"Hmph! Stop talking nonsense here. I'm a much better person than him! At least I'm a reasonable person, not like him who's so inexplicable!"

After saying that, Xiao Qiannan put her hands on her hips, looking indignant.

"It's really strange. How could he act like this? I didn't think this through."

Ning Sijue knew this young prince quite well. Although he was somewhat arrogant and domineering, he was not an unreasonable person. There must be something fishy going on.

Xiao Fan also frowned, and looked up and stared at Xiao Qiannan who was still chattering.

"Nan'er just recognized him wrongly, and he didn't even bother with that loss of composure. Why did the young prince's expression change so suddenly when he mentioned missing his brother?"

"Yeah, they are brothers, not concubines, so why do you have to put on such a sour face, as if I stole some rare treasure from him."

Xiao Qiannan thought for a moment and continued.

"Could it be that there's some rift between him and my second brother that's causing their relationship to be strained? Could it be like the tension between my sixth brother and the third prince?"

After she finished speaking, she cast her curious gaze towards Ning Sijue, who was silent beside her, and asked, "Sixth brother, what do you think?"

However, before Ning Sijue could answer, Xiao Fan suddenly reached out, gently patted Xiao Qiannan's shoulder, and scolded in a low voice.

"Little sister, be careful with your words! There are some things you can't say carelessly."

After being slapped and scolded by her brother, Xiao Qiannan suddenly felt a little aggrieved, but still muttered in retort.

"There are no outsiders here, and what I said is not groundless."

Despite this, seeing her brother's serious expression, she didn't dare to say anything more.

At this time, Lin Mo, who had been standing silently by the side, suddenly lowered his voice and spoke.

"Right now, this young prince seems to be deliberately stalling for time, but there are patients in Yinan anxiously awaiting treatment. What should we do?"

As he spoke, he looked around nervously, afraid that others would hear their conversation.

"This matter still needs to be considered in detail. Let's go back to the hospital first."

Ning Sijue said very cautiously that he already knew about the people sent by Gong Kou Shi to keep an eye on him.

The night was as dark as ink, and everything was silent, but the candlelight in the Hehuan Hall was still flickering, illuminating the entire palace.

Gong Heyu, dressed in finery, sat at his desk, intently reviewing a mountain of documents. His gaze was sometimes solemn, sometimes relaxed, as his red brush in hand continuously annotated the memorials.

Seeing this, Su Jin, who was standing by, gently took the candlestick from the maid Wan Dong, carefully picked up another bright lamp, and gently placed it on the corner of the table, adding a bit of warmth and light to the late night.

Looking at the thick stack of memorials in front of him, Su Jin couldn't help but sigh.

"I didn't expect being the ruler of a country would be so tiring."

There was a hint of heartache and helplessness in his words.

Hearing her sigh, Gong Heyu slowly raised his head, gazed at Su Jin tenderly, and smiled slightly, saying, "With you by my side, I feel much more relaxed than before."

Su Jin felt a sweet feeling in her heart when she heard this, and suddenly the memory of him mentioning his sore neck at the hunting ground flashed through her mind.

So, she walked lightly behind Gong Heyu and said softly, "Then I will massage your neck for you."

As she spoke, a pair of jade hands gently fell on Gong Heyu's broad shoulders and began to massage them gently.

Just when Su Jin was happily wanting to play the role of a good wife and mother, Wan Dong walked into the room with small steps, holding a bowl of steaming medicine.

Seeing this, Su Jin couldn't help but frown, rolled his eyes, and asked in a bad mood.

"Who is this drink for?"

Wan Dong looked at Su Jin's pitiful appearance and finally couldn't help laughing. She pursed her lips slightly and said coquettishly.

"Master, you have to ask this question every day."

After saying that, he shook his head slightly.

At this moment, Su Jin was feeling dizzy and uncomfortable in her stomach due to the strong and pungent smell of the medicine.

She bit her lips tightly, her face was as pale as paper, and a layer of fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.

Just when she was about to vomit, Su Jin suddenly seemed to have grabbed a life-saving straw. She quickly stretched out her hands and tightly hugged Gong Heyu's neck, and pressed her whole body against him.

At the same time, she kept acting coquettishly.

"Husband, I really don't want to drink this bitter medicine anymore! It's even harder to swallow than Coptis chinensis! Please..."

Gong Heyu, who had been busy dealing with documents, slowly raised his head after hearing Su Jin's words.

He glanced tenderly at the person holding him behind him, then patted her head gently to comfort her.

Then he put down the documents in his hand, stood up, stretched out his hand in the direction of Wandong, and motioned her to hand over the medicine in her hand.

After Wan Dong carefully handed the bowl full of medicine to Gong Heyu, he waved his hand and let him leave first.

"Even if you coax me, I won't drink!"

Su Jin covered her mouth tightly and glared at the man who was slowly walking towards her with the medicine in annoyance.

At this moment, in her eyes, this usually gentle and handsome man was like the terrible Poison Queen in the fairy tale, and she seemed to have become the pitiful and helpless Snow White.

Gong Heyu smiled and coaxed her softly.

"Be good, come here first."

However, such words had no effect on Su Jin, who was full of resistance at the moment.

Recalling the scene when she was first given a new medicine prescription as a child, Gong Heyu couldn't help but laugh.

Huan'er was also so stubborn and willful at that time, but in the blink of an eye, the silly little girl has grown into a graceful young lady.

But his temper hasn't changed at all.

"I won't listen! You know I can't stand your coaxing!"

Su Jin turned his head away, muttering to himself.

In fact, she knew very well in her heart that how could she resist the sweet words and tender affection of this extremely handsome man in front of her?

But he still refused to give in.

Gong Heyu shook his head helplessly, gently put down the medicine in his hand, then carefully stretched out his hands and gently pulled Su Jin into his arms.

He leaned down to her ear and explained softly.

"Huan'er, you injured yourself when you fell into the water, and you've developed a very serious illness. These past few days, in order to prepare an effective prescription for you, I've searched high and low, trying countless medicinal herbs, and finally I got this recipe."

Hearing this, Su Jin couldn't help but mutter.

"But...but I really don't feel any discomfort. I eat well and sleep well every day. I even drank a lot of apricot blossom wine yesterday."

As she spoke, she raised her head and stared straight at Gong Heyu with her big watery eyes, as if trying to find a flaw in his face.

Su Jin pouted, her eyes slightly red, and her aggrieved look was so adorable.

Her big, resentful eyes, like a pitiful pug, reveal endless cuteness and adorableness.

Gong Heyu raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and gazed at the lovable woman in front of him with affection.

He leaned down gently, put his lips close to Su Jin's ear, and asked softly in a low and magnetic voice.

"Huan'er, do you want to give birth to a little Huan'er for me?"
