Chapter 1759: Chapter 1756: Candy

After entering the door, they were ushered in by servants who had been waiting.

The position in the backyard is specially reserved for patients to recuperate, and Lu Sangqi did not return to the mansion but stayed at the medical clinic.

As soon as she walked in, she smelled the strong scent of medicine.

Just after entering the room, she saw the figure of Lu Sangqi, lying on the bed. His cheeks had several smudges, and his body was wrapped in bandages. Because he was wearing loose clothing, only a little bit of the injuries could be seen.

Ye Muyu walked over, took a look, and couldn’t help but click her tongue twice: “I say, who on earth did you offend to end up in such a miserable state?”

“Who else could it be? Isn’t it those lunatics from the Southern Border?” Lu Sangqi was awake at the moment and, upon hearing Ye Muyu’s words, couldn’t help rolling his eyes, which pulled at the corner of his mouth, causing him to take a sharp breath in pain.

“What exactly happened?” Liuye had already found a chair, placed it by the bed, and Ye Muyu sat down with a quite serious expression, asking.

Meanwhile, Su Mei and Liuye stood at the door and outside the room respectively, blocking others from entering to disturb the two of them from talking.

Lu Sangqi reached out to touch his mouth and could still feel bloodstains. With purplish bruises at the corner of his mouth, speaking for a while would cause blood to seep out: “It’s nothing serious, just that the Sacred Girl of Southern Border thinks my medical skills are good, even claiming that I can learn Southern Border’s medical skills just by casually reading some medical books. She wanted me to go back to the Southern Border with them, saying I’d become some witch doctor of theirs.”

“Imagine that. With my decent looks, could I possibly match some witch doctor? It’s simply an insult to my character. Naturally, I refused, so they attempted to use force, trying to seize the opportunity to imprison me and convince me.”

“Fortunately, I was smart enough to guard against their schemes when I went to the Prince’s Mansion. Didn’t I leave you a message that exposed their conspiracy?” Saying this, Lu Sangqi laughed proudly, looking as if he was immensely satisfied with himself.

Ye Muyu raised her eyebrows: “…Are you sure this isn’t just you bragging?”

Lu Sangqi opened his eyes wide, looking as if he couldn’t accept her words: “I say, Ah Yu, we are friends. Didn’t you used to praise my medical skills? Now, who did you learn this skill of turning against friends so quickly from? It’s too much.”

“Oh, I learned it from you.” Ye Muyu said with a smile.

“Did you drink your medicine today? What exactly is the extent of your injuries?” Ye Muyu did not delve deeper into the previous question, as if she already believed what he had said.

Lu Sangqi sighed lightly: “Ah, I drank it. First thing in the morning, I had my medicine. It was so bitter that my mouth doesn’t have much sensation left.”

“Ah, I knew you were suffering, so I made you some filled candies.” Ye Muyu waved, and Su Mei took a package wrapped in kraft paper from a food box and handed it to Ye Muyu.

Ye Muyu had Su Mei feed Lu Sangqi a piece.

Lu Sangqi was a bit eager and instinctively leaned forward to look, but he forgot about his injuries, which indeed tugged at the wounds, causing him to grimace and not dare to move recklessly.

He moved his mouth, and the candy cracked open, releasing its sweet filling throughout his mouth, instantly dispelling the bitterness of the medicine.

He felt as if he had never eaten such sweet candy in his life; sweet but not cloying, which left him very satisfied though awkwardly unwilling to admit it aloud.

After finishing a piece of candy, he smacked his lips and stubbornly said: “It’s not bad.”

“I’ll leave it next to you. It’s warm now, so the candies won’t last long. Be careful to avoid attracting mosquitoes. Remember to have the servant boy preserve them well.”
