Chapter 37: No Title!

“Physician Si really went to the capital!” Zhao Sixi looked at the unreasonable Li Tianyang in front of her, feeling a terrible headache. Why won’t he just believe her?

Li Tianyang narrowed his fox-like eyes and looked at her coldly. “Then tell me, what did she go to the capital for?”

How would she know that!

Zhao Sixi scratched her head, looking quite timid under his gaze. “I… I really don’t know what Physician Si went to the capital for. She didn’t tell me. Really!” She said to him with a face full of sincerity, almost raising her hand to swear an oath.

Li Tianyang glanced at her coldly. “Then tell me when she will be back.”

“This…” Zhao Sixi scratched her head. Although Physician Si said she would be back in two or three days, she couldn’t be sure. “I only know that when Physician Si went to the capital, she said she would be back in a couple of days…”

In a couple of days?

“Alright, then I will wait for her here. If she doesn’t come back, you’ll be in trouble.” Li Tianyang threatened her with a gloomy face.

How could she be certain if Physician Si would come back in a couple of days! Zhao Sixi felt like crying and pounding the ground. This Li Devil King is truly unreasonable. Zhao Sixi curled up inside the medicine cabinet, thinking to herself: Hmph! Serves him right that he won’t be able to marry in the future.

“You’re saying bad things about me.” Li Tianyang looked at her coldly. This fool’s thoughts are all over her face.

Zhao Sixi felt startled. This Li Devil King even knows what she’s thinking!? She hurriedly shook her head and waved her hands. “No no! How would I dare say bad things about you.” After speaking, she directly lowered her head and started recording medicine books, not daring to think carelessly again.

“Tsk.” Li Tianyang looked down on her turtle-like behavior. How can there be such a timid and cowardly woman, completely different from that person.

He walked to the tea table on the side with a cold face and sat down, folding his arms as if he really intended to wait for that person to return.

Zhao Sixi glanced at him cautiously while copying the book, sighing inwardly. If Physician Si really marries this Li Devil King in the future, it will truly be eight lifetimes of bad luck, unreasonable and jealous.

Fortunately, Si Qingyu couldn’t hear her thoughts. Otherwise, she would give her a slap on the head to wake her up.

“Sixi!”

A warm and surprised voice suddenly came from the door. Zhao Sixi looked over and it was actually that Officer Zhang? She quickly put down the pen and rushed over, also with a face full of surprise. “Officer Zhang, why are you here?”

Officer Zhang patted her shoulder, her voice hearty. “Hey! Our Lord Luo said to come see Physician Si and brought some gifts to give to Physician Si.” As she spoke, she turned her head to let Zhao Sixi see. A woman with delicate features, dressed in light-colored robes, stood at the doorway.

Why is it that when Physician Si was at the medical hall, not a single person came to find her, but now that she’s not at the medical hall, a whole bunch of people come.

Zhao Sixi scratched her neck, feeling a bit at a loss. She looked at Officer Zhang in front of her. “But Physician Si is not at the medical hall…”

“Ah? Then where is Physician Si?”

“Physician Si went to the capital.” After saying that, she hurriedly added, “But Physician Si said she would be back in a day or two, maybe not today then tomorrow…” Towards the end, she felt a bit guilty and unsure.

“Is that so…” Officer Zhang turned her head and said to Luo Jinhua behind her, “Lord Luo, Physician Si is not at the medical hall right now. Should we wait?”

Luo Jinhua nodded while looking around. “Then let’s wait.”

Officer Zhang nodded and only noticed Li Tianyang inside when she turned her head back. “You have a patient?”

Glancing at Li Tianyang sitting there, Zhao Sixi shook her head helplessly. “No, also here to wait for Physician Si like you.”

“Hahahaha!” Officer Zhang laughed heartily and patted Zhao Sixi’s small shoulder again. “Your Physician Si is truly popular!” She even winked at her suggestively.

Indeed! Zhao Sixi rubbed her nose and gave a dry laugh. “Officer Zhang, Lord Luo, please come sit inside first.” She poured two cups of tea for them at the spot opposite Li Tianyang. “Please sit here.”

Li Tianyang, who was sitting across, never spared them a glance from beginning to end, leisurely drinking tea with an aloof manner that made people’s teeth itch.

“Hey!” Officer Zhang was someone who easily got fired up. She was about to say something to him but was stopped by Luo Jinhua beside her.

“We’re here to see Physician Si.” She sat down opposite the young man, glanced at him, and sat properly drinking tea and waiting.

Officer Zhang glanced at Luo Jinhua and dawdled over to Zhao Sixi by the medicine cabinet. Covering her face with her hand, she asked in a low voice, “What did Physician Si go to the capital for?”

Zhao Sixi looked at her in confusion, not understanding why she had to act so sneaky, but she couldn’t help starting to gossip with her. “I don’t know either. Physician Si wouldn’t tell me.”

Officer Zhang rubbed her chin with a mysterious look. “Hehe… I know.”

“Ah?” What does she know?

“Must have gone to meet the person she likes, that’s why she didn’t want to tell you.”

“……” Zhao Sixi was a bit speechless. She really hadn’t thought of that. Her eyes glanced at Li Tianyang by the tea table and she couldn’t help gossiping with her. The two gossipy people hit it off right away.

Even though they spoke in low voices, Li Tianyang sitting to the side could still hear clearly. His face was gloomy, wishing he could take out a whip and give the two of them a good beating.

……

In the carriage

When Si Qingyu woke up, she only felt a bit of fatigue in the back of her neck. She couldn’t help moving her hand, wanting to massage it, but found that her right arm couldn’t move at all. She frowned. As soon as she moved her head slightly, she saw Luo Shaoxuan embracing her, resting his head on her shoulder, sleeping sweetly.

She was slightly stunned.

What’s going on?

She tried hard to think. It seemed they had encountered a group of black-clad people? Then she went to drive the carriage and suddenly fainted… She rubbed her temples with her free left hand, feeling a headache.

At this time, the carriage was bumping along. Si Qingyu glanced at Luo Shaoxuan who was holding her, then at the carriage curtain. Who was driving the carriage?

She hesitated for a moment and tentatively tried to break free from his arms without waking him up. But obviously, she was overthinking. As soon as she moved to the side, the head nestled in the crook of her neck also let out a whimper.

Luo Shaoxuan frowned a little in dissatisfaction. He opened his hazy beautiful eyes and looked at Si Qingyu who had woken up. Then he closed his eyes again, nuzzling her ear. His voice carried a sleepy tone that hadn’t fully awakened. “Sleep a bit more, hmm?”

“You sleep. I’ll get up first.” Seeing that he was already awake, she directly pried open his arms around her waist and sat up.

Without her by his side, Luo Shaoxuan couldn’t sleep anymore. He sat up with her, rubbed his eyes, and looked at her with misty autumn eyes. Then his whole body stretched lazily like he had no bones, leaning against her with half-closed eyes, half asleep, half awake.

His current appearance was extremely similar to a noble, elegant, yet lazy cat, making Si Qingyu’s hands a bit itchy for a moment. She lightly coughed to alleviate the strange feeling in her heart. “Who’s driving the carriage outside?”

Luo Shaoxuan was very dissatisfied that she asked these irrelevant things as soon as she woke up. He turned her face to look directly at him. “Ziliang, you should look at me first. Haven’t you noticed anything different about me?”

Different? Si Qingyu swept her eyes over him from top to bottom. “Mm, you changed clothes.”

Only then did Luo Shaoxuan smile with satisfaction. He released her face and rested his chin on her shoulder, chuckling softly. “The person outside is my hidden guard. There’s no problem anymore.” Those damn people were all dead.

“Those black-clad people?”

“Mm… they all escaped.” He rubbed his chin against her shoulder, not intending to tell her the truth. He alone could handle these matters.

Si Qingyu nodded, but she was more curious about who had sent those people. Could it be the same group as last time? But what reason did they have to pursue her relentlessly?

Troublesome. Si Qingyu rubbed her temples, feeling a bit irritated. She was just an ordinary physician. When did she get involved in these troubles without even knowing?

Suddenly, a pair of slender, fair hands replaced hers, massaging her temples for her. “Is it better?” He asked softly by her ear.

“Mm.”

Si Qingyu felt a bit indescribable about Luo Shaoxuan’s sudden change in attitude after waking up, but it also didn’t make her feel any rejection.

With him massaging her temples like this, Si Qingyu actually felt a bit drowsy for a moment. She stopped Luo Shaoxuan from continuing. “No need, it’s already better.” She didn’t want to fall asleep again.

Luo Shaoxuan also retracted his hands as told and sat beside her. He turned around, opened a hidden compartment in the carriage, and took out a box of pastries, placing it in front of her. “You’re hungry, right? These are some osmanthus cakes I made myself. Try them?”

As he spoke, he opened the lid of the pastry box. Inside were exquisite cakes, each emitting a faint fragrance of osmanthus, making one want to have a taste.

Si Qingyu picked up a piece and put it in her mouth. It melted as soon as it entered, with a delicate and sweet taste. “Delicious.”

“Then eat more!” He picked up a piece of pastry and placed it by her lips. He was very enthusiastic and happy about feeding her.

Si Qingyu didn’t refuse and ate the cake from his hand.

“We’ve arrived at the town, Master.” Suddenly, Qingmo spoke from outside the carriage.

Hearing her voice hoarse as if her throat was injured, it immediately caught the attention of Si Qingyu, who was a physician. She looked at Luo Shaoxuan, who was staring straight at her. “Is your hidden guard’s throat injured? If so, should I take a look at it for her?”

“No need.” Before Luo Shaoxuan could speak, Qingmo outside refused first.

Luo Shaoxuan looked at the carriage curtain with displeasure. “Since when is it your turn to speak.” He then turned back to look at her. “Her throat has always been like this. No need to pay attention to her.”

“…… Oh.”

The carriage stopped at the entrance of the medical hall. Si Qingyu got off first. She was about to directly enter the medical hall when she heard Luo Shaoxuan lightly cough in the carriage and stretch out his hand, clearly meaning for Si Qingyu to hold and support him as he got off. Although she didn’t understand why it was necessary for just a small step, Si Qingyu still gave him face and assisted him in alighting.

As soon as they entered the medical hall, they saw a bunch of people sitting inside. Two were sitting quietly at the tea table, while the other two were chattering and gossiping by the medicine cabinet. Si Qingyu’s eyelids twitched. Why had they all gathered together?
