Chapter 31 Roughly Feeding Medicine
Xie Jinglan?
Jiang Yuyue's expression immediately turned as if she had seen a ghost. Wasn't Xie Jinglan usually aloof and unwilling to compromise? She never expected him to personally bandage her wounds?
Moreover, since the injury is on his shoulder, wouldn't he have seen almost everything about his body?
Speaking of Xie Jinglan, Jiang Yuyue suddenly remembered seeing him stand up before she fainted, and quickly asked Xiao Liu,
"Has the Third Young Master stood up? Can he walk by himself?!"
"right……"
Xiao Liu nodded. The changes that night were truly enormous. Not only was the young lady injured, but even the usually sickly third young master had miraculously recovered and was able to walk again...
Seeing Jiang Yuyue's thoughtful expression, Xiao Liu quickly said,
"Now that Miss is awake, this servant will help Miss change her dressing and clothes!"
After changing her clothes, Xiao Liu went out of the room to prepare medicine for Jiang Yuyue. Xie Jinglan was taking a nap in the side room when Jixiang heard the commotion and immediately came over to report.
"Your Highness, she has woken up."
"Ah."
Xie Jinglan responded indifferently, then got up and walked towards his room. He had already revealed yesterday that he had no serious leg ailment, so there was no need to continue the act.
As Jiang Yuyue leaned against the couch, she met Xie Jinglan's gaze as he entered the room. Although he remained expressionless and no different from usual, Jiang Yuyue's tone immediately turned sour when she thought about how she had been deceived by him for so long.
"Why isn't the Third Young Master in his wheelchair today? Is it because he's been sitting in it for too long and wants to get up and move around?"
If she hadn't been worried about Xie Jinglan's mobility, why would she have taken such an arrow for no reason?
Xie Jinglan didn't react to her sarcasm, nor did she offer any explanation.
“Your injuries haven’t healed yet, and getting angry won’t help your recovery.” His gaze fell on her shoulder.
Jiang Yuyue: "..."
These words made Jiang Yuyue feel as if she had punched a cotton ball.
She raised an eyebrow, her gaze probing. "Don't you have anything to say?"
Jiang Yuyue was met with silence. She knew Xie Jinglan's personality; if he wouldn't take the initiative to explain, then no matter how much she asked, it would be in vain.
Just as the two were at an impasse, Xiaoliu came in carrying the freshly brewed medicine.
"Miss, the medicine is ready. Let me help you take it."
Looking at the steaming bowl of herbal soup, the indescribable aroma wafted over, causing Jiang Yuyue to frown.
"Don't drink."
Jiang Yuyue turned her head away, clearly resistant to the medicinal soup.
"Who prescribed this medicine for me? Are you sure it will be good for my injury? I don't drink medicine from unknown sources."
As she said this, she glanced inadvertently at someone beside her.
But the man ignored him, his face expressionless, as if he didn't know that the person was talking about him.
Jiang Yuyue suddenly felt annoyed, and suddenly remembered herself a few days ago, except that she shouldn't have had Xie Jinglan's sullen and irritating face.
She was secretly competing with herself, but Xiao Liu didn't notice anything strange and quickly said, "Yes, yes, how could I not carefully check on Miss's affairs? Of course, I would only dare to give Miss something that would be good for her injuries!"
As she said this, she hurriedly took out a prescription from her bosom. Although it was given to her by Jixiang, she had also consulted a doctor outside to verify it.
"Although I am not as skilled in medicine as you are, Miss, I can still recognize most of the medicinal herbs. I have checked them, and the herbs on this prescription are all good quality. There must be no mistake. You can see for yourself!"
Jiang Yuyue glanced at the prescription quickly. It was indeed a good prescription for wound healing, just as Xiao Liu had said, but...
But she really didn't want to take the medicine.
Jiang Yuyue was born into a family of doctors. Her parents raised her with great care, and she has hardly ever been sick or injured since childhood. She has also taken medicine only a handful of times.
Jiang Yuyue naturally refused to drink such a large bowl of bitter medicine.
Normally, she wouldn't have thought much of Xie Jinglan drinking large bowls of medicine, but now that the tables had turned and it was her turn, Jiang Yuyue realized how difficult it was to drink such a large bowl of medicine, and could only try to find ways to refuse.
"...It's too hot, let it cool down first."
Xiaoliu scooped up a spoonful with a spoon. "It's not hot, it's not hot. Miss, please drink it quickly. This medicine is best drunk hot! If it gets cold, the medicine will lose its effectiveness!"
But Jiang Yuyue was determined to escape, and immediately came up with another excuse.
"I just woke up and I'm a little hungry. Let me eat something first before drinking."
Xie Jinglan, standing to the side, saw it clearly: all those excuses Jiang Yuyue had come up with were simply because she didn't want to take her medicine.
"Could it be that sister-in-law is afraid of hardship?"
Xie Jinglan subtly curled his lips. In the past, it was always Jiang Yuyue who teased him about taking medicine. He never expected that Jiang Yuyue was just a pretty face with a silver tongue, and she would wilted when it came to taking medicine herself.
Having her secret exposed, Jiang Yuyue felt like a cat having its tail stepped on. "Who said that? I'm not a three-year-old, how could I be afraid of bitterness! It's just... it's just this medicine..."
I just couldn't come up with anything to say next.
Seeing this, Xie Jinglan reached out and took the medicine bowl from Xiao Liu's hand. "Give it to me."
Xiao Liu looked surprised and uncertain. "Third Young Master, you are..."
As soon as Jixiang walked in, he saw this scene and was startled. His expression became somewhat meaningful.
Could it be that His Highness intends to hold the medicine in his mouth himself...?
Jiang Yuyue looked at him warily, but her mind was secretly racing.
Is their relationship about to progress?
However, it turned out that they were all overthinking it.
Xie Jinglan held the medicine bowl with his long, well-defined fingers, while his other hand pinched Jiang Yuyue's cheek.
Jiang Yuyue: ? ? !
Before she could react, the hand forcefully forced her to open her mouth, and then poured the medicine directly into her mouth.
Despite her struggles, Jiang Yuyue still managed to swallow most of the medicine, which spilled all over the blanket. In addition, Xie Jinglan forced her to drink it too hard, causing Jiang Yuyue to choke and cough repeatedly.
Seeing that she couldn't break free, Jiang Yuyue desperately opened her mouth and bit Xie Jinglan's hand.
"Well……"
Her pink lips were pressed tightly together, her fair face contorted with bitterness, and her watery eyes stared intently at him.
Xie Jinglan's expression shifted slightly, but he didn't stop giving her the medicine until Jiang Yuyue had drunk it before letting go.
"...!"
Jixiang and Xiaoliu, who were standing to the side, were dumbfounded. Neither of them expected Xie Jinglan to feed the medicine in such a wild way. Although Xiaoliu felt sorry for her young lady being treated like this, it seemed to be the only way to get her to drink the medicine obediently.
Xiao Liu silently apologized to Jiang Yuyue in her heart.
Jixiang, however, was more focused on her prince's hand. A ring of dark blue teeth marks stood out starkly against Xie Jinglan's slender, jade-like hand, and upon closer inspection, some blood was even faintly seeping out.
Jiang Yuyue's attack was really too ruthless.
"If you still refuse to take your medicine next time, I'll keep forcing it on you."
Xie Jinglan put down the medicine bowl and said, "Get some rest."
Seeing him turn and leave as if nothing had happened, Jiang Yuyue felt even more annoyed, and Xiao Liu quickly tried to smooth things over for her.
"Miss, although the Third Young Master's actions were a bit extreme, taking the medicine was ultimately for your own good! You'll have to wait until you've recovered before you can see him. Look, the blankets are all dirty; I'll go and get you a clean one!"
Now that her injuries have not yet healed, she is powerless to seek an explanation from Xie Jinglan. In addition, the medicine also has a calming effect. After eating a little something and being comforted by Xiao Liu, Jiang Yuyue fell into a drowsy sleep again.
