Liu Qiaoer placed the porridge beside the table, and Lu Yunzheng lay on the bed, unable to move.
She still fed him with a straw, inserting the straw into the bowl, holding the bowl, and lying beside Lu Yunzheng's bed.
"The porridge is quite watery, so it won't taste good when you're lying down. Just sip it slowly."
While eating, Lu Yunzheng recalled what Mu Lingxiao had just said.
"Although your body was badly damaged, it seems that you have recovered quite well now. You should take the medicine I prescribed for you on time. However, you need to rest for at least half a year. However, if you find the last doctor who treated you, you may be able to get out of bed in three months."
Although Lu Yunzheng had been unconscious, he still had some impression in his mind.
He remembered Liu Qiaoer's wheezing sound in his ear. He was heavier than her, but she still insisted on digging him out from the pile of dead bodies and carrying him home.
I also remember Liu Qiaoer looking at the wounds all over his body, sighing and saying that he looked like a rag doll.
As for calling a doctor, Lu Yunzheng felt it was impossible as he had never met any strangers so far.
The only explanation is that Liu Qiaoer was the one who performed both treatments.
However, Lu Yunzheng had no recollection of how the treatment was performed each time. He only heard Liu Qiaoer's voice.
"Go to sleep, the pain will go away when you wake up."
He really fell asleep. When he woke up, the wound still hurt, but he could also feel that the injury was slowly getting better.
Liu Qiaoer was leaning over the bedside holding the bowl. Lu Yunzheng drank slowly, taking a break after taking a few sips. She didn't want to rush him, so she could only wait patiently.
He held his chin and looked at Lu Yunzheng's face, then sighed sadly.
"It's disfigured. Such a handsome face. What a pity."
Don’t you know that Lu Yunzheng hates people talking about his appearance the most
He is too good-looking, so he doesn't like people only paying attention to his face and forgetting his talent.
And because of this face, he attracted a lot of romantic interests that annoyed him.
Hearing Liu Qiaoer talking about his face again, his sharp eyes shot over and glared at Liu Qiaoer.
Liu Qiao'er curled her lips, very unconvinced: "You really don't know how lucky you are. Don't you know how many people are jealous of your looks? Just like me, if I could grow up like you, there would be a lot of men around me."
Lu Yunzheng closed his eyes, took a breath, and spit out the straw.
Liu Qiaoer frowned: "You have a bad temper. You go on a hunger strike when I say a few words to you. Drink more. How can you recover quickly without eating?"
The straw was poked into Lu Yunzheng's mouth, and he was forced to drink another half bowl.
He felt like he couldn't drink any more and spit out the straw again.
There was a strong smell of medicine coming from the kitchen.
"Okay, then don't eat if you don't want to. Save your stomach for the medicine later."
Liu Qiaoer picked up the bowl and drank the remaining porridge from Lu Yunzheng. As a person living in the last days, she would not allow herself to waste food even if she had more supplies.
A hint of shock flashed across Lu Yunzheng's lake-like eyes, but when Liu Qiaoer put down the bowl, he quickly regained his composure.
"Rest for a while. I'm going to change your medicine."
In addition to prescribing oral medicines, Mu Lingxiao also prescribed ointments for treating external injuries. The ointment smelled quite unpleasant, so Liu Qiaoer covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief.
Lu Yunzheng suffered a lot. The unpleasant smell choked him and almost made him vomit out the food he had just eaten.
"Or, you can take a nap and wake up fine."
"Don't make me faint."
Liu Qiaoer wanted to give him another injection of tranquilizer while he wasn't paying attention, but Lu Yunzheng was very stubborn.
Liu Qiaoer put her hand in her sleeve pocket, paused, and compromised.
"Okay, then I warn you, the smell is secondary. The wound will hurt."
Lu Yunzheng needed the pain to make him remember this hatred. He took a deep breath and said, "Let's get started."
Liu Qiaoer didn't care, since she wasn't the one in pain anyway.
"But don't worry. Even if you have scars all over your body, I have the best scar removal cream. It's not much, only fifty taels of silver per box. I guarantee that your skin will be restored to its original state. If you don't believe me, you can buy a bottle and try it on your face."
As Liu Qiaoer spoke, she started cutting the gauze on his body.
Lu Yunzheng once again uttered three words coldly: "I have no money."
"You can owe me money if you don't have it. I have high hopes for you and I will pay you back sooner or later. You are so pretty. When my bun shop opens, just stand there. I guarantee that all the girls and wives here will come to patronize my business."
It makes me happy just thinking about it, the handsome man effect, it’s a waste not to use it.
Lu Yunzheng felt a little stuffy in his chest and his head was buzzing. The more he didn't want to listen, the more excited she talked. He was really angry.
Suddenly, Liu Qiaoer paused as if she thought of something.
"Oh, no, your fiancée will be angry. Lu Yunzheng, if you become like this, will she cancel the engagement? Or will she wait for you?"
Lu Yunzheng had been engaged for a long time, and had originally planned to get married after returning from the imperial examination in the capital. However, something like this happened, and the wedding date would probably have to be postponed indefinitely.
When thinking of his fiancée, Lu Yunzheng remembered the graceful figure behind the screen and that shy smile.
Does she have feelings for him? Maybe, but if he asked her to wait, Lu Yunzheng was confused. Even if she was willing, her family would not be willing.
Liu Qiaoer started to chatter again: "If it were me, I would definitely not wait for you. Three-legged frogs are hard to find, but two-legged men are plenty."
"However, for a top-notch talent like you, I can still consider it. After all, talented people are not as pretty as you, and pretty people are not as talented as you. Hehe, you are a top-notch talent, a top-notch talent in the world."
Lu Yunzheng felt that every word Liu Qiaoer said was a thorn in his side, and he was so angry that he almost jumped up from the bed.
The instigator is still unaware of anything and keeps chattering.
"If your fiancée breaks off the engagement with you, I think you can consider it and fall at my feet, hehe, hehe."
Liu Qiaoer was very happy in her imagination, so happy that it seemed as if they could get married tomorrow, and she laughed so hard that her saliva was flowing.
Little did he know that Lu Yunzheng was already gritting his teeth in anger.
"Don't you have a man?"
Liu Qiaoer removed all the gauze on his body, leaving only his private parts. After hearing what Lu Yunzheng said, she was slightly startled and suddenly realized.
"You mean Niu Dahu? He's so stupid, how can he be a good match for me who is smart and clever? No, no, I want to marry a man like you who is both talented and handsome."
As she spoke, Liu Qiaoer cut off the last bit of the fig leaf. Lu Yunzheng felt a chill down his spine at this moment, realizing that he had completely revealed himself to Liu Qiaoer without a single reservation.
He felt his blood rushing up, his body was heating up uncontrollably, and his primitive instincts were also recovering well, which made Liu Qiaoer very pleased.
"Ah... It looks like your abilities are intact and you can still have children. Not bad, not bad. Your fiancée should thank me."
As he spoke, he continued to clean the surrounding wounds, looking very familiar with it, not feeling ashamed at all, as if he had cleaned it many times before.
Lu Yunzheng realized at this moment why Liu Qiaoer always let him fall asleep. Whenever he was awake, she would be embarrassed to let her be so bold.
But now that things had come to this, he had seen and touched her, and his innocence was ruined in her hands. He became even angrier, and after taking a few deep breaths, he made a difficult decision.
"I can take you as my concubine."
