Du Zixu asked Liu Qiaoer to take Tuoba Xiao to live in the city.
And someone was hired to watch over them.
At the same time, it was announced that the eldest prince of the Northern Qiang Kingdom had passed away.
In the exquisite courtyard, Tuoba Xiao was dying. Liu Qiaoer entered the house carrying the boiled medicine.
She sighed softly toward the window, she knew that she and Tuoba Xiao were being tricked.
Du Zixu was really cruel. Although she said that, why didn't she bring Tuoba Xiao back to Da Zhou, but was detained in Qiangjing instead
She couldn't go back to the Great Zhou, couldn't see Lu Yunzheng, couldn't take back the space, and couldn't use the advanced medical equipment in the space. She could only rely on the medical knowledge she had learned to temporarily maintain Tuoba Xiao's life.
Spring has gone and autumn has come, and it has been almost half a year.
It was strange that Tuoba Ling still had no control over Qiangjing. When the news of the eldest prince's death came, the Qiang emperor ordered a grand funeral.
Upon learning that Tuoba Ling was not dead, he allowed him to continue to be a prince, and at the same time supported the Qiang Queen's other son, the Sixth Prince, to learn state affairs from him.
Three years passed. Tuoba Ling became the Qiang Emperor in three years, but somehow it felt a bit dangerous.
These were not what Liu Qiaoer considered.
Although the yard is small, it has everything needed, including two bedrooms, a study, a kitchen, and maids who deliver meals and vegetables to them on a daily basis.
Since she couldn't run away, Liu Qiaoer's daily routine was to study medical books and treat Tuoba Xiao.
After Tuoba Xiao was captured, his condition became more serious. His body began to swell. When he pressed it with his fingers, he found that his skin had no elasticity at all and it took a long time for it to get up.
Liu Qiaoer performed acupuncture on him twice a day and finally managed to eliminate the swelling in his body.
The best way now is to get a kidney transplant, but there is no space, and Liu Qiaoer's secret cannot be revealed to outsiders, so a kidney transplant is unrealistic.
Liu Qiaoer looked through all the medical books in the study and tried various herbs one by one. Finally, after half a year, she woke Tuoba Xiao up.
"I am not dead?"
Liu Qiaoer was flipping through medical books and writing down prescriptions for treating kidney disease using traditional Chinese medicine. She has been doing this for the past six months.
Hearing the voice, she put down the book and walked to the bed. Looking at Tuoba Xiao's handsome but icy face, she smiled.
"You are declared dead, but in fact, you are still alive."
Tuoba Xiao moved her fingers. She knew this woman, the one who escaped from the military camp. She didn't expect that she knew medical skills.
And even though Tuoba Xiao was in a coma, he could hear Liu Qiaoer's daily mumbling.
A familiar voice, a familiar smell of medicine, Tuoba Xiao gently closed his eyes.
The voice was somewhat decadent: "I am already a dead man, what's the point of you saving me?"
Liu Qiao'er did not hide her thoughts at all, and smiled sweetly: "Of course it's because you are beautiful and you want to be my servant alive."
Tuoba Xiao smiled coldly and turned his face away.
Liu Qiaoer checked the time and said, "It's time to take a medicinal bath today. After the bath, I'll give you another acupuncture treatment. If nothing goes wrong, you'll be able to stand up from the ass tomorrow."
Is it so magical
Tuoba Xiao had no doubt at this moment that his survival was a miracle.
But what's the point of living in anonymity
It doesn’t matter what, after all, I’m just a patient for her to practice her medical skills.
The water in the bathtub was ready, and Liu Qiaoer picked up Tuoba Xiao skillfully, took off all his clothes except his underwear, and put him in the bathtub.
Not long after, Tuoba Xiao felt a tightness in his chest and his whole body became dizzy.
"Open the window. It's so stuffy."
Liu Qiaoer turned around and half-opened the window next to him. Looking at the snowflakes falling outside the window, he was slightly dazed.
"It's winter already."
"Yes, you were in a coma for half a year. I finally woke you up. You must live well."
As Liu Qiaoer spoke, she poured water from the bathtub over him and washed Tuoba Xiao's hair with soap nuts.
A pair of gentle and dexterous hands, like a comb, soothed his restless heart.
Although she was a little shy, Tuoba Xiao had already realized that this kind of scene had happened more than once or twice. This was how she served him when he was unconscious.
Unconsciously, an indescribable beauty arose in his heart.
Liu Qiaoer tied his hair on top of his head with a hairpin and took out a large towel to try to fish Tuoba Xiao out.
Suddenly I noticed that his face was flushed and his expression was a little unnatural. I looked down at his body and shyly turned my face away.
"I won't watch. If you can get up, do it yourself."
Tuoba Xiao struggled for a while, and when he felt that he could move, he barely stood up by holding on to the edge of the wooden barrel.
However, he could only stand up. The excessive amount of exercise made his weak body break out in a cold sweat.
After drying his body with a towel, Liu Qiaoer, still with her eyes closed, handed him his underwear and trousers.
Although Tuoba Xiao put on his clothes very slowly, he still put them on one by one.
Sitting cross-legged on the bed, he suppressed his voice and said in a hoarse voice: "I'm fine."
Although Liu Qiaoer had looked at Tuoba Xiao's body more than once when he was unconscious, it would be impolite to look at it again now that he was awake.
Liu Qiaoer simply covered her eyes with a piece of cloth.
"I won't look at you, so you don't have to be embarrassed. Just relax your body. In the eyes of us doctors, there is no gender."
Tuoba Xiao also wanted to relax, but he just couldn't. He didn't know why, but whenever Liu Qiaoer's soft hands touched his skin, his sensitive heart would tremble.
When the patient is nervous, acupuncture is not effective. Liu Qiaoer touched his tense muscles and sighed softly.
"You are the eldest prince of Northern Qiang. Are you married? Do you have children?"
Tuoba Xiao smiled bitterly: "Who would like me when I am so sick?"
Yes, those who are weak since childhood will be looked down upon even if they are members of the royal family. For example, Zhao Ziyu, he used to be an invisible man.
Well, Liu Qiaoer changed the subject: "With your body, you should take good care of yourself. You are attacking the Great Zhou with your sick body. You are risking your life."
Tuoba Xiao didn't say anything.
Liu Qiaoer was shocked to realize that her questions might involve the Northern Qiang court, so she didn't want to ask more questions.
"Well, now you are dead to the outside world. I saved you and you are mine. In the past six months, the medicines I used on you were very expensive. I thought that since you are a prince, you would not be too poor to pay me for the consultation."
Tuoba Xiao said in a cold tone: "I have no money."
Liu Qiaoer didn't believe it: "How is it possible?"
Tuoba Xiao stopped talking again.
Liu Qiaoer was annoyed: "Alright, then you can be my servant for the rest of your life. Since you are so pretty, I will not treat you unfairly as long as I have something to eat."
Just when Liu Qiao'er thought Tuoba Xiao agreed, he suddenly said something.
"I don't know how to serve others, but I can be your man and protect you."
Liu Qiaoer said with a 'huh' sound: "I don't need your protection, and I already have a man."
She has been missing for more than half a year, and she doesn't know whether Lu Yunzheng knows about it or whether he will come to look for her.
Unexpectedly, Tuoba Xiao snorted coldly: "That man must be bad to you. You have come here, but he hasn't found you yet. He is either stupid or he doesn't care about you."
Liu Qiaoer didn't expect Tuoba Xiao to be so sharp-tongued.
She was so angry that she pinched him hard: "He is the general of the Zhenbei Army. If you hadn't suddenly started the war, he would have come to me a long time ago."
