Chapter 494: Beauty Is a Temptation
Yun Ran looked at his back and silently wiped the sweat from her forehead, somewhat helpless, "Nangong Mo, stop making trouble, let Yue Ying come."
"Master..."
"Don’t make me angry, it hurts even more when I get upset..."
Nangong Mo immediately looked at her nervously, "Don’t get angry, I’ll go right away."
Soon, Yue Ying came rushing in, looking anxious, "Princess, are you okay? How are you feeling now? I’ll go get..."
Yun Ran pulled her in with a light laugh, "Yue Ying, don’t worry, there’s nothing you need to do or get, just stay here for a while."
"Ah?!"
Yue Ying was completely confused and full of doubt, she really didn’t understand.
Yun Ran winked at her, but didn’t say anything.
Yue Ying seemed to understand something, but was somewhat in disbelief, looking at the door, then at Yun Ran, "Princess? You? You... you’re not..."
Yun Ran poured out two crystal-clear candy-like pills from a small bottle, ate one herself, and handed one to Yue Ying, "Here, they’re good for beauty and taste delicious!"
"Thank you, Princess~" Yue Ying readily accepted and popped the candy pill into her mouth, "Princess, you didn’t see the expression on Master’s face just now, it was really scary!"
"Oh? What kind of expression did he have? Tell me about it."
Meanwhile, as the two chatted idly, they often burst into laughter, creating a harmonious and pleasant atmosphere. On the other side, however, dark clouds loomed, the air was chilly, and the wind was biting...
Nangong Mo frowned as he looked at the man holding the medicine box below, his cold eyes deep, "Didn’t she already take several doses of medicine before? Why did it recur?"
Jiuli reached up to touch the corner of his eye, avoiding the intimidating gaze of his master, "This is different from common ailments. The Princess had severe deficiencies in vital energy and blood before, and coupled with cold symptoms, it requires slow recuperation and constant attention. Recently, the snow and wind were too severe, which likely made her catch a cold, bringing in cold air, hence her condition."
Hearing this, Nangong Mo furrowed his brow even deeper, "As you say, does this mean she must be cautious everywhere, otherwise, it could recur at any time?"
Such a carefree and free-loving girl, if she’s constrained everywhere, she’d definitely be unhappy!
Jiuli glanced at his master’s expression, swallowing nervously, and nodded with difficulty, "It seems... indeed... that’s the case..."
"Then what use are you to me?"
"......"
Jiuli touched his nose, looking hurt and aggrieved after being scorned, pouting, "Master, as the saying goes, everyone has their area of expertise. I’m a military doctor! A military doctor! All these years following you in the barracks, it’s been a bunch of rough men! I haven’t seen any women patients..."
He glanced apologetically at Nangong Mo and added, "As a military doctor, I’m best at treating and curing rough old men..."
Nangong Mo: "..."
...
Yue Ying had not been gone for long when Nangong Mo pushed the door open and came in.
Yun Ran was already lying down and upon hearing the sound, peeked at him, her gaze sweeping over the bowl in his hand, "What’s that, I don’t want to drink medicine! Didn’t I ask Yue Ying to tell you I’m already fine?"
"This is ginger jujube tea, not medicine."
Nangong Mo held the bowl and walked straight to her bed, a spoon in hand, evidently intending to feed her.
"I don’t want..."
"I put sugar in it, it’s not bitter. Be good!"
"..."
He looked at her, his eyes deep and gentle, like the infinite ocean under the moonlit night, reflecting countless stars, shimmering softly, making one unknowingly entranced.
It was as if her heart was bewitched, forgetting to refuse, unable to utter words of rejection, and obediently drank the tea he offered...
A bowl of tea warmed her insides, sweet, spicy, and cozy, as waves of emotions surged in Yun Ran’s heart... She silently pinched her leg under the covers...
[Why did I become infatuated? How did I get captivated by him so easily? Ah... softness is a hero’s grave, allure is a downfall!]
"Aran has been looking at me like this, do you want another bowl?"
