I survived as a female assassin

Chapter 117 Eat Melon

After returning to Mu Yuan's house, Ji Xue took him directly to his room.

I have been here many times, but I have never had the chance to appreciate this house properly.

Imperial Physician Qin had been waiting here long ago this time. "Young lady, you're here quite early today!"

Xin Youran was still somewhat uncomfortable. She had a man's face, but was called a young lady.

"Doctor Qin, you don't have to be so polite. You can just call me Youran."

At this time, only Doctor Qin and she were left in the room. Mu Yuan was probably not here because he had something to do. Ji Xue had completed her mission by sending her here.

"Hahaha, Your Highness still has official business to attend to, so we are not in a hurry."

Why are you coming so early if you are not in a hurry?

Xin Youran smiled and said nothing, but it was so awkward for the two of them to sit facing each other like that!

"Doctor Qin, you look about sixty or seventy years old, right?"

If this happened in modern times, he would have retired long ago.

"I just celebrated my fiftieth birthday..."

Xin Youran: ...That's a bit presumptuous...

It would be fine if people told me I was young, but it's like I'm a generation older than you. I'm lucky I didn't get scolded.

This shows that Imperial Physician Qin is extremely accomplished.

"Haha, haha, it's really rare that you are so young and have such superb medical skills. I admire you so much."

Doctor Qin didn't really care, but instead picked up something that interested him and asked, "I heard that you and His Highness had a brief romance?"

Xin Youran:?!?

Who are you basing this claim on? It's just a rumor, pure and simple!

"Haha, how can that be? Don't listen to nonsense. We are not familiar with each other."

"By the way, what is your relationship with Mu Yuan?"

"It seems like they have an unusual relationship."

"I watched His Highness grow up. I still remember the night he was born. A strange phenomenon struck the sky. His mother spent a whole day giving birth to him. After much difficulty, she finally passed away..."

"Concubine Xin is truly unlucky!"

"Then the Imperial Astronomical Observatory quickly reported that His Highness had been born, a true dragon had appeared, and that this child would surely become the Son of Heaven in the future."

"Those old bastards at the Imperial Observatory are just waiting for free meals every day, playing tricks on others and doing nothing. Their words are more powerful than imperial decrees!"

"Upon hearing this, His Majesty issued an order to select the most skilled physician from the Imperial Hospital to care for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince at all times."

"And I am one of them."

"And the closest one, hehe."

"It's truly not easy for His Royal Highness to live to this age. I don't know how many times he's nearly died in the palace. Sigh..."

"The inner courtyard of the Imperial Palace is truly not a place for human beings. I remember when Your Highness was seven years old, in the dead of winter, he was playing in the snow in the Imperial Gardens when he slipped and fell into the water for no apparent reason."

"At that time, our entire Imperial Hospital was mobilized. We ran a high fever for two days and two nights, but we finally saved the patient."

"You don't even know that at that time, the little prince was already stiff. Fortunately, he managed to wake up and act like nothing happened!"

"It also saved the lives of a few of us old guys..."

"But since then, the child has become quiet and taciturn, staying in the East Palace all day long."

"I analyzed it and it must be someone..."

Doctor Qin was speaking with great interest, and Xin Youran was listening with great interest, but they were interrupted by the person involved who suddenly appeared.

"What big plan are you two plotting?"

Mu Yuan's voice echoed in the room like a ghost.

Doctor Qin and Xin Youran quickly sat up straight and laughed, "No, just chatting casually, hehe."

"I'm asking Doctor Qin when my shoulder wound will heal. It's very inconvenient to have my arm in a sling all the time. I'm wondering if he can take it off."

"Are you done with your work?"

Doctor Qin quickly continued, "Yes, I told You Ran that it would take another two days before you can put your arm down."

"As for the wound, we'll know when we change the dressing later."

Mu Yuan didn't ask any other questions. Instead, he washed his hands first, then took off the bandage that was hanging Xin Youran's arm. He gently held her arm with his hand.

He moved very gently, afraid of hurting Xin Youran.

Doctor Qin was very considerate and walked forward to change her medicine.

Xin Youran really wanted to see how the wound on her shoulder was, but Mu Yuan seemed to know her intention and manually pressed her head into his arms.

As a result, she now doesn't know what the wound is like.

After quickly changing the dressing, Doctor Qin said cheerfully, "The wound is healing well. You won't need to apply more medicine in three days."

Perhaps it was their conversation just now that brought them closer together.

Mu Yuan put the bandage she had worn on her again, and then asked softly, "How was the battle today?"

"Did the ointment sell?"

What he wanted to say was that if Ningxiang Pavilion didn't work, then go to Mingyuzhai.

Unexpectedly, Xin Youran said happily, "It's sold! And it's twice the previous price!"

"I made a hundred taels today."

"I've never seen so much money."

"Don't blame me for asking for too much. It was Shopkeeper Guo who broke his promise first."

Xin Youran was sharing today's joy with Mu Yuan when she suddenly felt a sharp pain like a needle prick in her index finger. When she looked over, blood was already flowing out of her index finger.

Doctor Qin was using a very small container to collect the blood. Not long after, he quickly took the hemostatic herbs he had prepared in advance and applied them on her index finger.

Xin Youran suddenly had a wild idea. Mu Yuan drinks her blood every day. Doesn’t he look like a vampire?

He was still wearing dark black clothes today, and with his fair skin, red lips and white teeth, he really looked a bit like the male protagonist of a vampire TV series she had watched before.

Doctor Qin skillfully brought over the decocted medicine. After watching Mu Yuan drink the medicine with Xin Youran's blood, he lifted his arm and checked the black line.

"Hmm, not bad, not bad. The thread that was supposed to be as thick as a thumb is still very thin."

"This is all thanks to Miss Youran. She is truly our Highness's lucky star!"

When Mu Yuan gave him a look that said "You're the only one who talks too much", Doctor Qin lowered his head to pack up his things and prepared to leave.

I wonder if he heard what I just said about his childhood...

This man is known for being ruthless, and he is no exception even at his age.

Seeing Doctor Qin leaving, Xin Youran wanted to keep him. She found Mu Yuan's childhood stories quite interesting and wanted to hear more, but seeing Mu Yuan's poker face, she gave up. It was a blessing to be able to taste his melon.

Seeing that her task had been completed, she thought about returning to Yuemanlou as soon as possible, because she couldn't wait to enter the room, lock the door, and carefully count the one hundred taels of silver she had earned today!

He was so busy showing off in front of Manager Guo that he was too embarrassed to count the money to see if it was missing.

"Well, there's nothing for me to do now, right? How about I leave first?"

Mu Yuan said inexplicably, "I like the cakes you bought."

"Thank you, madam."

"If you're really short of money, I can give you any amount you want."
