Duke Jing's younger sister

Chapter 256 You Want to Coax Me

It was bright day, and the King of Medicine was leisurely feeding the cat in the yard.

Hearing a creaking sound from the closed door behind him, he stopped what he was doing and looked in the direction of the sound.

The man looked refreshed and well-fed.

The woman behind him looked much better than yesterday, with a slight blush still on her cheeks.

It was clear at a glance that these two people had just done nothing good.

But they are a couple, and they are in the prime of their life. Even if the poison is not eliminated, it is not strange that they are affectionate.

"Oh, this young man is full of energy."

The Medicine King put down the civet cat in his hand, clapped his hands, and said with a smile, "Come on, girl, let me take your pulse and see how effective this time is."

Jiang Li is a girl after all, and she is thin-skinned.

Hearing the Medicine King speak so bluntly, she suddenly blushed with shame, as if blood would drip out.

Shen Beiqi cast a dissatisfied look at Yao Wang, warning him not to talk nonsense and to have some awareness of being an elder.

The King of Medicine shrugged and ignored his warning.

Jiang Li stepped forward obediently, bowed slightly and said, "Thank you, senior."

The Medicine King smiled and said, "I don't feel tired. It's your husband who is tired. Besides, your life is very precious."

Husband!

Jiang Li was stunned for a moment.

Then I muttered to myself, why does this old man speak so...incoherently.

Miao Yu and her master have somewhat similar personalities.

She sat down at the stone table and stretched out her hand, revealing half of her slender, pale arm.

The King of Medicine examined the pulse for a while, then withdrew his hand, looked at Shen Beiqi, raised his eyebrows and said, "The effect is not bad. If it were in my steam room, the toxins would be completely removed. But it seems that you will need to remove the poison again tomorrow."

Hearing this, Jiang Li glared at the handsome young man standing in the yard with dissatisfaction.

Shen Beiqi touched his nose, lowered his head and smiled, ignoring her anger.

How could it be enough to detoxify it once more?

At dusk, the sun was finally not so hot. Shen Beiqi rode his horse and brought Jiang Li to the beach she had always dreamed of.

Jiang Li stared at the blue sea in a trance, with the sound of surging waves in her ears and soft sand under her feet.

Being in this vast world, one's mood becomes relaxed for no reason.

The snow-white waves surged up, and Shen Beiqi pulled her back a little, "Be careful not to get your shoes and socks wet."

Jiang Li looked back at him and smiled, "Miao Yu is right, the sea is really beautiful, I love it so much."

Shen Beiqi glanced at her and teased, "Are you changing your mind so quickly?"

"Ah?" She looked confused. "What?"

He held her in his arms, "You liked the mountains before, but now you like the sea?"

The setting sun is as red as blood, shining obliquely on the sea level.

Half of the sky was dyed golden red, covering the young men and women on the beach with a layer of beautiful soft gauze.

The young man's dark eyes reflected the picturesque sunset and contained countless indescribable deep emotions, which made her heart warm and soft.

"Jealous?" she laughed.

Shen Beiqi nodded, "You have to coax me."

Jiang Li smiled slightly, stood on tiptoe, and kissed him lightly on the cheek like a dragonfly touching the water. "Although I like the sea, what I love... is always the mountains."

"You said some nice words of love." Shen Beiqi chuckled, "But, it's not enough."

He leaned over slightly, got close to her ear, and said in a low, hoarse voice, "I prefer actual coaxing."

Almost instantly, Jiang Li realized what the actual action he was talking about was.

She punched him lightly, "How come...were you always pretending?"

Shen Beiqi laughed, "What am I pretending to be?"

Jiang Li: "Everyone in Jiangdu knows that Duke Jingguo is cold as ice and strangers are not allowed to approach him. If they knew that you were so shameless in private, they would probably be shocked."

Not only the people of Jiangdu City, but even she once thought that he had changed and was no longer the carefree and unrestrained young man.

The distance between them gradually widened during that period.

But now, in front of her, he seemed to have changed back again.

"So Ahri likes me like that? From now on, I'll try my best."

When Shen Beiqi leaned over to kiss her, Jiang Li pushed him away, "If you have something to say, talk to me. Don't make a move."

He held her hand, the corner of his mouth raised slightly, "Ali is wrong, I moved my mouth."

Jiang Li: “…”

......

As soon as the two stepped into the Medicine King's courtyard, they heard a familiar shout.

"Jiang Li——"

A figure pounced towards her like a bird, and was about to embrace her in his arms, but was blocked by the person beside him.

Miao Yu was full of dissatisfaction and complained, "Hey, what's your attitude? You are simply destroying the bridge after crossing the river, so ungrateful!"

Hearing this, Shen Beiqi sneered and said, "What kind of bridge are you demolishing? What kind of favor are you forgetting?"

As early as when the King of Medicine said that this poison was only an aphrodisiac to Luo Zhu, he was speechless.

If I had known that the poison could be cured so easily, why would I have taken Ah Li on such a long journey and suffered so much?

Just send someone to get a Qingfengyin at full speed, and he will naturally help A'li detoxify.

All of this can be attributed to the Medicine King’s direct disciple, Miao Yu.

"Of course it's my master's kindness. If it weren't for my master, how could the poison be cured so quickly? What you owe my master is what you owe me. It's the same."

Miao Yu crossed her arms in front of her chest, looking at Shen Beiqi with an increasingly unhappy look in her eyes, "Besides, Jiang Li is my good sister. Do I need your permission to hug her?"

"All right."

Jiang Li smiled helplessly, patted Shen Beiqi's arm, turned to look at Miao Yu, "Miao Yu, when did you arrive?"

"I just arrived too."

Miao Yu looked at Jiang Li aggrievedly, "I heard from Master that we will set off to return to Jiangdu City the day after tomorrow? Can't we stay for two more days?"

"The day after tomorrow?"

Jiang Li glanced at Shen Beiqi and saw that he looked normal, so she knew it was true. "I don't know either. Can we stay a few more days?"

This question was directed to Shen Beiqi.

He sat down at the stone table, picked up the teapot, poured himself a cup of tea, and said slowly, "The situation in the city is still unstable now, and the New Year is coming soon."

Jiang Li was silent.

It was already mid-November, and the journey back to Jiangdu City would take at least a month.

The end of every year is the busiest time for the court. With the new emperor ascending the throne this year, the court will probably be even busier.

It's time to go back.

Speaking of going back, she suddenly remembered that her current identity was still the concubine of the third prince.

No, she should have become the concubine of the new emperor of Southern Wu.

But she and Shen Beiqi have already...

"Then when I return to Jiangdu City, do I still have to go to the palace?" Jiang Li asked.

Shen Beiqi paused while drinking tea and glanced at her deeply, "You are daydreaming again."
