Tangled

Chapter 55 You Can't Eat
The old doctor took the pulse, raised his head to meet Shen Qiqi's hopeful eyes, stroked his gray beard and smiled.

"Although the girl's body is delicate, she is better than young. After the poison gas is suppressed, everything is going in a good direction."

"So, can I go back?"

Shen Qiqi couldn't wait to answer, and seeing the old doctor's smile deepened, she realized her gaffe, and hurriedly leaned her back again.

"If you go back slowly in a carriage, pay more attention, it's not impossible."

The old doctor said it himself, so he must be able to go back.

Shen Qiqi turned her gaze to Gu Tingshu, "Cousin, let's go back!"

She was very eager, but Gu Tingshu was not in a hurry, and slowly took the dark bowl of bitter medicine.

"Don't worry, let them clean up, you drink this medicine first."

The medicine was brought close, and the bitter taste instantly filled the chest cavity, so fast that there was no time for Shen Qiqi to take a breath.

She turned her head to the side, she really didn't want to drink this thing.

Gu Tingshu waved everyone out, and waited for them to close the door before bringing caramel again.

"You are already such an adult, why are you still afraid of this medicine?"

"If you don't drink it quickly, you will be ridiculed by the people below."

He has already condemned everyone, how could he still be ridiculed.

But he has already come to feed it himself, if he doesn't drink it again, I'm afraid he will be offended.

"The more you drink slowly, the more bitter the medicine will be."

Just as he was feeding it, Shen Qiqi held it with her injured hands, turned her head close to the back and took a big breath, before suppressing the vomit and pouring it down her throat.

She drank the bowl of medicine in one gulp, and before she handed the bowl back, she couldn't help but vomited against the head of the bed.

Gu Tingshu had quick eyes and quick hands, and when she opened her mouth, she directly stuffed a piece of caramel into it.

The sweet caramel overwhelmed the bitter taste in his mouth, and Shen Qiqi licked it twice before slowly sitting down with a wrinkled face.

Although the bitter taste is not too strong, it is still tenaciously stationed in the mouth and refuses to recede no matter what.

After eating the caramel and rinsing her mouth again, she still felt uncomfortable, so she asked Gu Tingshu for another piece of caramel.

"Cousin, can you tell the imperial physician that next time you don't prescribe such bitter medicine?"

Now just thinking of that smell, she still wants to vomit.

"Okay, I'll tell the imperial physician to ask him to prescribe some sweet medicine next time."

If there was a sweet medicine, the imperial physician would probably have prescribed it long ago, so why bother with this bitter and astringent medicine.

Although he knew in his heart that the medicine he drank next time would still be bitter and astringent, but since he was willing to coax himself, Shen Qiqi was naturally happy.

"The medicine is finished, can we go back?"

Now the sun is already on the top of the mountain, and it will be completely dark in an hour or so.

But since she agreed, there is absolutely no possibility of regret.

Gu Tingshu said "Yes", "I'll have someone come in to help you do your makeup, and then we'll set off immediately."

It was late at night when I got back, so there was no need to dress up, I just pulled my hair up and put on a vibrato.

"Then cousin, let's go out first, Qiqi will be fine soon."

When Jinbao Yinbao came in and packed everything, Shen Qiqi found that her legs were still weak when she was about to get out of bed.

She originally thought it would be fine to let Jin Bao support her down, but now even with the support, she still has difficulty standing up.

"Girl, let the servants carry you down."

Jin Bao handed the package he was carrying to Yin Bao, and made a gesture to pick her up.

Shen Qiqi was taken aback, if she was unconscious now, she would hug her immediately.

But now that he is awake, and she is a girl whose stature is no taller than his own, how embarrassed he is.

"I'm fine, just give me some support. I'm walking slowly. I think there's nothing wrong with it."

Jin Bao and Yin Bao looked at each other, they both saw Shen Qiqi's embarrassment, so they exchanged winks, one put a veil on her, and the other opened the door to go out.

Gu Tingshu was standing outside the door. As soon as he opened it, he saw her being supported. Seeing that her legs could not stand firmly, she went forward and hugged her horizontally.

Shen Qiqi wore a veiled hat on her head, and the white gauze covered her sight, and she could only vaguely see the note on the corner of the man's jaw.

Her ears were burning, and she wanted to ask him to let him down, but Gu Tingshu didn't give her a chance to speak, and carried her out firmly.

After going downstairs, there were guards all over the floor, and Shen Qiqi couldn't say no to it.

After being carried into the carriage, she took off her veiled hat, tilted her head to look at Gu Tingshu, wondering why he didn't go out.

The two are cousins, so it stands to reason that it would be no problem to ride in the same carriage, but in all these years, she has never heard of him traveling in a carriage.

"Cousin, do you want to ride in the same car with me?"

Gu Tingshu leaned on the carriage and closed his eyes to rest, and answered her with practical actions.

Knowing that he hadn't rested well during this time, Shen Qiqi didn't speak anymore, and also closed her eyes.

I don't know who brought the carriage. Several layers of quilts were spread in the carriage, even though the injuries on my body were not healed, I didn't feel uncomfortable sitting on it.

Perhaps it was because of Gu Tingshu sitting next to her, Shen Qiqi slept very well this time, and when she woke up naturally, the feeling of drowsiness was gone from her head.

The convoy stopped at some point, and a bonfire was lit outside, and the smell of meat was coming.

For the past two days, she could only eat light food, and Shen Qiqi felt a little greedy.

Looking at Gu Tingshu who was still resting with her eyes closed, she secretly opened the curtain.

"Shen Qi."

A low and somewhat hoarse voice suddenly sounded, and Shen Qiqi was startled, she hurriedly lowered the curtain and turned to look at him.

"Is my cousin awake too?"

Gu Tingshu didn't fall asleep all the way, he knew it as soon as she opened her eyes, and didn't want to pay attention to it at first, but when she heard her lift the curtain, he still couldn't help but speak.

She was carrying the light of the fire, her face was hidden in the dark, and she couldn't see it clearly. Gu Tingshu closed her eyes, and only when she opened them again did she get used to the light.

Although she didn't say it out loud, the word "greedy" was clearly written on her face and eyes.

Gu Tingshu avoided her shining eyes, and said in a non-negotiable tone: "You can't eat it."

Not only now, even if she is in good health, she can't eat any of the things that are roasting on the fire.

She used to eat light food with little oil. If she ate the heavy salt and oil, her body would definitely not be able to bear it.

Shen Qiqi didn't understand his second meaning, she only thought that in a few days when her injury healed, she could call Jinbao and Yinbao to bake it for her to eat.

"Cousin, don't you want to eat some?"

She stayed in the carriage because she couldn't eat. He could eat, but why didn't he stay there.

Gu Tingshu said "hmm", closed her eyes again regardless of whether she understood or not.

If he also went to eat, then she was the only one in the whole team who couldn't eat, and she was still aggrieved if she was accompanied by someone, but if she was alone, she might be so greedy that she would cry.
