Chapter 284 Just This Face
However, last month she also declared that she would never let Yi Moxu use her as the antidote for the Li Huo Eyes again.
no way……
Thinking to himself, Ye Qing'an spoke again: "Although Ye Qinghao plans to take you to Lingwu Pavilion today, given his suspicious nature, he certainly won't tell you about this beforehand."
"How about this, after the family banquet at the Ye residence tonight, you come with me to see the lanterns, and then I'll find an excuse to say that you have something important to do and won't be returning to the Ye residence tonight. You can come back to the Ye residence tomorrow, and tomorrow night, Ye Qinghao will take you to Lingwu Pavilion."
While Ye Qing'an was speaking, Yi Moxu kept looking at her.
After Ye Qing'an finished speaking, it took a long time before Yi Moxu chuckled as if mocking himself, and then said in a deep voice, "Alright, then I can only trouble Miss Ye with everything."
Despite the simplicity of the sentence, Ye Qing'an detected a hint of sarcasm in it.
Ye Qing'an pretended not to hear and simply nodded absentmindedly: "Physician Xu, you don't need to be so polite."
As dawn broke, the faint sound of voices could be heard coming from inside the courtyard.
It was a servant in the courtyard; Ye Qing'an heard someone sweeping the courtyard.
Soon, Zixiao and Granny Wei's voices rang out one after the other: "Prepare some water for Miss to wash her face."
Ye Qing'an stood up: "Prince Duan, this play still has to be performed."
After Ye Qing'an finished speaking, he went straight to the bedside, took off his shoes and socks, and lay down.
Yi Moxu silently followed Ye Qing'an to the bed, then took off his outer robe and placed it on the stool beside the bed.
The two lay down on the couch, facing each other, without saying a word, creating an awkward atmosphere.
After a while, footsteps sounded outside the door. Judging from the footsteps, it should be Zixiao and Granny Wei.
Presumably thinking that Ye Qing'an had not yet woken up, the two kept their voices very low as they entered the room. They placed the water for washing in the bathroom, and then took out the clothes that they would be using to serve Ye Qing'an later from the trunk and came over to place them on the stool by the bed.
Granny Wei approached the stool with the clothes in her hand, and when she saw what was on the stool, she couldn't help but exclaim "Eh!"
"What is this?" Granny Wei muttered under her breath. "Yesterday, didn't Miss take off her outer robe in the washroom and have it taken directly to the laundry room?"
As she muttered to herself, Granny Wei picked up the garment and unfolded it to examine it. But what she saw made her freeze in shock: "This...this...this..."
Zixiao had just come out of the washroom when she heard the commotion from Wei Mama's side: "Mama, what's wrong?"
Granny Wei turned around, holding the garment, her face showing some panic: "This is..."
Zi Xiao stared intently and exclaimed, "This...this is a man's robe, isn't it?"
Zixiao looked at it carefully for a while, then suddenly covered her mouth.
"What are you doing?" Granny Wei asked, puzzled.
“This…this is Doctor Xu’s clothes. I saw Doctor Xu yesterday, and he was wearing this very garment.”
Granny Wei was also startled, her gaze fixed on the motionless bed curtains.
"This, this, this..."
Ye Qing'an and Yi Moxu overheard the conversation between the two outside. They exchanged a glance, and Ye Qing'an finally spoke softly, "Granny, have someone prepare hot water. I want to take a bath."
Ye Qing'an's voice startled both of them, and upon hearing the implication of her words, they were even more...
Wei Mama and Zixiao exchanged a glance before Wei Mama responded in a low voice. Wei Mama bit her lip, and although she understood the hidden meaning in Ye Qing'an's words, she still lowered her voice and tentatively asked, "Does Miss need me to prepare anything else?"
"Send someone to Xu Yixiu's courtyard again to fetch him a set of clothes."
Granny Wei's face trembled slightly; this was a done deal.
Last night, Doctor Xu entered her young lady's boudoir in the middle of the night and slept with her. Not only that, Doctor Xu is still on this bed now.
And now let the people in their courtyard go to Xu Yixiu's place to get a set of his clothes, and then bring them over.
If that were to happen, the entire household would probably know within half a day that their young lady and Doctor Xu had already slept together on the same bed.
But since Ye Qing'an had already given the order, Granny Wei dared not disobey and could only reply in a low voice, "Yes."
After replying, he tugged at Zixiao's hand again.
Zixiao quickly said, "Miss and Doctor Xu should rest for a while longer. I'll go and ask someone to prepare hot water and some other things for your bath."
After saying that, he hurriedly followed Granny Wei and left.
Behind the bed curtains, Ye Qing'an and Yi Moxu looked at each other without making a sound.
After a long while, Ye Qing'an finally spoke: "Get up."
Upon hearing Ye Qing'an's words, Yi Moxu sat up, slightly disheveled his inner garment, and then put on his shoes.
Ye Qing'an also sat up, sitting on the edge of the bed.
After a while, Granny Wei and Zixiao, along with the servants, carried hot water into the room.
As soon as the two entered, they looked up and saw Yi Moxu standing in the room, and were stunned again.
This person… how could this person be so… so alluring? And why is there a tattoo on their face? Aren't facial tattoos only for serious criminals of the imperial court?
"Who...who are you?"
Sitting on the edge of the bed, Ye Qing'an couldn't help but chuckle: "He is Xu Mo."
Both Granny Wei and Zixiao stared wide-eyed. Xu Mo? Xu the Physician?
Xu Yixiu, he actually looks like this?
But what about the tattoos on his face?
Ye Qing'an seemed to know what they were thinking, and casually said, "A few years ago, Xu Yixiu was bullied by powerful people and was convicted, leaving this tattoo on his face. Later, Xu Yixiu was exonerated and released from prison, but the tattoo on his face remained."
"It is because of this tattoo that Doctor Xu always wears a mask to avoid unnecessary trouble."
Zixiao and Granny Wei both understood; so that's how it is.
No wonder.
This tattooed person should have been imprisoned for life and not allowed to appear in public. Is this the reason?
But this face...
Granny Wei and Zixiao looked at Yimoxu's face and both thought to themselves, "Isn't this face a little too eerie?"
Yi Moxu stood aside and watched Ye Qing'an without saying a word.
A voice came from outside the door, and Granny Wei came to her senses: "The clothes for Physician Xu have been delivered. I'll go and bring them in."
"it is good."
Granny Wei quickly brought in the clothes, and on top of them was a mask.
Yi Moxu silently finished dressing before turning around and saying to Ye Qing'an in a hoarse voice, "I'm leaving now. You should rest well today."
