Quick Wear: The first person to love the host

Chapter 411 The Substitute Bride Becomes a Reality (12)

"Your Highness, please bear with it!! Doctor Jiang will be here soon." Su Ziyu was being squeezed so tightly that she could hardly breathe, but she still spoke tremblingly.

Qi Jinyu buried her face in Su Ziyu's long neck, greedily inhaling his fragrance, "So fragrant!!!"

Reason and desire are locked in a struggle at the limit.

He knew in his heart that he was in extreme danger and had to release Su Ziyu as soon as possible to hide back in the iron cage before his headache completely flared up. But his hands wouldn't obey him; he just wanted to pull the person in his arms into his very bones.

"What, it smells good? If it smells good, then smell it more."

Su Ziyu subconsciously pushed his collarbone up a little. At this moment, his survival instinct kicked in, and he lowered his bottom line again and again. As long as Qi Jinyu didn't go crazy, everything would be fine.

After all, he didn't have his sister's protagonist aura; being choked meant certain death for him.

Qi Jinyu was in a daze, but for some reason, the medicinal fragrance on Su Ziyu's body seemed to relieve her headache quite a bit.

While comforting Qi Jinyu, Su Ziyu also had to consider that today's events must not be known to outsiders. If word got out that the prince had a mental illness, he would be forever barred from the throne.

In his haste, he ordered Liu Ye to find Doctor Jiang. The servants in the main courtyard probably all heard it, and it won't be long before everyone in the mansion knows.

Given that the steward embezzled public funds, his loyalty is questionable.

We still need to be careful at this point.

When Doctor Jiang arrived with a medicine box on his back, Su Ziyu pulled Qi Jinyu into her arms, coughing softly incessantly, and extended her hand to ask Doctor Jiang to take her pulse. At the same time, she instructed Liu Ye that if anyone else asked, she should say that her cold had worsened.

Liu Ye immediately understood, left the house, and guarded the door.

As soon as the door closed, Su Ziyu immediately withdrew his hand, revealing the person in his arms. "Doctor Jiang, please take a look at His Highness. His Highness's eyes have suddenly turned red, and his emotions are very strange."

Qi Jinyu opened her eyes. "Dr. Jiang, please knock me out."

Seeing the two embracing each other intimately, Doctor Jiang was amazed. As he took out his silver needles, he instructed, "Please hold His Highness tight, Your Highness, while I give him a few acupuncture needles."

How many times has this happened?

Every time Qi Jinyu's headache flares up, she becomes extremely aggressive, making it impossible for him to get even half a step close to treat her. This is the first time he has managed to retain his sanity during a headache flare-up.

They said they would give her a few needle pricks, but in reality, Qi Jinyu's head was quickly turned into a hedgehog of needles.

The finger-length needle was twisted into her head, making Su Ziyu's scalp tingle. She instantly realized that the incredibly bitter Chinese medicine that Dr. Jiang had given her a few days ago was actually a sign of mercy.

Su Ziyu turned her head away, unable to bear to look, while Qi Jinyu felt that the pain of acupuncture was nothing compared to his headache. He slumped down and rested his head on his wife's neck.

If each time my headache flares up in the future, instead of being chained up in a cage, I can hold my sweet and soft wife in my arms, it's not unbearable.

Qi Jinyu tried to find joy even in hardship.

Doctor Jiang hadn't forgotten that this was under the guise of examining Su Ziyu. After administering acupuncture, he immediately took Su Ziyu's pulse, wrote a prescription, and went out to have Liu Ye find someone to prepare the medicine.

Back inside, Dr. Jiang stroked his beard, finally able to relax and wonder why Qi Jinyu was able to remain rational during her headache.

Su Ziyu couldn't answer this question, so he turned his gaze to the person in his arms.

Qi Jinyu took a light sniff, and a faint fragrance emanated from the lady. "It's probably because the lady has a fragrance!"

Su Ziyu: ???

Is this answer some kind of rude or offensive response?!

Even though Su Ziyu was shameless enough, he still couldn't stand the curious gaze of Doctor Jiang and secretly pinched Qi Jinyu's waist and abdomen. "Doctor Jiang, don't listen to his nonsense, he's not right in the head."

Doctor Jiang waved his hand, "His Highness never jokes. Perhaps it really is the scent on the Imperial Concubine that has such a miraculous effect."

As he spoke, he actually intended to come over and smell it himself, but as soon as he poked his head out, Qi Jinyu reached out and blocked him, making him grumble in anger.

"How old am I? And you're still jealous like this? Do you even want your headache to get better?"

Qi Jinyu wouldn't listen.

He will protect the lady's innocence, and no one but him will be allowed to take advantage of her.

Seeing his nonchalant attitude, like a dead pig unafraid of boiling water, Doctor Jiang really wanted to stab him ten or eight more times to teach him a lesson that doctors are not to be trifled with.

Su Ziyu raised her hand and smelled herself. She did have a medicinal scent, but that was because the original owner was weak all year round and had to take medicine.

In other words, it's been marinated thoroughly.

Su Ziyu said this, and after listening, Doctor Jiang asked him what medicine he had been taking before, and whether he still had the prescription.

Su Ziyu dictated it to her.

Upon hearing that the prescription contained various precious medicinal herbs, and that one dose was worth over a thousand taels of silver, Doctor Jiang's gaze towards Su Ziyu immediately changed.

It doesn't matter who you work for, why not choose a rich doctor?

Doctor Jiang stroked his beard, revealing a fawning smile. "Your Highness, do you still need a personal physician? What do you think of me? I can't guarantee I can cure your weakness, but I can at least help you live past seventy. All you need to do is provide me with the medicinal herbs I want."

Qi Jinyu glanced at him and said, "My wife and I are one."

The implication was clear: don't even think about taking advantage of his wife.

This was the first time Su Ziyu had encountered someone offering to switch jobs right in front of the original owner. Knowing the importance of Doctor Jiang, he didn't refuse outright. "Doctor Jiang, what are you saying? As long as you stay, His Highness and I will take care of you in your old age. If you need anything later, just write a list and I'll have someone prepare it for you."

Upon hearing this, Doctor Jiang immediately nodded, "Then I thank Your Highness."

After he finished speaking, he glanced at Qi Jinyu.

The implication was as if to say, "Look, the imperial concubine is truly dignified."

Half an hour later, Dr. Jiang removed the needles from Qi Jinyu.

At this moment, Qi Jinyu's eyes had largely returned to their original color, and there was no trace of redness. Su Ziyu finally got out of his arms and stood beside him watching.

"Doctor Jiang, have you considered that His Highness might be poisoned?"

Upon hearing his question, Doctor Jiang first glanced at Qi Jinyu. Seeing that the other party did not stop him, he slowly sighed, "I have naturally considered it, but unfortunately, to this day we still have not found the cause of His Highness's headache."

Su Ziyu seemed to be deep in thought upon hearing this.

Qi Jinyu's condition resembled PTSD, commonly known as post-traumatic stress disorder, but it was also distinctly different; he seemed to be subtly losing control.

But if we're talking about poisoning, does anyone really think they'd use the same elaborate methods they employed against Consort Hua to deal with Qi Jinyu?

As soon as the thought crossed his mind, he suddenly thought of someone—Wang Shuo.

He noticed a faint, unusual fragrance emanating from the man in the study, and combined with the account book the butler had given him, it seemed quite plausible.

Qi Jinyu's eyes were fixed on Su Ziyu's face the whole time. Seeing that he not only didn't show any disgust, but also cared about her a lot, she felt extremely at ease.

The lady liked him.

very nice.

The feeling of being pampered by a wife is so sweet it makes you dizzy.

Qi Jinyu's wide grin was so exaggerated that even Doctor Jiang couldn't bear to look at her. After saying a few words, he picked up his medicine box and prepared to leave.

The young couple were in love, but it was this lonely old man who got hurt.
