Chu Qiao didn't know how to describe her mood at the moment when she raised her eyes and looked at the past. She wanted to win the cooking competition, stand firm, and win the job of delivering food, just to be able to see the man on Yuquan Mountain, even in her dreams.
I can dream that he is slowly walking towards me.
What she originally thought was difficult was accomplished easily the moment she raised her eyes.
He was standing resolutely behind the desk, wearing a blue brocade robe, holding a writing brush in his hand, and looked towards her.
His face is clearly cold and handsome; his deep eyes are glowing with an incomprehensible light; his thick eyebrows, high nose, and firm lips all express his nobility and elegance.
Is he actually the imperial doctor of the imperial hospital?
"Yes, it's you?"
Because everything happened so suddenly, Chu Qiao was shocked. Then she made a fatal mistake. With a shake of her hands, the lunch box fell off and fell to the ground with a crisp sound.
When she came to her senses and looked at the ground, the lunch box had been thrown open, the porcelain bowl was broken, the hot soup splashed out, and the heat instantly rose.
Chu Qiao couldn't dodge, and the eight-treasure tofu soup splashed directly onto her cotton skirt and penetrated instantly.
The cotton skirt clung to her legs tightly, and the heat hit her. She cried out in embarrassment, and hurriedly leaned over, shaking the skirt stuck to her legs, hoping that this would dissipate the heat.
But with this shake, the soup penetrated even more intensely.
"Don't move."
The man frowned, strode away, and walked out from behind the desk. He kicked the lunch box away, then squatted in front of Chu Qiao, and did something that made her very embarrassed.
He lifted up her skirt...
Is it possible for a man to lift a girl's skirt casually? That is absolutely not allowed. Chu Qiao blushed and tried to open his hand regardless of the pain.
"No, no need, I can do it myself." After all, she is considered a half-experienced doctor. She can handle this situation. She was just a little confused just now.
But the hand she waved out was firmly grasped by him, and a warning look came directly to her.
"A burn will make your skin peel and leave scars."
After saying that, he lifted up her skirt without any scruples, and even pulled up her close-fitting plain warm pants too much, exposing a small section of her fair calf. Chu Qiao's calf was already red because it was burnt by the hot soup.
piece.
"I really don't need you. It doesn't matter to me. I have thick skin and can withstand scalding."
Chu Qiao hurriedly pulled up her skirt and locked her calves. In fact, her skin was not thick at all. The scorching heat just now had already made her calves hurt. If she didn't wipe it immediately, she would be out in a short while.
Soaked in water.
But he still pressed her calf stubbornly to prevent her from retracting, and then said in a low voice: "It's already red, you must apply scalding medicine, otherwise it will become red, swollen and blistered, and your face and clothes will not be able to pass it tomorrow."
Already."
After saying this, the man let go of Chu Qiao's hand, stood up and strode back to the desk, picked up a red box, and after hesitating, he threw it over, then turned around,
Look at the names of the medicines on those medicine shelves.
The red box happened to fall at Chu Qiao's feet. She picked it up carefully and opened it. There was a white paste potion inside. When the lid was removed, a pungent smell of ice flakes penetrated her nostrils. This was indeed
Scald medicine.
Perhaps the smell of the medicine was too exciting, and Chu Qiao couldn't help but sneeze. He turned his eyes and smiled slightly.
Chu Qiao frowned, wondering what his smile meant? Was he laughing at her for being stupid? In fact, she was indeed stupid. How could she drop the lunch box by mistake?
Averting her gaze awkwardly, Chu Qiao dipped some on her finger and carefully applied it on her calf. The medicine was very cooling, and after applying it, the pain disappeared quickly.
"Take this medicine back and apply it morning and night." He whispered.
"Um……"
Chu Qiao pursed her lips and responded, her heart trembling inexplicably. Not only did he not blame her for spilling the meal, he also gave her the ointment. He was really a good person.
After putting down her pants and skirt, Chu Qiao slowly stood up and glanced at the lunch box on the ground. She was a little worried. What would she do if she went back later? She would be punished if she didn't do it right.
Just when Chu Qiao was extremely embarrassed and almost forgot the purpose of meeting this man, a young eunuch walked in outside the door. When he saw this scene, he first said "Oh my God", then stretched out his hands and spoke in a high-pitched voice.
cried out.
"You are such a bold slave, why did you knock over the meal given to Master Chong?"
"I didn't, didn't mean it...I just..."
Chu Qiao knew that she was going to be in bad luck this time, so she hurriedly explained, but the explanation was just normal, but she suddenly stopped, her eyes widened instantly, and she was even more surprised than when she saw this man just now.
What did the young eunuch say just now? Lord Chong? Is his surname Chong?
"You clumsy slave, did you drop the lunch box at noon and make Master Chong hungry?"
While the little eunuch was talking, he walked in and slapped her. He wanted to teach this little palace daughter a lesson.
But before the little eunuch's slap hit Chu Qiao's face, someone grabbed her wrist tightly. The little eunuch was about to get angry, but when he took a glance and realized that it was the man who grabbed him, he immediately restrained his anger.
"Master Chong, let me teach this ignorant girl a lesson for you."
"No need, this is the lunch box, I accidentally knocked it over." The man pushed the little eunuch's arm away, glanced at Chu Qiao's pale face, and said coldly.
"Chong, Lord Chong, it turns out it was a misunderstanding."
The little eunuch immediately forced a smile on his face. If Lord Chong knocked over the lunch box, it would be a different matter. So he put down his hand, glanced at Chu Qiao, and scolded in a low voice.
"Since the adulterer was the one who accidentally overturned it, why don't you clean it up quickly and send another one over when you go back?"
Seeing the little eunuch's cunning and cruel look, Chu Qiao really wanted to rush over, grab him by the collar, and give him a slap in the face with her backhand. Why didn't they tell her before that they were going to give this man food? If they had been prepared in advance
, why should she be so shocked?
But then she thought about it. Chu Qiao didn't even know his last name. Even if the little eunuch told her, she wouldn't have expected it to be him. Wouldn't it be just as shocking?
But why is his surname Chong? What is his relationship with the Chong family in the capital?
Chu Qiao casually responded to the little eunuch's words, but couldn't help but raise her eyes to glance at the man. When she found that his eyes were staring at her, she hurriedly avoided his gaze, leaned down, and cleaned up the things on the ground like a sergeant.
Endgame.
His surname is Chong, so does he know the sick man named Chong Ximo?
