The girl in front of her raised her chin slightly and her expression was relaxed, showing a completely trusting posture.
There were red marks all over her face, which made her petal-like lips look even more delicate. With her face raised like this, she seemed to be silently pleading for some kind of secret.
Mo Jingyu suddenly felt his throat felt dry.
Chu Qingwan blinked in confusion: "My lord, what are you waiting for?"
The distance was very close, and the clearness in her eyes could be seen clearly, like sparkling autumn waves. At the moment, she was a little confused, and like an ignorant cub, poking at people without knowing it.
Mo Jingyu's voice was a little hoarse: "Close your eyes."
Chu Qingwan's eyes were somewhat affected, and he closed his eyes obediently after hearing the words.
Mo Jingyu pursed his lower lip, then dug out some ointment, rubbed it on his fingertips, and applied it to his face.
"Hiss—" The ointment was cold and stung a little. Chu Qingwan took a breath and said, "Take it easy."
Mo Jingyu softened his movements, as if there was nothing there, almost teasing.
He was very careful, so he had to get closer to her. His warm breath and fingertips brushed against his cheek, and Chu Qingwan's eyelashes trembled rapidly a few times.
After applying the medicine, the three little ones disappeared without knowing when. Chu Qingwan opened his eyes, feeling unwell for no reason: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Mo Jingyu picked up the handkerchief on the desk and wiped his hands: "It takes a little effort."
Chu Qingwan put the ointment back to its original place, pushed him out, and went to the palace to treat him.
When it was time to leave, Mo Jingyu warned: "Don't get your face wet."
She is a doctor herself, so why should he say such a thing?
Chu Qingwan was thinking this in her heart, but she was smiling on her face: "I know."
****
The ointment was very effective. When I woke up the next day, the redness and swelling on Chu Qingwan's face had subsided, but it still looked unsightly.
Looking around, she felt unhappy, so she didn't want to go out, so she asked Ling Han to go to Lanlingzhai to take care of the students for a day.
She had nothing to do, so the three little ones dragged her to stay in the palace.
Chu Qingwan raised his eyebrows: "Is it because our yard is not big enough? Is it because the scenery in our house is not beautiful enough? Is it because there are not enough people in our yard?"
Why do you like to stay in the palace?
The three little ones nodded in unison: "Yes."
"Our home is not as spacious as the royal palace."
"We don't have this kind of flower in the palace garden."
"The palace guards are good-looking."
Chu Qingwan twitched the corner of her mouth and stretched out her hand to scrape the bridge of Tiantian's nose: "Can he be prettier than your brother Wei Zhan?"
Tiantian shook her head: "No, brother Wei Zhan is prettier than them."
Mo Jing looked at Lin Yu beside him and asked silently: Who is Wei Zhan? How could he catch Chu Qingwan's eyes and let him praise him for his good looks?
Lin Yu whispered: "He is the nurse from Divine Doctor Chu's house."
Wouldn't it be like seeing the sky wandering in front of Chu Qingwan?
Mo Jingyu said coldly: "Have I asked you this?"
Lin Yu: "..."
"Mom, I'm going over there to play."
Tiantian followed in the footsteps of her two brothers and ran to the pond, where she was pulled by the guards to pick lotus flowers.
Chu Qingwan watched them in the pavilion, with tenderness written on the corners of his eyebrows.
Mo Jingyu talked to her one after another and asked her: "Aren't you busy with anything else today?"
Chu Qingwan nodded.
Mo Jingyu asked again: "Where is your other patient?"
Chu Qingwan replied: "He is in stable condition and recovering well. He does not need me to take care of him all the time."
Speaking of this, she couldn't help but think of the jade ingot placed in her room.
The gift is not expensive, but the words are carved with care. Every time Chu Qingwan sees them, he always thinks of Chu Qi's words.
She had to admit that she was not as calm as she appeared, and those words had an impact on her.
Chu Qi holds a sincere heart and longs to be accepted, just like she was five years ago.
Thinking of this, Chu Qingwan suddenly felt the same thing. Looking at the three little ones having fun, his heart was shaken.
It's just a meeting, and there won't be any missing meat, so why not let the three little ones go and see him?
