Chapter 336 - 336: The Dog Who Was Crippled
Getting up early in the morning, she had intended to leave promptly, but she did not act immediately. Instead, she sat beneath the tree in the courtyard of Leihua Courtyard, sipping her tea.
Mo’er approached and inquired, “Miss, weren’t we supposed to go to the western market to see the medicinal herbs? If we don’t depart soon, the sun today seems scorching.”
Liu Shimei glanced at her and said, “Wait a little longer.”
“What are we waiting for?” Mo’er asked, puzzled. “Mr. Zhong is waiting outside for us.”
With an expert like Zhong Lang protecting them, all of them felt much more at ease.
Before Liu Shimei could respond, Lianqiao chimed in, “Naturally, we’re waiting to see if King Dun Yu will come.”
Mo’er was speechless.
She really wanted to say: 1 must be a pig!
As it turned out, Liu Shimei’s waiting was justified. After sipping a cup of tea, her exclusive husky did indeed arrive, like clockwork!
“Wife, I’m here!”
Liu Shimei’s initially calm expression immediately blossomed into a smile. She stood up and looked towards him.
However, today’s husky was not as vigorous as usual. He walked with a slightly odd limp and did not rush toward her like he usually did. He looked like a dog with a leg injury!
The smile on her face faded a bit. She walked over, held his hand, and asked, “What happened? Did you get into a fight? Are you seriously hurt? Let me see!”
Several consecutive questions, all filled with concern.
Huangfu Lingyao’s mood lightened. Enduring such pain and even going on a hunger strike was worth it to be able to leave the palace.
“It’s nothing, just took a beating, I’ll be fine after resting a bit.” He grinned, “1 have thick skin and can take a punch!”
Liu Shimei believed that his skin was thick and durable.
Silly Second Prince had probably been fighting all these years, or on the way to fighting, so he had many injuries on his body.
Most of them were hidden injuries, fewer were open wounds, and even fewer would scar if the true skin tissue was damaged.
“Let me take a look.” Liu Shimei said patiently, “You know 1 have medical knowledge; I can help treat your injuries.”
Huangfu Lingyao looked a bit embarrassed. He tentatively asked, “Wife, are you really going to examine my buttocks?”
He thought, If you’re willing, 1 certainly don’t mind!
Liu Shimei was speechless.
She decisively decided not to look. She asked, “Did the imperial physician see you?”
“Physician Shu took a look at me.” Huangfu Lingyao said pitifully, “Wife, won’t you help me check?”
Liu Shimei’s intuition told her that the silly dog was doing it on purpose. He was deliberately teasing her!
Liu Shimei had an intuitive feeling that the silly dog was deliberately messing with her. But then she thought, since he’s the silly dog, how could he possibly tease her about something like this or flirt verbally?
Thinking this way, she changed the topic and asked, “Can you still walk?”
“I can, just a bit slower.” Seeing her expression, Huangfu Lingyao didn’t want to reveal too much, so he smiled and asked, “Wife, are you planning to go out today? Will you take me with you?”
Liu Shimei had been thinking that he probably got a whipping and his injuries had not healed yet, so she should not take him out, especially since she had plans to go around.
Running a medical clinic was urgent, but personal matters, however pressing, should not override a person’s wellbeing. It was better to reschedule.
But then Huangfu Lingyao continued, “Wife, take me with you. I promise to be well-behaved and not cause a scene!”
Liu Shimei had not made up her mind yet when he added, “We haven’t seen each other in several days.”
