Hand Medicine Fragrance

Chapter 138 Thinking Too Much

Chai Sujin looked in sideways, "Is he not at home?"

Brother Xuan was stunned for a moment, then suddenly said: "Oh, Master, he is resting."

"What are you resting for now? Take a nap before lunch?" Chai Sujin asked in surprise, "Besides, taking a nap in winter is too lazy."

Brother Xuan raised his finger and pointed to Ma Wenzhao's closed door, "He didn't know that sister came back, otherwise he would have to get up to greet her."

Chai Sujin snorted softly, "Who wants him to welcome you?"

Brother Xuan smiled and dragged Chai Sujin's hand, and walked towards Ma Wenzhao's door.

"If he is resting, there is no need to disturb him." Chai Sujin shook his head.

Brother Xuan insisted on moving forward, "It's time to get up and eat, he always gets up at this time these days!"

After finishing speaking, he knocked on the door of the room.

There was no answer for a long while.

Chai Sujin shook her head and said, "Maybe I haven't woken up yet!"

"It's time to wake him up!" Brother Xuan increased his strength and knocked on the door.

There were several coughs from inside, and after coughing for a while, a slightly hoarse voice responded: "Is it time to eat?"

Ma Wenzhao's voice was very familiar to her, but now it sounded hoarse and strange.

"What happened to him?" Chai Sujin asked in surprise.

Brother Xuan shook his head, "Since Master came back from the outside a few days ago and plunged into the house, it has become like this."

how many days ago?
The day the imperial physician Ling was assassinated and injured?

No wonder these days, she was waiting for him at the Imperial Physician's Mansion, but he never showed up.Could it be that he was also injured that day?

"Ma Wenzhao, you..." Chai Sujin raised her voice outside the door and asked, but she didn't know how to continue the question.

There was a loud bang in the room, as if something suddenly fell to the ground.

After a while, the door creaked open.

Ma Wenzhao's stunned face appeared at the door, "You, are you back?"

Chai Sujin looked up at him.

He had a green beard under his nose and lips, his eyes were bloodshot, and his handsome and angular face seemed to have lost a lot of weight unconsciously, and he was even more haggard and pale.

Chai Sujin didn't speak, but took a step forward, pulled his wrist, and put his hand on his veins.

Ma Wenzhao shrank his hands back.

Chai Sujin held his hand tightly.

"I'm fine!" Ma Wenzhao said shaking his head.

"Whether it's okay or not, it's not up to you, I'm the doctor!" Chai Sujin looked into his eyes.

Ma Wenzhao frowned, but under her gaze, he gave up struggling.

After taking the pulse, Chai Sujin withdrew her hand and took a slow breath.

"What's the matter, sister? Master, is he sick?" Brother Xuan asked with a frown, "No wonder I feel that Master's seclusion these two days seems to be a little abnormal. I thought he didn't want to face our inquiries and didn't want to explain. Too many, I think we are annoying...Master, why didn't you tell me that you were sick? Even if we are ignorant, we still know how to call a doctor for you?"

"Go back and lie down." Chai Sujin raised her finger and pointed into the room.

Ma Wenzhao shook his head while pulling the corners of his mouth, "It's rare for you to come back. We still need to have a reunion dinner together."

"Go and lie down." Chai Sujin's tone was beyond doubt.

Ma Wenzhao frowned, "No matter what you do, at any time, you don't listen to what others say, do you always insist on going your own way?"

Chai Sujin looked up at him, "Are you talking about me? I thought you were the kind of person."

Ma Wenzhao frowned.

"Isn't it? If not, why is it me who is doing well now, but...you are the one with a sick face?" She wanted to point out that he was injured, but when she saw Brother Xuan was still at the side, she changed her voice.

Ma Wenzhao shook his head, "It's a small matter."

He raised his hand to cover his chest, and walked into the hall.

Chai Sujin raised her hand and grabbed his sleeve, he staggered and almost failed to stand still.

Brother Xuan turned pale with shock, "Is Master already so weak?"

Ma Wenzhao sneered, "It's just that your sister used some skill, and I just didn't stand firm."

"I called Chunlu to bring you the food and give you acupuncture and pulse management. At this time, you have to listen to the doctor. No matter how strong you are in the past, you can't be brave now. Is it okay?" Chai Sujin slowed down her tone, It's kind of like coaxing children.

Ma Wenzhao looked back at her.

She actually had a coaxing smile on her face.

For a moment, he couldn't say anything that he wanted to forcefully reject.

After a long stalemate, he nodded, "Then you, too, have dinner together."

Brother Xuan laughed when he heard this, covered his mouth and ran away, "Master is acting like a spoiled child!"

Ma Wenzhaojun blushed, but stared at Chai Sujin without moving his eyes.

Chai Sujin nodded helplessly, "It's up to you."

Chunlu sent the food for the two to Ma Wenzhao's room.

Ma Wenzhao sat on the bed, making himself short.

Chai Sujin sat at the round table not far from the bed, eating quietly.

Holding the chopsticks, Ma Wenzhao turned his face to look at her from time to time, and then bowed his head to eat after silently smirking.

Chai Sujin ate quietly, as if she never turned her face to look at him, but from the corner of her eye, she could see his silly movements and demeanor.

She felt a little warm in her heart, but also a little guilty.

He was hurt because of her. Although it was his wishful thinking, she didn't beg him to do so.But after all, it helped her a lot.

She didn't even know he was hurt.Returning home this time was not to visit him, but to think about Brother Xuan Chunlu and the others.It was discovered by accident that he was seriously injured.

Putting down the chopsticks, Chai Sujin picked up the handkerchief and wiped her hands, then walked slowly to the bedside.

"I've used it." Ma Wenzhao also quickly put down the chopsticks.

"Thank you." Chai Sujin said slowly.

Ma Wenzhao shook his head with a smile, "Thank me for what? I didn't do anything for you."

Chai Sujin looked down at him, frowned slightly, "I'm not stupid, I understand what you did for me."

"It's my wishful thinking. The injury is because I am inferior to others. It has nothing to do with you. You don't have to feel guilty or thank me." Ma Wenzhao said with a smile.

Chai Sujin pursed her lips and looked at him, but didn't know what to say for a moment.

In the room with a faint bamboo fragrance, it was suddenly quiet as if there was no one there, only the cotton curtain slammed against the door frame.

"I still have to go." Chai Sujin said suddenly.

Ma Wenzhao froze, and looked up at her slowly, "What?"

"I'm not at the imperial physician's house now." For some reason, Chai Sujin was unwilling to look him directly in the eye. She looked away and looked at the pale green bed curtain, "I'm in the palace, seeing medicine for the Holy Majesty. If the holy dragon is in good health, I will be able to..."

"You are in the palace?" Ma Wenzhao sneered, "What is your identity in the palace? Chai Sujin, you treat everyone else as fools, don't you?"

There was too much questioning in his voice.

The atmosphere in the warm room immediately froze, making people feel dull even when breathing.

"You're thinking too much, I told you, I'm just making medicine for the Holy One." Chai Sujin's voice also cooled down.

Ma Wenzhao twitched the corners of his mouth, his chest seemed to be in severe pain, he raised his hand to hold his chest, "I'm overthinking? Oh, yes, I'm overthinking, you are still the old doctor Chai, not a girl of cardamom age! It’s nothing unusual to stay in the palace or by the Holy Majesty’s side! It’s me who made such a fuss! It’s my narrow-mindedness!”

Ma Wenzhao's burning eyes made Chai Sujin feel embarrassed.

She snorted coldly, "Unreasonable."

Turned around and walked out the door.

The cotton curtain fell with a clatter, and the door knocked against the door frame with a bang.

Ma Wenzhao frowned, he couldn't help hissing because of the pain in his chest, and gasped.

Shouldn't he be the one who should be angry?Why is she more angry than him?What is the place in the palace, how could he not understand?Even though he had never entered the palace of Great Zhou, he knew very well what the palace of Chu State was like.

No matter which dynasty or generation the emperor is, as long as he is a man, he has the same heart for the beauty sent to him.

In the eyes of the emperor, all the women in this world belong to him, let alone the ones who voluntarily send them to their door?
Ma Wenzhao frowned, his chest felt tight and painful, it was unknown whether it was because of the slap or the news she brought back.

Chunlu poked her head at the door.

He helplessly called out, "What are you doing? Say something quickly."

"Maidservant, come to collect the bowls and chopsticks!" Chunlu responded, and jumped into the house like a rabbit, quickly packed the bowls and chopsticks, and before walking to the door, she turned her face again, "Young Master Ma also misses my family very much. Miss? I see that the young master is no less worried about my young lady than we are, why is Mr. Ma going to make her angry as soon as the young lady comes back? Isn't this pushing my young lady further away?"

After Chunlu finished speaking, without waiting for his reaction, she bent out of the room.

"Isn't this pushing my lady farther away?" This sentence echoed in Ma Wenzhao's ears over and over again.

Ma Wenzhao frowned deeper and deeper, feeling restless.
