Xiao Chong: The Abandoned Concubine Shocks the World

Chapter 25: Applying Medicinal Oil

He Zhenghan was extremely efficient, so he went to the Martial Arts Hall the next day. He Zhenghan pointed to a middle-aged woman, "This is Master Duan, the fifth-generation heir of the Duan family's Jiu Duan Jin, Ah Tong, present to Master Duan." .”

Yao Tong knew that in this era, masters who taught kung fu were extremely respected. Seeing He Zhenghan's solemnity, he knew that this master Duan should be a capable person, and he didn't just perfunctory her, otherwise, if the female relatives of a wealthy family learned it like a game He Zhenghan wouldn't let her show respect to Master Duan with some flamboyant fists and embroidered legs.

Yao Tong performed a gift for a disciple to meet his master.

That Master Duan accepted the gift with an unchanged expression, and then he bowed to He Zhenghan, "This subordinate will obey the order of your son."

"Madam, if the shot is heavy, please also Madam Haihan." This is to Yao Tong.

He Zhenghan nodded, "The next door has been cleaned up, Ah Tong, you and Master Duan will go there to practice kung fu in the future."

Yao Tong was ready to endure hardships, but she didn't expect that after only one day, she would be exhausted and her muscles were sore, and even when she went back, she would be carried by the maid.

After taking a bath at night, Yao Tong lay limp on the bed, and Jin Xia came in holding a porcelain bottle.

"Madam, this is the medicated oil sent by Master Duan. It is said to relieve pain."

Yao Tong gritted her teeth and stood up. There were Jinxia, ​​Zidian, and Qingshuang beside her, but they all had injuries on their hands, so they couldn't do the job of applying medicine.

"Find a tight-lipped maid over here."

The new maid gave her the medicine gently, even so, Yao Tong also broke out in sweat and fell into a deep sleep.

On the second day, Yao Tong was in more pain.

On the third day, Yao Tong was in pain.

On the fourth day, Yao Tong lay on the bed and asked the maid to apply the medicine. At this time, she wanted to close her five senses, so when there was sudden silence behind her, she didn't know what happened.

He Zhenghan waved his hand to dismiss the servant girl. He had seen her condition in the past three days, so it shouldn't have been the case. He used the medicine frequently. He took it before going to bed. After one night, most of the fatigue in his body disappeared. will have no effect.

Seeing the maid's action of applying the medicine, he knew what the problem was. The medicine had to be rubbed vigorously in order for it to work. It's no wonder that the maid's gentle movements that seemed to be rubbing water were effective.

He Zhenghan cleaned his hands carefully, and prepared to apply medicine to her himself.

Drying his hands with a Songjiang cloth, and roasting them on the smoker, He Zhenghan poured the medicinal oil into the palms of his hands and rubbed them together so that the medicinal oil evenly covered the entire palm.

In the dead of night, Yao Tong was lying on the bed with his face buried under the soft pillow. This application of medicine was like an injection, and waiting for the first injection was the most painful, but this time, the wait was especially long.

"Xiaoxi, what's the matter?" The voice muffled on the pillow was hoarse.

He Zhenghan paused, without making a sound, and sat on the edge of the bed very lightly, bent down a little, and put his hands on her delicate and fair shoulders.

As He Zheng's fiery palm fell on her skin, Yao Tong trembled unconsciously.

The big palms vigorously rubbed the tangled tendons on her shoulders, each pressing on the sore place.

"what……"

Yao Tong cried out in pain, why is Xiaoxi's hands so strong?
As soon as she made a sound, there was a pause in the rubbing and pressing movements, and Yao Tong immediately said in a low voice, "Go on, don't stop..."

Those few strokes just now, although painful, made her heavy shoulders feel relaxed, and it seemed that she pressed on the right place.

He Zhenghan took a deep breath, and followed the direction of the bones and tendons with both hands, from top to bottom, kneading and pressing little by little, each stroke was very hard, Yao Tong felt the burning pain, the soreness was unspeakably painful, and there was lightness Comfortable, with soreness in the pain, she closed her eyes tightly, clutched the pillow tightly with her fingers, and hummed uncontrollably.

After pressing his back, He Zhenghan wiped his sweat with his cuff, smiled wryly, he sweated no less than her.

"Turn over."

The deep and hoarse male voice was like thunder, and Yao Tong's heartbeat stopped for a moment. He turned his head in horror and looked at the tall and stalwart man behind him in shock.

Not Xiaoxi?

The one who massaged and applied medicine to her just now was... He Zhenghan...

"The tendons on the legs should also be stretched, turn over."

He Zhenghan coughed lightly, but when he spoke again, his voice was still so low and hoarse, his brows furrowed, his face was serious, he looked at Yao Tong seriously, and tried his best to break the ambiguous atmosphere.

Yao Tong's heart was up and down, and he felt uncomfortable as if he was on fire.

But there were bursts of cramping pain in the leg, reminding myself that now is not the time to be shy.

Fortunately, the soft gauze quilt was covering her waist, she hastily pulled it up a little higher, and tied it to her chest like a bath towel.

He Zhenghan turned his back on the gentleman, and heard a rustling sound in his ears, and his body became hotter. He closed his eyes deeply, and silently recited the "Tao Te Ching". Turning around quickly, she slowly sat on the footrest beside the bed, and quietly closed her legs.

Yao Tong lowered his eyes, staring three inches below his eyes.

He Zhenghan's hands were extremely strong, and the tendons on his legs were so hardened that Yao Tong's eyes were reddened by the pain, but he clenched his lips tightly and did not make a sound, but his body trembled uncontrollably.

He Zhenghan heard her rapid breathing and suppressed sobs, and cursed secretly, feeling even worse.

After finally rubbing the tendons on her legs, He Zhenghan felt that he was more tired than fighting a battle, so he said, "Sleep, and most of the pain will disappear tomorrow." He left in a hurry.

The next day, Yao Tong really felt that his body was much lighter, and he followed Master Duan's stride, and his center of gravity was much more stable, and he was no longer teetering because of the swelling and pain in his legs.

It's just that when she saw He Zhenghan, she couldn't help but blush and embarrassed, but she realized that the same medicine, different people's application methods, and the effect are very different, so she sincerely thanked him and said that she will work hard in the future. up.

He Zhenghan was noncommittal, but still applied medicine to her at night.

Except for Jinxia, ​​who was serving Yao Tong personally, they knew that the son was coming every day, and they just rubbed medicine for his wife, nothing else.

But when this matter fell into the eyes of others, it was not the case. They only saw that the Elder Son would enter Mrs. Yao's room day and night, staying for nearly an hour, so people couldn't help but think about it.

Rumors always travel the fastest.

On the [-]th day of the twelfth lunar month, Yao Tong was a little disappointed not to see He Zhenghan in the Martial Arts Hall.

"Today is the son's birthday. Last night, I went back to the palace."

Yao Tong knew that today was his birthday, and she had prepared a birthday gift for him, but... this gift might not be delivered until tomorrow...

Unexpectedly, in the afternoon, a luxurious carriage with the emblem of Prince Ji's Mansion stopped in front of the courtyard.

"This old slave greets Mrs. Yao." The old lady who came this time had a round face and a natural smile, "Today is the 24th birthday of the son, it is a big day in our Jizhou, and the palace held a banquet. Ma'am It is also a great credit to serve the son. The concubines and concubines in the palace said that the son is cold-tempered, and there is no one around him who knows the cold and the hot. They are elders, and they are always concerned. Now that the wife is serving, The two elders felt relieved, and they both recited Madam's merits. Today, the old slave is asked to pick up Madam, and the two elders will take a good look at Madam."

Yao Tong saw Mo Song, a young servant who was waiting by He Zhenghan's side, and knew that he couldn't shirk, so he had to exchange polite words with this well-mannered old woman with a smile on her face, dressed up, and did it. The carriage went to Prince Ji's Mansion.
