Chapter 655 - The Tactics of Men

"I don't dare claim to be a godly doctor, but the medicinal cuisine and medicine made by the Yu’s are definitely excellent! You will not regret believing and trusting me!!" As long as Sir Su trusted her and cooperated with her, Yu Xiaocao was confident that she would be able to help him take good care of himself, "However... If Sir Su continues to stay in the palace, I'm afraid it might not be convenient... "
"The emperor has allowed me to leave the palace to recuperate. I set up a small courtyard near here a long time ago. It only takes around a quarter of an hour to walk to it from here... " As the eunuch in charge of the palace, the emperor's right-hand man, he naturally had the wealth to buy a residence outside.
Yu Xiaocao said with a smile, "That's great. You can tell me the location. After that, I'll send the cooked medicinal cuisine to you every day! To improve your health, you will have to take a variety of specially prescribed medications every day. Just taking the Thriving Vitality pills alone will make your recovery more slow."
"As long as I can recover around seventy to eighty percent compared to what I was before, I will even be willing to drink bitter Chinese goldthread soup every day." He only knew how to cherish his health once it was gone. The current Su Ran, after having a ray of hope at recovery, had emotions of anticipation and hope.
Xiaocao giggled and joked, "I didn't expect Sir Su to still have the habit of drinking Chinese goldthread soup. When I make your medicine, should I put in some Chinese goldthread to fulfill your hobby?"
"Bad girl! Who would like to eat something so bitter? Just go with what you prescribed, don't put anything else in. I'm old and can't afford to be messed with." Su Ran glared at the mischievous lass and the corner of his mouth could help but turn up into a little smile.
Yu Xiaocao made a cute face at him and said with a smile, "Don't worry! I wouldn't dare to trouble you, Sir Su! I have always respected you."
'If no one loaned you the courage, wouldn't you still be able to make fun of me? You say you don't have the courage? Who would believe you? You're someone who dares to bargain and mess around with the emperor!' Su Ran roasted her in his mind.
"Don't you think you should drink the medicinal soup while it's hot? If you send it over, I'm afraid it’s likely that some medicine might be spilled. I'd better come here every day. " Su Ran was aware that his originally cold iron heart was gradually beginning to soften and warm up. It was getting closer to those of ordinary people.
That cold and small residence, even if the layout was more gorgeous, had no sense of home. The Yu's Residence was simple with warmth, low-key mixed with excitement, was this what a home was like? He was getting more and more attached to the lass that brought him warmth...
"That's good! However, you should stay in bed and recuperate right now, can you stand going back and forth like this?" Yu Xiaocao also took his left hand to check his secondary pulse. His pulse was very chaotic and weak. Even an amature like her could diagnose that his current condition was not optimistic.
Seeing the care in Xiaocao's eyes, Su Ran felt a heat stream attack his heart. He nodded slowly and said, "It's not like I'm walking over. Lying on the bed every day as if I’m waiting for death will make a person think about everything and be depressed, which isn't conducive to recovery. It's good to get out and walk about. The emperor has said, 'Life lies in moving around’. This quote is quite reasonable."
‘Of course it made sense. He plagiarized the achievements of his predecessors!’ Yu Xiaocao silently complained about it. However, since he insisted, she had to order her servants to prepare a room for Sir Su's recovery in the outer courtyard of the estate. In this way, he could come in the morning and go back in the evening, so as not to rush back and forth, which would not be beneficial to the recovery of his injury.
Zhu Junyang was upset, very upset by all of this! This old eunuch was so cunning, acting pitiful in front of the lass and winning the sympathy of Xiaocao. How big was his reputation? Letting the future Princess Consort Xu personally concoct and make medicinal cuisine for him?
He himself wasn't willing to order the little girl about, but the eunuch, on the other hand, was coming over three times a day to get a meal. This ticked him off. He didn't even have this type treatment, yet this old stinky eunuch had taken over the attention of his lass. If he had known this would happen, he wouldn't have taken out the medicine to save this annoying guy!
Zhu Junyang snorted coldly and said, "Lass, it seems that there is something wrong with your decision. If you think about it, you're the master of Yu's Estate, and you are still a girl. Chief Steward Su Ran, after all, is a man. Having him coming in and out of Yu's Residence so often is harmful to your reputation... "
Su Ran raised his eyebrows, glanced at him provocatively, and said, "Your Highness, your worries are not unreasonable. However, in front of the emperor, I still have a bit of influence. If the emperor knew that the lass, Xiaocao, can cure my body, he should agree with the lass to take care of me. At that time, Royal Princess Jinan will be ordered to treat me. A doctor gives her patients care, so others will not dare to talk about it again. "
‘You’re so shameless, asking my lass to help take care of your body, have you asked her future husband, me?’ Zhu Junyang felt that he was about to blow up. He would like to drag this hateful guy out and beat him violently, regardless of life or death!
Xiaocao naturally knew that his vinegar jar had been turned over again and hurriedly said, "This is not a trivial matter. It's not a time to have a childish temper. If Sir Su's body is not nourished in time, it may hinder his life span. Sir Su is loyal to the emperor, devoted to the court, and has helped me a lot. Since I have this ability, I can't just ignore it! "
"Lass, your medicinal skills must have improved again. What you've said is still too courteous. The imperial physician said that my body, even if provided with good medicines and supplements, can't survive pass five years and I also have to stay in bed. I've thought about it, if I have to stay in bed like a piece of trash, then it would be better to die at once, nice and clean!" Su Ran deliberately said this purposefully and successfully won Xiaocao's sympathy.
Xiaocao looked at him tearfully and shook her head. "Sir, don't have this idea anymore. You can rest assured that since I said that I can take care of your health, I will certainly cure you! The premise is that you have to be a cooperative patient!"
"Alright! I promise I will be the most cooperative injured patient in the world!" Su Ran patted his chest for assurance, hesitated for a moment, and he asked, "If I cooperate fully with the treatment, how many years can I live? Ten more years...is that possible?"
Not that he was afraid of death, ever since he chose this road, he always regarded each day as the last day of life. He asked but it was only for the warmth of love in life, he was just reluctant to let the lass be sad for him.
"Sir Su, you look down on me too much!" Yu Xiaocao smiled through her tears, took out a common Thriving Vitality pill to let him take it, then continued, "Rest assured, as long as Yu Xiaocao is here, the King of Hell will have no chance to take you. According to my method, after a year and a half of recuperation, the injury will be cured. If there are no other accidents and diseases, it'll be possible to live a hundred years!"
The lass's confident look was so lively and lovely, Su Ran could not help but show a genuine smile. Long life, a hundred years old, was of little significance to him before. At this moment, he was eager to fulfill this wish. This way, he can witness her get married, have children and her children grow up day by day, and then accompany her in a distant place to grow old together...
"Lass, don't forget that we will be married in less than half a year. During this period, there are many things to prepare, which are very complicated, and you won't be able to handle it. Look...how about I come and give you a hand?" A normal man would not be willing to have the opposite-sex appear next to his future wife, and at such close contact at that. No, he had to watch from the side.
"How come I remember that married men and women cannot meet before marriage?" Su Ran covered his chest and coughed gently two times. Well, just after the Thriving Vitality pill was eaten, he felt more comfortable. At least when he coughed, it no longer felt like ten thousand arrows were piercing his heart.
Zhu Junyang stared at him fiercely with anger and pulled a long face, "The custom of marriage is that two days before marriage, the couple should not meet. Is there not half a year left? Why can't we meet? Moreover, many things are inconvenient for Xiaocao to do. Caring for a male patient, but men and women should have boundaries. However, this prince can do it on her behalf."
"Come on! Didn't you say after the marriage, we can move into the residence that the emperor bestowed upon you and the two of us can close the doors and live our daily lives? How many years has it been since that residence had someone live there? Shouldn't there be some repairs or maintenance done? The main courtyard we will live in, shouldn't it be arranged according to our preferences so we can live comfortably? As you said, with half a year to go, it's only enough time to rush the renovations on residence. When do you have the time to care for Sir Su?" In Yu Xiaocao's mind, there was a feeling of helplessness; there was nothing she could do about this narrow-minded and petty man.
Listening to the series of 'our daily lives’ and ‘the courtyard where we live’ and 'ours’, Zhu Junyang was almost so happy that he almost became dizzy with glee. What the lass said was very correct, no matter how bad the damn old eunuch was, Xiaocao belonged to him after all. Hmph! When they got married, Imperial Prince Xu’s Estate would definitely keep that fellow out!! Unfortunately, after marriage, he was not the head of the family!
"That's all right, I keep so many people under me. They weren't there to just eat food. As long as I visit once a day, what do I have to do personally?" Zhu Junyang had not yet returned from the imagination of their future couple's world, and he had a silly smile on his lips.
"I don't need you here either! My father sent a letter saying that he and my mother, as well as my brother and sister-in-law, will arrive in the capital after the New Years. They will help at that time. If there’s anything that they don't understand, isn't there still my godmother and godfather?" Yu Xiaocao felt that if Zhu Junyang came, besides adding confusion, he really wouldn't play a big role.
"Your godfather? Is he not going to the border garrison?" Zhu Junyang disappointedly muttered.
"Godfather has asked the emperor for a favor. When he finishes attending our wedding, he will go to the frontline. Godfather has said that I'm his precious goddaughter and he couldn't miss my marriage. He was afraid that the emperor wouldn't agree and even squeezed out a few crocodile tears in front of him!"
