Forced love, an inescapable fate

The sound of the two people chatting and laughing reached Jiang Ci's ears, making Jiang Ci, who was already unable to sleep, inexplicably irritated.

Although he was young, he was mature beyond his years and always calm and composed. At this moment, the bursts of laughter outside the room reached his ears like a spell. Even if he covered his ears, it was of no use. The irritation in his heart made him feel the wound on his arm began to hurt. He also wanted to call Mu Qingli in from outside the room, and he wanted Su Minsheng, who had a gentle voice and a kind smile, to disappear quickly. He even regretted asking him to develop an antidote for him just now. He had some goodwill towards this young doctor just now, but now he had the urge to make him disappear.

Deep down in his heart, unconsciously, he thought that Mu Qingli's smile and Mu Qingli's tenderness should be directed at him.

Fortunately, the noise outside stopped after a short while.

Originally, Mu Qingli wanted to keep Su Minsheng for dinner, but Su Minsheng felt embarrassed and had to decline, saying that he had other things to do in the pharmacy. After Su Minsheng left, the smile on Mu Qingli's lips had not disappeared.

It must be said that the chat between the two was very pleasant. She originally thought that Su Minsheng blushed easily and was shy, and was probably not good at communicating with others, but after talking to him, she found that this person was not the case. He was also very talkative and sincere. Mu Qingli also had a very good impression of him.

Wanyue and Baiyu had actually been secretly observing the two of them. Seeing that Mu Qingli was still looking at the direction Su Minsheng left with a smile on her face after the other person left, Wanyue gently nudged Baiyu with her elbow.

"Hey, do you think Princess Qingli has fallen for that young doctor? He's clearly gone, but she's still standing there, grinning like a fool, like she's waiting for her husband."

Bai Yu agreed with what Wan Yue said because Mu Qingli's behavior did seem to be true.

He nodded in agreement: "Indeed, a little bit. They seemed quite happy chatting just now, but that's normal. Princess Qingli is not young anymore, and Doctor Su is also good-looking. It's normal for her to have a good impression of him."

Mu Qingli naturally didn't hear what the two said. If she knew what they were thinking, she would have to explain to them.

She just thought that the two of them were of similar age and could get along well. It was not what they thought. However, of course one had to look at good-looking people a few more times. She was very simple-minded, really.

Mu Qingli didn't turn around until Su Minsheng's figure disappeared. When Wanyue and Baiyu saw her turning around, they hurriedly pretended not to know each other and went about their own business.

Wanyue grew up in the Dark Guard Camp, so she is not very good at cooking. Baiyu, on the other hand, has been secretly following Jiang Ci in the past few years and has learned a lot of basic survival skills, such as cooking, which he is very good at.

At first, Wanyue was skeptical when he volunteered to cook, but when he made four dishes and a soup that looked quite good, Wanyue had to give him a thumbs up.

Mu Qingli followed the smell to the kitchen and was surprised to see Bai Yu showing off his skills.

"Mr. Bai, your cooking skills are amazing. You are good at kung fu, handsome, and can cook. The girl who marries you will definitely be very happy in the future."

Bai Yu was very pleased with Mu Qingli's compliment, but he still pretended to be calm and waved his hand.

"Miss, you're too kind. It's just a means of survival when traveling around the world. When you're away from home, having an extra skill is essential."

Jiang Ci was a patient, so naturally he couldn't eat with them. After they finished eating, Mu Qingli brought him the vegetable porridge prepared by Bai Yu, and she fed him again. This time, Jiang Ci didn't hesitate, and he naturally ate the vegetable porridge from her hand without leaving a drop.

But Mu Qingli always felt that he seemed a little unhappy, and didn't even talk to her. She thought it was because of the pain in his wound, but she still gave him a few gentle instructions before leaving.

......

At night, when the sound of the night watchman came, Mu Qingli had already fallen into a deep sleep. At this time, even if someone carried her out of the bed, she would not wake up.

The courtyard was silent, with only the chirping of unknown insects.

Jiang Ci's room was lit. Bai Yu and Wan Yue both stood with their heads down in front of Jiang Ci, who was sitting on the bed with his clothes draped over him.

Jiang Ci didn't say anything, and the two of them didn't dare to say anything either. The atmosphere was a bit heavy.

Just when Wanyue felt that her neck was too sore to bear, she heard the boy's voice, which was obviously a little hoarse.

"You are becoming more and more daring. Do you think you can ignore the orders of my master?"

Although the voice was not angry and was even a little calm, Bai Yu felt his heart tremble. He knew that he had made the young master angry because he appeared in front of Mu Qingli without permission.

"Master, it was my fault. I made the decision without your consent. The situation was urgent, and I was afraid Wanyue wouldn't be able to handle it, so I came up with this idea on my own initiative. I hope Master will atone for my sin."

He didn't say that it was Wanyue's idea, which surprised Wanyue a little.

Although Wanyue is a woman and has joined the Dark Guard Camp, she is actually a very loyal person. Naturally, she would not let Baiyu bear the responsibility alone at this time.

So I spoke immediately.

"Master, this was actually my idea. I asked Chief Bai to do this. If you want to punish me, punish me..."

"You two seem to have a mutual understanding. Fortunately, Mu Qingli didn't notice this time, so my plan wasn't ruined. But don't show your hand again in the future. I won't punish you for now. Now I have something for you. Send someone to secretly follow Doctor Su and find out his background and who he usually interacts with. He's not an ordinary person. I want to know everything he does. He also has a way to suppress the poison in my body. If he needs any medicinal herbs in the future, have someone cooperate fully."

Bai Yu was not surprised that Jiang Ci did not punish the two of them. After years of contact with Jiang Ci, he was very familiar with Jiang Ci's style of doing things. He knew that he would not punish himself and Wan Yue for this incident. Although his master was not very old, he was always calm and efficient in doing things. Although he had clear rewards and punishments, it also depended on the situation.

During the years in the Qi royal family, Bai Yu also knew Jiang Ci's difficult situation, and he witnessed Jiang Ci's step-by-step journey to where he is today. If he had not been cautious and careful at every step, he would never have survived to this day.

So most of the time, Bai Yu actually felt sympathetic towards this thirteen-year-old boy. He also knew that the boy actually had a tender heart under his seemingly cold and ruthless appearance, but he had to disguise himself in reality.
