The Cold King Demands Love and Pleasure

Xia Tongsheng fell silent completely, and saying just one more sentence sent her straight to the end!

This old man must still be holding a grudge against Xia Tongsheng for not holding that woman down properly, which caused him to take a punch for no reason.

But I was truly wronged.

She had no choice but to obediently sit in the last row and wait.

The doctor brought over a young apprentice, "Yuqian, go outside and write down: Closed today!"

"Yes, Master!" the apprentice replied in a low voice.

Xia Tongsheng had no idea what the old doctor was up to. He ran a pharmacy to treat patients, so why was he stopping treating patients before noon?

It was finally Xia Tongsheng's turn. She walked to the stool in front of the doctor and sat down. The doctor glanced at her and asked, "Didn't you see the sign outside that says we're closed today?"

"Doctor, I arrived this morning!"

The doctor stood up. "I don't care when you arrived. I'm not in a good mood today and I'm not seeing any patients!"

Xia Tongsheng was a little angry. She had waited here for so long, and this was the result!

"Doctor, are you deliberately messing with me?"

He shook his head. "No!"

"I've waited so long, why haven't you treated my illness?!"

The doctor glanced at her and said, "There's no reason! I simply don't want to!"

Xia Tongsheng recalled his promise from the last time she came, "Didn't you say last time that you would help me cure the poison of the Slow Robe? How can you go back on your word?"

"I was in a good mood last time!"

The real reason is that he didn't know Xia Tongsheng was Princess An last time, but he knows now.

He had traveled a great distance to the capital of Beimin and opened a clinic not far from the Prince's Palace, all in an effort to get closer to Min Youan.

Xia Tongsheng is undoubtedly the best way to get close to Min Youan!

Moreover, he has a grudge against Min Youan, so how could he possibly help Xia Tongsheng with her illness? He just wants to keep Xia Tongsheng there so that she will come to see him often, and then he can take the opportunity to lure Min Youan to him.

Xia Tongsheng didn't believe the old man was so heartless, and continued to pester him, "Doctor, look how long I've waited... Saving a life is more meritorious than building a seven-story pagoda, how can you bear to watch someone die?"

"Be patient!"

Just like in the TV shows, capable doctors often have rather eccentric personalities. But "eccentric" is a euphemism; Xia Tongsheng felt that they clearly had personality flaws.

"Doctor," Xia Tongsheng grabbed his arm and wouldn't let go no matter what!

"Let go! I'm hungry now, I need to go eat!"

Thinking of her superb cooking skills, Xia Tongsheng seemed to have a glimmer of hope. "Doctor, I can cook you something delicious!"

The doctor glanced at her hands and said arrogantly, "No need, my apprentice can do it!"

"Your apprentice's cooking is definitely not as good as mine. You don't believe me? Try it!" Xia Tongsheng widened her eyes and continued to tempt him.

"You're the one who wanted to cook for me!"

Xia Tongsheng nodded quickly, "Yes, yes, it's my own choice, but as you know, I'm feeling weak right now, so I need to trouble your apprentice to go to the market and buy some ingredients for me!"

"Alright," the doctor called to the young apprentice, "Elm Seed, go to the market and buy some things!"

Xia Tongsheng wrote down a list of ingredients for him, "Okay, go ahead!"

Unexpectedly, the child stood still. Xia Tongsheng asked him, "What's wrong? Is there a problem with the list I wrote?"

The boy shook his head and said coldly, "Give me the money!"

She quickly took out a silver ingot from her bosom, "Here, the rest is your tip!"

"Doctor, please take me to the kitchen!"

The old doctor glanced at her, then lifted the curtain. "Come with me!"

Seeing Xia Tongsheng rummaging through the kitchen, the doctor couldn't help but speak up, "Let me make this clear beforehand: even if I eat the food you cooked, I will not treat your illness!"

"No treatment! I just wanted to express my apology, after all, the injury on your face is also related to me!"

Although Xia Tongsheng said this, what she was really thinking was, "He who eats another's food is bound to do his bidding. I'll conquer your stomach first, and then see if you'll still treat my illness."

Yuqian quickly bought the things and put them in the kitchen.

Looking at the table full of ingredients, Xia Tongsheng knew she couldn't possibly handle it all by herself. She asked, "Doctor, could I borrow your apprentice for a bit? Otherwise, I'm afraid you won't have time to eat!"

"Ask him yourself if he's willing to help you!" After saying that, she left the two of them in the kitchen and went to rest in the yard by herself.

Fortunately, the young medicine boy agreed to her request. She chatted with him while cooking, "I heard your name is Yuqian'er?"

"Um!"

"How long have you been with your master?"

"long time!"

Xia Tongsheng noticed that although he was young, his knife skills were quite good, and continued, "You seem very skilled at chopping vegetables. Do you usually do the cooking?"

"Ok!"

Xia Tongsheng listened to his replies, which were always only one or two words long, and felt that this child's personality was really quite aloof. The main point was that it was so sarcastic.

"Let me tell you, little boys shouldn't be so cold. Wouldn't it be better to be a warm and caring guy? That way, girls will like you!"

"Oh!"

Xia Tongsheng gave up. She couldn't change this child's mind!

Soon the food was ready. Xia Tongsheng brought out the sweet and sour pork ribs, braised pork, Kung Pao chicken, sweet and sour fish, and other dishes she had prepared. The doctor had already smelled the aroma outside, and now that he saw it, his mouth was watering. "Pick up your chopsticks and start eating!"

Xia Tongsheng asked expectantly from the side, "How does it taste?"

The old man ate with great relish, squinting his eyes and saying repeatedly, "Not bad, not bad!"

"Doctor, what's your name? It feels awkward to keep calling you 'Doctor'!"

The doctor was taken aback, his eyes darting around quickly. "I am Cao Tian!"

Cao Tian took another bite of sweet and sour pork ribs and said, "For the sake of this meal, I'll let the injury on my face slide!"

"Thank you very much, Doctor Cao!"

"No need to thank me! I must say, your cooking skills are quite good. This is the best meal I've ever had! Will you come and cook for me again in the future?" Cao Tian took the opportunity to try and win over Xia Tongsheng.

"I'm afraid I won't have time! Besides, you know I have chronic illnesses and my health isn't good! I can't overwork myself!"

Cao Tian was somewhat disappointed. "Fine then! If you're not coming, you're not coming!"

Xia Tongsheng was inwardly weeping. Why wasn't she following the expected script? Shouldn't she be trying to keep him here by offering him food and then helping him get treatment?

He's truly a principled and good doctor; if he says he won't treat someone, he won't!

Xia Tongsheng thought to herself, she should give it one last try. After all, she had already persevered this far, and she couldn't just give up like this. "Dr. Cao, you don't need to treat my illness. Could you please check if I've stopped taking the slow-acting medicine? That way, I'll have a clear idea of ​​what's going on!"

Cao Tian shook his chopsticks, "No way!"

"Why? This doesn't count as treating an illness!"

"No reason, I just don't want to!"

Xia Tongsheng slumped down, sitting at the dining table, having lost all appetite.

Unexpectedly, the young apprentice put down his chopsticks and spoke coldly, his demeanor somewhat similar to Min You'an's, "Hey, are you ever going to stop?!"

Xia Tongsheng immediately said, "Oh no, oh no, don't be angry!"

The boy slowly raised his eyes and glanced at Xia Tongsheng. "I wasn't talking about you!"

Huh? Not me?
