Chapter 158 Hidden Secret
"Naughty boy, aren't you afraid of being seen?" Chen Dong turned around with a wicked smile, his face suddenly froze.
"Why is it you?" Chen Dong asked in surprise.
"Who do you think it is, sir?" Li Yuhuan asked intently.
The Queen, the Imperial Concubine, Wen Xuan... He thought of them all, but the only person he didn't think of was Li Yuhuan.
He coughed lightly to cover up his embarrassment and said with a smile: "I thought it was Doctor Wen."
"Doctor Wen went to make medicine for you." Li Yuhuan said, "I saw that no one was waiting, so I came to serve you, eunuch."
Chen Dong groaned, "Your Majesty, you are embarrassing me. I am just an insignificant servant. How can I let Your Majesty serve me?"
"Yuhuan was able to enter the palace thanks to eunuch. I will have to rely on you in the future." Li Yuhuan blushed and stared at Chen Dong with charming eyes.
Chen Dong's heart moved, and he held Li Yuhuan's hand, chuckled and asked: "Your Majesty, do you think it through?"
"After thinking over and over, Yuhuan feels that what the father-in-law said before is not appropriate." Li Yuhuan did not break away from Chen Dong's hand, and could only let him hold it. "My father knows a lot of young and beautiful girls, and we can let the father-in-law deal with them."
Chen Dong hooked Li Yuhuan's neck, put his forehead against her jade-like forehead, and laughed softly: "But I only want you."
The hot breath he exhaled sprayed on Li Yuhuan's face, making her breathing suddenly rapid.
"Eunuch, please don't be like this. Doctor Wen will be back at any time." Li Yuhuan said anxiously. She struggled to push Chen Dong away and looked at him with a red face.
Chen Dong chuckled and said, "Doctor Wen."
Li Yuhuan subconsciously turned her head to look at the door, and suddenly Chen Dong kissed her on the face.
Chen Dong smiled and said, "My lady, I have given you my seal of approval. From now on, you will be my woman."
"You..." Li Yuhuan was both embarrassed and angry, but she could do nothing about Chen Dong. She stomped her feet angrily and rushed out quickly, almost bumping into Wen Cheng who was about to come in.
Wen Cheng looked at Chen Dong in confusion.
Chen Dong said casually: "Li Zhaoyi forgot to take her things."
Wen Cheng put the medicine on the cabinet beside Chen Dong's bed and asked with a serious face, "How is Wen Xuan now?"
"Very good." Chen Dong said briefly. He felt a little nervous, afraid that if he said too much, he would make more mistakes. If he let the cat out of the bag, no one would be able to cover it up.
When Wen Cheng faced Chen Dong, his expression was somewhat complicated. He should have been happy that his daughter had found a home, but he was not happy because the other party was a eunuch.
One of them was standing and the other was lying down. The atmosphere was both quiet and weird.
Chen Dong picked up the bowl and drank it all in one gulp. "Doctor Wen, go do whatever you need. I don't need anyone to take care of me."
Wen Cheng said expressionlessly: "Your wound has been bandaged, take the medicine and go back to rest."
Chen Dong didn't expect to be ordered to leave, so he could only respond with "OK", put on his clothes and prepare to leave.
But when he was about to leave, he saw Wen Cheng taking out a wooden box.
"Leave it to Wen Xuan." Wen Cheng said.
Chen Dong raised his eyebrows, "What is it?"
Wen Cheng said: "A medicine."
Chen Dong lowered his head and smelled it, and indeed smelled a faint medicinal fragrance. He nodded and put the wooden box in his arms.
He had already heard Wen Cheng tell him the results of the imperial examination, and he had no interest in going to the scene to join in the fun.
However, Li Yuhuan returned to the palace early and came to the Imperial Hospital to find him. Her attitude is worth pondering.
There is no rush to send gifts, playing games with the Empress is more fun.
Carrying the wooden box, Chen Dong went to Li Yuhuan's bedroom.
On the way, I passed by the library and saw the old man sweeping the floor, basking in the sun leisurely.
When Chen Dong passed by the old man sweeping the floor, the other party said slowly, "Since you are injured, you should rest and don't mess around in the harem."
Chen Dong smiled and said, "I'm just a eunuch, what can I do?"
The old man sweeping the floor glanced at Chen Dong and said, "Don't you know whether you are a eunuch or not?"
Chen Dong's expression changed slightly, "Who are you?"
"An old man who is about to die." The old man sweeping the floor yawned, "Go quickly and don't disturb my sleep."
"Remember to throw away the soul-dispersing pills on you. There's a foul smell from a distance."
"What soul-dispersing pill?" Chen Dong asked in surprise.
The old man sweeping the floor had his eyes closed and was snoring softly, obviously not wanting to pay attention to Chen Dong.
Chen Dong's face darkened.
If he had anything on him, it was only the wooden box that Wen Cheng stuffed into his hand.
"Could it be the things in that box?" Chen Dong thought to himself.
This time, he no longer had the heart to flirt with Li Yuhuan, and turned around and walked out of the palace.
As dusk fell, lanterns were already lit in the market outside the palace.
The newly crowned number one scholar Qian Liang rode a horse in a parade through the streets, attracting the people to watch him.
When Chen Dong went to the clinic, he saw the people chasing Qian Liang and shouting loudly as if they were chasing a star.
The restaurant where Qian Liang once lived was renamed Zhuangyuanlou.
Chen Dong smiled and turned to go into the clinic.
Wen Xuan was sitting in the clinic, treating a mother-in-law.
When he saw Chen Dong, his eyes suddenly lit up.
But she did not stand up to greet the patient in front of her. After she finished examining her mother-in-law, took the medicine, and told her how to take the medicine, she looked at Chen Dong eagerly.
Chen Dong closed the door and looked at Wen Xuan with a smile.
Wen Xuan snorted, a look of dissatisfaction appeared on his face, and he frowned and said, "You told me to wait for you that day, but it's been several days? Men's words are deceiving!"
"It's my fault, but I did it for His Majesty." Chen Dong begged for mercy. He hugged Wen Xuan, but was pushed away by him.
"Stop it, you just want to fool me!" Wen Xuan said angrily.
"I swear to the candle, I didn't do that." Chen Dong said aggrievedly, "Don't you know what just happened? For your majesty, I almost died."
"What's going on?" Wen Xuan's face changed drastically, and she stared at Chen Dong with worry. However, Chen Dong stood in front of her intact, which made a hint of doubt in her eyes.
As Chen Dong took off his clothes, he explained, "Today was the imperial examination. Prince Jing was plotting a rebellion, and I blocked a knife for your majesty."
After taking off his clothes, he revealed his upper body and a circle of gauze tied between his ribs.
A hint of heartache suddenly flashed across Wen Xuan's eyes.
"I asked you to resign, but you refused." Wen Xuan's eyes were slightly red, and he was worried and scared.
"Didn't I promise you that I would retire to the countryside after returning from the Northern Expedition?" Chen Dong shook the wooden box in his hand and changed the subject.
Wen Xuan's attention was instantly attracted by the wooden box in Chen Dong's hand. There was three parts of uneasiness, three parts of panic, three parts of nervousness, and one part of resistance in his eyes.
"Your father asked me to give this to you. What's its origin?" Chen Dong asked. Wen Xuan's complicated look made him suspicious.
Wen Xuan took the wooden box and quickly concealed his emotions.
"It's nothing. Just lie down and have some rest. I'll get you something to eat." Wen Xuan walked quickly into the inner room with the wooden box. His steps were quick and urgent.
Chen Dong's brows suddenly frowned.
"Soul-dispersing pills? What secrets are these two father and daughter hiding?"
