Moonlit Calamity: The Dragon Girl's Life of Idleness is Broken

Chapter 91 Trivial Matters of the Pharmacy

Because the Qin Prince's mansion was heavily guarded, they could not find any loopholes, nor could they get too close to stake out the place, as they would be easily discovered. Therefore, they could only observe from a distance.

The man who was keeping watch today saw a young woman leaving the mansion from a distance. He hesitated for a moment before following her to investigate.

He followed the carriage to the entrance of the pharmacy, pretended to be a patient and went inside to observe. He found that the woman did indeed look very much like the person in the portrait, and he quickly went back to report the information he had found.

Upon hearing the report from the person keeping watch, Liu Yu immediately went to find Nangong Ming and told him what he had found out that day.

"Young Master, I will go and confirm."

Nangong Ming stopped him, "No need."

He sat at his desk, looking at the missing person poster, his left hand supporting his head, his right hand tapping the table, a smile playing on his lips.

The pharmacy was as crowded as yesterday, and Long Chuqing had been busy all morning. After lunch, he continued seeing patients.

The doctors next to them, Dr. Sun and Dr. Liu, rubbed their lower backs and sighed, "We're getting old. Our backs hurt after sitting for a long time. We're no longer useful."

Long Chuqing joked, "How about I give you both a few acupuncture needles and put some ointment on your skin?"

Dr. Sun had long heard Dr. Yuan say that she was highly skilled in medicine and that her ointments were excellent.

Hearing her say this, he nodded repeatedly: "Okay, okay... take a look at me when you have some free time tonight."

Doctor Liu chimed in, "And me, let me take a look too."

Upon hearing this, Doctor Yuan over there also said, "There's the two of us too!"

“Okay…” Long Chuqing smiled and said, “I’ll show it to you when I have time.”

She wrote a prescription for an elderly woman and gave her some instructions.

After the old woman left, a well-dressed young man arrived, wearing a half-mask. He sat down gracefully.

Long Chuqing glanced at him and asked gently, "Young Master, where do you feel unwell? Please extend your hand so I can take your pulse."

He saw the floral decoration between Long Chuqing's eyebrows and the hairpin in her hair, and was certain that it was her.

Upon hearing this, he slowly raised his hand and placed it on the pulse table, pulling up a section of his wide sleeve to reveal his fair wrist.

Long Chuqing skillfully took his pulse, listened carefully, and then looked at him politely and said, "Young master, you are in good health, without any illness or cold."

"This way, please," she gestured to the side, indicating that he could leave.

"Next person."

He remained seated on the stool, showing no intention of getting up.

He spoke slowly, "I feel unwell. Doctor, are you sure you took my pulse properly? Why don't you take another look? Perhaps you didn't see it clearly just now!"

As he spoke, he placed his hand on the pulse table again and looked at Long Chuqing.

Long Chuqing expressed her helplessness; she was certain she hadn't misjudged, the man in front of her was indeed healthy.

She wondered to herself if this man was here to cause trouble. Seeing that he had already taken her wrist, she had no choice but to take his pulse again.

After carefully listening to his pulse, she had an idea. She smiled and said in a teasing tone, "Young master's health is indeed a bit off. You are not married yet, are you? Your liver fire is too strong. I will prescribe some medicine to reduce the heat for you. I guarantee that after drinking it, you will feel better and your liver fire will be gone."

"Avoid spicy, greasy, and other irritating foods," she said as she wrote down the prescription. "Eat more fruits and vegetables. In addition, you can also make tea with rose petals, honeysuckle, chrysanthemum, etc."

"These can also help alleviate the symptoms of excessive liver fire in your body: drink less alcohol, get angry less, and stay up late less."

"Alright... Here's your prescription. Go find the pharmacist over there to get your medicine. Thank you, next one."

Nangong Ming blushed with embarrassment upon hearing her teasing words. Luckily, he had worn a mask today, or he would have lost face completely.

He angrily got up and walked out with the prescription in his hand, without even getting the medicine, and went straight home.

I originally intended to tease her, but unexpectedly she turned the tables and teased me instead.

He returned to his residence, crumpled the prescription into a ball and threw it in a corner, then tore off his mask and threw it onto the daybed.

He sat down at the tea table, but his movements were so large that the teaware on the table collided and made a sound.

He poured himself a cup of tea and drank it all in one gulp.

Liu Yu followed him in and was puzzled by his angry appearance.

Why did he come back looking so angry after going out? What happened?

He didn't let Liu Yu follow him when he went out, so he had no idea why Liu Yu was angry.

Before Liu Yu could speak, Nangong Ming coldly said, "Throw away all the tea leaves on the table and replace them all with chrysanthemum tea."

"Lost?" Liu Yu asked in surprise.

These teas are very valuable; the young master specially ordered them to be brought back from the south. How can you just refuse them like that?

He became even more suspicious. What exactly had happened during that short hour or so?

However, he didn't dare to say anything more and put the tea away, thinking that the young master might want to drink it someday.

Before long, as Nangong Ming had instructed, he brought him various kinds of chrysanthemum tea and placed them on the tea table.

Nangong Ming frowned when he saw a row of chrysanthemum teas in front of him.

He felt even angrier after seeing the chrysanthemum tea. He stood up, flung his sleeves, and strode away, refusing to drink it.

If people knew that he ran a brothel and had a fiery temper, they would laugh at him!

Liu Yu scratched his head, completely clueless. The young master usually seemed so calm and collected; what had gotten into him today?

The coachman didn't come to pick her up that night, but Xiao Han did. He arrived at the pharmacy around 5 PM.

Qingying came in carrying a food box. Just as Xiao Han came to her side, Long Chuqing had finished seeing a patient.

Seeing him behind her, she stood up and said, "Xiao Han... why are you here again today? Didn't I tell you yesterday that this place is full of sickness and easy to get infected?"

Xiao Han's brows softened, and he said gently, "It's alright... Didn't you stay here all day because you were feeling unwell?"

He turned to the patients in line and said, "The doctor needs to go eat first. Please wait a moment, or you can go and queue with other doctors."

He turned back to Long Chuqing and said, "Let's go eat first."

Before Long Chuqing could refute him, he pulled her towards the backyard.

Qingying followed behind, carrying the food box.

"I haven't told the patient yet!" Long Chuqing said helplessly.

"It's okay, I already said that."

She sighed softly and had no choice but to follow him to the backyard.

Upon arriving in the backyard, Qingying arranged the food from the food box and then left.

He pulled Long Chuqing to sit down: "Even when you're seeing a doctor, you should eat first."

The lunchbox was insulated, and the food taken out of it was still steaming hot.

There was braised pork, steamed fish, and a dish of stir-fried pork with wood ear mushrooms.

Seeing that there were two servings of rice and two sets of chopsticks, Long Chuqing asked, "You haven't eaten either?"

"Okay, I'll eat with you." He said, picking up a piece of braised pork for her: "This is your favorite."

Upon hearing this, Long Chuqing smiled and said, "I haven't washed my hands yet! Go wash your hands first."
