At night, the two went to bed.

Zhongli Min has been a little uneasy today. She is sitting next to Situ Xi after taking a bath, and her face no longer has the gentle and calm look of the past.

The room was a little quiet. Situ Xi rubbed her head, stood up and lit the candle on the table.

"Madam, what are you thinking about?"

Hearing Situ Xi's voice, Zhongli's chest suddenly surged with complicated emotions.

Her eyes became moist again, but she did not shed tears.

This emotion is difficult to sort out.

Still feeling uneasy since the morning, she felt a palpitation in her chest after receiving the news of the attack on Yuxin Street.

Although she was happy to know that Situ Xi was safe and sound, her husband, who was leaning beside her, was still thinking about comforting himself.

A little angry, she hoped that he would be more concerned about her safety.

But what's more is the feeling of powerlessness that fills every part of the body.

She knew that given their status and situation, they might encounter more dangerous situations in the future than they did today.

If she faced various difficulties in the future, she would do anything to help Situ Xi.

She hoped to share his troubles, instead of having to rely on other people's help to worry about it like this morning.

"Ms. sir, is there anything I can do?" Zhongli leaned his head on Situ Xi's shoulder and asked him in a soft voice.

Situ Xi heard her words and understood what she was probably thinking.

"Well... what dreams do you have, madam?" This topic is a little jumpy.

"Dream?" Zhongli Min was also stunned by this question.

"It's not urgent. Madam, you can think about it carefully. I haven't asked Madam yet, what are your preferences in the past?"

"I used to love reading, and read all kinds of books. Now that I think about it, I can't call it a hobby. My knowledge is far from those of the great masters, sir. I just read it to please myself... I think I also have it.

I haven’t read a book in a few months.”

How many months has it been? She probably didn't have that thought after being told that she wanted to get married. During this period of time after the marriage, she was also busy with family matters...

Situ Xi turned his head and stared at her face. Her skin was very good and could be broken by blows, but the look on her face was obviously a little lost, as if she thought she was too ordinary.

Situ Xi felt that she was a little underestimating herself. It was a rare thing to be able to love reading books from the bottom of her heart.

What's more, being able to read all kinds of books seriously and patiently, whether in the past life or in this world, is a talent that most people dream of.

"Then Madam, you can resume studying from tomorrow, and you must spend time reading every day. I will have many things to do for you in the future."

…

Early the next morning.

All seven members of Situ Xi's family stood at the entrance of the courtyard.

In front of him was the eunuch Huai Ke who sent Situ Xi home yesterday. Next to him stood an old man with white hair and a white robe.

"Mr. Situ, this is Mr. Bian. He is a palace physician. Now there are many young doctors in the Imperial Medical Pavilion who are his apprentices. He has been responsible for taking care of your health in the past few days."

"Bian Qiao pays homage to the Nine Kings. I will be bothering you for a while." This old man in white robes has fair hair and a childish face, and his actions and words also give people a sense of immortality.

"It's over here, I'm troubling Mr. Bian." In response to the elder's cordial greetings, Situ Xi naturally returned the courtesy with a smile.

However, when he looked at Eunuch Huai again, Situ Xi's face looked a little ugly.

"Eunuch Huai, what do these soldiers at the door mean?"

"Hey, Young Master, this is an oracle. The Great Flower Dynasty will be in seven days. Your Majesty is afraid that you guys will be fooling around again. If you get hurt, you will not be able to participate in the spring hunting and birthday banquet. In the face of happy events, it is better to avoid it.

It's better to cause more troubles." Huai Ke also explained to Situ Xi with a wry smile, hoping he would understand.

"You are not allowed to go out for these seven days? What if you don't have enough food?"

"Your Majesty only said that the young master is not allowed to go out. Others will continue as usual. If an acquaintance comes to visit, just report it to the guards in front of the door." After Huai Ke said with a smile, he bent down and handed over his hands in a hurry.

Take a few steps back.

"Sir, our family has to go to Duke Huaiming's Mansion next. If you have any questions, you can inform Mr. Bian first, and we will leave first."

After saying that, he ran away in a hurry.

"This..." Situ Xi was speechless for a moment. He turned around and gave a helpless look to the people behind him, then put on a smile and faced Mr. Bian Qiao, "Old sir, I've made you laugh. Let's talk in the room first."

…

He was banned until the Flower Festival.

Or stay at home as ordered.

There is no way to change it, so these few days are just a good time to sort out what I need to do now.

The only troublesome thing is that he hasn't picked out the gift for the Queen Mother yet, and he can't go out now.

Situ Xi and Mr. Bian were sitting at the table in the courtyard, and Man Jun poured a glass of cooked water for each of them.

The rich aroma hit his nostrils, and Bian Lao's eyes lit up. He lifted the cup on the table with his sleeves rolled up, placed it with the tip of his nose and sniffed, raised his eyebrows, and took another sip.

"There are amomum villosum and licorice." He frowned, took another sip and tasted it carefully, "What kind of medicinal materials are they? The taste is a bit too sweet."

After hearing these words, Situ Xi instantly had a clear understanding of the level of the old man in front of him. He was worthy of being a master among imperial doctors.

"Mr. Bian is really amazing. There are only two medicinal materials, amomum villosum and licorice. As for you saying it tastes too sweet, that's because the cooked water was boiled before you came. My wife likes sweetness, so I ordered

The maids at home put some more caramel in it." Situ Xi said with a smile, "If it doesn't suit your taste, sir, I'll ask them to boil another pot."

This answer stunned Mr. Bian, and then he smiled heartily.

"Hahaha, it turns out that I fell into the medicine cabinet."

"But, is this called 'cooked water'? It's quite novel. It was the young master's idea. Drinking this water can relieve chest and diaphragm stagnation. It seems that the young master also knows some medicinal materials?"

"How do I know this? It's all just speculation. I've seen some folk remedies in the past." Situ Xi told the truth, and he was even more sure that Mr. Bian was a sage.

"Young Master, you are so humble." Mr. Bian put down his cup with a smile, "Sir, I will take your pulse first."

Without hesitation, he stretched out his right hand, and Mr. Bian helped him roll up his sleeve. He was about to reach out to check Situ Xi's pulse, but suddenly he noticed some bruises on his hand.

"Young Master, did you have a head-to-head confrontation with those dead soldiers yesterday?" Mr. Bian said the word "dead soldiers" when he opened his mouth, indicating that he knew the details of this matter.

"It is true that we have met each other, but these injuries are not caused by them. To be honest, I have been practicing martial arts with others recently. Every time I practice, I will leave some minor injuries. It is just a few flesh wounds. It will disappear in a few days.

You’ll be fine by yourself.”

"Oh?" Mr. Bian raised his head and looked at Situ Xi's face, and then looked up and down at his bones, "Young Master indeed has the talent to practice martial arts."

"I just practice casually, thinking that I can strengthen my body. I am a bit old now."

"As long as you have the will to do anything in this world, it's never too late." Mr. Bian shook his head, "Master, if you exercise like this, if you don't wait for the injury to recover, it will leave hidden wounds over time."
