Don't disturb me, I won't be a concubine

Meng Dong still trusted what senior brother Tan Hao said, so even if Tan Hao asked her to take Coptis chinensis, she only hesitated for a short while and quickly convinced herself: Senior brother letting me taste it will help me remember the medicinal ingredients faster. , she has also tasted other medicinal materials, and she cannot stop trying it just because Coptis chinensis is bitter. Besides, she just promised the master that she would study it seriously.

Thinking of this, Meng Dong stared at the coptis in his hand and took a deep breath, "Senior brother is right. It's just coptis, and it won't kill you, so I'm not afraid."

As he spoke, he stuck out his tongue and licked Coptis chinensis with a heroic expression.

"Ah...it's so painful..."

The bitter taste on the tip of his tongue made Meng Dong's features squeeze together. He threw away the small piece of coptis and clenched his hands tightly into fists.

"Senior brother... I take back what I just said, Huang Lian will really suffer to death!"

Tan Hao looked at the vivid expression on her face, and his eyes were filled with smiles unconsciously.

Meng Dong thought he was simply trying to get her to recognize the medicinal materials, but he didn't know that besides this, Tan Hao also had some small intentions of teasing her, which of course she couldn't let her know.

"Here, eat this."

Seeing Meng Dong clenching her fists and stamping her feet in pain, Tan Hao took out a pack of dried apricots from his body and picked the biggest one for her.

Meng Dong glanced at it and immediately took it and stuffed it into his mouth. The sweet and sour taste replaced the original bitter taste.

Meng Dong chewed the dried apricots and swallowed them. He stopped frowning and loosened his fists. Only then did he notice that Tan Hao still had something in his hand. He still said, "Brother, can I have another one?"

"All for you." Tan Hao directly gave her the whole package.

"Thank you, senior brother," Meng Dong happily took it and put another one in his mouth. He closed his eyes with satisfaction and asked while eating, "Senior brother, why did you bring this? Do you like to eat it?"

"It's prepared for you. I saw that you had a bitter look on your face when you tasted other medicinal materials before. In the future, you will eat a dried apricot after tasting it. Will it feel less bitter?"

Meng Dong nodded vigorously, "Senior brother, you are so kind -"

"A pack of dried apricots will conquer you?" Tan Hao couldn't help laughing.

Ji Bai happened to see this scene when he stepped into the hospital. Meng Dong smiled at a man with a worthless look. He suddenly felt his teeth sore. He had been in the house for so long, but he hadn't seen her smile like this before.

In vain, he knew that she was coming to the medical clinic to study medicine today, and he was worried that she would be depressed after studying hard, so he came to see her while the prince was in court. Unexpectedly, he was worried for nothing. He was feeling depressed. He was simply not in a good mood!

It made Ji Bai doubt whether the hardships she told him two days ago were true.

An apprentice from the medical center noticed Ji Bai first, "Master, are you here to see a doctor or to get medicine?"

Meng Dong and Tan Hao turned their heads after hearing this.

"Hey, why are you here? Don't you need to wait in front of the Crown Prince?" Meng Dong walked towards Ji Bai in surprise.

Ji Bai came back to his senses and coughed, "The prince has gone to court. I...I'm not feeling well. Come here and grab a couple of medicines."

"Ah? What's wrong with you?" Meng Dong looked at him and saw that he was in good spirits. Apart from his face being a little smelly, he didn't look uncomfortable at all.

Tan Hao had met Ji Bai in Linqing County. He immediately stepped forward and said, "Ji Weiwei is not feeling well? I can check for you first. If it is a minor illness, you can take some medicine and it will be fine. You can also ask my father or elder brother to give you some medicine." Check your pulse carefully."

Ji Bai just made a random excuse, and of course he wouldn't let them see it.

"I probably caught a cold last night and my throat feels a little uncomfortable. I won't bother Dr. Tan. You can just grab me some medicine."

"It's already the beginning of summer, and you're still catching a cold?" Meng Dong was very surprised. Ever since he entered Chenglin Pavilion, he had never been sick. He was as strong as an ox. Why did he catch a cold despite the nice weather?

Her words suddenly made Ji Bai's blood surge up, straight to his forehead, and he said angrily: "Who said you can't catch a cold in the Beginning of Summer? I caught a cold in the Beginning of Summer!"

Meng Dong was startled. He didn't expect him to have such a big reaction. He felt that he was a little inexplicable today, so he replied habitually: "I kindly ask you, what is your attitude? I just don't care about you, how can you catch a cold?" , what does it have to do with me!"

"I..." Ji Bai regretted it after saying it, and didn't know how to explain it.

When Tan Hao saw that something was not going well, he hurriedly tried to persuade him: "Wei Ji, don't be angry. Meng Dong cares about you. Meng Dong, please calm down. Ji Wei is feeling unwell and upset. You have also learned some pharmacology, so you should be more considerate of him." That’s it.”

"Hmph, who cares about him anymore?" Meng Dong turned away angrily and ignored Ji Bai.

Tan Hao looked back and forth between the two of them, not knowing what to do.

At this time, Dong Jiafu happened to come out of the consulting room. Hearing something going on outside, something seemed wrong, so he walked over quickly.

When she saw Ji Bai, she was slightly surprised, "Ji Bai, why are you here?"

Ji Bai then looked away from Meng Dong and cupped his hands towards Dong Jiafu, "Miss Dong, I'm fine. I just passed by the medical center and came to take a look."

Dong Jiafu noticed that Meng Dong tilted his head, as if displeased, and couldn't understand the situation, so he couldn't help but look at Tan Hao with questioning eyes.

Tan Hao shook his head gently at her, and then said to Ji Bai: "You can't hold off if you catch a cold. Since Ji Wei doesn't want to see us for pulse diagnosis, I'll ask you to grab two pairs of wind-dispelling medicine, and you can take it when you go back. If the condition is If it gets worse, it’s best to come back for careful diagnosis and treatment.”

"No need to bother, I'm fine, just go back and have a good sleep. Say goodbye."

Ji Bai had no intention of staying any longer, so he raised his eyes and glanced at Meng Dong again, then turned and left the medical center.

"Alas..." Tan Hao raised his hand to stay, but when he saw that Ji Bai had already walked away, he slowly lowered his hand and said to himself, "You are already here, take the medicine and leave..."

Meng Dong turned around and didn't even see Ji Bai's figure. He said angrily: "Senior brother, don't worry about him. A dog bites Lu Dongbin and doesn't know a good heart. I don't think he is sick at all!"

Dong Jiafu didn't know what the quarrel between the two was, so she went over to comfort him and said, "Okay, come in with me and have a cup of tea to relieve the anger."

Meng Dong followed her to the consulting room. After sitting down, he drank a cup of tea in one breath. Then, without waiting for her to ask, he told her what had just happened.

"Afu, tell me, is he inexplicable? I didn't say anything wrong. Listen to what he said, damn it!" Meng Dong became angrier as he thought about it.

Dong Jiafu naturally faced her, "You're not wrong. Ji Bai probably wasn't feeling well today and spoke a little too hastily. For the sake of his illness, don't argue with him."

"He doesn't look like he's sick. If I talk to him again, I'll be like a puppy!"

Just as Meng Dong finished her vow, when she was about to return to the Duke's Mansion in the afternoon, Tan Hao stopped her and stuffed two doses of medicine into her hand.

"This is for Guard Ji. I think his symptoms are not obvious yet. He should be fine soon after taking some medicine. You can take it back to him."
