"Yes, Mengyun, it's still late at night, why are you up? Come, drink the medicine." Maizi picked up the medicine cup on the coffee table.

When Li Mengyun saw the black medicine, she shook her head like a rattle and said, "I won't drink it. This medicine tastes terrible. My illness has been cured. It won't be a problem for me."

Song Ruining frowned, "How can I not take the medicine? This medicine was prescribed by Imperial Physician Wang! In the middle of the night, I ran to fetch Imperial Physician Wang. How could it be easy for me?"

"Thank you, brother. I think I'm well now. I don't need to take medicine anymore."

After talking to Lord Gu about her worries, Li Mengyun felt that she was truly fine.

The three grown men all looked at Li Mengyun eagerly, as if they were going to force her to drink if she didn't drink.

Song Ruining was even more exaggerated, holding her hands to her heart, pretending to be heartbroken: "Sister, if you don't take the medicine, how can your illness be cured?

Are you worthy of your brother running wildly in the middle of the night? Are you worthy of your disciple, Old Man Wang?"

"Mengyun, the medicine is bitter, just close your eyes and drink it in one gulp, okay? I worked so hard to make this medicine, you can't waste my kindness, right? After you drink the medicine, I'll give you a candied fruit as a reward."

Maizi held the medicine cup in his hand and spoke earnestly, while waving the candied fruit in front of Li Mengyun's eyes, trying to seduce her.

Gu Hantian also looked at Li Mengyun eagerly, raised his eyebrows and said: "Yun'er, you'd better drink the medicine obediently, or I will feed you?"

Gu Hantian deliberately pronounced the word "hey" loudly and slowly, looking at Li Mengyun with a threatening and teasing look in his eyes.

Maizi is rather naive and hasn't figured out the hidden meaning in Gu Hantian's words.

Song Ruining, a soul from the modern times, instantly understood Gu Hantian's intention and looked at him with disdain.

Gu Hantian crossed his arms and raised his eyebrows at Song Ruining proudly.

Li Mengyun looked at the three men and muttered, "If you're worried, I can give myself acupuncture. I don't even need to take medicine. Really."

"How do you give yourself an acupuncture injection? Do you have such ability?" Song Ruining looked at Li Mengyun with suspicion.

"Brother, don't look down on me. I'm very capable. Sir Gu, could you please bring me the medicine bag on the table? Thank you."

Gu Hantian immediately turned around and walked over to help Li Mengyun get the medicine bag.

Li Mengyun took out a set of thin, small and short silver needles from her medicine bag. These were specially made for her by a craftsman in the palace, and were specifically for pricking fingers.

The three grown men looked at her like curious babies, waiting to see how Li Mengyun would give herself an acupuncture injection.

Li Mengyun disinfected her hands with alcohol, picked up the silver needle with her right hand, and inserted the needle into the whorls and flow lines on each finger of her left hand. Her movements were quick and accurate.

With just a few whooshes, the palm of Li Mengyun's left hand was filled with tiny silver needles.

The three men looked at it and were all puzzled. If the left hand had been pierced, how could the right hand be pierced?

Li Mengyun glanced at the three people cunningly, picked up a silver needle with her white teeth, aimed it at the acupuncture point on the fingertip of her right hand and gently spit it out, and the silver needle accurately pierced the acupuncture point.

Soon, the whorls and lines on Li Mengyun's ten fingers were all pierced with tiny silver needles.

Li Mengyun raised her needle-like hands and smiled at the three men: "See, I am very good at this."

The three men felt their scalps tingling as they looked at the tiny silver needles that pierced Li Mengyun's slender, jade-white hands.

How much the little girl hates drinking Chinese herbal medicine? She would rather prick herself into this state than drink a sip of it.

Song Ruining and Maizi both had big expressions of admiration on their faces.

Song Ruining nodded and gave a thumbs up: "My sister is really amazing."

Gu Hantian couldn't help but touch Li Mengyun's head and whispered in her ear: "My little girl is great."

Li Mengyun, who was not afraid of acupuncture, blushed and lowered her head shyly.

Song Ruining looked at the two people flirting with each other, a smile flashing in his peach blossom eyes.

He pulled Maizi's sleeve and said, "Brother Maizi, let's go now that we are both in the way."

Maizi raised the corner of his mouth, nodded, picked up the medicine cup, and walked out with Song Ruining.

Before leaving, he was kind enough to help close the door.

Gu Hantian waited for the two to leave, poured a cup of hot tea, brought it over, put the teacup to Li Mengyun's mouth, and said with a smile: "My amazing little girl, have a sip of tea."

Li Mengyun smiled sweetly, and took Lord Gu's hand and finished the cup of tea in a few gulps.

Gu Hantian laughed softly. The little girl was so impatient that she even drank her tea in one gulp.

When the time was up, Li Mengyun helped herself remove the needle and started to chase people away.

"Master Gu, I'm fine now. It's late at night, you should go back and get some rest."

"Not urgent."

As Gu Hantian spoke, he took Li Mengyun's hand and carefully helped her massage the place where the needle had just been inserted.

Looking into Li Mengyun's eyes, he asked in a low voice: "Does it hurt?"

Li Mengyun shook her head.

Gu Hantian pointed to his chest and said, "But Yun'er, seeing you have so many silver needles, it hurts me here."

After hearing this, Li Mengyun looked at Gu Hantian coquettishly and felt her teeth aching.

He pulled his hand away from Lord Gu's tightly clenched hand, stood up, and pushed Lord Gu out of the door.

"Master Gu, I'm fine. It's late, you should go back and rest."

"Yun'er, it's still early. I can stay with you for a while before leaving."

"Master Gu, I am a patient. Patients need to rest. Do you understand?"

As Li Mengyun spoke, she stood on tiptoe, quickly pecked Lord Gu on the lips, turned around and went back to her room, closing the door with a bang.

The little girl's sweet voice came from behind the door: "Master Gu, take care. I won't see you off. Good night."

Gu Hantian stroked the place on his lips where the little girl had kissed him, and his heart felt as sweet as if he had drunk honey.

He shook his head and laughed, then went downstairs lightly like a drunk.

Gu Hantian went down to the first floor.

Song Ruining and Maizi were waiting in the yard and saw Gu Handian coming.

Song Ruining raised his eyebrows and asked, "Old Gu, are you leaving now?"

"Yun'er is a patient and needs to rest. Of course I have to go back home."

"Haha, I thought you were reluctant to leave." Song Ruining said jokingly.

"The wedding day for Yun'er and I is not far away." Gu Han said this and walked out.

"Oh, you are the one who won't suffer any loss at all."

Song Ruining cursed with a low laugh, and shouted at Gu Hantian's back as he walked away, "Thank you, Old Gu. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have known that my sister was sick."

Gu Hantian got on his horse and left without even looking back.

He couldn't help but feel secretly proud in his heart. He and Yun'er were very close minded. He could sense it as soon as Yun'er was sick.

Li Mengyun saw Mr. Gu off and went back to bed to sleep. She needed to get enough rest as she had things to do tomorrow.

Not long after, Li Mengyun fell asleep with a smile on her lips.
