Half in the river wind, half in the clouds

Nanny Sun spent the whole night lying on the table. When she woke up, she saw Li Longye lying on his side on the couch with his clothes on.

Nanny Sun quietly pushed the door open and went out. It was early in the morning in the mountains, birds were singing in the stream, and the air was fresh. She returned to the room, pushed open a window quietly, and then went out to wash and prepare breakfast.

Jiang Feng woke up, still feeling weak in his limbs, but his body and throat were no longer aching. He turned his head and saw the bearded man sleeping soundly on another couch. The man had sharp eyebrows, starry eyes, a straight nose, and sharp edges.

Perhaps it was because he was in a good mood after recovering from a serious illness, Jiang Feng's beard looked stylish too.

According to his bloodline, Li Longye is 1/8 mixed-race, and Tang Gaozu Li Yuan is a descendant of Xianbei. By the time of Li Longye's generation, although he had long lost his roughness, he was still full of masculinity. In addition, with his status and his frequent military service, he was even more noble and majestic.

Just as I was watching in a trance, the bearded man woke up.

Both of them were lying on their sides, looking into each other's eyes, neither of them moving.

In the end, Jiang Feng was the first to lose. He smiled and was about to speak, but no sound came out. He kept saying "Ah ...

Li Longye hurriedly stood up and comforted him, "It's okay, you ate something bad and hurt your throat. Doctor Sun pierced the mute point, but you can't speak for the time being to heal your throat."

Jiang Feng was suspicious.

Seeing that she didn't believe him, Li Longye threatened her, "But the miracle doctor also said that if you keep crying like you did last night, he will give you a shot and it will be over once and for all, so that you won't even be able to talk in your sleep."

Jiang Feng had no idea that he had a fever and was talking nonsense last night, so he took it seriously and covered his neck with his hands in a defensive manner.

Seeing her like this, Li Longye's fatigue from the past few days was swept away and he was in a good mood. He stroked his beard awkwardly, stood up and said, "I will ask the nanny to wash you. Then we will eat."

He strode out of the door, stood at the gate and made a gesture. Soon his personal follower Li Zan came running over and stood by.

He took out the letter he had written last night from his sleeve and said, "Three things. First, give this letter to Mr. Dugu and tell him that I have something important to do and will be delayed for a while. In an emergency, we must take extraordinary measures and not be soft-hearted. Tell him to follow the earlier agreement and make sure to drag the crown prince into the water."

Li Zan said respectfully: "I understand!"

Li Longye turned his head and looked inside the house, a smug look on his face, and continued, "You arrange for someone to go to the Jiang family and tell Lord Jiang that the third young lady woke up this morning and is fine. But the miracle doctor said that it will take some time for her to recover. If the Jiang family sends someone to see him, tell him that the miracle doctor is always eccentric and has many rules. He can only treat one person at a time. If there are more people coming, the third young lady can only be asked to stop treating him and go down the mountain."

The boy was puzzled by the second instruction. Why not let the parents come to see? But he still said loyally and respectfully: "I obey your command."

"Third, you go..." Li Longye hesitated for a moment, looked at the youthful Li Zan and said, "Forget it, you can't do this, ask Li Zhan to come over and answer."

Li Zan showed an expression of "I don't accept it" on his face, met Li Longye's gaze of "you are unreliable", and went down angrily.

Just as Li Zan turned to leave, Li Longye stopped him again and ordered: "Arrange some people at the intersection of the mountain. I need to rest in the mountain for a few days."

Rest? That means no one can go up the mountain? Of course, that includes the Jiang family, right? Then Li Zan obeyed the order and hid in the apricot forest.

After a while, another "expressionless" guard, Li Jian, came to take orders. Li Longye asked carefully, "The new Jinshi that Princess Cheng'an likes is called Shen Guxing. Is his courtesy name Yiye?"

Li Xian had a blank expression on his face. "Your Highness, Princess Cheng'an was originally going to marry into the Shen family, but it didn't happen because Shen Guxing refused. He was appointed You Shiyi last year, and his courtesy name was Yiye."

Li Xian paused and continued, "Shen Guxing has a close relationship with the Prince of Baling, and is also familiar with the Princess of Ji'an from the Shouchun Wang family."

Li Longye had some impression of that gentle young man, and was secretly angry about why women liked that kind of guy.

"Has he ever been to Liangzhou? What connection did he have with the Jiang family? You should investigate carefully and make sure it is complete." Li Longye hesitated for a while and said, "Yuan Shuji's granddaughter Yuan Ying is familiar with her. The whereabouts of that thing is still unknown. This may be a clue."

He pointed inside the house and said, "Be careful not to cause rumors."

"I obey your command." Li Bian said calmly.

The subordinate's tone of reply was flat and without intonation, and Li Longye was always worried that he didn't understand. This was why he was willing to assign the work to Li Zan even though he knew that Li Zhan was more reliable.

Nothing is perfect. He waved his hands helplessly, and Li Bian disappeared in a flash, much faster than when he came!

The breakfast was rich after all. Li Longye's people had purchased all the necessary supplies. In addition, Nanny Sun's cooking skills were really good, so everyone at the table ate with gusto. The two teenaged medicine boys ate three bowls of white porridge and a bean paste cake.

When Jiang Feng wanted to have a second bowl, Li Longye stopped him and said, "You have just recovered from a serious illness, so don't eat too much."

Jiang Feng looked pitiful, staring at the bamboo shoots with blue eyes. Li Longye looked at the white-bearded old man and added, "Eat small meals frequently. Ask Madam Sun to make chicken soup later, and add some freshly picked white mushrooms."

Nanny Sun also looked at the newly acquired pheasant in the kitchen and thought it would be perfect for making soup.

Since the old man with white beard didn't say anything, Li Longye knew that it was okay. Jiang Feng put down his bamboo chopsticks in dismay.

In the next few days, the old man with white beard continued to give acupuncture every day. The acupuncture points were different, and the needles were different, with different lengths, sizes and shapes. At first, Jiang Feng could still bear it, until the old man took out a 7-inch long, sharp needle, and Jiang Feng said he would not do it anymore.

Nanny Sun had never been able to do anything to Jiang Feng, and it was only after Li Longye's coaxing and tricking that he finally gave in.

There was also a bowl of black, bitter and choking Chinese medicine every day, and Li Longye required that not a drop be spilled or left behind.

It was not until the fifth day when Jiang Feng really vomited from drinking that the old man with white beard stroked his sparse beard and said, "You can stop taking the medicine now."

Sure enough, the next day the needles and medicine were stopped, and Jiang Feng could slowly make sounds. At first, her voice was as unpleasant as the quacking of a duck, but she didn't feel embarrassed, and she kept quacking every day. Who can try not speaking for five days!

Li Longye wished he could mute her again.

Two or three days later, her voice gradually returned to normal, but she became very frugal with words again and refused to say even one more word.

Li Longye wished that she could change back into a duck voice.

Seeing this, the miracle doctor no longer cared about the patient, neither treating him nor sending him away. The implication was that if he didn't want to stay, he could go down the mountain, and if he wanted to stay, he could continue to cook for the three of them.

Li Longye did not mention going down the mountain. He just coaxed Jiang Feng to look at the mountains, clouds and apricots every day. Both of them loved to put effort into eating, racking their brains to study new tricks and instructing Nanny Sun to make them.

Qiu Shan was in a state of panic for a while. Today he was worried about being braised, and tomorrow he was worried about being salted.
