Xiao Qing quickly returned with the medicine. Jiang Hao went to the kitchen and brewed it himself, reducing three bowls of water to one before carrying it to Bai Suzhen's bedside.
"Master Xu, Xiao Qing can feed me," Bai Suzhen said, pursing her lips.
The medicine was so bitter that Bai Suzhen did not want to drink it. If she sent Xu Xian away, she could have Xiao Qing secretly pour it out.
Xiao Qing reached over to take the bowl. "Yes, Master Xu, I'll feed Sister. There's no need to trouble yourself with these things."
Jiang Hao firmly shook his head and dodged Xiao Qing's hand. "I'll do it."
Xiao Qing's hand froze halfway toward the medicine bowl.
An embarrassed expression appeared on Bai Suzhen's face.
He scooped up a spoonful, gently blew on it by his lips, and once it was the right temperature, brought it to Bai Suzhen's mouth. Every movement was incomparably tender.
Watching Jiang Hao's actions, Bai Suzhen felt only sweetness in her heart and gently opened her mouth.
Even if it were Crane Crown Red poison, she would have swallowed it.
Xiao Qing rolled her eyes behind them. Why put yourself through this?
Jiang Hao found it amusing instead. If you lied, you had to pay a small price.
After Bai Suzhen finished the bowl of medicine, Jiang Hao checked her pulse again. He nodded. "It's eased somewhat compared to before. It must have been a sudden onset just now, which made it seem severe. Take the medicine and get some sleep. It should ease by tomorrow."
"However, this illness needs long-term treatment. From now on, I'll prescribe a dose for you every day," Jiang Hao said.
Bai Suzhen nodded lightly.
"It's very late. I should head back," Jiang Hao said, rising to leave.
