Behind the mahogany desk and chair in the cabinet, Shen Jue leaned on the back of the chair, supporting his head with one hand and holding the mahogany table with the other hand.
Deep black eyes looked at Imperial Physician Wen who was standing opposite: "If a man has no Adam's apple, does Physician Wen think it is possible?"
Imperial Physician Wen glanced at Shen Jue behind the desk, pondered for a moment and then said cautiously: "Such a situation exists."
"Some men may be born with some deficiencies, such as being frail or weak at birth, and their Adam's apple may not be obvious."
His fingers on the table paused, thinking of Bai Yuan's small body in his arms.
On weekdays, I often see him wearing robes, and the sleeves are elegant, but you can't tell that his body is thin underneath. Only when you hug him do you realize that his waist is so thin.
Isn't it inherently deficient?
Shen Jue's eyes moved, and then he waved his hand to let the imperial doctor retreat first.
When he was alone in the room, he rubbed his brows tiredly.
There was only one candle left in Bai Yu'an's inner room here. The candle was dim, and the bed curtain was even darker.
Bai Yu'an tossed and turned on the pillow, but with her eyes open, the more she thought about it, the more angry she became.
Every time he closed his eyes, the annoying gasping sound would ring in his ears.
That hateful finger seemed to be still pinching his waist.
She stayed groggy until midnight. In the middle of the night, she couldn't sleep anymore. She suddenly propped herself up and stared at the bed curtain in a daze.
After thinking about it in my mind, I was wearing public clothes at the time, and at first glance I was a man.
Who would be so bold as to intercept a court official in the middle of her journey, and even have the audacity to humiliate her?
And the location where she finally broke free was too coincidental, as it happened to be in the yard where she lived.
Bai Yu'an thought carefully about the details of today's noon. She remembered that the man's actions were very rough at first, and his attack was not serious, but why did he suddenly let her go later.
And the carriage suddenly slowed down.
Bai Yu'an didn't feel how slow it was at the time, but the sound of the wheels didn't sound so urgent.
The man was so strong, and now she felt a little strange why she jumped out of the carriage so smoothly, as if he was waiting for her to break free.
She was blindfolded, and it was easy for the man to hold her.
And that person did such a horrible thing to her, but he didn't touch her body, as if he knew she was injured.
The more Bai Yu'an thought about it, the more wrong it became, and the more he thought about it, the more flustered he became.
Why did that person tie her up and send her back? Was it just to insult her? !
Her yard is next to Shen Jue's. There are almost no carriages passing by on weekdays, and there is an alley opposite to the street.
Bai Yu'an felt that that person should know that she lived here.
But Shen Jue seemed to be the only one who knew she lived here.
Bai Yu'an thought about the fact that he had been scorned by this scoundrel last time at his uncle's house. How could it be such a coincidence?
But she had just had an unpleasant encounter with Shen Jue, and she thought that this man would not retaliate against her like this.
Bai Yu'an was puzzled and had no intention of sleeping.
Today's cane punishment in front of the palace door came back to his mind, and his fingers couldn't help but tighten the brocade quilt again.
She would rather be demoted to Jiuliang than stay here in such humiliation.
Can't sleep anymore.
He simply gritted his teeth and climbed up, enduring the pain and walked to the table in front of the window.
As soon as I opened the window, the wind and snow poured in, and my long hair was blown away and hit my face. The hair streaked my cheeks, bringing a coolness that penetrated my skin.
She finally calmed down and closed the window again.
I lit another lamp in front of the table, took out a wolf hair, dipped it in ink, and used a dry pen to write dragons and snakes on the rice paper. I also used a thin pen to add vermillion, and red plums on the vigorous branches.
After finishing a painting, Bai Yu'an still felt that his heart had not yet calmed down.
So I took out another piece of rice paper, dipped it in ink, propped it up on the table and started dictating the poems and essays in "Selected Works of Xunle".
Bai Yu'an wrote this all night long.
When A Tao came in the next day, he looked at the words on the table and on the ground, and then looked at Bai Yu'an, who was lying on the table in a white robe. He quickly went over and stood next to Bai Yu'an, his eyes filled with emotion. Heartache: "Master?"
Bai Yu'an only squinted for a few moments. When she saw A Tao come in, her tired brows sobered up a little, then she staggered over and lay down on the bed and closed her eyes.
It was still dark outside, and the whistling wind and the sound of the bamboo forest came through the window, making it slightly noisy.
A Tao walked to the bed worriedly and saw Bai Yu'an with her long hair disheveled and half of her face buried in the pillow with her eyes half closed.
The black hair blocked half of his face, and he could only see that the pure, elegant and upright face was expressionless, and seeing the slightly blue eyes that were tired and dull, A Tao couldn't help but worry and said: "What's wrong, Master?"
The thin white fingertips were pinched on the edge of the bed, and the joints turned white. White Jade Anbei gritted his teeth, and his eyes showed some light again, and he said in a hateful voice: "I feel humiliated in my heart."
A Tao knew that Bai Yu'an was tortured with a cane yesterday, and she had never touched Yang Chun Shui at home since she was a child.
The master loves the young master very much. Apart from letting him study, he has never done anything else. Even when he travels, he is protected by several servants.
Not to mention getting slapped, it was hit in that place again.
Even the stern master in the family was not willing to beat the young master for failing to memorize his books well when he was a child, and only made him stand as punishment.
Who would have thought that Fengfeng Guangguang was admitted to the top three universities, and not only was he imprisoned, but he was also beaten with a cane.
A Tao also felt wronged for Bai Yu'an, but he was not a real man. It was normal for the young master to be unable to bear the beating.
She didn't know how to persuade him, so she just said softly: "Master, don't think about it anymore, just go to sleep."
When Wei Ruyi came in to change the charcoal fire, she was shocked when she saw the scene in the house. There was a layer of writing on the floor, and she didn't know how many words were written on it.
She bent down and picked up two pictures, then looked at the bed.
Chuntao was seen squatting beside the couch, while Bai Yuan looked pale and closed her eyes.
Wei Ruyi also hurriedly walked over, looked at A Tao and asked in surprise: "What's wrong, sir?"
A Tao didn't have time to talk to Wei Ruyi, so she only said: "Young Master is not in a good mood, you go and light the charcoal fire first, and then bring in a basin of hot water after it's done."
Seeing Bai Yu'an's haggard appearance, Wei Ruyi couldn't bear to talk any more, so she said yes and went out to get the brazier.
A Tao looked at the ink stained on Bai Yu'an's fingertips. The black ink made the fingers even paler. She whispered: "Young master, are you hungry?"
Bai Yu'an couldn't eat anything, and he didn't even have the slightest appetite.
A Tao looked at the sky, it was still dark outside the window, thinking that it was still early.
Feeling uncomfortable in her heart, A Tao said softly: "No matter how much you think about it, sir, those things have already happened and should be dealt with in the past."
A Tao didn't know how long Bai Yu'an stayed up last night, but Bai Yu'an's face was pale and there was no sparkle in her eyes. She was obviously tired.
Bai Yu'an was indeed tired, but as soon as she closed her eyes, she felt a sense of humiliation, and she couldn't sleep no matter what.
This feeling was actually very uncomfortable, coupled with the pain behind her, Bai Yu'an took a breath and opened her eyes angrily.
A Tao felt a little distressed when she saw Bai Yu'an like this, so she had to say: "If the young master can't sleep, please give him some medicine first."
When talking about applying ointment, Bai Yu'an's face turned a little pale.
I remembered that day I was slapped in front of Shen Jue, and he found out about his hometown.
Bai Yu'an was so angry that he gritted his teeth and couldn't get angry, so he buried his whole face in the pillow.
A Tao was stunned when she saw Bai Yu'an's actions, knowing that the young master was showing off his temper. It was like this before, and he would just sit alone when he got angry.
A Tao figured out Bai Yu'an's temperament and ignored her at this time. He went to get the medicine and planned to apply it.
Putting down the bed curtain, A Tao looked at Bai Yu'an's wound. After a night, the blood marks on it had scabbed. It is estimated that with a few more medicines, the scab would be healed.
This medicine is still the same bottle that Master Shen brought back. It is very effective. A Tao secretly uses it every time, and Bai Yu'an still doesn't know about it.
She thought A Tao really listened to her and threw the things out.
After applying the medicine, A Tao was about to say a few more words to Bai Yuan not to think too much, but he saw that the person was silent and fell asleep with his eyes closed.
A Tao smiled, he didn't sleep last night, it was strange that he could hold on.
He gently blew out a lamp and went out.
Shen Jue walked in late at night and saw Bai Yu'an sleeping on the bed in the faint candlelight.
His expression softened and he walked over.
