Chapter 919: Hanging On To One Breath

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Lying on the wide bed, Ye Muyu suddenly thought of Chu Heng, who had gone to Jing City to take the exam.

Counting the time, there was about half a month before the exams. She wondered if Chu Heng had arrived in Jing City.

As she thought about it, she slowly fell asleep.

The next morning…

She was just about to eat breakfast when Li Qian came.

He walked straight in. When he saw the white porridge on the table, he instantly felt a little disgusted.

“Do you eat this in the morning?”

Ye Muyu nodded. “There are also salted duck eggs, a plate of side dishes, and steamed buns.”

“This food is too simple.”

“I thought you’d have a good meal. What a waste. I didn’t even eat breakfast and came to look for you on an empty stomach.”

“Young Master, you can have a try. It’s not good for children to skip breakfast,” Ye Muyu suggested.

“Firstly, seeing that you’re serious about inviting me, I’ll give it a try. Secondly, I’m not a child.” Li Qian’s attitude was firm.

Ye Muyu smiled and did not explain anything. She called for someone to send over another bowl of porridge.

Ye Muyu peeled the salted duck egg and took a bite, revealing the golden yolk inside.

As she drank the white rice porridge, the taste of the two together was excellent.

“Why is the egg yellow?” Li Qian looked up curiously.

“Young Master, do you want to try?” Ye Muyu suggested.

“Sure, I’ll try.”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Ye Muyu asked Su Mei to peel it for him and cut it into small pieces.

Li Qian quickly scooped a piece with a spoon and took a bite. His small face was still wrinkled, but he slowly ate more and more.

Soon after, the soup dumplings were served.

Li Qian did not even need to say anything and picked one up.

“Slow down, there’s soup in the bun. It’s very hot,” Ye Muyu reminded him.

Li Qian had just bitten the skin of the bun when he heard it.

Unfortunately, his lips were already scalded.

He quickly spat out the bun and blew on it a few times before continuing to taste it.

“Why are the buns here so strange? The buns I’ve eaten before are all very big. Even the small crystal buns wouldn’t have such fresh soup or such hot soup.”

Ye Muyu thought to herself, ‘If they have to wait for the Eldest Young Master to eat, the buns will probably only be warm. The soup dumplings taste better when eaten hot.’

“Young Master, eat slowly. There’s no hurry.”

Li Qian snorted twice and ignored her. However, his actions were very honest as he continued to eat the buns.

They finished their breakfast.

“Your chef’s skills are really good. Sell her to me.”

Ye Muyu was speechless.

“I can let our chef teach your chef in your residence.” Ye Muyu gave a rather reasonable suggestion.

“You just can’t bear to let her go. Forget it.” Li Qian pouted.

He stood up and patted his clothes. “Then send your chef to my house first.”

“Let’s go to the military camp.”

Ye Muyu then ordered the servants to send the chef to the residence and left Ye Zhao in the manor. Before leaving, she instructed, “Little Brother, wait here for Han Zhuang’s news. If the herbs are back, send them to the military camp immediately.”

“Sis, I understand.” Ye Zhao quickly nodded.

Ye Muyu then got into the carriage and rushed to the military camp.

They arrived at the military camp.

She went straight to Ye Hao’s tent and saw Old Madam Ye and Madam Han fetching water to change Ye Hao’s dressing.

“Mother, how is Big Brother?” Ye Muyu walked forward and poured hot water for the two of them.

Old Madam Ye took a sip of the water, then took a breath and said, “It’s not good. Doctor Lu bled him last night, but he couldn’t eat anything. He could only be fed some ginseng to survive. Fortunately, you prepared these expensive medicines before coming. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to hold on.”
