Chapter VIII
Chu Yunxi opened the lattice at the head of the bed and took out a small bottle of gold sore medicine from it. Holding the medicine bottle, he dipped a little ointment with his index finger and carefully spread the ointment on Feng Lan's shoulder.
It was a delicate piece of skin, and Chu Yunxi only felt that the touch was a little better than that of fine silk.
As if remembering something, Chu Yunxi lightly rolled up Xia Fenglan's trouser legs.
A touch of red on the knees looks particularly eye-catching on the fair skin.
Chu Yunxi slowly stretched out his hand and carefully touched the area around his knee, fortunately, Feng Lan's knee was only a little red and was not injured. Rao is like this, Chu Yunxi still feels distressed. I just think that the queen mother has done too much.
Maybe it hurt a little from being touched, Xia Fenglan frowned and snorted lightly.
Chu Yunxi immediately withdrew his hand, dipped a little ointment from the medicine bottle, and carefully wiped the red and swollen places on his knees.
"Feng Lan, from now on, this king will not let you receive any more harm." Chu Yunxi said, a trace of seriousness flashed in his dark eyes.
"Your Highness," Jin Ci said, knocking on the door outside, "hot water has been prepared." ”
After pulling the quilt next to her and covering Xia Fenglan's whole person, Chu Yunxi spoke: "Come in." ”
After Jin Ci put the hot water on the shelf on the side, Chu Yunxi let people out.
After testing the water temperature and feeling that the temperature was just right, Chu Yunxi took the towel on the side. Sitting on the edge of the bed, he took off Feng Lan's underwear lightly, and the plain belly pocket appeared in front of him, and the patterns on it were a little old.
Chu Yunxi frowned, thinking for a while that he would ask someone to make some new belly pockets for Feng Lan. Her princess, how could she be so shabby.
Holding the towel, Chu Yunxi wiped Xia Fenglan's hot body little by little.
With the hot water of licorice added, there was a cool feeling when rubbed on the body, and Xia Fenglan's slightly frowning brows gradually expanded.
After wiping, Chu Yunxi also had a lot of sweat on his forehead, Chu Yunxi lifted his sleeves, wiped the sweat on his forehead, and breathed a sigh of relief.
The Imperial Doctor came quickly and checked Xia Fenglan's pulse.
"The princess just ate the wrong thing." Imperial Doctor Wei said, "It's no big deal, the minister prescribes antipyretic medicine for the princess, and the princess takes it, and she will be fine when she wakes up tomorrow." It's just that I ask Your Highness to pay attention to it in the future, this kind of disease, Yan zhòng, will hurt his life. ”
"It's the king's carelessness." Chu Yunxi said, "This king will pay attention to it in the future." ”
"The princess is really blessed to be so cared for by His Royal Highness." Imperial Doctor Wei said. The daughter of the imperial physician Wei was the concubine of the fourth daughter of the first emperor, and she was lonely all her life in the deep-walled compound, and finally died of depression.
"Being able to marry Feng Lan is the blessing of this king's life." Chu Yunxi said, looking at Feng Lan who was lying on the bed, with a trace of warmth in her deep eyes.
"If back then, the Fourth Highness could have ......" Imperial Doctor Wei had a little nostalgia and sadness in his eyes, "Your Highness, the minister has lost his word." ”
"The mood of the imperial doctor, this king understands." Chu Yunxi said
"The minister retired first." Imperial Doctor Wei said.
"Mo Lan, send the Imperial Doctor back." Chu Yunxi commanded.
Chu Yunxi handed over the prescription to Jin Ci and asked Jin Ci to decoction and take the medicine according to the imperial doctor's recipe.
The jet-black liquid has an unpleasant smell.
Chu Yunxi helped Xia Fenglan and let her lean into his arms.
"Feng Lan, wake up." Chu Yunxi patted Xia Fenglan's cheek.
"Hmm......" Xia Fenglan snorted lightly, her closed eyes opened a slit, with a little moisture. The clear eyes were a little confused.
"Drink some medicine and go to sleep." Chu Yunxi said, handing the medicine bowl to Xia Fenglan.
The smell of medicine was very pungent, Xia Fenglan frowned, and turned her head: "Don't drink it." ”
"Be good, drink it, and the disease will be cured." Chu Yunxi patiently coaxed Xia Fenglan, she was a human being in two lives, and this was the first time she took care of someone.
Xia Fenglan frowned tightly and took a sip, her mouth was full of bitter medicinal juice, which was disgusting, and Xia Fenglan couldn't help but spit it out. Chu Yunxi immediately took the brocade next to her and wiped it clean for Xia Fenglan, not caring about what Feng Lan spit on her clothes.
Half a bowl of medicinal juice, Xia Fenglan spit out most of it.
Chu Yunxi frowned, drank the remaining half bowl of medicinal juice, and poured it into Xia Fenglan's lips little by little.
A long kiss, but without the slightest hint of lust.
Xia Fenglan seemed to see a pair of deep eyes in a daze. Those eyes, reflecting her figure, were full of pity.
Helping the person who fell asleep again to lie back on the bed, Chu Yunxi looked down at himself who was in a mess, and went out to call Jinci to prepare the bath water.
After tossing for most of the night, changing into clean clothes and coming out, Chu Yunxi was also a little tired and couldn't open his eyes.
With his feelings, touching the edge of Xia Fenglan's bed, Chu Yunxi lay beside Xia Fenglan.
A ray of sunlight in the early morning shines into the house, adding a touch of warmth to the house.
The heat hit her face one after another, and Xia Fenglan's slightly curled eyelashes fluttered slightly, and she slowly opened her eyes.
Chu Yunxi's enlarged cheeks were close in front of him, Xia Fenglan was stunned, and then a flush appeared on her cheeks.
"Awake?" Chu Yunxi looked at Xia Fenglan, her voice was hoarse with the one she had just woken up, Chu Yunxi said, and slowly approached Xia Fenglan.
Xia Fenglan's heart beat a few beats faster, only to feel that her cheeks were getting hotter and hotter.
Chu Yunxi stretched out his hand to Xia Fenglan.
Xia Fenglan subconsciously shrunk her neck and moved her body back. The bed was not big, and Xia Fenglan moved it, and the whole person was stuck on the wall.
"Don't move." Chu Yunxi said in a low voice.
Xia Fenglan had no choice but to stay still.
After a while, Chu Yunxi's palm was already on Xia Fenglan's forehead, and his palm was a little cool.
Feeling the temperature under the palm of his hand, Chu Yunxi hooked the corners of his mouth and showed a satisfied smile: "Yes, the heat has subsided." ”
"Heat?" Xia Fenglan blinked, a little unclear.
"You had a high fever last night, and you tossed for most of the night." Chu Yunxi said, "The imperial doctor has prescribed a prescription, and I will drink another bowl in a while." ”
As soon as Chu Yunxi said this, Xia Fenglan vaguely remembered some scenes from last night. Your Highness, it seems that she was fed medicine.
"Feng Lan disturbs His Highness." Looking at the dark green under Chu Yunxi's eyes, he knew that Chu Yunxi had almost never slept all night. When she was ill, His Royal Highness not only immediately invited the imperial doctor to come, but also personally took care of her for most of the night. Thinking like this, Feng Lan's heart couldn't help but be a little moved.
"You are the princess of this king, and this king should take care of you." Chu Yunxi said, "It's also that this king is not good, I don't know what you are afraid of, and I made you suffer." ”
"I don't blame Your Highness." Xia Fenglan shook her head and said, "Feng Lan usually doesn't have any taboos. ”
"In the future, let the subordinates pay more attention." Chu Yunxi said.
"Hmm." Xia Fenglan nodded her head.
"It's still early, and you've been sick for most of the night, so rest a little longer." Chu Yunxi said to Xia Fenglan.
"Doesn't Your Highness have to go to court?" After Chu Yunxi got married, he had the right to inherit and was qualified to participate in court politics.
"Going to court?" Chu Yunxi hooked the corners of his mouth, revealing a mocking smile, "I'm afraid that this king won't be able to go to the court for the past three days, no, maybe, this king won't be able to participate in court politics for the rest of his life." ”
"But...... What's going on? Xia Fenglan pursed her lips and asked.
"Nothing." Chu Yunxi shook her head, it was just the intrigue of the royal family, and she subconsciously didn't want Xia Fenglan to get involved.
Xia Fenglan lowered her eyes, hiding a trace of gloom in her eyes, and didn't ask any more.
The atmosphere between the two fell into an eerie silence.
"This king still has some things to do, so let's get up first."
"Your Highness," Jin Ci knocked on the door, "Jin Ci has something to report." ”
"Come in." Chu Yunxi said.
With permission, Jin Ci pushed the door in, followed by Jin Xia with a medicine bowl.
"Your Highness, it's time for the princess to drink medicine." As if she was afraid that Chu Yunxi would remove herself, Jinxia kept her head down and didn't dare to look at the two, and her voice was very small.
Smelling the smell of the medicinal juice, Xia Fenglan frowned imperceptibly.
"Good medicine is bitter." Chu Yunxi took the medicine bowl from Jinxia's hand and handed it to Xia Fenglan.
Xia Fenglan closed her eyes and drank them all, only to feel that her mouth was full of bitter taste. Immediately felt something stuffed into her mouth, Xia Fenglan tasted it, the sweet taste.
"It's the osmanthus candy of 'Xifulou'." Chu Yunxi explained, "You can go to the bitter taste." ”
Xia Fenglan lowered her head, her cheeks a little hot.
"Jinci, what do you have to report?" Chu Yunxi turned his head and asked Jinci.
"Back to Your Highness." Jin Ci had a calm face and said, "Mo Lan sent two maids to Xia Mansion today according to His Royal Highness's instructions, unexpectedly, Mrs. Xia said that if she accepted these two maids, it would not be clear to the world that the people of Xia Mansion were useless, and they were all sent back." ”
"This Mrs. Xia is bold." Chu Yunxi narrowed his eyes and said. In this world, there are not many people who dare to refuse her.
"Mrs. Xia and Concubine Li are clan relatives, and they are covered by Concubine Li, so they are naturally rampant." Jin Ci said.
"Your Highness, maid...... What's going on? Hearing about the matter of Xia Mansion, Xia Fenglan asked out loud.
"Princess, you don't know anything." Jinxia was the fastest, and hurriedly replied, "Your Highness sent two maids to serve your mother early this morning. Who knew that the people of Xia Mansion were so faceless that they dared to retreat! ”
"Take care of ...... Mother? Xia Fenglan looked at Chu Yunxi, and her eyes were full of love that she couldn't see.
"I wanted to take you back to Xia Mansion today." Chu Yunxi said, "It's a pity that you are so sick that you should not go out." Therefore this king asked him to go and serve your mother first, so that you would not be worried. ”
"Why is Your Highness so good to Feng Lan?" Xia Fenglan said, her voice was a little choked.
"It's just a little thing, it's nothing." Indeed, compared to what Feng Lan paid for her in her previous life, what are these things?
Xia Fenglan lowered her head, only feeling that her eyes were a little moist. For Her Highness, it is not a trivial matter, but for her, it is a great favor.
"Jin Ci, have the account books been sorted out?" Chu Yunxi asked.
"Back to Your Highness, it's all right." Jin Ci replied.
"That's good." Chu Yunxi nodded, put on a piece of clothing and got up.
Seeing this, Xia Fenglan also wanted to get up, but was pressed back to the bed by Chu Yunxi: "What are you moving, your body is not yet well, lie down obediently." Jinxia, you stay and serve the princess. ”
"Your Highness." Xia Fenglan called Chu Yunxi and handed Chu Yunxi a cloak, "It's windy outside, take care of your body." ”
Let Jin Ci tidy up her clothes, Chu Yunxi put on her cloak, the corners of her mouth rose slightly, there is a princess who will care about her, this feeling, it's really good.
