After Si Kui left, Xue was the only one left in the courtyard, the Tai Hospital was in the depths of the inner palace, few people passed by, and the whole courtyard was quiet and only the sound of her breathing could be heard, Xue had nothing to do, and suddenly remembered Sima Cheng who was kneeling in the corridor before, and thought to himself, I didn't let him get up, and I don't know if he would still kneel there.

However, Xue was still a little angry, and she was worried about whether she would go to the promenade for a while or go directly to the East Palace.

On the other side, Sima Cheng was still kneeling in the corridor, he didn't throw his sleeves away from the snow, and if he had any complaints, he didn't do a good job.

Although Sima Cheng is only the adopted son of the palace, but Sima regards him as his own, after having him, there is no child in the palace, when he was a child, Sima personally taught him etiquette, righteousness and shame, literacy and sword, Shen Xing taught him to discern people's hearts and strategize, Yang Hui took him to practice and drink, and it was also like the stars holding the moon.

But Sima Cheng knew his identity, and knew how to repay his kindness, studied hard and practiced martial arts, and when he grew up, he did not have any problems with the prince and his younger brother, but became a handsome son with both civil and military skills, both ability and political integrity, and enjoyed a good reputation in Dayu.

Maybe it's because he hasn't gotten used to the change of identity, or maybe in his eyes, Xue has always been a special person, an exception, unique.

From the very beginning in the jewelry shop, met by mistake, Sima Cheng felt that Tao Gongzi at that time was a good and small people, and later met again at the Qixi Night Market, at that time, the indifference and alienation in her words, the dodging and avoidance in her eyes, as if she had changed a person, and then Shiqiao met by chance, her forbearance, her crying, her walking on thin ice, Sima Cheng felt that he couldn't understand her.

Later, when the bookstore was burned, her fragility and stubbornness, and when she arrived at the palace and met him for the first time as a "prince", her honesty and approachability, her humility and courtesy when she asked Shen Xing for advice on how to govern the country, and the cowardice and timidity of the White Horse Temple before leaving, until now she has become a real monarch, her eyes have become more resolute, and her temperament has become more calm.

Before seeing the snow, Sima Cheng couldn't imagine that a person could have so many appearances.

Sima Cheng looked on his back, looking at the sky in the deep palace, and estimated that at this moment, Xue should have bandaged his wounds and returned to the East Palace, so he planned to be a punishment when he went to dinner alone.

Suddenly, Sima Cheng remembered the rusty knife pinned to his waist, and a trace of annoyance crossed his eyes, and then he immediately got up and walked quickly towards the Tai Hospital.

When he arrived at the Tai Hospital, Sima Cheng pushed open the door, only to see Xue sitting alone in the huge courtyard, and the bandaged cloth had been untied, and the wound was exposed.

Sima Cheng strode forward, knelt on one knee, and carefully held Xue's hand to check the condition of the wound.

Xue was flattered, her hand shook, she was still thinking about Sima Cheng just now, but in a blink of an eye, this person appeared in front of her eyes, Sima Cheng read back the mind technique?

Xue saw Sima Cheng's serious expression and stared at her hand, although she knew that Sima Cheng was checking her wounds, but Xue was angry, so she made a little temperament and moved her hand away.

Sima Cheng was not annoyed, took out the rusty knife from his waist, presented it with both hands, and said to Xue:

"Please forgive your Highness, my subordinates have come to transfer this knife to the Imperial Doctor, and help the Imperial Doctor diagnose and treat His Majesty. When the imperial doctor returns, his subordinates will go back to receive the punishment. ”

Xue glanced at the rusty knife, but Yu Guang noticed Sima Cheng's cuffs, and the torn sleeve was half-drooping, revealing one of his forearms.

Xue suddenly remembered that Sima Cheng had torn the cuffs just now for himself, and she was suddenly a little moved in her heart, but she didn't want to be cheap like this Sima Cheng, turned her head to look away, and said:

"Your sleeves, go back and let Aunt Ning mend them for you."

When Sima Cheng heard this, he knelt on his knees, leaned over and said:

"Thank you Your Majesty for your care, just find an embroidery girl in the coarse cloth clothes under your subordinates, and you won't bother Aunt Ning."

Aunt Ning is the exclusive maid of Xue alone, and it stands to reason that she shouldn't care about the clothes of a personal guard, Sima Cheng may know that he is wrong, so he doesn't dare to overstep the level and bother Aunt Ning again.

Xue knew that in fact, this was a reward for her subordinates, and she just hoped to repay Sima Cheng's favor, but Sima Cheng refused!!

Xue didn't know what to do with Sima Cheng for a while, remembering that when she was in Shihualou before, Yang Meiniang called him "wood", and at this moment, she could be regarded as really seeing it.

Xue didn't speak, Sima Cheng kept kneeling, and when the two were deadlocked, Si Kui came back.

Seeing that the door of Tai Hospital was open, Si Kui was still wondering what was going on, but he saw that there was one more person next to Xue, and he guessed Sima Cheng's identity by looking at his clothes.

Si Kui approached and saw the rusty knife in Sima Cheng's hand, a trace of relief flashed on his face, and he suddenly understood the reason why he had been worried before.

Sima Cheng knelt at the feet of Xue, Si Kui was inconvenient to treat her, Xue saw Si Kui's embarrassment, so he said to Sima Cheng coldly:

"Get up."

Sima Cheng got up and handed the rusty knife to Si Kui, who carefully examined the rusty knife, and his face showed that he was confident.

Sima Cheng stood behind Xue respectfully, but he still deliberately glanced at the things brought by Si Kui, frowned slightly, he knew that Si Kui was Sima You back then, and couldn't help but squint at Si Kui, he obviously didn't trust Sima You, the imperial doctor who was a monk halfway, so he asked:

"Dare to ask the Imperial Doctor, what is this water?"

Although both of them are officials, in terms of official rank, the personal guards are above the imperial doctor, and Sima Cheng is still the prince of the palace after all, Si Kui bowed to Sima Cheng and explained:

"Lord Hui, this bowl is salt water to clean up the wounds for Your Majesty, this bowl is clear water for wiping blood stains, and this cup, Xia Guan saw that His Majesty lost a lot of blood, and was worried that His Majesty's body was not hydrated, so he specially presented it together for His Majesty to drink."

Xue heard this, she couldn't stop nodding, she was once worried that Sima You had changed his personality because of his physical injury, but because of this glass of water, Xue could be sure that Si Kui was still the original meticulous and meticulous Brother You, Xue couldn't help but show a long-lost smile in front of Si Kui.

Sima Cheng noticed the expression on Xue's face, didn't say anything, and continued to look at Si Kui.

Si Kui knelt down beside Xue, and said to Xue with salt water:

"Your Majesty, this salt water will sting when it encounters a wound, please bear with it."

Xue was in a good mood because of Si Kui's care, and nodded with a smile, but when the salt water touched the wound, Xue instantly changed her complexion, and her body bounced directly off the flat table, almost overturning the bowl of salt water, and Si Kui sat on the ground because of this.

Xue suddenly stood up in pain, she didn't stand firm all of a sudden, her body staggered, Sima Cheng on the side immediately made a decision, protected Xue with her body, supported her shoulders with both hands, and Xue's back leaned directly on Sima Cheng's body.
