Chapter 53: A Little Change
In the house, after Imperial Doctor Wang left, only Du Xiaomeng and Yu Tianzheng were left. Without the presence of a third party, the situation of a lonely man and a widow alone in a room made Du Xiaomeng easily recall Yu Tianzheng's various bad deeds in the past, which made her feel very uncomfortable.
Yu Tianzheng saw that there was a strand of scattered messy hair stuck to Du Xiaomeng's face, he bent down and stretched out his hand to help her remove the messy hair, Du Xiaomeng shrank back, and a look of resistance flashed on his face.
"Do you still want water?" Yu Tianzheng didn't seem to see the strangeness on Du Xiaomeng's face, he stood up straight and took his hand back as if nothing happened, and asked softly with a gentle smile in his bright eyes.
Du Xiaomeng avoided his gaze a little uncomfortably, and replied, "No need, thank you." ”
This obvious alienated attitude fell in Yu Tianzheng's eyes, and he inevitably felt a little lost in his heart, but he knew that he couldn't make any moves that made Du Xiaomeng feel forced at this time, so he dragged back half a step from the bench he had just sat on for Imperial Doctor Wang, sat down and looked at Du Xiaomeng with a serious expression and said with guilt: "I failed to protect you and put you in danger, I'm sorry." ”
Unexpectedly, Yu Tianzheng would suddenly apologize to himself so seriously, Du Xiaomeng was involuntarily stunned for a moment, and after a while, he raised his eyes and looked at Yu Tianzheng and lowered his head and said weakly: "It wasn't you who captured me, you don't need to apologize." ”
After living for so many years, her luck has never been so good, so she has never had the idea of blaming Yu Tianzheng in this arrest. She just felt that her luck was too bad, but she just ran to report a message, and she could still be recognized and caught by someone when she changed her appearance and changed her outfit and acted cautiously and low-key, isn't this bad luck?
Besides, it was Shangguan Hong who captured her, and it was Shangguan Hong and Yu Tianjun who abused her to fix her, although the main reason why she was arrested was that she had a relationship with Yu Tianzheng, and others thought that her relationship with Yu Tianzheng was extraordinary, but if she hadn't run to the barracks by herself, she wouldn't have had a chance to catch her, let alone a series of things that happened later.
After listening to Du Xiaomeng's words, Yu Tianzheng's face not only did not relax, but he twisted his eyebrows and said with a more solemn expression: "If it weren't for me, you wouldn't be innocently involved in this incident." I'm the one who caused you, and no matter what, it's my fault that you got what you are now, I'm sorry. ”
Seeing that Yu Tianzheng insisted that he was at fault, and he had to apologize to himself again and again, Du Xiaomeng felt a little reluctant in his heart. At that time, if she hadn't fallen into the hands of Shangguan Hong and became a hostage in the barracks, Yu Tianzheng, who was likely to defeat Shangguan Hong and his gang, would not have to surrender without a fight, and was escorted back to Beijing by Wuhua Da Tyed. Speaking of involvement, it seems that at that time, she was dragging others back and becoming a burden. However, she thought about it for a while, and felt that Yu Tianzheng's words were not unreasonable, if she had nothing to do with Yu Tianzheng, she had never known such a person, even if her real body was exposed in front of people in the barracks, Shangguan Hong would not have the idea of arresting her, and Yu Tianjun would not have the idea of torturing her to punish Yu Tianzheng.
Since Yu Tianzheng came to apologize sincerely, she said "no need to apologize, this matter has nothing to do with you" and something like that, which inevitably showed that she was like a hypocritical virgin. So, she pressed the little bit of unhappiness in her heart to the bottom, and agreed with the view that Yu Tianzheng indirectly caused her trouble.
At this time, a female voice came in from outside the door: "Your Highness, the slave maid has brought the porridge." ”
"Come in." Yu Tianzheng turned around and said outward.
"Yes."
The person outside the door pushed the door in response, and soon, Du Xiaomeng saw the elderly maidservant who had changed her clothes just now walking in.
The maidservant stepped forward to salute Yu Tianzheng, and only after receiving the permission to be exempted from the courtesy did she turn around and put the tray she was holding on the table. Inside the tray is a large bowl with a lid, and next to it are a small bowl and a spoon.
The lid was gently lifted, and a hot breath immediately came out and quickly entered Du Xiaomeng's nose. Although her body was weak, her sense of smell was much more sensitive than usual, and she immediately smelled the smell of hot porridge. The smell of porridge easily aroused her strong hunger, and the stomach, which had an irrepressible thirst for food, was more like giving birth to a multitude of hands that were struggling to climb outward, eager to rush to the source of the aroma.
Du Xiaomeng, who was controlled by hunger, stared at the bowl in the handmaid's hand with bright eyes, watching her put the porridge into the small bowl, and was tempted to swallow the rising saliva desperately, so as not to be rude to leave saliva in front of others.
Yu Tianzheng saw her actions in his eyes and couldn't help but smile slightly.
He stood up and took the bowl full of porridge from the handmaiden's hand, and said, "It's none of your business here, so stand down." ”
"Yes, Your Highness." The handmaid bowed her head and withdrew.
Du Xiaomeng's attention was all on the bowl of porridge in Yu Tianzheng's hand, and he had no time to care about other things. Her eyes turned to the steaming porridge in the bowl, she didn't notice that Yu Tianzheng sat on the edge of the bed and was very close to her, and she didn't show resistance when Yu Tianzheng helped her sit up and let her lean on her body, and even when Yu Tianzheng put a small spoon and put it to her mouth and said softly, "I'll feed you", she obediently opened her mouth to drink porridge without thinking too much.
The porridge is sweet and has a faint taste of medicinal herbs. Du Xiaomeng has never been good at sweets, this kind of sweet medicine porridge that is completely unsuitable for her taste, she will definitely not eat a bite in normal times, but when she is hungry and panicked, she still cooperates to drink the porridge delivered to her mouth one by one.
A bowl of porridge quickly bottomed out. With some hot porridge to warm her hungry stomach, Du Xiaomeng, who had eased her hunger, finally had the energy to pay attention to other things, and then, she found that her whole body was leaning on Yu Tianzheng's body......
This discovery made her face change involuntarily. She was about to move her body to keep her distance from Yu Tianzheng, but Yu Tianzheng took a step ahead of her and said, "I'll add some more porridge to you, okay?" ”
Du Xiaomeng nodded.
Yu Tianzheng put the bowl on the small table next to the bed, and then helped Du Xiaomeng to pull the quilt behind her back and let her sit down, and then stood up to add porridge to her.
When Yu Tianzheng came back with porridge, Du Xiaomeng hurriedly said before he approached: "Don't bother you, let me do it myself." She tried to reach out and take the bowl, but she barely managed to do the simple act of raising her hand.
Yu Tianzheng saw her actions in his eyes, laughed at her words, and said, "Don't say it's taking a bowl now, I'm afraid you don't even have the strength to hold a spoon, don't force yourself." ”
This is a fact that Du Xiaomeng can't refute, her weak body really doesn't have the extra strength to do anything else except for lying and leaning on it, but she still said stubbornly: "I'm not so weak that I don't even have the strength to hold a bowl." ”
Yu Tianzheng took out a free hand and patted her head gently, and said with a smile: "Okay, if you want your body to recover quickly, don't make trouble." ”
Du Xiaomeng was stunned, and her gaze at Yu Tianzheng was a little strange. Yu Tianzheng's action just now and the tone of his voice reminded her of her grandfather who had appeared in her dream. She remembered that when she was a child, she was afraid of injections and medicines when she was sick, and every time she had to be awkward and unwilling to go to the doctor, and every time she was awkward, her grandfather would pat her head with a kind smile and say something similar to what Yu Tianzheng had just said.
The memories of his grandfather flooded his mind in an instant, and looking at Yu Tianzheng with the aura of a loving father on his head with the memories of his grandfather, Du Xiaomeng's sense of resistance to him suddenly subsided a little.
