Chapter 17 Feeding the medicine by mouth

After a drowsy sleep, Pranyo Lang woke up only to feel a buzzing in his head.

"Princess, you've slept all day, but what's wrong with your body?" Xiao Zhao took care of the affairs of the incense hall and rushed back to the palace, and saw that the sky was almost dark, and then he slowly woke up.

Praruolang's eyelids were still very heavy, and at this time he had a splitting headache, and said hoarsely: "Xiao Zhao, help me pour me a cup of tea." ”

After taking the tea handed by Xiao Zhao, Pan Ruolang drank it in one gulp, and Fang felt that his throat was better.

"Princess, why is your face so red, it can't be a fever, right?" Xiao Zhao looked closely and found that Praruolang's cheeks were flushed, and his lips were chapped and white.

"It's okay, it should be a little feverish, just get some sleep."

Passing over the finished cup, Praruolang's heavy eyelids were closed, and there was a hint of dullness and weakness in his tone.

"No, how can this be allowed to burn, what if the brain is burned and confused, I will go and ask the doctor to come." Xiao Zhao's voice was full of worry, and he prepared to go out as he spoke.

"Hey, don't, don't, I don't want to see a doctor, it's okay, I'll just sleep and sweat, really, you must not ask me for a doctor." Pranya Lang said hurriedly, she hates drinking Chinese medicine the most, black and disgusting, and besides, she is just an ordinary fever, just sweat a little, why make a fuss.

Xiao Zhao had no choice but to sigh, frowned and said, "Then you have to eat something, you can't be sick and hungry again." ”

"Bring me a bowl of porridge."

After drinking the white porridge, Praruolang's head began to be heavy again, and he fell asleep again after retiring from Xiao Zhao.

This night, Praruo Lang had a long dream, in which she was thrown into the furnace, no matter how she shouted, no one came to save her, and her whole body was as if she was burned by fire, and she was uncomfortable.

In a daze, Praruo Lang felt a slightly cool big hand caress her forehead, and there was a small sound in her ears.

"Imperial Doctor Chen, is she in serious trouble?"

"The princess has a very high fever, I have to find a way to let her drink the medicine first, and then carefully regulate it for a few days."

Xiang Shaoqing nodded, helped the sleeping Praruolang up with one hand, leaned on his shoulder, took the medicine bowl in Imperial Doctor Chen's hand, scooped a spoonful of the medicine in the bowl, crossed it to Praruolang's lips, and fed her to drink.

Unconsciously, she only felt that some bitter and unpleasant juice was pouring into her mouth, and she was extremely resistant to the taste in her heart, so she spit out all the juice in her mouth.

Xiang Shaoqing frowned, scooped up another spoonful of decoction and fed it, and saw that Pra Ruolang spit out the medicine again. With helplessness in his eyes, he personally drank a sip of the medicine in the bowl and leaned towards Praruolang's lips.

Praruo Lang only felt that something soft was sticking to her lips, and she pried her mouth open, and the bitter juice flowed into her mouth, and she subconsciously wanted to spit it out, but her mouth was blocked by something, and the juice could only be swallowed down her throat.

After repeating it several times, there was finally nothing to put on again, no bitter juice to feed her mouth, and the drowsiness became lighter and lighter, even if the eyelids were heavy and she still couldn't open her eyes.

The voice in her ears became clearer and clearer, and she heard Xiang Shaoqing say: "Why didn't the princess report her illness?" ”

"Wang ...... King...... The prince forgave the sin, and the slave and maid knew their mistakes, and blamed the slave and maid for not taking good care of them, so that they didn't find out the princess's illness. ”

"The prince forgives the sin, blame the slave and maid for not taking good care."

The voices of the magpie and cuckoo trembled, and their tones were full of panic and self-reproach.

"Lord Wang, it's all Xiao Zhao's fault, I found that the princess's condition was not reported in time, it's all my fault, please punish the prince." Xiao Zhao said tremblingly, she didn't expect that because she didn't go to the doctor last night, Praruolang would burn so badly.

Xiang Shaoqing's eyes were filled with turbulent undercurrents, and he said coldly: "A few of you, each of you will go and get twenty boards, so you can teach a long lesson." ”

"Slow down, ......" At this time, Praruo Lang finally opened his eyes, and his tone was full of weakness.

Xiang Shaoqing's eyes lit up when he heard the voice of the person on the bed, and he immediately stepped forward, seeing that Pan Ruolang opened his eyes, his face also improved, and he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and there was a trace of concern in his voice: "Awake?" Is there anything else wrong with you? ”

Pan Ruolang looked at Xiang Shaoqing in a daze, seeing that he cared so much about himself, a trace of warmth suddenly surged in his heart, and he said weakly: "No matter about their business, I don't want to see the doctor, threaten them not to say it, don't punish them." ”

"Why don't you ask a doctor when you're sick? Do you think your body can really take it? Xiang Shaoqing said coldly, with a hint of annoyance in his tone.

This woman really didn't make people feel at ease, if she hadn't come to visit her today, she found that she had burned so badly. Maybe this woman's brain is burned out now, Xiang Shaoqing thought to himself.

"I ...... I don't want to drink medicine......" Seeing that Xiang Shaoqing seemed to be really angry, Praruo Lang said weakly.

"You...... It's really not worry-free......" Hearing her soft voice, Xiang Shaoqing felt a strange feeling in his heart, twisted his head to the side, and his tone was full of helplessness.

Thinking that he was feeding her medicine with his lips, Xiang Shaoqing felt a little ashamed for the first time, thinking of her soft lips, touched by him, Xiang Shaoqing only felt a sense of dryness and heat all over his body.

"The prince will spare them, it's all my fault, and they are just unintentional."

"That's it, I'll spare you once this time, from now on you must supervise the princess's every meal of medicine to drink it herself, if something happens to the princess again, you don't have to keep this life anymore." Xiang Shaoqing's cold eyes swept over the three people kneeling on the ground, and his tone did not contain a trace of warmth.

"Yes."

……

Seeing that they all responded, Xiang Shaoqing no longer looked at Pan Ruolang, and became more and more irritable in his heart, and hurriedly said: "Langlang is recuperating with peace of mind, I will come to see you later." ”

After speaking, he walked away quickly, covering his chest, why did he feel panicked inside.

It didn't take long for Yu Ke to come to the Peony Courtyard, carrying an elegant food box with his own hands, and when Yu Ke took out the pastries in the food box one by one, Pan Ruolang looked at the tempting snacks on the plate, and only felt that the tip of his nose lingered with a hint of sweetness.

"I heard that Langlang is sick, presumably you don't have much appetite to eat now, so I made a few plates of appetizing dim sum to bring, and asked Langlang not to dislike it." A gentle voice sounded from Yu Ke's mouth, and the blue glass eyes reflected the pale little face of Pan Ruolang at this time.

Praruo Lang sat up, moved in his heart, took a piece of sour plum paste and took a bite, only to feel that it melted in his mouth, and the sweet and sour was delicious, so he couldn't help but eat a few more pieces.

"Thank you." Praruolang was completely full of affection for Yu Ke at this time, and already regarded her as a friend, and sighed in his heart that Yu Ke was such a stunning beauty that she was willing to be a concubine in the palace, which was really a tyrannical thing.

"Don't thank me, if you like it, I'll do it for you often in the future, okay?" Yu Ke smiled softly, took out a silk handkerchief and gently wiped away the pastry residue on Pan Ruolang's lips.

Praruo Lang shook his heart with a smile from her, nodded stunned, and muttered:

"Yu Meiren, how can you be so good-looking."

Yu Ke was stunned for a moment when he heard this, pursed his lips and smiled: "Langlang is also very good-looking." ”

It's really a demon, Praruolang complained in his heart, looking at Yu Ke's face, he always felt that something was weird, but he didn't understand where the blame was.

"You said that you are such an excellent cook, why do you want to marry Xiang Shaoqing as a concubine?"

Yu Ke's smile gradually faded, and a touch of sadness crossed his eyes, should she tell her about herself, but would she hate herself because of it.

After a long time, a trace of bitterness hung on the corner of Yu Ke's mouth: "I'm not his concubine, it's just an identity he uses to protect me." ”

"Huh?" Pranya Lang was a little puzzled, why did he protect her in this way?

"Well, it doesn't hurt to tell you, Langlang, would you like to listen?" Yu Ke smiled with relief, he was willing to open his heart to someone other than Xiang Shaoqing for the first time, although he knew that he might lose Langlang's friend by doing so, but he didn't want his friend to know nothing about him.

"Don't force what you don't want to say." Pra Ruolang patted Yu Ke's slender and white hand comfortingly.

"Actually, I'm originally from the North." Yu Ke said, his eyes shining far away, and continued:

"Because my eyes were blue since I was a child, people thought I was a symbol of bad luck, and I was born without a father, and people said that I was the child of a mother and a wolf, so I had a pair of different colored pupils."

Speaking of this, Yu Ke's voice slowly deepened, and a strong sadness passed in his blue eyes.

Praruolang's heart was sour, and he couldn't help hugging Yu Ke, and comforted him softly: "Don't believe what others say, you are so beautiful, you are a child gifted by God." ”

Yu Ke was surrounded by a warm embrace, his mood gradually stabilized, and then said:

"Later, there was a famine in the northern country one year, and many cattle and sheep died of starvation, and people said that it was me, an unlucky child, who brought disaster to the northern country, and they insisted on sacrificing me to heaven and asking for forgiveness from God."

After hearing this, Pranya Lang was angry in his heart, which country and which era did not have a famine, and actually wanted to sacrifice the living, thinking that in this way he could escape the famine? What a bunch of stupid people.

"My mother hid me when she found out, and when I was ten years old, I was hidden in the elevated area, and I watched the crazy people tie my mother up on the elevated road, and then she was burned to death by the fire, I couldn't believe my eyes, and my heart was so shocked that when the people dispersed, I went to see the people on the elevated shelf, but found that my mother was burned to the bone, and I hated them." Yu Ke's blue pupils became deeper and deeper, and hatred was deeply embedded in his eyes.

"Then I ran and ran, and then I fainted from hunger, and when I woke up I was a slave in a prison car."

Speaking of this, Yu Ke's eyes were dyed with a painful look, and Pan Ruolang listened quietly, seeing him trembling and saying, "You don't know, in fact, I am not a daughter. ”

"What?!" Praruolang thought that he had heard it wrong and couldn't believe his ears, but if Yu Ke was a man, why would he dress up as a woman all day long?

Praruolang's heart shook suddenly, and finally knew where Yu Ke was weird, it turned out that his body had a kind of aura that women lacked, no wonder he was so tall, no wonder he had deep facial features, I just thought he was a mixed race, but I didn't expect him to be a man.

Yu Ke closed his eyes in pain, crystal tears cut down his pale face, and the trembling and fear in his voice sounded:

"I was kept in a slave camp for a long time, and it was dark and smelly. Because of my unusual appearance, the slaves who were locked up in the same place punched and kicked me, urinated on me, humiliated me, and then I passed out and when I woke up I found me lying on a bed. ”
