Chapter 181: Falling Ill
After Ruan Yuyi rinsed her mouth, she leaned on the bed, frowning and bearing the discomfort of her body.
Mu Xiang was worried when she saw it, and said softly, "Niangniang, the slave maid has already ordered someone to decoct the new medicine, and Imperial Doctor Ning said that you can put some sugar in it, and you can drink some later, so that the disease will get better quickly." โ
She shook her head slightly, her black hair scattered behind her.
That's the reason, she won't not understand. But she really couldn't drink it anymore, and as soon as she smelled the smell of the medicine, her stomach surged, and she barely drank it, and it was stuck in her throat, and it turned around.
Mu Xiang had no choice, so he decocted the medicine left and right first, and said whether he took it or not.
Cen Li, who was guarding the outer room, saw the figure of the Xuanyi and bowed, but he was not surprised at all.
He wanted to walk to the inner room, but suddenly he remembered something, and took off his robe. Wen Pheasant raised the soft curtain of flowers and took the cold coat that was still stained with snow beads on the collar.
When he came in, Ruan Yuyi was closing her eyes and pretending to sleep. The thin sweat on her forehead had been wiped away, but there were still traces of her hair being wet, and half of her face was sunk into the soft pillow, and her black hair and snow skin were particularly eye-catching.
His heart tightened slightly.
He had never forgotten her sins, nor her useless goodness, which he hated, and now that she was uncomfortable, he secretly scorned karma and retribution, but there was no joy in his heart.
She looked really fragile now, as if she was about to leave. There was a sense of uneasiness in his heart, and the appearance of the little lady in his dream dying gradually coincided with the person in front of him.
He had seen the little lady's determination to treat the eldest son of the Cheng family.
For him, she was afraid that this was even more so.
"I've seen Your Majesty." Mu Xiangfu's saluting voice brought his mind back.
He ignored it, walked straight to her couch, sat down on the edge of the bed, and grabbed one of her wrists, which was as thin and snowy as white porcelain, as if he would shatter his hand with the slightest exertion.
She was almost groggy and about to fall asleep, but she was awakened by the pain in her wrist and frowned and snorted. Seeing the person in front of her, she struggled to get up and salute.
Jiang Huaiyang pressed the person and didn't let her get up, and inadvertently glanced at the wrist that Fang Cai was pinching, only to realize how strong Fang Cai had done.
She grabbed the brocade mattress at her side and curled the corners of her lips hard, "Your Majesty still don't stay for a long time, the concubine is afraid that she will be sick for you." โ
His eyes were slightly gloomy, "I just came, and Ling Ling is in a hurry to drive me away?" When he came, the outside of the palace was as calm as usual, and it was only when he entered her dwelling that he could know what was going on inside.
If it weren't for Cen Lilai, would she have kept it a secret?
"I will feed you the medicine myself," he told the palace people to bring the medicine.
The spoon collided with the edge of the bowl, striking out a sound like gold and jade, but the medicinal juice inside was brown, swaying slightly, and exuding a bitter and rich herbal flavor.
Her face turned pale, and she tried to escape, "Your Majesty, the concubine will use it later." โ
He held back a group of palace people, took a sip of decoction, grabbed her chin, and leaned over.
When she was sick, her eyes always had water in them, and now she couldn't hold back, and the heat slipped from her cheeks and fell into the lips of the two of them.
The bitter smell of medicine tossed between her lips and teeth, and she forgot her resistance to the medicine for a while, and he couldn't help but swallow it.
The warm liquid slid through the throat and into the abdomen. She leaned against his shoulder, pushing the man away, her lips open to breathe, the red of her ears adding some blood to her.
In his ears was his hoarse voice, "How? A candied fruit was placed to her lips.
She hesitated, opened her mouth, and didn't know if it was intentional, but the wet lips touched his fingertips, causing him to breathe heavily. She bent her eyes and smiled, "Thank you, Your Majesty." โ
The sweetness and sourness of the candied fruit dilute the taste of the medicine, and it is rare that the medicine does not go back to the throat. She paused, then asked, "There seems to be sugar in this bowl of soup?" โ
He hummed and tasted it. He held the bowl in one hand and handed it to her.
She was stunned, she didn't expect to reach out to pick it up.
"What, do you still want me to continue feeding?" He thought about it for a moment, and felt that it was not impossible.
She couldn't respond, the tips of her ears were so red that they were almost dripping blood, and she held the porcelain bowl in both hands, wanting to take the potion. But he didn't let go, she had to look up at him.
Jiang Huaiyang motioned for her to take the spoon, "I'm afraid that you will spill it and cause trouble to the palace people." He said casually.
She was a little unconvinced, and she became weak like that.
The little lady pinched the spoon, and her fingertips were a little warmer than the white of the porcelain bowl, like a good mutton fat jade, just ordinary movements, which were already very pleasing to the eye.
She was scared to vomit before, and she vomited whatever she ate. Goodbye to this medicine, naturally resist.
But when Imperial Physician Ning heard that she couldn't drink it, he added a non-destructive medicinal property to it, but it could make her swallow better. In addition, sugar was added to the decoction, so I can use it a little bit now.
He looked at her cautious appearance, but his heart was a little panicked.
- In her eyes, she didn't know what kind of jackal, tiger and leopard she saw him, so she would drink the medicine room, and she subconsciously looked at him.
Seeing that the decoction had reached the bottom, he casually put the porcelain bowl on the side of the table. He took a small box the size of a palm from his sleeve, pulled a round grain, pushed it against her lips, and pushed it in.
She didn't dare to enter, but held the back of her teeth, "What is this?" She suppressed her voice so that her voice didn't sound so muffled.
He could tell at a glance that she hadn't eaten, chuckled, and spat out two words, "Poison." โ
Ruan Yuyi's face froze for a moment, and then she burst into a smile. She said in a low voice, "The concubine believes that Your Majesty will not. As she spoke, her trembling fingertips revealed her true state of mind.
How did she know he wouldn't. It wasn't like he hadn't thought about it before.
He was silent, his gaze falling on her beautiful face. Compared to the expression on her brother when she mentioned her brother in Chang'an Palace, she was smiling very reluctantly now.
She hesitated for a long time, but finally took the grain in her mouth. As soon as it touches the side of the tongue, the sweetness spreads.
She suddenly relaxed, leaned back, and muttered, "It's sugar." โ
He picked up a strand of her hair and repeated, "It's caramel candy." "The concubine gave him this kind of candy when he was a child. Although there are endless sugar grains in the form of the side now, when he was young, this sugar was a rarity.
The grain of candy tossed and turned in her mouth, and while feeling the sweetness, she said tentatively, "Your Majesty, the concubine has been ill recently, and I am afraid that she will not be able to manage the affairs of the harem perfectlyโcan you send someone to assist the concubine?" โ
She moved to his side, her warm body pressed against his arm.
He raised his eyebrows slightly, he really never thought that he had already sent the power to her, and she would still think about dividing it, and she was not afraid that she would not be able to take it back after the big deal.
But her current body really can't bear those complicated matters.
He bowed his head and tucked the brocade for her.
