Volume 1: Jun Zuo Shou Songhe [Chapter 58] A bowl of "salty soup"
When Su Ying woke up, the room was so quiet that she couldn't hear a sound.
The wound on his shoulder burned like a fire, making his teeth tremble. After falling asleep for a long time, his body was stiff and numb, and the heaviness of his lower body made him completely unable to move. The jade pillow used to support his waist was knocking on his spine at the moment, but it became a burden.
In short, there is no place to be comfortable.
Su Ying sighed lightly, the last time it was so difficult was five years ago.
The door creaked open, and a cool breeze crept in. And with that comes a scent. Su Ying hadn't eaten normally for a long time, and when she smelled this sweet smell, she felt empty in her stomach and was uncomfortably hungry.
Xiao Yuehuai took a bowl of hibiscus yam soup, and as soon as she stepped into the inner room, she met Su Ying's eyes and said in surprise: "The doctor said that you can wake up today, but I don't believe it yet." I didn't expect it to be as he said. ā
She hurried over and placed the bowl of soup on the small table at the head of the bed, intending to examine his wounds. Su Ying dodged and said, "How, how can you bother the princess?" ā
Xiao Yuehuai was stunned and said bluntly: "What is this? During your coma, Xun Chong and I have always taken turns to take care of you, and I have seen your wounds countless times. ā
Su Ying was stunned, and a layer of blush crept up to her ears. He coughed a few times, and his voice couldn't be lowered: "The minister's buttocks... The princess has also seen it? ā
Xiao Yuehuai sighed and stared at him blankly. After a long time, he suddenly reacted, and the heat rushed to his head, and his face was instantly burned red: "That... Not really. Your injuries to your waist and buttocks were handled by the medical officer..."
Su Ying listened, buried his head entirely, and faintly, he saw that even his neck was already a crimson.
Xiao Yuehuai laughed twice, hiding her embarrassment, sat down along the edge of the bed in a serious manner, and said softly: "Xun Chong is not here, presumably you don't want others to wait, so let me come." ā
Su Ying was silent, and let the girl lift the robe covering him.
Xiao Yuehuai was familiar with his movements, took apart the gauze on his shoulder, and carefully wiped away the blood that overflowed on it and the gelatinous substance condensed by the medicinal powder with a silk silk.
The scarlet, hideous flesh was sewn with silk threads and snaked to the shoulder blades, and it was terrifying to look at.
When she took the medicine, she even took care of her breathing. Lang Jun lay obediently on her side, closed her eyes and remained motionless, shivering slightly as her fingertips gently swept over her shoulders.
Xiao Yuehuai thought it hurt him, so she immediately stopped and asked, "Does it hurt?" IāI'll be lighter, and you can bear with me for a while. ā
Su Ying stuffed her head in the crook of her arm and responded in a low voice: "It's okay, princess, go on." ā
Xiao Yuehuai held her breath and sped up to take medicine for him.
After she put on his clothes again, Su Ying slowly raised her head, but her eyes fell on the small case. Xiao Yuehuai glanced sideways, and saw him staring directly at the bowl of soup, so he curled his lips and smiled: "The general has been asleep for so long, he must be hungry." According to the doctor's instructions, I specially cooked this bowl of hibiscus yam soup for you. Do you want to try it? ā
Su Ying asked, "Did the princess do it herself?" ā
His eyes were full of surprise.
Xiao Yuehuai nodded, picked up the spoon, and handed it to him with a spoonful.
Su Ying was really hungry, stretched his neck and leaned over, but the soup suddenly froze when he entered the mouth. The contents of the mouth are salty and astringent, with a hint of sweetness, which is difficult to swallow.
He glanced at the princess cautiously, and seeing that her face was full of nervousness, and seemed to be expecting his reaction, he couldn't help but take a breath and force himself to swallow.
Xiao Yuehuai really asked, "How is it?" Is it tasty? ā
Su Ying laughed dryly twice, and said very well-behaved: "The princess made it, it's delicious." ā
Xiao Yuehuai patted her thigh and said happily: "I know!" Princess Ben is truly talented! The general must be very hungry, so hurry up and eat this bowl, right? ā
Su Ying couldn't laugh immediately, but in the face of the princess's enthusiasm, he couldn't bear to be disappointed, and wanted to take the bowl and drink it in one go, but his arm was injured and he couldn't lift it up at all.
Xiao Yuehuai half-squatted, her eyes shining with starlight, and said to him gently: "General don't move, I'll feed you." ā
She was very patient and fed Lang Jun one bite at a time.
Su Ying didn't know whether to cry or laugh, so she ate the whole bowl of soup that made people's throats dry. He had been thirsty not long after he had not woken up, and now he was even thirstier, but he was too embarrassed to ask the princess for water.
Xiao Yuehuai was greatly encouraged and grinned: "The general is willing to eat, and I will make some tomorrow." ā
Su Ying's throat was extremely dry, and he couldn't even speak at the moment, so he could only smile bitterly and nodded. Xiao Yuehuai was in a good mood, and left with the bowl in a hurry, but Ah Lu was looking at the door, and when she saw her coming out, she grabbed her, and asked in a low voice: "Princess!" The general ate the soup you made? ā
Xiao Yuehuai said proudly: "Yes." He ate very happily. ā
Ah Lu was a little embarrassed: "Princess... The slave maid has just tasted the remaining soup in the pot, and you seem to have put the salt as sugar. ā
"What?" Xiao Yuehuai's hand holding the bowl shook, and her face instantly fell.
She stared at the bottom of the empty bowl and said, "But... But Su Ying ate it all..."
She reacted sharply, shoved the bowl into Ah Lu's hand, and turned around to run back into the house.
Su Ying fell out of bed and was crawling on the ground with difficulty. Xiao Yuehuai exclaimed: "General! ā
She hurried forward, holding his uninjured shoulder on the other side, and struggling to prop him up. Su Ying was flustered, but her whole body was weak and weak, so she could only rely on the princess to support her.
He hesitated, "Why did the princess come back?" ā
Xiao Yuehuai saw that the direction he was crawling in seemed to be going to the table, so she couldn't help blushing, and asked guiltily, "The general is thirsty?" ā
saw Su Ying shake his head into a rattle, and said to her hoarsely: "The minister is not thirsty, the minister just accidentally fell off the couch." ā
Hearing him lie, Xiao Yuehuai looked at him with more and more pity: "The general doesn't have to cover it up for me." Alu has already told me. I'm sorry... I'm a little conceited. Treat salt as sugar, this bowl of soup must be too salty to eat, and I will let you drink it all. Why don't you say a word? It makes me feel guilty. ā
The more she spoke, the more ashamed she became, but Su Ying felt that her chest was pounding and jumping, his eyes were hot, and he stared at the princess deeply: "The minister doesn't want to disappoint the princess." The minister hopes that the princess will always be as happy as she was. ā
Xiao Yuehuai was stunned, facing the deep black eyes, and felt a little moved.
She tried to help him back onto the couch, her eyes were slightly red, and she said, "You rest, I'll bring you water to drink." ā
When Su Ying was lying down again, he was injured in the lower half of his body, and he couldn't help but hiss, and a layer of fine sweat immediately oozed from his forehead.
When Xiao Yuehuai saw it, a pain arose in her heart, and she hurriedly brought the porcelain pot and cup. Su Ying drank several glasses before he eased the dryness in his mouth.
