Chapter 8: Awakening

Li Jinzhi opened his eyes at dawn, and with a touch of his hand, Xiao Yan was immediately awakened, leaning over and hugging Li Jinzhi's shoulders and crying.

Mei Xue leaned on the bedpost and fell asleep, startled by Xiao Yan's cry, and suddenly sat up straight and opened her eyes.

Peng Liang also walked to the side of the bed in a panic, Mei Xue stood up, gently patted Xiao Yan's shoulder and said:

"Get up, let me check again."

Xiao Yan hurriedly stood up, still wiping his tears with his sleeve.

Li Jinzhi looked at Mei Xue with a smile, and there was a starlight in her warm eyes.

He wanted to say "thank you" to Mei Xue, but he only moved his lips slightly with all his strength, and couldn't make a sound.

Mei Xue sat down on the brocade stool that Xiao Yan let go, and after only glancing at Li Jin, she lifted the brocade quilt on his body and said:

"Don't talk, don't waste your energy. If it's okay after I check, you can drink some gruel first. ”

Li Jinzhi blinked his eyes to show that he understood, and Peng Liang hurriedly asked if he wanted to report to the King of Shu.

Xiao Yan was very impatient, kicked Peng Liang and said:

"Where are you talking so much nonsense, hurry up."

Peng Liang was not annoyed, "hehe" smiled and ran out quickly.

Mei Xue was completely undisturbed, only lowered her head and carefully stared at Li Jinzhi's chest, occasionally pressing a few times with her fingers.

The woman was dressed in white and black hair, her fingers were warm and delicate, and she even gently lifted his chin so that she could get closer to his throat.

He could even smell the faint scent of camellia in her hair.

Li Jinzhi's face turned red suddenly, and even his ears turned red.

Mei Xue didn't notice it, but Xiao Yan couldn't care about crying anymore, laughed and mocked Li Jinzhi:

"Cousin, I'll just say that you can't let Peng Liang and Gao Yuan and a few stinky men serve you all day long, you see, Miss Mei is a doctor, just check it out for you, you can be ashamed like this."

Li Jinzhi's face turned even redder, and Mei Xue noticed something strange at this time, so she sat up straight and said to Li Jinzhi:

"This is a necessary step, I have to check it every few days in the future, don't be shy."

Seeing that Li Jinzhi's face was obviously getting redder, Mei Xue almost couldn't hold back her laughter, she didn't want to make Li Jinzhi uncomfortable anymore, so she stood up and said to Xiao Yan:

"From today onwards, I will be in charge of the eldest prince's diet, and I will personally deliver every meal of food and drink.

In addition, the decoction that I drank in the past can be stopped, and I pour a few big bowls of bitter medicine soup every day, how can people still have the appetite to eat? ”

Xiao Yan naturally didn't want Li Jinzhi to suffer, and after listening to Mei Xue's words, his eyes lit up with joy.

The young man, who likes to dress flamboyantly, completely forgot about the emotional impact he received last night at this moment.

Mei Xue nodded at Li Jinzhi, turned around and walked outside.

The light of spring rushed into the house the moment the door opened, and the woman's back was bathed in the spring light, hazy as if in the fog.

Xiao Yan looked at Li Jinzhi's eyes and kept looking at the direction Mei Xue left, so he sat down on the edge of the bed again, and said with a smile:

"Cousin, you can't think of it, do you? The goddess doctor I found was so young?

Moreover, let me tell you, Miss Mei is very refreshing, she doesn't talk much, and she doesn't have the pretentiousness of ordinary girls, but she has a bit of manly arrogance. ”

The smile on Li Jinzhi's face was even stronger, and he couldn't speak, so he had to gently shake Xiao Yan's hand to express his gratitude.

Mei Xue went to the courtyard and asked a mother-in-law to accompany her to the treasury of the palace to get a few medicinal herbs, and then went all the way to the kitchen.

The kitchen steward led his subordinates to line up outside the door, all with respectful expressions.

Originally, people said that the eldest prince was hopeless this time, who would have thought that such a young female doctor could bring the eldest prince back to life.

thought that Mei Xue was going to boil medicine for Li Jinzhi herself, but it can be seen that she put the cleaned herbs and shredded chicken into the porridge, and everyone was surprised.

They cook porridge all day long, and the master asks for anything, but they have never seen medicine added to the porridge in the past.

Wouldn't that be bitter and hard to swallow?

But gradually, they all showed expressions of disbelief, because they did not smell the bitterness of the medicine, but had a faint fragrance rushing to their faces.

After Mei Xue boiled the porridge, the steward hurriedly stepped forward to help put the porridge into the food box, and said with a flattering smile:

"The girl's craftsmanship is really amazing, the old slave has cooked meals for most of his life, and he has never seen a medicine that can be boiled into a sweet taste."

Mei Xue smiled faintly, took the food box that the steward handed over and said:

"The taste of the medicine is different, and if some are mixed together in the right proportion, the taste will change greatly.

If the eldest lady likes it, I can write a recipe for you, and if you have a weak family, you can also boil it to drink to nourish your body. ”

The housekeeper's mother-in-law was surprised and delighted, and hurriedly saluted and thanked Mei Xue.

In the eyes of ordinary people, any exclusive recipe is extremely precious, so there is a saying that there is a recipe for several generations.

But how could this girl from the countryside, so young, be so open-minded?

Thanking her subordinates for their kindness, Mei Xue walked to Zhizhuyuan with the food box by herself.

The late-blooming apricot pollen spreads like a cloud.

Shen Qingyang stood under the apricot tree with his back hand, looking at Mei Xue who was walking slowly with a cold expression.

Mei Xue naturally saw Shen Qingyang, and did not hesitate, and walked to him indifferently to ask what was the matter.

Shen Qingyang sneered and said:

"Miss Mei has worked hard all day and night without rest, but she has to eat for a meal, why do you have to do it yourself?"

Originally, she was a little grateful to Shen Qingyang for the meal she arranged, but now looking at his weird appearance, Mei Xue turned cold again, and said lightly:

"Don't you hope that Li Jinzhi can go back to Beijing with you as soon as possible? I'm doing this to help you. ”

Shen Qingyang snorted sneeringly, reached out and patted a few apricot blossoms that fell on his shoulders and said:

"It's not just about women, it's the same with Li Jinzhi's face.

You're one of the smarter women I've ever met, and you should know what you can and can't do. ”

Mei Xue finally understood what Shen Qingyang meant, and was immediately laughed at angrily, staring at Shen Qingyang's eyes contemptuously and saying:

"It's okay to be dirty in your own heart, but don't think that others are like you.

Even if I met a beggar on the side of the road, if I could cure him, I would do my best. ”

After speaking, Mei Xue turned around and left.

Shen Qingyang's face was dark, staring at Mei Xue's back and saying:

"What kind of woman Li Jinzhi can be with, not only can he not decide by himself, even if he is the king of Shu, he clearly knows that he can't interfere. Otherwise, it will not make the eldest son almost twenty years old and dare not decide to marry. ”

Mei Xue's footsteps didn't even pause, and walked straight along the path in the apricot blossom forest.

At the entrance of the main courtyard, there were two rows of people, and the king of Shu sat in front of Li Jin's bed.

Xiao Yan welcomed Mei Xue in and took the food box in her hand diligently.

The King of Shu's face was still not good, but when he saw Mei Xue, he still bowed slightly, and pointed to the brocade stool next to her to signal her to sit down.

Mei Xue did not sit down, and saluted the king of Shu and said:

"The folk girl needs to go and rest for two hours.

With this kind of medicinal diet, the son can only eat five or six minutes full these days, otherwise his teeth and stomach will be damaged.

After two or three days, the folk girl will add other food to the son according to the situation, and please rest assured. ”

The King of Shu nodded, turned his face to look at Li Jinzhi, and saw that he had been looking at Mei Xue with a smile, so he said to him:

"You remember Miss Mei's words, rest assured, everything is for your father to make decisions for you, don't worry."

As he spoke, the King of Shu also stood up, obviously wanting to leave with Mei Xue.

Xiao Yan sent King Shu and Mei Xue out, Peng Liang opened the food box, and the fragrant smell immediately came to his face, so happy that he hurriedly helped Li Jinzhi to sit up.

After slowly drinking a few sips of porridge, Li Jinzhi could finally speak slowly and said to Peng Liang:

"When Gao Yuan comes back, let him come to see me immediately.

Mr. Song, you go and deliver a message, and ask him to arrange someone to take care of the princess, and there must be no mistakes.

Peng Liang nodded again and again, and said in a low voice:

"These subordinates all remember it, and the master just needs to recuperate with peace of mind."

Li Jinzhi lowered his eyes and smiled, and the hand holding the silver spoon trembled uncontrollably.
