Alternate Performances of the East Palace, Section 38
Care?
Thinking about it this way, yesterday she was waiting outside the study, and it was only when she stood for a long time and beat her legs that he saw her, and he closed the door to chase her; It was also dark and cold today, so he ordered someone to send her back......
It seems a bit far-fetched.
She wasn't sure if she was thinking too much, but she always vaguely felt that Ning Xun seemed to pay extra attention to her body. Maybe it's because she is the only one in Beijing who can dance the peach?
In that case...... Take a gamble. Anyway, she can't get out, so it's better to let him come over.
With a decision, he jumped down from the couch and said, "Tell them to bring in the water, and say I want to bathe." β
Taking advantage of the empty space where the cicada clothes were prepared, the pond opened all the windows in the house.
No matter how hot the charcoal pot burned, it couldn't withstand the four blows, and it didn't take long for the house to cool down.
When the water was ready, she went over and tested the temperature.
The water is warm, and even if a cool breeze blows, you will not get too sick, so you will not be afraid of mistakes.
Cicada Yi was shivering because the room suddenly cooled down, and when she turned her head, she saw that her girl was wearing only a middle coat, standing by the bathtub and scooping water, and pouring her head down.
She was startled and was too busy to close the window, but was stopped by the chichi: "Wait two quarters of an hour before closing." β
As she spoke, she had completely drenched herself, her clothes clinging to her body, her long hair dripping with water, and a gust of wind came in and blew her cold in an instant.
The hand holding the tub slowly clenched.
She already hated the feeling of being wet and cold, not to mention that at this time, her body was heavily wrapped in soaked clothes and fell downβshe suddenly remembered the lake in the backyard of the Guogong Mansion.
It's cold.
I don't know if it was because she was frozen, or because she remembered those bad memories, the blood on her face faded in an instant, showing a sickly pale.
Jackie pushed away the cloak that Cicada Yi wanted to put on her, shook her head firmly, and gritted her teeth: "Wait a little longer." β
The spring cold is steep, and no matter how good the body bones are, you will have to suffer from wind chill if you freeze for a while.
Cicada Yi finally understood what she wanted to do, and she was anxious: "Even if the girl wants to see His Highness through illness, she doesn't have to toss herself so much!" β
But no matter how Cicada Yi persuaded her, she had to wait for two quarters of an hour to dry herself and change into warm clothes.
The window was carefully closed, the room slowly warmed up again, Cicada Yi helped her to lie down on the couch, and her eyes were red with distress: "The slave maid is going to ask Your Highness!" β
Zhichi's face was really not good, he grabbed Cicada Yi's hand, and his voice was not hurried: "What is it now?" Wait, when the fever starts, you go and call someone. β
He turned his head to look at the plain bed tent - I hope it burns sooner.
Otherwise, it's too late, what if Ning Xun falls asleep and is too lazy to come over to see her?
Heaven fulfilled people's wishes, but the sky had just darkened, and she was already burning hot.
She took a nap and heard a cacophony of noises, followed by a hand on her forehead.
Slightly cool to the touch, very comfortable. So when she sensed that it was about to leave her forehead, she subconsciously reached out and grabbed it.
Ning Xun looked down at her burned red face, simply clasped her restless hand, pressed her forearm, and stretched out her wrist to the imperial doctor waiting aside, his voice revealed a little anxiety that he didn't even notice: "It's fine at noon, how can you suddenly have a fever?" β
The imperial doctor carefully checked the pulse and replied, "This ...... It's really just a symptom of wind and cold. As for why the fever started so quickly, it could only be because the cold was too heavy for a while. Fortunately," he pondered his words, "this girl is in good shape, and she will be fine with two doses of medicine." β
The cicada clothes on the side lowered their heads when the prince and his party came in, buried their heads lower when they heard this, and only stared at the ground with a shrunken look.
Ning Xun glanced at her, knew in his heart, and only asked the imperial doctor to go down and prescribe medicine.
He put his arm back into the quilt, took a wet handkerchief and put it on her forehead, although his movements were soft, there was a gloomy color between his eyebrows and eyes.
She's open-minded.
Shen Che saw her at this time, and the biggest possibility was for the list.
He wanted to hang her for a few days and isolate her from these things.
I didn't think she could do this.
She was dazed, and she didn't know how long it took before she felt someone pick her up, and she leaned on the man's arms, and it took a long time to open her eyes.
She looked up at him, and saw that he was holding the medicine bowl in one hand, which was clearly raised to her lips, and suddenly paused, put the medicine bowl down, and said in a low voice: "Awake?" β
She didn't react, so he picked up the spoon on the tray on the side, gently stirred the decoction, scooped a spoonful and fed it to her mouth: "Open your mouth." β
Although she was still drowsy, she also vaguely knew that she should take medicine, and swallowed it one by one very cooperatively.
The man took the trouble to feed her little by little, and at last stuffed her mouth with a preserves torn into small strips.
But this can't wash away the bitter taste of the medicine.
Lingchi frowned, and in order to make it easier for her to swallow, Ning Xun tore off a small piece of the candied fruit in his hand before feeding it to her mouth.
She bit the sweetness of his fingertips, but as if she wasn't enough, she suddenly stepped forward and took his frosted finger.
Ning Xun's hand around her waist suddenly tightened.
She bit his finger hard, and the force was not small, Xu found that his hand could not eat, and quickly relented, leaving only a deep tooth mark on his index finger.
It doesn't hurt, and it's even a little itchy for no reason. The itch flowed back to her heart with the pulse, Ning Xun frowned slightly, and simply stuffed the remaining half of the candied fruit in her hand directly into her mouth.
Only then did the pool settle down.
When she closed her eyes in a daze due to high fever, he asked her a little funny: "When you meet with illness, do you see which one really made you sick?" β
She had fallen asleep again, and naturally she couldn't hear him.
Because it was in her ear, his voice was low when he spoke to her, and when he finished saying this, he heard someone staggering behind the screen not far away.
It seemed to be too close to hear his words, and for a moment he didn't notice that he tripped over the base.
Ning Xun glanced over lightly, and the palace maid had already stood up immediately, looking at the shadow through the screen, with a respectful posture.
This palace maid has just come - the pond should not be too extravagant here, and it is enough for only one person to be a cicada on weekdays, but now that the pond is sick, the cicada clothes themselves will inevitably not be taken care of, and on the way he came, he asked people to pick two palace maids and temporarily come here to serve for a few days.
These are the two behind the screen.
Ning Xun leaned over, put down the person in her arms, tucked the quilt for her, and said in a normal volume: "As long as you send someone to tell Lone that you are sick, if you are really sick or false, Lone will naturally come to see you, why bother to make yourself suffer in vain." Is Lone really angry with you? It's just that these days are too busy, so I've only been drying you for two days. β
It was a few words that were very similar to a lover's whisper, but only coldness flashed in his eyes.
The sound is not deliberate, but it can be heard clearly behind the screen.
Shen Che's hand was inevitably stretched too long.
After waiting for a while, he called Huaihe forward again: "Go to the study and bring all the lonely books on the case." β
The eyes of the two met for a moment, Huaihe comprehended, and asked respectfully: "Your Highness wants to review government affairs here?" Then the slave brought the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone? β
Ning Xun glanced up at the empty bookcase in the pool room, and gave a brief "um".
The medicine he drank began to work, and he was sweating profusely and wetting his underwear.
Xu is now thinking of the Houhu Lake of the Guogong Mansion, and she actually dreamed of the last night of her last life.
It's been a few days since I dreamed of it.
Everything in the dream was extremely familiar, and the moment before the arrow broke through the air, she seemed to feel something, and she struggled violently in terror, desperately trying to escape, but it was still to no avail.
Everything is put very slowly, very slowly.
She watched as the arrow was about to pass through her chest again, when suddenly a powerful arm grabbed her waist and pulled her sideways.
The arrow grazed her shoulder.
He woke up suddenly, gasping for breath and tears in his eyes.
After recovering a little, he realized that he was lying on Ning Xun's side, with a hand on his waist.
She raised her eyes and met his heavy gaze: "What did you dream of to be afraid of this?" β
Ning Xun just lay down on her side, and was about to take a nap for a while, when he saw her struggling as if she was frightened, afraid that she would fall off the bed if she moved, so he reached out and grabbed her.
Her forehead was covered with cold sweat, Ning Xun sat up, and the palace people immediately sent a warm handkerchief, he reached out to take it, and slowly wiped her face.
She sweated, the fever had subsided, and the horror in her dream was left in her heart, which made her mind a lot clearer.
He half-propped himself up, pursed his lips, and said in a hoarse voice: "I dreamed of His Highness." β
Ning Xun's hand paused, and threw the soft handkerchief back into the copper basin, as if he was a little interested: "So, what are you afraid of?" β
Cicada Yi handed over the hot water, or he took it first and handed it to the lips of the pool.
She bowed her head straight and drank all the water with his hand, before she said, "I am afraid that His Highness will not be angry, and I am afraid that His Highness will regret leaving the title pool by his side that day." β
She deliberately bit the accent of the word "side", staying by her side instead of staying in the East Palace - as if she was secretly complaining about his avoidance.
Her fever had just subsided, her breath was not long, and she spoke slowly, intentionally or unintentionally, so that people cherished it first.
Ning Xun chuckled, and the lie turned around through her mouthpiece, and it seemed to be true.
Her reaction in the dream reminded him of the night of the last Yuan - at that time he only thought that she was cowardly, and he had just been frightened by himself, and he was frightened like that when he encountered a dark arrow.
Now, it seems that this is not the case.
There was no big deal with the title, and the palace people all retreated.
After drinking the second cup of water with Ning Xun's hand, he saw a stack of books on the bookcase on one side.
It was already late at night, presumably waiting for her to wake up, and he had seen the government affairs in her room.
He folded the things, and to avoid his suspicion, she glanced at them and then withdrew her gaze.
She realized that tonight was a great opportunityβif she was in the study, she would have to go to great lengths to lure him away. And tonight, as long as he sleeps here, she can go through it without noticing.
Ning Xun put down the cup she had drunk empty, and asked her casually, "Why are you so anxious to see Gu these days?" β
Ji Chi shook his head, raised his hand very slowly, and looked back at him according to his heart: "I don't know." Just want to see. If you don't see it, it's uneasy here. β
Her voice was still weak: "Your Highness was angry last time. β
Not to ask him, but to say yes.
She paused, and then continued: "Is Your Highness still angry now?" β
Ning Xun only raised his eyebrows and looked at her, without saying a word.
Akichi sighed inwardly.
He didn't reply to her, and he didn't have any special reaction, he didn't know where his itch was, how did she know where to scratch it?
So he could only say to himself: "Your Highness is still willing to come, then it will be regarded as a dissipation." β
