Chapter 181

After Ruan Yuyi rinsed her mouth, she leaned on the bed, frowning to bear the discomfort in her body.

Mu Xiang looked worried, and said softly, "Your Majesty, this servant has already ordered someone to make a new medicine. Doctor Ning said that you can put some sugar in it. You can drink it later, so that the disease will heal quickly."

She shook her head slightly, her black hair falling behind her.

The reason is this, she will not fail to understand.But she really couldn't drink it any longer, and when she smelled the medicine, her stomach churns, even if she drank it reluctantly, it was like it was stuck in her throat, and it came back up immediately.

Mu Xiang had no other choice, so she decocted the medicine first, and said otherwise if she didn't accept it.

Cen Li, who was guarding the outer room, saw the figure in black and bowed to salute, but he was not surprised at all.

He was about to step up to the inner room, but suddenly remembered something, and took off his cloak again.Wen Zhi opened up the flower-spread curtain, and took the cold cloak with snowdrops on the collar.

When he came in, Ruan Yuyi was feigning sleep with her eyes closed.The thin sweat on her forehead has been wiped off, but there are still traces of being wet on her hair. Half of her face is sunken in the soft pillow, her black hair and snow skin are especially eye-catching.

His heart tightened slightly.

He has never forgotten her sins, nor her useless kindness that he hates, now seeing her not feeling well, he secretly scoffed at the consequences of karma, but he did not feel any joy in his heart.

She looks really fragile at the moment, and she seems to have a sense of inseparability.A sense of unease welled up in his heart, the appearance of the dead lady in the dream gradually overlapped with the person in front of him.

He had seen the young lady's determination to treat the eldest son of the Cheng family.

For him, she's afraid it's even more so.

"I have seen Your Majesty." Mu Xiang's voice of saluting brought him back to his thoughts.

He ignored it, walked straight to her couch, sat on the edge of the bed, and grabbed one of her wrists, which was as slender as white porcelain, as if he would shatter in his hands with a little force.

She almost fell asleep drowsily, but was awakened by the pain on her wrist, and frowned and snorted.Seeing the person in front of her, she struggled to stand up and salute.

Jiang Huaiyang held her down and didn't let her get up. She casually glanced at the wrist that was pinched just now, and realized how much force she had just exerted.

She clutched the brocade mattress beside her, and tried her best to bend the corners of her lips, "Your Majesty, don't stay too long, I'm afraid I'll give you a sickness."

His eyes darkened slightly, "I just came, and Lingling hurried to chase me away?" When he came, the outside of the palace was as peaceful as usual, and only after entering her residence could one know what happened inside.

If Cen Li hadn't come to report, would she have kept it a secret?

"I will feed you the medicine myself," he told the palace servants to bring the medicine in a deep voice.

The spoon collided with the edge of the bowl, making a sound like gold and jade, but the medicinal juice inside was brown, shaking slightly, exuding a bitter and strong herbal smell.

Her face turned pale, and she tried to escape, "Your Majesty, the concubine will use it later."

He pushed back all the palace people, took a mouthful of the soup, grabbed her chin, and leaned over her.

When she was ill, her eyes were always full of water, and now she couldn't hold back her eyes anymore, she slid hotly from her cheeks and fell into the lips of the two of them.

The bitter taste of the medicine lingered between her lips and teeth, and she forgot her resistance to the medicine for a moment, and he couldn't help swallowing it as soon as he fiddled with it.

The warm concoction slipped through the throat and fell into the abdomen.She leaned against his shoulder, pushed him away, opened her lips to breathe slowly, the redness on the tips of her ears added some blood to her.

His hoarse voice was next to her ear, "How?" A candied fruit was handed to her lips.

She hesitated for a moment, opened her mouth to suck it, and she didn't know if it was intentional, but her wet lips touched his fingertips, causing him to breathe heavily.She bent her eyes and smiled, "Thank you Your Majesty."

The sweet and sour taste of the candied fruit dilutes the taste of the medicine, and it is rare that the medicine does not go back to the throat.She paused, then asked again, "It seems that sugar has been added to this bowl of soup?"

He hummed and tasted it too.He held the bowl in one hand and handed it to her.

She was stunned, but she didn't expect to reach out to pick it up.

"Why, do you still want me to continue feeding?" He thought for a moment, and felt that it was not impossible.

It was impossible for her to respond, her ears were so red that she was about to bleed, she held the porcelain bowl with both hands, trying to take the soup.But he didn't let go, so she had to look up at him.

Jiang Huaiyang motioned for her to take the spoon, "I'm afraid that if you spill it, it will cause trouble for the palace people." He said casually.

She was a little unconvinced, and she became weak like that.

The little lady picked up the spoon, her fingertips were a little more moist than the white of the porcelain bowl, like a high-quality suet jade, just ordinary movements were already extremely pleasing to the eye.

She was terrified of throwing up before, throwing up 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 medicine to it, but it made it easier for her to swallow it.In addition, sugar was added when decocting the medicine, so it can be used a little bit now.

He looked at her cautious appearance, but felt a little panicked in his heart.

——In her eyes, she didn't know what kind of jackal and leopard she saw him as, so she would drink medicine, and she would subconsciously look at him.

Seeing that the soup and medicine had run out, he casually put the porcelain bowl on the table beside him.He took out a small palm-sized box from his sleeve, picked up a round thing, pressed it against her lips, and pushed it in.

She didn't dare to enter it, but bit her back teeth, "What is this?" She suppressed her voice so that her voice would not sound so vague.

He could tell at a glance that she hadn't taken it, chuckled, and uttered two words, "poison."

Ruan Yuyi's expression froze for a moment, and then she broke into a smile.She whispered, "I believe Your Majesty will not." As she said this, her trembling fingertips revealed her true state of mind.

How did she know he wouldn't.It's not like he didn't think about it before.

He remained silent and his eyes fell on her pretty face.Compared with the expression on her brother's face in Chang'an Palace, she is smiling very forcedly now.

She hesitated for a while, and finally took the thing in her mouth.As soon as it touches the side of the tongue, the sweetness spreads all at once.

She felt relieved suddenly, leaned back, and murmured, "It's sugar."

He picked up a strand of her hair and repeated, "It's caramel." It was the same kind of candy that the concubine gave him when he was young.Although there are endless types of candy nowadays, when he was young, this candy was a rare thing.

The candy rolled in her mouth, and while feeling the sweetness, she tentatively said, "Your Majesty, my concubine has been ill recently, and I'm afraid I won't be able to manage the affairs of the harem perfectly—can you send someone to assist my concubine?"

She moved a little to his side, and pressed her warm body against his arm.

He raised his brows slightly, but he never thought that he would give power to her before her eyes, and she would still think about giving it away, and she was not afraid that she would not be able to get it back after it was done.

But her current body really couldn't bear those complicated matters.

He nodded in agreement, and conveniently tucked up the brocade quilt for her.
