stern wife

Chapter 84
Maybe it's because the imperial doctors used different medicines than others, Pei Xingshan didn't think too much about it, and sent someone to feed Pei Xiaoran the medicine.

But he didn't know that Pei Xiaoran was actually poisoned by the poison he gave Pei Runxia. The prescription for detoxification and the prescription for treating wind and cold are naturally different, and the cooking time is naturally different.

As soon as the female officer entered the door, Pei Xiaoran immediately put away all expressions, half-closed her round eyes, and returned to her sick and weak appearance.

Seeing the female officer holding the medicine bowl and holding the porcelain spoon to feed her personally, Pei Xiaoran turned his little head to the side, and said in a weak voice:

"I don't want it, I want Daddy to feed me."

The female officer was startled, and subconsciously looked at Pei Xingshan.

This request is within common sense. Children are the most vulnerable and dependent on their relatives when they are sick. It is not too much to ask for their own father to feed the medicine in person.

As long as parents who love their children will generally agree.

Hearing this, Pei Xingshan was furious, he felt uncomfortable all over because of the thorns in the words just now, and wanted him to feed the medicine himself in the blink of an eye?It's just a dream!
What's more, he has only heard of children feeding medicine to their parents, but he has never heard of a father who wants to feed his daughter!

Seeing that Pei Xingshan was just sitting there motionless with an ugly expression on his face, the female officer thought he was still angry because the doctor in the mansion didn't take good care of his daughter, so she softly comforted her:
"Your Majesty, don't worry too much. The Imperial Physician has said that Miss Pei will be cured. Moreover, His Majesty has repeatedly instructed the servant to take care of Miss Pei. There must be no mistakes. The servant will do his best. When the medicine is used up according to the doctor's orders, I will definitely return you a lively girl."

Of course, Pei Xingshan wasn't angry at some unwarranted doctor in the mansion who didn't take good care of his daughter, but the female officer's words reminded him: Pei Xiaoran is now a favorite!
Not to mention her meritorious service in rescuing Jia, she also helped the Holy Majesty solve the problem that King Li had faced. She did such a thing at such a young age, how could the Holy Majesty not like it?
And what the Holy Majesty said to him when he left was also very meaningful...

Pei Xingshan stood up abruptly, walked to the bed, and stretched out his hand to the female officer.

The female officer smiled, and carefully handed him the medicine bowl in her hand, while she stood up and went to the bedside to help Pei Xiaoran get up.

Pei Xingshan took the medicine bowl in one hand, not caring at all whether the medicine juice that could save his daughter's life would spill out, picked up the porcelain spoon and stirred it randomly in the bowl, didn't care whether it was hot or not, raised his hand Just wanted to stuff Pei Xiaoran's mouth.

Pei Xiaoran saw that his actions were rude, and he was afraid that he would be stabbed to death with a spoon before he drank the medicine, so he leaned back on the soft pillow to dodge the spoon indistinctly, then sighed, and said:
"How can my daughter, He De, ask my father to serve her to drink medicine? It's better for my daughter to come by herself."

Is this playing with him?Said to let him feed it with his own hands and then refused to let him feed it?

However, due to the presence of the female officer, Pei Xingshan couldn't easily have a seizure, so he could only give her the medicine bowl according to her wishes.

Pei Xiaoran gently stirred the concoction in the bowl, looked up at him expectantly, and said with a smile:
"Daddy, tell me a story, I want to hear a story."

Pei Xingshan smiled and said: "Daddy doesn't know how to tell stories."

Pei Xiaoran pouted, with tears in his eyes, and said coquettishly:
"If Daddy doesn't tell me, I won't take the medicine."

Like to drink or not!

Of course, Pei Xingshan could only growl in his heart. With a stiff face, he tried to think about it, and then slowly said:

"Once upon a time there was a mountain, and there was a temple on the mountain..."

Pei Xiaoran laughed out loud with a 'poof', and said:
"Daddy, I heard this story when I was three years old, tell me something else."

Pei Xingshan has never coaxed a child before, how could he talk about anything else?Hearing this, a bit of impatience appeared on his face, but he could only coax patiently:

"Daddy said it. Daddy really doesn't know how to do it. Let the palace lady tell you."

Seeing that his patience was about to reach its limit, Pei Xiaoran understood the principle of accepting as soon as he sees a deal, so he nodded sensibly, and said:

"OK then."

The medicine in his hand had been stirred so that it wasn't so hot, Pei Xiaoran picked up the bowl, raised his head and drank it all in one gulp, then put the bowl back on the tray, stuffed a piece of candied fruit into his mouth, and said vaguely:
"Xiaoran will obediently take the medicine and be obedient. Dad, go and rest for a while, don't worry about Xiaoran."

Fearing that she would come up with something to tease him, Pei Xingshan immediately stood up and said to the female officer:
"Xiaoran, please leave it to you."

The female officer hurriedly said: "My lord, you don't have to be polite."

Before she finished speaking, Pei Xingshan turned around and strode towards the outer hall.

The Holy Majesty asked him to take good care of his daughter, so before Pei Xiaoran recovered, Pei Xingshan naturally couldn't leave the palace without authorization, so he could only spend time alone in the outer palace bored.

And Emperor Chixuan, who returned to the main hall, was also thinking about him.

With the fact that Pei Wenchang said "kill the king" and Pei Xingshan deceived the emperor before, and now that Pei Xiaoran was poisoned, it is particularly thought-provoking.

When Pei Xiaoran was born, it was prophesied that she would have a great life, but she happened to be a delicate girl, so no one took those prophecies to heart.

But after the self-help drive incident, everything has changed.

Pei Xiaoran showed her amazing martial arts talent in front of everyone, so those prophecies immediately became true and reliable.

If Pei Xingshan has rebellious intentions, and the daughter he doesn't like is very likely to become a loyal general of Suzaku, then...will he let this daughter continue to grow up safely, and eventually become a stumbling block for him?

of course not.

And Pei Xiaoran, as the daughter of the Duke of Pei Xingshan, who would dare to do such harm?
Even if someone really wanted to get rid of her after eating the bear's heart, they wouldn't inflict such a non-lethal poison!Otherwise, what's the point of poisoning it?

So the person who really poisoned Pei Xiaoran was probably her own father - Pei Xingshan.

Tiger poison doesn't eat its offspring, so Pei Xingshan didn't poison Pei Xiaoran to kill him, but just wanted her to stop practicing martial arts and lose the chance to go to the battlefield in the future.

The old imperial doctor said that if the poison is not understood, it will leave serious sequelae.

And without Pei Xiaoran's 'stumbling block', Pei Xingshan's road to rebellion would naturally become smoother...

Of course, these are just hypotheses, and Emperor Chixuan didn't want to doubt his highly dependent minister.

But why didn't Pei Xiaoran get poisoned sooner or later, and why did he get poisoned only after he showed his extraordinary skills?
So, you can't blame him for thinking too much.
