Natu was talking to the doctors accompanying him from the Western Regions.
Seeing him coming back, Natu raised her emerald eyes.
"You went out again?"
There was a faint smile on Ming Qi's cold white face.
"It's going to rain soon. I went to pick some lotus seeds for you."
After he finished speaking, he took out a pack of freshly picked lotus seeds from his sleeve.
This is Natu's favorite thing to eat in summer.
It is said that lotus seeds are not bitter if they are unintentional. She prefers those who endure hardships.
Natu's eyes lit up, and she quickly took the lotus seeds from Mingqi's hand, picked one up and put it in her mouth.
The doctor just stretched out his hand and wanted to follow the routine rules to check whether there was poison for the eldest princess.
Unexpectedly, Natu's trust in Ming Qi has reached the point of blindness.
As long as he handed over something, she would not doubt it at all.
But after only eating one, Natu frowned in tears.
"Why is it so bitter? It tastes different from what I have eaten before."
Ming Qi smiled: "The last time Your Highness ate it was in midsummer last year."
"What's more, the water and soil are different. Maybe the lotus seeds from Daqi are a bit bitter."
Natu pouted and ate several more pills.
Ming Qi looked at the doctor: "Doctor Luo, how are the toxins in Her Royal Highness's body?"
The doctor immediately stood up and cupped his hands towards Ming Qi.
"The cold poison is accumulating in the princess's body. This affectionate poison will gradually damage her lungs. It seems that we need to find a good medicine for symptomatic treatment as soon as possible. Otherwise, if things go on like this, Her Royal Highness's body will..."
When the doctor said this, he sighed heavily.
If he wants to compete for the throne of emperor, how can the king of the Western Regions pass the throne to Natu without a healthy body?
But Natu smiled a little carelessly after hearing this.
"Doctor Luo, stop talking nonsense. I feel fine myself. I can live for ten or twenty years. It won't be a problem to defeat my brother Zhao Man Dou."
"If I can't survive twenty years later, there will be no regrets. I will live a very comfortable and satisfying life in this life."
Na Tu glanced at Ming Qi: "Ming Qi, are you right?"
Ming Qi's face looked slightly cold: "Princess, be careful and say less."
When it comes to life and death, Ming Qi always pays special attention to it.
Natu curled her lips.
Doctor Luo resigned.
Natu sat by the window, hugging her knees and looking at the rainy sky outside the window.
"In half a month, we have to go back to the Western Regions. Suddenly I feel a little reluctant to leave here. Sister Yaoguang is so cute."
Suddenly, her hair hanging on her shoulders was lifted up by someone.
Natu looked sideways and saw that Ming Qi was standing behind her, holding up her hair.
It was rare for him to take the initiative to serve.
Natu was very satisfied, narrowed her eyes and smiled brightly, then looked out the window.
"Ming Qi, are you reluctant to leave this place?"
she asked.
Ming Qi's voice was calm: "It's the same wherever you are in a humble position."
Natu chuckled: "What if there is no me?"
Ming Qi didn't answer.
After a while, he said: "I believe that no matter where the princess is, everything can be arranged properly."
Natu was startled, then she looked back: "I won't be used to not having you by my side."
On Ming Qi's cold white face, there was a pair of deep and dark eyes.
He looked at Natu for a long time, until raindrops flew in and hit their hair.
Ming Qi sighed inaudibly.
"Your Highness, it's raining, please close the windows."
He stretched out his hand to close the window, but Natu rushed forward and hugged Ming Qi's waist.
Her voice was muffled, like the rainy day outside.
"Ming Qi, why do you always look so worried? What are you thinking about? Can you tell me?"
