Li Can let go of the hand holding his nose, curled his lips in grievance, his eyes were filled with tears, and the ends of his eyes were reddish. He lowered his eyes and stared at the medicine in his hand without saying a word.
She didn't speak and wasn't convinced.
"Use it." Zhao Zhi spoke again.
Li Can gritted her teeth, picked up the soup and drank it for herself. However, she only ate less than half of the bowl before she covered her lips and felt like vomiting.
Zhao Ji brought the honey water and fed her a spoonful.
Li Can drank a bowl of honey water and used up all the decoction. Because she was angry, this was almost the fastest time she had used the decoction.
Zhao Ye fed her a milk ball lion candy.
"Can I go back?" she asked softly.
She wanted to spit out the candy, quarrel with Zhao Zhen, and then go home.
But after all, I couldn't bear to see the blush and tiredness on Zhao Zong's face.
Forget it, after all, Zhao Ji has taught her for many years, and there is no credit but hard work. Now that he is leaving, there is no need to make it so ugly. Let's all get together and part ways.
Zhao Xie leaned on the head of the bed, closed his eyes and rested his mind: "Wait until your body recovers before you go back."
"Okay." Li Can agreed simply.
She knew that whether Zhao Ye said the same thing or not, there would be no change in what Zhao Ye decided.
She didn't feel much discomfort, maybe it would be better in a day or two, and she could just bear with it.
These two illnesses, she was not as uncomfortable as before. She felt that her body was really getting better and better now.
Xu Jing is worthy of being the dean of the Taiyuan Hospital. It seems that he will continue to take the nourishing and conditioning prescriptions.
＊
After three days, both Li Can and Zhao Zhi were in good health.
When Li Can got up at noon that day, she didn't even bother to use her breakfast, so she directed Tang Gai and the others to pack her things. She was going home.
"Girl." Wuhuang ran over to send a message: "Your Highness is in the study. I asked the younger one to invite you over."
"Which of you talked too much for him?" Li Can was very dissatisfied.
She didn't want to tell Zhao Ye that she was leaving, and she didn't want to see him. She had planned to leave someone behind and just talk to Zhao Ye.
Who knew how to get it, so he asked Zhao Zong to get the news again.
"Young one, I don't know." Wuhuang waved his hands hurriedly, and tried his best to clarify: "It's not that young one."
Li Can glared at him and walked out.
Wuhuang followed him with a smile.
"His Royal Highness, are you looking for me?" Li Can opened the study door.
From that day on, she refused to call him "Brother Zeyu" again.
In order to take care of her more conveniently, Zhao Zhi insisted on asking her to sleep in the east dormitory, but she would cover herself with a quilt before going to bed.
As for waking up in Zhao Zhen's arms every day...that's what she did when she was asleep, so you can't blame her.
"Close the door." Zhao Zong was writing at his desk without looking up.
Li Can saw the commonly used rosewood ruler in his hand, and his heart skipped a beat.
Then she felt relieved again. She had not made any mistakes in the past few days. Zhao Zhi would not hit her palm for no reason.
So she closed the door and walked to the desk to stand.
For a long time, Zhao Zong changed the official documents in front of him one volume after another, but still had no intention of speaking.
"Your Highness, you came to me with any instructions?" Li Can frowned slightly, losing her patience.
"I once told you that the most important thing in life is, do you still remember what it is?" Zhao Zhi paused the purple hair in his hand, raised his eyes and glanced at her, and continued to annotate the official document.
"I know." Li Can turned his smart eyes, thought for a moment and said, "The most important thing in life is to live, cherish your body, and everything will be fine."
This is what Zhao Zhi told her when she was a child, when she was afraid of drinking bitter soup and cried, "It would be better to die of illness."
Although Zhao Ye didn't talk much at that time, he would still smile at her. He would always spend his spare time studying to accompany her and take care of her.
Zhao Ye paused for a moment and asked her: "Do you know where the mistake is?"
"Where did I go wrong?" Li Can raised his chin slightly, not only confused, but also dissatisfied.
How could she be wrong?
Zhao Ye slowly put down his pen and raised his eyes to look at her: "Knowing that his body couldn't withstand it, he still ran out on a rainy day and hid under a dangerous pavilion bridge. He even said shamelessly, 'I'll forget it if I bite you to death.'"
So, are you right?"
Li Can subconsciously hid his two little hands behind his back and whispered back: "My own body, I am willing to..."
"Say it again!" Zhao Zhen took the ruler and slapped it on the desk with a "snap" sound.
Li Can suddenly lost his voice.
"Hand." Zhao Lingling spoke.
Li Can took half a step back and looked at him with a look of disbelief: "I'm even old enough to have haircuts, and you still hit the palm of my hand?"
"Is it time to do the hairpin ceremony?" Zhao Zong asked.
"No matter what, I'm already fifteen, you can't hit me anymore..." Li Can's eyes were red and he took two steps back.
She held her hands tightly behind her back, and her dissatisfaction just now turned into grievance and fear, and she shed tears looking at Zhao Zong.
How could Zhao Zhen still punish her when she was so old? If people outside knew about it, they might not laugh at her!
"Come here." Zhao Zhi had no intention of sparing her at all.
Li Can froze in place and sobbed, refusing to come forward.
"Do you want me to ask someone to come in and hold you down for a beating?" Zhao Gong's eyes were cold.
Li Can's tears flowed faster, and he slowly moved forward, reluctantly stretched out his left hand and placed it on Zhao Zong's palm.
The next moment, Zhao Zhi's big hand held her small hand, and the ruler fell mercilessly on her delicate and white palm.
The sudden pain in the palm of her hand made Li Can cry out instantly, and big tears rolled down her bright white face without any suspense.
She huddled up in pain, but she just shrank her body, and for the first time she got slapped on the palm of her hand without crying and crawled into Zhao Ye's arms.
She was crying so hard that she couldn't breathe, and she was extremely angry. She was already fifteen, and Zhao Zhen still hit her on the palm!
She understood that Zhao Ye just didn't love her and didn't care about her at all!
When she got back, she asked her eldest aunt to give her a hairpin gift. From now on, she would never pay attention to Zhao Zong again!
Ten strokes of the palm, solid!
Zhao Ye let go of her.
Li Can held his red and swollen left hand with his right hand. Without asking Zhao Zong to remind him, he stood up straight in front of him.
"I know I was wrong." She just wanted to leave quickly. After so many years, she knew exactly what she should say at this time: "I shouldn't not cherish my body and run out in the rain in the middle of the night. I shouldn't say 'I'll bite you to death'.
Even if it's unlucky, I shouldn't hide in a dangerous place like the Pavilion Bridge. I won't do it anymore..."
As she spoke, she wiped away her tears.
Zhao Zhen said nothing, opened the drawer and took Sanhuang ointment to give to her.
"I don't need it, I have it myself." Li Can said to him, "I'm going back."
Now, Zhao Zong won't stop her anymore, right?
Zhao Ye stood up without saying a word, pulled her over, opened the lid of the small medicine jar, and applied the green plaster to her red and swollen palms.
Li Can stared at the palm of his hand and resisted looking at him. Don't think that she would be grateful to him if he gave her the medicine!
She hates him forever!
She will never come to this place again.
"Go." Zhao Zhi let go of her.
Li Can quickly left the study without saying a word.
After using Sanhuang Cream, the redness and swelling will subside in an hour or two. According to her habit, she will wait until the redness and swelling subside before going home, because she is afraid that the elders in the family will worry.
But today, she couldn't wait any longer. The worst she could do was be more careful and hide her red and swollen hands in her sleeves so that no one would notice.
She almost left the study and got into her carriage.
When she saw the soft pillow in the carriage that Xia Jie Yao had given her earlier and said it was embroidered by her own hands, she remembered that she had been busy quarreling with Zhao Ji these past few days and had actually forgotten about Xia Jie Yao falling into the water.
"How's Sister Ah Yao?" She leaned against the carriage window and opened the curtain and asked.
"Miss Xia went into the water that day. She was frightened and caught the wind and cold. She is still ill now." Tang Cake replied at the window.
"Do you know how she fell into the water?" Li Can asked curiously.
I was walking in a hurry that day, and I seemed to hear the messenger maid saying that Xia Jieyao was pushed into the lotus pond.
"It was said that someone pushed her," Tang Cake said, "but she never saw clearly what the person who did it looked like.
The maids said that the man was running very fast, as if he had some kung fu on him, and he could only tell that he was a woman, but not the other parts."
"Is Sister Ah Yao okay?" Li Can asked again.
Although she didn't want to be so close to Xia Jieyao because of Zhao Zong, she didn't expect anything to happen to Xia Jieyao. She still hoped that they would be fine.
"He said that everything is fine after being diagnosed by the imperial doctor. He just needs to be recuperated for a few days," Tang Cake replied.
"Then, did you prepare a gift for me and send it over?" Li Can remembered and asked.
"Girl, don't worry." Tanggao said with a smile: "A few days ago, the girl was ill. His Highness probably didn't want the girl to worry, so he ordered someone to prepare a gift for the girl and sent it over with the people from the East Palace."
"Oh." When Li Can heard this, he let go of the curtain without interest.
Zhao Jie treated Xia Jie Yao really well. He even gave double gifts in her name, which shows his affection!
Returning to the Marquis of Jing'an, Li Can did not go to Xuanhe Courtyard to see his grandmother, but went straight to the accountant's office.
The boy at the door told her that the first month of the new year was almost over, and her aunt Lin was currently doing the accounting for the first month of the year.
"Auntie." She pushed open the door of the accounting room.
"My heart is back." Mrs. Lin was very happy when she saw her. She put down her pen and stood up to greet her: "Why are you here? Didn't you go see your grandmother?"
"Auntie, I'm going to see my grandmother later." Li Can grabbed her hand, raised his clear eyes and looked at her: "I have something to discuss with you."
"What's the matter?" Ms. Lin led her to the desk and said, "Sit here and I'll ask them to give you a cup of milk. Did you catch a cold a few days ago? Are you all better?"
Mrs. Lin said while looking at her carefully.
"Everything is fine, I don't need to drink milk." Li Can pulled her: "Auntie, I will be a hairdresser this year, you won't forget it, right?"
"Silly boy, this is a big deal. How could aunty forget? I'm already preparing things." Mrs. Lin laughed, pinched her tender little face, and sighed: "Time flies so fast.
, eldest aunt still remembers that when you were just a little bit old, you were afraid of falling if you were held in her arms.
But who knew that you would grow up in a blink of an eye and become an adult in the blink of an eye? You are already so old, how can you think that my eldest aunt is not still young?"
"My eldest aunt is not old!" Li Can hugged her arm and said coquettishly: "Auntie, I want to get a hair extensions gift as soon as possible. You can find someone to show me the time. It is best to get a hair extensions gift for me in the next few days.
,OK?"
After doing the hairpin ceremony, she no longer has to be disciplined by Zhao Gao. Let alone Zhao Gao, even His Majesty can no longer ask Zhao Gao to discipline her.
After all, once the haircut ceremony is done, it means that she has grown up and no longer needs to be taught.
"This matter can't be solved soon." Ms. Lin laughed and smoothed the broken hair on her forehead: "Your haircut ceremony was already arranged by His Royal Highness at the beginning of the year. Didn't you know?"
