He believed that the guards of Prince Zhan's palace couldn't insert a needle, but when they met masters like Si Yiluo and Xiang Yun, they could only become decorations. At the same time, she realized Si Yiluo's strength.
"Master Si asked me to come to visit His Highness King Zhan. I wonder how His Highness is doing?"
Yinyue's thoughts returned to half an hour ago.
"Your Highness has already fallen asleep after drinking the medicine. He will recover after a few days of rest."
Yinyue is Zhou Zhan's bodyguard, so what he says is naturally credible, but without seeing His Highness King Zhan in person, he has no way of going back to deliver the mission.
"Since His Highness has rested, I won't disturb you. I wonder if I could meet with the Princess and ask her to personally inform His Highness of his condition?"
His request is not excessive, but...Yin Yue wonders: "The princess has also taken a break."
Xiang Yun hugged his fists and disappeared into the darkness.
Yinyue sighed. He used to keep vigil for his prince, but now he can only be sent to the study to look after the house...
Main courtyard.
Shen Moran guarded the medicine stove dutifully, the casserole was bubbling and bubbling, and the strong smell of Chinese medicine made the air in the entire yard bitter.
She had barely slept a wink since last night. She slept for two hours after dawn and then got up again to look after Zhou Zhan.
The medicine she takes twice a day is prepared by her own hands.
In the room, the person lying on the bed was so weak that she couldn't even raise her hands. Zhou Zhan wanted to wave her to rest, but when he opened his mouth, he realized that his voice was hoarse. Even he couldn't hear what he was saying, let alone sit with his head propped up. The person who was cooking medicine in the yard didn't even notice the movement behind him.
The sequelae of every time he pretends to be sick is that he will really be sick for a few days. During these days, apart from being conscious, his body will be too weak to get out of bed.
Shen Moran was doubtful at the beginning, but now he is convinced that he is really sick, but it may be a hidden disease that will flare up from time to time.
After all, he was her husband, and she prepared and administered the medicine herself without giving him any chance to cheat.
Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the whole family is spending it in a tense atmosphere. She is busy sending festive gifts to each house, and reporting to her parents' family that they are safe. After a hard day's work, it is already late at night, but she is not sleepy yet.
It’s true that she wanted to be a widow, but she didn’t want to be a widow now. At least she wanted him to live until he ascended the throne!
Thinking of this, she fanned harder. After the medicine was cooked, she took it out, let it cool a little, put it in and put it next to the bed.
Jiu'er carefully helped Zhou Zhan up, Bi Tao put the quilt behind him, Shen Moran was holding the medicine, Zhou Zhan's face wrinkled, he had soaked it in the medicine jar, but it didn't mean that he liked taking medicine.
The smell of the medicine made him want to vomit.
Shen Moran was afraid that the medicine would burn him, so he stirred it with a spoon, picked up a spoonful, put it to his mouth and blew on it.
"Your Highness, take medicine."
Her tone was so gentle that it made her water drop.
Zhou Zhan wanted to say that he didn't need to take medicine for his illness and that he would be cured in a few days... But seeing the tired look on his little wife's face and the mist in her eyes, he obediently opened his mouth and swallowed the bitter medicinal soup.
Shen Moran took another spoonful. He stared at the soup in the bowl. He drank it spoonful by spoonful. Even if he wasn't sick, he had to torment himself to get sick. In the past two days, there was no taste at all after eating. Medicinal smell.
If this continues, the sense of taste will lose its function.
"Your Highness, do you think it's bitter?" Shen Moran wiped the drops of medicine on his lips with a handkerchief, "Good medicine is bitter, Your Highness, please bear with it for now, I have prepared candied fruit."
Zhou Zhan's eyes were successfully attracted, and the corners of Shen Moran's lips curled up. If he was pretending to be sick, he would be reaping the consequences.
If it was a real illness, she would take care of him without sleeping or taking off her clothes, and she didn't feel sorry for him.
After finally drinking the medicine, Shen Moran quickly stuffed two candied dates into his mouth.
"Your Highness, are you still suffering?"
The smell of medicine in his mouth was barely suppressed, and Zhou Zhan felt that his throat could make some sound. He took her hand and said thank you for your hard work.
Shen Moran smiled thoughtfully and brought the water to his mouth.
"I don't have to work hard, these are what I should do. I hope that Your Highness will live a long life..."
"Your Highness, rinse your mouth and lie down."
She used a handkerchief to cleanse his face, and when she stood up, Zhou Zhan held her sleeve.
"Princess, please take a rest. I am not in the way anymore. There are servants here..."
Shen Moran said softly: "I have to take care of Your Highness personally so that I can feel at ease. Your Highness, please sleep peacefully. I will come back after I wash up."
She took the medicine bowl out of the room and put the long tassel on her ear.
"Master Si sent someone here to see you, but Yin Yue refused."
It's not a big deal, otherwise, she would have come over in person.
"knew."
Shen Moran took a bath and put on her nightgown. Zhou Zhan had already fallen asleep. She lay down on the outside and fell asleep soon after. Before going to bed, she was still thinking that Si Yiluo might want to ask Zhou Zhan. illness.
She might have tricked herself to death. If Zhou Zhan was a trick, she would not only trick herself, but also her friends.
Half asleep and half awake, she felt a hand groping on her body. In her dream, she dreamed about her previous life. Every day she slept in the same bed with Zhou Yu was a nightmare.
There was a crisp sound, Zhou Zhan covered his face, and she woke up from her dream.
Hongying, who was keeping watch at night, opened the door and came in, lighting the lamp.
Shen Moran saw the people around him clearly and breathed a sigh of relief. At the same time, she felt her heart rise again. She touched half of his red face and said distressedly: "Does it hurt? Hongying, go get some ice cubes and apply it on His Highness!" "
Zhou Zhan didn't miss the pain in her eyes. He calmed down and asked, "Did you have a nightmare?"
Shen Moran hugged his knees and buried his face in his arms.
She couldn't tell him about her nightmare, nor could she let him know about it. The suffocation in the dream made it impossible for her to hide herself well.
The little girl looked pitiful. Zhou Zhan sighed, held her in his arms, and comforted her: "It's okay. It's all over. Don't be afraid."
He thought of when he was a child, when he was alone in the palace and felt lonely and helpless, he would sit like this to protect himself all night.
She has been too tired these two days.
Zhou Zhan felt guilty, but he couldn't speak. His final bottom line was to save his life. He knew how much sincerity and how much mutual use there was between him and her, and he didn't dare to trust anyone easily.
But husband and wife should support each other.
His voice was reassuring. Shen Moran calmed down for a long time and asked: "If one day, sacrificing me will bring you greater benefits, will you choose to give up on me?"
Or burn a bridge, like Zhou Yu, throw it away after use. When you have no use value, he will feel sick even taking a second look at you!
Zhou Zhan thought about her question seriously. The two of them had a tacit understanding. She was of noble birth, well-controlled in advance and retreat, well-informed and intelligent. She put him first in everything, ran the palace, disciplined the servants, and could not fault anything.
Occasionally, she can be a bit naughty, but she is also pretty and cute.
It can be said that she is a perfect life partner. It is not an exaggeration to say that even if she is asked to be the queen of the world, she can still bear it.
But men never know what women want to hear.
He said honestly: "In the entire Zhou Dynasty, there are only a handful of women as tall and intelligent as the princess. I am lucky to be able to marry you."
This means that no one can bring greater benefits than her.
"This king is not someone who burns bridges when crossing rivers. Princess, just keep her peace of mind."
The excitement that had just risen in Shen Moran's heart was immediately extinguished. She smiled politely, took the ice pack brought by Hongying and applied it to his face.
"Your Highness's skin is too tender, and my body will swell with the slightest touch. Your Highness will endure it."
