Chapter 182 Horse racing, the reward is His Highness's kiss
Chu Xingchen blinked before realizing what he meant, "Xu Dandan, your skin is itchy again. What nonsense are you talking about? They are in very good health!"
"Really?" Xu Dandan was still doubtful, and the next second she wanted to know how Chu Xingchen knew whether they were in good health, but looking at Chu Xingchen's eyes, he could only hold back his doubts and gossip.
"Really, so stop talking nonsense, otherwise I don't know what the spread will be like."
When Chu Xingchen came out of Jinhua Palace, she saw Ling Zhou who was blocking her.
"Your Highness, you don't really like girls, do you? Xu Dandan...did she seduce you and do weird things to you?" Ling Zhou couldn't hide his words and asked directly.
Chu Xingchen: "..."
Xu Dandan suspected that they were not good enough. They suspected that Xu Dandan was seducing her. This was all a mess.
"You're talking nonsense again." After Chu Xingchen finished speaking, she saw Xiao Wang. She paused and added, "Don't think about it all day long."
This was said to Lingzhou, and also to herself.
After adjusting these days, she could face Xiao Wang as usual, but because of what Xu Dandan said, she almost felt uncomfortable again. Fortunately, she controlled it and greeted Xiao Wang with a smile as usual.
Xiao Wang watched the changes in Chu Xingchen day by day, a hint of complexity flashed in his eyes, and he clenched his palms, wanting to say something, but he didn't know how to say it.
Ling Zhou always felt that there was something between the two of them, which made him feel excluded.
"Your Highness, let's go horseback riding together. Little Honghua misses you so much. I made an appointment with Brother Xiao Wang to have a competition before. You can help us see. If we win, can you give us a reward?"
"Why do I give out rewards in your competition?"
"This is the fun." This is the motivation.
"What reward do you want? What do you like about me?" Chu Xingchen looked at Ling Zhou warily.
Ling Zhou touched his nose and said, "Your Highness, what you said is right..."
If the reward is a kiss from His Highness, and she kisses the winner, he will definitely try his best to win, but obviously this cannot be used as a bet.
"I just said it casually. I didn't want you to spend any money. If I win, I'll treat you to a big dinner. How about eating out?"
Ling Zhou swallowed the reward he wanted most and changed it to have a meal with Chu Xingchen. He learned the term "big meal" from Chu Xingchen.
Chu Xingchen gave him a strange look, "That's it?"
She glanced at Xiao Wang and nodded indifferently, "Okay."
I thought I wanted some kind of reward, but a reward like treating her to a meal was as unattractive as if there was no reward.
Lingzhou was just naive and thought Xiao Wang would try his best to compete with him.
She asked, "How do you plan to compete? This is the end point, and the person who gets the flag wins?"
"OK."
After Chu Xingchen planted the flag, he stood up and looked at Ling Zhou and Xiao Wang who were already prepared, "Okay."
Chu Xingchen stood aside, thinking it was just a simple game, but when the game started, he realized it was not the case.
From the beginning of the run, the race was extremely fierce. Xiao Wang didn't say much from beginning to end, but he was extremely serious when he started the race.
His horse was not as fast as Lingzhou's gale, but he chased after him with all his strength. When he finally bent down to pick up the flag, he was obviously one step behind, but he still managed to catch up.
Sweat flowed down his face, Xiao Wang panted slightly, and raised the flag made by Chu Xingchen with a handkerchief tied to a wooden stick, "I won."
Under the setting sun, he smiled, his face full of joy, as if he had obtained some treasure.
"Why don't you go out for a meal? Why are you working so hard? It was so dangerous just now. You almost fell off the horse, do you know? Did you think you were joking when you were stepped on by a horse?"
Lingzhou didn't even know that Xiao Wang was such a crazy person.
Lingzhou expressed Chu Xingchen's feelings, and Chu Xingchen was confused. It was just a meal with her. This reward had no appeal to him at all. Why did he work so hard?
Xiao Wang took off Chu Xingchen's handkerchief, put it away calmly, and said, "Isn't it a competition? Shouldn't the competition be serious?"
How could he have a meal with His Highness without fighting? How could he be alone with His Highness without fighting?
Chu Xingchen understood. It turned out that he wanted to win.
Yes, everyone has the desire to win or lose. It doesn't matter whether you are rewarded or not, but winning is important.
Xiao Wang got off his horse and walked to Chu Xingchen, "Your Highness, I won, you..."
Just as he was about to make an appointment, Late Winter came over in a hurry and said, "Your Highness, His Majesty's condition has worsened."
"What?" Chu Xingchen's expression changed drastically and he walked over quickly, "What's going on? Weren't you okay yesterday?"
The Queen's health has been off and on for the past two years. Fortunately, the imperial doctor is taking good care of her. However, she started to feel a little unwell in the past few days. She just came out to visit the Queen.
"I don't know the specific maid, but the Queen sent a message to come here to find you."
"Go quickly."
Ling Zhou and Xiao Wang followed behind. They couldn't care less about the game at this moment.
The Queen is indeed seriously ill. She only had a cough before, but now she also has a fever.
The imperial doctor had already used medicine, but it didn't have much effect.
Chu Xingchen looked at the queen who had fallen asleep and had a sallow complexion and pursed her lips.
The book does not specifically mention what kind of illness the Queen suffered from, only that she was seriously ill, but calculating the time, it seems that she left around this time.
After the Queen left, the original owner's last source of support was gone, which is why he ended up like that.
Chu Xingchen originally thought that she would not be as angry with the Queen as the original owner, and would share some of the pressure so that she would not be so tired. He thought that he could change the Queen's serious illness, but now it seems that some things can be changed, but some things still cannot.
She doesn't want the queen to die.
The old doctor was invited by Chu Xingchen, but the old doctor said there was nothing he could do. Chu Xingchen understood what he said. The queen originally had chronic diseases in her respiratory system, but this time she developed the disease due to long-term accumulation.
The symptoms look and sound very similar to pneumonia, but the specific cause is not yet clear.
Chu Xingchen guarded the queen for a while, and finally returned to Jinhua Palace.
At this time, I felt more and more good about penicillin, which can also cure pneumonia.
Chu Xingchen didn't sleep all night. When he set out to see the Queen the next day, he met Xiao Wang at the door.
"Your Highness, I have contacted the owner of the Miracle Medical Valley."
"Really? Can you ask him to come into the palace to help?" Although the Valley of Miracle Doctors is also weird, and I have met a Wu Niang before, they have a good reputation, and their medical skills are indeed top-notch. Their overall reputation is not bad, and they also have medical ethics.
"Yes." Xiao Wang said simply.
"Great, when did you get in touch?"
Xiao Wang's eyes flashed, "I contacted him some time ago, I will invite him here."
In the afternoon, the miracle doctor Valley Master came into the palace to see the Queen. Although he prescribed medicine, it only alleviated the Queen's symptoms of dyspnea, but he could not guarantee that it would be cured.
Chu Xingchen was a little disappointed, but he thanked her carefully.
"Your Highness is being polite, but you don't dare to take it seriously." The owner of the Miracle Medical Valley was a grey-haired and very kind old man, and Xiao Wang personally sent him out.
The old Valley Master asked Xiao Wang to support him and took the opportunity to check his pulse, "Is the person you want to hide from your Highness the Queen?"
Xiao Wang glanced at the palace servants behind him out of the corner of his eye and made sure they couldn't hear before humming, "Old Valley Master, please keep it a secret."
The old Valley Master frowned and nodded. Xiao Wang saw him let go and hesitated, "Old Valley Master, the antidote..."
