"The person we are going to see is not in good health, so you should bring the medicine box with you." Chu Han's tone was calm, not a commanding tone.
Xie Yao raised her eyebrows in surprise, she knew why Chu Han insisted on letting her follow him.
It turns out someone needs medical treatment.
Did he make a special trip to Chu Han to ask her for treatment, or was it just a coincidence?
After thinking for a while, she went back to get the medicine box.
The doctor only sees the patient and nothing else.
If she doesn't want to be cured, it's okay, the worst she can do is come back with the medicine box.
If you want to get treatment, it will be a bit embarrassing without a medicine box to cover it.
When Chu Han saw her coming out with the medicine box, his eyes softened a lot.
The two of them left the house and got on the carriage. Xie Yao sat directly opposite Chu Han, the farthest seat away from him.
Chu Han felt depressed and just glanced at her without saying a word.
As the carriage started, Xie Yao remembered that Chu Han had forced her to come out for this trip. She glanced at him coldly, but the words came to her lips but she didn't say them out.
Huh?
Chu Han's state was a little strange.
She glanced at it and frowned subconsciously.
Chu Han, who had always been tough, cold, and domineering, was now like a child who had lost all his playmates, sitting alone in a corner, with a deep desolation covering his body.
Seeing Chu Han like this, Xie Yao raised her eyebrows.
This is so similar to the state she was in when she just traveled through time!
She was alone in a different world, with no relatives or friends around her. She would never forget the feeling of loneliness.
Looking at Chu Han at this moment, she felt inexplicably as if her breathing was being held back, and she was very uncomfortable.
As if he felt Xie Yao's gaze, Chu Han raised his head, his eyes met his, and the corner of his mouth twitched, revealing a smile, "The person I want to see soon is King Pingxi."
"His health is very poor. If possible, I hope you can treat him."
Apart from that, Chu Han didn't say much.
King Pingxi? Xie Yao's heart skipped a beat. Isn't he the younger brother of the current emperor and the uncle of Chu Han?
In my memory, the emperor did have such a younger brother, who was granted the title of King of Pingxi and went to guard the west.
It's not so much guarding, but actually moving away.
The west side is a long way from the capital. The King of Pingxi has never been back to the capital since his transfer, so she hardly has much impression.
From Chu Han's words, she could feel that the relationship between Chu Han and King Pingxi was anything but normal.
Chu Han had never used such a tone before asking her to save someone.
But she didn't agree, nor did she refuse.
King Pingxi has a special status, so he can't be saved just by trying to save him.
"It depends on the situation. Whether it can be treated depends on the patient's symptoms and mentality." She said slowly, her tone seemed to be affected by Chu Han, her tone was a little low.
"Thank you very much." Chu Han actually said thank you.
Xie Yao gave a strange look. She was not used to Chu Han talking like this.
Faintly, she sensed that King Pingxi's illness might not be ordinary.
Prince Pingxi's Mansion is not far from Prince Han's Mansion, and the carriage will arrive soon.
After getting off the carriage, Chu Han glanced at Prince Pingxi's Mansion in front of him and frowned slightly.
Xie Yao also saw it and felt a little strange.
This palace is a bit too old, in disrepair, and somewhat dilapidated.
If there was no plaque and it was said to be an abandoned mansion of an ordinary family, no one would doubt it.
The dignified King Pingxi, the emperor's younger brother, lives in such a mansion?
Entering inside, Xie Yao quickly saw the protagonist of this trip, a middle-aged man sitting on the bedside, pouring tea with one hand.
"Uncle Emperor, why are you sitting up?" When Chu Han saw it, he immediately stepped forward and supported King Pingxi, trying to make King Pingxi lie down.
"I have been lying down all day. It doesn't hurt to sit for a while. You can come and sit with me for a while." King Ping Xi had a peaceful smile on his face and did not care about Chu Han's rudeness.
"Okay, I'll sit with you." Chu Han said, letting King Pingxi lean on the bedside, and he picked up the teapot, "I'll make tea."
King Pingxi did not stop him. He glanced at Chu Han calmly, then turned to Xie Yao who was standing aside, and said casually: "This is my niece-in-law."
As soon as Xie Yao came in, he noticed that King Pingxi's legs were weak and drooping, and even one of his arms was like this.
My heart suddenly sank, this...
"I've met the emperor, and I want to say hello to him." Xie Yao immediately came back to her senses and saluted.
"No need to be formal, come and sit." Ping Xi looked at Xie Yao and waved with a smile.
Xie Yao went over and sat down opposite the tea table.
King Pingxi saw the medicine box in Xie Yao's hand and asked Chu Han, "Xiao Wuzi, does your wife know medicine?"
Chu Han looked embarrassed and said, "Uncle Emperor, don't call me that..."
King Pingxi laughed self-deprecatingly, and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes grew a little, "Look at my memory, I forgot that you are already married, so it is naturally inappropriate to use the previous title."
Chu Han poured a cup of tea and handed it over, "Uncle Emperor, please have some tea."
King Pingxi took the tea, took a sip, and praised: "The same tea leaves, the same water, but different people make completely different tastes. Your tea art has improved a lot."
"Uncle Emperor, I was still a child when I made tea last time. You have given me enough face by giving me a cup of tea." Chu Han responded softly, with the corners of his mouth curved, like a child who was very happy after being praised by his elders.
Xie Yao looked at the conversation between the elder and the younger, chatting about everyday things, but there was something warm about it, and her heart softened a little.
At present, it seems that King Pingxi has a very easy-going personality, which is very different from that of the scheming emperor.
After chatting for a while, Chu Han brought the topic to the right track.
"Uncle Huang has guarded Western Xinjiang for many years and has never come back once. Why did he suddenly return to Beijing today?" Chu Han asked with a solemn expression.
"You are good at talking." King Pingxi cursed with a smile. There was a hint of bitterness in the corner of his eyes, but there was still a gentle smile on his face. "In fact, there is nothing wrong with my return this time."
"I just miss home. I plan to stay here for a long time and don't plan to leave."
Such a normal conversation sounded like thunder to Chu Han. His eyes suddenly narrowed, with concern, "Your... body."
Listening to Chu Han's cautious words, Xie Yao also guessed that the physical condition of King Pingxi was probably very bad.
As soon as she came in, she smelled the smell of death.
Although this description is a bit mysterious, based on her many years of medical experience, this is an undeniable fact.
When a person is about to die, the body's metabolism will change, and the taste produced will also change accordingly.
If you stay in one place for a long time and the air is not circulated, the smell will accumulate and become stronger.
King Pingxi smiled indifferently, and his tone was as relaxed as if he was not talking about himself, "It's nothing to make a fuss about. Birth, old age, illness and death are just human nature. I am very lucky that I still have the opportunity to come back here, to this place that I miss so much."
