Chapter 16: Drink it quickly, the medicine is cold

After hearing the contents of the imperial edict, there was not the slightest ripple in Zhao Fangye's eyes.

She even had the leisure to reach out and gently wipe the rice grains from the corners of Song Huaixi's mouth with a handkerchief.

The eunuch who announced the decree saw that he was so arrogant and did not take himself or the emperor seriously at all.

Standing in place, she said in a shrill voice: "Well! How dare you be so presumptuous, Prince Ning. I will report your behavior today to His Majesty!"

Zhao Fangye didn't even bother to look at him, his face turned cold: "Get lost!"

The father-in-law was so angry that his mouth was crooked and he glared at him fiercely. Throw the imperial edict to Uncle Wang who was kneeling on the ground.

Turned and walked out of the room.

Opening his mouth and taking the mouthful of porridge fed by Zhao Fangye, Song Huaixi looked at the eunuch's angry back. Blinking his eyes, he looked at Zhao Fangye.

"Why is he here again? He seems unhappy today? Why?"

Song Huaixi didn't understand the oral instruction just now, and naturally didn't know that because of his sudden fever, Zhao Fangye was being picked on by the emperor.

He had seen that eunuch before. It was he who was holding the yellow cloth and saying that he was going to get married in the Song Mansion. But what he didn't know was that this man was the eunuch in charge who was quite favored by the emperor.

He was used to showing off his power in the court, and all the civil and military officials were somewhat afraid of him. It was only when he met Zhao Fangye that he suffered a complete setback.

This time, he must be unhappy, and who knows how he would fabricate a false accusation against Zhao Fangye when he returns to the palace.

But Zhao Fangye didn't take this eunuch seriously at all, and he didn't even take the emperor seriously. What is there to be afraid of with a dog beside him?

Zhao Fangye ate his meal calmly and didn't say much to Song Huaixi who was staring at him curiously.

She looked up at him and said, "Let's have dinner."

"oh."

Everyone stood up, and Nanny Zhang had a lot of thoughts in her mind. It seemed that he and the princess had caused a big trouble for the prince.

He looked at the two people who were having a meal beside the bed, but Zhao Fangye didn't seem to have the intention of taking his anger out on Song Huaixi.

Even her attitude towards him was much better than before.

After dinner, Chunhua brought a bowl of black medicine.

Song Huaixi had sharp eyes and saw what was in the bowl at once. Resisting, he shrank back into the bed.

While crawling, he said, "I don't want to drink the medicine! Take it away! Don't drink it!"

Seeing how resistant he was, Chunhua was helpless for a moment holding the bowl of medicine.

Zhao Fangye sat on the couch beside him and instructed Lieutenant General Sun to handle military affairs. Before I could say a few words, I heard a noise coming from behind the screen.

Nanny Zhang took the medicine bowl and said to Song Huaixi in a stern voice, "Princess, are you starting to act like a spoiled brat? How can your illness get better without taking the medicine? When you were in the Song residence before, with the Madam watching over you, Princess never acted like this!"

Song Huaixi refused to take the medicine, and he still escaped even when Chunhua and Chaolu held him down. The medicine bowl that was handed to his mouth was knocked to the ground.

I had to change another bowl of medicine.

Even the nanny who had watched him grow up couldn't help but speak in a stern tone. He is not in good health, and not taking medicine will only prolong his illness.

How could his body withstand such torture?

Seeing that the nanny who had always been kind to him was suddenly so mean to him, her words reminded Song Huaixi of the long days when he was forced to take drugs. Suddenly, a feeling of grievance surged in my heart.

If you frown, you will cry.

Aunt Zhang felt sorry for him seeing him like this, but how could he not take the medicine?

She hardened her heart and brought the bowl to his mouth: "Be good, drink it in one gulp and it won't be bitter anymore. Just bear with it and it will pass."

Zhao Fangye walked around the screen and saw Song Huaixi sobbing with tears in her eyes, and being forced to drink medicine.

The fair little face is almost turning into a bitter gourd, oozing bitterness continuously.

Looks so pitiful and helpless.

"Everyone, go down." Zhao Fangye took the medicine from Nanny Zhang and said to the people gathered around the bed.

Chunhua and Chaolu looked at Zhao Fangye with some surprise in their eyes.

They were only a few years old when they were picked up, although they were still children. But the prince never treated them like this.

The prince has always been unkind and cold. They thought the prince was born like this, but they didn't expect to see such a gentle side of him.

Suddenly I felt a little sour in my heart, and there was a bit more envy in my eyes when I looked at Song Huaixi.

Everyone left, and Song Huaixi looked up at Zhao Fangye who was holding the bowl of medicine. Seeing his cold expression, Song Huaixi felt a little scared, thinking that he was also here to force her to drink medicine.

The voice was weaker, but she still resisted with sobs: "I won't take the medicine..."

Without answering him, Zhao Fangye placed the bowl of medicine on a small table beside him. Use a handkerchief to wipe his red eyes.

The tone was helpless but with a subtle hint of doting: "You cry every day, are you made of water?"

Hearing his words, Song Huaixi felt even more wronged: "I'm sad, can't I cry? I'm not like this at home. I feel sad every day here..."

The fingers that were wiping his tears paused, and Zhao Fangye suddenly felt heavy in his heart. Yes, he was originally the carefree young master in the Song family.

He was sent to the palace to suffer injustice. One look at Song Huaixi's temperament and you can tell that he was brought up in a spoiled way. Otherwise, I wouldn't be so upset and cry over such a small thing.

I brushed my fingertips across his wet eyelashes and repeated his words: "Are you sad every day?"

After a pause, Song Huaixi thought for a moment and said, "Not every day..."

Sometimes I am still very happy.

"Really? Is there anything in the palace that would make you happy?"

"Um..."

Song Huaixi glanced at him and stopped crying.

Seriously, "I am happy to eat with you, sleep with you, write with you, and practice swordplay with you."

"I'm glad to see you."

These words were spoken frankly, and Song Huaixi did not feel that there was anything wrong with it. The pitch-black eyes stared straight into Zhao Fangye's eyes without blinking.

So clean, so hot.

The moment their eyes met, Zhao Fangye felt as if he was burned. It was as if my heart was struck by thunder and I couldn't help but tremble.

He looked at Song Huaixi for a long time with his eyelashes lowered. Only then did Zhao Fangye suppress the violent beating of his heart.

He calmly picked up the medicine bowl beside him.

"Take the medicine."

"ah?"

The topic changed so quickly that Song Huaixi didn't react for a moment. He immediately waved his hand and shrank back into the bed.

"No medicine! No medicine!"

Zhao Fangye quickly grabbed his ankle that was exposed outside the quilt and pulled him into his arms with one hand.

Suppressing his struggle, the slender fingertips quickly tapped a spot on his neck.

Holding the medicine to his mouth, Zhao Fangye looked serious.

"Drink it, it's not bitter."

Song Huaixi realized that after being poked by him, she seemed to no longer smell the bitter taste, so she calmed down. He looked at the medicine bowl doubtfully.

Seeing that he was still skeptical, Zhao Fangye slowed down his voice: "I won't lie to you."

Song Huaixi looked at him with watery eyes and said pitifully: "Don't lie to me..."

Zhao Fangye nodded.

After probing the tip of his tongue and tasting it tentatively, Song Huaixi's eyes immediately lit up: "It's really not bitter!"

"Zhao Fangye, it's really not bitter! You are so awesome!"

Song Huaixi grabbed his wrist, very excited. Her eyes sparkled just like they did on their wedding night. She looked at him with admiration in her eyes.

What a pair of pure eyes. I want to dig out his eyes with my own shadow and keep them forever.

But I can’t bear to…

Reaching out his hand and touching the corner of his eyes with pity, Zhao Fangye suppressed his dark thoughts.

She handed the bowl to his lips: "Drink it quickly, the medicine is getting cold."
