Chapter 55: Shuyi also fell ill
"Shuyi, why hasn't Dad come back yet?"
The little girl ran to Cheng Shuyi's window, and even when she stood on tiptoe, she could only show half of her head.
Cheng Shuyi was bent over the desk taking notes.
She has to go to the Ministry of Revenue to pay taxes tomorrow, and the bills from several stores have arrived tonight.
Even though "Shengjing Yiwei" and "Yiming Jingsui" have only been open for a few days.
But as long as you open your business in July, you will have to pay taxes in August.
"Wait a little longer." Cheng Shuyi stretched lazily. "Xu Xu, are you hungry? Mommy will make you a midnight snack?"
During dinner, Sheng Tinglan suddenly came to the house.
The three of them, mother and her two children, did not eat well.
The two children only ate one chicken leg each.
It was late at night and she was hungry.
"Not hungry."
My sister said two words, turned around and ran out again, and looked into the alley at the gate.
Cheng Shuyi couldn't do anything to her.
The little girl was obviously very sleepy.
I played in the mountains all day and came back in the evening and cried for most of the hour.
Her brother, who was doing homework next to her, was drowsy on the table and didn't even notice the ink on his face.
The little girl was still holding on and waiting for Pei Yanli.
Cheng Shuyi carefully carried his son to his bed and let him take a nap.
As I was putting away the homework on the table, I heard the sound of horse hooves and my daughter's cheers outside.
Cheng Shuyi knew it was Pei Yanli.
When Pei Yanli rode his horse into Pingxi Lane, he saw from afar a small shadow sitting on the steps at the door of Cheng's house.
At the sound of his horse's hooves, the little figure jumped up with joy.
She ran to the middle of the alley, raised her hands above her head and waved at him, "Dad—"
Seeing this scene, Pei Yanli's eyes were filled with tears.
Thinking of what happened in the mansion just now, he felt a dull pain in his chest.
How could his innocent and lovely daughter be used as a sacrifice?
"Xu Xu!"
Before the horse stopped galloping, Pei Yanli had already turned over, bent down and held his daughter in his arms.
"Why is Xu Xu here?"
The younger sister hugged Pei Yanli's neck and put her face against his forehead.
In a childish voice, he asked with concern, "I'm waiting for Dad to come home. Is your head still dizzy?"
The doctor who came in the evening said that Dad needs to have a good rest.
Pei Yanli choked up inexplicably: "I'm not dizzy anymore."
When he returned home, no one asked him a question.
The royal palace is well-behaved, and it seems that uncles and uncles are in harmony and brothers are friendly and respectful to each other, but in fact, the family affection that should be there has been diluted by the rules.
"It's so late and you're still not asleep, won't Shuyi scold you?"
Pei Yanli held his daughter in one hand and led the horse in the other as he entered the courtyard and closed the door.
"Shuyi is still keeping accounts, and my brother is helping me with my homework. I want to wait for Dad to come back, so I won't sleep." The little girl's unhappiness disappeared very quickly.
The tension and fear from the evening were no longer on his face.
Pei Yanli carried his daughter to Cheng Shuyi's room.
Cheng Shuyi didn't move, just glanced at him, "You're back, let Xuxu go to bed, she has to go to school tomorrow."
Pei Yanli responded and picked up his son who was lying on the bed.
Went next door to coax the two kids to sleep.
The two children played all day today and didn't even take a nap.
Pei Yanli stayed by the bed for a while, and the two children fell asleep.
He closed the door gently, turned around and went to Cheng Shuyi's room, and told her what happened in the palace tonight.
"Recognize Qiqi first, not Xuxu?"
Cheng Shuyi frowned after hearing this.
In the evening, she heard her brother say that the mistress of the Pei Mansion did not allow her sister to enter the ancestral hall. Her first reaction was that the palace favored boys over girls.
But unexpectedly, the Regent's Mansion not only favors boys over girls, but also wants to put Xu Xu in succession after Sheng Tinglan's child!
Cheng Shuyi looked at Pei Yanli sarcastically, "Your Highness, how many children do you and Sheng Tinglan plan to have? What is Xu Xu's rank in the Regent's Palace?"
As she spoke, she turned her head away uncomfortably, "If I had known Xu Xu would suffer such an injustice, I shouldn't have brought them here."
If my sister knew that she was not accepted and liked.
The little girl will be so sad.
Cheng Shuyi held her stomach, her stomach hurt again.
"Pei Yanli." She raised her head and said, suppressing the pain: "If the two children can't recognize your family together, I would rather take them away!"
She still has a few months to take them back to the modern era.
But after returning, who can I entrust the two children to take care of...
The thought of the two children having to live at their aunt's house and depend on others for their lives in the future, or being sent to an orphanage, makes me feel really sad.
Cheng Shuyi hated himself.
They are only five years old!
"Ouch!" Cheng Shuyi was in so much pain that he broke out in sweat.
She opened the drawer with trembling hands, poured out a few pills from the porcelain bottle, and put them directly into her mouth.
I wanted to drink some water, but found that the cup was empty.
Pei Yanli didn't know she was sick, so he quickly poured her a glass of water.
"What medicine are you taking? Where do you feel uncomfortable?"
"Stomach?"
He nervously stretched out his big palm to rub her.
Cheng Shuyi's face was pale and he had bitten the corner of his lip, under the double pressure of illness and sadness.
She finally couldn't bear it anymore and fainted.
"Shuyi! Shuyi!" Pei Yanli caught her, panicking.
But no matter how he shouted, Cheng Shuyi did not open his eyes.
Pei Yanli carried her to the bed, rushed out of the door, and went straight to Doctor Zhao's residence to capture him.
After taking the patient's pulse and making a diagnosis, Zhao Ning could only come to the conclusion that the patient had an irregular diet and the conflict between cold and heat, which led to liver and stomach disharmony and ultimately caused the illness.
Pei Yanli breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.
He was really scared to death just now.
"Your Highness, I have written a few prescriptions. You can take them three times a day." Doctor Zhao handed over the prescriptions tremblingly.
Pei Yanli took it and took a look at it. "Thank you for your hard work, Doctor Zhao. I won't see you off."
After Zhao Ning left, Pei Yanli went to the kitchen in the dark.
He lit the lamp, clumsily started the fire, and boiled a bowl of medicine overnight.
Fortunately, the two children were sleeping soundly and did not wake them up.
Otherwise, I'm afraid it will be very troublesome tonight.
Looking at the person lying unconscious on the bed and still mumbling in pain, Pei Yanli couldn't help but think.
During those days, was it particularly difficult for Cheng Shuyi to raise two children alone?
Does she often fall ill like this?
When she falls ill, will the two children cry anxiously?
Pei Yanli wiped the cold sweat from her forehead. He suddenly felt that he owed the three of them, mother and son, too much.
Perhaps, the division of the government is right.
