Wen Hemian: "..."
Wen Hemian, unable to bear it any longer, snatched the medicine bottle from his hand: "Fake kindness! You didn't restrain yourself earlier, what kind of good person are you pretending to be afterward?"
Xie Lang blinked innocently, his eyes darkening slightly: "I never said I was a good person."
Wen Hemian remained silent.
She simply gave up arguing with Xie Lang and got up to go to the bronze mirror.
She couldn't bear to hurt herself, so she reached out and applied the ointment to the broken skin on her neck. Thinking about who had bitten her, she felt both angry and helpless.
The little rascal has so much energy he has nowhere to use it.
This palace is his domain. Wen Hemian lives here every day, which puts him in a very passive position.
Wen Hemian applied the ointment with a cold expression, then said, "Since His Majesty is alright, I will go back first. The imperial physician will examine you properly when he arrives."
Don't go on and lash out at her again next time.
Wen Hemian is not a person without a temper.
She hasn't explicitly agreed or conceded yet, and Xie Lang is already acting so recklessly. What will happen in the future? We need to find a way to establish some rules.
If one method of dealing with children doesn't work, try another.
Xie Lang's attitude was very clear: he would listen to everything Wen Hemian said, but whether he would do it or not was another matter. As Wen Hemian walked out, he followed closely behind her.
When Wen Heming turned around after speaking, she was startled to see a figure half a step behind her. She didn't know what to say: "...Your Majesty, are you listening to me?"
Xie Lang nodded: "Yes."
You're listening, but you're not really listening, are you?
Wen Hemian glanced at His Majesty the Emperor's still somewhat pale face and was speechless for a moment. He wanted to continue cursing, but considering that His Majesty wouldn't listen, he simply swallowed his words.
She said helplessly, "Whatever."
While the two were delayed, the imperial physician had already been summoned. He was a new face, but Wen Hemian wasn't surprised. After all, three years was enough time to replace many people.
It's unclear what kind of image Xie Lang holds in their hearts. The imperial physician was extremely cautious, even his breathing was very soft, as if he was afraid of disturbing something.
"With the incense suppressing the symptoms, His Majesty's health is temporarily fine, but it would be even better if he could take some herbal medicine. Your Majesty..."
The imperial physician hesitated, as if he wanted to speak but then stopped.
Wen Hemian decisively said, "Drink."
The imperial physician was new and had never met Wen Hemian before. However, being in the inner palace, he had heard about the recent events and guessed that she must be the beauty that His Majesty had brought into the palace.
I had initially thought she was a beautiful and charming woman, but upon meeting her, I discovered that while she is indeed beautiful, she seems to have a rather assertive personality, even in front of His Majesty. Isn't she afraid of being punished?
However, something even more surprising soon happened: His Majesty not only did not punish him, but also readily agreed: "I will listen to Han Shuang."
Such tenderness was reserved for only one person. His gaze swept over the stunned imperial physician, and instantly turned cold: "Why aren't you going yet?"
Instinct beat his brain to react; the imperial physician shuddered and hurriedly went to prepare.
Wen Hemian was both amused and exasperated: "Why do you keep scaring them? Look at how everyone in the palace is afraid of you. Is this how the name of a tyrant spreads?"
Xie Lang is the emperor, and Wen Hemian cannot expect him to make friends like ordinary people, but he should at least have some people to talk to, otherwise he will be too lonely.
Xie Lang remained noncommittal.
He asked Wen Heming, "Are you going back?"
Wen Hemian gritted her teeth slightly: "Go back."
When the imperial physician arrived at the door, she couldn't refuse Xie Lang's request, so she had no choice but to sit back down. She had just been forced onto the bed not long ago... In any case, she couldn't look at this place directly for the time being, so staying was out of the question.
Xie Langai followed along; it's always better to be familiar with a place you've lived in before.
Xie Lang chuckled softly: "When I was little, the Grand Tutor used to hold me in his arms and coax me. Now it's just a different way. Is there any need to be so shy?"
Xie Lang was undoubtedly very happy. He had finally shed his frail and vulnerable appearance from his youth and was able to openly embrace the person he loved. There was nothing wrong with that.
Wen Hemian walked out with a blank face and no words. Xie Lang had no choice but to follow.
Lai Xi, who was waiting outside, was overjoyed when he saw that there was no movement inside after the imperial physician came out. He was so happy that he cried tears of joy, thinking that good things were about to happen.
Unexpectedly, the teacher and student came out one after the other in the next moment, and everyone was completely confused. What was going on this time?
He muttered to himself with a bitter expression.
The two people in front of him couldn't hear his inner thoughts and returned to the side hall in silence.
Wen Hemian went straight to bed, lowered the bed curtains, and closed her eyes to rest, regardless of what Xie Lang thought.
Xie Lang stood there for a long time, his gaze slowly shifting from the silver chain to the bed. As if thinking of something, a faint smile appeared on his lips.
Regardless, Wen Hemian is by his side now.
He had imagined this scene a thousand times in his dreams, and finally, it had come true.
-
When Wen Hemian woke up, Xie Lang was no longer in the room.
Lai Xi said that he had gone to court.
She inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief and began to inquire about the ins and outs of the matter.
She didn't want to make things difficult for him: "Tell me more things you can say."
Yesterday, he saw both the people he should and shouldn't have seen. Lai Xi, in a fit of despair, said, "This servant will not lie to you. Your Majesty's headache started that winter. After you left, Your Majesty was always in a daze, running to the Prince's Mansion in thin clothes. Perhaps he was staying up too hard, because one day the pain suddenly started."
Lai Xi only realized later that it wasn't just the pain of losing a loved one, but also the longing for the person she loved.
But to be fair... Lai Xi glanced back slyly: "Lord Wen, don't blame yourself, it's not entirely your fault."
Even Lai Xi could understand this principle, so Wen Hemian wouldn't engage in internal strife.
She shook her head with a chuckle and asked, "Did His Majesty take his medicine before going to court?"
"Drink up, drink up." Lai Xi laughed. "With you here, His Majesty is very obedient."
It will be fine after drinking it.
Wen Hemian nodded: "I want to go out for a walk. Can I go anywhere in the palace?"
Lai Xi: "Of course."
After asking the question, Wen Hemian got up with a sense of relief and prepared to go out for a stroll.
She touched the scabbed wound on her neck, pondered for a while, then picked up the veil placed to the side and put it on, hoping it would at least cover her up a bit, otherwise it would be too embarrassing if she were seen.
The palace was large, and Xie Lang's verbal restriction was only that she was not allowed to leave the palace. As long as she didn't run around, it was fine. Moreover, she probably had someone following her and was always ready to report to Xie Lang.
With Lai Xi, a familiar face, around, even if someone doesn't recognize Wen Hemian, they will let her pass when they see her coming.
Wen Hemian didn't have any particular place she wanted to go, so she headed towards the Imperial Study. Before she even got there, she ran into Ye Zhaoxuan, who was coming from another direction.
