Chapter 95 That's Chinese Medicine
Jing Sixuan woke up in the middle of the night and found himself in the Crown Princess' bed, and with her...
He woke up instantly, his eyes filled with fear and disbelief. He slapped his head hard, trying to wake himself up from this nightmare-like reality, but the pain told him that all this was real.
Jing Sixuan was so scared that he quickly sat up, fumbled for his clothes on the bed with his hands, and immediately got out of bed and put them on.
But his fingers were shaking and he couldn't button his clothes. His usual calmness and composure disappeared without a trace.
"Impossible, how is this possible?"
He kept murmuring, "I promised Bai Zhuo that I would be with Bai Zhuo tonight."
Suddenly, he seemed to remember something and his face turned pale.
Bai Zhuo agreed to come to the Prince's Palace tonight, and now... he must have known that he was here with the Crown Princess. The more Jing Sixuan thought about it, the more flustered he became in putting on his clothes.
He simply picked up his shoes and prepared to rush out. But just after taking a step, he suddenly stopped.
He remembered that Bai Zhuo loved cleanliness the most. His current appearance, full of aura that did not belong to him, would definitely make him dislike him.
Thinking of this, Jing Sixuan immediately called out to the servants: "Go, get some hot water, hurry up!"
The servant did not dare to delay and hurriedly fetched hot water. Jing Sixuan dived into the water and used a large amount of soapberry to wipe his body desperately.
After an incense stick of time, he dried his body hastily, changed into clean clothes, tied his hair up casually, and rushed towards the Prince's Palace in a hurry.
When he arrived at the Prince's Palace breathlessly, he found that the palace was empty and Bai Zhuo was no longer there. He quickly grabbed the servant beside him and asked:
"Where is Mr. Bai?"
The servant lowered his head and responded, "Mr. Bai has been here before. He knew... knew that the prince had gone to the Crown Princess' place, so he left."
"What?"
Jing Sixuan only felt a buzzing sound in his head, as if he was hit by a heavy hammer. He quickly grabbed the man's arm and asked in a tone that was almost out of control:
"Is Ah Zhuo very angry? Isn't he?"
The servant was frightened by his appearance and dared not speak a word. Jing Sixuan's hand slipped weakly and his steps staggered.
He recalled that before nightfall, the Crown Princess just came over and called him, so how could he have followed her for some unknown reason?
He slapped himself hard in the face twice, his eyes full of pain and self-blame. He looked in the direction of Bai Zhuo's side hall, his feet still moving towards there involuntarily.
He must explain it clearly to Bai Zhuo, whether he believes it or not.
When he walked into the Baizhuo Palace, there was no light in the bedroom.
Jing Sixuan: Bai Zhuo is most afraid of the dark, why don’t you light a lamp?
Jing Sixuan pushed the door open and smelled a strong odor of alcohol. He took out a lighter and lit the lamp, and saw Bai Zhuo sleeping on the table with two empty wine bottles lying casually beside him.
Seeing this, Jing Sixuan's heart suddenly tightened. He went over and gently called him twice, but Bai Zhuo just moved and murmured:
"Liar, all... liars." But he showed no sign of waking up.
Jing Sixuan had no choice but to pick up Bai Zhuo, help him take off his clothes, put him on the bed, and then lie down on it himself.
When Jing Sixuan woke up the next day, he found that the bed was empty. He hurriedly put on his clothes while calling out:
"Azhuo, Azhuo..."
The bedroom door was opened, and the person who came in was not Bai Zhuo, but Zhai Qing who was dressed as Wu Gui.
"Your Highness, Mr. Bai has caught a cold and is now making medicine."
"Caught a cold? Boiling medicine?" Jing Sixuan was so angry when he heard these two words that he kicked the stool in front of him towards Zhai Qing.
"How do you servants serve others? Young Master Bai was drinking alone in his bedroom. Who knows how long he has been sleeping on the table? And you let him make medicine by himself."
Zhai Qing was calm at first, but when he thought of his current identity as Wu Gui, he immediately knelt on the ground and bowed his hands to plead guilty:
"Your Highness, it was Master Bai who didn't allow us to be disturbed last night, and Master Bai couldn't... hire a royal physician."
Jing Sixuan: Indeed, Mr. Bai’s current status is just a male concubine, how can he invite an imperial physician?
He strode hurriedly towards the front hall. As soon as he entered, he smelled a scent of medicine. Then he saw Bai Zhuo covering his mouth with a handkerchief and fanning the fire.
Jing Sixuan stepped forward to grab the fan, but Bai Zhuo deliberately dodged him. Bai Zhuo didn't even raise his head and continued to wave the fan in his hand.
"Azhuo, I know you are angry with me, but..." Jing Sixuan didn't know how to explain.
"I really don't know how I ended up in the Crown Princess' bedroom. I swear..."
"Your Highness," Bai Zhuo finally spoke, "You don't have to explain anything. You are husband and wife, this is normal."
Jing Sixuan felt a sharp pain in his heart when he heard this, "Azhuo, you don't believe me?"
Bai Zhuo coughed twice and said, "No, Ah Zhuo is just clear about his own identity. I don't think about things that I shouldn't think about."
"A Zhuo..." Jing Sixuan kept his eyes fixed on Bai Zhuo, trying to see a hint of insincerity in his eyes, but Bai Zhuo remained expressionless, with no ripples in his eyes.
"Azhuo, I don't believe it. Are you really not feeling any pain at all?"
Bai Zhuo paused waving his fan when he heard this. He slowly turned his head and looked at Jing Sixuan. His emotions, which he had just controlled well, could no longer be contained. His eyes began to moisten, and he choked up and said:
"So, Your Highness the Crown Prince did this just to see if Ah Zhuo would feel uncomfortable?"
"No, no," Jing Sixuan hugged him quickly.
"I really don't know how I ended up at the Crown Princess' place..."
The more he tried to explain, the more unclear he became, so he had to change the subject temporarily:
"Azhuo, I'll go get you a royal doctor. I'm afraid these folk remedies might delay your condition."
Bai Zhuo put down his fan, wiped his tears and said:
"No need for that. Ah Zhuo is a nobody. He never sees a doctor when he catches a cold."
Jing Siye smoothed his hair and said, "Azhuo will be different from now on. If you get sick, people will feel sorry for you. So, I will send someone to invite the imperial physician to come and treat Azhuo."
Every word of their conversation reached the ears of Zhai Qing who was waiting on the side. Before entering the palace, he heard Jing Siye say that the prince had a crush on Bai Zhuo. The prince didn't seem to be insincere just now. So, there was only one possibility, that was Jing Sixuan's Chinese medicine.
