She carried the medicine forward slowly and said, "Your Majesty, Consort Shu's medicine is ready. This servant will serve her the medicine." Qianxia said.
Yu Jingchen glanced at it and said, "Put the medicine down and you can leave." But Qianxia...
"Your Majesty, Her Majesty is in such a state, I'd better feed her the medicine myself, otherwise she might not be able to drink it." Although Qianxia was quite scared, she still mustered up her courage to say it.
Yu Jingchen frowned, but ultimately said nothing. He gently lifted Nan Zhiyun up and laid her face down on his lap; otherwise, she definitely wouldn't be able to swallow the medicine if she lay flat like that.
"Then let's feed her the medicine." Yu Jingchen didn't insist. Qianxia went over, put the tray aside, and knelt down to pick up the medicine and feed it to Nan Zhiyun.
Yu Jingchen supported Nan Zhiyun, but... he still couldn't feed her anything. Nan Zhiyun vomited it all up, and Yu Jingchen felt heartbroken watching this.
"Fine, give it to me." Yu Jingchen reached out his hand. Although Qianxia hesitated, she didn't persist this time and handed the medicine to Yu Jingchen.
"Get out," Yu Jingchen said.
Qianxia hesitated, but looking at the current situation, she figured there probably wouldn't be any time left. His Majesty had been quite attentive just now, and his attitude towards the Empress had changed significantly. So, if she stayed here, she might actually be a burden. Having figured this out, Qianxia didn't linger any longer and immediately got up and left.
Yu Jingchen wiped the medicine stains off Nan Zhiyun, then tried to feed her spoonful by spoonful, but she still couldn't swallow it. Yu Jingchen frowned slightly. Finally, seeing that there was no other way, she could only adjust Nan Zhiyun's position, drink the medicine herself, and then feed it to her.
Yu Jingchen had never used this method before. The first reason was that when he was reborn, he had not fully realized his feelings for Nan Zhiyun, so he would not do such an outrageous thing.
Later, after realizing the truth, Nan Zhiyun had long since gotten used to taking her medicine herself. This girl, who was clearly terrified of bitterness, had actually forced herself to get used to it. She could drink a bowl of bitter medicine without hesitation.
Later, after Nan Zhiyun's relationship with herself improved, especially after she had a child, she seemed to become more and more like a child again. She would whine and ask to be fed her medicine, but if the medicine was bitter, she would still bring it to him herself, because drinking it sip by sip was truly torture. However, even if she wanted to, she would always have a good quip and joke before taking her medicine, truly never growing up.
(This refers to the life of Nan Zhiyun and Yu Jingchen after they had their child, as depicted in the main story, but I haven't written about it yet. If anyone is interested, I might write two chapters about it after these side stories are finished, depending on everyone's wishes, or I could write it directly on Weibo.)
However, he was happy to do so at that time because his feelings for Nan Zhiyun were genuine. So when faced with these situations, he liked to pamper her and enjoy her acting coquettishly towards him. Nan Zhiyun was younger than him and had been pampered since childhood, so what if she lived like a child? As long as she was happy, she could live however she wanted.
Yu Jingchen fed the medicine into Nan Zhiyun's mouth and made her swallow before releasing her. Although this method was somewhat... unavoidable under the circumstances, he could only hope the girl wouldn't find it offensive...
And so, Yu Jingchen fed her the entire bowl of medicine. The medicine was indeed quite bitter, but it was nothing to Yu Jingchen. It was just pitiful for Nan Zhiyun, who was so afraid of bitter tastes, and had to suffer like this every time.
After Yu Jingchen finished feeding her the medicine, he put down the bowl and then took a handkerchief to wipe the medicine stains from the corners of her mouth. Perhaps it was because she had cried so much that her little face was all scrunched up... Tsk, Yu Jingchen took a candied fruit from his pocket and put it in her mouth.
He had just asked Xinglai to prepare this, because he figured he'd need it eventually. And with his experience from his previous two lives, he was already used to carrying it with him.
"I won't drink..." Even though Nan Zhiyun was not fully conscious, she was still saying these two words, which showed how much she resisted.
"I don't want to drink it anymore. It's candied fruit, so it won't be bitter if you eat it," Yu Jingchen coaxed her.
Nan Zhiyun couldn't understand, so Yu Jingchen put the candied fruit in her mouth. At first, Nan Zhiyun did not eat it, but later she seemed to calm down a little. It seems that the candied fruit is still effective.
Yu Jingchen didn't put Nan Zhiyun back down, but let her lie on his lap. Compared to the previous position, this position was slightly better, as she would be uncomfortable if she stayed in one position for too long.
Nan Zhiyun lay on his lap, and Yu Jingchen even put a pillow under her to make her more comfortable. He also reached out to check her forehead temperature; it hadn't gone down yet and was still burning hot. Yu Jingchen's heart clenched.
In her previous life, Nan Zhiyun caught a cold and had a fever. She was listless for many days, feeling unwell every day with a terrible headache. She would stay in her own arms all day, not wanting to move at all.
At that time, Nan Zhiyun was the Empress. Every day, there were some trivial matters in the harem. Although she told people not to bother her, she would inevitably encounter situations where she needed to attend to others. However, this little Empress was feeling very uncomfortable. She huddled in her own arms and, taking advantage of her position, said to the people below, "His Majesty is holding me. Ask His Majesty."
At the time, I was completely softened by this delicate little bundle of joy, and I gave in to her every whim. Perhaps the most outrageous thing I did was to carry the little empress to the morning court session?
At that time, Nan Zhiyun was pregnant and became very sensitive and clingy. She needed to be soothed to sleep in the mornings, so he simply started carrying her to the morning court sessions, and not just for one day, but for several months. Nan Zhiyun initially felt uncomfortable, saying she would be good from now on and wouldn't need to be soothed or skip the morning court sessions. But she didn't last more than a few days before she relapsed, and finally gave up and just went anyway.
Thinking about these things, Yu Jingchen's heart began to soften completely...
