Chapter 60 Little Greedy Cat
Le Yue has not been summoned by He Yanchen for a long time.
Ever since she proposed the method to remove the poison, all matters have been taken care of by Xiao Yuanpan. She did not dare to go to Linde Palace on her own, for fear of displeasing He Yanchen.
But fortunately, Court Judge Xiao's knowledge of poisonous insects was not as good as hers, so she was finally able to enter the Linde Hall that day and take He Yanchen's pulse.
"Your Majesty is in good condition. The two poisonous insects have weakened a lot. I think they can be completely eradicated in a few days."
He Yanchen could feel it himself without her saying anything. The pain during the attack was not as severe as before. It might also be because Yue Li was by his side and he was in a good mood.
She didn't say much to Le Yue, who also noticed that it wasn't good for her to stay here forever, so she said, "Please ask Imperial Physician Xiao to give Your Majesty acupuncture. I'll go see how the medicine is going."
When she came out of the hall, she could no longer maintain the smile on her face.
If she waits until He Yanchen is completely recovered but there is no progress on her side, how can she stay in the palace?
Le Yue came to the small kitchen in the backyard with a restless mind. He turned the corridor and saw Yue Li coming out.
She quickly hid behind a pillar.
Le Yue looked at Yue Li holding the medicine bowl, but she poured half of the medicine into the grass, and then walked towards the front hall.
Le Yue slowly walked out only after Yue Li's figure disappeared from sight.
Why did she pour out the medicine?
She doesn't want His Majesty to get better?
With a lot of questions in his mind, Le Yue went back and happened to see He Yanchen preparing to take medicine, with Yue Li sitting beside him.
"Your Majesty." Le Yue suddenly spoke, startling Yue Li.
Le Yue took two steps forward and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. However, Le Yue sees that the dosage of this medicine seems a little off."
Yueli glared at her in annoyance.
Ask her to mind her own business.
Feeling that the woman next to him suddenly tensed up, like a kitten whose fur stood on end after someone accidentally entered its territory, He Yanchen held her hand.
Le Yue looked at Yue Li hesitantly for several times before lowering his head and saying, "The prescription was drawn up by Le Yue and Court Judge Xiao together. Logically, it shouldn't be just half a bowl."
"Excuse me, Concubine Yu, is this all you got when you got it from the kitchen just now?"
Yueli bit her lip and glanced at He Yanchen unconsciously, her fingers fiddling with the tassels hanging from her skirt: "What do you mean, Saint?"
"Le Yue has no other intentions. He is just worried that the dosage is too small and His Majesty's illness will be prolonged."
He Yanchen listened in silence and put the bowl of medicine aside.
There was only half a bowl of dark medicinal juice in it, and he had not drunk it yet.
Yue Li's expression was a little stiff, and she almost wanted to stand up, but He Yanchen held her hand.
He said calmly, "Everyone go out first."
Ji Ming and others did not dare to say anything more and retreated in a hurry. Ji Ming also wanted to pull Le Yue to prevent her from being scolded by His Majesty, but Le Yue did not understand his expression and dodged.
Ji Ming: ...
Forget it, it’s hard to persuade a damn ghost with kind words.
He quickened his pace and hurried out.
Le Yue said: "Your Majesty, Le Yue just saw Concubine Yu pouring medicine in the backyard. This matter concerns Your Majesty's health, Le Yue has to..."
"Get out."
Before she finished listening, He Yanchen raised his eyes. There was no warmth in his eyes, and his voice was cold with the sound of his patience running out.
Le Yue clenched his fists and faced such a gaze, but in the end he didn't dare to say anything more.
The sound of the palace door closing made Yueli shudder.
She heard the man ask, "Why did you pour out my medicine?"
He Yanchen narrowed his eyes. He was not stupid. Yue Li insisted on serving him medicine personally every day. She was not usually so attentive. Moreover, the medicine in the bowl was getting less and less every day. Anyone who was not blind could see it.
If he hadn't been exposed, he would have just let her make a fuss.
But now that it has been brought to light, He Yanchen feels that he still has to ask her for an explanation.
Yueli's eyes immediately turned red, and she lowered her head hastily, not daring to look at him: "I didn't..."
"Still lying?" He Yanchen pinched her chin and made her look up. "When did Jiaojiao learn to lie to me?"
Yueli's tears fell in strings. She closed her eyes and said in a desperate tone, "I just don't want Your Majesty to recover so quickly. When Your Majesty recovers, you will drive me away!"
He Yanchen frowned at her sobbing. "When did I say I was going to kick you out? Besides, this is my bedroom. Do you really want to stay here forever?"
"I just don't want to leave! Your Majesty, do you want to invite someone else here, so you want to drive me away?"
"Have some sense." He Yanchen was troubled by her crying. He wiped her tears expressionlessly, soaking his sleeves, but she continued to cry. "Did I ever say I would let you go? That if you return to Zhuoyu Palace, I won't see you anymore?"
"It was you who wanted me to be well, and now it's you who doesn't want me to be well."
Yue Li vented her frustration on the handkerchief in her hand, tearing it into a mess: "I don't think your majesty is in a bad mood, I just... I just hope that your majesty will recover more slowly... even more slowly..."
"Your Majesty, please don't abandon me..." Yue Li threw herself into his arms and hugged his waist tightly.
He Yanchen didn't have the heart to push her away after all. He said coldly, "Jiaojiao, if you want something, just tell me directly. Don't let me hear about your actions from other people."
Yueli pushed herself further and rubbed his chin with the top of her hair: "I just want to be with Your Majesty. Your Majesty, can you promise that even if you get better, you must still love me the most..."
"Who in this palace is more favored than you?" He Yanchen asked her, "What have I done to make you so anxious?"
"It's different..." Yueli complained aggrievedly.
She is different from them. They can all give birth, but she can't!
"Nothing is different. I spoiled you before, and I will continue to spoil you in the future."
Seeing her crying so hard, He Yanchen had no choice but to pick her up and let her sit in his arms: "Jiaojiao, it's good that you are like before. I will always love you."
Yueli sobbed twice, hugged his neck, and kept rubbing him: "Your Majesty... I want Your Majesty..."
She didn't believe these words. At this moment, she just wanted him to hold her tightly and love her with his actions.
Such blatant words caught He Yanchen's earlobes off guard and he blushed. He said, "No, what time is it now?"
Yueli didn't care, clinging to him like a kitten, her breath spraying on his neck: "Didn't you say you would love me?"
He Yanchen sighed: "There's really nothing I can do about you."
He placed her on the couch, leaned over her, his tall nose touching hers, and spoke in a deep voice with a hint of tenderness:
"Little greedy cat."
......
After carrying Yueli to wash her, He Yanchen put her on the bed.
The woman's cheeks were red, and she curled up obediently under the quilt with her eyes closed, but one hand was still holding his sleeve tightly.
He Yanchen looked at her for a long while before lowering his head and kissing the corner of her mouth:
"Jiaojiao, you must keep clinging to me like this..."
His barren heart seemed to be filled up little by little with her dependence.
As the sky gradually darkened, Ji Ming came in quietly:
"Your Majesty, today is the day to give the Saint the antidote. You must deliver it now."
He Yanchen half leaned against the headboard, holding a book in one hand and gently stroking the shoulder of the woman in his arms with the other. He said nonchalantly, "No hurry."
"I'll give it to you tomorrow."
Ji Ming was stunned. The medicine would not kill him immediately, but if he took it too late, he would suffer from excruciating pain.
Your Majesty is annoyed that the Saint is meddling in your affairs today.
Ji Ming felt that she deserved it.
The people in the imperial court are all shrewd people. Just look at Concubine Yu, who pours medicine in the yard openly every day? Who doesn't know that?
His Majesty is happy to play with her, but there are some ignorant people who want to cause trouble.
