Chapter 494 The Pill That Isn’t Bitter



Ever since the queen was injured, Yaoyao and Tian An have been guarding her in this small place.

Especially Tian An, he has never stepped out of Kunning Palace since he entered the palace.

At first, it was to take care of the queen, but as the queen's health gradually improved, Tian An also began to have free time, and slowly his days in the palace began to become boring.

The queen's health recovered quickly. Now she can wake up every morning and evening to talk with Yaoyao and Tian An for an hour or two. At Tian An's request, she has started to get out of bed and walk slowly.

After walking around the palace for a while with the help of palace servants, the queen had a thin layer of sweat on her forehead.

After returning to the bed, the queen smiled and said to Yaoyao, "You used to love running around outside, but you must have been bored here these past few days! Now that I'm fine, you should go out and get some fresh air!"

Yaoyao was a little tempted. She was a very active and playful person. These days, because she was worried about the Queen, she had been accompanying Tian An all day long. She didn't think much of it in the past, but when the Queen mentioned it today, she immediately felt itchy.

But after looking at the queen's abdomen, she shook her head and said, "Yaoyao won't go. Yaoyao wants to stay here with her mother. When she fully recovers, we will go together."

The Queen patted her little hands with satisfaction, "It is enough for Mother to have your heart."

Then he looked at Tian An and said, "It's a pity that your sister An An hasn't even left the Kunning Palace since she entered the palace.

Can you bear to see her stay in this small palace until she leaves?"

"Is Sister An An going to leave the palace?" Yaoyao looked at Tian An in surprise.

Tian An was also stunned, and then she thought that it was already the end of the year and the New Year would be here soon, and the queen's health no longer needed her, so she should indeed leave the palace soon.

Nodding slightly at Yaoyao, Tian An said, "The New Year is coming soon. I have to go back to spend the New Year with my father and Xiaokang. Besides, I've been away for a long time this time. If I don't go back, they'll be worried."

Hearing that Tian An was leaving, Yaoyao felt a little disappointed. "Sister An An is gone. We won't see each other for a long time."

Although there are many people in the palace, no matter they are adults or children, they all have their own secrets and thoughts, and it is difficult to find someone who can tell the truth.

Although Yaoyao seemed to be smiling all day and looked happy, only she herself knew that she was not as happy as she appeared.

But she was truly happy when she was with Tian An. Whether it was two years ago when she was lost and abducted by human traffickers and rescued by Tian An and his companions, or now when Tian An entered the palace, that feeling remained unchanged.

No one knows a daughter better than her mother. The Queen naturally understood her daughter's thoughts. She took Tian An's hand, and then folded Yaoyao's hand with hers and held them together. "Go ahead. Qingyi came back yesterday and said that the plum blossoms in the Imperial Garden are in full bloom. Your sister An An rarely comes to the palace. Take her to the Imperial Garden for a stroll."

"But..." Yaoyao was a little hesitant. Although she also wanted to take Tian An out to play, she was still worried about the queen.

The Queen pushed their hands away and said, "Go! Queen Mother is tired and needs a rest. You used to chatter so much that you couldn't rest well."

"Mother, you actually despise me." Yaoyao protested with her cheeks puffed out, like a little goldfish, making everyone laugh.

The Queen's personal maid Qingyi assured her, "Princess, don't worry and take Xiangjun out to play! Your Majesty, I'll be watching over you and I guarantee nothing will happen."

"Then you take good care of our mother. I'll be out for a while and back soon." Yaoyao said worriedly as she pulled Tian An out of the hall.

Tian An saw her worried look and hesitated before saying, "How about we not go there and just stay here to guard the Queen!"

Yaoyao paused, shook her head and said, "No, Sister An An rarely comes to the palace, I can't treat you badly. Otherwise, Brother Xiaokang will be angry with me in the future."

Tian An glanced at her and said, "Speaking of which, Yaoyao, you are a princess, why are you so afraid of that brat Xiaokang?"

Yaoyao paused, a blush spreading across her face as she said stubbornly, "No way."

Then, without waiting for Tian An to say anything, he pulled her and ran along the palace road, "Sister An An, let's go to the Imperial Garden quickly!"

Tian An staggered when she pulled her, but fortunately Deng Xue, who was following her, helped her up and prevented her from falling.

Seeing that Tian An almost fell down because of her pulling, Yaoyao didn't dare to run away. After apologizing to Tian An, the two of them slowly walked towards the imperial garden with a group of palace servants.

When they arrived at the Imperial Garden, Yaoyao pulled Tian An straight to the plum garden. In fact, all the flowers had withered in this winter, and apart from the plum blossoms competing for beauty, there was really nothing else to see.

In the plum garden, white snow still hangs on the branches of the plum trees, but it cannot stop the plum blossoms of various colors from emerging from the snow and blooming in competition. It is truly a beautiful sight in winter.

Looking at the colorful plum blossoms in full bloom makes people feel much better.

But the snow in the plum garden is too thick, so you need to be careful, otherwise you will accidentally

"ah……"

Just like Tian An, he fell on his butt.

"Sister An An..."

"Miss……"

Tian An relied on the two men's help to stand up from the snow.

"It's okay, I just slipped. The snow is thick and it's soft when I fell. It doesn't hurt."

"Really?"

When the playful Yaoyao heard Tian An say it didn't hurt, she leaned back and fell into the snow, creating a huge human-shaped hole.

Tian An: “…”

"It really doesn't hurt! Sister An An, it's so fun!" Yaoyao is really fun. Not only does she lie directly in the snow, she also rolls on it for a few rounds.

The frightened palace maids hurried over to pull her up. Tian An also hurried to stop her, patting the snow off her body while nagging: "My dear Yaoyao! Even if it doesn't hurt, you can't play like this! The snow is so cold, what if you get sick?"

Yaoyao, however, was not worried at all, "As long as Sister An An is here, I'm not afraid!"

Seeing that she was still smiling playfully, Tian An said unhappily, "If you are sick, I will add more coptis root to your medicine."

"Sister An An, I was wrong." When Yaoyao heard Tian An mention Coptis chinensis, she was so scared that she immediately admitted her mistake.

Pulling Tian An, she acted pitifully and coquettishly, "Sister An An, Brother Xiaokang said you have a pill that's not bitter. If Yaoyao is really sick, can you give it to Yaoyao?"

Tian An turned his head away and refused, "No, you knew it was cold and you still wanted to lie down. I will punish you by making you drink bitter medicine."

"Ah...Sister An An, I know I'm wrong!"

Tian An teased Yaoyao a bit, but fearing she might actually be sick, he gave her a pill. "It's cold, so take a pill as a precaution to avoid the suffering if you actually get sick."

Yaoyao took the pill without saying a word and swallowed it, then said in surprise: "Sister An An, this pill is so small, it's really not bitter!"
