Lin Su refused to have his pulse taken by several imperial physicians, which put the entire Imperial Hospital in a very difficult position. When Xiao Tang arrived, he saw more than a dozen imperial physicians guarding the door, while elite soldiers were guarding the door of Lin Su's hospital, refusing to let them in.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived." The eunuch shouted and the imperial doctors saluted.
Xiao Tang gathered his cloak and coughed lightly, "No need to be so polite, everyone. What happened? Why are all the doctors standing here?"
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty sent us here to diagnose His Majesty, but He has refused to see us. We cannot explain to His Majesty how he refuses to see a doctor." The head of the Imperial Hospital said, "I hope Your Majesty can offer some advice."
Xiao Tang had been ill for many years and was very familiar with the people in the Imperial Hospital. He was also known for his kindness. "I came here to visit you. You can give it a try. If the prince doesn't agree, please don't be offended."
"It's great that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is willing to help." The imperial doctors saluted.
When Xiao Tang arrived, someone informed him. When he arrived at the door, the elite soldiers immediately made way for him. Someone opened the door from the middle. He was helped up the steps by the eunuchs. When he entered, the eunuchs were stopped by the elite soldiers: "The prince has ordered that only His Royal Highness can enter. No one else will be seen."
"This..." The eunuch looked at the person blocking the road and said, "We are following the Crown Prince. How can we let His Royal Highness be alone? If..."
"That's fine." Xiao Tang raised his hand to stop him. "The prince must be hiding something. You just wait outside."
He stepped into the room, the door closed behind him, the room was blocked by a screen and the bed curtains were hanging, it was so stuffy, didn't he feel uncomfortable?
Xiao Tang walked around the screen and lifted the tightly covered bed curtains. He thought he would see someone, but he never expected that when he turned his sight, he would lie firmly on the bed. Lin Su was propped up above him, tickled his nose and said, "I knew you would come."
"Are you okay?" Xiao Tang raised his eyes to examine his face. This man did not look sick at all, and was clearly in good health.
"Of course I'm fine." Lin Su looked at him with a smile, "But you're wearing a little too thin."
"Wearing too much makes you look bulky. A sick person naturally can't let others feel healthy." Xiao Tang supported his chest and said, "Get up quickly. How can you behave like this?"
"No, I've been sick for two or three days. You just came today. I missed you so much. Hold me for a while." Lin Su lowered his head and tightened his arms. Xiao Tang subconsciously turned his head, but his breath hit his ear.
Xiao Tang told himself that he couldn't always let himself be led by his father, but when he said that, he always felt a sweet aftertaste in his heart: "I can't be too close to you now. The emperor is very suspicious. If I do anything more, it may make him think too much and disrupt your plans."
"So you want to come on the first day, right?" Lin Su asked in his ear.
"You'd better get up." Xiao Tang refused.
The bed curtain fell and breathing could be heard again. Such scenes always made him feel a little panicked and his heart beat uncontrollably.
"You tell me first, right?" Lin Su asked.
Xiao Tang turned his head and said, "Yeah."
He wanted to come of course.
Lin Su chuckled softly, and when he stood up, he took him up with him. The bed curtains were pulled open, and the view suddenly became bright. Xiao Tang felt a sense of redemption, and he breathed a sigh of relief and sat on the small couch beside him before he felt at ease.
Lin Su straightened the bed curtains and sat on the other side of the small table on the couch. He said, "You look like I'm a jackal, a tiger or a leopard."
"You and I haven't decided on our status yet, and we haven't gotten married yet, so it's better to keep some distance in everything." Xiao Tang tightened his fingers in his sleeves, and there was a slight sweat on them.
He reassured his confidant because he felt he knew his limits. But when they got closer and saw his handsome face under the candlelight, and were so close to him just now, all the psychological preparations he had made collapsed completely.
"You were indeed reckless just now." Lin Su took his hand and said, "Don't be angry."
Each era is different from the other. Even in an era of advanced thinking, it is not acceptable to be frivolous without any status, let alone in this era when some women cannot even have private contact with men outside their marriage before they get married.
"I'm not angry, but you've turned away all the imperial physicians. What are your plans?" Xiao Tang didn't withdraw his hand, his cheeks flushed in the candlelight.
"If not, I won't be able to convince everyone that I am Shuang'er." Lin Su said with a smile, "Three days is enough. Let them take my pulse tomorrow."
"Can you disguise your physical condition?" Xiao Tang asked.
"Yes, you can disguise yourself temporarily with drugs." Lin Su said, "If you want, I can also make drugs for you to disguise yourself as a man."
"Then I'll trouble you. What do you want me to give you in exchange for the medicine?" Xiao Tang asked.
He hadn't given her a thank you gift for the medicine he had used to save her life. Even if they loved each other, there had to be a give-and-take relationship.
"There's no need to feel indebted to each other. Relationships aren't about me giving you something and you giving back something." Lin Su looked at him and smiled. "If Your Highness really wants to thank me, why not give me a kiss? That would make me happier than any other gift."
Xiao Tang's heart skipped a beat, and he subconsciously tried to pull his hand back, but Lin Su held it so tightly that he couldn't break free. "Is that all you think about?"
"When I saw you, I only wanted to be close to you, and nothing else." Lin Su pushed the table over and leaned closer, saying, "Just for once, it's a good deal."
"You are really shameless." Xiao Tang considered himself fearless, but he would never say such words.
His face was already close, and Xiao Tang's eyes shifted slightly: "You just said that you were Meng Lang..."
"If you don't give it to me, I will come and get it myself." Lin Su lowered his head. Xiao Tang was sweating slightly on his back. He felt a shadow falling and subconsciously closed his eyes. However, after waiting for a long time, the man did not move. He felt his waist move, and when he opened his eyes, he found that Lin Su had taken off the jade pendant on his waist.
"Why are you closing your eyes?" Lin Su pinched the jade pendant and asked knowingly.
"You!" Xiao Tang recalled his previous actions and looked at his movements again and asked, "Do you want to take the jade pendant?"
"What else do you want me to take? You gave Lin Ting'er a piece before, and I was very envious when I saw it. Naturally, I want one too. Can you give this one to me?" Lin Su asked with a smile.
"This jade pendant is just an ordinary ornament. If you want it, I can pick a better one for you. The one your sister chose was not mine." Xiao Tang felt very annoyed. This man was really good at teasing people, but he felt very sweet in his heart because of his slight jealousy. All kinds of emotions were intertwined, but it was more complicated than ever before.
"I know, if you really want to give her a gift, you should give her a sword." Lin Su said, holding the jade pendant, "No need to choose, this one is perfect."
"Well, then you can take it." Xiao Tang glanced at the jade pendant.
It was all in vain that he was so nervous, all for this jade pendant.
