Chapter 229: Waiting closely

In the dream, Jiang Jiu seemed to have returned to his childhood, when the two little girls grew up together.

The two of them ate together and learned to write together.

When Jiang Jiu looked clearly at the person opposite him, he found that it was Jiang Mingyue.

How could she grow up with Jiang Mingyue?

Just when she was wondering, she turned her head and saw two people taking care of her, one was Nanny Qian and the other was actually the little girl Xia Zhi.

How come they appeared in her dreams?

Jiang Jiu had this dream for a very long time. When she woke up again, she saw Zhao Zhuoxi sitting beside her bed, dozing off with his head in his hand.

His beard was untidy, and Jiang Jiu had never seen him look so ferocious.

She placed her small hand on his chin, stroking his tangled beard, and then touched his face, feeling an indescribable emotion in her heart.

"You're awake, feeling better?"

Zhao Zhuoxi held her little hand, and Danfeng's eyes were full of bloodshot.

Jiang Jiu nodded: "Not bad, why are you here? Why do you look so haggard?"

Hearing the noise, Yunshu came in with a bowl of medicine.

"Princess, you finally woke up. You have been unconscious for five days. His Majesty came the day before yesterday and has been taking care of you all the time, doing everything for you personally."

The weather was hot, and Jiang Jiu struggled to sit up from the bed, only to find that he was weak and dizzy.

"I'm so hungry! Why did I faint? There are still five days left..."

Taohua was so anxious that she started crying.

"We servants don't know either. The princess was clearly sleeping. The next day, she said she was leaving, but no matter how we called her, she didn't wake up."

Jiang Jiu sighed faintly: "I had a very strange dream..."

The dream was so long that she felt it was her own experience.

But dreams are just dreams after all. Once you wake up, you’ll have forgotten most of them.

Zhao Zhuoxi took the medicine from Yun Shu: "Come, I'll feed you..."

Jiang Jiu suddenly covered his nose: "Zhao Zhuoxi, the weather is hot, you should go take a shower..."

His body was smelling bad, and he didn't know if it was because he was anxious and angry, but there was also a smell in his mouth, which made Jiang Jiu feel very disgusted.

Zhao Zhuoxi's face darkened: "Drink the medicine first."

Jiang Jiu didn't let him feed him. He picked up the bowl and drank the medicine in one breath.

Jiang Jiu also raised his arms and smelled them, and found that he also had a smell on his body.

"Taohua, prepare some water. I want to take a bath."

Jiang Jiu's illness came and went quickly. After waking up, taking a shower, and eating, he was fine again and full of energy.

Zhao Zhuoxi also tidied himself up, but he looked exhausted.

"Princess, His Majesty really loves you. You don't know. I heard from Lu Ming that when His Majesty learned that the princess had fainted, he rode as fast as he could without stopping for a moment and rushed here from Qiantang."

"After he arrived, he stayed by the princess's side without taking off his clothes until she woke up."

Jiang Jiu understood. No wonder he smelled so bad. It turned out that he hadn't taken a shower since he came from the road.

Well, that's not the point.

Zhao Zhuoxi stayed by her side all the time and took care of her personally for three days and three nights. For a king of a country, it was already very good that he could do this.

"He's so nice to me, I'm almost moved."

Taohua's eyes widened in disbelief: "How can the princess not be moved? If there is a man who treats me like this, I will definitely marry him and treat him well for the rest of my life."

"There are not many good men. The man who is good to the princess is none other than Your Majesty. I don't understand what else the princess is dissatisfied with?"

Jiang Jiu couldn't stand Zhao Zhuoxi's coldness, and his face turned red.

Such men are rare.

But this kind of man doesn't like her...

Jiang Jiu was very clear in her heart that even if she was lying to herself, she felt that she could not lie to others, as Zhao Zhuoxi always saw others through her.

She is being pampered as someone else's substitute, not herself.

After Zhao Zhuoxi washed and tidied himself up, he was still the handsome man.

The next day, after both of them had rested, Zhao Zhuoxi suddenly asked someone to prepare food and planned to go hiking in the nearby temple.

Jiang Jiu was very happy: "Mountain climbing is great, the scenery is beautiful, let's stay in the temple for two days and pray for blessings."

Not many people were brought along. Jiang Jiu brought Taohua, and Zhao Zhuoxi brought Lu Ming.

The others stayed in the inn to rest.

After getting on the carriage, Jiang Jiu looked at Zhao Zhuoxi and suddenly remembered what he had dreamed about.

"I married you in my dream, but your name was not Zhao Zhuoxi, but Lu Yunyang. You were a dandy boy with eight concubines, all of whom were as beautiful as flowers."

Zhao Zhuoxi looked at Jiang Jiu deeply with deep eyes.

"It's just a dream. If you think about something at night, you will dream about it during the day. You must be thinking about me."

Jiang Jiu chuckled: "Maybe. A few days ago, I met two people, one named Jiang Mingyue and the other named Xia Zhi. I also dreamed about these two unrelated people. Don't you think it's weird?"

Zhao Zhuoxi raised his hand and rubbed Jiang Jiu's head.

"Don't think about it, they are two unrelated people."

Jiang Jiu sighed faintly: "You don't know, when I met that woman named Jiang Mingyue, she was being beaten by her man."

"I was very angry and really wanted to beat up that man for her. It was nothing for a man to beat up a woman. Until I met Xia Zhi, I realized that everything was arranged by her."

Zhao Zhuoxi did not interrupt Jiang Jiu. He looked at her tenderly and listened to her story.

Jiang Jiu continued, "Xia Zhi said that her master was harmed by Jiang Mingyue. Her master was the daughter of a noble family in the capital. After falling into poverty, she lived in her home for more than ten years. Later, she pretended to be her master and went to the capital to look for her father."

"Fortunately, her master married a good family and exposed her fake identity. Then she returned home in disgrace. Later, she met Xia Zhi, who was unwilling to accept her fate and designed her to marry a wicked man, the man who beat him."

Zhao Zhuoxi listened to the comments and said: "You will suffer the consequences if you bring trouble upon yourself."

Jiang Jiu added: "Anything in the world

Everything has its cause and effect. Zhao Zhuoxi, there is no reason for you to like me. Besides, it’s not me you like… Who do you see through me?”

Zhao Zhuoxi understood that Jiang Jiu was still as smart and sharp as before.

If I don't give her a reason, I'm afraid she will never fall in love with him in this life.

Everything in the world has cause and effect, but he didn't want her to know, because he wanted to be with her forever, to grow old with her, not just for a few years.

How boring the rest of my life would be without her.

"You are you, who else could it be? Duke Zhen gave you to me before he died, so I have to be responsible for you."

Jiang Jiu sneered: "Just simple responsibility? A marriage without love is like a stagnant pool of water. Even if I become the queen with you, I will not be happy."

"Besides, I don't care about your queen. I want to be the empress."

Zhao Zhuoxi chuckled and said, "Okay, you be the empress, and I'll be your queen."

Facing Zhao Zhuoxi's softness, Jiang Jiu felt powerless, as if a fist hit cotton.

"Hmph, very boring."

Since he didn't want to say, she didn't want to ask.

Since I can't give her the love she wants, she should never get married in this life.
