Chapter 066 Jin丨Exclusive release by Jiang Wenxue
Zhui Ming had a direction for the investigation and was busy arguing with Fu Zongshu, so he gave Pei Rui a few days off to make up for the days off he missed.
Pei Rui had been running around outside for several days, and killing people had consumed a lot of energy. He really needed a rest. Xue Chen focused his main energy on Liu Yixuan. Pei Rui and his original body slept and ate, keeping a low profile. Xue Chen
pretended to be sick very well, and put aside the chores in the mansion, even skipping the walk in the garden.
He lay on the Luohan couch covered with a thin blanket, his brows slightly frowned, his breathing was shallow, and he looked like he was not sleeping well.
King Taiping walked in from outside with light footsteps.
Xiao He, who was massaging Xue Chen's forehead, quickly stood up and saluted.
Prince Taiping waved his hand and whispered, "Don't disturb Chen'er's rest."
Xiaohe nodded, quietly stood up, and moved a stool over: "Please sit down, Your Majesty."
Prince Taiping looked at his son for a while: "Why is Chen'er so pale? Is he in great pain? Has he used medicine?"
System: [Hasn't your face always been like this?]
Xue Chen: [My father is smart at other times, but he is a fool in front of his son.]
System: [Are you still pretending to sleep?]
Xue Chen: [I am pretending to be sick to test my brother's reaction, not to deceive my father. I have to find a way to comfort him after I open my eyes. I don't like that atmosphere, so forget it. 】
Xiao He whispered, "Your Highness, the young master refused to take the medicine. He only took some medicated oil from the housekeeper for massage. He probably fell asleep just now because the medicine took effect."
"This child has lost his mother, and I am often not at home. There is no one who cares about him. He has been weak since he was a child. He gets sick every time the season changes. It has been cold at night recently. Remember to put on more clothes in the evening and change the quilt when sleeping at night. Chen'er thinks thick clothes are bloated and doesn't like to put on more clothes. You have to take care of him. You can't give in to him on these things."
Xue Chen seemed to be thinking about something.
Xiao He: "Yes."
King Taiping came over, lifted the thin quilt covering Xue Chen's chest, turned to Xiao He and said, "You go and boil the medicine."
Xiao He responded softly and stepped back.
System: [What can I do? ]
Xue Chen: [What else can I do? Just drink it. Anyway, the imperial physician did not find the cause of the disease when he prescribed the medicine. These medicines are mild and nourishing. There is no problem except that they taste bad. 】
The system said sympathetically: 【You have a hard time. Xie Heng drank the medicine for a long time. The main body also had to drink it. Xiao Liu had a harder time. First, he drank water and then chewed it dry. Only the cotton taste was left. 】
Xue Chen didn't care: 【It's okay. I will blame my brother. When he comes back, I will persecute him. Anyway, I can't wrong him. 】
System: 【...Pray for him. 】
Xiao He boiled the medicine and brought it to Xue Chen. King Taiping winked at her, pushed Xue Chen's arm, and called him softly: "Chen'er, Chen'er wake up, get up and drink the medicine."
Xue Chen opened his eyes reluctantly and complained to the system: 【Shouldn't I drink it after a meal? 】
System: [It's already this late, and you're still thinking about eating? 】
Xue Chen: [My stomach is very small. I just ate mooncakes. How can I eat after taking the medicine? It's too unreasonable. Can't you simmer it for a while longer to collect the juice? Such a big bowl really affects my appetite. 】
He blinked and pretended not to have come to his senses: "Dad..."
Seeing his son so well-behaved, King Taiping thought of how the princess stayed by his side when he was sick as a child. Now the beauty has passed away for many years, leaving only the father and son to depend on each other, and he couldn't help feeling sad.
"Is your headache better, Chen'er?" said the King of Taiping. "Xiao He has prepared some medicine. Get up and drink it before going to sleep."
Xue Chen smiled and slowly sat up: "I made you worry again."
The King of Taiping touched his head: "What are you talking about? You are my son. As a father, how can I not miss my son? Come, let me feed you. Be careful of the burn."
Xue Chen didn't want him to feed him, so he took the medicine bowl from Xiao He: "Don't bother me, I can do it myself."
The King of Taiping said disappointedly: "You have been like this since you were a child. Allow your brother to feed you, and always refuse to get close to dad."
The medicine was very hot, Xue Chen stirred it gently with a spoon, and heard what King Taiping said, and said helplessly: "My brother is still young, and he hasn't been sick many times, so he doesn't know that this medicine tastes bitter, and it's best to drink it all at once. It's okay for him to torture me spoon by spoon, but why do you want to do this?"
King Taiping finally figured out the reason, and said apologetically: "Dad forgot that you have been spoiled since you were a child and can't stand hardship."
Xue Chen originally lowered his head to stir the medicine juice, and he looked up at him when he heard it.
Xue Chen: [Damn, what filter! Am I spoiled?]
System: [Not spoiled at all, you are a tough guy.]
Xue Chen: [……]
King Taiping felt distressed when he thought about it. Someone who is so afraid of hardship started drinking medicine just a few months after birth. Sometimes he caught a cold and had a severe cough. He had to drink medicine for at least half a month to recover. He almost grew up drinking medicine.
The King of Taiping said lovingly, "Since you don't like being fed medicine, why do you have to indulge your brother? As long as you ask, he will never force you. He will definitely put you first in everything."
Xue Chen answered seriously, "I like to be close to my brother, how can I bear to reject him."
System: [Really?]
Xue Chen: [Acting, this is my character setting.]
System: [……]
The King of Taiping knew that the two brothers had a good relationship, and it was confirmed at this time, so he was not surprised at all.
He asked expectantly, "What about Daddy?"
Xue Chen blinked and said with embarrassment, "I also want to be close to Daddy, but the medicine is too bitter."
The King of Taiping pretended to be unhappy, looked at him for a moment, and couldn't help laughing.
Xue Chen tested the temperature of the medicine and thought it was about right, so he drank the medicine in the bowl in one gulp.
Xiao He was quick to take the empty bowl and handed over a cup of warm water. Xue Chen rinsed his mouth, leaned back on the couch, closed his eyes, and pretended to be uncomfortable.
Although the status of the King of Taiping was second only to that of the emperor, and he could get all the rare treasures in the world with just a word from him, he had no way to cure his son's illness.
Xue Chen slowed down and opened his eyes: "This medicine is too hard to drink."
Prince Taiping said, "Although the imperial physicians in the palace are orthodox, they are very conventional and cannot cure difficult and complicated diseases. I want to recruit talents and seek out famous doctors from all over the world to come to my house for consultation. Perhaps there is a capable person who can cure you."
Xue Chen lowered his eyes: "Who will take care of this matter?"
Prince Taiping was busy with affairs and spent less time at home than in the army. He was just thinking of handing it over to the housekeeper, but suddenly remembered that although the housekeeper was in charge of the affairs of the house, it would eventually have to be handed over to Xue Chen.
His eldest son was sick, and he didn't think about letting him recover, but instead found things for him to do. It was really unreasonable.
Prince Taiping thought for a moment and said, "Let's leave it to Lian'er. This kid is used to being wild outside. Even I don't know what he is busy with. He is always away from home. He doesn't even come back when his brother is sick. Let him stay at home to accompany you more."
Xue Chen still lowered his head and couldn't see his expression clearly.
He was chatting with the system: [See, a simple sentence directly brought my brother back! ]
When Prince Taiping said he was recruiting famous doctors, whether he refused or agreed, the result would not be of any substantial benefit to him. It's better to take this opportunity to test what his stupid brother is doing outside.
Sure enough, Gong Jiu didn't work for Prince Taiping, and was called back by his father directly.
System: [So that's the case. I said that you always dislike this kind of sad atmosphere. Why are you suddenly disappointed this time? It turns out that you are playing tricks again. Xue Chen: This
is called "four ounces to move a thousand pounds."
When King Taiping saw him like this, he couldn't help but feel a little worried.
This child has been weak since he was young, and he rarely leaves the palace. Except for the trip to Jiangxi a few days ago, he has never left the capital.
Lian'er is the same age as him. He started to wander around a few years ago and saw the beautiful rivers and mountains outside, but he was imprisoned in a small palace. He often had to take medicine and was extra careful even about his diet.
They are obviously twins, but because of their different physiques, they have completely different situations. Even though Chen'er is not a narrow-minded person, he can't help but feel depressed.
Prince Taiping held his hand: "Chen'er..."
Xue Chen came back to his senses: "Dad, what's wrong?"
Prince Taiping comforted him: "You don't have any serious illness. As long as you take good care of yourself and pay more attention to it, there will be no big problem. When you are well, let your brother accompany you to go out and have a look."
Xue Chen imagined that his stupid brother had been sick all the way, and he couldn't sleep well all the way. He had to pretend that he didn't know. He couldn't sleep all night and was tired during the day.
Xue Chen: [This is too vicious.]
System: [? ? ?]
-
Prince Taiping's letter was sent out, and it would take a few days to reach the hands of the vicious brother.
Liu Yixuan had taken medicine for several days in a row. This morning, he came to Bao Xiruo's hut with food and suddenly lost the connection.
Because the other vests were conscious and had not lost their sense of time, Xue Chen knew clearly that Liu Yixuan had been unconscious for only five breaths.
When he regained his senses, he found that there was rice porridge and buns scattered all around him, and he was lying in Bao Xiruo's arms.
Bao Xiruo was so anxious that she was about to cry. Seeing Liu Yixuan wake up, she asked with concern: "Xiao Liu, you just fainted. How do you feel now? Are you uncomfortable?"
Liu Yixuan shook her head and reached out to wipe her tears.
Bao Xiruo: "I'll ask someone to call the doctor. The doctor will be here soon. Just bear with it."
Liu Yixuan smiled at her. Wanyan Honglie came in from outside and saw the chaotic scene in the house. He
