Chapter 198 A Lang
"Of course." Sun Wei said, "I'm already well."
"Whether it's good or not is not up to Madam to decide," Sima Jun said. "After Madam finishes taking all the medicine, I will ask the doctor to come back and take a look."
I'm not a sickly person. Sun Wei rolled her eyes in her heart.
Sima Jun looked at her and said, "Madam, do you really hate taking medicine?"
Sun Wei said, "I grew up in the remote Cangwu area, and my family was poor. Unlike the prince, when I encounter bitter medicine, I can get malt sugar whenever I want."
Sima Jun raised his eyebrows slightly.
"How did you know, Madam? When I was a child, I needed to eat malt sugar when I took medicine?"
Sun Wei's heart skipped a beat, realizing that he had spoken out of turn.
Sima Jun told her this in her previous life.
Once, Sima Jun fell ill, and the doctor prescribed him medicine. Sun Wei knew from the smell that the medicine was extremely bitter and unpalatable. She sent for candied fruit, but Sima Jun said it was unnecessary. Then, without even a frown, he simply drank it.
It was also at that time that Sima Jun told her that when he was a child, he also didn't like taking medicine, but he liked eating malt sugar. So whenever he was sick, the adults would always use malt sugar to coax him into taking medicine.
——Then, why doesn’t Your Highness eat malt sugar when taking medicine now?
At that time, Sun Wei asked.
She remembered Sima Jun's expression, somewhat self-deprecating. He said, "After enduring enough other bitter things, the bitterness of medicine becomes nothing."
"I know this without even thinking about it." Sun Wei suppressed the recollections that were flooding her mind and said, "What child doesn't like sweets? The Crown Prince is a descendant of the royal family. Sweet things like this are naturally available whenever he wants them."
"Sweet things, there are also candied fruits, honey candy, and so on, there are many kinds." Sima Jun still insisted, "Madam, you only want malt sugar."
This stubborn donkey is here again.
Sun Wei could only say, "I was just saying it casually, and happened to mention malt sugar. I didn't know that the prince had such a hobby when he was young."
After saying that, she immediately changed the subject: "These days, has the prince been taking care of me personally?"
Sima Jun looked at her and said calmly, "I was the one who brought Madam to Guangzhou. Madam is ill, so I take responsibility. If A'ru were here, I wouldn't have anything to worry about. But these maids in the house are all strangers, and I don't know their details. I think it's better to be cautious. Besides, I haven't done anything myself, but I'll just watch from the side, so it won't be a big deal."
Sun Wei glanced at the couch not far away and thought that if he just watched there, it would not be a big deal.
"I see, Your Highness, you've worked hard." Sun Wei said, "I'm fine now, Your Highness, you don't have to worry about it anymore."
Sima Jun looked at her, and after a while, he responded.
He stood up and suddenly turned around and said, "I'm in the outer courtyard. If there's anything wrong, Madam, there are servants outside the door. Ask them to pass on the message."
Sun Wei nodded: "I understand, thank you, Prince."
After watching Sima Jun leave and closing the door, Sun Wei lay back on the bed and let out a long sigh.
Then, her eyes fell on the couch again.
When he was ill and in a coma, Sima Jun was there guarding him.
There was a soft feeling in my heart, but it was also a little complicated.
In their previous life, although they were husband and wife, they had spent very little time together. Even in this life, although they had only been together for a year, Sun Wei felt that it was already much more time than in their previous life.
For example, in her previous life, she had never received the kind of care from Sima Jun, because every time she fell ill, he was not there.
Sun Wei couldn't help but raise his hand and stroke his forehead, remembering the coolness on it when he was in agony.
Sun Wei didn't know what Sima Jun's intention was in treating him like this, and he always avoided thinking about it.
But what about yourself?
Don't let your resolve waver.
The voice in my heart warned me again.
He said, you are a family. Now that you are away from home, if your family members are sick, you take care of each other. What's so strange about that?
That's it.
He also said that he was just watching from the side. The people who took care of him during his illness might be those maids.
Sun Wei closed her eyes and forced herself to sleep.
——
In the next few days, Sun Wei recovered quickly.
Sima Jun would come to visit her and have meals with her whenever he had free time.
Sun Wei knew that he had not been idle these days, because the maids said that he often went to the city market and always came back with large and small bags of things.
"This Ah Lang is from out of town after all," a maid said with a smile. "He bought a lot of things at a lot more expensive. After listening to us, he asked us where to buy the best goods. He's really a businessman."
Sun Wei also smiled.
Sima Jun once said that when you arrive in an unfamiliar place, the best way to understand local customs and people is to go to the market. Look at the products, ask the prices, and chat with the locals, and you will learn a lot.
He is really a person who can't sit still.
"I haven't seen General Xie for several days. Why don't you invite him to have dinner with you?" Sun Wei asked during dinner that day.
"He has not been at home these days. I have given him some instructions to do."
"What is it?"
"Hazard Zhu A Shen's stronghold."
Sun Wei became interested: "Oh? What's the explanation?"
"I'm just forcing Zhu Ah Shen's mastermind to take action," Sima Jun said. "I spread the news of the bandit suppression early on, so they must be on high alert. If I frequently harass them with small groups of troops without actually engaging them in battle, they'll have to worry every day, which will surely be extremely annoying."
Sun Wei thought about it and understood.
"They are in the open, while the prince is in the dark. If they continue to tangle like this, they will eventually become unable to bear it and will definitely take action. Either force the prince to suppress the bandits immediately, or force him to leave."
"good."
"What are your plans after this, Prince?"
"In any case, let's hold off for a while. The war in the Three Wus is over, and Zhuo Jing has already led his troops south."
Sun Wei understood and smiled.
"I was saying that the Crown Prince wouldn't dare to enter Guangzhou with only three hundred soldiers."
Sima Jun looked at her and said, "Madam, if you have any doubts, why don't you ask?"
"When it comes to military strategy, the Crown Prince is far superior to me, so why should I worry?" Sun Wei said, "But if the Crown Prince wants to drag it out, they may not agree."
"Just counter each move," Sima Jun said. "Wait two more days. Their lobbyists will be here soon."
——
This time, Sima Jun's prediction was very accurate.
The next day, Sun Wei heard that there were guests at the house.
Sima Jun probably knew that he couldn't hide it from Sun Wei, so he tactfully asked Yin Wen to report: "It's Liu Ke, the governor of Guangzhou, who is visiting."
Sun Wei was not surprised to hear the news.
Although Sima Jun did not reveal his identity to the public, the local prefect had already received the news. He also did not deliberately conceal the fact that he had come to Guangzhou. As the governor of Guangzhou, Liu Ke would naturally know about it soon.
At this moment, it is reasonable for Liu Ke to come and pay a visit in person.
"Where did the prince meet Governor Liu?" Sun Wei asked.
"As soon as Governor Liu entered the city, the Crown Prince sent me to deliver a message to the Princess. He said he had already set up a table behind the screen in the reception hall."
Sun Wei understood. This meant she was allowed to sit in on the class.
Since Sima Jun said so, she had no reason to be polite.
