Two years later, Doctor Wu, whom Jiang Wuque had been looking for for many years, came to the palace, not to treat the princess's leg, but to treat the emperor's serious illness.
Doctor Wu went straight to the palace after arriving in Beijing and was not able to come out until half a month later.
The Emperor's condition is now hopeless.
When Jiang Kunjun learned that she was beyond help, she became a little crazy. Jiang Wuque was afraid that she would make things difficult for Doctor Wu, so he sent her to the Wei Mansion.
When A'ruan was led out of the house by Wei Min, her palms were sweaty and she was so nervous that she held her breath.
Doctor Wu was fiddling with her medicine box. When she saw the two people coming, she said bluntly, "I'm not completely sure. I can only say give it a try."
Even the word "try" was something that Aruan had never dared to think about before.
A Ruan held Wei Min's hand all the time and did not let go even after sitting down.
Doctor Wu washed his hands in a basin brought by his servant, then raised his hand to take the patient's pulse.
After a cup of tea, Doctor Wu slowly withdrew his hand, looked up at Wei Min who was standing beside A'ruan, and said, "If it's not congenital, it's not serious. But it's not that easy to cure. If you want to speak, I'm afraid you'll have to suffer."
Wei Min frowned slightly, and just when he was about to ask what kind of suffering one had, A Ruan pinched his palm.
A Ruan held Wei Min's hands with both of hers, her eyes were particularly bright because of excitement, and she pursed her lips and nodded at her.
Although Ah Ruan did not raise his hand to gesture, four words were clearly written on his face:
——I want to try it.
Wei Min lowered his eyes to look at him, and when he met A Ruan's pleading eyes, he immediately lost his temper, "Okay, let's try it."
When Doctor Wu said that we should endure hardships, he was not just trying to scare Ah Ruan.
Acupuncture once a day and three bowls of bitter medicine.
The two children are now three years old. When they come to pay their respects every day, they can always see A Ruan taking medicine.
Even the usually noisy Wei Shu felt something was wrong, and quietly pulled Wei Min's sleeve, looking up and asking worriedly, "Is Daddy sick?"
Wei Min shook his head, signaling her not to worry, "Daddy is treating his throat."
Wei Miao stood on tiptoe, secretly put a finger into the medicine bowl on the table, dipped it in the medicine juice, stuffed it into his mouth, smacked his lips and took a sip. His little face wrinkled instantly, "Bitter!"
A Ruan smiled and touched his forehead, asking Erjiu to bring him some water to rinse his mouth.
——Little greedy cat, why do you want to try everything?
When A'ruan was drinking the medicine, the two children looked up at him. Seeing that he drank a large bowl of it, they all took a small breath, as if they were the ones drinking the medicine and their tongues hurt from the bitterness.
Wei Miao lowered his head and took out a sweet candy sprinkled with icing sugar from the fist-sized cloth bag on his back. He stood on tiptoe and handed it to Ah Ruan's mouth, saying in a childish voice, "It's sweet. It won't be bitter after you eat it."
The bag he was wearing was specially sewn by A Ruan, and it contained snacks for the day.
A Ruan's mouth was full of bitterness, but after he put the candied fruit in his mouth, he felt it was all worth it.
Wei Min sat silently aside, looking at the three people without saying a word.
When Wei Shu saw Wei Miao take out candied fruit from his pocket, he immediately became interested. He quietly moved around to his side and reached into his bag.
When Wei Miao felt something was wrong, Wei Shu had already succeeded and stuffed the candied fruit into his mouth with a smile.
Wei Miao stamped his feet in anger, puffed up his cheeks and glared at her. Wei Shu made a face at him, turned around and ran out, shouting, "Miao Miao, come and chase me."
After the two children ran out fighting, Ah Ruan looked at Wei Min with a smile and spat out the candied fruit seeds in his mouth to indicate that they were not bitter.
Wei Min naturally didn't believe him, but he didn't expose him.
For A Ruan, taking medicine is okay, but acupuncture is really painful.
Doctor Wu said that acupuncture is helpful in unblocking the meridians. It is a little painful, but the effect is good.
It is just the beginning of summer, but after acupuncture, A Ruan was covered in sweat and looked pale.
When A'ruan was receiving acupuncture, Wei Min stood by her side. He saw A'ruan gritting her teeth in pain, her fingers clenched, and veins exposed on the back of her hands. She felt as if the needles were piercing her heart, causing her to feel suffocated by the pain.
Wei Min used to only think about what happened after A Ruan’s throat was cured, but ignored the pain during the treatment. She thought she was just taking some medicine, but she never expected to suffer such a great suffering.
A'ruan felt physical pain, while Wei Min felt heartache. After such an acupuncture treatment, it is hard to tell who is suffering.
A Ruan was afraid that she would scare the two children when doing acupuncture, so she usually asked someone to take them out to play.
I don't know what happened today, but when Wei Miao was playing hide-and-seek with Wei Shu, he just barged into the house and saw A Ruan who was stabbed like a hedgehog. He was stunned for a moment.
There were silver needles as thin as hair stuck on Aruan's head and neck. They were so densely packed that they looked scary.
Wei Miao's eyes instantly filled with tears, and he stood there crying in fear, crying and saying, "Daddy hurts, Daddy hurts."
Wei Shu, who was hiding in the rockery outside, heard the crying and immediately ran out, shouting, "Miaomiao?"
When Wei Shu ran over, Wei Min had already picked up the crying Wei Miao, patted his back and said softly, "Miao Miao, don't be afraid. Daddy is fine. Don't be afraid."
Wei Shu stopped at the door, saw A'ruan, his eyes reddened, and he walked in hesitantly. She didn't dare to go to A'ruan. She saw Wei Min running towards her in a hurry. His little hands tightly grasped her clothes. He looked up and asked, "Daddy, what's wrong?"
A Ruan couldn't move. Seeing that she had scared the two children, her eyes turned red. She tried hard to smile at them, indicating that she was fine.
Wei Miao was frightened. He put his arms around Wei Min's neck, his shoulders shaking, and he repeated those three words in a crying voice: "Daddy, it hurts."
Wei Min raised his hand and took Wei Shu's hand, leading the two children out. He walked to the yard, found a stone table to sit at, and patiently explained to them what happened to their father.
Wei Miao's mouth was flat, his hands were clenched together, and he sobbed and said to Wei Min: "I don't want Daddy to be in pain."
Wei Min raised his hand to wipe Wei Miao's tears without saying anything.
After the acupuncture was over, Wei Min brought the two children back. A Ruan gently comforted them one by one, indicating that she didn't feel any pain at all.
Wei Shu and Wei Miao obviously didn't quite believe it, and they touched A Ruan's head with their hands with suspicion on their faces.
After dinner in the evening, A Ruan sent the two children to bed. When he came back, the servants had already brought him the medicine he was going to take in the evening.
A Ruan had been doing acupuncture for most of the afternoon and had coaxed the two children for a long time. She hadn't eaten much for dinner. Now, when she smelled the medicine in her hand, she suddenly felt nauseous and had waves of vomiting.
Ah Ruan frowned, took a sip, put the bowl down, covered his stomach and almost vomited.
He paused for a moment, and when he was about to pick up the bowl to drink again, a hand suddenly came across and snatched the bowl from his hand.
Wei Min frowned slightly, looking unhappy, put the bowl aside, and said, "Aruan, that's enough, I won't drink anymore."
From the first day A'ruan took medicine and had acupuncture, Wei Min began to regret treating his throat.
As the saying goes, every medicine is poisonous. She had spent so much time to build up his health, not to leave it for ruin now.
She didn't care whether he could speak or not, she just wanted him to live a long life and accompany her till death.
"Aruan, I like it even if you can't talk. The two children are afraid that you will feel pain. Miaomiao's eyes were swollen from crying this afternoon." Wei Min sat down, raised his hand to hold Aruan's hand, and said, "Can we not treat her? It hurts me and the children too."
Ah Ruan's eyes trembled when he heard this, and his lips moved. He hesitantly pulled his hand out of Wei Min's hand and raised his hand to gesture:
——But I, I want to try.
Although Wei Min's brows were knitted, his tone was very gentle, "Divine Doctor Wu also said that it's just a try, and it may not be able to cure it. Ah Ruan, there's no need for us to torture ourselves so much for something we are not absolutely sure of."
She is now the prime minister, and no one dares to laugh at A Ruan for being a mute as they did at the Lu Ming Banquet before.
Wei Min lowered his voice and said softly, "Aruan, don't worry about what others think. I just hope you are fine."
A Ruan couldn't stand Wei Min talking to him in such a low and soft voice. Every time she did that, no matter what she said, A Ruan would always nod helplessly.
——I don’t care about others at all, I only care about my family and you.
A Ruan bit her lip and looked at Wei Min tenderly.
Whenever the two of them had different opinions, they would never argue. Either he would give in or Wei Min would give in.
But Aruan wanted to insist on this matter.
——I want to personally call Miaomiao to eat, and when Xiaoshu runs out to play, I want to be able to call her back like other fathers, and I want to blow out the candles and close the curtains, and whisper in your ear...
—My dear wife, I want to speak, I want to try, I want to do these things that I have only been able to imagine.
A Ruan looked at Wei Min seriously, raising his hand to gesture slowly and firmly.
Wei Min looked at him in silence, his fists clenched on his legs. After A Ruan finished his gestures, he said softly, "I know you want to try, but I feel bad. Seeing you getting acupuncture and taking medicine, my heart aches."
Hearing this, Ah Ruan sniffed with a smile, her eyes slowly moistened, and she stood up and took the initiative to sit in Wei Min's arms, hugging her neck gently, with her face resting in the crook of her neck.
Wei Min's heart had actually softened the moment A'ruan insisted, and now he was just struggling in vain, saying with a straight face, "It's no use to act like a spoiled child."
Although she said this, her clenched hands slowly loosened and she raised her arms to hug him.
A Ruan lowered her eyes, her trembling eyelashes hiding the smile in her eyes.
In order to make Wei Min agree to continue his treatment from the bottom of his heart, Ah Ruan sat up straight, raised his hand and said to her expectantly:
——My dear wife, my voice is very nice. When I get better in the future, I will learn some songs and sing them for you.
In the past, people in the village said that he had a sweet voice and often came to teach him to sing. As for what he was taught, A Ruan no longer remembers it clearly, but deep in his memory, he still vaguely remembers others praising his good voice.
Wei Min's lips slowly lifted up, her eyes full of smiles, "I know," she glanced at him, "I knew it the first time we had sex."
Wei Min felt that even when A'ruan sang a song, her voice was not as nice as hers.
Ah Ruan didn't know what he was thinking about, his ears were burning, and he glared at her.
Wei Min finally agreed to let A'ruan continue treatment, but he asked him for a condition, which would be fulfilled on the day he was cured.
The author has something to say: A Ruan: What are the conditions?
Wei Min: Let's sing "Little Waist" and sing "ovo" in my ear
A Ruan: _(:зゝ∠)_
