The two children had long noticed their father's behavior.
After attending classes for more than a year, they understood some of the principles. The brother and sister looked at each other, smiled secretly and closed their eyes.
Chu Yin was reluctant to leave: "It's so uncomfortable not to see it. It will take a while to return to the palace."
Lu Jingzhuo said: "Just take a break. They are young and must be tired."
Lu Wei echoed his father: "Mother, the children are indeed a little sleepy."
Chu Yin didn't believe it: "Open your eyes and don't listen to your father."
You have seen it all. There is no need to make the child suffer.
But the brother and sister have always been in awe of Lu Jingzhuo and did not obey.
Chu Yin had no choice but to persuade her husband: "I'm really fine, Your Majesty, there's no need to be like this." It was just a little rain, and they were already in the carriage. She didn't know why he was making such a fuss.
But Lu Jingzhuo did not let her go and still held her tightly.
Chu Yin pouted, her cheeks puffed up slightly.
The person was in his arms, and still so cute, Lu Jingzhuo couldn't help but bend down to kiss her.
Chu Yin was startled and dodged subconsciously while looking at the child.
He said silently, "They can't see," pressing his lips against hers.
She didn't dare to make a sound and couldn't help pinching him.
He was not in a position to go deep, so he just tasted it lightly.
Touch it once and it stops. Touch it again and it stops again.
There was a wicked smile in the man's eyes, and Chu Yin's face turned slightly red.
Suddenly her nose felt itchy, so she quickly covered it with a handkerchief and sneezed softly.
Lu Jingzhuo suddenly became nervous: "Didn't you say it was okay?"
"It's all right."
He frowned and checked her dress again, then found that her panties underneath were actually a little wet, and her calves were cold. He tried to take off her embroidered shoes and found that her stockings were also wet.
Needless to say, her feet must have been cold too.
Without hesitation, he immediately took off her stockings and then wrapped her legs and feet with his outer robe.
The man's jaw was tense and his face was grim, as if he was dealing with something serious. Chu Yin stared at him blankly, not knowing what to say. He suddenly shouted to the driver, "Go faster!"
Upon hearing this, the driver whipped the horse and the carriage rushed through the rainstorm like an arrow.
Dark clouds gathered together, weighing gloomily on the roof of the car.
He no longer had the heart to kiss her, and his eyes flickered in the dim light.
Chu Yin felt an extreme depression, just like the rain all over the sky, making it hard to breathe.
"Your Majesty, what are you worried about?" She couldn't help but ask, her fingers falling on the back of his hand and gently holding it.
His expression softened a little: "Nothing...why don't you take a rest too?"
The scene of Chu Yin getting sick in the previous life flashed through his mind, and he could hardly control his emotions.
But he couldn't tell Chu Yin.
"I thought of what was mentioned in the memorial," he explained.
Chu Yin didn't quite believe it.
He handled government affairs so easily, how could he suddenly be troubled by it at this moment? But he didn't want to say it, so she didn't ask: "In this case, I won't disturb your Majesty's thoughts." After saying this, she closed her eyes.
The horses pulling the carriage were all divine horses, and they galloped at full speed and soon arrived at the palace.
The rain still hasn't stopped.
Lu Jingzhuo did not get off the car immediately. He asked Dong Ling to get four raincoats, put them on the two children first, and then put them on himself and Chu Yin before getting off.
Compared to the carriage, the air outside is very cold.
Chu Yin was covered in warmth and sneezed again as soon as she came out.
In just a few months, even if he forced Chu Yin to exercise, she couldn't become very healthy so quickly. Lu Jingzhuo asked Dong Ling to invite Ma Yuanpan and Liu Yuanpan to Kunning Palace immediately.
Honeysuckle brought hot tea.
Chu Yin was about to drink when she heard Lu Jingzhuo say, "Go change your clothes first!"
He was really worried about her.
But she was very thirsty, so Chu Yin said, "I'll just drink a sip."
He hummed, "Hurry up."
Chu Yin didn't dare to delay, so she took a sip and went in to change into a cool dress.
When she came out, two imperial doctors had already arrived.
"Take her pulse and prescribe medicine to prevent colds."
Dean Ma and Dean Liu looked at each other in bewilderment.
Few people would prescribe medicine to prevent colds. Firstly, it is uncertain whether a cold will occur or not. Secondly, prevention is not possible even one day in advance. However, it is difficult to disobey the emperor's orders, so they can only do their best.
After taking the patient's pulse, the two discussed and wrote a prescription.
When Chu Yin heard the names of some of the medicinal herbs, her brows tightened slightly.
She had to take bitter medicine out of the blue. She was really tortured to death by Lu Jingzhuo.
But thinking of his expression in the carriage, she did not object.
The rainstorm came and went quickly, and at this time it had turned into fine raindrops.
However, the wind was still strong, blowing down the osmanthus flowers in the yard.
Chu Yin sensed that he was worried, so she tried to lighten the mood: "Today's mandarin fish is really fresh and tender. I'm not satisfied yet. No wonder Zhen'er wants to go again. I wonder if it's still possible to catch fish in this cold weather."
He was not in the mood to go again, but he had already promised his daughter. Chu Yin was in high spirits, so he said, "It will definitely be difficult after the snow. We have to go before October." And he had to ask the officials of Qintianjian to predict the weather in advance. Moreover, he had to bring a raincoat.
There is always a loophole, which I had never thought of before.
Lu Jingzhuo reached out and pinched his eyebrows.
The medicine was quickly boiled and brought over.
It's dark in color and looks unpalatable.
Lu Jingzhuo was afraid that Chu Yin would try to find excuses to escape like she was learning martial arts, so he tried to coax her. However, before he opened his mouth, Chu Yin drank it all without a word of complaint.
"Isn't it bitter?" he was surprised.
"How could that be?" Chu Yin frowned, "It's so bitter!"
If he hadn't been so worried, she wouldn't have drunk it.
Lu Jingzhuo smiled and leaned over to kiss her: "I'll try it too."
That's not necessary.
Chu Yin hid back: "It's really bitter."
He held the back of her head, forcing her to open her lips so that he could taste the tip of his tongue.
An indescribable taste...
But because it's her, it doesn't seem unacceptable.
He kissed her for a long time.
Chu Yin's face flushed and she wrapped her arms around his waist unconsciously.
At night, the man also held her tightly.
The chest behind me was burning hot, like a hand warmer in winter.
Before going to bed, Chu Yin asked, "Is Your Majesty so afraid that I will get sick?"
He did not answer immediately. After a while, he said in a hoarse voice, "Ayin, you are my sweetheart."
"If the heart and liver are damaged, the person will die."
Chu Yin didn't know how to describe the feeling at this moment.
Maybe he really likes her, but he shouldn't like her to this extent, right?
And she really couldn't stand the title of "sweetheart".
"I will try my best not to get sick." This was all she could say in response.
Lu Jingzhuo went to the Qianqing Palace in the morning.
Chu Yin slept until noon before waking up.
There was no sunshine outside the window; it was a cloudy day.
She had just sat down in front of the mirror when she sneezed.
Manqing hurriedly handed over the handkerchief.
"Didn't the Queen take the medicine yesterday? Why is she still like this?" Honeysuckle was surprised.
"The weather suddenly turned cold. Sneezing is normal. It's nothing to worry about." Chu Yin didn't think it was a big deal.
As a result, after finishing the meal, my nose kept running.
Damn it, is he really sick?
Before going to bed yesterday, he said that he would try his best not to get sick...
Chu Yin said, "Ask the kitchen to make a bowl of ginger soup."
When she caught a cold when she was young, her mother would always ask the kitchen to prepare ginger soup, which made her feel better after drinking it.
Ren Dong ordered, "How about asking the imperial physician to come and take a look?"
I don’t know if this will alarm Lu Jingzhuo.
He was always surprised when she was fine. If he knew about it, he would not approve any memorials and would do nothing. Chu Yin warned: "Go and invite her, but be careful not to let the emperor know and disturb him."
Honeysuckle didn't agree, but just agreed verbally.
Let’s see what the imperial physician says first. If she is really sick, she would never dare to hide it from the emperor even if she is beaten to death.
When Lei Ting is furious, even if her life is protected by the Empress, it will not be lost, but offending the Emperor is never a good thing.
Honeysuckle invited Ma Yuanzheng to come.
Seeing that the queen had still caught a cold, Ma Yuanzheng's heart began to pound, and he quickly used all his skills to treat her.
"Is the Majesty's illness not serious?" asked Rendong.
"It's not serious. It will heal in two or three days." Fortunately, it was not serious, otherwise the emperor would blame him. Ma Yuan was secretly rejoicing.
After sending him away, Ren Dong advised Chu Yin: "I think you should not hide it from His Majesty. Your Majesty also saw that His Majesty cares about you yesterday. Why do you need to make His Majesty angry? It's not easy for you to have such a harmonious relationship with His Majesty."
Chu Yin asked about the time: "Then go and report before noon."
This way he will have finished reading today's memorials and it won't have too much of an impact on him.
Honeysuckle is in command.
Lu Zhen attended classes in the side hall and usually came to pay her respects to her mother after class.
But today I was stopped outside.
She pouted and said, "Mother, why don't you let your daughter enter the palace?"
"I have caught a cold and it will be passed on to you, so you can't come in," Chu Yin comforted softly, "Zhen'er, be good, come back in a few days, okay? I don't want you to get sick."
It turned out that my mother was sick.
Lu Zhen poked her head inside and asked, "Will it be okay in a few days?"
"Of course."
"So brother can't see mom either?"
"cannot."
"Where's the Emperor?"
Chu Yin hesitated for a moment: "Father is an adult, you can take a look at it."
She can't stop Lu Jingzhuo.
Lu Zhen had no choice but to say, "Then mother, take the medicine well and get well soon."
"Okay." Chu Yin agreed.
Inside the Qianqing Palace, Lu Jingzhuo had just finished reading a memorial and was listening to an official report on the plague in Yuzhou.
Because he dealt with the problem in time, almost all the sick people in the city were cured by Cheng Miyuan. He planned to build a clinic in the capital ahead of time, invite Cheng Miyuan to take charge, and recruit disciples to benefit the people in the future.
At this time, the eunuch from Kunning Palace came to report.
When Dong Ling learned that the empress was ill, he hurried in to report as soon as the first officials left the hall.
Lu Jingzhuo was startled and the book in his hand fell suddenly.
He did so many things yesterday, and yet nothing could be stopped?
"Is it serious?" he asked.
"I heard from the eunuch that it is not serious."
But he was not reassured and stood up and ran towards the dragon chariot.
It is really rare to see the master lose his temper. The only two times were because of the queen.
Dong Ling was secretly shocked.
The illness flared up and Chu Yin felt cold, so she put on a thin coat and held a hand warmer in her hand.
Hearing that Lu Jingzhuo had arrived at the palace gate, she subconsciously hid the hand warmer aside.
After wiping her nose, she smiled at the man who was walking towards her quickly. "Director Ma has examined me just now. It's just a minor illness. He said it will heal in two or three days. I have already taken the medicine. Your Majesty, there is no need to..."
He pressed his palm directly on her forehead, and his expression changed immediately: "Why don't you lie down on the bed?"
"No need, right?" Chu Yin said, "I just have a runny nose."
He picked her up without saying anything.
He reached the bed, squatted down, took off her shoes, and stuffed them into the quilt.
Chu Yin looked at him helplessly, thinking, as expected, he would get so frightened.
"Which doctor did you ask to see you just now?" he asked while sitting beside the bed.
"Ma Yuanzheng."
He grumbled and told Dong Ling: "Please ask Judge Liu to come and take another look."
Chu Yin wanted to say something but swallowed it back.
Fortunately, after reading the case, Judge Liu came to the same conclusion as Judge Ma.
"Since both doctors said so, I guess it's fine," Chu Yin comforted him, "I also caught a cold when I was young, and my mother just told me to drink some ginger soup, and I didn't even need to take any medicine."
"That was when I was a kid." As you grow, you heal faster.
"But I really don't feel uncomfortable, I'm just a little cold."
Lu Jingzhuo looked at her carefully.
It seems to be different from the previous life.
Besides, she had a miscarriage before she got sick in her previous life, so this time he had already exiled Madam Yao in advance...
She never had a child in this life.
Everything is different now, so she won't die early, right?
Lu Jingzhuo relaxed a little.
Seeing his expression, Chu Yin felt that he was persuaded, so she advised him to leave: "Although it is not serious, it may be reported to the emperor. You still have to review memorials tomorrow, so be careful and don't get too close to me."
This is impossible.
Lu Jingzhuo ordered the palace maids to serve the meal.
"I will protect you."
"I've said before, you are my sweetheart."
Chu Yin wanted to cover her ears.
"Okay, I understand. Your Majesty, there is no need to say more."
Do you really dislike "heart"?
Lu Jingzhuo was a little dissatisfied.
Such an apt word!
When the food was served, he fed Chu Yin himself.
I wasn't very skilled and dropped a lot of food on the quilt.
Chu Yin seemed to want to say something but stopped.
"Once is new, twice is familiar," he said calmly, "I'll continue feeding you tonight."
This kind of treatment was something she had never imagined. Chu Yin looked at him deeply and suppressed her doubts again.
After all, she was sick. Chu Yin felt a little weak in the afternoon and decided to take a nap.
Lu Jingzhuo still didn't leave. He took off his outer robe and slept with her.
"You won't be cold when I'm here."
She really didn't want to pass it on to him.
Chu Yin said sullenly, "I can use Aunt Tang's."
"You mean, I'm not as good as Aunt Tang?"
"What I mean is that some things don't need to be forced. Your Majesty was very worried yesterday, but what is going to happen will still happen... What is going to heal will still heal. Why put yourself in trouble and get sick when the time comes?"
He said it so nonchalantly.
But the disease is in her body, and it is he who is in pain!
But Chu Yin will never know, and will never understand.
He pinched her waist angrily.
Chu Yin felt pain and groaned softly.
He sighed and hugged her tightly again: "Go to sleep."
Chu Yin was very sleepy and soon fell into a dream.
However, in her sleep, she suddenly felt her waist being tightly bound, as if a rope was strangling her, making it hard for her to breathe. She opened her eyes and heard him calling her nickname.
A very sad sound, almost weeping.
She tilted her head slightly.
My cheek felt cold and something dripped onto it.
She reached out to touch it and found her fingertips were slightly wet.
Tears?
The thought flashed through her mind, and she looked at the man holding her from behind in disbelief.
However, this movement also woke him up.
"Your Majesty..." She called him, wanting to take a closer look at him.
But he didn't let her turn her head, but buried his head in her hair, motionless.
The breathing slowed down and gradually became calm.
At this moment, she suddenly believed what he said, "I want her to grow old with him."
There is also the sentence "You are my sweetheart".
It's corny, but seems acceptable.
