Chapter 258: Taking medicine when sick, clearing up misunderstandings
"Your Highness?"
When Ji Qingwu saw Yuan Heng, he was surprised at first, and then astonished.
"Aren't you going to worship our ancestors together?"
So many people from the palace went there, but the prince who should have gone did not go.
Yuan Heng was wearing a mustard yellow robe with red and gold silk trims. He said, "Unfortunately, I caught a cold last night and feel unwell. So I asked my father for permission to stay in the palace to rest."
Hearing him say this, Ji Qingwu immediately squatted down, held his face with both hands, and looked at his expression.
Yuan Heng has become accustomed to her sudden behavior of making moves on him.
The originally pink lips are a little pale.
Ji Qingwu said: "Stick out your tongue, let me see."
There were guards at the door, and Yuan Heng pulled her aside.
He looked up and patted his chest and said, "I'm fine. I just caught a cold. I'll be fine today."
Ji Qingwu said nothing, touched his little wrist and listened carefully.
Seeing her nervous expression, Yuan Heng said, "I'm really fine."
Ji Qingwu glanced at him lightly, and Yuan Heng suddenly felt uneasy in his heart. He lowered his head and said nothing.
Xiao Shunzi stepped forward and prepared to complain: "Miss Ji, the young prince was not well behaved yesterday..."
Ji Qingwu said directly: "I understand."
Yuan Heng secretly raised his eyes and looked at her. She knew everything? How do you know?
Ji Qingwu released his wrist and said, "Did you soak in cold water and then be blown by cold wind?"
The tone is not a question, but a statement.
Yuan Heng's eyes widened and he took a small step back. One could tell from his expression that she had hit the nail on the head.
Ji Qingwu said coldly, "You are full of coldness right now. It's only because you have a good foundation. If it were an ordinary child, he would have had a high fever long ago."
In order to stay in the palace to accompany her, Yuan Heng made himself sick.
Ji Qingwu frowned and said to Xiao Shunzi, "Is there any imperial physician on duty at the Imperial Hospital?"
Xiao Shunzi had never seen Miss Ji so serious, so he nodded quickly.
"Yes, yes."
Ji Qingwu said, "I will write a prescription later, please go get the medicine, sir."
When he heard that he had to take medicine, Yuan Heng didn't dare to look at Ji Qingwu's face, but looked at the corner of her clothes.
"I...I'm fine now."
Ji Qingwu said: "You have no say."
Yuan Heng argued: "This is my body, why can't I have the final say?"
Ji Qingwu pointed at himself and said, "Because I have the final say."
Xiao Shunzi chuckled and Yuan Heng frowned when he saw it.
Because the emperor and the empress dowager were not in the palace, the high-ranking concubines were also not there.
In the past few days, Ji Qingwu has also made a name for herself in the palace, and no one dares to stop her wherever she goes.
Ji Qingwu returned to Qianyuan Palace with Yuan Heng.
She stripped the little guy of his outer robe, pressed him on the bed, and stuffed him into the quilt. Yuan Heng pursed his lips, as if he wanted to say something.
Ji Qingwu pinched his little mouth, blinked and said: "Protest is invalid."
After the Imperial Hospital brought the decocted medicine over, Ji Qingwu picked up the bowl. Yuan Heng shrank in the quilt, trying to hide himself.
Ji Qingwu lifted him out with one hand and without giving him a chance to react, poured the liquid down his throat.
Xiao Shunzi was stunned watching from the side. Is this still his little master who drank medicine that was as poisonous as drinking intestinal poison?
Ji Qingwu was already very familiar with this process. The only way to defeat all martial arts in the world is to be fast, and the same goes for feeding medicine to children.
After feeding him the medicine, she picked up a handkerchief and gently wiped the remaining medicine on the corners of his mouth.
She said softly, "Your Highness is so amazing."
Yuan Heng felt bitter in his mouth, but sweet in his heart.
He clenched his fists: "Even if I have another bowl, I can still drink it."
Ji Qingwu wiped the corner of his mouth, tucked the corner of the quilt for him, and said, "Three meals a day, there is still in the afternoon, don't worry."
The energy on Yuan Heng's jade-colored face suddenly disappeared, and he lay on the bed in frustration.
Ji Qingwu held back his laughter, lowered his head, and gave him a gentle kiss on the forehead.
Yuan Heng's dark eyes lit up again.
At night, Ji Qingwu accompanied the little guy to finish his meal.
Under Xiao Shunzi's expectant gaze, she quickly fed Yuan Heng a bowl of black medicine.
Ji Qingwu said: "Some diseases should be treated while they are mild. Don't think that you have no reaction now. If you wait until it breaks out completely, you will suffer a lot."
Yuan Heng's brows were furrowed, but his face looked much rosier than before.
Ji Qingwu put down the medicine bowl, picked up a preserved peach from the small plate next to it, fed one to the little guy, and ate one himself.
Yuan Heng had peach preserves stuffed into his mouth. He chewed them and found them sour and sweet, better than any he had ever tasted before.
He said in a hurry: "It's the same with you and the emperor."
The sweet and sour taste on Ji Qingwu's lips had not yet dissipated, and she asked in confusion: "What?"
Yuan Heng swallowed the preserved fruit and said seriously, "Some misunderstandings should be resolved while they are still young."
Now, it was Ji Qingwu's turn to be conflicted. Her brows furrowed, then relaxed after a while.
"There is no misunderstanding between your father and me."
Yuan Heng asked: "What is that?"
Even if so many people in the palace said that the emperor was tired of her, even if the empress dowager said that he didn't like her.
Even Emperor Wu Su himself said so, he was tired of it.
But Ji Qingwu never believed it.
Because love is never expressed verbally, it is hidden in the heart and will overflow from the eyes.
When Emperor Wu Su said that, he avoided her gaze and did not look at her.
Ji Qingwu could sense his struggle at that time. There must be something hidden behind Emperor Wu Su's abnormal behavior.
She was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "The biggest problem between your father and I is not anything else, but trust."
Yuan Heng said expectantly, "My father will return to the palace tomorrow night to pay respect to the ancestors."
Ji Qingwu looked at him tenderly.
"After you take the medicine, take a good sleep. You will be well again tomorrow morning. Then, you can go see your father."
Yuan Heng reached out and grabbed the corner of her clothes, saying, "Shall we go see our father together?"
Looking at the little guy with pleading eyes.
Ji Qingwu shook his head decisively: "No."
Yuan Heng asked: "Why not go?"
Ji Qingwu said: "I didn't say I wouldn't go."
Yuan Heng asked in confusion: "What does it mean?"
Ji Qingwu picked up the medicine bowl, stood up, and said with bright eyes: "You don't need to accompany me, I will go by myself."
She wants to find the answer herself.
On the second day, Emperor Wu Su would return to the palace from the Imperial Temple later in the evening.
Ji Qingwu went back home and lay in bed last night, rehearsing all night about what he would say when he saw him, and fell into a drowsy sleep in the early morning.
I successfully missed breakfast and woke up at noon.
She quickly packed up and went to Qianyuan Hall. She agreed to have dinner with Yuan Heng.
The medicine has been placed on the table.
Yuan Heng's eyes lit up when he saw her come in.
Ji Qingwu was wearing a wide-sleeved gown made of plain silk with a pattern of dark green lotus flowers. The sleeves were wide and loose, and she wore a pink jade belt. Her black hair was tied up with a light silver hairband and a emerald hairpin with precious flowers was inserted diagonally into her bun.
Seeing her dressed like this, Yuan Heng happily took the medicine bowl on his own initiative.
Ji Qingwu smelled something wrong before he even sat down.
