Chapter 50
"Fortunately, my royal sister discovered it early. If it was really Xuanliu and Gena... Tsk, this prince is really finished!" Zhou Xuanqing joked, took the pen and started writing a letter.
"Yes, um...Prince~ Do you think I can stay in the emperor's harem for a few days when I go back?" Lu Zehua said, feeling a little unnatural and shy.
Zhou Erlan paused, glanced at him, and recalled the image of him kneeling before the Imperial Sister's bed, a behemoth. A shudder ran down her spine. The difference between the Imperial Sister and him standing together was too great to imagine...
"Prince? Speak!" Seeing that he didn't say anything and kept looking at him, Lu Zehua slapped him on the shoulder.
Zhou Erlan almost vomited blood and quickly said, "You have to ask the Imperial Sister... I can't make the decision..."
"Hey~" Lu Zehua shook his head when he heard it, walked out of the tent and called the eagle that delivered the message.
Ask the Emperor? He didn't dare... He was afraid the Emperor would get angry and frown...
In the palace, Tang Mitang sat in the teahouse for a whole day and returned to Daming Palace at dusk. Unexpectedly, Zhou Xuanqing had not returned yet and had spent the whole day in the imperial study.
But the young palace maid saw her and hurried over to greet her, whispering in her ear: "Miss Tang, Eunuch Chang Xi said that when you come back, take the medicine box to the imperial study."
"Ah? Bring a first aid kit? Who is injured?" Tang Mitang was shocked after hearing this. She was away for just one day and the emperor was injured?
"No, I told you to do that at noon, but I haven't found you yet~"
"Okay, I'll go right away." After saying that, Tang Mitang took the medicine box and walked towards the imperial study.
The lights in the imperial study were on. Chang Xi stood outside the door, holding a whisk, staring with his small eyes at Tang Mitang who was hurrying over, and quickly ran down the stairs.
"Hey~ Where did you go to play? Why did you come back just now?" Chang Xi swung the whisk and patted Tang Mitang.
Tang Mitang frowned and spat out the white hair in his mouth. He looked at Chang Xi, who looked anxious, and tilted his head in confusion. "What happened? Why is it so urgent?"
"Big news! The emperor has back pain..."
"Your waist isn't feeling well? Wasn't it because of last night's trouble? Why are you looking for me? Go find Li Jue!" Tang Mitang said, then turned around angrily! Why should she be the one to clean up the mess when someone else is messing with the person she likes?
Just let her be uncomfortable and wild!
"Don't run! Who else should I look for if not you? The Emperor said he bumped into the handrail last night. The pain didn't go away at first, but it got worse after the court session. He was still in the middle of a meeting, and he was sweating all over. Now he can't even get up. It hurts every time he moves. He's lying on the bed! He's waiting for you. If he was alright, he would have returned to Daming Palace long ago!"
Chang Xi stopped Tang Mitang and said anxiously, looking at the tears on her face, he touched them puzzledly. Why did she cry so easily?
Tang Mitang slapped Chang Xi's hand away, wiped away her tears, and walked towards the imperial study with her head lowered.
Did you hit the handrail last night? Was the battle so intense!
As I approached the door, I saw Zhou Xuanqing lying on the couch, flipping through memorials in his hands.
It seems nothing happened!
"Your Majesty, are you feeling unwell?" Tang Mitang asked, placing the medicine box on the low table, along with the memorial, in front of Zhou Xuanqing. She reached out and pressed Zhou Xuanqing's waist hard. Let her do it!
"Ah!" Zhou Xuanqing cried out in pain, and the memorial in his hand fell to the ground.
Tang Mitang saw that she was in real pain, so she quickly lifted her dress and looked at the bruises on her waist. She was shocked. How did she hit her lumbar vertebrae?
"Your Majesty, how did you bump into me?"
"Hiss~ Last night, when I broke free from Li Jue's arms, I used too much strength..." Zhou Xuanqing closed his eyes and felt pain even when breathing.
"What did it feel like?"
"I couldn't move below my waist... but it was fine after a while. I even fought, and there was no problem at all. When I came back to rest in the middle of the night, I just felt a little numb when I lay in bed. I felt a little bloating and pain before going to court this morning, but it didn't hurt much after a couple of hammering, so I didn't pay much attention to it..."
"You! If you push harder, you'll be paralyzed! And you don't care! Where did you go to fight last night?" Tang Mitang said angrily, not caring even though she couldn't move her whole body! But to put it this way, Zhou Xuanqing didn't...
Tang Mitang took out a silver needle and, while Zhou Xuanqing was struggling, stabbed her in the waist to draw out the blood clot...
"It hurts~ I got the shot at Nanshan last night... Tang Mitang, please be gentle."
When Tang Mitang heard that she had gone to Nanshan, she didn't put on a smile like Li Jue did. But when she heard her cry out in pain, she quickly softened her tone and asked, "Can I do it now?"
"Ouch~ It still hurts..." Zhou Xuanqing curled his lips and tried to use the memorial to divert his attention, but his hands had no strength.
"Zhou Xuanqing, don't move. If it hurts, just scream. Don't move!" Tang Mitang rubbed Zhou Xuanqing's head viciously and treated her more carefully.
"No, it's embarrassing~"
Chang Xi, who was standing at the door, heard the noise inside and suddenly felt a little ashamed. He silently walked to the pillar and squatted down, holding the whisk.
After about half an hour, Tang Mitang put away the needle and carefully helped Zhou Xuanqing up.
"Take a few steps and tell me how you really feel!"
Tang Mitang was afraid that Zhou Xuanqing would think that the minor pain was bearable and would later recognize that it was a serious illness.
Zhou Xuanqing took two steps, pursed his lips and said, "I don't feel anything..."
"What do you mean by not feeling anything? Pain, numbness, smoothness, these are all feelings! Feel them carefully!" Tang Mitang was a little anxious. After all, Zhou Xuanqing's injury this time was special and too dangerous!
Zhou Xuanqing shook his head, turned to look at Tang Mitang, frowned and said, "I can't feel it. The cold and mysterious poison has tortured me for so long, I don't know what the normal state is..."
Zhou Xuanqing's voice became smaller and smaller, and finally completely buried in his throat...
She truly couldn't feel it. The cold and profound poison tortured her day and night, and the pain had reduced her sensitivity. Even if she was punched, she wouldn't feel much pain...
When Tang Mitang heard her say this, he quickly supported her, sighed, and looked at her with heartache.
"It's okay if you can't feel it, dear~"
"Tang Mitang, don't talk to me like that!" Zhou Xuan listened to her coaxing tone like a child and glanced at her.
"Okay, okay~ Try to lie down as much as possible these two days, walk less, and don't let your waist get too tired..." Tang Mi Tang saw that she was shy and muttered with a smile.
"Okay~ stop talking, I can't remember, you followed me these two days." Zhou Xuanqing raised his hand and pinched her mouth to stop her from making any sound. He was so annoyed by this doting voice!
But he didn't notice that his own voice was like this too.
