Su Wanwan felt dizzy and weak all over, yet she still struggled weakly:
"I'm fine..."
Lu Xingjian picked the person up horizontally and said in a cold, emotionless voice, "Summon the imperial physician."
Gu Ziyu quickly walked over and reached out her arms: "Let me carry her!"
Lu Xingjian pursed his lips, gave him a cold look, and then strode away with the person in his arms without expression.
Gu Ziyu's usually smiling face now had a hint of coldness.
The Emperor's feelings for Wanwan are extraordinary.
Zhou Wanxiu sensed the tense atmosphere and felt a chill run down her spine.
He hurriedly instructed the steward to prepare hot water and utensils for decocting medicine.
The imperial physician came with Lu Xingjian.
It is said that Su Wanwan caught a cold from riding a horse shortly after recovering from a serious illness, which caused her condition to relapse and she developed a fever again.
It needs careful care and should not be subjected to strenuous activity.
Gu Ziyu was stopped outside the room by the eunuch, and upon hearing these words, he was filled with remorse.
He hadn't expected Su Wanwan to be so delicate; she was so fragile that she would collapse at the slightest breeze.
He should have known better than to take her horseback riding; playing chess with her would have been fine too.
The maid brought the brewed medicine into the room.
Lu Xingjian made no attempt to conceal the difference between men and women.
He sat down by the bed, helped Su Wanwan sit up, let her lean on his shoulder, and patiently coaxed her to take her medicine.
Upon seeing this, Gu Ziyu's eyes widened like copper bells, and veins bulged on his forehead.
What is he doing?!
He wouldn't even let me in the door, yet he was holding her and feeding her medicine?!
How could a dignified emperor like him possibly marry a widow?!
Zhou Wanxiu also looked terrified.
Yan Rong and He Ying, on the other hand, remained calm and silent.
They had seen Lu Xingjian take care of the drunk Su Wanwan all night long...
Giving someone some medicine is really nothing.
Su Wanwan leaned weakly against Lu Xingjian's shoulder.
Her hair was a little loose, with a strand of black hair hanging down beside her cheek, and her eyes were closed.
She was like a pear blossom that could not withstand the spring rain, making people feel sorry for her.
Lu Xingjian slowly stirred the warm medicine in the bowl, his voice low and coaxing, with a hint of doting affection, yet also afraid of startling her:
"Drink your medicine obediently, and I'll grant you a wish."
Zhou Wanxiu, who was standing not far away, froze, her eyes wide open.
The emperor's promise was merely a ploy to coax her into taking the medicine.
She even wanted to drink the medicine for Su Wanwan and then ask Lu Xingjian to take her into his harem and make her his concubine.
Even just watching him from afar is good.
If she could win his favor and have a child of their own, her life would be complete.
Gu Ziyu clenched her fists tightly.
Shameless! Utterly shameless!
Where is the ethics in the case of the supreme ruler, who is so high and mighty, seducing a weak widow?
Where is morality?
Where is the bottom line?!
He desperately wanted to rush in, but was stopped at the door by the young eunuch, and could only watch helplessly as Lu Xingjian showed her affection.
He looked at Su Wanwan nervously, afraid that she might actually agree.
Su Wanwan slowly opened her eyes, her gaze unfocused and weak.
A complex struggle is raging within me.
She was somewhat tempted by Lu Xingjian's words.
The Marquis of Qingyang's residence, Empress Xia.
She alone is completely incapable of overthrowing it.
If she wanted revenge, if she wanted to escape their persecution, she had no choice but to rely on others.
only.
Gu Ziyu and Lu Xingjian, who is the best person for her to leverage?
Lu Xingjian seemed to be giving her a chance to fulfill her wish.
In reality, they were setting a trap for her.
Let her choose in front of Gu Ziyu, so that Gu Ziyu will back down.
She may never be able to get married again.
He could only be his plaything.
Is it worth sacrificing the rest of your life for revenge?
Zhou Wanxiu's teeth were practically grinding to powder, and her heart was throbbing with pain.
She had known Lu Xingjian since she was a child. He had always been aloof and had never treated her so gently before.
Lu Xingjian's slender fingers picked up the medicine bowl and brought it to Su Wanwan's lips again.
Su Wanwan pushed him away directly:
"I won't drink it."
She wanted to see just how far this man was willing to go for her.
Will he make things difficult for his wife's family because of his former lover?
Lu Xingjian looked down at her, feeling a little displeased, but still very patient.
"Then wait a moment."
I casually placed the medicine bowl on the bedside table.
Su Wanwan turned to lie back on the bed, but Lu Xingjian reached out his long arm and pulled her back, so she leaned against him.
They're too intimate.
It happened in front of Zhou Wanxiu and Gu Ziyu.
Su Wanwan's entire face turned bright red, all the way down to her ears.
Her watery eyes glared angrily at Lu Xingjian.
He completely disregarded her reputation.
Lu Xingjian looked down at her, his eyes gentle and earnest.
"After taking the medicine and taking a nap, the illness will be cured."
The voice was low, rustling, and deep, like a feather gently brushing against the heart.
Su Wanwan's heart skipped a beat.
For sick people confined to bed, what they crave most is someone to accompany and care for them gently and patiently.
I never expected him to have such a gentle side towards me.
So, will he be used for his own purposes?
Su Wanwan was engaged in a fierce internal struggle.
The atmosphere remained tense.
It was Zhou Wanxiu who broke the deadlock. She stepped forward and forced a smile:
"Aunt Wan, do you want to eat the candied fruit that Granny Zheng makes?"
Lu Xingjian and Su Wanwan both came to their senses.
Su Wanwan's red face slowly turned white.
Lu Xingjian's expression slowly turned cold.
Su Wanwan used all her strength to slowly sit up, took the medicine bowl, and drank it all in one gulp.
