Chapter 144 Heartache
Not long after, the medicine was ready. Rong Jinchen was awakened by Su Zhenzhen. Gu Heng cleverly helped him up and leaned him against the bed. He saw the girl looking at him with a worried look on her face. "Husband, it's time to drink the medicine." Su Zhenzhen held out a white porcelain bowl filled with thick, black medicine. The man froze slightly.
Smelling the bitter medicinal concoction, Su Zhenzhen pursed her lips and looked at him, "Husband?" Why didn't he move? "Qingqing, I'll drink it later. Have you finished your breakfast?" The man's voice was still hoarse, and his eyes were a little vague.
Su Zhenzhen was suspicious, "Not yet." Thinking of something, her eyes moved slightly, "Chenchen, you are not afraid of bitterness, are you?" This man is also fond of sweet things. This bowl of Chinese medicine smells bitter, sour and cold, and it is black. It looks unpalatable at first glance.
He loved the milk tea she had someone make for him in the past. This was also a characteristic of Jiangnan. It was normal that Rong Jinchen had not been able to drink it for seven or eight years at the border.
This fictional dynasty has its own cuisine and does not evolve according to Su Zhenzhen's modern history. Therefore, Su Zhenzhen is not afraid of being recognized by the time-traveling girl Luo Zhihan as a time-traveler, even though Luo Zhihan comes from the future of the present Qin Dynasty.
Rong Jinchen's handsome face was even more handsome because of his pale complexion. "I'm not afraid." Gu Heng had silently hinted to Bai Zhiluowu and the other maids who had prepared breakfast to leave when the princess brought medicine to His Highness.
There's nothing he can do about it, since he was the one who grew up under his care.
Gu Heng understood His Highness well. He hated taking medicine and loved sweets. Fortunately, now that he had the Princess, he could finally rest assured.
Su Zhenzhen pursed her lips. It was said that couples should share the joys and sorrows, but she also hated taking Chinese medicine, so she could empathize with Rong Jinchen's current experience.
"Husband, the medicine will be even more bitter if it gets cold." It will also affect the effectiveness of the medicine. Su Zhenzhen looked at him eagerly. Rong Jinchen faced her expectant eyes, his Adam's apple rolling silently. He reached out to pick up the hot but edible white porcelain bowl, closed his eyes and drank it in one gulp.
Su Zhenzhen would not feed him medicine spoonful by spoonful. For someone who had taken Chinese medicine, this was too cruel.
After she saw him finish drinking the medicine, she stuffed some sweet candied fruit directly into his mouth, then reached out to take the bowl, "My dear husband, you are so good." He was much more cooperative than she was when she drank the medicine before. She put it on the rosewood tray on the rose chair beside her and pinched a piece of candied fruit for him.
Rong Jinchen frowned and just swallowed the candied fruit. Seeing his expression, Su Zhenzhen picked up another piece of candied fruit and fed it to his lips, "Okay, my dear." After Rong Jinchen felt that the bitter taste of medicine was no longer in his mouth, he stopped Su Zhenzhen from feeding him.
"My dear, haven't you had breakfast yet?" Rong Jinchen's eyes darkened. The girl looked up at him, "I'm waiting for my husband." She looked at a square rosewood table that had been moved to the side of the bed by the maids. On it was a light and easy-to-eat breakfast.
This was Su Zhenzhen's specific instruction. There was no need to prepare breakfast for her separately. She could still accept just a few meals.
"I didn't feed my husband the medicine just now. Now I'm feeding you breakfast. These chicken sauce wontons are delicious and fresh." She picked up the wontons and scooped up a small wonton with a white porcelain spoon, blew on it and fed it to him, "..." Rong Jinchen felt a little awkward in his heart. He had never let anyone feed him since he could eat by himself, but his body was honest and he swallowed it with his mouth opened.
Su Zhenzhen continued eating without any disdain. "Qingqing, wait a minute, don't catch a cold from me," Rong Jinchen said hurriedly. She was silent for a moment, then said, "Okay." Then she fed him another small wonton, took the opportunity to pick up a crystal shrimp dumpling and put it in her mouth, and continued feeding him.
Gradually, Su Zhenzhen began to enjoy the pleasure of feeding him and would wipe the corners of his mouth from time to time. On the contrary, Rong Jinchen was embarrassed and excited as he immersed himself in the process of being fed by Qingqing.
After finishing the late breakfast, Su Zhenzhen asked someone to come in and clean up, then took off her coat and continued to sleep with Rong Jinchen.
She snuggled in the quilt and reached out to touch his forehead, "Well, it's not so hot anymore. It seems the imperial physician is still useful." Su Zhenzhen touched his forehead with her own, "Husband, is your head still dizzy?" Her eyes were very gentle. Rong Jinchen couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. Su Zhenzhen curled up the corners of her lips and kissed the man on the forehead very intimately.
Rong Jinchen could only feel his heartbeat, which had been pounding faster due to the high fever, suddenly speeding up uncontrollably. The sound of his heartbeat was clearly audible, echoing in his ears. His dark phoenix eyes were misty with water, and he couldn't help but bury his head in the girl's neck, his hands tightly wrapped around her soft waist. "It hurts." In fact, he didn't feel so bad after taking the medicine, but being favored made people feel fearless, so he wanted to act coquettishly towards Qingqing and let her coax him.
Su Zhenzhen was so heartbroken when she heard this that tears welled up in her eyes. She knew that the man in front of her was not the kind of person who would show off his strength, so she gently hugged him in her arms and said, "It will feel better if you hug me." She also gently patted his back with her hand.
The man felt the warmth and softness of the girl, as well as the gentle comfort of the girl, and his heart couldn't help but feel as happy as a firework blooming. Is it true that it is good for a man to show weakness appropriately?
Rong Jinchen's brows knitted slightly. "Qingqing, can I hold you while you sleep?" Su Zhenzhen listened to his muffled voice and lowered her eyes to look at his furry head. "Of course." She realized at this moment that with this man's love-brained attitude, acting like a spoiled child was a common occurrence. When had he ever been so stubborn in front of her? But she still felt sorry for him, so it didn't matter if she gave in to him this time. He usually spoiled her.
The two of them lay in bed, Rong Jinchen in her arms, his large hands tightly gripping her waist. Su Zhenzhen followed him and closed her eyes. However, she always felt restless in her sleep, often reaching out to touch his forehead, fearing that he would have a recurring high fever.
The sun is shining brightly outside the window, the sky is clear, a man and a woman are in a sweet dream inside the house, and the maid guarding outside is also basking in the sun in warm clothes.
After Su Zhenzhen's meticulous care, Rong Jinchen's cold was almost gone after taking another dose of medicine. After all, he was young and in good health, so the cold went away quickly.
But from Su Zhenzhen's perspective, this man seemed to have opened the door to a new world. He often stayed in her arms, asking for kisses and hugs, looking like a little puppy.
Fortunately, he also has his baggage in front of outsiders, and he only becomes so affectionate when the two of them are alone.
Since the beginning of winter, Su Zhenzhen has rarely returned to the Su Mansion. Su Qiyang and Ye Mingyan were worried that she would come back in the wind and snow every now and then, as she might get sick easily. Therefore, she and Rong Jinchen only went back once or twice in November.
They only went back once during the entire twelfth lunar month, which happened to be when her sister-in-law found out she was pregnant. The two of them had endless conversations at the Prince of Yan's mansion, doing many childish but enjoyable things together. It seemed like the blink of an eye, and it was already the New Year's banquet.
