Although the imperial physician had repeatedly assured that the princess had a slight fever and would be fine after drinking the medicine, Tang Zhuozhao still didn't show signs of waking up until night.
There was a smell of medicine in the room, mixed with the soft scent of mint, Huo Qiu sat on the soft stool not far from the bed, he was like the breeze of the moonlight.
He was disturbed by the woman's delicate and fragrant body and the nonsense in her mouth, and suddenly a wind blew up in his originally calm heart, causing turbulent ripples.
I had to stay far away so that my mood could be a little more peaceful.
But even so, he couldn't help but look at the petite person on the bed.
Tang Zhuozhao's face was still a little hot, his palm-sized face was lined with long black hair, his snow-white skin was as thick as fat under the candlelight, and his whole body exuded a temptation that made his mouth dry and tongue dry.
Huo Qiu's eyes were like inkstones that had been overturned, except for the blackness that was so thick that it couldn't be melted, he couldn't see any other emotions, dangerous and depressed.
Tang Zhuozhao was awakened by the strong medicinal juice, the bitterness spread from the tip of his tongue to the bottom of his heart, and then flowed to his back, causing thin bumps on his forearms.
She finally opened her eyes, subconsciously tilted her head to avoid the jade spoon beside her lips, her eyelashes trembled a few times, and met a pair of cold eyes.
Huo Qiu was dressed in a silver-rimmed robe, and sat on the edge of the bed frowning, still holding on to the spoon she despised, his cold face was covered with a familiar chill.
Tang Zhuozhao was instantly awake.
"Your Highness?"
She called softly, her voice was a little hoarse, but she couldn't hide the surprise in her voice.
Huo Qiuju looked at her condescendingly, and let out a soft hum from his throat, full of innumerable mellow and deep sounds.
"Drink the medicine." He held the small jade spoon with his well-articulated long fingers, looking clumsy and a little out of place.
Tang Zhuozhuo's scalp tightened for a while, and he smiled flatteringly at him, "Your Highness, I will come by myself."
Huo Qiu cast a deep look at her, and handed the warm medicine bowl to her, touching her soft fingertips during the process, his body stiffened slightly, and his eyes became darker.
The medicine juice in the medicine bowl was rich, and it smelled bitter. Tang Zhuozhuo held the handle of the spoon, and there was still warmth from Huo Qiu's fingers on it.
She suddenly trembled in her heart.
In the previous life, she often fell ill in the cold palace, often fainted for a whole day, and every time she woke up, the room smelled like medicine.
She only thought that An Xia secretly made some medicine for her and boiled it for her to drink, but she never thought about how An Xia could be so capable? If you are in the cold palace, who will care about your life
What's more, it is such a cannibal place in the palace.
Tang Zhuozhuo took a deep breath, his hands were trembling slightly, which was covered up by her calmly, and he drank the bitter concoction in one gulp.
A piece of bright peach blossom noodles suddenly became tangled up, and I really wanted to call An Xia to bring a plate of candied fruit over, but because of Huo Qiu's cold face at the side, I had no choice but to purse my lips and close my eyes to swallow the bitter taste .
Huo Qiu looked at her secretly baring her teeth, with a shallow smile in his eyes, and the ice-like aura all over his body collapsed.
She had never shown such a vivid appearance in front of him.
After drinking the medicine, Tang Zhuozhuo's eyes were filled with tears, and An Xia saw him beside him, his head was so low that he couldn't lower his head to bring a plate of candied fruit.
This is a little better.
People really change with the times. She has suffered so much in the cold palace, but now lying on this soft bed, she can't even feel the pain of a bowl of medicine.
The servants in the hall came in to change the incense, and opened a small window to let in the air. Only then did the smell of medicine in the room dissipate a little, and the night entered the room, bringing a little chill again.
Tang Zhuozhuo lowered his head, poking out one or two small holes in the brocade with his slender fingers. The man sitting on the edge of the bed had a strong sense of presence. From her perspective, his slender fingers overlapped in the moonlight On her brocade robe, the smell of mint on her body mixed with the one in the palace, and she suddenly became dizzy.
"Your Highness... Is the meal available?" Tang Zhuozhuo looked at the sky outside and asked.
Huo Qiu raised his eyebrows, "I will use it in the main hall later."
Tang Zhuozhuo nodded lightly, then pulled back his fine hair, revealing a corner of the elegant magnolia hairpin.
"Did the concubine disturb His Highness today?"
Huo Qiu glanced at her lightly, stood up, and then realized that Tang Zhuozhuo had finally relaxed, and immediately lowered his eyes.
Why on earth did Tang Zhuozhuo call him by his name when he was asleep, but he was so alienated and guarded when he woke up
What is she thinking
"Never." He felt the gloom in his heart tangled into a ball, wishing he could directly ask the person on the bed, but he was always calm and restrained, stroked the jade wrench on his finger, his eyes were full of A raging blizzard.
"My concubine was born with a weak body, so don't worry, Your Highness." She raised her head, her eyes were clear and sincere.
She naturally knows how much Huo Qiu cares for her, and her daily dreams are all about him standing alone in the imperial study and caressing her portrait in his previous life.
It's really uncomfortable to watch.
"Since I know I'm not in good health, why didn't I drink the medicine prescribed by the imperial physician on time?" His voice was as cold as an ice cellar in winter, his sword eyes wrinkled, and there was undisguised anger in his eyes.
Today he caught the imperial physician and interrogated her, and learned that she should be treated with natural medicines, but today, when he took a pulse, the situation did not improve at all, and after asking the maids who served her, he found out that she did not take a sip of the medicines, and poured them all down. The trees in the yard fell.
He almost laughed angrily.
Tang Zhuozhuo silently swallowed the words that were about to reach his lips, before the corner of his mouth smiled, his jaw was lifted by a cold hand, and he met the man's strong black eyes.
"When you were burnt out today, you called Gu's name out of your mouth."
Tang Zhuozhuo's pupils shrank, since the day she was reborn, every night she dreamed was the desolate night in the cold palace, Huo Qiu stood on the palace wall and looked at her.
Before she could figure out what to say while muttering, Huo Qiu had already taken a step closer, his deep eyes wandering from her delicate face, not without a trace of infatuation.
"Tang Zhuozhuo, I know your nature very well. These days, you are trying to please me. What do you want?"
His tone was indifferent and awe-inspiring, like a sharp sword, tearing away the disguise on the surface, leaving nowhere for people to hide.
It was difficult for Tang Zhuozhao to speak, and Bai Nen's palms were tightly clenched: "Concubine..."
Before she could finish her sentence, Huo Qiu loosened her jaw, and smiled heavily, with a dark face: "When did you ever call yourself a concubine in front of Gu?"
Tang Zhuozhuo was speechless. She didn't like Huo Qiu in the first place, and she was forced to marry into the East Palace. It would be good if she didn't call him by name. How could she call herself a concubine
Thinking about it this way, is it because his behavior is different from the past that made him suspicious
Seeing that she didn't speak, Huo Qiu was so angry that his chest heaved up and down a few times, mixed with disappointment and anger, which almost made him lose his mind.
It's just such a person, he held her in his heart, and wanted to rub her into his body, but she looked indifferent.
Staying out of things like that, and using affection like this is all his business.
But, it is indeed his own business.
"Jiaojiao." Huo Qiu was so angry that he pinched her slender waist and made her fit his body perfectly. He finally felt some comfort in his heart and sighed hoarsely.
Tang Zhuozhao's body was unbearably stiff, his apricot eyes were round and round, and the tip of his nose was filled with the plain fragrance of his body, without the bitterness, all that was left was tenderness.
"Can you make Gu feel at ease?" His hoarse voice seemed to be mocking, but also like a lover's murmur, completely missing the noble and cold appearance above the court.
Tang Zhuozhuo's heart felt warm, the difference was too much, and he only felt a little heat in his eye sockets.
"Except for not taking medicine, I'm usually a peace of mind." She rubbed the tip of her nose and muttered in a low voice, her whole face wrinkled into a ball.
