It’s Better to be the Empress Dowager

Chapter 32: recuperate

Views:

Tang Shishi didn't sleep peacefully this night. After she followed the rescuers back to the camp, she developed a fever that night. With the last of her willpower, she hid the book in her sleeve in the corner of the bed, and then fell on the floor, completely ignorant of personnel.

In the dream, there seemed to be a fire, and her whole body was roasted on the rack. Tang Shishi was short of breath, she vaguely felt that her current state was very dangerous and she had to wake up quickly, but she struggled for a long time and could not break free from her dream.

She slept like this for a long time, and then it seemed that someone was sitting next to her, reaching out to touch her forehead, and pulling the quilt for her. There were more footsteps in the back. People came and went. Some people gave her medicine, and some people wet her lips with cotton. Tang Shishi felt much better and fell asleep more deeply.

She didn't know how long she had slept, but when she woke up, all the windows were down, the sound outside was pattering, and it was raining again.

Tang Shishi opened his eyes for a long time before he remembered where he was. She wanted to sit up, but she didn't know if she didn't move, and when she moved like this, she realized that her body was so sore.

She felt like she was using all her strength, but in fact, it was only a slight movement of her fingers. Fortunately, her voice here alarmed the people outside, and soon someone bypassed the screen and came in to check. The other party saw that Tang Shishi was awake, he was stunned for a moment, and immediately put on a smile: "You are awake."

Tang Shishi looked at the person who came, and frowned: "Zhou Shunhua, why are you?"

"I'm here to take care of you on the orders of the lord." Zhou Shunhua said, and shouted to the soldiers outside the tent, "Miss Tang is awake, go and invite the lord."

Tang Shishi slowed down for a while, and after accumulating strength, he propped himself up to sit up. Seeing this, Zhou Shunhua stepped forward to help Tang Shishi sit down and brought her a cup of tea.

Tang Shishi's voice was hoarse, and he could hardly speak. After she drank a full cup of tea, she finally felt better in her throat. Tang Shishi looked around and asked, "Are we still in the paddock?"

"Yes."

"Where's the prince?"

Zhao Chengjun had just entered the door when he heard these words. Zhao Chengjun paused for a short moment and continued to walk into the tent smoothly and calmly. Across the screen, the situation inside was blurred, and only a vaguely visible woman with long hair in plain clothes, leaning weakly on the bed, her body only took up a small mass.

I couldn't speak clearly, but the first thing I did when I woke up was to ask Zhao Zixun. Zhao Chengjun didn't even know what to say about Tang Shishi, but he looked at a person who was quite clear, but in the end he would be desperate for love.

Zhao Chengjun walked fast, and after he came in, the guards remembered to report. Tang Shishi and Zhou Shunhua stopped talking for a moment when they heard that Zhao Chengjun was coming. Zhou Shunhua stood up to salute Zhao Chengjun, Tang Shishi also remembered, and was stopped by Zhao Chengjun: "Don't move, take care of it."

Tang Shishi thanked him and slowly leaned back to the ground. When Zhao Chengjun came, Zhou Shunhua naturally didn't dare to sit on the couch any longer. She stood on the side of the screen with her hands tied and made way for the space in front of her.

Zhao Chengjun didn't intend to sit down, he waved his hand, and the imperial doctor behind him immediately stepped forward with the box and gave Tang Shishi's pulse. The imperial doctor pressed for a while, stood up, bowed his waist and said, "Report to your lord, Miss Tang's fever has subsided, and she will be cured by drinking a few more medicines to strengthen her body."

Zhao Chengjun nodded and said, "Go down and dispense the medicine."

"Yes."

After the imperial doctor left, Zhao Chengjun walked to the side of the collapse and stretched out two fingers. This gesture is like a forehead gesture, Tang Shishi subconsciously hides back, Zhao Chengjun falls into the air, and glances at her: "What are you hiding?"

Tang Shishi sneered and said euphemistically, "Didn't the imperial physician say everything just now, is it all right?"

Why are you still hitting her

Zhao Chengjun didn't understand the logic of this, he continued to move forward, seeing that Tang Shishi was going to hide again, Zhao Chengjun glanced at her lightly, Tang Shishi forcibly held back. Zhao Chengjun put his finger on Tang Shishi's forehead, probed for a while, and said, "It's really much better. I've been sweating a lot these days, don't see the wind, don't let her walk around."

The latter words were said to Zhou Shunhua. There was a tea cup on the table, which was the one Tang Shishi had just used. Zhao Chengjun saw it, glanced at it, and said, "Remove the tea, and then add only boiled water, add some coarse salt, and serve it to her every day."

Zhou Shunhua wrote down one by one, then bowed his knees and said, "Yes."

Tang Shishi was stunned. She thought that Zhao Chengjun came to settle accounts after the autumn. Unexpectedly, he just came to ask her about her condition. She looked at Zhao Chengjun, then turned to look at Zhou Shunhua, and found something wrong.

Tang Shishi asked tentatively, "Your Highness, Sister Zhou is here..."

Zhou Shunhua took the initiative to step forward and replied, "There are only two women in the camp. Miss Tang is ill, and it is inconvenient for foreign men to get close. Therefore, I have been taking care of Miss Tang during this time."

Tang Shishi's guess was fulfilled, she instinctively wanted to laugh, her lips curled up, she quickly held back, and said hypocritically, "How embarrassing is this..."

Tang Shishi was lying on the ground, while Zhao Chengjun and Zhou Shunhua were both standing, a little taller than Tang Shishi. Zhao Chengjun has a high advantage, as long as he bows his head, he can see all the small expressions of Tang Shishi.

Zhao Chengjun saw through Tang Shishi's careful thoughts at a glance. Although he was still solemn, the corner of his mouth was slightly raised. The little fox surrounded Zhao Chengjun's feet, biting the hem of Zhao Chengjun's clothes boldly. The people around were so frightened that they didn't dare to breathe, but Zhao Chengjun was in a good mood, so he didn't care about it. He just gently kicked the little fox away and said, "Hello, get sick, don't mess with your mind that shouldn't be moved."

The last sentence vaguely meant a warning, Tang Shishi didn't even think about it, and said obediently: "As ordered."

No matter what the people above say, just agree to it, she doesn't listen anyway. Zhao Chengjun saw Tang Shishi's face and knew that she didn't care at all, and she would not repent.

For the sake of her being a patient, Zhao Chengjun held back and just said, "It's better."

After speaking, Zhao Chengjun turned around and walked out. When he arrived at the door, Tang Shishi suddenly thought of something, and quickly asked: "My lord, what about your injury?"

Zhao Chengjun's footsteps paused slightly, and he was really surprised. He didn't look back, and said lightly: "No problem. You don't have to worry about it, you can take care of your illness in peace."

After Zhao Chengjun's figure completely disappeared, the air in the tent seemed to flow again. Zhou Shunhua walked slowly and said, "Your Highness is so kind to you."

Tang Shishi rolled his eyes secretly, and on the surface, he still said to Zhou Shunhua affectionately, "Your Highness is kind-hearted, and he can't bear to let me die. The prince is really on top of Sister Zhou."

Zhou Shunhua smiled lightly, noncommittal. Zhou Shunhua moved a round stool, sat on the side of Tang Shishi's collapse, and made a gesture to peel fruit for Tang Shishi. When Tang Shishi saw it, he quickly declined: "Sister Zhou, you and I feel the same as sisters. If you think about it carefully, your background is higher, how can you be allowed to do the work of serving people?"

Tang Shishi shouted, but his body remained motionless, allowing Zhou Shunhua to peel. Zhou Shunhua said: "It's okay, the lord asked me to take care of you. I should do these things of serving tea and water."

Tang Shishi felt relieved, and even his long-sick body became lighter. Tang Shishi was setting off firecrackers in his heart, and he even pretended to be polite: "I'm really sorry, Sister Zhou has worked hard these days."

"It's not hard." Zhou Shunhua smiled, showing no resentment or unwillingness at all, as if she should have been like this, "Two days ago, the princess of Naren Toya came to the camp with King Zhongshun to visit the prince, and the princess deliberately made a detour. Look at you. At that time, you were still having a fever and unconscious. The county master waited for a while and then left first."

Tang Shishi snorted, there were assassins in the paddock, neither Zhao Chengjun nor Anji Timur could rest assured, the hunting could only stop halfway. After all, King Zhongshun was a vassal of the Yan Dynasty, and King Jing was injured. Unexpectedly, Naren Toya came to visit Tang Shishi specially.

Tang Shishi asked: "King Zhongshun and the county master have left?"

"Yes." Zhou Shunhua said, "After leaving the prince's place, King Zhongshun set off from the camp and has been gone for four days now."

Tang Shishi was speechless when he heard this time, and asked, "How long have I been in a coma?"

"Counting the first two days, there are seven days in total."

Tang Shishi murmured, "It took so long."

Zhou Shunhua didn't speak, but he thought in his heart, isn't it, life is really hard. Tang Shishi had a high fever for seven days. In the first two days, because King Jing was in a coma, no one paid any attention to Tang Shishi. Tang Shishi had a fever, and Shuimi passed out for two days before entering the ground, but he still survived. After King Jing woke up, he immediately used the best resources and even traveled thousands of miles to transport medicine, which could be regarded as saving Tang Shishi's life.

Tang Shishi didn't know what happened during the coma, she thought she just had a fever. Tang Shishi caressed his heart and said with a long sigh of relief: "If you don't die in a big disaster, you must have future blessings, which means that my future blessings are still growing."

Zhou Shunhua smiled and nodded in agreement: "That's right."

Tang Shishi knew that he was all right, King Jing was all right, and Zhao Zixun was all right, and he immediately got up and burned with boundless passion. This is a plot not in the original book. Tang Shishi can still survive, which shows that she is destined to be the queen mother! Tang Shishi was full of confidence, and only then did he have the heart to pay attention to other things. She asked, "Who was the assassin that day, and have you caught it?"

"Caught, they are Tatars." Zhou Shunhua said, "These people were interrogated by the prince himself, and I don't know more information."

These are enough, Tang Shishi doesn't care about the internal details, she only cares about her plot. Tang Shishi asked again: "Where is the prince? That day, the prince thought the prince fell off the cliff, and went to look for it under the cliff himself, but accidentally fell into an ambush. Did the prince fall off the cliff? How was he found?"

Zhou Shunhua has also experienced these things, and no one knows the details better than her. Zhou Shunhua lowered his eyes and said, "We were chased by assassins. Later, the prince made a bloody path and took me to hide in the crevice of the tree to escape. We have never been to the edge of the cliff."

Tang Shishi slowly sighed, and sure enough, the traces on the edge of the cliff were forged, she said, how could such a high cliff fall and still be unscathed? Thinking of this, Tang Shishi finally remembered one thing: "I remember that you blocked a knife for the prince, are you still injured?"

Zhou Shunhua stroked his shoulders and said, "It's okay, the wounds are not serious."

Tang Shishi was a little embarrassed. The heroine blocked the sword for the prince and was injured. After returning to the camp, before taking a rest, Zhao Chengjun pulled her to take care of her. I have to say that Zhao Chengjun is really reckless.

There is no pity and cherish the heart of jade.

Tang Shishi said: "It's hard work, Sister Zhou. I almost forgot that you still have injuries. It's a pity that I was in a coma and didn't know what was going on outside. If I knew about it, I would definitely not let this happen."

In other words, this is an order from Zhao Chengjun, to hate Zhao Chengjun, it has nothing to do with her Tang Shishi anyway.

Zhou Shunhua smiled and said, "Miss Tang, what are you talking about? I have rough skin and thick flesh. How can I be compared with Miss Tang? Don't say that Miss Tang was seriously ill at the time. Even in normal times, I should take care of you."

There seemed to be something wrong with Zhou Shunhua's words. Tang Shishi couldn't figure out what was wrong for a while. She temporarily pressed it down and inadvertently provoked: "Sister Zhou, such a beautiful beauty like a flower like a jade, has to take care of others with her injuries. I look at it all. Yu Xin couldn't bear it, how distressed it would be if the prince found out."

Zhou Shunhua smiled slightly, and loneliness flashed in his eyes. She lowered her head, quickly covering the look in her eyes, and said, "I don't dare to do it. Miss Tang is beautiful, and she is valued by the prince. I'm just a servant girl. It's a blessing to be able to take care of Miss Tang. How dare you dare to talk to the prince?"

Tang Shishi finally understood what was wrong just now. Zhou Shunhua put her in the position of the prince's woman inside and out. Zhou Shunhua, as the maid of the prince, of course had to obey and be patient everywhere. After Tang Shishi wanted to understand, his inner feelings were quite complicated.

Tang Shishi did not expect that she was flattered by the heroine, not as a wife to a concubine, or a queen to a concubine, but as an elder. This entry point is a bit strange. Tang Shishi wanted to explain that she had nothing to do with King Jing, but he didn't want to increase Zhou Shunhua's prestige, and finally said vaguely: "It's not as good as you said, it's just a coincidence."

Tang Shishi was comfortably recovering from his illness for several days, and when he woke up, he pretended to be compelled to call Zhou Shunhua. Zhou Shunhua is worthy of being a person who has been fighting for 20 years in the palace, and has endured forcibly to the position of the queen. His patience is first-class. No matter how Tang Shishi acts as a demon, Zhou Shunhua is not angry. little daughter-in-law.

Tang Shishi was startled by her own association with goosebumps. She lay bored for several days and found no sign of starting. Tang Shishi finally couldn't bear it anymore. Once, when no one was paying attention, she quietly walked out the door. No one stopped her on the way, but before she could relax, she was stopped by the guards outside as soon as she opened the curtain: "Miss Tang, the lord asked you to recuperate in the camp and cannot go out."

When Tang Shishi was discouraged, she knew that King Jing would not let her go. Tang Shishi asked: "If I don't go out, I just want to breathe. By the way, since the paddock is not safe, why did King Zhongshun leave, but we still haven't set off? What is the king waiting for?"

The guard gave a straight look and said, "Wait for Miss Tang to recover."

Tang Shishi was surprised, she thought it was a joke, but the soldier's face was serious, and there was no intention of joking. While they were talking here, the main tent heard movement and the tent door opened.

Zhao Chengjun walked out slowly and asked, "What's wrong?"

Tang Shishi had to repeat what he said just now: "My lord, King Zhongshun has left, when will we leave?"

Zhao Chengjun looked at Tang Shishi, and suddenly stepped forward, probing Tang Shishi's forehead. Tang Shishi endured and did not hide, and the soldiers on duty around them saw it and silently closed their eyes.

Zhao Chengjun asked, "Is your illness cured?"

Tang Shishi didn't dare to move, and nodded stiffly: "Okay."

Zhao Chengjun withdrew his hand and said casually, "Let's go then. Send the order to go back to Xiping Mansion."
