At this time, Lu Changzai, who had not noticed Mu Yuanxiu's mood change, had already seen the shiny little chickenpox on Mu Yuanxiu's body and face when he entered the door. How could Lu Changzai, who had contracted chickenpox in his childhood, not understand what these little pimples were? He couldn't help but feel happy.
She made the right bet!
Rong Si really did not lie to them and told the truth. The emperor really only had chickenpox, not smallpox, and she had already had chickenpox in her childhood and would not get it again.
As long as she seizes this opportunity, she will definitely be able to catch the emperor's eye. Not to mention anything else, at least she can move around in this position. And in the next half month or so, as long as she serves the emperor well, she will at least gain a reputation for sharing weal and woe. You know, there are rumors outside that the emperor has contracted smallpox. She still walked in firmly under such circumstances. How would the emperor look at her when he knew it
This is an opportunity, a great opportunity.
Lu Chang was so excited that he didn't even know what to do. His fingers trembled slightly uncontrollably. He lowered his head, bit his lips tightly with his teeth, trying hard not to scream out with joy.
When the emperor asked, why was it her
Lu Changzai immediately replied respectfully that it was the Empress Dowager who knew that they had all had chickenpox when they were young, so she sent them here to serve the Emperor personally. Yesterday it was the Imperial Concubine, and today it was her turn.
After hearing Lu Changzai's explanation, Mu Yuanxiu's face became even darker. There was actually another woman. He thought that Rong Si would be the only one to take care of him in the next half month. Why was there another woman? That woman was so generous? Seeing that she was pushing this time to spend with him to someone else, did she really have no interest in him at all
Mu Yuanxiu seemed to be gritting his teeth.
He glanced at Lu Changzai who was kneeling on the ground again, his eyes turned cold. If she doesn't come, does it mean that I still care about her? If she doesn't come, Lu Changzai will still take good care of him!
So Mu Yuanxiu called the woman kneeling on the ground to stand up, and watched her feed him medicine with a blushing face, and apply ointment on him with trembling hands. When he pushed her down on the bed, she closed her eyes and looked like she was ready to take whatever she wanted.
Such obedience made Mu Yuanxiu's eyes narrow slightly, and then he straightened up irritably. No, no, nothing is right? Why is it wrong
"Your Majesty..." Lu Changzai, who was lying on the bed and thought that she could take this opportunity to get pregnant, opened her eyes and called softly.
"go out."
“Your Majesty…” Lu Changzai looked panicked.
"I told you to get out!"
Mu Yuanxiu now even felt annoyed at looking at this woman for any longer.
Lu Chang sat up with tears in his eyes, packed his clothes, wiped his tears and walked out.
The moment she stepped out of the palace door, Mu Yuanxiu's voice came again coldly, "You don't have to come over tonight!"
"Yes." Lu Changzai bowed aggrievedly.
As soon as he saw her figure completely disappear, Mu Yuanxiu pushed the bookshelf on one side to the ground.
Rong Si!
When he pounced on that woman, all he could think of was Rong Si. Why, why did he think of her? She was just a little prettier, with better skin, a more graceful figure, and clearer eyes...
Forehead…
Why do I keep praising her
I'm crazy, I must be crazy!
Mu Yuanxiu fell onto the bed in disbelief, looking at the tent ceiling embroidered with intricate patterns, not knowing what he was thinking.
Although the person who came the next day was not Lu Changzai, it was another woman, Qi Guiren.
Mu Yuanxiu's face darkened again. How come so many women in his harem had chickenpox? Why so many women? Could it be that Rong Si still took turns to come one day at a time? How could the queen mother dote on her so much and not give her the power here? But since it was arranged by her, why did she have to come one day at a time to serve him? Ah? She was the noble concubine, wasn't she? Should she be treated equally for such a small matter
Therefore, it would be a waste for this woman not to be the queen who rules the country! She knows more about rain, dew, evenly distributed, and wet than the emperor himself.
Mu Yuanxiu sneered, but only he knew that the anger in his heart became even worse. Maybe even he himself didn't understand what he was angry about.
After all, Concubine Qi entered the palace earlier than Concubine Lu, so she served Mu Yuanxiu more seriously and attentively, and even her eyes did not wander around. She was not like Concubine Lu before who seduced Mu Yuanxiu all the time. However, Mu Yuanxiu's anger was not calmed much, because in his opinion, Concubine Qi was almost the same as the little palace maids and eunuchs who served him before. It was almost like going back to the old days.
He did not ask to drive Concubine Qi away, and let her serve him for the whole day.
Next was Concubine Hui. She was smarter than Concubine Qi. She asked someone to find a sedan chair to take him to take a bath. The room was also cleaned extra cleanly. However, the washing this time was not as thrilling as the first time. Mu Yuanxiu even recalled that after he took a bath last time, he asked the group of eunuchs to send him back wrapped in quilts. He felt that he was extremely stupid.
I think Rong Si wanted to laugh at him at that time, so she deliberately asked someone to wrap him up in a quilt and toss him back and forth.
However, he had already asked the young eunuch before. These women served him, and Rong Si should be there tomorrow. This made Mu Yuanxiu feel a little excited.
He is the emperor, Rong Si is just his concubine. She has to do whatever he wants her to do. He can torment her however he wants. He can do this, this, this...
Mu Yuanxiu, who had been thinking about how to torture Rong Si for almost the entire night, felt like he fell into a deep dream. He felt as if he was being roasted on a stove all night. He could hear people walking around, the screams of the eunuchs and palace maids, the sound of the imperial physician coming in to take his pulse, Lu Chang's sobbing, the worried voice of Guiren Qi, the self-blaming and fear of Concubine Hui, and of course the calm questioning of Rong Si.
"… Fever again? How could this happen? Have you prescribed the medicine? Okay, I'll ask the eunuchs to go down and boil the medicine immediately. It's most important to wake the emperor up now. Okay, stop crying. I'll stay here and serve you. It was my turn today. Concubine Hui, don't blame yourself. It has nothing to do with you carrying the emperor to be cleaned. I have my own instructions for the Empress Dowager. It's getting late now. Concubine Lu is not feeling well. You guys go down first! Want to stay here? That's fine, but Concubine Lu must go down and rest. Concubine Qi, you and Concubine Hui will stay here with me and wait for the emperor to wake up... Is the medicine here? Give it to me..."
Mu Yuanxiu saw a blue body gradually approaching him in a daze. The faint scent of magnolia on her body clearly hinted at who she was.
Mu Yuanxiu felt the other party scooped a spoonful of medicine and started to put it into his mouth. Different from the previous times when she was rude and caught him off guard, this time Rong Si's movements were particularly gentle. Not only that, because he clenched his teeth too tightly, the medicine flowed down, and she used a handkerchief to gently wipe it off for him.
Mu Yuanxiu tried to feed him the medicine several times but failed to get it into his mouth. He could clearly feel that the other party was getting a little anxious.
"Empress, what should we do if the medicine cannot be fed into the body?" The little palace maid beside her looked anxiously at Rong Si who was sitting beside the bed.
Even the usually calm Concubine Hui was a little frightened at this moment, and her tears flowed freely.
Why did she have to send the emperor to take a bath? Why did she have to take the lead? Now it’s over, it’s over. If the emperor really gets into trouble because of her sending him off, the entire Li family will probably be buried with the emperor. It’s over, it’s over. It’s all her fault that she still wanted to compete with Rong Si at this time. It’s all her fault. I heard that Rong Si did this on the first day, so she wanted to do the same. Why? She’s finished... Completely finished...
Even Concubine Qi, who was standing next to Concubine Hui, felt nervous and started to shed tears.
Rong Si couldn't help feeling annoyed when she heard the sobbing sound behind her. Mu Yuanxiu in front of her had a red face with fever and seemed to be talking nonsense.
Seeing this, Rong Si frowned, turned her head to take a look at the black medicine, brought it to her mouth and took a gulp.
"Empress!" the little palace maids exclaimed in unison.
Mu Yuanxiu was frightened by the cry and shivered. Then he felt something soft and wet on his almost cracked lips. Before he could react, his tightly clenched teeth were pried apart by the soft tip of the tongue, and a cool stream of liquid flowed in. Then the other party withdrew without any reluctance and came closer again...
The tips of their tongues occasionally intertwined and touched lightly, which always made Mu Yuanxiu's heart skip a beat.
It was Rong Si, she was feeding him medicine with her own mouth...
As Mu Yuanxiu thought of this, the throbbing in his heart became more and more obvious.
Rong Si, Rong Si...
He called the name in his heart, and tried hard to open his eyes slightly. He happened to meet a pair of bright and moist eyes, which were almost filled with worry and fear, and touched the softest part of his heart.
It turns out that although she is harsh in her words, she has always been so worried about herself
After just one look, Mu Yuanxiu fainted due to lack of support, and he didn't even know what happened afterwards.
When he regained consciousness, he felt that the room was quiet and pitch black, but he felt something soft and warm in his hand. He turned his head slightly and saw Rong Si sitting at the foot of the couch in front of his bed. She was holding his hand with her right hand and sleeping soundly with her face resting on his arm.
Then, he didn't know what he was dreaming about, his hand suddenly moved, and he woke up with a start. Before she opened her eyes, Mu Yuanxiu quickly closed his eyes, but his heart started beating fast. He felt inexplicably guilty, but he didn't even know what he was feeling guilty about.
Then he felt Rong Si pull her hand out of his, stand up, bend down, touch his forehead, and mutter, "Fortunately the fever has subsided..."
But despite saying this, she still wrung out a towel from the basin beside her and wiped his forehead and neck with it. Then she sat down quietly, held his hand, and rubbed it against her cheek.
He heard her sigh softly, "Do you think this is retribution?"
Such an opening immediately made Mu Yuanxiu feel cold in his heart.
"Well... it must be retribution, that's right. I entered the palace for you, but you treated me like that, you pretended to be nice to me because of my family background and my father. I'm so beautiful, but you never see me. Why? I thought you would be unable to walk when you saw my face. It's also because I'm too arrogant. You are an emperor, what kind of beauty have you not seen? I have always had a bad reputation, and my temper is bad and I can't change it. It's normal that you don't like me! But it doesn't matter if I lost to Xue Yuqiu. She is also beautiful, and I am willing to lose. Why should I lose to that Shao Qingwei? She is so ugly, you can't find her among the shameful people. She is stupid and arrogant. Yes, I deliberately teased her at the beginning, I deliberately made fun of her, I... I am not willing to accept it!"
At this point, Rong Si actually felt that she was wronged and actually opened her mouth and bit the back of Mu Yuanxiu's hand. Mu Yuanxiu closed his eyes, endured the pain, and listened to her continue.
"You... you may have forgotten that the first time we met was also in this palace. You must have forgotten. At that time, the Queen Mother summoned me to the palace to accompany her. I took Lian Qiu to play shuttlecock in the Queen Mother's yard. As a result, the shuttlecock fell on the tree. You climbed up the tree to get it down for me. I said thank you to you and then someone took you away... Later, I came to the palace to see you several times. Every time, you were either reading with your head shaking or riding a horse and shooting arrows in fear. Even when you cried, you hid and cried alone. I wanted to comfort you at that time, but someone took you away the next second, and I couldn't find you..."
As she spoke, there was some regret in Rong Si's voice.
"When you grew up and became the emperor, I secretly met you a few times and thought you were getting more and more handsome, more handsome than my brother and my father. I wanted to... I wanted to marry you..."
As she spoke, Rong Si smiled, and even Mu Yuanxiu couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth.
"But I didn't expect that you don't like me at all. That's fine, but you're still mistaking a fake for a real thing. Look, Shao Qingwei never came to see you or asked about you after you got sick. I still came to take care of you, but sometimes I was so angry that I didn't want to see you. But you were sick, what could I do..."
As Rong Si spoke, her voice became lower, and she fell asleep again with her arm as a pillow. She must have been very sleepy. She didn't know how many times she woke up and how many times she wiped her own body that night.
Thinking of this, Mu Yuanxiu couldn't help but feel his heart as gentle as spring water.
He opened his eyes slightly, looked down at Rong Si sleeping soundly with her hand in his hand, and his heart softened even more.
Did Rong Si already know him? He seemed to remember that she often came to visit his mother when she was a child. Did she notice him at that time? She even thought about marrying him when she grew up. What about him
What kind of idiotic things had he done? He ignored her, didn't care about her, used her as a shield to protect Shao Qingwei, used the most sinister intentions to speculate about her, slandered her, and even wanted to... kill her!
As soon as the last three words appeared in Mu Yuanxiu's mind, he couldn't help feeling a little scared and trembling.
If, if he really did it...
No, no, no ifs, no whatsoever, Rong Si is still by his side, still accompanying him, and still caring about him.
It’s not late, not late, not late at all.
Thinking of this, Mu Yuanxiu slightly clenched Rong Si's hand.
He will definitely cherish and care about her in the future.
The moment her hand was clenched, the corner of Rong Si's mouth, hidden behind her clothes, slightly raised.
Done.
Fortunately, she recalled for so long that she finally found Mu Yuanxiu's figure in the original owner's memory which was full of Mu Lianxuan, and she even pulled him in.
But, even if she was just acting, so what? Mu Yuanxiu didn't know, and he was still very moved. That was enough.
The current favorability of the scumbag Mu Yuanxiu.
The next day, when Mu Yuanxiu woke up, he found that Rong Si, who had been lying beside his bed, was gone, and the person standing in front of him was Lu Changzai.
Seeing that he woke up, Lu Chang was delighted. She just came to visit the emperor, but who would have thought that she would find that Rong Si, the woman, was not here, and the emperor actually opened his eyes.
She rolled her eyes, rushed forward, and grabbed Mu Yuanxiu's hand, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you are finally awake. I have been guarding you all night and finally woke you up. This is also an explanation to the Empress Dowager."
Seeing that the woman was already shedding tears with such sincerity, Mu Yuanxiu felt cold in his heart. She had stayed with him all night? Then was he dreaming about what he saw Rong Si and heard her say in the middle of the night? Didn't the woman pass away early because of illness? When had she stayed with him all night? Was she saying this to take credit for Rong Si's contribution or because she thought he was so stupid and useless that he couldn't tell the truth from the false
Mu Yuanxiu stared at the woman crying with cold eyes until she slowly stopped crying. Then he said, "Where is Concubine Rong? Are you still resting? Concubine Lu, you should go down and rest as soon as you feel unwell. Don't let it turn into a serious illness!"
Upon hearing what Mu Yuanxiu said, Lu Changzai's face turned pale.
The emperor knows, the emperor knows, he knows everything...
It’s over, it’s over, it’s over…
Lu Changzai collapsed on the ground. After Rong Si finished washing up and pushed open the door of the palace, she saw the two people, one sitting on the bed and the other sitting on the ground. However, Lu Changzai seemed to have an ugly look on his face.
Rong Si frowned and took two steps forward, "Lu Changzai, if you feel unwell, go down and rest first. The emperor has me, Concubine Qi, and Concubine Hui here, so you don't have to worry too much."
"Yes... yes, I'll take my leave."
When Lu Changzai heard Rong Si say that she was not feeling well, he couldn't help but shudder all over. Then he didn't dare to look in the direction of Mu Yuanxiu. He bowed his head, saluted, and retreated.
Seeing that woman leaving with a look of despair, Rong Si couldn't help but become more curious. She turned her head to look in the direction of Mu Yuanxiu, and found that he looked energetic again. She couldn't help but curl her lips.
When Mu Yuanxiu saw Rong Si looking at him, he turned his head away with a slightly red face, and then heard Rong Si mutter mercilessly, "The evil will stay for a thousand years, I know..."
His face darkened again, but when he thought about the kind of person Rong Si was, who never said anything nice to you in front of you, but cared about him more than anyone else, he was not so angry anymore.
Rong Si saw that she spoke so rudely and Mu Yuanxiu had no intention of retorting. Although she looked a little strange, she was already smiling in her heart.
Not bad, not bad, last night's performance was very good.
You can argue with him as much as you can in the future. The more you argue with him, the happier he may be!
Mu Yuanxiu recovered quickly under the care of Rong Si and others.
But as soon as Rong Si left the Palace of Tranquil Longevity, she immediately heard that Mu Lianxuan had already returned, but Shao Qingwei was missing. No one knew where she had gone, and even Mu Yuanxiu did not investigate her whereabouts.
Because Mu Yuanxiu had just recovered but the Queen Mother was still ill, Mu Yuanxiu decided to take the Queen Mother to the Huguo Temple thousands of miles away to burn incense and pray for the Queen Mother's health and safety, and to ensure peace and harmony in the Great Wei.
In just two days, he brought a lot of people, including five concubines including Rong Si and Xue Yuqiu, one hundred palace maids and eunuchs, and even Mu Lianxuan went along.
At the city gate, Rong Si pulled open the curtain of the carriage and looked out the window at Mu Lianxuan, who was riding on a horse with a dashing figure, and bit her lip.
The other person seemed to sense her gaze and looked over at her instantly.
A hint of surprise flashed across Rong Si's eyes.
Yes, don’t look at others, you are next.
Mu Lianxuan sneered in his heart and naturally withdrew his gaze.
A fickle woman!
After he came back, he had heard that his good brother was most likely infected with smallpox, and Rong Si was sent by the Queen Mother to take care of him.
He was secretly excited for a while. He didn't care whether Rong Si died or not, but if Mu Yuanxiu died, he would be the only one who benefited.
So even when he learned that Mu Yuanxiu had only chickenpox and would recover soon, he was already excited and could not suppress his desire. He volunteered to lead the team to the Huguo Temple this time.
There is no other reason. The emperor has been passed down from generation to generation, and it is now his turn.
He prepared "good things" to entertain his good brother in the Huguo Temple.
As for Rong Si, as long as Rong Feizhou is there, she can live safely.
If Rong Feizhou is gone, huh...
