[Why didn’t you come back...]
[I counted to two hundred, and you didn't come back...]
The boy was immersed in the pouring rain.
Drops of water rolled down her long eyelashes, and she couldn't tell whether it was rain or something else on her face.
But Bai Su knew that he was crying.
It was raining heavily.
The sound of water echoes in the quiet street.
She raised her hand and stroked his wet cheek, her voice gentle:
"I'm back now. I'll be back soon. Duan Xiaochuan... It's raining so hard, how can you not hold an umbrella? You'll get sick."
After saying that, she held his cold hand.
The moment he held it, he noticed that the boy's entire body was shaking.
My heart was in a knot.
He quickly took off his clothes, covered his head with them, and turned around to call out, "Changle! Go get the sedan chair and the parasol, and bring some warm clothes for His Majesty!"
The young eunuch quickly handed them an umbrella and turned around and ran to the nearest courtyard.
"I will arrange it right away!"
-
Riding on a sedan chair and under a canopy, they finally sent the young man back to the Mingsheng Temple.
"Xiao Man, go call Doctor Fang and tell him that His Majesty has caught a cold from the rain today."
"yes."
"Changle, check if the ginger soup in the kitchen is ready and bring it over to warm His Majesty."
"Hey, I'll go right away."
Ever since Duan Changchuan entered the palace, Bai Su has been giving instructions on various matters.
The woman gently took off his wet robe and gave orders in an orderly manner, as if he was made of glass.
Even though he was a boy who had been spoiled since childhood, he felt a little embarrassed now.
"I just got caught in the rain, it's nothing serious..."
Bai Su looked at the child's red nose and dripping hair and felt like she was going crazy.
How come it doesn’t matter.
This was in ancient times. There were no antibiotics, no injections, and at most, only drips. Even a small cold could be fatal!
Omegas are already delicate, not to mention that their little friend is pregnant with a cub.
She quickly pushed the man to the bed and wrapped him tightly with a quilt.
Then, he picked up the towel, put it on the boy's head and wiped it gently.
The whole person is in a very low mood.
The boy was unusually well behaved. He did not struggle to break free even when being wrapped like a cocoon. He just lay there motionless, allowing her to do whatever she wanted.
His dark eyes would glance over from time to time, peeking at her in what he thought was a covert attempt.
"Hmm... Bai Su..."
The two were silent for a long time, and the boy finally couldn't help but speak.
"Um?"
She whispered back.
"Are you... angry with me?"
Bai Su paused, sighed deeply, and said, "No, I'm just angry with myself..."
If she hadn't gone to look for Lin Qing, her pregnant Omega wouldn't have come out to look for her.
He won't be sad, and won't stand alone in the rain and cry...
"But I think you are angry with me..."
The young man did not feel better after hearing the comfort. Instead, he hung his head in frustration: "I am too stingy... I am the ruler of a country, I should not be so... narrow-minded."
Bai Su was stunned.
According to the rules here, she is his wife.
In modern times, she is the Alpha who marked him and bonded to him forever.
She shouldn't have anything to do with the old guy anymore.
It was clearly her who did something wrong, and the boy only came out to take a look because she did not return within the promised time.
He felt that it was all his fault...
Bai Su could no longer suppress the throbbing in her heart and pulled the man into her arms.
How can someone be so distressing...
"Be good, don't think too much, I'm really not angry with you."
"Besides, you are not narrow-minded. This is how lovers should be... If Your Majesty finds someone else, I will definitely be more narrow-minded than you."
She said, slowly stroking the boy's back.
The child froze...
Bai Su thought that it was such intimate actions that made him uncomfortable.
Who would have thought…
After a long silence, I heard the other party stammer out a stuttering sentence: "I... I am the emperor."
Then, just in case she didn't understand, he added a particularly honest explanation: "In another four years... I will choose concubines... I will choose four."
In a word…
Suddenly, all the ambiguity and charm disappeared without a trace.
Bai Su: …
This feeling... How can I describe it
It’s true that the child is nice, but it’s also true that he doesn’t understand romance... It’s really maddening.
I don’t know whether to be angry or laugh.
If it weren't for the fact that this is the imperial palace and the child hasn't recovered his memory, I would really like to kill him right now.
Let him recognize his own attributes clearly, so that he won’t have to say nonsense like “you have to choose four”.
Just as I was feeling awkward, there was a knock on the door, and someone asked, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the ginger soup in the kitchen is ready. Can I bring it in?"
Before Bai Su could say anything, the young man straightened the blanket on his body and said, "Send it in."
The door was pushed open.
Yiman came in with a steaming bowl of brown sugar ginger soup, and the smell of sweet dates filled the whole room.
Duan Changchuan took it and drank it in small sips.
After a while, Changle also came back.
The young eunuch had a gloomy face and a little tail followed him.
"Your Majesty, Madam, Doctor Fang left the city two days ago, saying that he was going to look for the Immortal Doctor Huang... Doctor Fang left a message, saying that Your Majesty's illness must not be treated by other doctors, and that you can ask his apprentice if you have any questions, so I invited Doctor Hua Xiao to come."
After saying that, he moved aside, revealing a child who was about ten years old.
The little boy was dressed in pink and had a serious face. He was carrying an oversized medicine box on his back.
When he saw Duan Changchuan and Bai Su, he bowed politely: "Hua Yusheng greets your majesty and the queen."
The articulation is clear and the voice is crisp.
Duan Changchuan and Bai Sudu: …
"Master has left the capital to look for Master, saying that he wants to bring Master back to treat His Majesty. He will be back in about half a month. Master asked Yusheng to take good care of His Majesty during this period. I heard from Eunuch Le that His Majesty got caught in the rain at night and caught a cold. Could Yusheng feel His Majesty's pulse first?"
Now that things have come to this, if I don’t say it, it would seem like I look down on the child.
Duan Changchuan and Bai Su looked at each other, put on thick clothes, and went to the table to take the patient's pulse.
A chubby little hand stretched out two fingers and placed them on his wrist.
The owner of the little hand sat on a chair, his legs were in the air, but his expression was extremely serious. But looking at this scene, it really felt like he had been practicing medicine for many years.
After examining for a while, the boy looked at Duan Changchuan with a pair of sparkling eyes and said, "Before leaving, Master told me not to reveal the emperor's condition before he came back, so I won't say much. I will write a prescription for your majesty, and please ask Eunuch Changle to boil the medicine. It's best to find a deserted place. If anyone asks, just say that the Empress got caught in the rain and I boiled the medicine for her."
As he spoke, he took the paper and pen handed to him by Changle and began to write word by word.
The handwriting is childish, but also beautiful.
"Yusheng, right? How old are you this year?"
Bai Su asked him as she watched.
The little boy said without raising his head, "Your Majesty, Yusheng just turned nine this year, but he started learning pharmacology at the age of three, and has been learning medicine for six years under the guidance of his master and his master. Your Majesty's pulse looks good, and this cold is not a serious illness. Yusheng can see it. Your Majesty, don't worry."
Although he is young, he speaks clearly.
After writing one, he folded it and handed it to Changle, and whispered: "Eunuch, go to Master's place to find the medicine boy to get the medicine. I will write some precautions for your majesty."
After saying that, he smelled the lingering ginger soup in the air and nodded with satisfaction: "Red dates, shredded ginger and brown sugar, it's a good solution. Your Majesty, remember to keep warm when you go out in the future, don't run or jump, be careful when you move, and don't fall. There are many things you should and shouldn't eat, Yusheng has written them down, your majesty must always remember, the first three months are the most important. Oh, yes, sex between husband and wife is strictly prohibited."
When it comes to the intimacy between husband and wife, Hua Yusheng doesn't hide anything at all.
Bai Su secretly glanced at the Omega who was beginning to feel embarrassed and angry again, and forced a smile.
"Okay, thank you, Dr. Xiaohua."
The little boy waved his hands solemnly and answered in a serious tone: "Don't be polite, Madam. Practicing medicine and saving lives is my duty."
Then he wrote two full pages of paper, put it under his lips to dry, and then held it in both hands and presented it to Duan Changchuan.
"Your Majesty, please read and memorize all of it. It's getting late, so Yusheng will go home first. Your Majesty, drink the cold-repelling medicine and go to sleep. Remember to keep warm at night. If you still feel uncomfortable, you can call Yusheng."
"I understand. Thank you, Yusheng."
"Your Majesty, please don't be polite. This is what Yusheng should do."
-
At night, Duan Changchuan took the medicine and went to bed.
Bai Su used the excuse that the couch on the side was too cold and shamelessly squeezed forward.
Although the two of them slept in two separate beds, she was not worried at all. After all, once the child fell asleep, she would just scoop him up and he would come over obediently.
Changle blew out the candle, leaving only a dim light.
The light and shadow flickered, and the room was silent.
This was the first time the two of them slept together while sober since their wedding night.
The fragrance of peony spread continuously. Duan Changchuan lay in it, smelling the soothing pheromones... He couldn't help but think of the time when he and Bai Su were intimate.
She hugged him and kissed the corner of his lips.
He had slept on top of her more than once... The feeling of being hugged was warm and comfortable.
When my eyes are closed, my thoughts drift here and there.
When he came to his senses, he had already moved a head's distance towards the other person.
He moved a little, and when he felt something warm... he realized that his legs had been stretched into the other person's quilt without him knowing when.
!!!
No wonder this foot feels so warm.
Pull back quickly!
But suddenly he was held again.
I opened my eyes and saw an unconcealable smile in the other person's narrow and beautiful eyes.
"Don't move, your feet are too cold."
Then, she lifted the quilt openly and asked him, "Your Majesty, do you want to come over? Didn't you say before that you would have the pleasure of visiting me?"
As he spoke, he rested one arm on his chin and his hair was scattered on the pillow.
His clothes were disheveled, and his bare feet were placed on his abdomen.
Suddenly, all the blood in my body rushed to my face.
He quickly put his feet back into his quilt, turned around and said to her, "I... I can't have sex now, but I will definitely have sex with you when I can... in the future. You, don't be anxious, what is yours will eventually be yours."
The sound of the quilt turning came from behind.
In the darkness, a faint laugh was heard.
"Yes, Your Majesty is mine. I will definitely wait for you, Your Majesty, please don't regret it."
"Who... who wants to go back on their word? It was you who clearly rejected me twice."
"Oh? Your Majesty remembers the number so clearly."
"It was only twice, of course I remember it clearly! My memory has always been good."
"Okay, I understand. Go to sleep, my majesty."
"I wanted to sleep a long time ago."
"knew."
"… "
It sounds so perfunctory!
