A meal, finished in embarrassment.
Duan Changchuan was only fed a bite by Bai Su at the beginning, and then he ate it himself with the spoon and chopsticks.
After taking the medicine, I started acupuncture.
The nine-year-old kid does things methodically and smoothly.
Duan Changchuan was stabbed twice by Yu Sheng, and he almost didn't feel any burden in his heart. He could even talk to him: "Can I take a bath today?"
He didn't take a shower yesterday, and he was sweating all over because of the pain, so he felt like he stunk.
The boy inserted the last needle steadily into the acupuncture point and nodded: "Okay, but not for too long, and don't use too hot water. I'll go back and prepare some warming and tonic herbs for your majesty, and then put them in the bathtub, and your majesty can take a medicinal bath."
Then he lit a stick of incense and put it in the incense burner.
The fragrance of burning medicinal herbs wafts up along with the gray smoke.
Changle quickly bent down to pack his things for him and asked, "Young Master, do you have anything else to tell Your Majesty? The sun is shining brightly today, Your Majesty, can you sit outside for a while?"
"It's OK. Just go down the stairs slowly and be careful not to fall. But you can only walk around in the yard and not go out." After saying that, he looked at Duan Changchuan seriously and said, "Your Majesty, please don't be angry these days. I took your pulse today and found that the Qi in your body is still stagnant. Are you secretly angry again?"
When he spoke, he looked very angry.
"I've already told you that Your Majesty should not be angry again. Why are you angry again? If Your Majesty continues to disobey the doctor's orders, Yu Sheng will be angry too."
The emperor of a country was taught a lesson by a nine-year-old kid...
No matter how you look at it, it's embarrassing. Duan Changchuan is really angry. He feels guilty towards Yu Sheng and Bai Su at the same time, and dares not say a word to refute.
Changle quickly came to the rescue: "Your Majesty is also helpless."
"Yusheng heard from the brothers and sisters in the courtyard yesterday that the Queen Mother felt that although Yusheng was young, he could not be trusted, so she asked others to come and re-examine for Your Majesty. Yusheng is young, and it is normal for others to not trust him. If you want to convince others, you have to rely on accumulation. Every time you are questioned, it is an opportunity to prove yourself to others. If you are always angry and have no way to prove yourself, then others will question you even more, which is not worth the loss."
The nine-year-old boy grew up under the protection of his master and mentor, and has not yet been baptized by the secular world. He is like a piece of clean and clear jade. Although his words are naive, they have their own philosophy.
Duan Changchuan listened quietly without missing a word...
After a moment of silence, he suddenly laughed and said, "Young Master is right. I have learned my lesson."
The little kid waved his hands at him and said, "Your Majesty, please don't be polite. Master said that the patient's mood is also very important and needs to be relieved from time to time. The medicine will be more effective when the patient is in a good mood."
Bai Su also echoed: "Young Master is right. I will take care of and comfort your Majesty."
"Yes! You need to relieve yourself. Your Majesty has a serious qi stagnation and has been feeling depressed for too long. If it continues, your heart will have serious problems."
Bai Su turned and looked at Duan Changchuan with a smile.
She raised her eyes slightly and asked him, "Did your majesty hear it?"
Duan Changchuan, who was so angry that he cried twice yesterday:…
I realized it late and felt embarrassed.
I wanted to pull the quilt, but then I remembered that I still had needles stuck in my body, and only my most private parts were covered by a warm blanket.
Even more embarrassing.
It's ok to be naked, but I have to be scolded naked...
[These two people have no sense of taste! Don’t I have any dignity? ]
-
An incense stick of time passed quickly, Yu Sheng pulled out the needle, and Bai Su immediately covered him with a quilt to keep him warm.
The young gentleman obviously valued this set of needles very much. After removing the needles, he wiped each one several times with a clean cloth, then put them back into the bag specially for needles and placed them neatly in the special compartment of the medicine box.
Duan Changchuan looked at Yu Sheng's movements and suddenly said, "I have another question for you."
The child immediately raised his head and stood up straight: "Ah? Your Majesty, please ask."
The young man lying on the bed thought for a long time... Then he slowly said: "I don't know why, I forgot a lot of things... I wonder if there is a solution to this problem?"
A look of bewilderment flashed across Yu Sheng's face. "Forgetting many things? There are many reasons for amnesia... Some people forget things when they hit their heads, while others forget everything after a good night's sleep when they encounter sad things. So... it depends on why Your Majesty forgot."
Speaking of amnesia...
The boy shut up again.
Duan Changchuan wanted to know whether he could completely recover the memories of the other world, and also wanted to know whether he could get back the part of his memories that were missing in this world.
After all, how did such a large bag of arsenic disappear, and what did I do with it...
If I can't figure this matter out, it will always be on my mind and I always feel bad.
But how should he explain it to Yu Sheng
It is not appropriate to say that he lost his memory because of poison and soul travel.
So, after thinking for a long time, I could only utter one sentence: "I don't quite remember..."
"Ah... Well, Yusheng is not very skilled. We have to wait for Master to come back before making a diagnosis... However, Yusheng will go back and look up medical books carefully! Your Majesty, can you be more specific? For example, how did you find out that you have lost your memory, and what happened before you lost your memory?"
When asked about the specific details, the boy was completely speechless.
In the end, Changle sighed deeply and said, "Your Majesty actually... I don't remember."
"Ah... Your Majesty, you don't remember? You don't remember anything about what happened before you lost your memory?"
"Your Majesty has no impression..."
"It's a bit difficult..."
"Yeah, I think so too."
At the end of the conversation, the big and the small looked at each other and let out a long sigh together.
Seeing that the atmosphere was starting to get weird again, Bai Su quickly interrupted the two of them and said, "Why don't we wait for Doctor Fang to come back before discussing this? Yusheng has worked hard this morning, so Changle should send him back first?"
The little boy scratched his head and said, "Okay... Yusheng will go back and check again, and then I will take your Majesty's pulse tomorrow and take a closer look."
Then he picked up the medicine box and went out with Changle.
-
Since there was no one else in the room, Duan Changchuan simply turned over and took a nap.
When I woke up, the room was quiet and there was no one in sight.
The sun still shone through the window lattice, leaving a bright white light a few inches away from the window.
In the incense burner on the table, smoke is rising from the calming incense.
The scent of peony is still there, soothing me with every breath.
The young man put on his clothes, put on a coat and went to the outer hall. As soon as the door of the hall was opened, he saw the woman sitting in the courtyard.
The robe was bright red with a phoenix embroidered with gold thread, which glowed golden under the sunlight.
After hearing the noise, he immediately turned around and looked at him.
Before hearing the voice, I saw the other person's eyes curved.
"Are you awake? How are you? Are you still feeling uncomfortable?"
She asked softly, immediately putting down what she was holding and walking towards him.
The young man shook his head: "No... I'm fine, don't worry."
Then he looked curiously at what she had placed on the stone table: "What are you doing?"
"I'll make you a little thing," she said.
Then he took him to the table.
It was a small wooden sculpture, uh...like a cut pipe.
He curiously put the two halves of the tube together and looked at Bai Su through the tube.
"Is it a mechanism? Or something else?"
The woman lifted her chin in thought, looked at him in the tube, and said, "Hmm... It's a kind of mechanism. It's something that children in my hometown often play with, similar to a slingshot."
The boy immediately put the things back with dignity.
She sat down very gracefully and straightened her robe.
Complaining quietly: "I am not a child..."
After he finished speaking, he realized that there were maids and servants serving him around... and the complaint he just blurted out sounded like a spoiled child.
He quickly cleared his throat and said it again loudly: "I appreciate the Queen's kindness. There is no need to send such childish things in the future."
I heard a low, breathy laugh, and she said indulgently, "Okay, Your Majesty, will you allow me to finish this first? I promise not to send you anything in the future."
"… whatever you like."
As he said this, he lowered his eyes evasively.
I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but I always feel that those burning eyes are still staring at me without blinking.
Even the back of my neck felt slightly hot.
It was not until he heard the sound of knife carving again beside him that he breathed a sigh of relief and realized that all the servants around him were there, except Changle and Yiman.
"Where's Changle?"
He asked.
"While you were asleep, he was fidgeting and looking for something."
"Looking for something... ? He's not still looking for that packet of medicine..."
The boy whispered to himself.
"That should be the case. I didn't ask. He wouldn't tell me anyway if I asked."
Bai Su replied without even raising her head.
This was not just an angry remark, every interest group had its own core members, and Changle was clearly the most core member of Duan Changchuan's group.
The tighter Changle keeps his mouth, the safer Duan Changchuan will be.
But the boy obviously didn't think so. He moved his butt and scratched his sleeves...
The movements are so big that you can't ignore them.
The woman put down the carving knife in her hand and said helplessly: "Duan Changchuan, are you afraid that I will be unhappy?"
The boy's movements really froze.
Without waiting for the kid to reply, Bai Su continued to talk: "I am happy that he didn't tell me. Do you know why many agents serving the country usually complete their tasks independently, only convey information with slogans in designated places, and never get to know their superiors or subordinates? It is to keep secrets to the greatest extent and maintain the core strength of the highest level. It's good that he didn't tell me."
The young man scratched his fingers in shame: "It was me... I was thinking about it wrongly."
Bai Su raised her hand and pinched his cheek, smiling: "No, it's because your majesty has given me enough trust, otherwise, I would have had wild thoughts."
"You...you also have wild thoughts? I thought...you wouldn't come."
The woman laughed softly, "Of course not. No matter how rational you are, you will still make wild guesses about the people and things you care about because of a small matter."
In a word, the answer is: You are the person I care about, and you are the thing I care about, so I will lose my mind and have wild guesses.
Duan Changchuan remembered what Bai Su had said to him yesterday when he had a stomachache:
[I was so scared, I thought I was the one who made you like this. ]
At that time, she was so flustered that she didn't know what to do.
And... after he drove his mother back to Fengxi Palace, Alpha held his hand and shed a tear on him.
In an instant, a warm current surged from the tip of my heart.
[It turns out that she cared about me so much when I didn’t notice it…]
[What should I do? I seem to be caring about her more and more...]
The author has something to say:
I haven’t written the part I wanted to write about… But it’s already past eleven o’clock, so I’ll post it first.
I’ll still do the intensive revision tomorrow during the day.
