Shen Xihe came back. She had been gone for seven or eight days, taking medicinal baths and bone-removing pills continuously. Xie Yunhuai was in the hunting ground and had no time to take care of her. So the next morning after she came back, Xie Yunhuai came to her house and personally took her pulse.
Naturally, he also noticed Zhenzhu who was standing closest to Shen Xihe. He lowered his eyes to hide the disappointment in his eyes: "The princess has recovered very well. It seems that there will be no more accidents. I heard that the princess also frightened the horse this time, but it was not injured. There is hope that the princess will be as healthy as a normal person."
Shen Xihe: "When I was startled by the horse, I couldn't breathe smoothly and my heart was stabbing with pain."
"The princess is inevitably panicked when the horse is startled suddenly. The princess' body has not yet recovered to normal. It is normal to have some tingling. The princess does not need to worry." Xie Yunhuai comforted, "The princess' condition has not worsened, which is fortunate."
"I can recover and recover from my illness thanks to you." Shen Xihe was truly grateful, "I owe Doctor Qi a great favor. Doctor Qi must give me a chance to repay me in the future."
"The princess said that we are close friends. It is natural for close friends to help each other. If I seek rewards, it will tarnish this friendship." Xie Yunhuai said with a smile.
Shen Xihe turned around, took the letter from Zhenzhu and handed it to Xie Yunhuai: "Doctor Qi, this is my heartfelt gift. As close friends, I cannot refuse."
Xie Yunhuai took it and opened it, feeling as if he had found a treasure. He turned the pages carefully and cherished it very much. After reading a few pages, he couldn't help but feel happy: "It is a gift from a close friend, so I must treasure it."
Shen Xihe also smiled and invited Xie Yunhuai to have breakfast together. Xie Yunhuai came early today and indeed had not had breakfast, so he did not refuse.
But after using it, Xie Yunhuai said: "The princess is getting better day by day, and she already knows the method of medicinal bath. With Zhenzhu and Ah Xi by her side, even if something happens, there is no need for me to help. I will not come here again in the future. If the princess has other instructions, please send someone to find me."
Shen Xihe asked: "Doctor Qi will not leave the capital?"
"No." Xie Yunhuai answered firmly.
"Doctor Qi, what do you think of me... Who do you think of me?" Shen Xihe suddenly asked.
Xie Yunhuai was slightly startled, then he became serious: "Princess, I once fell in love with you."
Shen Xihe frowned.
She was a person who didn't quite understand the relationship between men and women. She and Xie Yunhuai were frank with each other. She admired Xie Yunhuai and it had nothing to do with love between men and women. But she was not sure whether Xie Yunhuai felt the same way, so she asked clearly. If Xie Yunhuai was the same as her, she would not care about the world's eyes and would continue to be frank with Xie Yunhuai like two boys.
But Xie Yunhuai said that he had fallen in love with her.
Not missing the solemnity in Shen Xihe's eyes, Xie Yunhuai said: "I was in love with you once, but only for a moment. But the princess and I are extremely imaginative people."
"Imagine?" Shen Xihe was puzzled.
"We are all too clear-headed to do something knowing it is impossible." Xie Yunhuai's eyes were calm and his smile was wide, "The princess and I are not destined to be together. If that's the case, I won't allow myself to get deeper and deeper.
Now I treat the princess as a friend, a bosom friend."
Shen Xihe examined Xie Yunhuai, looking deeply into his eyes. He did not dodge or evade, but looked at him frankly.
She believed every word he said and smiled, "Why don't you treat me as your sister?"
Xie Yunhuai shook his head: "The strange man treated the woman as his sister. In fact, deep down in his heart, he felt that the woman was weak and could not be compared with him. She needed his protection, so he treated her as his sister. It has nothing to do with age.
