Compared to the cold-blooded Gu Qingzhi, Shen Xihe is more resolute and ruthless.
After understanding what Xiao Changqing meant, Xiao Changying had to face the question: "Our mother, how could you not know? If I try to persuade her now, it will only anger her more."
Reaching out and patting Xiao Changying on the shoulder, Xiao Changqing said: "After all, she is our mother. I will protect her life. As for the rest, you can decide for yourself how much you can give her. If you are really distressed, go find Pingling. Mother is the one who listens to him the most."
Xiao Changqing didn't want to be an enemy of Shen Xihe. Firstly, he had other things to do and didn't want to make a strong enemy. Secondly, Shen Xihe was an old friend of Gu Qingzhi. If they couldn't be friends, it would be best not to be enemies.
Xiao Changying was in distress. He couldn't bear to deal with such things.
"Do I want to be like you and lie in the East Palace?" The imperial physician from the Imperial Medical Bureau came and went, but Xiao Huayong still pressed Shen Xihe on the bed, not allowing her to get off easily.
"You have to believe what I say. It will take two days for you to gain the trust of His Majesty and leave the capital for the northwest as soon as possible." Xiao Huayong was sitting on the edge of the bed. Zhenzhu happened to bring a decoction of medicine. It looked like a decoction of medicine, but in fact it was a medicinal soup. It still smelled like medicine from a distance.
Xiao Huayong reached out to take it and wanted to feed Shen Xihe.
Shen Xihe felt uncomfortable, she sat up and said, "I can drink by myself."
"Yoyo, you must always remember that you are too frightened and tired right now. Don't let your guard down just because someone is gone." Xiao Huayong avoided Shen Xihe's hand that was about to take the bowl, "Isn't that what I did in the palace?"
Shen Xihe looked at him quietly. He had the nerve to mention the palace. He was just making excuses to be a rogue in the palace and wanted her to serve him. It was nothing like always remembering that he was a seriously ill person so as not to reveal himself easily.
Now that he was speaking so righteously, he still wanted to take advantage of her!
The pair of obsidian-like eyes were sharp and penetrating, and Xiao Huayong was completely unscathed. He remained serious: "Yoyo won't lie, so we should always be more cautious. We just need to practice more."
As he spoke, he fed the soup to her lips. Shen Xihe looked at him for a long time. He still smiled and waited patiently for her to drink the soup.
In the end, Shen Xihe was defeated and opened his mouth, but his eyes were fixed on Xiao Huayong the whole time.
Anyone with a guilty conscience would not be able to withstand such a gaze, but Xiao Huayong had his own interpretation: "Although I am a stunningly handsome man, I cannot resist your greedy gaze."
Shen Xihe was also poisoned by Xiao Huayong and had some self-control. She did not look away because of his words. She continued to stare at him without saying a word, expressionless.
The bowl of soup was finished. Xiao Huayong took a handkerchief and wiped the soup stains on Shen Xihe's lips. As he wiped, he moved his head closer and closer. Finally, he couldn't resist and leaned forward. No matter how he tried to instigate her, Shen Xihe seemed indifferent.
Finally, Xiao Huayong bit her lightly, then leaned over to her ear and whispered, "Your husband is so beautiful, Madam, you are staring at me like this, are you hungry..."
The last three words linger for a very long time, which is full of suggestive meaning.
The warm breath gently slid across his neck, causing Shen Xihe to tilt his head uncomfortably and push him away.
Xiao Huayong was pushed to the edge of the couch by Shen Xihe's force. He propped up his head with one hand and blinked his eyes with moles on the corners at Shen Xihe: "You can pick them at will."
