Tingyun went out of the palace to do some work on the pretext of buying things for Si Que. When he came back this morning, he learned that Si Que was ill. Seeing Tingyun coming back, Liu Feng was relieved.
Tingyun hurriedly gave Si Que an acupuncture, and then wrote a prescription for Liu Feng to get the medicine. You Yuji had previously told the storeroom that the princess was not in good health, and if she came to get medicine, she should be given all the medicine.
Liu Feng quickly took the medicine back and said with a smile, "So Madam told me to do that. I thought the warehouse would be in trouble, so I was planning to go out and buy some."
"How to fry it is written all over. You go first, I'll come over later." Tingyun instructed.
Liu Feng responded and hurried to boil the medicine.
She had not been working for Si Que as long as Ting Yun, and now that Ting Yun was back, she felt like she had found a backbone. God knows, when Si Que came back at dawn this morning, his face was pale and he almost fainted, which scared her half to death.
Liu Feng went to the small kitchen and boiled the medicine carefully according to what Ting Yun had written. After a while, Ting Yun finished his work and rushed to the small kitchen to work with Liu Feng.
Si Que’s medicine is somewhat complicated, and there is more than one dose.
"A strange thing happened during the two days you were away." Liu Feng lowered his voice, "The Crown Prince's wife stayed in the princess' room for two consecutive nights."
Tingyun was stunned for a moment, subconsciously not believing it: "Crown Prince's Consort?"
Liu Feng nodded vigorously, frowning as he explained, "You know, our princess is weak, so I go up to check on her sometimes at night. On the first night, I saw with my own eyes that the princess slept on the wooden couch while holding the Crown Prince's Consort! On the second night, she didn't sleep with the Crown Prince's Consort, one in the inner room and the other in the outer room. But! But!"
Liu Feng raised his hands and continued, "But on the second night, the princess played the song "Yun Ling Fu" for the Crown Prince's wife. It wasn't any other song, it was "Yun Ling Fu"! When has our princess ever talked about this song to anyone else..."
As Tingyun listened, his brows began to frown.
Liu Feng came close to Ting Yun, squinted his eyes and continued, "Last night the princess asked me to go and invite the Crown Prince's wife, but the Crown Prince's wife had to go back to her parents' home yesterday and was not in the mansion. Then the princess disappeared for the whole night. Where do you think our princess went?"
Tingyun’s brows furrowed deeper and deeper.
Liu Feng shrank closer to Ting Yun, and said anxiously, "Will our princess not be satisfied with using her own body to make poison, and will she start using other people's bodies to make poison?"
"What are you thinking about?" Tingyun was stunned for a moment and spoke in a stiff tone.
Liu Feng was also stunned by her question and whispered: "Isn't it?"
Tingyun's frown gradually relaxed, and he said meaningfully, "Yu Shi is extremely beautiful."
Liu Feng blinked, and blinked again.
At this time, You Yuzhi arrived with pillow quilt. Tingyun and Liufeng stopped talking. Tingyun stayed in the kitchen to boil medicine, while Liufeng went out to entertain them.
Before meeting Si Que, You Yuji had learned from Liu Feng that Si Que was ill. Liu Feng naturally would not say that Si Que had left the palace last night, but only said that Si Que caught a cold when it rained last night, and he was weak anyway.
You Yuji originally wanted to ask the imperial physician for help, but she learned from Liufeng that Tingyun was very good at medicine, and it was Tingyun who had been treating Si Que over the years.
She tiptoed to Si Que's bed and saw that Si Que was sleeping peacefully, his face was pale and bloodless. You Yuji sat down beside the bed, carefully took Si Que's left hand, and peeled off the white gauze layer by layer. She moved gently, looking up at Si Que from time to time, for fear of waking the princess.
The gauze was completely untied. You Yuji saw the wound on Si Que's palm and couldn't help but frown, complaining in her heart that she could cut her hand with a knife. She applied the warm and cool silver cream with her fingertips and gently applied it on Si Que's wound. After applying the medicine to Si Que and rebandaging it, You Yuji gently put his hand down. She lowered her eyes to look at Si Que's hand, and was surprised that the princess's hand was so long, much longer than her fingers. She then laughed, because the princess was much taller than her.
The country was destroyed and she was forced to leave her hometown. Her family members were suffering in prison, and the princess was sick again... The princess must be feeling very uncomfortable, right
You Yuzhi raised her eyes and gazed quietly at the sleeping Si Que, hoping in her heart that the princess would get better soon.
You Yuji looked at Si Que, while Liu Feng beside him was looking at You Yuji. Liu Feng looked at You Yuji quietly, and then secretly glanced at the sleeping Si Que, his bright eyes turned around, and no one knew what he was thinking about.
The quilt under Si Que suddenly moved slightly. You Yuji couldn't help but feel a little strange, because the princess's hands were clearly outside the quilt. She glanced at Si Que, leaned over carefully, and gently lifted the corner of the quilt.
A pure black kitten was sleeping quietly beside Si Que. The quilt had just moved, and it was the kitten that was turning over, from lying on its side to lying on its back, belly facing up. It was still sleeping and purring.
You Yuji looked back at Liu Feng in confusion.
Liu Feng explained in a low voice: "It rained last night, and the princess felt sorry for the cat so she brought it back."
You Yuji looked at the sleeping kitten and said softly, "The princess has a kind heart."
Liu Feng's eyebrows twisted into knots. When she heard the Crown Prince's wife's evaluation of the princess, she felt strange for a moment. She couldn't help but think that the Crown Prince's wife was blinded by something unknown. What blinded her? She started to speculate again.
You Yuzhi quickly left Yunxiao Pavilion and placed the bottle of silver cream on the small table beside Si Que's bed before leaving.
She returned to Tanxiang Yingyue, and even when she was doing other things, she was still thinking about the princess. In the evening, after dinner, she went to Yunxiao Pavilion again.
In the afternoon, Si Que woke up for a while, took some medicine, and then fell asleep again.
When You Yuzhi came over, Tingyun was covering Si Que's forehead with a wet handkerchief.
—Si Que has a fever.
You Yuji originally just wanted to come and take a look, but she didn't expect that the princess was having a fever. Seeing the huge room so cold and deserted, she suddenly felt a sense of desolation. You Yuji sighed softly, sat by the bed and refused to leave.
The weak little black cat had woken up and was hiding in the corner, staring at the people in the room with curiosity and vigilance.
You Yuji didn't care about the cat, and reached out to test the temperature of Si Que's forehead. The water on the wet handkerchief flowed down along Si Que's forehead and into his black hair. You Yuji saw it, took the handkerchief and wiped it carefully.
As soon as she withdrew her hand, she saw Si Que opened his eyes and looked at her.
"You're awake!" You Yuji smiled in surprise. When she smiled, the entire dim curtain seemed to light up.
Si Que blinked slowly.
You Yuji immediately said, "Now that you're awake, why don't you eat something? I heard from Liu Feng that you only drank medicine when you woke up in the afternoon, and didn't eat anything."
You Yuji turned to look at Liu Feng. Liu Feng hurriedly said that the porridge was still warm and went to get it immediately.
"Since you know you are weak, you should be more careful in the cold weather." You Yuji moved forward and reached out to help Si Que. Si Que did not refuse and let her help him up.
You Yuji leaned over to get the pillow on the inside of the bed. The pillow was next to the little black cat. Seeing You Yuji's hand reaching out, the little black cat immediately became alert and even stopped wagging its tail. You Yuji smiled at it gently, gently touched its head, and took the pillow to cushion Si Que's back.
You Yuzhi moved closer to Si Que, put her arms around his waist, and carefully adjusted the pillow behind him.
She was so close that her front body was almost touching Si Que, and even her lightly fragrant black hair brushed against Si Que's chin.
Smelling the elegant fragrance on her body and feeling her unintentional rubbing against him, Si Que sighed.
You Yuji raised her eyes and looked over, and asked nervously, "Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
Si Que did not answer this question.
You Yuji thought the princess was uncomfortable and unwilling to speak. Soon, Liu Feng came up with minced meat porridge. You Yuji took it naturally.
Feeling that the bowl was a little hot, You Yuji took a small spoon and scooped a little bit, handed it to herself, and put it to her lips to test the temperature.
The temperature is just right.
Only then did she lean over to feed Si Que.
Liu Feng was about to get another spoon when he was surprised to see the princess actually eat the porridge that You Yuji fed her. Liu Feng quietly turned his face to the other side, then dared to blink, blinked again, and then turned back as if nothing had happened.
After You Yuzhi fed Si Que half a bowl of rice, she suddenly remembered something.
She had been a vegetarian for mourning her father. In fact, she no longer needed to be a vegetarian, but perhaps because she had been a vegetarian for too long, she now felt uncomfortable when she smelled meat. She did not plan to be a vegetarian for the rest of her life, and she had been trying to overcome it recently, but with little success.
However, she fed Si Que minced meat porridge. Even the spoonful she tasted just now had a large piece of minced meat on it.
"I don't want to eat anymore." Si Que's voice was a little hoarse.
You Yuji came back to her senses, withdrew her hand, lowered her eyes and looked at the half bowl of porridge left in the bowl for a moment, then tried to use the spoon to scoop up some minced meat and put it into her mouth and ate it slowly.
Si Que raised his eyes and looked at her.
Without the aversion to the meaty taste as before, You Yuji took the spoon and took two more bites.
Noticing Si Que looking at her, she pursed her lips and smiled, obviously a little embarrassed, and said, "It tastes good."
Liu Feng hurriedly said, "Do you want more, Princess? I'll serve you some."
"No, no..." You Yuji hastily refused, already blaming herself for her inappropriate behavior. She put the spoon in the bowl, and the next moment, the little black cat that had been hiding in the corner suddenly jumped over, sat on Si Que's legs, and stared at You Yuji eagerly.
You Yuji was startled, and before she could take any action, the bowl in her hand had been taken away by Si Que.
Si Que handed the bowl to the kitten.
The little black cat immediately stood up, put its two front paws on the edge of the bowl, buried its little head in it and ate the minced meat in big mouthfuls.
You Yuji curled her lips, and felt more and more that the princess was a kind-hearted person.
Liu Feng, who was standing by, was muttering to himself: two people and a cat sharing a bowl of porridge, someone who didn’t know would think there was a famine…
Si Que ate the porridge and drank the medicine again, then lay down weakly again to rest.
Before closing her eyes and falling asleep, You Yuji was still sitting beside the bed.
Later, when Si Que woke up again, he still saw You Yuzhi guarding the bed. He didn't know when she fell asleep. She was lying on the side of the bed, revealing a small section of her fair neck.
You Yuji was still holding the wet towel she had changed for Si Que. Half of the towel was in her hand, and the other half was stuck to the bed, soaking the mattress.
Si Que took off the wet handkerchief covering his forehead and picked up a silk handkerchief beside the pillow. It was a light purple color, soft in texture, with a taro embroidered in the corner.
It was left behind by You Yuji when she wiped the water stains from Si Que's forehead.
Si Que looked at the silk handkerchief for a while, then set his eyes on the small section of You Yuji's neck that was exposed, and said slowly, "She still has some conscience."
You Yuzhi woke up in a daze and opened her eyes to look at Si Que.
Si Que's expressionless face instantly broke into an obedient smile.
Chen Anzhi returned home very late.
Fang Qingyi insisted on moving out of Jinnan Palace yesterday. Fang Qingyi didn't want to see him at all, and was completely severing ties with him. He even asked Chen Lingyan to convey his persuasion.
This morning, when he and You Yuji came back from You's house, he did not go back to the palace and went directly to look for Fang Qingyi. However, he was still turned away, and he was upset, so he had to find a few friends to go out for a drink and play cards.
As soon as I returned home, I saw Nanny Gu who had been waiting for a long time.
Nanny Gu passed on a message to the princess with only one sentence - never let the illegitimate child be born first.
Chen Anzhi pondered for a while, and went to Tanxiang Yingyue, but he didn't want to come back empty-handed. He learned that Si Que had caught a cold, and You Yuji was guarding there.
Chen An was stunned and sobered up from his drunkenness. He hurried to Yunxiao Pavilion.
Along the way, his mind was full of Princess Que.
When he really saw Yunxiao Pavilion from afar, Chen Anzhi remembered another thing.
You Yuji stayed by Si Que's side? Si Que was his concubine, and You Yuji, as the mistress, took care of her. Wasn't it all for him
She was trying to be nice to him, and she still had him in her heart.
