Chapter 327

"But the Lord ordered that the king should not go to the room to ask the lady for pulse and let him go to the outside room."

"Just keep your mouth shut and don't tell Duan Wang. That's good." Xue ronghua said indifferently.

Pendant wants to say something else. And the king has come.

Chu Chengxun knocked at the door outside. "Prospective princess. It's time to come out and ask for pulse."

Xue ronghua poked his head and said, "come in, King Xiang. I'm too weak to move in bed. Just come in and ask for a pulse."

Chu Chengxun was stunned and hesitated: "prospective princess. Shouldn't you come out to ask for pulse?"

"I won't come out this time. It's no big deal. Just come in."

Chu Chengxun's hand involuntarily tightened the medicine box. When he opened the door and entered the room, he saw Xue ronghua lying on the edge of the bed with a pale face and a section of his arm exposed the quilt. It looks white under the scarlet bedding.

"The princess to be doesn't look well." Chu Chengxun sat down and looked at her, "have you taken medicine on time recently?"

"I've eaten all of them," the pendant gave her a tighter quilt. "What do you think of Miss Xiang Wang's recent recovery?"

"Not very good," Chu Chengxun said. Shook his head, "the look of the princess to be is not right. It seems that there was a deficiency before."

"I've been in good health before. I haven't been seriously ill. I don't know what's going on. I'm getting worse every time." Xue ronghua glanced at the medicine bowl. "Shouldn't I have any bad reaction to Xirong's medicine?"

"It won't. otherwise, it won't cure the cold of the princess to be," Chu Chengxun still felt guilty. "But you still need to make up for it. I'll open some pharmacies for you to make up your complexion. Your face is too white. It looks like a little paper doll wrapped in a layer of paper."

Xue ronghua was stunned and burst out laughing. "When the king came to see me, he liked to use all kinds of metaphors. Has the king also played with small paper puppets?"

Chu Chengxun raised his eyebrows, smiled and said, "does the princess to be like paper puppets, too, but I'm so big that I haven't played with a paper puppet as big as the princess to be."

"Of course, there is no paper doll as big as me in this world," Xue ronghua looked lazily at the snowy world outside the window. "Every time I see the ice and snow world, I feel that this winter is a world made of paper."

"That's really interesting," Chu Chengxun put away the medicine box and smiled at her. "Is the prospective Princess interested in going out to have a look at the newly opened Chimonanthus?"

"Plum blossom?" Xue ronghua lay back and said, "it's boring. It's plum blossom every year, but there's nothing new."

"The plum blossom is not just what kind of color and shape, but also what new ideas can come out," Chu Chengxun reluctantly spread his hands. "Why don't I take the prospective Princess out to play? These nights are just a lantern festival. Do you want to go out and have a look."

Zhui'er was stunned and hurriedly stopped: "Miss, you are empty now. How can you go out to see the lantern fair?"

"Your lady's illness has nothing to do with the wind outside. You can rest assured."

Xue ronghua's lips raised an interesting smile, "I've also heard that it's a Lantern Festival these days. I've long wanted to go out to see it."

Zhui'er hurriedly leaned over and advised, "Miss, Duan wang hasn't come back yet. You can go back when Duan Wang comes back. If he knows that the maidservant hasn't looked at the miss, he will punish the maidservant."

Chu Chengxun said with a smile, "you don't have to worry. I'm not taking your miss out tonight. When Duanwang comes, it's not too late to explain to him first and then take your miss out."

Xue ronghua glanced at her angrily, "what do you mean you don't keep an eye on me? I'm not his pet. He doesn't want to keep an eye on me all the time."

Chua Chengxun kindly explained: "Chua has been with you for so many years. Naturally, she plans for you everywhere, and Duan Wang always takes you as the treasure in the palm of his hand, which won't hurt you."

Xue ronghua pursed his lips and didn't know what to say.

Chu Chengxun picked up the medicine box and was ready to leave. Before leaving, he smiled at her and said, "if the princess to be really wants to go out to see the Lantern Festival and is afraid that Duan Wang will not agree, you can think of going to see it with Duan Wang. Can't this not only ensure the safety of the princess to be, but also watch the Lantern Festival?"

Xue ronghua lowered his head and said, "I'm afraid he won't agree."

When Chu Zongge returned to the palace, it was late at night. Xue ronghua was reading by candlelight in his study. He felt a gust of wind touching his forehead. He raised his eyes and saw his figure. Half of his face was hidden in the shadow of the candle.

"Why do you always come back so late? You can't see anyone during the day or at night," Xue ronghua put down his brush. "You went to the Palace during the day. You just made friends with ministers at night. Are you playing a trick with the emperor?"

Chu Zongge leaned down and kissed her forehead. "The emperor called the king into the palace again, mostly for my business. Although the emperor is in general health, the deadline hasn't come yet. I can't go wrong under his eyelids."

"I know. You'd better have a rest earlier."

Chu Zongge came to her side and looked at her with gentle eyes, "are you complaining that I didn't accompany you well by your side?"

"How can it be? You have your own business to do, and I know it very well. Besides, I'm sick and can't be with you all the time," Xue ronghua squeezed out a smile. "You'd better go to rest early. There's a will in the palace that you should go to the palace to have dinner with the emperor tomorrow night."

Chu Zongge frowned, and a trace of unhappiness flashed between his eyebrows and eyes. "It's like this again. The emperor stared at me too tightly."

"It's also the hardest for you to control in this palace. If he doesn't stare at you, who else should he stare at?" Xue ronghua held his chin and his eyes were bright. "What can you do to make the emperor feel at ease? Otherwise, you're too tight and easy to be exposed."

"I know," Chu Zongge looked down at the paper she wrote. "Why don't you sleep so late? Your body is not well yet. You should pay attention to rest."

"I just can't sleep. I have something to say to you."

Xue ronghua's paper was just some poems. Her beautiful small characters fell on the paper like embroidery. Chu Zongge looked at his eyes and asked carelessly, "what else do you have to say to me? Tomorrow will not be the same. There's no need to wait until this time."

"I'm afraid you've gone out again early in the morning," Xue ronghua pulled his skirt. "There's a lantern party on the street outside recently. I want to go out and play. It's too boring to stay in the palace. I haven't been out of the palace since I came back from the state of Qi."

Chu Zongge's face was dark in the shadow of the candle. He frowned, "but your body is not well yet. What wind have you blown out now and how can you get sick again? You also know your body. It's easy to get sick in this winter."

Xue ronghua breathed softly and said with a smile, "the king said it doesn't matter if I'm sick or cold. It's also good to go out for a breath."

"Who are you going to go out with and fall in love? She may not be able to watch you."

"I want to go out with the king," Xue ronghua said with a smile. "He happens to be in the house. There is nothing wrong. The emperor rarely asks him for a while. He has plenty of time to accompany me."

"You go with him?" Chu Zongge's voice was obviously unhappy. "You go out with him?"

"Of course, there's still fall son around. It's not just me and him," Xue ronghua added hastily for fear that he wouldn't agree. "What do you think? Can I go out?"

Chu Zongge stood up in silence, covered the candlelight in front of her, and plunged her into a layer of darkness. "When you asked for pulse today, didn't you let the king directly enter your room?"

Xue ronghua's heart sank and whispered, "did chuaier tell you?"

"If it wasn't for her, someone in the house would tell me," Chu Zongge stared at her eyes faintly. "Don't you have nothing with the king? Why are you so close to him?"

"He and I have nothing at all. He is your uncle Huang. What can I have with him," Xue ronghua said excitedly. "What are you doubting? Why do you ask zhui'er to watch me? Will I go anywhere?"

"I just care about you. For your safety, I ask zhui'er to take good care of you. As your future husband, is this not possible?" Chu Zongge couldn't hear any feelings in his voice. "Don't go out with him. Please contact the outside room in the future. Don't get too close to him. Your aunt has the consciousness of being a wife."

"Consciousness?" Xue ronghua thought it was ridiculous. "When did we have so many cumbersome things? I'm not your wife. I haven't married you to become Princess Duan. You want to control me."

"I knew that the king had other ideas about you, but he was really hidden," Chu Zongge said. "I'll open another house for him to live in. You won't meet him in the future."

Xue ronghua turned pale. "But what's the meaning of you? You're not in the house all day, and I don't have anyone else to talk to. I'm alone and can't do anything. It's not easy for a prime minister to come and talk to me. You have to doubt others and send him away. Do you want me to be alone?"

"I'm not a dangerous person. How can you be alone? You don't have to worry about everything with me," Chu Zongge gasped. "I used to be very used to you, but now it's different from the past. The sunset is the most critical. Moreover, you used to be a princess to be. Now you're going to become a princess. I have to watch closely."

"You're really strange," Xue ronghua frowned and snorted coldly. "What's the meaning of locking me up like this? I can't do anything in the house. I'll really suffocate."

"It's so easy to suffocate," Chu Zongge stretched out his long arm to hold her in his arms. "You're my wife. Naturally, you should be clever. I see you hard all day and always face me. It's really a headache. You want to see the lantern festival like that. I have time to go with you. Don't be angry."

Xue ronghua's body was weak and could not resist. He had to hold him halfway, but he still refused to admit defeat. "Forget it, I'm not in good health now, and I can't argue with you. When I'm in good health, I'll have a good theory with you."

Chu Zongge laughed, "then I'll wait until you're well. Take your time to rest."
