Xue ronghua opened her eyes in the dark. She always felt buzzing in her head and couldn't sleep. But the fear of tossing and turning woke the person beside the pillow. I had to sigh in my heart. His eyes looked empty to the ceiling.
Chu Zongge turned over, hugged her soft body, leaned close to her ear and said gently, "what's the matter with you? Are you thinking about some thorny problems when you can't sleep?"
Xue ronghua didn't expect that he was still awake. Whispered, "did I wake you up?"
"No." Chu Zongge's throat made a low voice. "In fact, I can't sleep. I just felt you move a few times. I think you can't sleep."
Xue ronghua gently touched the corner of his lips. "I'll fall asleep later. Go to bed quickly. The relationship with Xirong has eased a lot these days. It's rare for you to have a rest. It's not necessarily when Xirong's envoy arrives in Kyoto."
"They will arrive in about five days," Chu Zongge's eyes turned. "Why did resident Liu Yuan enter the palace from guimeng temple, and there was another man around him. Is it her new helper?"
Xue ronghua's hand shook a few times and hesitated: "how did you know she entered the palace?"
"I'm the emperor. This is my palace. Don't I know who's in my palace?" said Chu Zongge, "Did you have another attack? Your body has weakened a lot since our wedding. Although you have been reluctant to tell me, I can feel what will happen in the future. You must tell me that I am your husband and should take care of you. No matter how busy politics is, my wife still has to take care of you."
Xue ronghua's eyes were wet. "In fact, it's nothing. I just didn't feel good. Then I asked her to come and have a look. After she saw it, that's the original words. I was afraid of problems in the future, so I directly let her live in the imperial palace."
Chu Zongge's eyes opened and showed meaningful eyes, "you don't have to hide from me anymore. You vomited blood in the morning. In fact, I smell a smell of blood in the house. After seeing you, the monk told you that your condition has worsened again. If you don't leave me soon, your life will disappear immediately."
"How can it be so serious," Xue ronghua said shyly, "I shouldn't hide it from you, but I really don't want you to worry. There's no way to cure my disease. It's better to let it go."
"Let it go?" Chu Zongge opened his eyes in disbelief, and a trace of worry flashed between his eyebrows. "Have you ever thought about my feelings when you say this? Do you want me to watch you leave me?"
"But this is already a fact. My disease can't be cured. Even if I leave you, I will only slow down the speed of life passing away," Xue ronghua bit his pale lips. "Besides, I don't want to grow old alone. Even if there is only the last second of my life left, I want to stay by your side and be with you."
"Then where am I like a man, watching his wife die in his arms," Chu Zongge's eyes became deeper and deeper, "No, you have to separate from me now. You live in ward palace. I'll come to see you later. Just walk outside and listen to your voice. You must get better. I'd rather not see you than be healthy."
Xue ronghua's pupils tightened and some resisted: "no, I don't want to leave you..."
Chu Zongge hugged her tightly, kissed her lips, swallowed her unspoken words into his mouth, kissed her, held her pale cheek, lowered his voice and said: "Your body is the most important. I won't leave you, let alone go to another woman. You can rest in ward palace. When your body is better, I'll come back. I can't just watch you get sick."
The dew in the morning slipped from the green banana leaves, like pearls rolling on the Jasper plate. Liu Yuan's hand touched them one by one along the vein of the banana leaves. The cuffs were dark by the dew. She deeply absorbed the fresh air. After this autumn rain, the temperature will soon drop.
Xu Hanfei narrowed his eyes and looked at her. "You're in a good mood today. Why don't you go to Huade palace to ask the queen for a pulse?"
Liu Yuan glanced at him angrily. "Have you ever seen a doctor run to the patient's room every day? Besides, the queen doesn't allow you to enter ward palace. It's no use for you to go."
"I'm letting you go," Xu Hanfei said. "I've been familiar with you in the past."
"What looks familiar? You're dreaming. The empress will only think that you know she doesn't allow you to enter her palace. You're just an unreasonable fool to follow her again and again," Liu Yuan waved impatiently. "You need to have snacks. If you want to win the emperor's insight, you'd better go forward."
"I'm trying to find a way, but in my opinion, the emperor believes most in the empress. Why don't you go to the empress and give me a few words."
Liu Yuan looked at him for a few eyes, "it's better not to talk disorderly, otherwise the queen still suspects that a little doctor of mine dares to tell the emperor's government affairs, and will certainly doubt me."
"I thought you had a good relationship with the queen. That's all."
"The best relationship is not for you to use."
Xu Hanfei said with a smile, "the envoy of Xirong will arrive in Kyoto soon. The emperor will be able to use me at that time."
Liu Yuan is surprised, and strange way: "I see you are living in this ringtone hall like me, how do you know what? What message do you get from somewhere?"
"If I want to succeed, I must be prepared," Xu Hanfei suddenly brightened his eyes. "Someone is coming. Is it someone you know?"
Liu Yuan looked back along his eyes. He was wearing a sky blue robe, but he smelled like a childe. His face looked very wrong. She frowned slightly, "how do you know I'm in the palace?"
"Because I waited for you in guimeng temple for a long time, but I didn't wait until you came back. Later, when I entered the palace, I knew you had lived in the palace," Xi Yu showed a bitter smile. "Your ideas are changeable. I can't feel your origin in guimeng Temple and in the palace."
Xu Hanfei's heart was like a mirror. In a word, he heard that the relationship between the man and the resident was very different. He quickly hung up his smile and arched his hands and said, "Hello, young master. I'm the helper of Liuyuan resident. I'll meet you for the first time. Please give me more advice in the palace in the future."
Xiyu glanced at him without salt. "I'm not a childe, but a guard around the king. You don't need me to ask for advice. Since I'm a disciple of a Buddhist monk, I'll learn medicine well behind her."
Seeing that Xiyu's tone was not friendly, Liu Yuan winked at Xu Hanfei and asked him to go back to the Palace first. Xu Hanfei looked at Xiyu's lukewarm expression and left first.
Xiyu looked at his leaving back, pursed his lips and said, "I don't see something wrong with this man. I heard you picked him up from the street. Did you ask his origin?"
"There's nothing to ask. It's just an orphan without parents. I don't want to touch his sadness," Liu Yuan glanced at him. "Why are you here? Are you looking for me?"
"Or do you have to find your new apprentice? Whether you are an orphan or have parents, you always have to ask the origin, but don't lead wolves into the house," Xi Yu flashed a strange look at the bottom of his eyes. "I came to ask you, since you want to accept an apprentice, why don't you call me? Isn't I more suitable to be your apprentice than him?"
Liu Yuan was stunned and wondered, "I don't need an apprentice. I just see that he is pitifully collected under the door. It can be regarded as many people who can inherit my family's medical skills, so that it won't be interrupted from me. Besides, you are the escort of the king. There's no reason to learn medical skills from me."
"Didn't you think you would get married and have children when you accepted your apprentice to inherit medical skills? Why don't you let your children inherit it?"
Liu Yuan's eyes slowly darkened. "It's too far away to get married and have children. I haven't thought of or see the person who can marry me. What do you worry about me like this and who I want to teach medicine is my freedom."
"Yes, yes, that must be your freedom. I shouldn't have come here to do anything," Xi Yu smiled bitterly. "In fact, I just want to see what your new apprentice is. After looking at it today, I feel that you get along well with him, so I'm relieved. As long as you are willing to do whatever you want."
Liu Yuan pursed his lips into a line and said in a determined tone: "you don't have to come to see me in the future. It's enough for me to have his help here. You'd better look at your Xiangwang. I see that he is interested in the queen again. I still don't let go. If something happens, both sides will be hurt. You'd better persuade him quickly."
Xiyu looked at her in a daze, and some helplessly spread his hands and said, "after all, he is the one who is thinking of the king. If something happens, he must be the first to arrive. The emperor doesn't care. He must be moved."
"But the queen doesn't mean anything to him at all. Why should he be amorous to intervene in other people's family affairs? The emperor cares whether it's the emperor's own business. He's a outsider who talks a lot," Liu Yuan lowered his eyelids and couldn't see his expression clearly on his face. "It's annoying for others to think and worry so much."
Xiyu's pupils tightened. "Are you tired of me caring about you so much?"
"That's not true, but you should come less. You know who I have in my heart. I'm just more restrained than those reckless people," Liu Yuan's voice was particularly clear in the morning air. "You'd better accompany the king. This is your duty. Don't waste time on me."
Xi Yu was still stunned. Liu Yuan could not wait to stride into the palace. Xu Hanfei, who always loved to watch the excitement, waited for her on the corridor. She glared at him, "what are you doing here? Didn't I ask you to go in?"
"Do I have no freedom outside? I just became your apprentice, not sold myself to you," Xu Hanfei blinked cunningly. "Is that Xiyu interested in you?"
Liu Yuan stared, "what does it have to do with you? Don't you go in and see the prescription for me."
