Come on, Your Highness

For the first time, Xiao Hong complained about what Gong Xiu was doing so big. He was panting from the palace gate to Jing'an Palace, and his forehead was covered with sweat.But he didn't care about wiping it, and carried He Xichao back into the bedroom in one go.

At this time, He Xichao had already lost consciousness from the fever, and was lying on the bed unsteadily.

Xinrui handed the sweat towel to Xiao Hong, he wiped his face indiscriminately, stretched out his hand to touch He Xichao's forehead, and said in shock: "It's so hot! When will the imperial doctor come, send someone to hurry up! If you can't run away, help me over here !"

Hearing Xiao Hong's roar, He Xi opened his eyes Xuxu, facing Xiao Hong's direction, "Cousin..."

"I'm here, I'm here!" Xiao Hong immediately rushed back to the bed, seeing that He Xichao seemed to be talking, he bent down and put his ear close to him.

He Xichao said in a tearful voice, "I feel bad..."

Xiao Hong: "..." He could only feel He Xichao's thin voice piercing his ears all the way to the bottom of his heart, twisting and rubbing his heart, making him uncomfortable one after another.

He said in a few words: "I, I, I, what can I do? Xi Chao, tell me what to do to make you feel less uncomfortable—" He rubbed his head irritably, his hair was rubbed into a chicken coop, and in the end he didn't know what to do. Where did he come up with an idea, stretched his hand to He Xichao's mouth, "Why don't you bite me?"

Fortunately, He Xichao was confused and couldn't see or hear clearly, otherwise he would have given him the look of "are you an idiot".

"What's going on, nice person, how did you get into this after taking the provincial exam?" At this time, Shen Momo also came in, saw He Xichao on the bed, frowned and said, "Don't be stuck here, hurry up and get rid of Xichao." Wipe the young master's clothes on his body, neck, armpits, and chest to dissipate heat."

As soon as Mother Shen said, Xiao Hong immediately went to untie He Xichao's collar.

Xinrui looked at it, and said: "Your Highness, let the slaves come." The maid came in with a cold water basin and brought a handkerchief, she soaked the handkerchief in the water, and gently twisted it to Xiao Hong's side.

Xiao Hong subconsciously repelled it, but reason still made him stand up and step aside.

Xinrui took off He Xichao's outer garment, unbuttoned his inner garment, dipped the veil in cold water, wrapped it around He Xichao's neck all the way to his armpit, then reached between his legs, and wiped it gently, skillfully and gently.

He Xichao frowned, probably feeling better, and didn't wake up.

At this time, it was the turn of the imperial doctor Wang who was stepping on the wind and fire like being urged.

Taking the pulse, looking at the coating on the tongue, and listening to the chest, Doctor Wang showed doubts, "Your Highness, has He Bandu taken the medicine of tiger and wolf?"

"The medicine for tigers and wolves?" Xiao Hong stared, "What do you say?"

"He Bandu is weak and has a high fever all over his body, but his tongue coating is bright red, his pulse is chaotic, and his breathing is not smooth. It seems to have damaged his heart and lungs. He should have taken Xingshen pills." Wang Taiyi said.

"What it is?"

"Xingshen Pill works quickly, and can suppress high fever for a short time, making the mind clear and clear. But it is not a symptomatic medicine. Although the high fever subsides, it is pressed into the heart and lungs. As it is now."

As soon as Doctor Wang explained Xiao Hong, he wanted to understand what was going on. He Xichao had been preparing for the exam for three years and had already finished two exams. He was definitely unwilling to let him give up the last exam.With his heart, he will definitely find a way to continue the exam, even if he will pay a higher price for it.

Xiao Hong looked at He Xichao on the bed, he was angry, distressed, and blamed himself, if it wasn't for his uselessness, He Xichao would have to consider everything, otherwise He Xichao wouldn't need to work so hard.

"Can it be cured?"

Physician Wang nodded, "Yes, it means reducing the fever. It's just that the fever comes on violently, and it will take a few days to completely subside. Nourish the heart and lungs, and you will be able to recover.”

Xiao Hong felt fortunate that he had brought him back to the palace, otherwise, in Duke Wei's mansion, it would be thankful for the disease not to worsen, let alone recuperate.

Doctor Wang continued acupuncture and moxibustion with one hand, and He Xichao's fever subsided a little. Although he was still burning, he was no longer weak and writhing uncomfortably.

Afterwards, Imperial Physician Wang went to prescribe medicine, and Xinrui led someone to change the handkerchief, while Xiao Hong squatted beside the bed, watching He Xichao quietly.

At this time, Xiao Hong realized that the quiet He Xichao was really a little girl, because he didn't like martial arts, and he had the fragility of a literati, which aroused his desire to protect.

He held He Xichao's hand, and with the other hand, he traced the facial features of the person on the bed, gently smoothed the frowning eyebrows, and whispered: "Get better soon, Xichao, let my brother do this kind of suffering in the future."

He Xizhao didn't wake up until ten minutes later, his head was still dizzy, and he couldn't remember what happened.

Under the candlelight, seeing the familiar bed curtain above his head, he knew that this was Jing'an Palace, and then turned back the time, and then strung together the pictures.

He turned his head sideways, and saw Xiao Hong lying on the bed with his chin resting on his arm, smiling at him and saying, "Xi Chao, you're finally awake."

Sometimes it's just a moment to be moved. When He Xichao saw Xiao Hong's smiling face amidst the mottled light and shadow, his depressed mood tortured by the serious illness suddenly became brighter.

"Have you been there all the time?" He raised his hand and touched Xiao Hong's face, as if to confirm the truth.

Xiao Hong nodded fiercely, "Of course, if you burn like that, how can I go away with confidence! Xi Chao, you scared me to death, do you know that! If I don't pick you up sooner, what will you do?"

He caught He Xichao's hand in mid-air, put it on his heart, and pressed down, "Touch it, it's still dancing very hard now."

He Xichao laughed sullenly, his cheeks were flushed because of high fever or something.He turned his face sideways, wanting to let go of his hand but couldn't bear it.

Xiao Hong's clothes were not thick, and he was always in good health. Under his not-so-thin chest was a powerful heart, as lively and powerful as himself.

Looking at Xiao Hong again, the eyes under his handsome eyebrows clearly reflected He Xichao on the bed, it can be seen that his heart and eyes are all about him.

He Xichao's body was sluggish, and his bones were still aching, but he didn't seem to feel the pain. He only felt that he was deep in the warm sun, and the tip of his nose was smelling happiness.

If you are not alone, you don't need to experience the loneliness. It is better than anything else to have someone guarding you.

"Cousin, thank you."

Thank you for coming to me for the first time, thank you for never letting go of me, and thank you for being by my side.

He Xichao had never realized so clearly like this moment how right he was in choosing Xiao Hong, no, it was luck.

"Cough..." Xiao Hong was embarrassed by He Xichao's warm gaze, rubbed the back of his head, and smirked, "Thank you, which one of us is with whom, brother, I should take care of you, that is..." He suddenly Remembering, he immediately turned serious, and said in a deep voice, "The tiger wolf medicine can no longer be taken. Do you know that the illness that could be cured after three or four days of treatment will take more than half a year to recover now. Xi Chao , you are really messing around!"

He Xichao was slightly taken aback, and wondered how Xiao Hong knew, but it is normal for the hospital to produce a lot of talented people, and it is normal for them to come out after the examination.

Just talking about this matter, his expression darkened, "I know, I begged for this medicine myself. I don't want to wait another three years, it will mess up all my plans and drag you down even more. There is one more game left, I think I will be able to persevere after a while, even if I will be bedridden for three to five years, I will not hesitate..."

Xiao Hong frowned, "Xi Chao..."

"But I still failed!" He Xichao raised his head, his eyes filled with resignation and helplessness, as well as a sense of resignation, "Even if I took medicine, I could answer the questions on the first day..." He laughed at himself , "This is probably because God is doomed not to let me get what I want. I am too greedy, and let others stumble. Naturally, it will be my turn."

However, Xiao Hong shook his head and said in disapproval: "Xi Chao, I am not as smart as you, and I am not as far-sighted as you, but no matter what the reason is, you are more important than anything else in my heart, even more important than imperial power. What I said is Really, if I want to trade your health, I'd rather beat myself to death, even if in the end... finally I have to bow my head and surrender at the feet of my younger brothers, it's better than you lingering in the sick bed."

When he said this, he also smiled with relief, "I used to think that being a prince is very important, but now I think that chair is necessary. Unfortunately, if the emperor chooses me, it is best, no, let us live a good life and be free. It doesn't matter if you are comfortable, you really don't have to work so hard."

He Xichao felt warm in his heart when he heard that, and the corners of his mouth were raised high. Anyone would be happy to know that he was placed in an important position by others, but he also felt that Xiao Hong was naive, "You are the eldest son. Do you think your younger brothers will succeed you? When you are free? The best end is to be imprisoned, locked up in a three-acre field like a pig, always worried about when you don’t like it, and find a reason to slaughter it.”

Xiao Hong looked at He Xichao speechlessly and said: "I'll just use an example to let you know that you are the most important to me, and I didn't say no to fighting for that chair! Really, it's always like a pig head and a stupid pig, and you call me stupid .”

He Xichao was amused, and tilted his head and said, "But I just like you stupid pig!"

Xiao Hong blinked, "Really?"

"Ah."

"Then pigs are pigs." Xiao Hong chuckled, showing his foolishness, and He Xichao didn't want to talk to him.

Talking and laughing came from inside, and Xinrui came in with the medicine. Xiao Hong looked back and patted his head, annoyed: "Look at me, I almost forgot, Xi Chao, drink the medicine quickly when you wake up. Don't look Now that the fever has subsided a little bit, Doctor Wang has to repeat for a few days that the medicine must be taken."

An unfriendly smell entered his nostrils along with the medicine bowl, and He Xichao couldn't help turning his face away.

Xiao Hong brought the bowl to his mouth, and said with a smile: "This is the first bowl, and there will be more later. Doctor Wang said that you don't spare yourself so much, that you dare to eat that kind of tiger wolf medicine, and you have eaten it at a young age." Body, what should you do when you are old? When he gets angry, he prescribes six bowls of medicine for you every day, drink it every day until the fever completely subsides."

Listening to Xiao Hong's tone, he seemed to agree with it, and he didn't understand He Xichao's difficulty at all.

He Xichao glanced at him with some displeasure, and pursed his lips.

Xiao Hong pressed down the corners of his lips that were about to turn up, and with a serious face, he said firmly: "It's useless to be coquettish to me now, I will supervise you, and you have to finish every bowl. Come on, don't dawdle, let it cool down It's even worse, good boy! How about I feed you?"

He Xichao took a sip, suppressed the nausea and said, "It's a little hot."

"No, I'm holding the bowl, and it doesn't feel hot."

"You have thick skin."

As soon as Xiao Hong heard it, he couldn't help but tasted it and wiped it, and suddenly a bitter feeling of smoke from seven orifices rose to the sky.

Xiao Hong's distorted face and exaggerated expression pleased He Xichao, he couldn't help laughing, and shouted, "Idiot." However, he took the bowl and gulped it down.

Seeing that he was happy, Xiao Hong didn't say that he specially made him laugh, but just passed a piece of caramel over, "I can only eat one piece, to get rid of the bitter taste."

The sick He Xichao, playing those tricks, is cute no matter how you look at it.

"I haven't eaten all day, are you hungry?"

As a patient, He Xichao enjoys the treatment of eating in bed. The millet porridge that has been squatting in the kitchen, with some shredded chicken and yam, is stewed so badly that it melts in the mouth.

He scooped up a spoon and ate bite by bite. Xiao Hong could tell that he had no appetite.

For a sick person, delicacies from mountains and seas are tasteless in the mouth, but He Xichao knows that if he doesn't eat, he will not have the strength to fight against the disease, so he forces himself to eat like medicine.

A good person became like this, although it is because of the tiger wolf medicine, but if it is not for physical discomfort, he would not take the risk.

As soon as Xiao Hong thought of the laxative, his eyes flickered, and he asked, "Who gave the laxative, Xi Chao, do you know? He Mingrui, or his mother?"

After He Xichao finished eating the millet porridge, he handed the bowl back, wiped his mouth and said, "Me."

Xiao Hong looked at him in surprise, "You? Play it for yourself?"

"En." He Xichao said, leaning on the big soft pillow, facing Xiao Hong's puzzlement, he explained the cause and effect.

"The second lady was sent to the family temple, but she left behind her confidant, Nanny Gu, who stayed by He Mingrui's side in order to clean up the troubles one by one after the old lady took charge of the house. They thought well, but it was a pity that they were cut off halfway by the lady." Hu, now is taking advantage of the mistakes of the people below, and quickly removed the second lady's person and replaced it with his own. It is impossible for He Mingrui to silence her without anyone noticing. But he is anxious, he is afraid that he will wait for the big If my aunt is really a backdoor, she will never have another chance, so she must be stupid, we just need to keep an eye on him, and we can find other witnesses."

Xiao Hong's eyes were filled with frost immediately, a hostility filled his body, he gritted his teeth and said, "He Mingrui, he is courting death!"

As long as Xiao Hong thinks of the scene of the black bear appearing from behind He Xichao, he can't wait to tear the black hand behind the scenes into pieces.

"He deserves to die, but not now, I'm still in Duke Wei's mansion, so I can't be implicated by him." He Xichao said calmly.

"You still want to go back?" Xiao Hong said in astonishment, "Why did He Mingrui dare to target you like this? Isn't it just because of his grandfather's love for him? Stealing clothes, murder, a series of things, Xi Dynasty, Wei Guogong's mansion has nothing to do with you Not safe. Although you took the laxative yourself, if he has a grudge, he will poison you next time? The King’s Mansion will be built soon, follow me, as long as I have Xiao Hong for one day, I will definitely protect you The ground is comprehensive, not a single hair is shed, okay?"

Xiao Hong has said this many times, and He Xichao didn't take it seriously at first, but now, when it comes to Prince Ying's Mansion, it seems like a home, under Xiao Hong's subtle influence, he has subconsciously longed for the place that can also belong to him for the time being.

But again, now is not the time.

"I'm too young, and I'm just a scholar. I can't establish my own family. I can't leave Wei Guogong's mansion. I can live in Yingwang's mansion from time to time in the future, but it's still the second young master of the He family. I can't break with Wei Guogong's mansion, let alone Bring your mother out, otherwise a hat of disloyalty and unfilial piety will be enough for me to drink a pot."

He Xichao looked at Xiao Hong and rolled his eyes, and reminded: "Don't even try to expose He Mingrui's affairs and let Wei Guogong's mansion fall. Once the He family falls, I will be like a lost dog, and I can't even pass the imperial examination."

He Xichao can only wait for Xiao Hong to become strong and leave Wei Guogong's mansion, so that he can protect himself when the building is about to collapse.

"So why am I desperately trying to take the exam, get it?"

Xiao Hong pursed his lips and nodded, seeing He Xichao's dying appearance, it was obvious that he had talked too much and his body was not feeling well.

"Don't think about these things for now, your body is the most important thing, lie down and sleep again."

He Xichao hummed, then looked at Xiao Hong, "What about you?"

Xiao Hong took it for granted, "I'm here to guard you."

"That's not too hard."

Xiao Hong moved the pillow for He Xichao, helped him to lie down, and tucked the quilt while nagging: "Don't look at the fever is gone now, the imperial doctor said it will happen again, you can't leave people by your side, if I leave, you must never leave." What if it burns?"

"Isn't there a maid here?"

"Then I don't worry, I always have to keep an eye on you personally."

He Xichao was lying on the bed.Facing Xiao Hong, the latter also looked at him, with a smile on his face, and reached out to touch his temples, coaxing: "Hey, go to sleep, you will be really well after you wake up."

He Xichao pursed her lips and smiled, obediently closing her eyes.

Xiao Hong just stared at him, and then He Xichao opened his eyes and said, "If you don't dislike me, I'll make you sick, why don't you come up and sleep together?"

As soon as He Xichao finished speaking, Xiao Hong straightened his body, grinned, and hurriedly said, "I don't dislike it, I don't dislike it. You have a fever and it's not contagious. How can you get sick."

While talking, he quickly untied his coat.

He Xichao lifted the quilt, moved his body inside, Xiao Hong got in, "That's good, if you feel uncomfortable at night and want to drink water, just push me a little, and I'll wake up right away."

"Ah."

"I'm not feeling well, you must call me." Xiao Hong seemed to be tired, he lay down and told He Xichao one more order, and then closed his eyes, but his hands outside the quilt did not forget to tuck the person beside him tightly.

He Xichao was stunned, and after a long time, he gradually closed his eyes, but suddenly he heard a low voice from beside him, "Xi Chao, you need to get better soon..."

He Xi moved his eyes slightly, but he didn't open them, but the hand under the quilt couldn't help but caressed his heart. Suddenly, he also thought, how good it would be if it was like this for the rest of his life.
