One day passed, Chen Wangzhi waited eagerly from morning to night, but he couldn't wait for Yu Wenche.There was a commotion outside the pavilion in the afternoon, and he hurried out. It turned out that Cheng Qing had brought a few servants with him and sent a lot of silk, satin, fur and gold, silver and jade.Chen Wangzhi leaned against the smoked cage, unhappy.Dong Qi'er persuaded, "Cheng Qing said, Your Majesty is very busy today, so you don't have time to come here. Even though you can't make it, you still want to send someone to deliver things. It is said that the Chinese New Year is coming soon, so I will make clothes for you." Chen Wangzhi trembled Sleeves, said, "I have clothes to wear, why do I need to make new ones?" After drinking the medicine, and seeing that it was almost time to sleep, he slowly fell asleep.

Early the next morning, before tomorrow, Dong Qier got up to wash and found that Chen Wangzhi had already woken up, sitting on the couch with his arms wrapped around his knees, looking quite haggard.

"Your Highness." Dong Qi'er hurriedly stepped forward to put the white fox fur on him.The fox fur was a gift from Yu Wenche, and Chen Wangzhi liked it very much, so he pressed it on the quilt when he went to bed at night. "Since you're awake, why didn't you call me?"

"I had a scary dream." Chen Wangzhi shrank his body, his eye circles were slightly red, and whispered, "I dreamed of many snakes, many, many, chasing me..." He grabbed the silk tie of the fox fur, There were many dark shadows in the corner, like a group of snakes. Suddenly, the lights burst and the candlelight flickered. Chen Wangzhi backed away again and again, trembling, "The snake chased me and bit me. I was terrified, but I couldn't dodge it. The snake entangled me. If you want, going to me-"

The cold mist in the morning seemed to creep in through the window cracks.In the nightmare, the snake's scales were sticky and cold, and the snake's head was raised high, scrambling to get into his body.He struggled and shouted desperately, hoping that someone would come to rescue him.However, until he woke up, he was still alone in the dream.

Dong Qi'er took the scissors and shaved the wick short.A few more lanterns were lit, and the bedroom was as bright as day. "Don't be afraid, Your Highness. This servant has known since she was a child that dreams are always reversed." She half knelt on the edge of the couch and comforted softly, "Furthermore, there are no snakes in Taicheng. This servant has been here for decades and has never seen one." , I haven’t heard anyone mention that I’ve met them before. His Highness probably thought too much before going to bed, and Mr. Zhang will come in a while, and ask him to prescribe some soothing prescriptions, take the decoction, and he’ll be fine in no time.”

Chen Wangzhi snapped his fingers and sighed, "Mr. Zhang is coming? I have to take medicine again. All the medicines in the world are bitter."

Dong Qier smiled and said, "Is there any medicine that is not bitter? Your Highness is getting better and better every day. Mr. Zhang is worthy of a miracle doctor. Take a few more doses, and when the spring comes next year, the root cause of the disease will be gone."

Chen Wangzhi nodded, rubbed his lower abdomen, suddenly turned from worry to joy, and said with a smile, "When I recover from illness and have strength in my body, I can do things if I think about it? You are right, I think too much. I think so much What to do? I was hungry, and after eating, I went to read and write. I can’t use my wrists, and the handwriting is crooked. I wonder if it will be better if I eat a few more bowls of rice.”

Dong Qier said, "Your Highness is right to think so."

Chen Wangzhi jumped off the low couch, "My stomach is growling—Sister Qi'er, I want to drink milk tea."

At three o'clock, Cheng Qing sent someone to report that Yu Wenche had retired from the court and wanted to come to the pavilion with Zhang Shicheng.

Chen Wangzhi was overjoyed, and Dong Qier said, "Look, Your Majesty said he had time to come and see you, so he's here? The so-called 'golden mouth and jade words' are the most accurate."

"Unfortunately, I didn't even write a few words." Chen Wangzhi pouted.No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't control the small pen in his hand. He clearly wanted to write horizontally, but the strokes were crooked, like an earthworm.Thinking of the snakes in his dream, he couldn't help shaking, and quickly said silently, "Don't think, don't think." He regained his energy, patted his face, and accidentally wiped the ink on his cheek.Dong Qi'er smiled and said, "My face is dirty!" He took out a handkerchief to wipe it, and while wiping it, Yu Wenche pushed the door in. Seeing this scene, he couldn't help being stunned, and said, "What's wrong?"

"I wiped my face with ink when I was writing." Chen Wangzhi whispered, not daring to look into Yu Wenche's eyes.Yu Wenche walked to the case, picked up the few pages, "You wrote this?"

"I write badly, don't read it." Chen Wangzhi was about to grab it, and when he saw Dong Qi'er kneeling and saluting, he suddenly said, "By the way, you are the king." Then he also knelt down, and was lifted up by Yu Wenche . "I told you, don't kneel and kneel." Yu Wenche took Dong Qier's handkerchief, and said gently, "Write as you write, okay, why did you get all over your face?" Holding Chen Wangzhi's chin with his hand, he wiped it slowly .There are still ink marks on Chen Wangzhi's fair cheeks, "I was sleepy, rubbed my eyes, and it was... all over my face."

Yu Wenche saw that the words were uneven horizontally and vertically, and they were really not written. He could barely make out the first few sentences of the "Tao Te Ching", and his smile couldn't help but stiffen.As a member of the royal family, Chen Wangzhi has watched Zhong Yao's five watches since he was a child, and his handwriting is elegant and beautiful. "Did I say the wrong thing?" Chen Wangzhi looked helpless, "Why are you upset?"

"I'm not unhappy." Yu Wenche handed the handkerchief to Dong Qi'er, and wiped away the remaining ink spots on the corners of Chen Wangzhi's lips with his thumb. "You write so well, better than I do, I'm surprised."

"You lied to me." Chen Wangzhi rolled up the pieces of paper, "It's strange, I can't use my hands. I want the pen to go this way, but it goes there. Do you hate it?"

"That's the fault of the pen. If you are willing to write, I will give you a new pen." Yu Wenche held Chen Wangzhi's wrist, "Mr. Zhang saw your illness, and we will have dinner. After dinner, if you want to sleep, go to bed." Whether it is chess or writing, I will accompany you."

Chen Wangzhi opened his eyes wide, "Really?"

"Well, it's almost Chinese New Year..." Yu Wenche forced a smile on his face, "I have something to discuss with you."

Chen Wangzhi's health is fine, just follow the prescription, cut out a few flavors, and continue taking the medicine.Chen Wangzhi was overjoyed, pulled Yu Wenche to sit down, tilted his head, and said, "When I get better, I can do things."

"Yue Nu, what are you going to do?" Yu Wenche had a plan in his heart, and his depression was relieved, "Want to go out to play?"

"I'll do things for you." Chen Wangzhi touched his wrist, "You are so kind to me, leave me in the palace, ask Mr. Zhang to see a doctor for me, and come to talk with me—I've thought about it for a long time, since you are the king , you treat me like this, I must be your subject. If you don't come to see me, I feel sad. So we have a good relationship and I am very loyal to you, right?" Shocked, I mistakenly thought I had guessed right, and couldn't help but feel complacent. She shook her head and said, "Sister Qi'er said that my illness is almost cured when spring begins. If the illness is eradicated, maybe I can remember it all."

Yu Wenche whispered, "You are not my subject."

"Isn't it?" Chen Wangzhi was very disappointed, "Then why did you keep me in the palace?" He blinked, "Could it be that we are friends?"

Yu Wenche was emotional, and couldn't laugh or cry, "Your eyes are dark, and you didn't sleep at night?"

"Yesterday, I waited for you until midnight." Chen Wangzhi leaned carefully to Yu Wenche's side, hooking the tassels around his waist with his hands, "After falling asleep, I dreamed of many snakes chasing me and biting me. Get into my body. I screamed in horror and ran desperately, unable to escape." He lowered his head a little dejectedly, "Even you didn't come to save me...why didn't you come to save me?"
