Xie Xiang

In the coldest season, people with strong bodies can easily catch cold if they are not careful, let alone Liu Zao.

She hadn't been sick for some years, and she seemed to be in good spirits and complexion, but she didn't know how many times the wind blew in the past two days, and she suffered from the wind and cold again.

During the winter solstice, there was a big sacrifice, and at night, Nuo was performed in the palace. This was a major event in a year, and it was related to sacrifices and the joy and anger of the gods.She pretended so well that even Xie Yi didn't notice it.

So at night, before the exorcism was over, she couldn't hold on anymore, her body was hot, she was groggy, and it was difficult to stand up.The eunuch serving nearby sensed something was wrong and did not dare to say anything, he stepped forward to help her while sending someone to invite Xie Yi.

When Xie Yi hurried over, Liu Zao couldn't even open his eyes, relying on the familiar aura on Xie Yi's body, barely recognized the person, and called out vaguely: "Yi'er."

Xie Yi was angry and worried, so she wrapped the cloak she brought around her body, and people spread the word that Li Wen would preside over the Nuo on her behalf, and bring Liu Zao back to the bedroom.

The night is dark, although there are palace lanterns and torches to illuminate, it is still vague and unclear.All the ministers saw a man suddenly came and helped His Majesty to leave.They were wondering, leaning out to look around, Prime Minister Li Wenxing went up to the head, and said loudly: "The Han Dynasty is prosperous, and all evils will retreat!"

It is to succeed His Majesty and preside over the ceremony.

All the ministers guessed what happened, and suddenly looked at each other, and suddenly realized that the person who came just now was Gonghou!

Liu Zao didn't like others to call Xie Yi Jieyu, because her title was commensurate with her.Hu Ao had already changed his words that day, but when he heard that His Majesty referred to Jieyu as Marquis of Gong, he hurriedly changed it back.The rest of the palace people naturally followed his winks.The title in the palace is fixed, and the officials outside the palace follow.After going back and forth, no one mentioned the word Jieyu.

After raising the issue of self-reliance, Xie Yi seemed to have evaporated from the world, and there was no news for several months. Everyone only knew that she was in the palace, but they hadn't seen her yet, so they didn't react for a while.

Nuo masters wear animal skins and willow masks, hold torches, dance Nuo dances, and shout loudly to drive away evil spirits.Fang Xiangshi walked over in a robe embroidered with flying cranes and auspicious clouds, dipped willow branches in water, and swayed them on everyone's bodies to express the meaning of exorcism and blessing.All the officials looked solemn, but their hearts were active.

Liu Zao was helped onto the palace carriage and leaned against Xie Yi.Xie Yi touched her forehead, it was so hot.She was very angry and wanted to reproach her, but she couldn't bear to see Liu Zao with her eyes closed and her brows furrowed.

"Not yet... blessed..." Liu Zao said vaguely.

They are all sick like this, and they are still thinking about receiving blessings.Xie Yi suppressed her anger and said, "I'll give it to you next year."

Liu Zao didn't know whether he had listened to it, or was unable to speak at all, so he curled up and pillowed on Xie Yi's lap.

When they arrived at the bedroom, they encountered trouble when they got off the palace carriage.Liu Zao grabbed Xie Yi's clothes and refused to let go.If she is awake, she can still reason with her, but she is so sick that she can't wake her up no matter what, so she can only be held by her.

When Liu Zao governs the world, she enjoys playing Cuju, riding and shooting. She has developed a lot of strength and is able to hug Xie Yi.Xie Yi has always been a civil servant, she doesn't have much strength, how can she be hugged completely.

The two stalemate in the car.

Seeing this, Hu Ao hurriedly asked two palace servants to come forward to help him, and then he moved the Holy Majesty out of the chariot.

Several medical officers were already waiting, and they placed Liu Zao on the bed, and the medical officers immediately stepped forward to check the pulse.After the examination, the leading imperial physician Ling sighed: "Your Majesty has been tired for days, and when evil wind invades the body, he will become seriously ill."

Xie Yi heard the word serious illness, and said solemnly, "How to treat it?"

"At this juncture, the most important thing is to lower the body heat. Wait for the minister to prescribe a medicine, decoct it and take it with His Majesty."

Xie Yi sat by the bed, looked at Liu Zao with her eyes tightly closed, and nodded absentmindedly: "You go."

The Imperial Physician Order led several medical officers to withdraw.

Xie Yi touched Liu Zao's forehead, it was still hot, and the anger that blamed her for not caring for her body turned into worry and distress, and said in a low voice, "Why didn't you tell me?"

The illness became like this, even if it happened in a day, she must have been suffering for several days, but she didn't reveal the slightest bit, until she fell ill and couldn't hold on anymore, so she didn't try to be brave.

Liu Zao's eyes were closed tightly, and the center of his brows was wrinkled, as if he was extremely uncomfortable in a dream.Xie Yi stroked her brow, and finally sighed.

It takes half an hour to decoct the medicine. During this half hour, you can't just do nothing.Following the medical officer's instructions, Xie Yi ordered someone to fetch water, soaked the veil with water, then wrung it dry, and wiped the exposed skin such as hands and face with the wet kerchief to dissipate body heat.After wiping off the handkerchief, it seemed to be more comfortable, Liu Zao's frowning brows relaxed a little bit.

Xie Yi guarded her, wiping her every moment.

After the medicine was cooked, she helped Liu Zao to sit up a little.Liu Zao opened his eyes, a little dazed, and when he saw Xie Yi, he focused his gaze on her.She felt extremely uncomfortable, her mouth and nose were burning hot, her mind was dizzy, her limbs were sore and tired, her whole body felt as if a stone had fallen, heavy and unable to exert strength.

Xie Yi took the medicine bowl from the palace man, bit a spoonful, blew it until it was warm, and fed it to Liu Zao's mouth. The medicine tasted bitter and pungent, just by smelling it, one knew it was extremely difficult to swallow.Liu Zao shook his head feebly, Xie Yi said, "Only by taking medicine can you recover from illness."

Her tone was firm, and Liu Zao slowly remembered that she was sick, and Prime Minister Xie must be angry, so he dared not stop taking medicine.She swallowed very slowly, she hadn't eaten anything all day, her stomach was empty, and the foul-smelling concoction slid down her throat, bringing on nausea.

She endured it for a long while, but finally couldn't take it anymore, threw herself on the bedside, and vomited out all the medicine she just took.

I drank it for nothing.

Xie Yi patted her on the back, and when she finished vomiting, she said to her left and right: "Bring another bowl of medicine."

The Imperial Physician Ling had taken care of her body for several years, so Xie Yi knew his habits, and every time he decocted the medicine, he would keep an extra bowl for emergencies.

Liu Zao wanted to drink again, and felt nauseous again, but her stomach was empty, and she retched for a long time, only some medicine juice.Xie Yi didn't say anything, not even a word of comfort, took a wet handkerchief to wipe her mouth, and ordered the palace servants to tidy her up.

Liu Zao was already dizzy and weak, so she vomited again, exhausting her remaining strength.She looked at Xie Yi's expression, and wanted to act like a baby to tell Xie Yi not to be angry, but in the end she couldn't even open her mouth.

When the new medicine was delivered, Liu Zao resisted and dared not say anything, so he could only swallow it forcefully.This time, Xie Yi fed even more slowly, letting her wait for a while after each spoonful before feeding the next spoonful.

Although this feeding method prolongs the pain of taking the bitter medicine, it gave the stomach time to adapt, and this time I drank a bowl of medicine smoothly.

Liu Zao took medicine and fell asleep again.

Xie Yi stood by the bed and told Hu Ao to prepare some food.She thought for a while, then carefully ordered: "Make a bowl of clear porridge to go with the marinated meat. The porridge should be thinner, and the meat should be stewed softer."

At this time, it is best to eat light food, but Liu Zaosu likes meat, so if I only have a bowl of porridge with her, I am afraid it will be difficult to swallow.The marinated meat has lost its greasy taste and left a meaty taste, which is just right for her to eat with clear porridge.

Hu Ao listened with his hands down, made a promise, and withdrew.

Whether the fever can be reduced, tonight is the key.Xie Yi guarded in confusion, constantly checking on Liu Zao's situation, the medical officers outside the hall did not dare to slack off, they all sat together to discuss how to use the medicine and the condition of the disease, so that Gong Hou could summon him at any time.

Liu Zao used medicine twice in one night, and took half a bowl of porridge, Xie Yi took care of them all, and never handed them over to anyone else.

Seeing that it was not good for her to suffer like this, Hu Ao advised her to rest for a while.Xie Yi also knew that she couldn't hold on, so she asked someone to carry a couch and put it in the hall.

She slept together for two hours, always half asleep and half awake, always worried about Liu Zao's condition, always worried that she would wake up thirsty and no one would give her water in time.

At dawn, she simply got up and called a medical officer to check her pulse.

As soon as the medical officer felt his pulse, he breathed a sigh of relief, the pulse became much more stable, and his body heat also dropped.This time the illness was fierce, but it was not as difficult to deal with as before.

After the medical officer and Xie Yi reported it, they went to discuss with their colleagues to revise the prescription, and reduced the dosage of those few herbs with stronger medicinal properties in the original prescription.When the body temperature drops, it is not necessary to use the medicine so violently, it is better to be gentle and rest mainly.

In the afternoon, Liu Zao was no longer so drowsy. She saw that Xie Yi had been guarding her and hadn't had a good rest last night, so she advised her to go to sleep: "I'm almost healed, go and rest for a while." Rest, you don't have to keep guarding."

Xie Yi was reading the scrolled bamboo slips. Hearing this, he raised his head and glanced at her, then continued to look at the bamboo slips.

Liu Zao tortured herself to become ill, she was already guilty, seeing that Xie Yi ignored her, she didn't dare to persuade her anymore.But after all, she still cared about Xie Yi, and after a while, she couldn't help but said: "You go, there are palace servants, there is no need to keep guard."

Xie Yi put down the bamboo slips, and said calmly, "Why, Your Majesty thinks that the servants are not serving you well, so you want someone else to serve you?"

Liu Zao was so frightened that he quickly waved his hands: "No, no..."

She was already looking sick, but this panic made her even more pitiful.Xie Yi's heart hardened for a while, seeing her like this, he couldn't bear to embarrass her any longer, so he pushed her hands back under the quilt, and said, "I have a sense of proportion, you just keep it alive."

Liu Zao nodded, but his eyes never left Xie Yi.

Xie Yi's propriety was not just a mere word of propriety.She knew that she had to take care of Liu Zao and not exhaust herself, so she often went to catch up on sleep when Liu Zao fell asleep.

Liu Zao's physique, once sick, must be a serious illness.Before Xie Yi and the medical officers could completely let go of this tone.Her temperature rose again, this time with a ferocious momentum, almost burning her heart and lungs, and the medical officers took a lot of effort to stabilize her condition.

After half a month of wind and cold, she finally recovered.It's just that he has been ill for a while, his body is weak, his hands and feet are soft, and the medical officer ordered him to rest for a while.She simply leaned on the bed and didn't get up.

The court affairs have been accumulated for half a month, and the memorials have piled up about a room.Seeing that she was fine, Xie Yi ordered people to bring the most important memorials to the bedroom.

The memorials submitted to the imperial case were all read by others, and they were prioritized.Xie Yi picked the most important ones to approve, as in the past, she first took a blank bamboo slip, and wanted to write the instructions on the bamboo slip, and then Liu Zao copied it to the memorial.

Liu Zao was leaning on the bed, seeing this, her heart moved, and she said: "There is no need to make such twists and turns, just approve it directly."

Xie Yi paused, and looked over with cold eyes.

Although he couldn't bear to ignore her, Xie Yi was still angry with her, he didn't care about his body and couldn't get used to it, so in the past few days, she took care of her meticulously, but her face was cold.

When Liu Zao was glanced at by her, she was so nervous that she had nowhere to put her hands and feet, and her tone softened, and said: "No, don't bother, you can criticize me the same."

Xie Yi said indifferently: "It's good to be healthy, don't worry about anything else." After finishing speaking, he lowered his head and ignored her.

Except for many years ago, when Xie Xiang hadn't been tempted by her, she had never been so cold.Even back then, when she lost her head in a hurry and wanted to give them their status with the birth of the country, Prime Minister Xie had never faced him with such a cold face.

Liu Zao suddenly seemed to be unable to catch his breath, and his heart tightened in pain.She was silent for a while, trying to be obedient and recuperate, but when she closed her eyes, Xie Yi looked cold.

Liu Zao was in a state of disarray, Yi'er was just angry, she was not going to accompany her, and she promised that she would never do it again in the future, and she would forgive her.But even though she thought so, she was not at all sure.

She opened her eyes and looked at Xie Yi timidly for a while.Xie Yi sensed her gaze and wanted to ignore her, but he didn't last long, he still glanced at her and said coldly: "But this minister has disturbed His Majesty's cleanliness, so that His Majesty can't sleep?"

Where had she ever said such kind words to her before.Liu Zao's expression darkened, and she sincerely admitted her mistake: "I know I was wrong, and I won't do it again, so don't be angry."
