Xie Xiang

For the next few days, Liu Zao couldn't see meat, and couldn't even smell meat.Hu Ao was worried, but Liu Zao didn't realize what was going on, he took care of Xie Yi with peace of mind, and took care of everything by himself.

Xie Yi woke up the next day, but she was weaker than when she was injured.Liu Zao talked to her when she was awake, and went to the proclamation room after she fell asleep to see how the empress dowager and Liang Ji were arguing again.

Sun Ciqing is a speculator. He first voted for the prime minister, and now the prime minister was injured, so he immediately switched to the emperor. He was afraid that he would talk to the people and he would not have a foothold in the future, so he refused to accept the emperor's offer.But he refused verbally, but he was always convenient with the emperor during his actions.

When it was said that the prime minister had cured the poison and he would recover soon, Liang Ji became more and more crazy, but it was of no avail. Although he would not be defeated, because Liu Zao responded in time, he could not go any further.Such a stalemate lasted for a long time, not to mention that Prime Minister Xie returned to the court after recovering from injury, even the emperor alone could find an opportunity to grow stronger and wipe them out.

Liang Ji went to Changle Palace frequently to discuss major plans with the Queen Mother.

It's been four days.

It has been sunny for four days, the wind has subsided and the sun has warmed up, and the snow outside has softened.Xie Yi was still lying on the bed, the poison left in her body made her feel weak, but she had endured the pain of bone scraping, the rest was nothing more than taking more medicine and taking a rest, there was nothing to worry about.

Liu Zao knew that she was used to worrying, so she didn't tell her, but she thought more, so she told her what happened in the court, and also told her how to deal with it, so that she could feel at ease.

At night, the warmth of the day melts away, and the cold penetrates through the cracks in the doors and windows, and the whistling wind can be heard clearly through the windows.

Liu Zao dismissed all the ministers and hurried back. As soon as she entered the sleeping hall, she saw the candles burning in the hall, and the man was lying on her bed.

She walked into the hall quickly, then hurriedly closed the door, turned around, and saw Xie Yi opened her eyes and turned to look at the door.Liu Zao's eyes lit up, he strode to the bed, bent over and asked, "Auntie is awake? Are you hungry?"

Xie Yi's eyes stayed on her face for a moment, then lowered his eyelids, and said, "I'm not hungry."

Hu Ao came up with the medicine.

Liu Zao had become very proficient in taking care of Xie Yi, smelling the smell of medicine, he bent over and helped Xie Yi up, let her lean into his arms, and took the medicine bowl to feed her.

Xie Yi was unable to move, so she let her play with her, leaning against her bosom, and let her feed and drink the medicine.

The medicine was naturally bitter, but Xie Yi was used to it, and even after a bowl of medicine was exhausted, she didn't even frown.Liu Zao handed the bowl to Hu Ao. According to the usual practice, she should have put her back on the bed, but for some reason today, Liu Zao hugged her, lowered his head, and sniffed her neck curiously.

Her breath approached, the tip of her nose rubbed against the side of her neck, Xie Yi closed her eyes, and turned her head slightly, full of repulsion.

"My aunt smells delicious." Liu Zao's voice sounded.

Xie Yi's tone was light: "Stop talking nonsense."

"It's fragrant." Liu Zao insisted.She always felt that the smell on Xie Xiang's body was familiar and pleasant.I didn't know why I felt this way before, but after learning about the past, I guessed that maybe it was when Prime Minister Xie often hugged her when she was young, and she remembered it in her heart.

Anyway, she liked it.

She settled Xie Yi down again, and couldn't help but ask, "What kind of incense does Auntie usually use?"

"Never used incense." Xie Yi replied.

Liu Zao showed that it was so, and said seriously: "That is the fragrance that my aunt was born with."

If these words were spoken by a man, they would be frivolous and weak.Xie Yi was already annoyed, but when she turned her head, she saw Liu Zao's clear eyes. There was a slight joy and deep attachment in those clear eyes, but there was no frivolity in them.

Liu Zao didn't hear Xie Yi's words, so he was not in a hurry, the doctor told him that for the next half month, Xie Yi would be tired, his body would be weak, and he would often fall asleep.

She only thought that Xie Yi was tired and didn't like to talk, so she asked people to bring warm water to scrub Xie Yi, so that she could rest earlier.

This is something we do every day.The palace people had already prepared warm water, and when His Majesty summoned it, they sent it in.Liu Zao skillfully twisted the veil, and wiped Xie Yi's face first.

The warm veil was very comfortable when it touched the skin, and Liu Zao's strength was just right, so Xie Yi didn't feel the slightest discomfort.

Liu Zao wiped her face and neck carefully, and her hands should be next, but she stopped for a moment, looked at Xie Yi, and asked with concern: "Is it uncomfortable for my aunt? Why don't I wipe your body for you? "

When she said that, she didn't think of anything else, she just wanted to thank Xiang Xiang for sweating, and her body might be sticky and uncomfortable, and she would feel much more comfortable after scrubbing, but as soon as she finished speaking, she thought about it deeper, her face turned red, and she hurriedly turned to wash it off. A veil, to cover up her burning face.

She turned her back, so she didn't see Xie Yi's suddenly cold face and the disappointment in his eyes.

"No need," she said.

Liu Zao felt sorry, but more, he was still worried that Xie Xiang would be uncomfortable sleeping like this, so he wiped her hands carefully, bypassing the wound, and wiped her arm, and said: "I will ask the imperial physician's order tomorrow, It will take a few more days before I can take a bath." After finishing speaking, he looked at Xie Yi with a guilty conscience, and mentioned it as if casually, "I ordered the palace people to make new clothes, and I got a lot in two days, which can be used for My aunt changed her laundry, and as for the spring shirt after the weather warms up in the past month or so, I'm also preparing it."

She spoke naturally, her tone completely meant that Mr. Xie would stay here for a long time, without even thinking about it, Mr. Xie's injury was stable, it would not be appropriate to stay in the palace any longer, it was time to go back to the palace to recuperate.

After she finished speaking, she was very apprehensive, her small eyes concealed her expectation, and she pretended to look at Xie Yi nonchalantly.Xie Yi didn't want to answer, but she looked at her like this, so she could only say: "That's fine."

Liu Zao was immediately elated, she really wanted to say that she didn't have to leave at all, but stayed in the palace and stayed with her.I was afraid of being too anxious and scared to thank Xiang, so I had to bear it.

But even so, Xie Yi's understatement of "Yeah" was enough to make her happy for a long time.

Liu Zao's steps were much lighter, as if he was happy for a careless word from his loved one.This appearance fell into Xie Yi's eyes and made Xie Yi sigh.

Liu Zao didn't know what Xie Yi was thinking, she simply felt happy, so she went outside the palace and called the palace servants to lay a mattress for her.

She has been sleeping next to Xie Yi's bed for the past few days, so that she can take care of her at night.

The palace people moved a low couch, took bedding and laid it out for His Majesty to rest at night.Liu Zao had taken a bath and was wearing thin pajamas, so he got into the quilt.

The low couch was very close to the dragon bed, no more than three steps away. When Xie Yi turned his head, he could see Liu Zao lying between the brocade quilts, with only a small head exposed.She had a bath, and her body was full of fresh breath. Her small face was flushed by the warm water, her hair was bundled up, and her white and slender neck could be seen faintly, giving off a youthful and beautiful atmosphere.

As if she noticed Xie Yi's gaze, she turned her head, smiled with her, and asked warmly, "Aren't you sleeping, aunt?"

Xie Yi thought for a while and said, "Does Your Majesty feel tired?"

Liu Zao shook his head.She is not tired at all, she can take care of Xie Xiang so closely, even though she is so busy every day that it is difficult to even drink saliva, she still does not feel tired.

She originally thought that Mr. Xie had something to say when he asked this question, but she didn't want to continue, so Mr. Xie fell silent again.Liu Zao looked at her, only then realized that Prime Minister Xie seemed a bit taciturn.She hurriedly recalled the past few days of getting along, and found that Xie Xiang's reticence was not because she was weak and tired, as if she simply didn't want to talk.

Thinking of this, she became a little worried, lifted the brocade quilt and got down on the couch, ran to Xie Yi's side, touched her forehead, looked at her expression, and asked, "Auntie, what's wrong?"

She looked anxious and sincere, which made Xie Yi a little lost in thought.If His Majesty didn't have these thoughts, it would be great to just be a pair of aunt and nephew with her.

When she didn't speak, Liu Zao became anxious and said, "I'll call the medical officer." He was about to leave.

Xie Yi stopped her: "No need to go, I have nothing to do."

Liu Zao was still worried, and asked, "Is everything all right?"

Xie Yi nodded.

Liu Zao hesitated for a moment, then sat back on the bed and asked, "Since nothing happened, why is my aunt so sleepy and doesn't like to talk?"

Xie Yi looked at her thin pajamas. Although there were many braziers in the hall, the wind could still leak in through the gaps. His majesty's clothes were thin, so she was afraid that she would catch the cold, so she patted the back of her hand and said: "Your Majesty, go back to sleep first."

Liu Zao was obedient and went back to the couch to lie down.

Most of the lights in the hall were extinguished, leaving only a few lights for night use.Under the reflection of those few weak lights, Liu Zao's face was somewhat blurred, but her eyes were so bright.

Xie Yi suddenly didn't want to blame her anymore.At His Majesty's age, he is curious about love affairs, and he can't blame her if he has any strange thoughts. As long as he is well guided, he will be able to get back on the right track.What's more, she has already made up her mind that after the empress dowager and Liang Ji are settled down, she will resign and go to the country, far away from Chang'an.After a long time, His Majesty can understand that what he is thinking about now is just relying on her.Maybe she thought it was ridiculous when she recalled that when she was young, she was attracted to a woman who was 14 years older and old enough to be her mother.

Thinking of this, Xie Yi's heart was filled with sourness.The Empress Dowager is at the end of her strength, and it won't take long for her to be pacified, and it won't take long for her to transfer power to His Majesty.She won't be seeing her anytime soon.

"What does Your Majesty want to say?" Xie Yi asked.

Liu Zao naturally had a lot to say to her, she looked bright, and was about to speak, but hesitated for a while, and asked, "Will it disturb my aunt's rest?"

Xie Yi smiled: "No."

Liu Zao felt relieved, rolled his eyes, and smiled.She thought for a while, and then asked the question she had been thinking about for a long time: "On the day of healing, my aunt said to me 'Don't blame me' when she was in a coma. I thought about it for a long time, but I didn't get a clue."

As she spoke, she turned over, lay down on the couch, rested her chin on the back of her hand, blinked, looked at Xie Yi, and asked, "Auntie, what do you want me to do to you?"

Xie Yi didn't remember that she had ever told His Majesty about this, but when she asked, she answered according to her own will: "I want Your Majesty to be a wise king, and don't disappoint my support and expectations."

It turned out to be this.After hearing this, Liu Zao suddenly felt lost.
