Xie Xiang

The medicinal gas in the hall was deposited, angry and dull, not conducive to recuperation, the old medical officer reported to Xie Yi, Xie Yi ordered to open a window on the east side.A cool breeze came in from the window, carrying the smell of green grass, blowing away a lot of the smell of medicine.

Xie Yi was afraid that Liu Zao would be blown, so he ordered someone to move a screen to block the bed.

It was late at night when Liu Zao woke up.She was weak all over, shivering from the cold, the chill seemed to come from her bones, and the brocade quilt on her body was useless, unable to drive away the chill.

Struggling to wake up from the cold, she opened her eyes and saw a person sitting in front of the bed.Liu Zao thought she was dazzled, but there was a phantom, so she hurriedly looked carefully, and saw a beautiful figure shaking in the dim candlelight, and Xie Xiang really came in front of her.

Seeing her wake up, Xie Yi took the medicine bowl and said, "Take medicine first."

Liu Zao sat up propped up, leaning on the pillow.Xie Yi fed her personally, Liu Zao was overwhelmed by the flattery, the medicine was very bitter, she drank it one mouthful, without saying bitterness or frowning.

When the bowl of medicine was exhausted, Xie Yi put the jade bowl on a table and asked, "Is it better?"

Liu Zao's head hurts, his body is weak, and it hasn't improved, but Xie Yi asked, but she still replied: "Okay, okay."

Xie Yi leaned over, and lightly pressed the back of her hand against her light forehead, it was cold, and there was greasy sweat, and the sweat was also cold.On such a day, she was covered with such a thick quilt, and she was still sweating, which showed that she was not feeling well.But Liu Zao's eyes brightened, and Xie Xiang touched her.

"Cold starts from inside the body, and quilts are useless." Xie Yi said, this is what the medical officer said just now.A palace man came from outside the hall, holding a small hand stove, Xie Yi took it, stuffed it into the quilt, and said to Liu Zao, "Your Majesty, use this to keep warm for now."

Liu Zao was indeed shivering from the cold, the hand stove radiated heat, she hugged it, it really worked, and said in a low voice: "Thank you."

Xie Yi glanced at her, but said nothing.Liu Zao was in a daze, not knowing why Prime Minister Xie came here, and why he stayed at the sick bed to take care of her, but she was happy in her heart, she wanted to talk to Xie Yi, but she didn't know how to start it.For a moment, the two of them were speechless.Liu Zao couldn't help being anxious, and thought to himself, it's fine to say anything.But when it comes to his mouth, it seems that he can say everything, but he can't even open his mouth.

A gust of wind blew up outside the window, and the shadows of the trees shook, making a rustling sound.Xie Yi got up and walked to the window, and closed the window.

Liu Zao's eyes were tightly locked on her body, wherever she went, her eyes followed.That figure is graceful and gentle, with a noble and pure air, falling into Liu Zao's eyes, I feel that there is no one in the world comparable to him.

But the joy in her heart gradually dissipated.

Liu Zao remembered, yesterday outside the Changxin Hall, Prime Minister Xie walked in front of her and ignored her, why did he come to take care of her today?It must not be forgiving her, it is probably a helpless move.She is the emperor after all, if something happened, the court would be in chaos, Xie Xiang was forced to take care of her.

With the windows closed, the hall seemed dull again.Liu Zao lowered her eyes, as if all the strength she had gathered after taking the medicine had been exhausted, she spread out on the bed, a burst of tiredness came over her, and her eyelids became heavy again.

Seeing that she was sleepy again, Xie Yi stood in front of the bed and tucked the corner of the quilt for her.Liu Zao looked at her in a daze, and suddenly remembered something in his messy mind. He grabbed Xie Yi's hand and said to her, "Mr. Xie doesn't need to stay here." I won't wake up tonight, and Xie Xiang is about to go to rest."

Her palms were clammy and sweaty, Xie Yi's eyes fell on her hands, and he frowned.

Seeing her frowning, Liu Zao thought of something, all sleepiness dissipated, her heart seemed to be strangled by a hand, the pain was so painful that it was difficult to breathe.She hastily let go, her face full of embarrassment.Xie Yi was startled, and looked up at her.Seeing her looking over, Liu Zao lowered his head a little at a loss, and hid the hand that had grabbed her just now under the quilt, his lips and tongue were full of bitterness.

Xie Yi's heart also felt uncomfortable, she just saw that His Majesty's palms were sweaty, and thought of the imperial physician's order, the night sweats were excessive, the kidneys were yin deficient, and there was something wrong with her foundation.Worried that His Majesty would be injured fundamentally due to this disease, he frowned.She called softly: "Your Majesty."

Liu Zao's face was terribly pale, when Xie Yi called her, she looked up at her, but she didn't dare to meet her eyes, and lowered her head again.

Xie Yi said softly, "It's good to recover from illness."

Liu Zao froze, nodded, and replied, "I know."

The palace man brought water, Xie Yi was afraid that she would sweat and feel uncomfortable, so he would wipe her face every hour.She turned around and twisted the veil. The veil soaked in warm water was refreshing and comfortable. Xie Yi wiped it carefully for her, and said softly, "Your Majesty sleeps."

Liu Zao closed her eyes, but she couldn't fall asleep.The body was very tired, the eyelids seemed to be heavy, but the five senses became sharper.When she heard Xie Xiang get up, the sound of footsteps gradually faded away, and when they disappeared, her heart tightened.Xie Xiang is gone?

Her mind was full of Xiang Xie's frown just now, and she couldn't help feeling desperate.

They all blamed her for not paying attention, and actually touched Xie Xiang.She knew she didn't like it, she hated it, but she forgot it, adding to her disgust.

Liu Zao was in a state of confusion, and his heart was even more sad, a depression that could not be relieved was stuffed in his chest.

I don't know how long it has passed, Liu Zao has been ups and downs in a half-dream and half-awake, she smells the familiar fragrance, which belongs to Xie Xiang.The scent reassured her more than the best incense in the world.Liu Zao tried hard to open her eyes, and said to Xie Yi, don't guard her, don't wrong herself like this, endured the nausea, and guarded her bedside.Like this, what is it?But he couldn't open his eyes, and his throat seemed to be blocked with mud, so he couldn't make a sound.

She felt the soft fingertips gently stroking the corners of her eyes, again and again, and there seemed to be a sigh in her ear.Liu Zao's heart suddenly collapsed, she thought, whether it's pity or sympathy, if Prime Minister Xie is willing to talk to her, that's good enough, she still has nothing to be dissatisfied with.

Xie Yi's voice sounded and fell into Liu Zao's ears, so gentle and amiable, she said: "Be good, don't cry."

Liu Zaofang felt that his face was hot and humid, and actually shed tears.

Not long after, darkness hit like a wave, and she fell into a deep sleep, knowing nothing.

During the night, the little emperor's condition was unstable, the medical officer came several times, and in the end, he and Xie Yi stood guard beside the bed.It wasn't until dawn, when the emperor fell asleep, that the medical officials went to the side hall and fell asleep at the desk.

Hu Ao was also afraid of thanking the prime minister for his poor health, so he stepped forward and said, "The prime minister has been up all night, and he wants to take a rest too? In front of your majesty, there are officials to take care of you."

Xie Yi glanced at the drip, when it was nearly two hours, the palace servant brought up the medicine, she got up to take it, and said, "I'll do it."

Hu Ao didn't dare to say much, so he saluted and stepped aside.

With Xie Yi around, Liu Zao was indeed much more stable, except for repeating himself at night, and for the next whole day, except for the occasional cough or two, there was nothing to worry about.

After seeing it, the medical officer knew that the condition was in remission, and the rest would be taken care of.

Liu Zao woke up at noon, and Xie Yi fed her a bowl of rice porridge.The rice porridge is boiled thin and can be swallowed directly without chewing.Liu Zao didn't have much appetite, but when Xie Yi fed her, she tried hard to swallow.

Xie Yi fed her porridge, wiped off the porridge stains from the corners of her mouth, and put her back on the bed.Drinking water and medicine, she did everything by herself, guarded by the bed, and took good care of it.

Liu Zao's energy was low, she sometimes woke up from sleep, when she opened her eyes, Xie Yi was by her side, either holding a scroll of bamboo slips to read, or just sitting, always in a place where she could see when she opened her eyes.

Liu Zaohui couldn't help but stared at her obsessively, and then turned his gaze away before Xie Yi noticed it, and looked elsewhere.Xie Yi was very patient and meticulous. She rarely spoke, but her concern could be seen in every move she made.

Liu Zao couldn't help thinking, if this person really belonged to her, it would be fine.If her current concern was not due to pity or helplessness, then it would be fine.

But she knew it wasn't, no matter how much she admired Xie Xiang, and wanted her to fall in love with her, she also knew that Xie Xiang Duan couldn't suddenly accept her heart.

Liu Zao would feel sorry for her, she felt that she was too wronged to thank her, and it would be so embarrassing to take care of someone she hated.She wanted to wait for her to sleep for a while, and when she woke up, she would ask Xie Xiang to go back to the mansion, so she didn't have to stay here anymore.Since Xie Xiang said the phrase "You know how disgusting I was in my heart that day", Liu Zao thought about this sentence day and night, thinking about what she did in the past, and felt more and more that she was actually not worthy Thank you for treating her well.

But people are always selfish, every time she wakes up, she is reluctant to say what she has thought up before, Xie Xiangruo really goes back to the house, when will they meet again next time, and when will they talk again.

The little emperor opened his eyes, and it was dusk again, the screen in front of the bed was moved away, the setting sun shone through the window, and the yellow halo fainted on the floor.

Xie Xiang sat there, holding a pen in his hand, and wrote a few words on the bamboo slips.

Liu Zao knew that this must be an important official document, which must be dealt with by the prime minister as soon as possible without delay.After Xie Yi wrote down a few words, she kept an eye on the bed to see if the emperor had woken up.This time I looked over and saw that she was awake, so I put down my pen and ink for a while, got up and walked over.

"Does Your Majesty feel better?" Xie Yi asked.

Liu Zao looked at her and didn't speak.

Xie Yi was not in a hurry, sat down by the bed and looked at her complexion.

Apart from being tired, Liu Zao is much better. She will probably be able to get out of bed and walk tomorrow. Seeing Xie Yi looking at her with concern, she can't help but lose her mind, thinking that if Prime Minister Xie really treats her well, it would be great Woolen cloth.It is conceivable that this is impossible.Liu Zao's heart ached, she smiled and said, "I'm fine."

Hu Ao came in and said, "Your Majesty, it's time to take medicine."

Liu Zao glanced at Xie Yi, nodded, and said, "Come in."

The medical officer came in with the medicine in his hand, bowed before the bed, put the medicine on the table first, and then said: "Please take your majesty's pulse."

Liu Zao stretched out his wrist and let him feel the pulse.The medical officer felt for the pulse carefully, but there was no joy on his face, he just respectfully said: "Your Majesty's illness is already recovering, but the illness in his heart still needs to be evacuated. Otherwise, the depression will be blocked, and the years will not be preserved."

Liu Zao couldn't help being ashamed when she heard the words, she resisted not looking at Xie Yi, and calmly said: "I've made a note, Qing is going to rest."

The doctor withdrew.

But even though he withdrew, what he said fell into the ears of the two.

Liu Zao felt embarrassed, and also felt that because of the doctor's words, she had no dignity at all in front of Prime Minister Xie.Xie Yi didn't seem to hear anything, brought the medicine and came to feed her.

Liu Zao drank the medicine and saw that it was going to be dark, and when it was dark, he would be so tired that Xie Xiang would stay up all night.She finally made up her mind and said to Xie Yi: "Thank you for your hard work these two days, thank you and go back home."

Xie Yi was holding the medicine bowl, her body froze.
