The Way of the Consort

Chapter 113 Surprise!

On the way back to Zhuangzi, Ji Zhao developed a high fever. After getting into the carriage, Ji Zhao's unbroken hand kept tightly holding onto Zongzhen's finger, not letting Zongzhen take it away at all.

After arriving at the villa, Ji Zhao's own doctor, Dr. Bai, hurried over to diagnose and treat his wounds.

Doctor Bai is very good at medicine, but not very good at setting bones. Fortunately, the guards quickly brought a carload of imperial doctors. In the ice and snow, some of these imperial doctors didn't even have time to change their clothes when they went out, and some were still eating late. Some of them were even engaged in certain activities...they were all pulled out, all of them were sweaty from running, and after coming in, they briefly exchanged a few words with Doctor Bai, and then began to set bones for Ji Zhao.

Even in a coma, Ji Zhao was sweating from the pain. Zong Zhen almost knelt on the side of the bed, holding Ji Zhao's uninjured hand all the time, looking at Ji Zhao with soft eyes, looking at How cold they are.

The imperial doctors were all under a lot of pressure, but fortunately they had excellent medical skills, and despite the death gaze of His Royal Highness, they successfully spliced ​​the bones.

The imperial doctors were all relieved, Zong Zhen took the handkerchief and carefully handed it to Ji Zhao to wipe the sweat off his forehead.

Wiping off the sweat, he was about to pull out his index finger, but Ji Zhao, who was in a coma, still clenched it tightly, so Zong Zhen had no choice but to stand in this position, get up and sit on the side of the bed, and asked, "How will it affect the son-in-law in the future? I heard people say that after the bone is set, whenever it is rainy, the broken bone will hurt."

"Returning to Your Highness, the son-in-law's body has always been good, and the son-in-law is still young, and he is still growing his body and bones. As long as he rests well for a hundred days, it will hardly have any impact in the future, but don't be greedy anymore. Cool, for example, you should use less ice in summer, and you must not wear less clothes when it turns warm and cold, and it will be completely cured after a few years of maintenance, and it will never hurt in rainy days."

Zongzhen nodded and ordered: "You go to decoct the medicine, get rid of the fever first, and the attendants of the son-in-law also need to be treated well." Then he said to Baoqing, "You take Xiaoquanzi to talk to Luo Yuyi and the others. Discuss and discuss, draw up more medicinal recipes."

When Chen Keye returned to the city, Cheng Shen followed him back to the palace and brought Xiao Quanzi over.

"Yes..." Baoqing retreated with the imperial doctors.

Dr. Bai has treated Ji Zhao since he was a child, and he knows Ji Zhao's body best. He came over to do a more careful examination, and was asked a lot by the prince before going out. Now only Zongzhen and Ji Zhao were left in the room.

Zong Zhen leaned over and looked carefully at Ji Zhao's pale face.In the process of falling off the cliff, Ji Zhao's face was also scratched by the branches, and there were many large and small cuts, and ointment was applied on them at this time.Zongzhen sighed in his heart, and stretched out his hand to gently caress Ji Zhao's face. He was glad that Ji Zhao passed out later, otherwise, how would he bear the pain of setting bones and dealing with the wound?

At this moment, thinking of Ji Zhao's red, purple, swollen, wounded leg, he couldn't help but feel palpitations.

Zong Zhen blamed himself quite a bit.

Even if he was hated by Ji Zhao, he should have prevented Ji Zhao from coming to the mountain, let alone completely ignored Ji Zhao. If he had arranged for someone to watch Ji Zhao, why did he do this?He blamed himself and felt remorse, he couldn't help but withdraw his hand, clenched his fist and hit his forehead hard.

"Your Highness—" Bao Qing walked in softly, "King Zheng is asking the Fifth Young Master to see you."

Zong Zhen said coldly: "No, tell them to go down the mountain immediately."

Bao Qing responded, and retreated, Zong Zhen thought of the hasty glance in the forest, and groaned in his heart, he threw Zong Mi's figure out of his mind, Ji Zhao's face was sweating again, he picked up the handkerchief and carefully helped Ji Zhao rubbed, the more he rubbed, the more distressed he became.

Counting it carefully, Ji Zhao has really been sick a lot in the past few months. He Qiniang was so frightened last time that he didn't even dare to sleep.

He bent down, holding Ji Zhao's face gently with his fingers, his eyes were tenderness that he had never understood and known, and he just looked at Ji Zhao like this.

Looking at it, he seemed to be in a daze, his face was getting closer and closer, and when he was about to imprint a kiss on Ji Zhao's forehead——

"Your Highness, the medicine is ready." Doctor Bai spoke outside the door.

Zong Zhen blinked, sat up straight immediately, and said slowly: "Come in..."

Ji Zhao's arm was already hanging around his neck. Zong Zhen carefully lifted him up, leaned against his arms, and began to feed him medicine. Halfway through the feeding, Baoqing came back. Later, throughout the night, there were imperial doctors from time to time Over the past, Baoqing was always there, and Zongzhen and Ji Zhao were never alone in the same room.

Even he himself seemed to have forgotten what happened just now.

At dawn, Ji Zhao's fever subsided, which was a blessing. The imperial doctors felt that the burden on their bodies was finally lightened, and fed Ji Zhao another bowl of medicine. Ji Zhao's face looked better, but I haven't woken up yet.Zongzhen's fingers were always held in the palm of Ji Zhao's hand. Zongzhen sat by the bed all night, looking down at Ji Zhao. Whether it was Baoqing who was by his side or the imperial doctors, no one could see him. Eyes, no one knows what His Highness the Crown Prince is thinking.

Until the sound of birds chirping in the courtyard woke up the sky and dawn broke, Ji Zhao slowly opened his eyes.

Ji Zhao woke up in a daze. Before he felt the pain all over his body, he first saw Zong Zhen's eyes. Those eyes were so beautiful, like a quiet night sky, mysterious and vast, which made everyone want to fall into it. Among them, become the stars in the night sky.

Ji Zhao was in a daze, but at this moment he was sober.

Since returning from Liangguo, being treated like that by Zongzhen, the reason why he was so angry and even ran to the mountains to play with Zongyan brothers all day was actually very deliberate.Rather than saying that he doesn't care about everything related to Zong Zhen, it's better to say that he cares deeply.

At a certain moment, he discovered his own desire to possess Zong Zhen, which made him have too many strange and dangerous emotions.

This realization made him panic, so he subconsciously wanted to escape, and he wanted to distract him with various people or things that could distract him.

There were also many times when he thought he had escaped successfully.

Look, these days, how much fun he is playing on the mountain. In the days without Zongzhen, he is still loved by everyone, and he can make other friends, he told himself so, and he really thinks so.It seems that in this way, the unique desire for monopoly can disappear.

It wasn't until this time that Ji Zhao saw Zong Zhen's eyes again that he knew that they were all fake.

This night sky is so beautiful that he doesn't want to forget it at all, he can't forget it, and he only allows himself, the star, to coexist with it.

Ji Zhao didn't understand why, and he didn't know what the owner of this sky thought, but at this moment, he just wanted to monopolize it.

But what position does he have to monopolize.

Is there any way to monopolize it?

Ji Zhao's nose was sore, and tears fell down unconsciously. He felt that he was very strange, and he didn't like himself like this.

"Why are you crying? Does it hurt somewhere?" Zong Zhen immediately leaned down and asked him worriedly.

Ji Zhao sniffled his nose. His body was in severe pain. There were too many wounds, and the pain was different. There was dull pain, burning pain, and stiff pain. He could only turn his head to the bed. Speak, let the tears continue to fall.

Zong Zhen's heart twitched with his tears, he stretched out his hand and gently turned his face back, coaxing softly: "Stop crying, the doctor said, the pain will stop in a few days."

Ji Zhao didn't want to talk to him, so he turned his face away.

He didn't know anything at all, and he didn't cry because of pain.

"You don't want to talk to me?" Zong Zhen lowered his voice, and the imperial doctors in the room shuddered and looked at each other.

Hearing this, Ji Zhao cried even harder: "Isn't it because you don't want to talk to me... woo woo woo..."

Baoqing quickly turned around and went out. Seeing this, the imperial doctors swarmed and ran away immediately. The inner room was emptied in an instant. Baoqing closed the door of the bedroom outside and did not stay for long. He only told the guards outside to guard him. Go to Dust Star.

Ji Zhao faced the inside of the bed, crying and said, "I went to look for you, and I said I couldn't sleep, it wasn't you who hurt me, and told me to go to the doctor if I had something to do, and don't look for you, didn't you think I was annoying... woo Woooo..."

Zong Zhen was in a complicated mood.

"I'll give you a stone, my favorite stone, and I'll give it to you, but you're going to hate me, and you're talking about Zhou Liangdi, who wants to eat Zhou Liangdi's breakfast..."

Ji Zhao became more and more sad as he spoke. He thought he had forgotten it long ago, but he didn't expect to remember it so clearly. He closed his eyes and cried, "I met you in the study, and you pretended not to know me, and you went to Jasmine Lane... Wuwuwu, don't think I don't know what's there for, are you raising some little lady there..."

Hearing this, Zong Zhen immediately said: "No, I don't."

Ji Zhao cried bitterly, but didn't hear what he said, and continued to cry, "The last time I went to see His Majesty in the palace, you still attacked me, why do you always attack me every time you see me... After returning from Liangguo, You have changed, you have become someone I don't know, you give me back the Zongzhen from Liangguo... woo woo woo..."

"It's all my fault..."

"It's not like you haven't said that, have you really corrected it... woo woo woo, last time Cheng Shen sent food to the princess mansion, it was made by Xiao Quanzi, I really want to eat it, but I can't, I It's really sad..."

"why do not you eat?"

"I don't eat what you give me!" Ji Zhao cried angrily, and after crying, he cried even louder, buried his face in the pillow, but touched the wound again, and "hissed" several times in pain.

Zong Zhen didn't follow him any more, and resolutely pushed his face back, pressed his forehead with one hand, wiped his tears with the other hand, and said softly: "Xiao Quanzi is here too, I'll ask him to give it to you later." Make something delicious, okay?"

"I will not eat……"

"why?"

"Why do I want to eat it? Do you think I won't be angry if you save me again? Woohoo... You don't even know that the existing damage can't be repaired! Kekeke——" Ji Zhao swallowed his own tears, and the snot also flowed out, choking himself from crying, so embarrassed and cute.

"Okay, okay..." Zong Zhen quickly stretched out his hand to hug him up, wrapped his arms around his waist, told him to lean in his arms, lowered his head and wiped his tears with the other hand, and said , "Look, it's become a little dirty cat, with so much snot."

"Then don't touch me!" Ji Zhao was so angry that he wanted to throw him away, but he had no strength at all, so he could only cry impotently in Zongzhen's arms.

"It's my fault, it's my fault, stop crying, stop crying, be good, be good..." Zong Zhen wiped his tears little by little, then took a handkerchief to blow his nose for him, "You hate me Dirty, don't touch me!" Ji Zhao said angrily, and Zong Zhen exerted force on his hand, "I don't mind it, come on, wipe your nose clean, and you will be the most beautiful brother Zhao in the world again."

Hearing this sentence, Ji Zhao looked up at Zong Zhen in surprise, it was the first time he heard Zong Zhen call himself that.

While he was in a daze, Zong Zhen blew his nose clean, put the handkerchief aside, pinched his chin with his hands, the two looked at each other, and he said softly: "Let me see, are you still crying?" gone?"

It's okay if you don't say anything, but once you say it, Ji Zhao pouted again.

"Oh, I'm going to cry again." Zong Zhen used his hands to catch his tears.

Ji Zhao said with tears: "I was really scared yesterday, I thought I was going to die, I was really afraid of death..."

Zong Zhen was also reluctant to teach him a lesson at this moment, and just followed his words and coaxed: "How could it be, there is me."

"Can you save me every time?"

"certainly……"

Ji Zhaoben wanted to say "You are about to get married", but he didn't say it, because Zongzhen was saying: "No matter where you are, I will find you, and I am also reflecting on myself, and I will never let you fall into trouble again in the future." In any danger, this time I was wrong, I was wrong."

Ji Zhao was startled, buried his face in his arms, and burst into tears again. He cried and said, "Brother, you are the best person in the world to me."

If Zongzhen treats others well in the future, what should he do?

The more he thought about it, the more he panicked, Zong Zhen patted his back with the other hand, and said softly, "Yes, I will always treat you well."

But in this way, I will be more and more reluctant to give you up to others, even your princess—Ji Zhao thought sadly, he dared not say it again, he was afraid that Zongzhen would give him the answer now, he was afraid of Zongzhen will admit it all.

Zong Zhen dug his face out again and asked him, "How about something to eat?"

Ji Zhao sniffled and nodded, "I'm hungry..."

Zongzhen finally had a smile on his face, and called Baoqing to come in loudly. Ji Zhao was a little embarrassed, and wanted to leave Zongzhen's arms. Zongzhen locked him tightly in his arms, and asked him with his head down: "What do you want to eat?" ?”

"I want to eat shrimp dumplings, the kind with a whole shrimp."

Zong Zhen shook his head: "You can't eat it, fish and shrimp are all hair."

"I eat river prawns, so I don't send them out."

"River prawns are not good either..."

Ji Zhao pursed his lips, looked up at him, and said pitifully, "Can shredded chicken porridge be eaten?"

"this is okay……"

Ji Zhao sniffled again, and said in a low voice, "Then I'll just eat this."

Zong Zhen patted his head, and said to Bao Qing: "Follow the herbal diet recipe they prescribed and ask Xiao Quanzi to cook other dishes, and make more of the dishes that the son-in-law likes to eat. "

"Okay!" Bao Qing smiled and stepped back.

Zongzhen brought another clean handkerchief, wiped his still smudged face, and told him: "A broken arm is a blessing in misfortune. The imperial doctors said that it will be completely cured in a hundred days, but what will you eat later?" , Whatever you do, you have to listen to me, and I will tell the people around you."

"..." Ji Zhao pursed his lips and asked, "Where are Chen Xing and the others, are they scared? Don't blame them, I'm the one who is going fishing."

"After you fell, Dust Xing and your guards also jumped down."

"Ah!" Ji Zhao exclaimed.

Zong Zhen patted him on the back, and calmed him down: "The snow on the mountain is too thick, and it is taller than a person, but no one died. Only one person was seriously injured and can be saved. Chen Xing was also slightly injured."

Ji Zhao let out a breath, and then his body softened again.

"You have a lot of wounds on your body. You must not get out of bed these days, and your legs must be well maintained."

Ji Zhao nodded feebly, Zong Zhen was not willing to talk about him, and said softly: "Eat food, you have to take medicine."

"understood……"

Bao Qing ran to the kitchen to give orders, came back, twisted a wet hot handkerchief to His Highness, Zong Zhen wiped Ji Zhao's little face again, and Ji Zhao realized later: "Is there a wound on the face, it hurts?" .”

"Um……"

"It must be ugly..."

Zong Zhen carefully applied the ointment on his face, and said in his mouth, "Nonsense..."

Ji Zhao didn't bother to look in the mirror, so he closed his eyes and let him apply the ointment on himself. Zong Zhen wanted to put him back on the bed, so he buried his face in Zong Zhen's arms again, and Zong Zhen said, "Okay, then I'll continue to hug you." on."

Ji Zhao's face was rubbed against his arms, Baoqing's face was calm, and he was no longer surprised.

Later, a eunuch came in and reported, "Your Highness, King Zheng and the Fifth Young Master are coming to see you again."

Ji Zhao pricked up his ears, Zong Zhen covered his ears with his hands, and said the same sentence: "I don't see..."

"Yes!" The eunuch went out, and Ji Zhao whispered, "Actually, I really don't blame them. I really ran around by myself, or I said I wanted to go fishing..."

Zong Zhen looked down at him with displeasure, and Ji Zhao blinked as if he hadn't said anything.

Xiaoquanzi knew what the son-in-law liked to eat, and basically prepared all the favorites, so it didn't take long for Ji Zhao to order the dishes, and Xiaoquanzi finished them in a short while, and together with the other two eunuchs, they carried the food together. Six food boxes came over.There are two tables next to the bed, and all the food is placed on them, but there is still not enough room.

Many Ji Zhao couldn't eat at this time, but he was also very happy to see it!

He leaned against Zongzhen's arms, Zongzhen was in charge of feeding, he was in charge of opening his mouth to eat, Bao Qing was in charge of preparing the dishes, the room was filled with the sweet smell of food for a while.

Princess Fuchen woke up early in the morning and learned the news about Ji Zhao's falling cliff, and learned that the imperial doctor had been called away overnight. She was so frightened that she went back to the cage and couldn't sleep, so she sent someone to Yin's mansion to tell the old man about the incident and comfort the old man. On her side, she took people out of the city immediately.

When she arrived, she first saw a small snowman in a yard. Even when she was so nervous, she still attracted a lot of attention.At this time, Ji Zhao's courtyard was full of the prince's personal guards. Seeing her coming, he immediately said, "Princess, you are here! Your Highness and the son-in-law are both in the house!"

Only then did Princess Fuchen look away, and asked, "Is the son-in-law okay?"

"The son-in-law seems to be awake and eating!"

"Okay!" Princess Fuchen was relieved, her maid stayed in the outer room, while she went to the inner room, opened the half-hanging bead curtain, before anyone could enter, she heard a familiar but unfamiliar voice.

It was familiar because it was her elder brother's voice. She had heard it since she was a child, and had heard it for two lifetimes.

The strange reason is that the voice said: "That can't be eaten, be obedient."

Fu Chen simply didn't know how to describe it, even if it was her, his heart couldn't help trembling, would his brother have such a gentle voice?

She walked to the door in a daze, and looked inside quietly. Her brother was sitting on the edge of the bed with someone in his arms. Fu Chen could only see the head of that person from this direction, but there was no need to guess, it must be the son-in-law.

"Isn't it okay to just eat a little..." The son-in-law's voice was a grievance that was even more unfamiliar to Fu Chen, so would the son-in-law still talk like this?

"Can't……"

"Ugh..."

"It's useless to cry, if you can't, you can't."

That head rubbed against my brother's arms, and my brother said again: "It's no use acting like a baby..."

The son-in-law seemed to be angry, and didn't speak any more. The elder brother paused for a moment, as if compromising: "You can have a few more sips of that soup."

The son-in-law's head stood up again, and the elder brother shook his head dumbfoundingly: "You, you..."

The elder brother took the spoon and fed it to the person in his arms.

Bao Qing, who was standing aside, also had a smile on his face.

Princess Fuchen was even more shocked. Didn't Bao Qing feel strange about such a shocking thing? !
