After a month of study, Chu Xin was finally able to walk slowly. Since her left foot was weak, she walked step by step with a cane. In the end, she was able to stand up on her own without their support.
I wore a veil when I walked around the yard during the day. The scars on my face are still very obvious now. I apply the scar-fading ointment made by Ayun every day. After the scars fade away, I don’t need to wear a veil anymore.
That night, when I was about to take a rest after reading a book, I heard some noise outside. The medicine garden was usually very quiet, except for the sound of some palace officials going back and forth sorting medicinal materials.
Now, hearing the sounds outside, it seemed as if many people had suddenly arrived. Chu Xin couldn't sleep either. She just sat in the room and listened quietly to the movements outside, feeling a little flustered.
Ayun went back and forth looking for medicine. There were always days when your majesty was most seriously ill, and he needed the most powerful supplements to survive. When he passed by Chu Xin's room, he opened the door and poked his little head in. Go in.
"Sister, are you scared? His Majesty was coughing up blood just now, and that's why he suddenly moved to the medicine garden. Daddy is asking me to find some powerful medicine and drink it down to hold on!"
"It doesn't matter, you should go quickly, but don't delay!"
Chu Xin was sitting by the bed. When she saw a little head coming in from the door, she immediately waved her hand and asked her to go find medicine quickly.
Your Majesty Nanliang is Yuan Heng?
Speaking of which, I had seen him when I was young. I was just a kid at that time, so I noticed that the other person seemed to be in some bad health. I didn't expect that it was getting worse and worse now.
But the most memorable thing was the orchid picture. It happened to be the orchid picture he drew by himself that solved Chu Yi's difficulties, but there seemed to be no chance to get it.
The orchid picture was placed in the Chu Palace. I thought about getting along with the people there and didn't dare to think about it again or ask any more questions.
I always wonder if I wouldn’t have learned the bad news if I hadn’t asked, and could I just treat it as if time had stayed in the past?
It's just that I vaguely guessed something in my heart. It was precisely because I guessed that I felt that I was really not worthy of being my mother's daughter.
How did you have the heart to make that decision back then? Why did you insist on going your own way? Why did you abandon your dearest mother for a man?
So, isn't she punished now? If Ayun and her daughter hadn't saved her, she might have really died.
She just felt that it was so unfair. She just made a wrong choice. Why did she have to pay such a high price?
Then I heard a busy sound outside, like many people walking around in a hurry. I heard that this medicine garden was built for him. It seemed that the disease was really serious.
In fact, can we really accept everything we are experiencing now willingly?
The kind of fear and despair when facing death will never be forgotten in this life. Also, Xiao Zhi knows who caused Qianqian's death, right?
I heard from Ayun that Xiao Zhi is now His Majesty the Northern Qi's most trusted younger brother. The ladies in the backyard are one after another, and they are all rich and noble ladies. Now he is extremely prosperous!
At the beginning, I comforted myself over and over again that Xiao Zhi should come, and no matter what, he should be able to save his life, even if he didn't want anything else, he just wanted to live.
But after waiting and waiting, Xiao Zhi still didn't come. He really gave up on himself.
Chu Xin moved to the window step by step, looked up at the moon in the sky, her eyes were already moist.
The mutilated legs and the large scars on his face were all given to him by Xiao Zhi, and the affection he once thought he had became a joke.
Unfair, really unfair!
Xiao Zhi really got too much, and so did Chu Yi. They had obviously done so many evil things, but they always had a way out, and no matter what, they would never end up like themselves.
The only one who really has to pay the price from beginning to end is you!
She hated it so much, she really felt so hateful. She hated why she came into this world and was not blessed even when she was born. She hated why she didn't freeze to death in the cold palace, but she survived with strength.
Do you think life will be kind to her? After surviving one difficulty, there will always be another one. There is no way out. She can only bear it passively. On the contrary, the older she gets, the less courage she had when she was a child.
The whole person slowly became cowardly, no longer daring to fight for it, and could only passively accept it.
After retrieving the medicinal materials, Ayun hurried back and gave it to the Song Dynasty doctor to prepare the medicine. She also quickly brought a bowl of calming medicine and handed it to Yuan Heng.
"Your Majesty, this is the medicine prepared by my father to calm the mind and calm the mind. Your Majesty can take some time off after drinking it!"
Ayun is about to be placed on the plate, raised high and bowed her head respectfully. This situation has happened many times. Your Majesty's body will not recover at all. This disease was brought from the mother's womb, and she can only rely on These powerful medicinal materials support it.
A palace official took the bowl of medicine and was about to feed it to the man who was half leaning on the bed, but saw that the man waved his hand and refused to drink any more.
"No need, it's really bitter. I don't want to drink anymore..."
As soon as he said this, Yuan Heng covered his heart with his hand and coughed for a long time. Blood flowed out of the corner of his mouth as he coughed. The palace attendant hurriedly wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with a handkerchief.
Ayun was so anxious that he was a little overwhelmed. Although His Majesty's body has always been like this, drinking this medicine is better than not drinking it at all!
What's more, he is also sincerely worried about His Majesty. Your Majesty is generous and kind, and he treats everyone in the palace so tolerantly. He is a very good Majesty. Naturally, he hopes that he can live a long life.
Yuan Heng leaned weakly on the edge of the bed, his eyes slightly squinted, looking really weak and without any strength.
Sometimes even he looks down on his frail body. He just stays up late to deal with some political affairs and his body can't hold on.
"You all should step back. You are not allowed to stay outside the door. Please stay away."
Yuan Heng opened his mouth slightly and said weakly. At this moment, he felt that there were many people in the room and it was very noisy. He just wanted to stay quietly for a while.
The reason why he didn’t want others to stay outside the door was because he didn’t want his coughing sound to be heard by others. How could a king be so sick and weak?
He himself felt disgusted.
"yes."
Ayun had no choice but to retreat with everyone and hurried to Dr. Song's house. She didn't need to drink the medicine to calm her mind, but she absolutely couldn't stop drinking the tonic stewed from ginseng.
Originally, His Majesty's body relied on these tonic medicines. This medicine garden was built for His Majesty. All the precious medicines in the medicine garden can be used at any time.
The room became quiet in an instant. Yuan Heng leaned weakly on the edge of the bed with his eyes closed, breathing slowly. His lips had become very pale, and there was still blood at the corners of his mouth that had not been wiped clean.
He didn't know what the meaning of his life was. He had been like this since he was a child. Many times he thought he would never wake up again, but he still opened his eyes on time every day.
When his father handed this position over to him, he even thought it was a joke. How could any king be so sick and weak?
The dizzy feeling in my head came again, and I felt like everything had become blurry.
I don't know how long it took, but he suddenly heard the sound of the door opening. He wanted to open his eyes to see who came in so boldly, but he didn't even have the strength to open his eyes.
He could only listen to the gentle footsteps, approaching him step by step.
Who is so bold and dares to disobey his own orders? Didn't he say that he was not allowed to come in?
"Your Majesty is sick. When you are sick, you need to drink medicine. Only by taking medicine can you get better."
After Chu Xin came in, she closed the door and walked forward step by step. Now she can walk without crutches and has become accustomed to her unable to use her left leg.
"go out."
Yuan Heng still had his eyes closed. The moonlight shone through the window, and his long eyelashes formed a shadow. He was breathing slowly, and Chu Xin could hear the sound of his breathing.
Chu Xin was about to pick up the medicine bowl, but when she heard this, she put the medicine bowl down again. Instead, she walked under the bed and sat down, looking at Yuan Heng boldly.
It seems to be quite similar to her childhood appearance, her lips are always so pale, and her eyebrows and eyes are 70% similar to her childhood appearance.
He is now the king of Nanliang, and he looks very fragile at the moment.
Chu Xin knows what vulnerable people need most.
"Your Majesty, would you like to open your eyes and look at me?"
Chu Xin said softly, and sure enough after saying this, Yuan Heng's long eyelashes moved and he slowly opened his eyes.
"Why the veil?"
Looking at the veiled woman in front of her, she didn't seem to be wearing the clothes of a palace official. She also thought that someone around her had once reported something about Yaoyuan.
It was said that Dr. Song brought back a seriously ill woman. The woman seemed to be seriously injured. He didn't care at that time. It would be good if the medicine in the medicine garden could save more people.
It seemed that the veiled woman in front of him was the one brought back by Imperial Physician Song, but she seemed very bold and dared to stare directly at him like this.
"Your Majesty seems to be still the same as when he was a child. I still remember the way the snowflakes fell on my eyelashes on the ground that day, and I still remember that the orchid picture saved me. It's a pity that I didn't take the orchid picture with me, if possible. , Your Majesty, can you draw another one for me?"
Chu Xin took off her veil as she spoke. The left side of her face was seriously injured. There were scars all over from her forehead to her cheek to her neck. They felt like dried thorns like bark.
The right side of the face is better, there are no obvious scars, and the once beautiful appearance can be vaguely seen.
"It's you?"
When he heard the orchid picture, Yuan Heng seemed to think of something, and his eyes that had been calm for a long time suddenly showed a hint of interest.
"So it turns out that the person who was saved by Imperial Physician Song was actually you? Why did you end up like this?"
There was already a trace of interest in the originally calm eyes. Yuan Heng sat up and looked down at Chu Xin's face.
Those eyes are somewhat impressive, but they don't seem as bright as when they were young.
"It's not important, none of this is important anymore." Chu Xin smiled and shook her head.
"The important thing is that I still remember the orchid picture. Now that I think about it, you were the only one who helped me without expecting anything in return. The most regrettable thing is that I never took the orchid picture with me. Instead, I left it in the Chu Palace. If possible, Could your Majesty please draw another painting for me?"
Chu Xin said with tears in her eyes. She left the orchid picture in Chu Palace at that time, thinking that it would be nice to keep it next to her mother, so that at least she could leave something to accompany her.
In fact, the best decision at the time was for her to stay with her mother.
"Orchid picture?"
Yuan Heng repeated it softly, it was like a very long memory, which was slowly opening up at this moment.
