The atmosphere in the Sun Palace was not good these days, because Yuan Heng suddenly became more seriously ill and could not even go to the daily morning court.
A pure noble person doesn't worry about being served by others, so he always takes care of her himself. Chu Xinbian stays by his side, often saying words of comfort.
"My lord, don't worry. Imperial Physician Song is here. Physician Song has always understood your majesty's health. I believe it will be fine this time."
After finally getting some free time, Chunguiren was able to come out to take a breath and rest for a while, but his heart was still beating very fast and he could not calm down.
Only she knew how panicked she was now. This feeling was really bad, as if the thing she was worried about was finally going to happen.
"No, you don't understand. You don't understand how I feel. What I'm most afraid of is hearing such news. Regardless of my selfishness, I don't want to bear His Majesty being tortured by illness. I just said that His Majesty still has no heirs. What should I do? ?”
Chun Guiren held Chu Xin's hand and talked to her, finally feeling a little more at ease. Fortunately, at this time, there was someone accompanying her, so she was not alone.
"At such a time, the noble man can still think of these things, which really makes me ashamed."
Chu Xin lamented that it was normal for a noble person to worry about Yuan Heng's health out of selfish motives, and the fact that she could think of this also showed that she was not a person based on petty love.
"You can't worry so much now. I asked Ayun in private, and she said that Imperial Physician Song didn't seem to be in that much of a hurry. He would prepare the medicine in the medicine garden every day and bring it over after boiling it. Your Majesty would drink it. It’s just that it won’t take more than three months at most, and it should be fine.”
Chu Xin comforted her softly. In fact, this was indeed a very troublesome matter. Yuan Heng was so weak that he still had no children. If he said something unpleasant, what would happen to the people in the harem one day? What to do?
There was movement inside again. Just as Jungui wanted to go in, his arm was grabbed.
"Your Majesty has been taking care of you for several days and nights without clothes. It's really enough. I can just go and take care of His Majesty. If your Majesty is really worried about Your Majesty, you should go back and have a sleep first. Come back after you have slept well and feel refreshed."
Chu Xin felt really distressed when she looked at her. She hadn't had a good sleep for almost three days and three nights, and the pure noble's eyes were all black and blue.
He knew that Chungui was really worried about Yuan Heng's health, but he couldn't ignore his own health.
Chun Guiren was a little reluctant at first, but was dissuaded by Chu Xin. Now his eyes hurt so much that he almost couldn't open them. He really needed to go back and have a good sleep.
When Chu Xin entered, Yuan Heng seemed to have woken up in a daze. He quickly took the medicine bowl from the palace maid's hand, sat by the bed and fed him medicine one mouthful at a time.
Being so close, you can smell the bitter taste of this medicine. It’s hard to imagine that I have to drink so many bowls of bitter medicine every day for so many years. Isn’t there only a bitter taste left in my mouth?
Suddenly, he understood why Yuan Heng liked Chun Guiren so much, and why the candy pills made by Chun Guiren were so important in his heart.
The sweetness brought by the bitterness is inherently rare.
"I still remember that when I saw you when I was a child, your face was very pale. I didn't expect that you are still like this after so many years. It really makes me feel a little emotional."
After taking the medicine, Yuan Heng lay on the bed with his eyes open. He had obviously just woken up from his drowsiness, but he looked like he was not feeling well.
"Looking at the friendship we had met several times when we were young, I said something treasonous. Sometimes I feel that I am miserable, but when I see you, I suddenly feel that I have a healthy body now. It doesn’t seem so miserable anymore!”
Chu Xin knelt down beside the bed, looked at Yuan Heng and smiled slightly.
Maybe people really need comparison. I once felt that my life was miserable enough.
But seeing Yuan Heng's frail body these days, I suddenly felt that she had no reason to say she was pitiful or miserable?
No matter what happened, didn't he still survive? Aren't the scars on his face faded away? Aren't his legs and feet able to walk normally?
Everything about him is slowly getting better, but when will Yuan Heng get better? When will his body be as healthy as a normal person?
"If that's the case, then I can be of some use."
Yuan Heng opened his eyes and looked at the gauze on the bed. His voice was hoarse and he had to breathe hard after finishing a sentence.
I felt like I had a terrible headache, and wondered why I woke up suddenly. As soon as I woke up, I felt a splitting headache.
"I also remember the day I saw you in the medicine garden. I could see that there was resentment and despair in your eyes. These are no longer in your eyes now."
After finishing speaking, Yuan Heng closed his eyes slightly and breathed heavily. He felt that the taste in his mouth was so bitter, and he suddenly missed the candy pills made by Chun Guiren.
In the past few days, I have had a vague feeling. I feel that pure noble people are staying by my side to take care of me.
"These days, Pure Noble is here to take care of her. Roumei has also come a few times. For some reason, Ning Noble has never been here. Maybe he knows that His Majesty doesn't want to see her, so he doesn't come here."
Chu Xin told Yuan Heng everything about the situation these days, but she was actually worried about herself and how long she could stay here.
Yuan Heng's body is so weak that he may never be able to return to a healthy state. What's more, there is no heir in the harem. If something happens to him, who will be in charge of the entire Nanliang?
After thinking about it without knowing where her wild thoughts went, Chu Xin looked towards the bed and saw that Yuan Heng seemed to have fallen asleep again, and his breathing gradually slowed down.
Chu Xin stood up with a smile and covered him with the quilt again. It was good to be able to fall asleep. When he woke up, he could feel the pain caused by the illness. It was better to sleep without knowing anything.
Perhaps the most important thing now is the need to have a child, which can only come out of the belly of a pure nobleman.
Chu Xin stood up and stood by the window again, looking out the window for a long time. For a moment, he didn't know what he was worrying about, what was he worrying about?
This was Nanliang and she had nothing to do with it. In fact, she shouldn't worry about who would inherit the throne after Yuan Heng left.
But if he still wants to stay here, he must care about these things. He can stay in the palace simply because Yuan Heng is an extremely gentle and tolerant person who doesn't mind these things, plus he has the protection of a pure nobleman. .
If it were a different king, he might not be able to tolerate her staying here. When the time comes, the status of a pure nobleman will be different from what it used to be, and I'm afraid he won't be able to protect himself.
Therefore, the child is the most important thing now. I just hope that Yuan Heng's body can recover quickly. If the noble man has a child in his belly, then he can truly feel at ease.
Not only can she feel at ease, but noble people can also feel at ease. This is a truly useful method.
at night.
"Your Majesty, you have worked really hard these days. Your Majesty's body has always been in this state. The medicine sent by the imperial doctor is also effective. The time you spend sleeping has been reduced a lot in the past few days."
Chu Xin stood behind her and rubbed Chun Guiren's shoulders. She could see how hard Chun Guiren had been working these days. It was really very hard.
"How could I not know what you are talking about? It's just that I have always had an uneasy premonition in my heart. Every time I see His Majesty suffering from illness, this uneasy feeling will slowly deepen."
Chun Guiren narrowed her eyes slightly. It was okay that the situation was like this these days. Having Roumei could help her share Ning Guiren's attention, otherwise she would be entangled with Ning Guiren again, which would really be endless.
"I have something to say, and if Chunguiren doesn't mind, I will say it boldly," Chu Xin said tentatively. Seeing Chunguiren nodding slightly, she knew that this was acquiescence.
"There are no heirs in the harem now. Have you never thought about this matter?"
In fact, Chu Xin also knew that it was a bit fanciful to say this now, but this was the most important thing in the end.
"Right now, I'm only worried about His Majesty's health. What you mentioned is that I have had quarrels over the issue of his heirs, and the courtiers have also complained, but this cannot be forced."
The pure nobleman opened his eyes and sighed helplessly. He hoped that His Majesty could have a healthy body and never suffer from illness again, but it seemed that these were of no use.
"The pure nobleman said that the most important thing now is for His Majesty to take good care of himself."
Chu Xin nodded. It was indeed too early to say this now. Let these things take their course.
A few days later, Yuan Heng's body seemed to be getting better again. Naturally, it was because he drank bowls of soup every day. Sometimes he felt that there was only a bitter taste left in his mouth, and there was no more. other flavors.
"Today, your Majesty has to go with Ning Guiren to deal with matters in the harem, so you asked me to take care of your Majesty."
Chu Xin took the cloak and put it on Yuan Heng. At this moment, the autumn day was gradually getting colder, not to mention that Yuan Heng was so weak, so he naturally had to pay attention at all times.
"When I see you, I always think of things when I was a child. The imperial doctor said that I was born with deficiencies and was so weak when I was born. At that time, I always thought that when I grow up, I will slowly get better. But I didn’t expect that the pain would never let me go, and it seemed that I would never get better.”
Yuan Heng's voice was very soft. It was obvious that he was really very weak. Chu Xin still had to get closer to hear it clearly, leaving only waves of heartache.
This is what God has decreed. You will suffer from illness as soon as you are born. You will drink bowl after bowl of medicine every day, leaving only a bitter taste in your mouth. There is no end to it and you will have to live like this for the rest of your life.
"Maybe I'm not you, and I can't empathize with you. I can only say a few indifferent words of comfort, but these can't relieve your pain at all."
There are no other people here at this moment, only the two of them. Yuan Heng likes to be quiet and doesn't like to be served by so many people around him. He usually only likes to have one or two people to serve him.
So when there were only two of them, Chu Xin would be bolder. Maybe she still had memories of her childhood. They had met several times when they were young, and Yuan Heng even helped her out.
"Or maybe everyone's fate is already predetermined. Some people are born happy, and some people are born miserable. When I was young, I grew up in a cold palace.
At that time, I already knew the warmth and coldness of human relationships. At that time, I was thinking about why I was not born in the belly of the favored imperial concubine. If I were the daughter of the imperial concubine, would I be like Chu Yi, a pampered and capricious woman who enjoys beautiful clothes and jade? What about the princess who eats life? "
