Chapter 16 Is He Who Saved Himself?
After the emperor and the empress dowager left, the Qingya Pavilion seemed much quieter and many people left.
The queen was sure that Lin Wancheng had nothing to do and would leave.
Seeing this, Xiao Jingyan followed and walked out together.
"Mother's queen stays there."
Hearing the sound, the queen dismissed the people around her and fought against Xiao Jingyan.
"You go back and change your clothes first." The queen was also worried about his health, after all, he was seriously ill some time ago.
Xiao Jingyan responded, and did not go around with her, and went straight to the point: "My mother, is it related to you this time?"
The queen held a banquet to invite the princess, and it seemed that there was no problem.
But the queen and Princess Mingyang's mother were already in disagreement, so it was inevitable that there would be other thoughts.
Xiao Jingyan has sent Wang Qi to investigate, but the person has not come back yet.
This matter will not end so easily with the emperor, and most people will suspect that it was done by the queen.
The queen silently replied: "Although I don't like Mingyang's origin, I still can't do such things!"
Xiao Jingyan looked up at her.
The queen was burned by his suspicious eyes and was a little hurt. She sighed and said, "She just returned to the palace. Even if I don't like to touch her, I wouldn't choose this critical moment. What's more, you are going to be the prince soon, so why should I implicate you at this time?"
Xiao Jingyan frowned.
His mother, Jiang, came from a famous family and was in the same family as the Queen Mother. She was also a lady loved by many men in the capital. When the father was the crown prince, the mother was named and betrothed to the father.
The relationship between the two is not particularly good, but for so many years, the father and mother have basically done a good job on the surface, not loving, but not having any feelings at all.
As long as the bottom line is not touched, the father will generally not interfere with the affairs of the mother, and the mother will not take the initiative to fight for anything.
It is precisely because of his background problems that his mother has always been well-behaved, not good at competing for favor, and has no idea about this.
During the years when Concubine Shu was still alive, her mother was actually the one who was plotted against.
Not only did he almost lose his position in the back then, he even implicated him.
If there was no such thing as Concubine Shu, he would be the crown prince as soon as he was born.
That's why the mother had some resentment towards Concubine Shu.
But after all, the identity of the mother is really not something out of the ordinary.
"It's because my son is too worried." Xiao Jingyan exhaled and lowered his eyebrows.
"No matter what, the youngest daughter of the father and emperor Mingyang. With her simple and kind person, the queen of mother... it is best not to have any bad thoughts."
"Today, it doesn't seem like an accident when falling into the water in Mingyang. At your banquet, 80% of them want to blame you. Mother, you must be careful in Mingyang's affairs."
——
Xiao Jingyan went back and changed into clean clothes, and rushed back non-stop.
In addition to the eunuchs in Qingya Pavilion, only one imperial physician on duty was left in the hall.
Seeing the palace maid coming out of it, Xiao Jingyan stopped someone and asked about Lin Wancheng's situation.
"The princess has not woken up yet, but she has been muttering and can't get the medicine in it."
Xiao Jingyan frowned slightly and glanced at the imperial physician on one side:
"Dr. Li is still doing something while standing there. If you can't feed the medicine, you will apply an injection!"
"Return to the third prince, this nightmare is usually caused by excessive fright. I have applied an injection just now. Logically speaking, the princess should have fallen asleep, but for some reason..."
Xiao Jingyan scolded: "You don't know why? Are you an imperial physician or am I an imperial physician?"
The imperial physician knelt down in panic, "If the injection is applied again, the princess's body will be too thin and I'm afraid she will not be able to bear it. She can only wait for the princess to feed the medicine."
Xiao Jingyan's breathing was slightly deeper, and she turned around and sat down to one side and drank a cup of tea.
A faint murmur came from the inner hall intermittently. Xiao Jingyan's hand holding the teacup tightened and tightened, as if he was struggling again.
After a while, the sound inside had not stopped. Xiao Jingyan couldn't sit still, so he lifted his robe and stood up.
Seeing that he was about to go in, the eunuch quickly stopped him: "Third Prince, this is not in accordance with the rules!"
"Is the rules important or the princess' life important?"
Everyone: "..."
The sound of calm footsteps sounded, and Chun'er looked back and stood there in a daze.
Xiao Jingyan had seen her. Although she had disguised her at that time, Lin Wancheng had always asked her to avoid encountering Xiao Jingyan's people after entering the palace.
Xiao Jingyan didn't even look at her, "Give me the medicine and go out."
“…”
Chun'er was stunned for a moment, trying to say something, but was soon shocked by Xiao Jingyan's cold eyes.
She hesitated and handed over the medicine bowl.
Soon, only Xiao Jingyan and Lin Wancheng who was unconscious on the bed were left in the inner hall.
Xiao Jingyan stepped forward and helped Lin Wancheng up.
Lin Wancheng's hands and feet were cold. After being hugged by Xiao Jingyan, he frowned, with a feeling of pain.
Xiao Jingyan held the medicine bowl firmly, for fear of being overturned by her actions.
The spoon was pressed against her lips, and Lin Wancheng's teeth were closed, but he didn't let go.
Feeling her resistance, Xiao Jingyan softened his voice, "Be good, I've taken the medicine."
Xiao Jingyan is not a very patient person, but he definitely showed all his patience to Lin Wancheng.
Unfortunately, the person in his arms did not let go because of his words, but instead struggled even more repulsively.
Lin Wancheng's hand hanging beside him was lifted up at some point, grabbed his sleeves tightly, and his white lips squirmed, as if he was crying.
Xiao Jingyan gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes with her fingertips, leaned over and wanted to hear what she was saying.
"No...no..."
Xiao Jingyan's hand froze and his eyes were dim and unclear.
"Be good, it's okay if you drink the medicine." He didn't know what Lin Wancheng dreamed of, but seeing her look, his heart seemed to be clenched by an invisible big hand, and he had difficulty breathing.
"If you don't drink, I don't want to drink poison wine, don't!"
"..." Xiao Jingyan's pupils tightened, and his eardrums were buzzing as if they were constantly knocking. "What did you say?"
Poison wine?
What did she dream about?
For a moment, Xiao Jingyan's hand couldn't help but tremble, "Cheng'er? Lin Wancheng!"
He called her over and over again, trying to wake her up from the nightmare.
But Lin Wancheng seemed to have fallen into a dream. No matter what he called her, she didn't respond, and she kept repeating the two sentences.
Seeing that the medicine in the bowl was about to cool down, Xiao Jingyan didn't even want to drink it. Then he leaned over and took her trembling lips and slowly passed the medicine over...
——
It was already the next morning when Lin Wancheng lowered his fever.
She slowly opened her eyes, and the familiar curtain was in her eyes. She took a long time to remember what happened yesterday.
By the way, she saw Xiao Jingyan before she fell into a coma!
It was him who saved himself...
Lin Wancheng coughed and wanted to sit up.
Before she could move, the curtain next to her moved, and a familiar voice came: "Awaken?"
Chapter completed!
