Dong Gong Mei

Chapter 417 I'll Protect You

"Li Xuanye, have I really been poisoned?"

Zhao Xiwei didn't get the answer he wanted.

After asking this sentence, the finger on her shoulder moved slightly.

Zhao Xiwei was keenly aware of his emotions, and was about to question him when Li Xuanye suddenly covered his lips and coughed.

Blood spilled from the fingertips, a bright red.

Zhao Xiwei's face paled instantly, and he lost his voice and said, "Li Xuanye!"

Another burst of violent vomiting.

Zhao Xiwei hurriedly hugged him, looking at the bright red at the corner of his lips: "What's going on?"

"I'm fine—" Li Xuanye smiled slightly, clasped his palms, touched her face, and said softly, "It was just now..." Before he could finish speaking, his body suddenly fell forward.

"Li Xuanye!"

"Li Xuanye... don't scare me..."

"Is it that glass of wine?" She knelt on the ground and hugged his shoulders, her tone suddenly panicked: "There is something wrong with that glass of wine!"

His heart was suffocated suddenly, and hatred and anger rushed together in an instant.

Even when she was in pain, she didn't have such strong emotions.

"Come here!" She heard her voice trembling, "Tell the imperial doctor! Quickly send the imperial doctor—"

"Don't..." Wei Liang pressed his fingertips on his lips, his eyes were as gentle and calm as water, and he whispered: "It's okay, I'm fine, Wei'er don't be afraid..."

He leaned his entire upper body into her arms, the corners of his mouth slightly curled up, his smile remained the same as before, and he half-closed his eyes and said, "Wei'er is hugged like this, I really don't want to get up..."

He spoke casually, but Zhao Xiwei became even more nervous.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has always been in good health. He has never failed to practice martial arts or practice swords, not to mention vomiting blood, and he has never had even minor ailments such as injury and headache.

"It's okay..." He pinched her palm, smiling brightly in his eyes, but his voice faded a little bit, "I'm just a little dizzy, don't ask the imperial doctor, don't let the emperor know..."

……

All the servants in the palace were dismissed, and only the palace lamps were quietly lit all around.

Zhao Xi leaned slightly on the head of the bed, staring intently at the sleeping Li Xuanye.

She has seen many unknown sides of him, gentle, doting, warm, cold, and even childish...

But I have never seen someone like this, unconscious and unconscious.

She personally brought hot water, wet a cotton towel, bit by bit, gently wiped off the blood on the corners of his lips, and carefully adjusted his collar, taking care of him meticulously, without any trace of mess .

It was cold on the ground, but she forgot to get up, and just knelt and sat beside him like this.

She raised his arm, opened her palm, and gently pressed her cheek against it, feeling the touch of his skin, a cloud of misty water vapor suddenly blurred her eyes.

"Your Highness..." She held his fingertips in both hands, stroked them carefully, and called softly, but she didn't know what to say.

She was stunned for a long time, tears rolled down involuntarily.

"You said that the two of us are husband and wife, sharing the same bed and relying on each other for life and death."

"You said that nothing is more important than my safety, no matter what happens, you will protect me..."

"Li Xuanye—" She took a deep breath, as if she had suddenly made up her mind, "I can't keep you unconscious like this."

After a pause, the voice became calm in an instant: "If you don't wake up again, I will go ask Your Majesty. Nothing is more important than your safety!"

Kneeling by the bed for a while, watching the night gradually darken.

She finally let go of that worry.

Li Xuanye did not allow her to invite the imperial physician, but because this matter involved Pei Cairen, he was afraid that it would cause a big disturbance and affect King Jin's dignity.

But she can't do it!

She couldn't just watch him suffer from unknown illnesses, and even face immeasurable dangers...

Thinking of this, her heart was beating wildly.

No, she must not let this happen.

She let go of his hand, helped him tuck the quilt, and kissed him lightly on the face, with a firm tone: "You used to protect me, now I should protect you..."

After speaking, he stood up decisively.

But the sleeves were suddenly pulled.

A low laugh came from behind him: "How will Wei'er protect me?"

"Li Xuanye!" She turned around joyfully, without even caring about being reserved, she flew to the side of the bed and said, "You're awake!"

"Well, I'm awake." Li Xuanye lay on the bed, looking at the person in front of him tenderly.

Her apricot eyes were reddish, and there were faint traces of water in the corners of the eyes. The pear blossoms were raining, but the corners of her lips were slightly raised, and a smile was faintly rippling, making her look more clear and fragile, which aroused pity.

"How are you? Are you still dizzy? Are you feeling good in your stomach? Do you still feel like vomiting?" She held his face in her hands and asked repeatedly, her tone hurried and joyful.

"I'm fine." After saying these four words, she met her examining eyes.

Li Xuanye simply took her hand, poked it into her chest, and said with a smile, "Wei'er will know just by touching it!"

Zhao Xiwei didn't dodge, but put his palm on his heart in an obedient manner.

The heartbeat was steady and strong, it seemed that it was a false alarm...

Seeing that she was still hesitating, he smiled again, flipped his wrist, turned his back on the guest, and crawled along her sleeve with his palm: "If Wei'er still doesn't believe it, how about I prove it now?"

Zhao Xi was so itchy that he dodged left and right, and accidentally fell into his arms.

The palm he hadn't pulled out was still inside his clothes.

The skin is smooth and firm, the temperature is slightly higher than hers, and it feels extremely comfortable to the touch.

It was almost a subconscious reaction, and I couldn't help touching it...

"Hiss—" His Royal Highness took a deep breath, and hastily pushed her away a little, "Wei'er, I'm hungry!"

"Hmm..." After confirming that he had returned to normal, Zhao Xiwei heaved a sigh of relief, and stopped laughing, and said softly, "What would Your Highness want to eat? Shall I go and prepare it for you?"

"Just let the servants do it!" Li Xuanye pulled her over, and said with a smile: "It's late at night, Wei'er has been tired all day, so let's rest..."

"No!" Zhao Xiwei helped him to lie down again, and said in a rather leisurely tone, "How about cooking my best dish for you?"

It's rare to see her take the initiative, so Li Xuanye didn't insist on it anymore, so he had to tell him: "Just make a bowl of hot soup, I like the mushroom soup like last time!"

Zhao Xiwei cast down the bed curtain for him: "Then make a bowl of hot porridge?"

Li Xuanye didn't even think about it, and said casually, "Anything is fine."

Zhao Xi responded softly, glanced at his face again, walked out of the screen, stopped again, looked back and smiled: "The hot porridge needs to be cooked slowly, Your Highness may have to wait for a while. "

"Then I will wait slowly."

"it is good."

The bead curtain swayed, and the figure was slim.

Li Xuanye's eyes followed him lightly, until the footsteps gradually faded away, and he waited quietly for a moment before he stopped smiling and called out in a deep voice, "Yuan Ce!"

"What are your orders, Your Highness?"

Immediately, a figure swept down from the eaves.

Li Xuanye took out a small bottle from his sleeve, and ordered in a cold voice: "Give it to Gu Hansu, let him check it carefully!"

Yuan Ce stared at the bottle strangely, then sniffed it close to the tip of his nose, and said hesitantly, "Your Highness, is this what made you faint just now?"

He gave a faint "hmm" and said, "Zhao Ziyi, continue to investigate—"

Yuan Ce was stunned for a moment, then cupped his hands and replied, "Yes!"
