At the same time that the three of them decided that there would be no place for the lunch event initiated by Wanlihua, Wanlihua followed Shizayoi up the stairs at the end of the corridor, and finally came to the rooftop.

Seeing Shiliuye take out the picnic cloth and spread it in the shade, Wan Lihua glanced at the door of the rooftop.

Although the school does not prohibit students from coming to the rooftop, Xiuzhiyuan is different from ordinary high schools, and has a place that is more suitable for students to spend their lunch break than the rooftop, so the rooftop has become the place with the least number of people.

"My lord~~, don't you want to be here with me..."

"If Wanlihua wants to, I have no objection." Shiliuye sat down spontaneously and beckoned her to come over.

Wan Lihua took off her shoes and sat beside Shizaiye, "Just kidding, I'm not worried about this place."

"Me too." Sixteen nights raised his head and smiled at her.

"Then it was so sudden today, what happened temporarily?" Wan Lihua said while opening the lunch box.

"Almost." Sixteen nights didn't open the lunch immediately, "Concubine Zhen didn't come to school today."

"Huh?" Wan Lihua's hand holding the lid was hanging in the air, and she didn't let it go for a while.

Fortunately, Shiliuye didn't have the bad habit of playing tricks, "I contacted the emperor before, and he told me that the real concubine fell ill."

"That's it." Wan Lihua breathed a sigh of relief, it was not a more dangerous situation, "It's just summer, and the temperature is quite high, but if you're not careful, you'll still catch a cold or something..."

"Catching a cold in summer is also very troublesome." Sixteen nights shook his head endlessly, "According to the emperor, it was Saturday night, and Concubine Zhen was not very energetic. She couldn't get up the next day, and her body temperature was already burning."

"It sounds serious..." Wan Lihua frowned, and her tone became worried.

She originally thought that the head of the Sitiao family loved her two children the most, and Concubine Zhen would definitely not need to worry about seeing a doctor.

But I couldn't come to school today, obviously very sick.

And Shiliuye came here specifically to find him now, with only one meaning, he wanted everyone to visit the real concubine together.

"But Xiao Ai and sister Hui Ye pass first...they definitely can't go there directly." Wan Lihua thought for a while, "Ying Lili and I are definitely fine, let's talk to Ying Lili later."

"Then it's settled." Sixteen nights nodded in agreement, "Originally, I wanted to pull the two of you to talk together, but it's a pity that it's not convenient at school, so you will have to work hard to convey it."

"Just for that, don't you need to ask me to come here?" Wan Lihua asked in turn, "Even if you tell me about the sick visit, I can accompany you right away."

Izayo smiled slightly, "It's nothing, it's just that I don't know what to bring when you visit a doctor, and what to do when you go there. In these years, I have taken care of you when you are sick, and you even went to visit when you were sick."

In other words, no experience.

Of course, for those celebrities who have a close relationship with the Tachibana family, or the subordinates in charge of the companies under the Tachibana family, it is not a problem for Izayoi to visit after falling ill.

But that kind belongs to the category of social nature, and Zhenfei's side, even if it can be declared to be social in nature, is still a matter full of personal feelings in Shizaiye's heart.

"It's really rare. It turns out that my elder brother will be confused when he is concerned." Wan Lihua covered her mouth and snickered. She picked up her lunch box and prepared to eat. "You are always too calm. I thought you would have been calm about any unexpected situation."

"That's Concubine Zhen." Izayo said earnestly, "Even if we put aside the distant blood relationship, she is still very important to me."

"Why aren't we?" Wan Lihua showed his face, "We all watched each other grow up, so of course we cherish each other the most."

Saying this, she took a bite of the food in the bento, thoughtful.

"Leave me the things you need to prepare for your visit. Although time is urgent, you can't help me." Wan Lihua said earnestly, "Brother, please relax. You are just good friends now. If your concern exceeds the social and personal aspects, you will inevitably be discovered by the emperor."

Izayo picked up the bento with a calm expression.

"I really didn't expect that I would be warned by Wanlihua..."

"I'm your good wife, of course."

Chapter 46 Let's Visit Shijo's Home

So after school, the three decided to go to Sitiao's house to visit the sick concubine Zhen. After Wan Lihua arranged for someone to prepare things in the car in advance, they drove to Sitiao's house together.

Before departure, Wanlihua also went to Kaguya and Hayasaka to tell each other about this matter. Because of their identities, they could not go in person, so they could only ask Wanlihua to greet them on their behalf.

The Shijo house is not too far from the Tachibana's villa, just in the Chiyoda district next to the port area.

In the same way, it's not far from the Sigong's house, but it's just that they have never had a public relationship.

After leaving the Sigong family and changing her surname to Sitiao decades ago, although her career has encountered many obstacles in China, there is no way to completely kill the path in life.

So much so that now it is even possible to live in adjacent districts without any contact.

On the way, Shiliuye, like a few treasures, conducted this kind of family background knowledge popularization on Wanlihua and Yinglili, which gave them a deeper understanding of the relationship between the two families.

"If you want to put it this way, it's amazing to be able to break the family barrier and become a close friend with the real concubine and the emperor." Wan Lihua said.

Sixteen nights shook his head, "No, I just happened to meet Concubine Zhen who fell into the water and extended a helping hand to her. Otherwise, for me at that time, it would not have been so easy to get closer to them—"

Having said that, Izayoi is actually very aware of Di's character, even if he fails to find an opportunity, no matter how old he is, Di will take the initiative to contact him and Kaguya.

So that accident just advanced the time for everyone to recognize each other, thus making everyone's relationship deeper.

"But Izayoi won't behave badly just because the other party is from the Shijo family." Ying Lili said truthfully.

"Because I didn't think what my family said was right from the beginning." Shizaiye smiled helplessly.

Chatting about Sigong and Sijo's grievances like this, they arrived at Sijo's house in the blink of an eye, and the emperor was already outside the main entrance of the villa, ready to welcome their arrival.

Before the end of the lunch break, Shizaye conveyed his intention to come to visit the doctor in the evening through his relationship with Emperor. In addition, God was also worried about his sister's illness. It was rare that he didn't participate in the school's club activities, so he returned home early.

"How is Concubine Zhen?" Wan Lihua asked.

"My sister's high fever subsided a little in the afternoon." Di said as he walked, "When I came back just now, I heard from my family that my sister just woke up not long ago. You came just in time."

The emperor's implication was that if the concubine Zhen didn't wake up, and the few of them came, at most they could only go to the room to take a look at the concubine Zhen before going out, and there was no way to say hello.

"It's better for the patient to rest more, we will try our best not to let her get tired from seeing customers." Sixteen nights said words that reassured Di.

But Di grinned, "What are you talking about, you guys came to see my sister, she must be very happy."

"I used to get sick once a month. At that time, Concubine Zhen and everyone would come to see me." Ying Lili said obediently.

Now she can finally repay the care given by Concubine Zhen at that time.

"Okay, okay, old lady is not the type to pay attention to such trivial things."

As the emperor was talking, he asked his family members to lead the way for Wan Lihua and Ying Lili, and he walked behind to chat with Shiliuye who slowed down specially.

From Di's point of view, Izayoi thought that his relationship with the real concubine was no better than that of two girls, so he was not so anxious.

But in fact, no matter how you say it, Tachibana Shiliuya is an important friend of their siblings, and now he is a reliable ally who can entrust important matters, and his relationship will not be much worse than others.

"Speaking of which, Ying Lili seems to be in a better mood recently." Di said casually.

"Really." Izayo shrugged, "Sawamura-san was accompanied by me to buy things last time, and there was some misunderstanding. Now she often avoids me at school."

"Ahahaha..." Di Gan couldn't stop laughing.

He and his sister no longer suspected that Shiliuye and Ying Lili had cheated on Wanlihua behind their backs, but after all, the two of them went out together after school, and they didn't specifically hide it.

It is inevitable that there will be some bad rumors circulating secretly in the school afterwards.

Li Xia in the melon field, not only Ying Lili is hiding from Izayoi, but Izayoi will not take the initiative to contact Yinglili.

This is what the emperor, concubine Zhen, and even the students of Xiuzhiyuan can see now.

Led by the servants of Sitiao's family, several people arrived at Zhenfei's room. After the emperor asked the servants to leave, he knocked on the door and then opened the door.

"Sister, do you see who has come to see you?" Di asked with a smile.

As he said, Concubine Zhen has indeed woken up, and she is currently sitting on the head of the bed on a pillow, watching the sunset of the city outside the window.

She turned her face only after hearing her younger brother's voice, and smiled a little surprised when she saw a few people.

"You guys are here." Concubine Zhen's tone was soft and quiet, "I made you worry."

She is not at all as lively and generous as usual, but more like a shy, boudoir lady who seldom contacts the outside world.

"My sister will be like this when she gets sick, don't take it for granted." Di said secretly.

Concubine Zhen seldom got sick. In the years when Shizhu was here, everyone really didn't have a chance to visit her. Therefore, the emperor immediately added an explanation in a low voice when he saw Wanlihua and Yinglili's expressions.

Some strange changes surprised the two of them, they leaned over without hesitation, Wan Lihua sat by the bed, Ying Lili sat opposite to each other in the chair brought over by Shiliuye.

"I still have something to ask the family doctor, so I will leave it to you for the time being." Di was very relieved of these friends, so he explained a little and left the room first.

Izayoi nodded, then leaned against the desk next to him, looking at Concubine Zhen who was answering the two people's concerns.

He looked at the way Zhenfei unbuttoned her hair, and then remembered that she was also dressed like this before, and when she re-recognized her and Di with Tachibana Sixteen Nights five years ago, she had already changed into the current hairstyle.

As time went on, Izayoi almost swept the previous appearance into the depths of his memory.

It's not that it's not good-looking, it just seems to have a childish atmosphere. On the contrary, it looks better after letting down the hair like this, and looks more like a gentle lady.

The three girls were talking about topics that Izayoi didn't have a lot to talk about, so he chose to listen to it calmly. The conversation gradually shifted from illness to daily life, and finally came to the time when Wanlihua and Yinglili were sick respectively.

When referring to the sick meal, Ying Lili mentioned with nostalgia how good her mother's craftsmanship was when she went abroad.

"Speaking of which, my cooking skills have improved a lot now, and I may not lose to Aunt Sayuri. It happens that you haven't eaten yet, so why don't I borrow your kitchen to cook porridge."

Then, Wan Lihua made this suggestion as a matter of course.

Chapter 47 Unknown Mood

Although it is better not to make too much noise in the room when a person is sick, but following Wan Lihua's words, Ying Lili, who wanted to help the real concubine do something, also left the room together.

The huge bedroom suddenly became quiet, leaving only Izayoi leaning against the desk, staring silently at Concubine Zhen who slowly raised her eyes.

He was a little disturbed by this situation, so he could only hold back a smile and quickly adjust his state, walked over and sat on the stool that Ying Lili had sat on, and got closer to observe the complexion of Concubine Zhen.

"It's really a burst, didn't it bother you?" Sixteen nights said.

Concubine Zhen shook her head, "No, I am very happy that they came to see me."

As she said that, a faint smile appeared on her lips, and her eyes softened a lot, which showed that the girl was indeed in a good mood at this time.

"That's good." Shiliuye looked at Zhenfei's face, "Do you want to lie down and rest? Still feel thirsty and want to drink water?"

"..." Concubine Zhen stared straight at Izayoi's face, as if she didn't understand what the two options Izayoi proposed were going to do.

She lowered her head without saying a word, looking at her hands hanging outside the quilt, as if it took her a long time to come up with the answer.

"I want to drink water." Concubine Zhen said to Shizaiye.

Izayo picked up the water glass on the side, poured half a glass of water and handed it to her, but Concubine Zhen didn't reach out to take it, she just maintained the sitting posture leaning on the pillow like a wooden figure, watching Izayo at every turn.

And Shiliuye realized in a second that Concubine Zhen was waiting for him to feed her water.

The wordless silence spread, and Izayoi began to feel a little surprised, he remembered that no matter what, Zhenfei should not have such a personality.

But if it's an illness, it might make sense again.

Whether it's sister Kaguya or him, when they were sick in the past, they would also collapse due to their physical condition, resulting in a completely different personality.

My sister becomes coquettish, and he becomes reluctant to interact with others.And after recovering from the disease, I don't remember what my disease said or did.

Now that I think about it, Izayoi thinks that it is undoubtedly an instinctive reaction after the psychological defense line established over the years collapses due to the weakness of the body.

Lack of security, lack of love, or lack of other warm things.

Because the heart is always dry and has never been moisturized, it constitutes a protective mechanism.

But Izayoi had already escaped from that.

All of this is thanks to Wan Lihua, who has tirelessly used her intelligence, thoroughness, warmth and sincere emotions to nourish Shizaiye for seven years.

Therefore, it is not so much a commonality of blood, but a similar change induced by a similar family environment.

Putting it on Concubine Zhen, it is this kind of clumsiness that is quiet and reticent, who doesn't know how to express her thoughts like a baby.

This was probably a fact that even the emperor hadn't noticed, he just thought it was his sister who became quiet when she was sick.

That being the case—

"I really can't do anything about you." Shizaiye smiled helplessly.

He doesn't have any weird self-esteem that makes him feel embarrassed, and he really cares about the real concubine's affairs.

Saying this, Shiliuye moved his body, sat on the edge of the bed, and tried his best to squeeze into the slightly wider bed, just enough to reach Zhenfei who was sitting there.

Concubine Zhen usually sleeps in the middle, but now she is moved to a position closer to the bed when she is sick.

Gently hugging Concubine Zhen's slender shoulders, the temperature of the high fever spread through the summer single clothes, and Izayoi's mood sank a little involuntarily.

Severe and minor illnesses are better than not sick.

"Come—" Izayoi put the water glass to Zhenfei's mouth.

She slightly opened her lips and pressed against the rim of the glass, and Izayoi slowly raised the water glass.
