Chapter 1302: A chapter that offers two words of comfort?
"No...no...Your Majesty, get out of the way..."
"An arrow..."
"Female..."
"..."
Wenren Qichi spoke haltingly, his face filled with panic. Su Yueyao looked at him like this, walked to the bedside, and felt a little guilty, but more than that, she couldn't believe that he valued her so much.
"Your Majesty, this young master Wenren developed a fever this afternoon and has been talking nonsense. His wounds are a bit red and swollen, but it's not a big deal. It's just that he can't get the medicine down," Cheng Yao said.
"If you can't feed him the medicine, why don't you pinch his chin and feed him? What's the use of calling the wife over?" Cheng Yan said bluntly.
When Cheng Yao heard what Cheng Yan said, he choked on his own words. He knew he could feed him by pinching his chin, or even dislocate his chin, but wasn't this person the Queen's savior?
If two finger marks are left on his fair face, he'll be the one who suffers afterwards.
Su Yueyao looked at Wenren Qichi, whose face was flushed and whose lips were cracked. There was no ibuprofen or antibiotics here, and traditional Chinese medicine was slow to take effect. She was worried that this person might end up being burned into a madman.
"Your Majesty, he keeps calling for you. Why don't you try feeding him? Say a few comforting words? Maybe you can get him to drink it. If that doesn't work, try pinching his chin and forcing it down his throat or even dislocating his jaw. If he doesn't drink the medicine soon, he'll burn himself to death."
Before Su Yueyao could speak, Cheng Yan said directly, "He kept calling her 'Female Ruler,' not 'Wife Master.' What kind of behavior is it for a wife to personally feed medicine to a man outside the marriage?"
Xingchen stood silently to the side, watching Su Yueyao's expression. He then spoke up, "My lady, Young Master Wenren did save you. You can feed him if you want, or not if you don't. There are no rules. We're all family here, so no news will get out."
Su Yueyao tightened her grip and sighed, "Bring the medicine over, let me try to feed it to him. If he really won't drink it, then you can force him to drink it!"
Upon hearing Su Yueyao's words, Cheng Yao immediately picked up the medicine that was placed on the table and handed it to Su Yueyao.
Su Yueyao sat on the edge of the bed, holding the medicine, and gently fed him a spoonful of it to his mouth.
Wenren Qichi didn't have a mouth, and the medicine dripped down his chin. Su Yueyao subconsciously wiped it with her handkerchief. Seeing that he wouldn't drink the medicine, she said to the medicine.
"Help him sit up."
"Okay!" Cheng Yao didn't object, sat down by the bed, helped Wenren Qichi up, and let him lean on him.
Su Yueyao scooped up another spoonful of medicine and fed it to Wenren Qichi's lips, saying softly, "Young Master Wenren, drink the medicine and you won't feel uncomfortable anymore."
The medication still leaked a little this time, but it was noticeably better than before.
"Your Majesty, it worked! He drank a little."
Su Yueyao continued feeding him a third spoonful, gently coaxing him as she did so.
Cheng Yan and Xing Chen watched silently beside her. Cheng Yan felt a pang of sadness and gently tilted her head to ask Xing Chen, "My lord Xing, who else has the mistress fed medicine so gently?"
Xingchen frowned slightly upon hearing Chengyan's question: "He's the first one!"
"My wife is gentle and has fed other people before, but this is the first time she's given them medicine."
"What, are you jealous?"
"I'm not jealous, it's just... a man who lets a woman feed him medicine and protects her is really shameful!"
Xingchen glanced at Chengyan, who was speaking incoherently, and chuckled softly.
Seeing his wife coaxing him and feeding him medicine like this, he felt a pang of jealousy and bitterness. He was now even more curious about what medicine Wenren Qichi had used on his wounds to cause him to become like this.
This self-inflicted injury was quite successful, getting his wife to feed him the medicine like this.
Xingchen and the other two watched helplessly as Su Yueyao finished feeding her the medicine.
Su Yueyao looked at the empty medicine bowl and was about to breathe a sigh of relief when, in the next second, Wenren Qichi grabbed her hand holding the spoon.
Su Yueyao was startled, and the spoon fell to the ground with a crisp sound. Almost without hesitation, Su Yueyao tried to pull her hand away from Wenren Qichi's, but he held on tightly, muttering, "Don't go...don't go..."
Su Yueyao couldn't break free from his grip. Cheng Yan, seeing this, was somewhat angry and wanted to step forward, but Xingchen grabbed her.
"do not go!"
"Xingce Jun...he..." This is blatant taking advantage of the wife, Cheng Yan hummed, wanting to say.
“The wife knows what she’s doing. He saved her and got hurt because of her. She already felt guilty. Our intervention only made her feel worse.”
Upon hearing Xingchen's words, Chengyan gritted her teeth, exhaled, and angrily walked to the door, no longer looking inside.
Upon seeing this, Cheng Yao immediately said, "Your Majesty, please wait. He is still having a hysterical episode and doesn't know what he's doing. Your Majesty, let him hold on for now, and I'll get some silver needles to prick him."
After saying that, he got up without waiting for Su Yueyao's reaction, completely forgetting that he was still supporting Wenren Qichi. Wenren Qichi fell onto the bed, but did not let go of Su Yueyao's hand.
The next second: "Ouch!"
Su Yueyao fell directly down following Wenren Qichi's grip. Cheng Yao, seeing Su Yueyao's figure, dodged almost without hesitation.
Bang.
Su Yueyao successfully landed on Wenren Qichi's chest, and Wenren Qichi on the bed let out a muffled groan.
When Xingchen heard the commotion, it was too late to stop Su Yueyao, so he immediately went to help her.
"Is my wife alright?"
"What's wrong, my wife?" Cheng Yan came from the doorway and saw Su Yueyao getting up from Wenren Qichi. She immediately looked at Cheng Yao.
The medicine seller, clutching his chest, muttered softly, "Thank goodness, thank goodness, the Empress didn't hit me, otherwise it would have been embarrassing."
Upon hearing this, Cheng Yan angrily slapped him on the back.
"What danger did you face? What embarrassment did you cause? Why didn't you help your wife up and let her just fall on Wenren Qichi?"
"It's alright if the Lady falls on Young Master Wenren. After all, he likes the Lady, and she might marry him in the future. But I can't," Cheng Yao immediately retorted.
Cheng Yan glared at him angrily, then walked to the bedside: "My lady, are you hurt?"
Su Yueyao leaned awkwardly against Xingchen, but her other hand was still being held tightly by Wenren Qichi.
"Get the medicine quickly, make him let go of his wife's hand."
"Okay, I'll get the silver needles." Cheng Yao immediately walked to the medicine box not far away and took the silver needles.
The medicine was applied directly to the acupoints on Wenren Qichi's hand, and after two needle pricks, Wenren Qichi's hand loosened slightly, but Su Yueyao's hand still couldn't come out.
Cheng Yao glanced at Wenren Qichi lying on the bed, then inserted two more needles, but found that there was still no movement, and was immediately embarrassed.
