Chapter 450 Treat Him as a Child
Chapter 450 Treat Him as a Child
Su Lingyue returned to the bedroom. Li Jing was still sitting on the vermilion railing in the corridor, leaning against the pillar and looking up at the roof opposite.
Hearing the footsteps, Li Jing stood up and walked to Su Lingyue's side, her face full of joy: "Princess, the prince has woken up. Uncle Lu said that he is fine and will be fine after a few days of rest."
She was like a child who had made a mistake, and only felt relieved after learning that the mistake had not caused much damage.
"Really? That's great!" Su Lingyue was pleasantly surprised and said with a smile, "If so, you can rest assured! Although it is spring, it is still a little cold. You can go back to the house!"
"Yes!" Li Jing's eyes, which were always calm and composed, gleamed. "There is no mission now. I will stay here until the prince recovers."
Knowing that Li Jing had a stubborn temper, Su Lingyue stopped trying to persuade her. She took her hand and smiled softly, "Okay, I'll rest assured if you stay here. I'll go see the prince first."
Li Jing nodded, sat back on the railing and glanced at the door with shining eyes.
Caiyi followed Su Lingyue into the room carrying a food box. When she opened the door, a warm current and the smell of medicine hit her face.
Xiao Yu had already washed up and was sitting at the table in his underwear, preparing to take medicine. His long hair was loose and half tied up with a blue-white hairband.
"The prince is awake!" Su Lingyue's eyes were filled with love and joy that could not be concealed.
She was worried when Xiao Yu was in a coma, but seeing Xiao Yu awake, talking and laughing was enough to put her at ease.
"Yes." Xiao Yu said gently, "The kitchen is very busy, just tell the servants to do it, you don't have to go there yourself."
Su Lingyue chuckled: "Your Highness is ill and has a poor appetite. I personally directed the chef to prepare lunch. It is very appetizing. Your Highness will try it later."
Caiyi put down the food box and brought out the medicinal porridge and dishes and set them aside.
Yan Qing, who was standing by, reminded quietly, "Your Highness has not taken the medicine yet. Uncle Lu has instructed that he must take the medicine before he can have lunch."
Xiao Yu raised his eyes, looked at the medicine on the table, frowned, and looked reluctant.
Seeing Xiao Yu like this, Su Lingyue couldn't help but chuckle, "Prince, are you afraid of suffering?"
Xiao Yu had been taking medicine for seven years. In the past, he only had a heavy mission in his heart, and he ate and drank only to keep this sick body alive.
After being with Su Lingyue for a long time, in the dark abyss, he gradually found himself and gained the awareness of being a "human".
"Yeah, it's very bitter." Xiao Yu replied with a frown, looking a bit like a child who refused to take medicine and needed someone to coax him.
Yan Qing found it unbelievable.
He had never seen the prince like this before. Was this still the prince he knew? !
But when the prince looked at the princess's affectionate eyes, he looked at the candied fruit beside him, opened his mouth, and swallowed back what he wanted to say.
Xiao Yu looked straight at Su Lingyue.
Although the medicine was a bit bitter, it was not that he couldn't drink it. He was just in the mood and wanted to see what Su Lingyue would do.
“Is it bitter?”
Su Lingyue smiled and pulled her hand away, picked up the medicine on the table, scooped up a spoonful and tasted it, and her brows frowned instantly.
It’s really bitter!
There are two herbs that replenish qi and blood, so Uncle Lu increased the dosage today.
Su Lingyue looked around and finally stopped at the oranges on the fruit plate on the table.
"Caiyi, peel an orange."
"Yes, ma'am."
Caidie responded, picked up a red and round orange, took the orange on the table and carefully broke it into four pieces without touching the orange flesh at all.
Su Lingyue took a slice of orange flesh, put it in a spoon, and squeezed out the orange juice with another spoon.
After squeezing a few orange slices, Su Lingyue picked up the medicine bowl and stirred the juice evenly. She tasted it herself and found the bitterness was mixed with the sweet fragrance of orange. It was much better than before.
"Here! It's not bitter anymore, please drink it, Your Majesty!" Su Lingyue raised her arm and handed the bowl of medicine to Xiao Yu.
Xiao Yu moved his arms, looked at the medicine bowl, and finally looked at Su Lingyue, curled his lips and whispered, "I don't want to do it."
Looking at Xiao Yu's expectant eyes, Su Lingyue chuckled and said, "Since your majesty is sick, he looks more and more like me when I was a child."
She scooped up a spoonful of medicine and used a bowl to bring it to Xiao Yu's lips.
Xiao Yu started to drink the medicine with this spoon.
Yan Qing blinked his red eyes, and retreated behind the screen with Caiyi tacitly.
On the other side of the screen, Xiao Yu and Su Lingyue could be heard laughing from time to time.
"How is it? Is it not so bitter now?"
"Yeah, sweet."
"Sweet talk!" Su Lingyue smiled, thought for a moment and said, "I'll try adding another juice tonight, how about apple?"
"My husband likes pears."
"Okay, then try adding pear juice."
The room was warm and cozy. During lunch, Su Lingyue was very attentive in serving food to Xiao Yu. When she saw that he had finished eating the food she had served, she served him other food. This time, Xiao Yu ate half a bowl more than yesterday.

After lunch, Su Lingyue helped Xiao Yu sit back on the bed to digest the food.
After adding two soft pillows for Xiao Yu to make sure he was comfortable, Su Lingyue sat down beside the bed and told Caiyi, "Tell the kitchen to stew the tonic."
"Yes, ma'am."
Caiyi left in response, and Yanqing was about to follow her out. Su Lingyue said, "Yanqing, please stay. I have something to discuss with you. Please help me with some ideas."
Yan Qing walked to the bedside and asked curiously, "What does the princess want to ask?"
Su Lingyue said: "It's about Su Nanxing. Yun Ting should have told you that Su Nanxing is pregnant again. I think there is something fishy about this."
Yan Qing crossed his arms and held his chin, also with a puzzled look on his face, "Yun Ting did say that at the time the imperial physician said she couldn't have children, so how come she could have children now?"
Xiao Yu knew that Su Lingyue was very concerned about the relationship between the Su family and the Queen, and she must have thought about it in the past few days, so he asked her, "What do you think, Yue'er?"
Su Lingyue nodded, "If she doesn't leave the house, I won't have the opportunity to check her pulse. I have to let her leave the house. The flower viewing banquet in the beginning of spring is an opportunity."
"This is not a banquet that the Crown Prince's concubine must attend." Xiao Yu expressed his thoughts.
"Yes, but in some cases she will go by herself." Su Lingyue said confidently, "I know my sister very well. She is pregnant at this time, she must want to keep her position as the Crown Prince's concubine or even return to the position of Crown Princess. She is so anxious, she must feel threatened by the marriage."
Xiao Yu and Yan Qing didn't say anything and waited for her to continue.
"The granddaughter of Grand Tutor He and the daughter of General Shen must have prepared to return to the capital for their marriage to the crown prince in June. My sister must be interested in both of them. As long as the flower-viewing banquet is scheduled for when they return, Su Nanxing will definitely go there to claim sovereignty. General Shen's daughter is coming from the East China Sea and must be on her way now. I'll go ask Wan Ning when Grand Tutor He's granddaughter will be back."
"Well, this is indeed an opportunity." Xiao Yu affirmed Su Lingyue's words.
His fingers unconsciously stroked the mattress covering his body, and he lowered his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.
Listening to Su Lingyue's words, Yan Qing's eyes moved rapidly.
If Su Nanxing has a stomach problem, this matter might be used to help the prince get the spiritual fire grass.
Yan Qing patted his chest and said, "Princess, I'll ask someone about the time when General Shen's daughter will return to the capital. I guarantee it will be accurate!"
Su Lingyue's eyes lit up, and she couldn't help but smile and said, "The one who knows me best is Yan Qing! Then I'll leave it to you!"
Yan Qing was very pleased with Su Lingyue's praise.
He put his hands on his hips, looking very proud, "I'll find someone to do it later! Don't worry!"
Neither of them noticed that Xiao Yu, who was leaning on the bed, had his brows furrowed into a small mountain and his eyes were looking straight at Su Lingyue.

After Yan Qing went out, Su Lingyue turned her head and saw Xiao Yu looking at her with a frown.
"What's wrong, Your Majesty? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"
As Su Lingyue spoke, she was about to hold Xiao Yu's wrist to feel his pulse.
Xiao Yu took the little hand that was stretched out to her, and did not let her feel her pulse. He looked at her straight, and asked without any expression on his face: "When did Yue'er and Yan Qing become close friends?"
Su Lingyue didn't understand why he asked that. After thinking for a while, she said, "I don't know. I just feel that when I talk to Yan Qing, he can understand me easily and I can understand him easily. It's not difficult to talk to him. Any questions?"
"What about my husband?" Xiao Yu said softly.
"Your Highness, why do your words sound a bit like... what the ladies in the harem often say. Are you jealous?" Su Lingyue couldn't help but chuckled.
Xiao Yu scratched her palm with his index finger and continued to ask, "Am I Yue'er's confidant?"
Su Lingyue felt the itch in her palm and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, I have secretly thought of something."
"What?" Xiao Yu stopped moving his fingers and waited for her answer.
Su Lingyue looked into Xiao Yu's eyes, her cheeks suddenly flushed, she lowered her head and moved towards Xiao Yu, burying her head in the side of Xiao Yu's neck, and spoke in a low voice: "I have thought about this more than once, when you are well in the future, how many children should we have?"
Xiao Yu's body stiffened. He didn't expect Su Lingyue to say this.
"I want a daughter, like me, and treat her like the apple of my eye, raising her with all my love, and never letting her suffer any grievances. I also want a son, like you, and let him be as unbridled and outspoken as Yan Qing. I think the princes of the past should be like Yan Qing."
After a moment's silence, an uncontrollable laugh came from the ear, and a big hand covered Su Lingyue's back, rubbing her cheek intimately.
"Does Yan Qing know that Yue'er treats him as a child?"
Although Xiao Yu's cheeks were as cool as jade, Su Lingyue's cheeks were even hotter, and she whispered in defense: "He is just like a child."
"Zhao Xingzhou went to the Western Territory. I asked him to find the Spirit Fire Grass. My uncle's business is also looking for it, so Your Majesty must not give up hope."
"it is good."
Knowing that Su Lingyue was worried, Xiao Yu still didn't plan to tell her that Xiao Changan had the spiritual fire grass.
As he held Su Lingyue in his arms, his desire to live long and long became even stronger.
