Chapter 21 Getting better

"...Ma'am, where is the food set?"

"...Madam, would you like to try it?"

"..Why do you still call me Niangzi?"

"I forgot, I forgot."

The women burst into laughter.

His house has never been so lively. He doesn't like to be noisy, and he doesn't like to be served close by. He always likes to be alone. But at this moment, when he heard the excitement, he didn't feel bored, but felt very comfortable.

.

It's like opening the window on a spring day and the gentle breeze blowing on your face.

Prince Jin'an moved his fingers, trying to open his eyes.

"Your Highness!"

The voices in my ears became louder.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, are you awake?"

Prince Jin'an opened his eyes and saw his familiar servant approaching, looking excited.

Did you fall asleep again? How long did you last for this time?

"Madam, Madam, Your Highness is awake. Your Highness is awake." Eunuch Jing turned his head and shouted excitedly.

There was a soft sound of footsteps over there, and someone was standing over.

Prince Jin'an felt his eyes light up, and his hazy vision suddenly became clear.

"Wake up." Cheng Jiaoniang said, looking at his face, "Would you like some water?"

Prince Jin'an nodded.

"Give your Highness a drink of water." Cheng Jiaoniang said and stood away.

Eunuch Jing hurriedly responded and called two maids to carefully help Prince Jin'an to sit down, then picked up a bowl of water and carefully fed him to him.

Prince Jin'an watched the woman turn around and go out.

"Go and tell Dr. Li that he's awake and can give you medicine," she said.

The waiter responded and ran away in a hurry.

Prince Jin'an watched her sit down in the hall opposite. Two maids handed her bowls and chopsticks. They seemed to whisper something, and a smile appeared on her face...

A face came over and blocked his view.

"Your Highness, drink some water." Eunuch Jing said, looking at Prince Jin'an with some concern.

His face was a little dull and his expression was a little confused.

Being poisoned twice in a row must have taken a huge toll on the body, as everyone was stunned.

Prince Jin'an closed his eyes and leaned back.

"No more drinking," he said.

After only two sips, Eunuch Jin wanted to persuade him again, but he also knew the temper of Prince Jin'an. What he had agreed upon was final and he didn't like others to mention it again and again.

There was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and Dr. Li came in a hurry. He saw Cheng Jiaoniang eating, and came over to treat the prince of Jin'an County.

"It's really better, it's really better." He couldn't help but said happily while making diagnosis and treatment.

After using the medicine and acupuncture, Cheng Jiaoniang came over after finishing her meal. As soon as she glanced at Prince Jin'an, she was excitedly asked aside by Dr. Li.

"Madam, it's obviously the same poison, so why is it okay this time?" he asked.

"The poison is the same kind of poison, but the people who are poisoned are different from before." Cheng Jiaoniang said.

Is Prince Jin'an different from before?

Dr. Li glanced at Prince Jin'an on the couch in confusion.

What's the difference?

"Madam, how did you make him different?" he asked hurriedly.

Eunuch Jing coughed heavily and looked a little embarrassed.

What's wrong?

Doctor Li turned to look at Eunuch Jing in confusion.

"Madam, you have been busy for a long time. You can go and take a break." Eunuch Jing said to Cheng Jiaoniang respectfully.

Cheng Jiaoniang hummed and walked out.

"Madam, the paving is done here."

"Would you like to read a book first?"

Joyful voices came from the house over there.

Doctor Li here glared at Eunuch Jing very unhappily.

"I haven't finished asking yet." He whispered.

"You are stupid, what are you asking about?" Eunuch Jing also glared unhappily, pulled him aside and whispered, "Why do you think His Highness has changed?"

"Why is it different?" Doctor Li asked.

Eunuch Jing glared at him.

"Of course, yes, he has become a real man." He said angrily.

Doctor Li was stunned for a moment.

"You're still asking, and how did it change? You, you are so old! Even if you respect her as your teacher, you can't help but avoid it to this extent." Eunuch Jing gritted his teeth and whispered, reaching out and hitting Li with a whisk.

The doctor's arm asked, "How do you want your wife to answer you?"

Doctor Li suddenly felt a little embarrassed and confused.

"Is that so?" he said with a frown.

This kind of thing is really unheard of, but there is no end to learning in this world. Even at the beginning, he did not expect that this lady could make Mr. Chen out of bed in three days...

They were talking in low voices here, and Prince Jin'an, who was lying on the bed there, coughed.

"Your Highness." The two of them hurried over and asked with concern.

Prince Jin'an raised his hand slightly and waved at them.

"Go down," he said.

Doctor Li and Eunuch Jing were stunned for a moment.

"Noisy." Prince Jin'an uttered two more words and closed his eyes.

Doctor Li and Eunuch Jing looked at each other complainingly.

Let's make a noise to His Highness.

His Highness had to endure such a serious crime, so he deserved more rest. The two of them bowed and left.

"Let's go, Madam is here, don't worry." Eunuch Jing looked at Dr. Li who didn't want to leave and said in a low voice.

"Of course I'm not worried." Doctor Li said, looking at the hall over there with a look of reluctance. Behind the hanging bead curtain, you could see the woman sitting in front of the window reading a book, "I still have many things I haven't asked for advice on."

Eunuch Jinping scolded him, took a step forward, bowed and saluted to the other side of the curtain.

"Madam, Your Highness also needs to rest." He said respectfully, "The servants are waiting outside. If you have anything to do, just give me your orders."

Cheng Jiaoniang put down the book in her hand and nodded.

"You go ahead," she said, standing up.

Watching these people exit, Suxin hurriedly came over to open the curtain, and Cheng Jiaoniang walked to the bedroom.

Prince Jin'an was lying on the couch with his eyes closed and seemed to be asleep.

"Madam?" Banqin asked softly.

"You guys should go down and have a rest. You are all tired after being shocked." Cheng Jiaoniang said.

Suxin and Banqin responded and retreated.

The room became quiet. Prince Jin'an closed his eyes and felt the sound of the man turning the pages of a book on the couch where he was sitting.

It was a hot summer day, and there seemed to be the sound of cicadas chirping in the distance. With the soft fragrance in his nose, Prince Jin'an gradually fell asleep.

When Prince Jin'an woke up again, the lights in the house were already on.

There was laughter again in the room.

"...Look, this must have been written by a child..."

"...Yes, yes, this is very similar to the lady's handwriting."

What are they looking at?

Prince Jin'an wanted to push himself up, but the maid kneeling beside him immediately noticed and shouted happily that His Highness was awake.

The chatter and laughter outside suddenly stopped, the bead curtain made a sound, and someone came over.

"Your Highness, lie down quickly." Su Xin said hurriedly, looking at Prince Jin'an who was already half sitting up.

Cheng Jiaoniang smiled and walked closer to look at him.

"I feel much better. I've been lying down for so long. Let's sit down for a while," she said.

After hearing what she said, the maids quickly put up cushions and helped King Jin'an sit down.

Sure enough, he had been lying there for too long, and his vision was slightly dizzy. A hand touched his shoulder, feeling the soft warmth through the thin summer clothes.

"Take a sip." Cheng Jiaoniang said, gently holding his shoulder with one hand, and passing the tea bowl to Prince Jin'an's mouth with the other.

The prince of Jin'an County took a sip as he was told.

"Madam, where is the food?" A maid asked outside.

Cheng Jiaoniang looked at the Prince of Jin'an County.

"Want to have dinner with me?" she asked with a slight smile.

………………………………………….

"Can you even sit up and eat?"

When the news reached the outer courtyard, Mr. Gu was so happy that he didn't even bother to eat. He got up and walked back and forth for a few steps.

"Do you regret not letting the prince marry you earlier?" Eunuch Jing said with a smile.

"Earlier? You may not be able to get married earlier." Mr. Gu said, "If she hadn't been buried with her, the Queen Mother would not have let her get married."

The Queen Mother must have regretted it at this time.

"I've heard that Mrs. Cheng is very powerful, but I heard that it feels different from being up close." He twirled his beard and said.

"Yes, I suddenly felt like nothing was a big deal, and I felt particularly relaxed." Eunuch Jing said.

How dangerous it was today, the entire county and prince's palace was about to collapse, but when this woman stepped forward and said just two or three words, the situation was completely reversed.

That's what turning the clouds and the rain means.

Although the king's resurrection is the key and foundation of the matter, why the king can survive is definitely the credit of this woman.

Even though the Confucian disciples don't believe in ghosts and gods, they can't help but have some reverie in their hearts at this moment.

"Eat a bowl of bird's nest porridge."

Doctor Li walked in from outside and said happily.

"This is the first time in a long time that Your Highness has eaten so much."

Mr. Gu and Eunuch Jing looked even happier.

"What are you still doing here?" Doctor Li seemed to have just seen Eunuch Jing, "You don't have to avoid taboos, so why are you hiding out and being lazy?"

Before Eunuch Jing got up and said to leave, Mr. Gu quickly raised his hand to stop him.

"The princess doesn't like having too many people waiting in front of her. If she doesn't summon you, don't come forward to offend her," he said.

Doctor Li stared at him.

"Why do I think these words are so familiar? Mr. Gu, you learn so quickly," he said.

Laughter rang out in the room.

When the boys outside heard this, they couldn't help but look at each other with joy in their expressions.

It's been a long time since I heard laughter at home.

This joy is really the right one.

The light was soft and bright, the wind blew in from the open window, and the hanging mosquito-proof gauze curtains swayed slightly.

Watching Cheng Jiaoniang put down her chopsticks, Banqin hurriedly brought some tea to rinse her mouth, while the waiting maids outside came in, packed the tables and went out.

After learning that the meal was finished, Eunuch Jing and Doctor Li came in.

Dr. Li checked the pulse of King Jin'an and asked him what to say.

Although he could barely speak, it was not even a little bit better than the previous days. Doctor Li was very happy and asked questions.

The Prince of Jin'an County was absent-minded, looking at Cheng Jiaoniang who was sitting by the opposite window and listening to Eunuch Jing's words.

Under the light, her skin becomes whiter and more delicate, her eyes sparkle, and her expression is serious and a bit relaxed, which makes the speaker feel that she is being taken seriously without feeling nervous.

"Your Highness?"

Doctor Li took a step forward and stood in front of Prince Jin'an, blocking his sight.

"Did you hear me?"

"What is there to say?" Prince Jin'an said slowly, "Take medicine when you should, use acupuncture when you should, use acupuncture, there are too many words."

Doctor Li was stunned, then laughed again and looked at Cheng Jiaoniang over there.

Eunuch Jin's face was also filled with astonishment, and he turned to look at Prince Jin'an.

"Your Highness is going too?" he asked.

They were talking about returning home tomorrow. They thought they would cancel it under such circumstances, but they didn't expect Cheng Jiaoniang to say that she wanted to go. Not only was she going, but she also wanted to take Prince Jin'an with her.

"But His Highness's body..." Dr. Li couldn't help but say.

"It will be fine tomorrow." Cheng Jiaoniang said.

Will it be fine tomorrow?

Doctor Li and Eunuch Jing's eyes widened.

Real or fake?

As the night grew darker, after Cheng Jiaoniang came out from the bath, Prince Jin'an was also washed and helped to bed by four servants.

"Is your hair dry?" Cheng Jiaoniang asked.

"Madam did not wash His Highness's hair." The young chamberlain replied respectfully.

Cheng Jiaoniang nodded.

"You guys go down," she said.

The servants responded and left. Banqin and Suxin extinguished the two lights in the room and also left.

"I will stay here tonight, you can go back to the house and sleep." Su Xin said.

Banqin hesitated again.

"After all, such a big thing happened during the day, I'll stay too," she whispered.

The two were talking when they heard Cheng Jiaoniang's voice coming from the other side.

"...Take off your clothes..."

The two were suddenly startled and looked at each other.

It’s normal to take off your clothes while sleeping….

“…..I want more tonight….”

The somewhat weak voice of Prince Jin'an came.

Banqin and Suxin immediately avoided each other's eyes, their faces turning red.

Suxin stretched out her hand to hold Banqin, staggered out of the hall, and went straight to the secondary room on the other side, flashing out the lights in a panic.

As the room fell into darkness, low muffled moans spread from the bedroom over there.

Su Xin covered her head with the quilt.

Madam, please have some mercy.
