"Of course we have to talk." Queen Mother Lin looked at Mu Yunhan smiling kindly, her eyes shining: "When do you think it is more convenient?"
"Aunt Mu..." Yan'er shouted softly from the bed, her voice trembling slightly.
Mu Yunhan said: "I wonder when your Majesty will rest?"
"I'm old and can't sleep. I usually don't go to bed until around the second watch. Before then, you can come over."
Queen Mother Lin turned around, supported by Aunt Ying and the palace servants, and left tremblingly, without telling Zhifang what to do.
Zhi Fang was quite at a loss as she stayed there. Mu Yunhan ignored her and walked directly to the bed and leaned over to see Yan'er: "How do you feel, Your Majesty?"
The lamp wasn't bright enough, so she couldn't see Yan'er clearly. Just when she was about to ask someone to hold the lamp, Zhifang came over with the lamp to light it up.
Mu Yunhan raised his eyes and saw Zhifang with his head lowered and silent, looking very obedient, so he smiled: "Auntie is smart."
Zhifang glanced at her, pursed her lips twice, and whispered like a mosquito, "Please give me some advice, madam."
Yan'er was lying on the bed, her forehead and hair were covered with sweat, and her face was pale.
Mu Yunhan frowned. She felt that the child seemed to be thinner than he had been a few days ago.
According to her opinion, it would be better for the child to take a hot bath, but bathing in the palace is not easy, and this is a sick person.
Therefore, she could only do the next best thing. She wiped Yan'er's sweat with a handkerchief and said with a smile: "When the ventilation is better, let's close the door, put on a basin of hot water, wipe it, and change into clean clothes."
, also change the furnishings on the bed, okay?"
"Okay." Yan'er looked at her with a satisfied smile, her eyes were so big, and her lips had no color at all.
Mu Yunhan reached out to help him up and said with a smile: "Good boy, would you like to let your aunt feel your pulse?"
Yan'er tentatively leaned his head in her arms and said softly, "Okay."
Mu Yunhan checked his pulse and praised him with a smile: "It's better than last time. Have you listened to me and eaten well, drank medicine and slept well these days?"
"Yes." Yan'er nodded vigorously, his big head hanging on his thin neck, making people worried that it would fall off.
He held Mu Yunhan's hand with his damp and skinny hand, and said in a low voice: "Aunt Mu, are Yan'er good or not?"
"Very well-behaved." Mu Yunhan hugged him tightly and tried to push back the tears in his eyes, "Yan'er is very well-behaved."
"Then will you always stay with me?" He raised his head and looked straight at her, his big, dark eyes full of hope and longing, "I will get better, and Aunt Mu will always stay with me.
Follow me, right?"
"Yes." Mu Yunhan said firmly.
Yan'er smiled contentedly and shrank into her arms shyly.
He seemed a little tired and stopped talking or moving while leaning against her.
For a long time, Mu Yunhan thought he had fallen asleep, and was about to put him down when he heard him whisper: "I thought you wouldn't come back, just like them."
Mu Yunhan asked: "Like who?"
Yan'er didn't make a sound.
Mu Yunhan hugged him and sat quietly again.
The candle flame was beating slightly, and she could feel Yan'er's little heart beating very softly, and her own heart was beating too.
"I can hear your heart beating." Yan'er smiled weakly, "I'm so happy."
He talked and fell asleep.
Mu Yunhan laid him down and decided to give up on rubbing him.
She arranged her clothes and jewelry and went to see Queen Mother Lin.
