[Wei Sinian is actually a decent guy. He even saved my life. Should I give him a little hint?]
He never thought the noble consort would ever talk to him about those things in her whole life. As the saying goes, strange powers and chaotic spirits are to be avoided. If he didn't have the ability to read minds, and if the noble consort told him those "future events", he would surely think she was out of her mind, and might even send her to the cold palace.
But now she was willing to take the risk, going against her usual self who cherished her life so much.
Wei Sinian looked at her.
Wen Fuyue's lips were still a bit pale, but the look in her eyes when she looked at him carried a determination she herself was unaware of, like the fireflies he saw in the pavilion by the lake last time.
At this moment, her delicate eyebrows were slightly knitted, and she gave him a kind smile. Her exquisite features were filled with indescribable tenderness.
Wei Sinian was stunned for a moment and stared at her absent - mindedly. In a trance, he seemed to hear the sound of dripping water, as if a block of ice was melting somewhere.
"Drip, drip..."
"Your Majesty, I've heard that the family of the Marquis of Anyang has been in turmoil recently."
Wen Fuyue thought for a long time and then spoke tentatively.
"Yes, I already know that the Marquis of Anyang has secretly contacted the Prince of An." Wei Sinian was silent for a moment before answering Wen Fuyue.
[??? Holy crap! You knew! Dude, how did you know? If you knew, why did you die so miserably in the last life!]
Wen Fuyue couldn't hide the shock on her face. The way she looked at Wei Sinian was as if she was looking at something strange. Her eyes were slightly round, like a startled fawn.
Wei Sinian burst into laughter.
[Oh no. I was feeling kind - hearted for once. It seems I'm the one who's going to be in trouble next. Wei Sinian won't ask me how I know, right? It seems I'm going to die a clear - cut death this time...]
The uneasiness in Wen Fuyue's eyes didn't escape Wei Sinian's notice. He stopped laughing and looked at her with a rare tenderness in his eyes. His voice was unusually light - hearted. "It seems the noble consort knows a lot. You truly deserve to be my most favored consort."
Wen Fuyue: "..." Although Wei Sinian's tone was normal, she had every reason to suspect that this guy was joking.
[Wei Sinian can even crack jokes. Wow.]
The corners of Wei Sinian's mouth curled up slightly. There was a pleased smile in his eyes. The way he looked at Wen Fuyue was completely different from his usual deep - set gaze. There was not a trace of speculation or malice.
Wen Fuyue had an intuition that Wei Sinian wouldn't continue to ask questions, and he didn't even doubt her for what she had just said.
Unfathomable.
These four words suddenly popped into Wen Fuyue's mind. It seemed that Wei Sinian wasn't completely in the dark. Then why did he die so miserably?
In the original plot, it was precisely because of the inside - outside cooperation of the Marquis of Anyang that Wei Sijing was able to successfully enter the inner city and then kill Wei Sinian.
Moreover, he didn't seem to mind that she knew so much. He even had no trace of guard against her. In the original book, Wei Sinian was a suspicious tyrant. Even his own uncle had been suspected. What on earth did she do to gain his trust?
Forget it. Stop thinking. Realizing that the plot line might no longer be the same as before, Wen Fuyue inexplicably let out a sigh of relief and relaxed.
In the middle of the night, Wen Fuyue was suddenly awakened by gasping sounds. By the dim moonlight, she saw that Wei Sinian's face was covered in sweat, his complexion was flushed, and he looked very uncomfortable.
She immediately reached out and touched his forehead.
It was so hot!
"Anfu, call the imperial physician." Wen Fuyue was greatly shocked. She quickly got up, put on her clothes, and covered Wei Sinian with the quilt. "The Emperor has a fever."
She anxiously took the water from the maid and tried to wake Wei Sinian up to check if he was still conscious.
"Wei Sinian, Wei Sinian."
Wei Sinian heard someone calling his name. The voice was anxious, full of worry and concern.
He struggled to open his eyes. His consciousness was unclear, his eyes were hazy, and he looked utterly confused.
[Oh no, is he going to be burned stupid!]
Wen Fuyue looked at Wei Sinian's flushed face. The look in his eyes when he looked at her was confused and a bit childish. His expression was even a bit silly.
[Ah! Why isn't the imperial physician here yet? Oh my god!]
[Help! I'm so anxious! Why is Wei Sinian like this!]
Wen Fuyue tried hard to calm herself down. She wanted to say something, but the words got stuck in her throat.
Suddenly, a strong sense of guilt swept over her whole body. A pang of pain welled up in Wen Fuyue's heart. The way she looked at Wei Sinian became as gentle as water.
She gently helped Wei Sinian up and fed him water.
"It's so noisy." Wei Sinian's voice was hoarse. He let out a sigh as if he was acting coquettishly.
[Where is it noisy! No one is talking. Oh my god!]
Wen Fuyue's face was full of horror upon hearing this. Her heart was beating so fast that it seemed to fly out of her chest the next second.
"I want to drink water." Wei Sinian looked at Wen Fuyue and spoke slowly.
Wen Fuyue had no choice but to stop her chaotic thoughts and feed Wei Sinian water.
It should be okay. She thought. At least he knew he was thirsty. He shouldn't go stupid... right?
"The imperial physician is here!" Anfu gasped. He brought the imperial physician, who was too old to run fast and was being carried forward by the guards, and they rushed to Wei Sinian's bedside out of breath.
Wen Fuyue immediately got up and stepped aside. But suddenly, her hand was grabbed by the man who had somehow regained consciousness. She was startled. She looked down and saw that Wei Sinian's eyes were still a bit dazed. When he saw her looking down, he tried hard to say, "Don't leave, okay?"
The imperial physician and Anfu: "……?!" Was this something they were allowed to witness? Would they be beheaded by the Emperor when he woke up!
Wen Fuyue didn't expect Wei Sinian to suddenly become so clingy.
Wei Sinian's expression was calm, but the look in his eyes when he looked at her carried an indescribable sense of stickiness. Wen Fuyue suddenly felt that he was a bit like a child who was afraid of being abandoned. So she sat back down and comforted him, "Okay, I won't leave."
"I'll just sit here. Please examine the Emperor, Imperial Physician."
"Yes, Noble Consort."
Seeing that Wei Sinian was holding onto her tightly, Wen Fuyue said softly, "Let go of my hand. I won't leave. If you hold me like this, the imperial physician won't be able to examine you."
Under Wen Fuyue's slightly warning gaze, Wei Sinian reluctantly let go of her hand and then placed his hand on the edge of the bed.
The imperial physician wiped the sweat from his forehead, stepped forward, and placed his hand on Wei Sinian's wrist.
"Your Majesty the Noble Consort, the Emperor is not seriously ill. He just caught a cold and has a fever. I'll prescribe a few doses of medicine later. After taking them, he'll be fine."
"Okay. Thank you, Your Excellency." Wen Fuyue let out a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Wei Sinian was not seriously ill. Otherwise, she would probably be doomed with him.
She looked at the man on the bed, struggling to open his eyes and look at her. Her heart softened a bit.
When the medicine was brought, Wen Fuyue realized the seriousness of the problem when she saw Wei Sinian suddenly frown.
Oh my god, Wei Sinian was actually afraid of the bitter taste!
She looked at the frowning man in front of her in disbelief. As soon as the medicine got close to him, he dodged. Anfu and the others tried for a long time, but they couldn't even get a single mouthful of medicine into him. They almost spilled the medicine on the bed.
Wen Fuyue: "..."
"Your Majesty the Noble Consort, this..." Anfu looked embarrassed. There was a pleading look in his eyes when he looked at Wen Fuyue. He held the medicine forward. "Your Majesty, look, the Emperor won't get better if he doesn't take the medicine. But we servants really have no way. How about you give it a try?"
Can I refuse!
Wen Fuyue instinctively wanted to wave her hand, but then she remembered that Wei Sinian had caught a fever while saving her.
She took the medicine and saw that the look in Wei Sinian's eyes when he looked at her suddenly became alert.
Should she ask someone to hold him down and force - feed him the medicine?
