No way.
Wen Fuyue quickly dismissed her overly bold idea. Looking at Wei Sinian, she felt a splitting headache and wished she could take the medicine for him.
What should she do?
Wen Fuyue wavered between finding a way to feed him the medicine and tying Wei Sinian up to force - feed him.
Finally, her will to survive and sense of guilt overcame that faint, unclear emotion in her heart. She thought for a moment and said to Wen Yu, "Wen Yu, please find some of my white gourd candies."
"White gourd candies?" Wei Sinian perked up at the mention. His eyes lit up as he looked at Wen Fuyue. He immediately sat up and said, "I want to eat them!"
Oh no. Looking at the excitement on Wei Sinian's face, these were the only two words in Wen Fuyue's mind.
Was Wei Sinian really okay? Could it be that the imperial physician was afraid of her blame and thus said he was fine? Could a simple fever really lower one's IQ to such an extent?
Wen Fuyue didn't even want to say more. Wei Sinian even looked cute and aggrieved. Usually, his narrow and seemingly heartless fox - eyes were now wide open as he looked at her, clear and innocent, showing no trace of the tyrant he usually was.
[Wei Sinian, your character has collapsed!]
Looking at his innocent look, so different from his usual self, Wen Fuyue was dazed for a moment under his gaze.
Wei Sinian had very nice lips. When he looked at people, there was a natural faint curve on them, but he always suppressed it, so his expression always seemed cold and heartless. Perhaps due to the fever, his lips were now red and moist. When Wen Fuyue looked at him, he even subconsciously licked them, looking innocent and delicious.
[Help! This expression is so tempting. This contrastive cuteness is really alluring. Why does it have to be Wei Sinian? Wuwuwu!]
Suddenly, Wen Fuyue remembered the common scene in TV dramas of feeding medicine mouth - to - mouth. Her face immediately flushed bright red, and waves of heat rushed to her ears.
Under Wei Sinian's slightly confused gaze, she covered her face, filled with a sense of guilt.
Wei Sinian just looked blankly at the woman who made him feel at ease suddenly cover her face, and then her gaze towards him became evasive.
Why did she cover her face? And what did "tempting to commit a crime" mean? Wei Sinian didn't understand. Under Wen Fuyue's gaze, he somehow blushed too and felt even hotter.
It was uncomfortable. He couldn't help but frown and complained softly in his heart, then stared at Wen Fuyue without blinking.
"Your Majesty the Imperial Concubine." An Fu, who was standing beside, only saw Wen Fuyue's sudden movement but didn't see her expression clearly. He thought the imperial concubine was covering her face and crying out of guilt, so he immediately explained to her, "Your Majesty will be a bit delirious when he has a fever. That's why His Majesty usually takes good care of his body and rarely gets sick."
Wen Fuyue instantly felt as if an arrow shot by An Fu had hit her pounding heart. The guilt she had just managed to suppress welled up again instantly.
[I'm such a jerk! Wei Sinian is burning like this, and I was actually indulging in his good looks just now…]
Wei Sinian tilted his head slightly and looked at Wen Fuyue with a hint of confusion on his face.
Why could he hear this woman's voice even when she didn't speak? Should he tell her?
Forget it. He'd just keep it as his own secret. Listening to Wen Fuyue's somewhat panicked inner thoughts, Wei Sinian subconsciously pulled out a faint smile.
Under the dim candlelight, Wei Sinian saw Wen Fuyue with her head down, looking entangled. Her hand unconsciously tightened on the corner of her clothes.
Her beautiful face now seemed to be veiled under the candlelight, indescribably captivating.
Wei Sinian was stunned for a moment, then quickly came to his senses, but his heart was pounding so hard that his ears turned slightly red. Unfortunately, due to the fever, Wen Fuyue didn't notice this little anomaly.
"Your Majesty, the white gourd candies are here."
Wen Fuyue took the white gourd candies and said to Wei Sinian softly, "Your Majesty, do you want to eat these? How about we take the medicine first and then you can eat them?"
Humph, was this woman treating him like a child?
Wei Sinian instinctively wanted to refuse, but involuntarily nodded under her gentle gaze.
Wei Sinian: "…" Forget it. He wouldn't argue with this woman.
Under the surprised gazes of An Fu and the others, Wen Fuyue successfully fed Wei Sinian the medicine, then coaxed him to go back to sleep.
Wei Sinian vaguely felt that something was off, but he obediently cooperated with Wen Fuyue's actions. He felt a bit sleepy in her gentle voice and then sank into a reassuring darkness.
…
Wei Sinian felt himself being pulled by drowsiness and sank into a deep dream.
It was Wei Sinian at the age of nine.
Although he was just a young boy, one could already faintly see the handsomeness he would grow into in the future. His figure was a bit thin, but he stood upright, with a serious look on his face.
In the imperial garden, Wei Sinian frowned as he looked at the elegant woman in front of him.
The woman was dressed in a blue dress. She was sitting in a small pavilion, holding a book in her hand, with a gentle smile on her face.
Seeing the little boy who suddenly appeared, she couldn't help but smile and got up to salute.
"Greetings to His Highness the Crown Prince."
"Um, Greetings to Your Majesty the Concubine Chen."
Hearing this, Chen Jinshu's eyes showed a gentle smile. She walked up to Wei Sinian, squatted down slightly and asked, "Your Highness the Crown Prince, why are you here?"
It was the time for morning lessons. Wei Sinian should have been in the Imperial College, not running to the imperial garden.
Obviously, he had sneaked here.
Hearing this, a look of embarrassment flashed across Wei Sinian's childish face. Then he tightly pursed his lips and stared at the woman in front of him without saying a word.
He was still just a child. Thinking of that woman, Chen Jinshu silently sighed in her heart. Her expression remained calm as she looked at Wei Sinian and said softly, "Your Highness the Crown Prince, are you not feeling well? Then stay here and rest with me for a while. I'll talk to His Majesty later."
It seemed that he didn't expect the woman in front of him to be so easy - going. And if he stayed here, he could see his father whom he hadn't seen for a long time.
Little Wei Sinian was wavering, but out of self - esteem, he still didn't say a word.
"Come, Your Highness the Crown Prince, would you like to try these pastries?"
Concubine Chen was giving him an opportunity to save face. Realizing this, Wei Sinian blushed shyly and nodded, saying, "Th… Thank you, Your Majesty the Concubine."
So Wei Sinian stayed and saw his father whom he hadn't seen for a long time. Even when he returned to the palace in the evening, there was still an excited smile in his eyes.
"Kneel down."
A cold female voice came, instantly shattering the smile on Wei Sinian's lips.
He stared stiffly at the woman sitting in the main seat. His body went rigid with fear, and the smile in his eyes was replaced by fear.
How could he forget that his mother hated Concubine Chen the most, and there were her spies everywhere in the palace. How could he have been so lucky as to think that as long as he got to see his father, his mother wouldn't blame him?
When the whip full of anger landed on his body, Wei Sinian saw Wei Sijing, who was highly favored and standing behind his mother, frown at him. His mother covered Wei Sijing's eyes and comforted him constantly.
Wei Sinian was in so much pain that he felt a bit dazed. He always felt that he saw the gentle Concubine Chen again and his equally gentle father, who was so different from when facing his mother.
He knew that his mother only loved his younger brother, because the day he was born was Concubine Chen's birthday, and his father had only shown up briefly.
The more his mother loved his father, the more she hated Concubine Chen. Even he, her own son, was an unwanted child.
Inappropriately, he thought that it would be great if he were Concubine Chen's child.
He woke up with a start.
Wei Sinian was covered in sweat. His clothes were tightly stuck to his body, and he couldn't help but frown in discomfort.
Did he have a fever last night?
He turned his head and saw Wen Fuyue sleeping on a small stool, lying on the edge of the bed.
The morning light was dim. The scattered golden light shone behind her, making Wen Fuyue look like a celestial being. Perhaps the small stool was not very comfortable, so even in her sleep, Wen Fuyue frowned tightly and her face was slightly red.
The imperial concubine had stayed by his side all night. His memory gradually came back. Thinking of how he had behaved last night, Wei Sinian pursed his lips. A sense of shame and an indescribable joy welled up in his heart.
Thinking of those tender eyes last night, Wei Sinian felt a strange tingling in his heart, and his eyes unconsciously softened.
The imperial concubine was the laziest and usually slept for a long time. But last night, she was willing to stay with him all night. It was really…
Wei Sinian was silent for a moment, then slowly got up and planned to carry Wen Fuyue to the bed.
As soon as his hand touched her waist, Wen Fuyue trembled and murmured sleepily, "Don't move. It's still early. Let me sleep a bit more."
Wei Sinian was stunned at first, then almost burst out laughing. He gently carried her to the bed and covered her with the quilt.
It was time to go to court.
He sighed in his heart, took one last look at Wen Fuyue, and then walked out.
"Don't wake up the imperial concubine. Let her rest well."
