Fallen Imperial Consort from Heaven - C936 936 Pain
However, she didn’t think about anything else. After all, if she was already waiting for death, even knowing that she didn’t have much time left, how could she naively hope that someone would be able to save her life?
Thus, when Yan Yuan asked for her pulse examination, she only thought that it was just to let Xia Tao Hua see her body condition.
Perhaps the medicine given to her by the Mr. Lu was really effective, even though she did not take any medicine for half a month, her body did not feel any discomfort.
“Alright.”
She nodded, and did not call for Xia Tao Hua, but went to look for Xia Tao Hua herself.
Yan Yuan did not stop her, but stood up and followed her.
Xia Tao Hua was currently curled up on the bed, his hand clutching his chest tightly. He was in so much pain that his face had turned pale, while his other hand had grabbed and wrinkled the bed sheet underneath her, soaking her pillow in cold sweat.
Outside, there was a knock on the door. “Princess.”
Xia Tao Hua’s eyes moved, she wanted to open her mouth to reply, but because she was in too much pain, she was unable to make a sound.
Liu Ruo Qing and Yan Yuan stood outside the door, and upon seeing that there were no movements inside, they felt that it was a little strange.
Xia Tao Hua would usually be in the middle of the county magistrate court, except for the garden, which he would be staying in.
Now, outside in the afternoon, she was supposed to be in the house.
Liu Ruo Qing was suspicious, she raised her hand to knock, “Princess?”
After knocking on the door a few times, and yet to get a reply, Liu Ruo Qing inevitably started to worry in her heart.
Just as he was about to push open the door and enter, he was stopped by Yan Yuan, “Qi Feng.”
Qi Feng, who was standing at a distance from them and had enough distance to protect them, immediately walked over when he heard Yan Yuan’s call for him.
“Let’s go in and see what’s going on.”
Qi Feng looked at the door in front of him, a complicated look flashing past his eyes, but he did not give it much thought and nodded, “Yes.”
Suppressing the worry in his heart, he reached out to push open the door, only to see Xia Tao Hua curled up on the bed in pain, he was in so much pain that he could not say a single word.
“Princess!”
Qi Feng did not care about the others anymore and rushed forward to help Xia Tao Hua up from the bed. He also forgot about the Yan Yuan and Liu Ruo Qing who were still standing in the room.
Seeing Xia Tao Hua like that, Yan Yuan’s heart also started to panic, he had never forgotten about the pain that Xia Tao Hua was causing to her that could cost him his life, which caused his face to turn ugly.
The fist under the sleeves was clenched tight because of nervousness, yet Qi Feng still continued to hug Xia Tao Hua without saying a word.
Liu Ruo Qing felt that the person beside him was strange, seeing his unsightly expression, she thought that it was because Qi Feng nervously hugged Xia Tao Hua.
Immediately, his heart sank. He walked forward quickly and took Xia Tao Hua from Qi Feng’s embrace, “Bring the princess’s medicine over.”
As Qi Feng looked at Liu Ruo Qing, he thought of the day when she had talked to him. His eyes darkened, but he did not say anything.
“Princess.”
Qi Feng took the pill and brought it over, he had already calmed himself down, and after taking the pill, he poured out the pill and gave it to Liu Ruo Qing, who then gave it to him.
After consuming the medicine for a while, Xia Tao Hua’s painful expression finally eased a little.
“How is it? Are you all right?”
Liu Ruo Qing lightly patted her back, her eyes revealing a look of worry.
Xia Tao Hua nodded his head, he was able to move now, so he sat up straight from Liu Ruo Qing’s embrace: “Much better, thank you esteemed wangfei.”
While they were talking, Xia Tao Hua looked at Qi Feng without batting an eye. Seeing Qi Feng standing at the side and not saying a word, and thinking back to how he looked when he rushed in, Xia Tao Hua’s eyes flashed with a dark light.
After she had rested for a while, she got off the bed, took a look at Yan Yuan and Liu Ruo Qing, and asked, “Is there something that the wangfei wants to see me about?”
Liu Ruo Qing wanted to say that she would come over after she had rested, but she heard Yan Yuan cut her off, “Let her have a look.”
On Yan Yuan’s face, there was an expression of admittance, and even though Xia Tao Hua had just recovered from the severe pain, he still could not find any trace of tender affection for her on his face.
Xia Tao Hua did not mind at all, hearing Yan Yuan’s words, he nodded his head, “Alright.”
She knew the purpose of her visit from the very beginning, so she naturally didn’t think too much about it. On the other hand, under Yan Yuan’s action of not showing any mercy, Liu Ruo Qing turned around and glared at him unhappily.
She had even secretly thought that this person didn’t have any EQ. If it wasn’t for money and face, no girl would have taken a fancy to him.
Just as Liu Ruo Qing turned her head to glare at him, Xia Tao Hua had already grabbed her wrist to check her pulse.
This girl was not much better than her. It was not certain how long she would live.
Xia Tao Hua didn’t take too long to check her pulse, it would recover very quickly, “Princess Hua-Yang’s pulse looks pretty good, but she still needs to take the medicine, she definitely can’t be delayed like before by half a month’s time.”
“Mm, okay, sorry for troubling you. Have a good rest.”
Liu Ruo Qing understood her own illness, so sshe did not ask further. Seeing that Xia Tao Hua’s face was still pale white, he did not plan to stay and disturb her rest.
He stood up and prepared to leave, but he saw Yan Yuan saying from her side: “Go back and rest, I’ll come back later.”
Liu Ruo Qing’s expression froze for a moment, then nodded: “Alright.”
After Liu Ruo Qing walked out, Qi Feng also walked out, “This subordinate will take his leave.”
Only after Qi Feng’s voice sounded within the room did Xia Tao Hua’s originally lowered eyes raise slightly. What he saw was Qi Feng’s tall and slender back, which just so happened to disappear at the door of the room.
Her eyes darkened quietly and she looked at Yan Yuan, smiling: “Why didn’t you tell my wife about the deal between us?”
Judging from Crown Princess Jing’s reaction, she wasn’t clear about the situation between the two of them, and probably thought that Yan Yuan was sincere in wanting to marry her.
Yan Yuan did not answer Xia Tao Hua’s question. He was clear about Qing Er’s intentions.
Other than not fully believing in Xia Tao Hua’s medical skills, and not wanting to make Qing Er happy empty-handed, there was another reason. This was because he knew that Qing Er wished for Xia Tao Hua to marry him and accompany him for the rest of his life.
He could even feel that Xia Tao Hua’s existence made her feel at ease, and since it made her feel this way, he would follow her wishes.
“How is she?”
Yan Yuan avoided her question and asked the one that he wanted to know.
Xia Tao Hua only smiled faintly. “It seems that Your Highness has never believed that I could cure Princess Hua-Yang.”
Yan Yuan’s brows slightly moved, he did not deny.
