"Master, it's raining outside. Please come in quickly." Xuelian called out to the master who was sitting on a chair at the corridor with his knees hugged.
Yan Xijun seemed as if she hadn't heard anything, her two eyes staring blankly at the world outside the rain curtain.
Xue Lian let out a deep sigh. Since the master found out that his child had miscarried yesterday, she hadn't said another word.
Two days have passed in silence. Sorrow has climbed onto her eyebrows and eyes. Because she hasn't eaten, her body has grown thinner day by day.
Xue Lian also knew the general situation of the whole thing. The master was frightened by someone and had a miscarriage. The person who poisoned him was really cruel. Not only did he cruelly kill the little prince, but he also gave the master such a vicious poison.
Alas, the Emperor hasn't come to Ganquan Palace for several days now. I heard he's taken in a new 'daughter' into the palace. Has he doted on another 'daughter' again?
Xue Lian sighed helplessly. Emperor's feelings are really shallow. Even if he doted on his master in the past, now he has turned around and fallen in love with someone else.
It's really not worth it for the master.
Xue Lian looked again at the person who was still sitting there in a daze. Seeing that the rain outside was getting heavier, she could only go into the house to find a cloak and gently put it on her master's body.
"Master, you're still weak. Don't stay outside anymore. I'll help you back into the house, okay?"
Yan Xijun pushed her hand away and said weakly: "Xue Lian, you don't have to take care of me anymore."
"Ah. The master has finally deigned to speak."
Xue Lian's 'excited' hand grasped the icy small hand of her master. Anxiously, she said: "Master, from now on I won't care about you either. No one will take care of you."
Wen Qin has already been taken away by the empress dowager for investigation into this case of poisoning people.
"I'm fine, don't worry." Yan Xijun withdrew her hand. She knew that Xue Lian was doing it for her own good. But she was so annoyed now, and her heart ached. A small life in her belly had quietly disappeared without a sound.
"Master." Xue Lian saw the master's indifferent expression and his melancholic gaze, couldn't help but let out a sigh, sadly calling out to him.
She has regarded her master as her closest person in this world, next only to her own brother.
From the moment she was rescued from under the plank by Master that day, she had made up her mind in her heart. Master is better than any other master. She will treat her with her true heart.
"Xue Lian, let me be alone for a while. You go down first." Yan Xi Jun said indifferently.
"Alright then, Master. Don't think too much about it." Xuelian saw her resolute gaze and didn't disturb her again, quietly retreating.
Xue Lian walked away, Yan Xi Jun gazed at the wet floor, her eyes also couldn't help but flow with tears. Her small hands gently stroked her belly, the sadness in her heart was like the small bubbles in a hot spring, unable to be stopped as they churned and bubbled up one after another.
This child ultimately doesn't belong to her. Came in a hurry. Even left in such a hurry.
She had long known that the women in the harem were not easy to deal with and had always been careful, but why did she still escape these misfortunes?
Is this really destined?
The treacherous harem.
Yan Xijun thought of the endless 'plots' in the harem, and her heart felt extremely fearful. It made her think of what Chu Chengming had said to her - that he would take her out of the palace.
Leave the palace. Maybe it's the best choice.
But that night drove him away. Will he forgive himself?
Yan Xijun thought back over everything that had happened during this time and finally decided that the only way she would be happy was to leave the palace.
She had been sitting there for a long time, she didn't know how long. Until a very familiar voice came over.
"My child."
She suddenly turned her head and then saw him with an outstanding figure. He was wearing a blue robe that looked so fitting and handsome on him.
The little eunuch beside him took the oil umbrella for him. The hair on his head was slightly wet with rainwater, and it stuck to his handsome face, but he didn't care at all, walking straight towards himself.
How did he end up here?
Yan Xijun maintained this posture of looking back, dazedly staring at him as he walked closer and closer.
"Xiang'er, you've lost weight." Shen Si Jue reached out and grasped her shoulder, saying sorrowfully.
Endless nights were spent thinking of her, with many words wanting to be said to her. Every day was spent longing to see her when going down the mountain. Now, after being apart for many years, I finally saw her again. She has become someone else's wife.
It's a regret that has been missed for many years. Now that I have learned the "precise" medical skills, what's the use? Even the person I love can't be possessed. What's the meaning of such a life?
Yan Xijun heard his words of concern and could no longer hold back her tears, which fell like pearls from her eyes.
"Silly girl, why are you still crying so much." Seeing her tears, Shen Si Jue's heart was also very distressed. He stretched out his slender fingers and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.
Those memories of youth are like yesterday's rebirth. Listening to his unchanged concern, Yan Xijun cried even more sorrowfully, tears flowing even more fiercely.
She wept like pear blossoms falling tears, touching the deep emotions in his heart. At this moment, he no longer cared about their respective identities. He stretched out his hand and tightly hugged her, embracing her into his own arms.
Yan Xikun didn't struggle either, letting him hold himself in his arms. His body still carried that strong familiar scent of medicinal herbs.
He had always dreamed of holding her in his arms. Now she was leaning against him, obediently nestled in his chest, filling him with deep satisfaction from the bottom of his heart.
Xue Lian, who was sweeping the floor in the house, suddenly heard her master's sorrowful cry and hastily threw down what she was holding and rushed out.
As soon as I stepped out of the door, I saw this scene in front of me. The master was actually embracing a strange man.
The man in blue robes in front of her was really handsome. His dense eyebrows, high nose and starry eyes made Xue Lian's calm heart inexplicably excited. Her heart started pounding, and two red clouds quickly floated onto her face.
Xue Lian stared blankly at the blue-robed young master for a long time, finally snapping out of her daze. She silently scolded herself, wondering what kind of foolish trance she had fallen into. Who was this strange man? How could he take advantage of their host?
Xue Lian jumped up on horseback, her heart racing with anxiety. She shouted loudly: "Who are you? How dare you come here to flirt with my master?"
Xue Lian wanted to rush over and lift him up, but was stopped by another small eunuch.
The little eunuch said: "You can't be rude to Imperial Physician Shen."
"Shen Yu Yi." Xue Lian muttered to herself. Looking at this unfamiliar little eunuch, she asked: "And who are you?"
"My name is Xiao Xuánzi. I am Shen Yuanyi's personal servant." The little eunuch said calmly.
"Oh. What are you doing here?" Xuelian asked in puzzlement.
Xiao Xuanzi was speechless and rolled her eyes. "Aren't you here for me to diagnose your illness?"
"Taking care of an illness." Oh. Xue Lian suddenly realized. It turned out that she was helping her master take care of his illness.
