Flowers bloom without worries

Chapter 21 Your Concern (2)

Lan Xi tried to turn over, but she completely forgot that her hip was injured. It was not until a sharp pain came that Lan Xi realized it and screamed in pain: "It hurts! It hurts!"

Her scream woke up Xiao Chuhan who was sleeping soundly. Seeing Lan Xi sweating profusely due to the severe pain, Xiao Chuhan was angry and amused. However, when Xiao Chuhan couldn't help laughing, Lan Xi endured the pain and lay on the bed, wrapping herself tightly with the quilt.

"Looking at me now, you must be very proud, right? You feel a sense of accomplishment, right?" When Xiao Chuhan heard Lan Xi say this, the smile on his face immediately disappeared.

"Um...are you feeling better?"

"Try it. Would it hurt if you were spanked thirty times? You are talking without any pain in your waist!"

"But considering that you are injured, I will not bother with you for the time being."

"You are the emperor. Everything you say and do is right." Xiao Chuhan slowly approached Lan Xi, then pulled off the quilt covering Lan Xi and threw it aside.

"What are you doing? Aren't you hot if you keep yourself covered like this?" Xiao Chuhan asked.

"not hot."

"Okay, stop messing around. Tell me how you feel now? Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere else? If necessary, I can ask Doctor Li to come and take a look."

"I'm not feeling uncomfortable. Um...thank you for taking care of me all night." Lan Xi replied.

"Are you very touched?"

"You're overthinking it! I'm not that easily moved!"

"Woman, why do you always speak so irritatingly?"

"I just told you the truth. If you don't want to hear it, forget it. What else can I do?"

"I see you don't seem to be in pain at all. You're still so energetic! You'd better not move. The wound hasn't healed yet. If you accidentally touch it, it will definitely hurt!" Xiao Chuhan looked at Lan Xi in front of him with a worried face, fearing that she would accidentally touch her injured part again.

"You'd better stop caring about me. I won't be used to it..." Lan Xi's voice became smaller and smaller, almost inaudible.

Xiao Chuhan slowly approached Lan Xi's face, so close that they could hear each other's breathing clearly. Lan Xi felt Xiao Chuhan's breath, and her heartbeat accelerated involuntarily, and her cheeks flushed slightly.

"What are you going to do?" Lan Xi asked nervously.

Xiao Chuhan reached out and gently lifted the hair between Lan Xi's eyebrows and put it behind her ears. Following Lan Xi's gaze, Xiao Chuhan saw the blood-stained clothes on Lan Xi's body and the shocking wound under the clothes. Xiao Chuhan's eyes were full of heartache, as if the wound was on his body.

"Xingye, go call Jiuer over and apply medicine to the queen. By the way, ask Jiuer to prepare a set of clean clothes." Xiao Chuhan ordered in a low voice.

"Yes, sir!" Xingye took the order and left.

After a while, Jiuer came to Lan Xi with the prepared medicine and clean clothes.

"My lady, let's apply the medicine."

"Um... do you feel it's inconvenient to stay here? If so, you can temporarily avoid it." Lan Xi asked cautiously.

Xiao Chuhan looked at Lan Xi in front of him. Although Lan Xi pretended to be calm on the surface, he could still see her inner fear and anxiety from her pale face and slightly trembling lips.

Xiao Chuhan said softly to Jiu'er beside him: "Jiu'er, take good care of the queen. Remember to be gentle when applying medicine to the queen, and don't hurt her."

Jiuer nodded quickly and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty! Jiuer will definitely take good care of the queen!"

Xiao Chuhan stared at Lan Xi, with an indescribable emotion in his eyes. However, this emotion was keenly captured by Lan Xi. In Xiao Chuhan's eyes, Lan Xi actually saw a touch of reluctance. Just as Lan Xi was lost in thought, Xiao Chuhan turned and left, leaving a sentence: "You'er, I will come to visit you later." After Xiao Chuhan left, he went to the court to handle government affairs.

At this moment, only Lan Xi and Jiu Er were left in the Jing Xin Hall. Jiu Er carefully applied the medicine while chatting with Lan Xi to distract her and reduce the pain caused by the medicine.

"Your Majesty, do you know? The Emperor stayed by your side last night and took good care of you the whole night!" Jiuer said softly.

Lan Xi was slightly stunned and asked doubtfully: "Really?"

"Of course it's true!" Jiuer replied firmly, "Besides, the emperor has never been so concerned about other ladies!"

Hearing this, Lan Xi's heart could not help but ripple. She recalled the good times Ye Wuyou and Xiao Chuhan had spent together. They were so sweet and happy at that time. But now... Lan Xi sighed softly, with a self-deprecating smile on her face. She thought to herself: If it was really love, if it was really reluctant, how could Wuyou suffer such torture? Perhaps, it was just because he was unwilling to get something.

At this moment, Lan Xi suddenly remembered Jiu'er's hesitation to speak, so she asked, "Jiu'er, you just said 'just', just what?"

Jiuer hesitated for a moment, and finally mustered up the courage to say, "Your Majesty, in fact, the emperor used to be very good to you. It's just...everything has changed since that incident." At this point, Jiuer's voice became low, and seemed to be filled with endless regret and helplessness.

"My queen, the medicine has been applied. You can rest for a while." Jiuer knew that she had said something wrong, so she stopped immediately and tried to change the subject. However, her little trick did not escape Lan Xi's eyes.

"Jiuer, how come you have learned to change the subject?" Lan Xi's tone was filled with a hint of anger.

"It's just..." Jiu'er hesitated, but seeing Lan Xi's determined eyes, she knew she couldn't escape, so she made up her mind and said, "My queen, do you really not remember anything about the past?"

Lan Xi frowned slightly, thought for a moment and replied: "Well, I don't remember."

Jiuer bit her lip and thought to herself: In this case, why not tell the queen everything I know! After all, even if I don't tell her now, the queen will definitely remember it in the future. If the queen finds out that I have concealed something by then, the consequences will be even more serious.

After some thought, Jiuer decided to confess to Lanxi: "Okay, Madam, since you want to hear it, Jiuer will tell you everything I know. But please rest assured, Madam, Jiuer has no intention of hiding anything."
