The dormitory has a large area and luxurious yet understated decoration, which is the most beloved Rococo and Renaissance style of the royal family: the dazzling crystal chandelier makes the entire room appear bright and luxurious; There are several exquisite landscape paintings and portraits hanging on the wall, avoiding the room from appearing empty due to its large size; Exquisite metal crafts are arranged in a staggered manner, bringing a warm feeling to the room along with beige curtains. There are several vibrant green potted plants in the corner, which shows that the owner of the room pays great attention to details.
However, the strong smell of medicine wafting in the air and the tightly covered windows still indicate the unfavorable physical condition of the country's hostess at this time.
Seeing Xie Yunqi's stiff posture like a wooden figure, Xiaoyao looked at him anxiously before closing the door and quietly turning around to leave.
The four people in the bedroom stopped talking and turned to look at Xie Yunqi who had entered the room.
Xie Yunqi's gaze involuntarily shifted to the woman on the bed.
Although she looked very thin and frail, with an extremely pale complexion and lips in an ominous light purple, this did not diminish her unique charm and elegant temperament. It was like the gentle and easy-going spring rain, moistening everything silently, and like a silent blooming lotus with a thousand petals, flowing with poetry and painting.
She didn't look like her own mother, but Xie Yunqi still felt her fingers involuntarily twitch, and a fine pain like a needle prick came from deep in her heart: Is this her... mother in this life? She is so beautiful, but she is too thin. I need to make more delicious meals for her and adjust her body. In my previous life, when I was very young, my mother died in a car accident. I had to reminisce with my grandfather through photos about the two people who gave me life but left me early. Now that I have the right to have my own parents again in this life, I cannot let go anymore.
The weak woman was stunned when she saw Xie Yunqi, as if she had never expected that her little son, who had not appeared in front of anyone since knowing that the things she had sent had worsened her mother's condition, would come to see her. However, this shock turned into tenderness and anticipation. She also missed her child very much. Although her little son was not her biological child, even raising a little cat and dog for a few years could cultivate emotions, let alone a kind-hearted child.
A gentle smile escaped from her lips, unlike the cheap prince's skin and flesh smile, which concealed a knife and made her hair stand on end when she smiled. Her smile reminded people of the light moonlight, gentle and tolerant, like a big hand, gently smoothing out the wrinkles in her heart, emptying all negative emotions in her heart, and making people relax instantly.
She slowly raised her hand and shook it at Xie Yunqi, saying, "Xiaoqi, why are you standing at the door not talking? Come over quickly." The brightly colored and transparent red jade bracelet in her hand slid down her thin arm to her elbow. "Let Mom take a look. Your sister said you haven't eaten on time recently. How can this be done? Your body won't be able to handle it
Xie Yunqi's eyes suddenly turned red. He turned his head to prevent others from seeing the tears in his eyes. After a long time, he sniffled and turned his head and said, "I know, I will have a good meal in the future... Mom. I cooked nutritious seafood Congee. Would you like to have some?"
The young man standing in the corner of the room heard the boy, who had always used unfamiliar terms such as "mother" and "father", utter the word "mother". His eyelashes trembled, and a mysterious smile curved his lips.
When the woman heard this nickname, she was also surprised for a moment, thinking that her youngest son was acting coquettishly with her. She smiled and nodded with some heartache, saying, "Xiaoqi has lost weight these days, and there is no flesh on her face. Are you worried about her mother? Mom is fine, she just looks weak, but her health has improved. Don't listen to other people talking nonsense. If there is anything wrong, just tell your father or siblings directly, and they will solve it for you. If Xiaoshu bullies you again, you can tell Mom, and Mom will beat him up for you
The "little pivot" in the woman's mouth raised her eyebrows, with a gentle smile on her lips. Taking a few steps forward, she gently rested her hand on Xie Yunqi's shoulder, and the heat from her close breath could be sprayed onto his face.
What are you doing? "Xie Yunqi's first impression of this guy who only knows how to intimidate himself was not good. He broke away from his hand, took a few steps back, and put his empty hand on his chest to guard against it.
A dark light flashed in "Xiao Shu"'s eyes, which was fleeting. He smiled and said, "I was surprised to cook nutritious Congee for my mother. My brother is really amazing. But what's in your Congee, and will it have any adverse effect on my mother's health? Well, I'm not the one who inquires about everything. I just ask casually. You have the right to choose to say or not to say."
Although he said it, the young man staring at Xie Yunqi gave the impression that if Xie Yunqi didn't explain it clearly, he would tear her apart like a torn apart man
Besides, Xie Yunqi thinks it's a good thing that his younger brother is stricter about food. After all, his mother's identity in this life is there, and she is a woman who can decide the direction of many things in this country. There should be many people who want to assassinate her, no matter how strict it is.
I put sea cucumber, shrimp, and green fish inside... "He chattered out all the ingredients and mentioned their respective amounts. He also mentioned that he cooked under the watchful eyes of everyone in the kitchen and that Xiaoyao was always by his side when he came, indirectly indicating that he would never have any bad intentions, let alone do anything to poison.
The emperor frowned disapprovingly and said, "Yunqi, as you can see, your mother's body is very weak now and she can't handle these fishy things. Please take out what you made. The imperial doctor said that your mother's condition needs to be treated with hunger therapy to suppress the toxins in her body. After three courses of treatment, the virus can be starved to death
Upon hearing such irresponsible and foolish nonsense, Xie Yunqi was stunned at first, then a nameless fire rose in his heart and shouted, "I won't harm my mother! What kind of hunger therapy? This therapy with no scientific basis will kill many patients who should have survived. First, hunger therapy, and then should we bleed my mother? Are you afraid that she won't die? Also, as I was about to say earlier, the room is so stuffy, why not let the maid open the window for ventilation? Only by timely driving away the polluted air in the room, allowing fresh air outside to come in and take away the bacteria, can my mother's situation get better and better! Now that she is locked up alone in this dark room. Inside, there won't be any sunlight, even if you're not sick, you'll still get sick
Seeing those people silently staring at her, Xie Yunqi trembled and choked her neck, saying, "Mom, she must eat something to replenish energy and enhance her immune system, instead of trying to eat less or nothing to starve the virus to death. You don't let Mom eat meat, but the virus in her body is constantly eating her meat! Your actions will harm her
The room fell silent for a moment.
The thin and frail woman nodded, admiring the child who seemed to have quietly grown up overnight, propping her hands on the bed to sit up. Xie Yunqi quickly ran over to help her up and placed a cushion behind her, letting her lean on the soft cushion.
After all this turmoil, the woman's face became even paler and her lips seemed to have changed from light purple to blue purple. She took a quick breath and waited until she was slightly better before speaking to the emperor, "Xiao Qi is right. I just should eat more so that I can have the strength to fight the virus. You just believe too much in what those imperial doctors say, treating them like imperial edicts. The imperial doctors have also split into different groups and given different treatment plans. How can you be sure if the plans they propose are true or false? Is there a shadow of the federation behind them
The emperor's face was full of anger: "They have shown the royal family so many years of illness, how could they possibly say anything false? Does this benefit them? You are just spoiling him too much, and sooner or later you will risk your life for him." Remembering what the empress just said, the emperor hesitated for a moment: "I will send someone to investigate their backgrounds again. If there are really imperial doctors who do not treat you seriously and try to drag you to death, I will definitely not spare them
"So I'd better listen to Xiao Qi and let me have some Congee. I'm really hungry, and I could have continued to bear it, but the smell of the smell that seems to be drilling into my nostrils with my own consciousness really arouses people's appetite." The Queen said as she coughed.
The emperor hesitated for a moment and firmly refused, saying, "No, if you want your illness to really get better, you must follow the doctor's advice. This is what doctors do, and what they say is wrong. Is Yun Qi right? If something really happens, who will take responsibility? It will be too late to say anything by then
If I'm afraid of taking responsibility, I just need to stay behind and do nothing! This way, no matter what happens, no one has a reason to blame me, "Xie Yunqi said angrily." Are you really doing it for your mother or hoping for her death? I don't understand what you're thinking, why can't you understand such a simple truth, but I just want to say: those doctors are about to starve my mother to death
"Whether Xiao Qi is right or not, even if I die now, I would also like to be a full ghost rather than die of starvation with a twisted and ferocious face. How will history record that? The empress of the empire was starved to death in her room because she believed in the hunger therapy of the imperial doctor? That's not the biggest nonsense." The empress who wanted to drink a mouthful of seafood Congee said to him, "If you are afraid of an accident, you should hurry out of my room. I am angry when I see you, and when I am angry, my head hurts. I think I will be angry if I haven't starved to death."
