Crossing the World: This Prince is a Little Sweet

Chapter 139 Taking the Emperor's Pulse

"Mom, I don't plan to get married."

"What nonsense! If you don't get married, are you planning to be alone for the rest of your life?"

"Mom, I want to spend more time with you and Dad."

"The palace is so close, just come back home often when you have time."

"Mom, let's talk about this later."

"Okay, think about it slowly."

Seeing Chu Xi like this, Mrs. Chu didn't say much and just patted her hand lightly.

"It's getting late. Xi'er, go back and rest. I'll have someone deliver these boxes to your yard."

"Okay, Mom, you should rest early too."

Chu Xi bowed respectfully to Madam Chu and left.

Mrs. Chu looked at Chu Xi's departing back and couldn't help but sigh.

Ever since her daughter lost her memory, she has been averse to the idea of ​​getting married.

"Aunt Liu, call a few people to carry these boxes to the young lady's yard."

"Yes, ma'am."

When Chu Xi came out of the bath, he saw thirty boxes neatly placed in the side room where medicine was made.

Chu Xi put the thirty boxes back into the Fire Cloud Bracelet while no one was around, then lay down in bed and planned to have a good sleep.

Now that she doesn't have to worry about money, she's thinking about finding a quiet place to settle down, away from Kyoto.

Chu Xi had just laid down when another person appeared beside him. Smelling the familiar scent of ambergris, Chu Xi opened his eyes helplessly:

"Your Majesty?"

"Xi'er, I miss you so much."

Yan Jingshuo lay down in the bed without a care in the world, put his arms around Chu Xi, buried his face in her neck, and smelled her unique fragrance.

"Xi'er is so cruel. You just want to abandon me. I haven't done anything wrong. I have been abiding by the conditions you mentioned before. Xi'er... please don't abandon me."

Yan Jingshuo said this with a choked tone and a hint of begging.

"Your Highness, you are very good. It is Chu Xi who is narrow-minded and unworthy of you."

Chu Xi tried hard to break free from him.

"I'm fine? I'm fine, why doesn't Xi'er want me?"

Yan Jingshuo held Chu Xi with both hands and held her tightly in his arms. When he saw the breakup letter Chu Xi wrote to him, his heart was really broken.

Originally, the successful detoxification was something to be happy about, but she said she didn't want him anymore, so what should he do in the future?

"My Lord, please let me go first, we have something to talk about..."

Chu Xi was hugged too tightly by Yan Jingshuo and felt a little breathless.

"No, I don't want to let go for the rest of my life."

Yan Jingshuo's eyes were red. He asked for nothing in his life. He just wanted to stay by Chu Xi's side and accompany her forever.

I never thought that even Chu Xi would... push him away.

"Your Majesty, are you trying to suffocate me? I can't breathe..."

Chu Xi's face turned red, she couldn't move, her beautiful eyes stared at Yan Jingshuo angrily.

"Xi'er, I...I didn't mean it, I was just too scared..."

Yan Jingshuo let go of Chu Xi helplessly, a trace of anxiety flashed across his face. He really didn't mean to hurt his girl.

"Okay, I know. Your Majesty, don't blame yourself too much..."

Chu Xi sat up and comforted him, knowing that he was just too emotional.

"Xi'er, can we not separate?"

Yan Jingshuo also sat up, his moist eyes staring at Chu Xi, his androgynous face looked a little broken, giving people a shaky feeling.

Seeing Yan Jingshuo like this made Chu Xi's heart tremble. In the end, she could only turn her face away with difficulty and stop looking at him.

"Your Majesty, we are not suitable..."

Chu Xi has made up her mind. She has made a great determination and must not be soft-hearted for a moment.

"Your Majesty, we..."

Before Chu Xi could say anything else, Yan Jingshuo pulled her up from the bed, picked up her clothes and skillfully put them on her.

"My Lord, what are you doing?"

Chu Xi looked at Yan Jingshuo in confusion as he was putting clothes on her without saying a word.

"Xi'er, let's talk about our business later. Now, help me save someone..."

"Rescue?"

Yan Jingshuo glanced at Chu Xi, who was already dressed, and thought there was no problem, so he took her hand and walked out.

Inside the carriage, neither of them said a word. Yan Jingshuo just held Chu Xi in his arms without saying a word. The atmosphere was eerily quiet.

"Your Majesty...well..."

As soon as Chu Xi spoke, Yan Jingshuo kissed her lips, not giving her a chance to make a sound, and only let go when Chu Xi was almost suffocated.

"Xi'er, don't talk, I'm tired and don't want to listen..."

Yan Jingshuo put his head on her shoulder and pretended to close his eyes and rest.

Chu Xi noticed that Yan Jingshuo's eyes were wet and knew that she had made him cry.

In fact, she felt bad too, and she didn't want to leave him.

But a short pain is worse than a long one. After a long time, he might be able to forget the feelings between them.

It is impossible for a prince who is so high and mighty to stay with her alone for his entire life.

Chu Xi couldn't calmly share a man with others. She was not a saint, not that great.

Chu Xi was dragged into the palace by Yan Jingshuo in a daze. Looking at the man sleeping on the bed, his eyebrows and eyes were somewhat similar to Yan Jingshuo.

A eunuch dressed in eunuch's clothes, holding a whisk in his hand, was waiting by the bed with a submissive look on his face.

Is this person the father-in-law?

Isn’t the person on that couch... the emperor?

Chu Xi was puzzled. What were they doing here?

There are so many capable people in the palace, why do they need to ask her, a rookie, to treat the emperor?

"Your Majesty..."

Chu Xi moved her hand, which was tightly held by Yan Jingshuo, and cried out nervously.

"Xi'er, don't be nervous, help me check his illness."

Yan Jingshuo looked at Chu Xi tenderly. He noticed when Chu Xi got off the carriage that she was reluctant to go to the palace and even wanted to go back. He didn't understand what was wrong with her.

"Isn't there an imperial physician?"

Chu Xi whispered to Yan Jingshuo in confusion.

"Xi'er, I trust your diagnosis more than the imperial physician."

"Okay, I'll go take a look..."

Chu Xi responded reluctantly, let go of Yan Jingshuo's hand, walked to the couch, and took the emperor's pulse.

After Chu Xi took the pulse, he lifted the emperor's eyelids and took a look. He also lifted up his hand to examine it carefully. It looked like he was taking advantage of him.

Eunuch Fu, who was standing nearby, was terrified and kept wiping the non-existent sweat from his forehead.

I secretly complained in my heart: This girl brought by the prince is so bold. This is an offense to the dragon body. It is a great disrespect to the dragon body. She shall be beheaded.

"Your Majesty, this man is poisoned."

Chu Xi looked at it carefully and finally came to a conclusion.

She had just asked the Fire Cloud Bracelet whether it was poisoned, and the Fire Cloud Bracelet gave a positive answer.

"Poisoned?"

Eunuch Fu was shocked and looked at Chu Xi in surprise.

"Yes, poisoned."

Chu Xi affirmed, then quickly walked back to Yan Jingshuo's side.

"But didn't the imperial physician say that it was caused by overwork and depression? How could it be poisoning?"

"From the disordered pulse, it seems that he is indeed overworked. But I just checked his eyes and found that they are bloodshot and there is a faint black line on his hand. These are not caused by fatigue, but poisoning."

"Your Majesty's food has been specially tested, how could it be poisoned?"

"This is the cleverness of poisoning. This poison is chronic. It may be okay to eat a little bit every day, but it will be different if it accumulates over time. When the toxin accumulates to a certain amount in the body, it can kill people."

"I see."

"This kind of poison is usually put into the soup, in small amounts and multiple times, so it is difficult to detect. Even a silver needle cannot detect it..."

Eunuch Fu was shocked. This girl is really amazing. Your Majesty loves to drink soup. Even if he doesn't eat much, he will drink soup to warm his stomach. Unexpectedly, it gave the thieves an opportunity to take advantage of it.
