sick man

Lee Seung-yeon is sick.

After returning from Zhenyuan General's Mansion, he was bedridden.

"Your Majesty is in his prime, and he is in good health, but he is mourning too much. He needs to rest for a while, and his diet should be light."

The imperial physician asked for Li Chengyan's pulse, and respectfully reported his illness to him.

Li Chengyan looked depressed, and waved him back impatiently.

The imperial physician left in fear, Yuan Xi sent him to the door, and then came back to wait on Li Chengyan.

"Is there anything you want to eat, Your Majesty? The servant asked the imperial dining room to serve you..."

Yuan Xi hooked his body and softly asked the person who was staring at the top of the bed in a daze.

Li Chengyan didn't listen to him at all, raised his hand and waved it casually a few times, pushing Yuan Xi away as well.

When night fell, Yuan Xi came back again, followed by a court lady holding a tray, who knelt by Li Chengyan's bed and invited him to eat.

"Your Majesty, you haven't eaten for a day, at least use some..."

Li Chengyan glanced at him with displeasure, Yuan Xi didn't dare to say anything more, immediately bent his back, put his forehead on the ground, and repeatedly called His Majesty to appease his anger.

"What are you carrying?"

Li Chengyan looked away wearily, glanced at the court lady named Cuizhen behind Yuan Xi from the corner of his eye, and asked without interest.

Thinking about it, it was also some bitter and unpalatable medicinal food.

"Return to Your Majesty, this servant is serving tremella soup with coconut milk." There was a trace of nervousness in Cuizhen's voice.

"Coconut Milk Tremella Soup..."

Li Chengyan was stunned for a moment, then suddenly shouted eagerly,

"Bring it here!"

"Yes."

As soon as the tray with the soup cup was delivered to him, Li Chengyan couldn't wait to lift the lid of the cup, and a sweet aroma of coconut milk filled the air instantly.The continuously escaping hot air made Li Chengyan's eyes a little red.

He picked up the golden spoon next to the soup pot, took a little juice, and delivered it to his mouth carefully and expectantly.

This tastes... the same... this tastes exactly the same as what he made...

"The emperor didn't eat anything today, do you want to see the imperial physician?"

One day many years ago, he was the same as today, sick and lying on the bed, so sleepy that he didn't want to eat anything.At that time, Su Hongrui was still in good condition. They had just married and they treated each other with rare respect.

"I'm not hungry, I don't want to eat anything."

He shook his head impatiently, feeling bad because of his physical discomfort.

"Perhaps your Majesty is tired of eating delicacies from mountains and seas. When I was stationed in the South China Sea, I liked a local snack very much, and I specially learned it from the cook. How about asking Your Majesty to try something new today?"

Su Hongrui didn't mind his unreasonable anger, but thoughtfully made him happy.

"Then try it."

He replied dispensably, not because he really wanted to eat, but because he didn't want to offend Su Hongrui.

"what is this?"

When Su Hongrui brought a bowl of translucent and fragrant sweet soup garnished with white fungus, his curiosity was really aroused.

"Coconut Milk Tremella Soup."

As Su Hongrui said, he scooped up a spoonful and fed it into his mouth.

"Is it all right, Your Majesty?"

Seeing that he had swallowed, Su Hongrui asked expectantly.

He frowned pretending to be inadvertent, and hummed noncommittally.

Actually he likes it.

After so many years, he finally figured it out, but no one has anything to say.

"Is it okay, Your Majesty?" Cuizhen asked anxiously, her hand holding the tray trembling slightly.

"Who taught you this dish?"

The same question as back then, Li Chengyan knew that he would not answer wrong again.He looked at Cuizhen full of expectation, he was extremely eager to find something related to Su Hongrui, even a little bit.

"Your Majesty, this dish was taught to the servants by the sister Huifang." Cuizhen replied hesitantly.

"Mother Huifang... Yuan Xi, go and call her!" Li Chengyan urged.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, forgive me!"

Just as Yuan Xi was ordered to go, Cuizhen's panicked voice intercepted her.

"What are you guilty of?" Li Chengyan looked at the shivering woman lying on the ground in puzzlement.

"Mother Huifang...she died of illness the year before last."

"do you died?"

Li Chengyan smiled, and there was a sense of sadness in his heart.

Did he break the connection he had managed so hard to get?

"However... when the nanny passed away, she gave the servant a cookbook, saying that it recorded what His Majesty liked to eat. The servant saw that His Majesty didn't want to eat and drink recently, and it was even worse today, so I boldly chose one of the dishes, and invited Your Majesty forgive me!"

Seeing the sudden change in Li Chengyan's expression, Cuizhen was terrified and had no choice but to tell the truth about the twists and turns.

"menu?"

As soon as Li Chengyan's words fell to the ground, Yuanxi took Cuizhen to get the recipe in her mouth.

"Please take a look, Your Majesty."

Yuan Xi came back in a moment, holding a booklet with a dark blue cover in both hands, and presented it to Li Chengyan.

Li Chengyan took it steadily, and when he saw the cover, his expression changed again.

Gently stroking the silhouette of a swan goose flying high on the corner of the cover with his fingers, Li Chengyan's eyes filled with infinite nostalgia.

"It's his, he wrote it..."

He carefully picked up the corner of the book and flipped through it. Every time he read a page, those long-lost but familiar correct fonts became more and more blurred.

During those years blinded by hatred, he didn't know that he was so deeply loved by this person.I love him so much that he slightly hooked the corners of his mouth and frowned slightly, that person could read the deep meaning.

He was wrong.

Long, long ago, he felt he was wrong.

But that person couldn't even find his body, so what qualifications do I have, and what should I use to honor him?

Hot tears dripped onto the cover he hastily closed, splashing into irregular circles. Li Chengyan, who never allowed himself to show his weak side, cried like a confused and helpless child.

Can't think any more.

After thinking about it, he didn't know how to face tomorrow.

"...The body is weak, the fetal gas is moving, and you have to run around all the way, so you need to take care of yourself..."

"If... is it dangerous?"

"Forgive Chen for speaking bluntly, given Young Master Fang's current situation, it is very dangerous to think about..."

"The doctor may have come up with a perfect solution to save his life..."

"This... I'm afraid it's a little..."

Fang Yanqing felt weak all over, and her abdomen throbbed from time to time. She just wanted to sleep well.Helplessly, the high and low voices of the conversation came intermittently, which made him unable to sleep peacefully.Two familiar voices mentioned his name occasionally, and he listened curiously, but he couldn't hear every key point clearly.But from the heavy tone of the two, it can be seen that it is definitely not a relaxed and happy thing.

"Wow!"

There was a sudden sharp cramping pain in the abdomen, Fang Yanqing clutched her stomach, and woke up from the pain.

"Master Fang, are you awake?"

A fuzzy figure appeared in front of his eyes, and gradually became clearer as his mind became clearer.The visitor was in his 60s, with kind eyes and a long snow-white beard hanging from his lips, giving him a bit of a fairy air.

"Doctor Chen."

Fang Yanqing blinked, and then sat on the edge of the bed with Chen Zhi's help.The abdominal pain was slightly relieved by this position.

Before Chen Zhi asked about his condition, Fang Yanqing held his hand first and asked eagerly,

"Doctor Chen, it's all my fault, Master Taishan didn't make things difficult for you..."

Chen Zhi's expression changed instantly, and it was too late to stop him.

"Hmph, it's hard to protect yourself, do you still have time to care about others?"

Wei Chengfeng's angry voice came from the window-side of the room, Fang Yanqing's face turned pale with shock, and she was at a loss for what to do while pinching Chen Zhi's hand.

"If... is it dangerous?"

"Forgive Chen for speaking bluntly, given Young Master Fang's current situation, it is very dangerous to think about..."

"The doctor may have come up with a perfect solution to save his life..."

"This... I'm afraid it's a little..."

The intermittent conversation that he had just heard suddenly flashed in his mind, and Fang Yanqing felt that he had found the missing key part.

He watched Wei Chengfeng walking towards him with a bowl in horror, and involuntarily shrank into the corner of the bed slowly,
