Early the next morning, Mo Qinghuan opened her eyes, thinking that she would go to check on Dan'er and Shuang'er after getting up.
However, when she turned over, she saw Mu Yanming still lying beside her. She kicked her legs and asked Mu Yanming, "Why aren't you getting up yet?"
Mu Yanming didn't even open his eyes and said lazily, "It's a rare holiday for this king. Of course, I have to have a good rest."
Mo Qinghuan thought for a while and found it reasonable. Before Mu Yanming had a holiday, he seemed to get up very early every day.
Every time she opened her eyes, he wasn't there. And she didn't see him before going to bed at night.
If it weren't for the signs of his presence, it would be as if he didn't exist at all.
She sat up. "Well, I'm getting up. I'm going to see if the two sisters are feeling better."
Mu Yanming propped his head up with one hand. "You didn't forget that this king is also a patient, did you?"
He raised his eyebrows and looked at Mo Qinghuan. Mo Qinghuan smiled. "Of course I remember. Your Highness has a heart disease."
Mu Yanming reached out and gently flicked her head. "Okay, get up."
He got up first and sat on the edge of the bed to put on his boots. Bai Ke stood outside the door and said loudly, "Your Highness, the imperial physicians from the palace are here. They said that the emperor is considerate and sent them to feel your pulse."
The two looked at each other. Mu Yanming nodded. Mo Qinghuan directly jumped out of bed and ran bare - footed to the medicine chest to get a syringe.
"Injecting too much of this medicine will have side effects!" She had to remind Mu Yanming. Although she could control the dosage well, after all, every medicine has its toxicity.
Mu Yanming nodded. "It's okay. After this injection, he should let down his guard and won't come again."
"Alright." Mu Yanming was only wearing an inner robe at this moment. She gently lifted it, and his arm was exposed.
At the same time, his bronze - colored and firm chest was also exposed. She swallowed hard and started to inject the medicine for him.
Mu Yanming noticed Mo Qinghuan's small action and pursed his lips and smiled faintly.
Not long after the injection, a thin layer of sweat appeared on Mu Yanming's forehead. The stabbing pain in his chest and the feeling of stuffiness like having cotton in it came again.
Mo Qinghuan helped him get dressed and supported him towards the door.
As soon as she opened the door, Bai Ke rushed up.
After seeing Mu Yanming's complexion, he suddenly looked at Mo Qinghuan, as if he understood something.
It turned out that the king's illness was caused by the princess. In that case, the king should have some plan. It was inconvenient for too many people to know, so he didn't even tell him.
He slapped his forehead and scolded himself for being so stupid. He even misunderstood that the princess had harmed the king before.
Thinking about it now, his heart was full of guilt, and his eyes towards Mo Qinghuan were a bit evasive.
"Where are they?"
Mu Yanming looked at the distracted Bai Ke and asked. Bai Ke immediately came to his senses. "They are in the main hall."
Mo Qinghuan supported Mu Yanming towards the pavilion. "Go and invite them here. Let them feel the king's pulse here."
This time, Bai Ke didn't seek Mu Yanming's opinion. After hearing Mo Qinghuan's words, he answered and left.
Seeing Bai Ke's change, Mu Yanming looked at Mo Qinghuan. "Not bad. In such a short time, even the guard this king trusts the most has started to listen to you."
Mo Qinghuan raised her eyebrows and smiled. "This shows that he has a conscience. Also, it shows that he's not that stupid and has found out that I won't harm you."
Just as they were talking, Bai Ke led five imperial physicians over.
As soon as they saw Mu Yanming, the five imperial physicians knelt on the ground in unison to pay their respects.
The leader was Chief Physician Tan. He knelt in the front. "Your Highness, this official has come by the emperor's order to examine Your Highness. I hope Your Highness will recover soon."
"Okay."
Chief Physician Tan carried his medicine chest and stepped forward. Several other imperial physicians followed behind him. Seeing this, Mo Qinghuan quickly adjusted Mu Yanming's sleeves.
After Chief Physician Tan felt Mu Yanming's pulse, his expression became a bit solemn. Bai Ke cooperated very well and stepped forward to grab Chief Physician Tan's collar.
"What exactly is wrong with His Highness? What's with that expression of yours?"
Mo Qinghuan was amused by Bai Ke's exaggerated acting and almost burst out laughing. Fortunately, she pursed her lips and held it back.
"Bai Ke, don't be rude."
Hearing Mu Yanming's words, Bai Ke let go of Chief Physician Tan's clothes and stepped back behind Mu Yanming.
Mu Yanming withdrew his hand. "Chief Physician Tan, just say what you have to say. This king has seen all sorts of things. I'm not so weak that I can't bear the news of my own illness."
Mu Yanming looked up at Mo Qinghuan standing beside him. Mo Qinghuan took out a handkerchief and wiped the fine sweat off Mu Yanming's forehead. "Your Highness, don't worry. You'll surely be fine."
A faint smile curled up on Mu Yanming's lips. He nodded and showed his wrist.
After several imperial physicians took turns feeling his pulse, they looked at each other. Finally, Chief Physician Tan stepped forward and stood in front of Mu Yanming.
He bowed. "Your Highness, after this official and the others felt your pulse, we have unanimously determined that Your Highness is suffering from a very rare illness..."
Mo Qinghuan staggered a few steps and almost fell. She looked at Chief Physician Tan in disbelief, her eyes full of pain.
"What rare illness? Is there a cure for it?"
Bai Ke saw that Mo Qinghuan was acting even more exaggeratedly than him and bit his cheek hard, afraid of breaking character.
Chief Physician Tan and the others had been bowing, so they didn't see their expressions. Otherwise, they would have seen through the act long ago.
"Your Highness, Your Highness's pulse is very weak and powerless, and the heart's beating ability is not very strong either."
Mo Qinghuan shook her head. "Don't tell me these things. I don't understand. You just need to tell me what illness His Highness has and if there is a cure for it."
Chief Physician Tan shook his head regretfully. "Your Highness, it's a heart disease. There is no radical cure for it for the time being. However, after this official goes back, I will definitely order everyone in the Imperial Medical Bureau to look through medical books day and night. We will surely find a way to treat Your Highness."
Mo Qinghuan turned around and hugged Mu Yanming. "Your Highness, you heard that. They said they will surely find a way to treat you. So you don't need to worry. You must keep a good mood."
She sounded as if she was on the verge of tears, but in fact, she was lying on Mu Yanming's shoulder, shaking with laughter.
Mu Yanming cooperated very well and reached out to pat Mo Qinghuan's back. "Okay, stop crying. Since Chief Physician Tan said there will surely be a cure, there will be."
As he said, he looked at Chief Physician Tan. "This king is waiting for good news from you."
Hearing this, Chief Physician Tan wiped the sweat off his forehead. He had just been saying it casually. Not to mention that he couldn't cure it. Even if he could, he didn't dare to!
Everyone knew the relationship between the current emperor and the regent king. If he cured the king, the emperor would surely find a reason to cut off his head.
Thinking like this, he picked up his medicine chest and said he was withdrawing.
Bai Ke went to see the guests off. Mo Qinghuan was holding her stomach in pain from holding back her laughter. As soon as the people left, she immediately covered her stomach and laughed.
"Was it fun?" Mu Yanming looked at her with a slight smile on his lips.
She was still laughing. When she saw Mu Yanming looking at her, she immediately covered her mouth.
"I wasn't playing. Didn't you say that we have to act like a loving couple in front of others? When the husband is ill, of course the wife should be worried and shed tears."
As she said, she turned her head and laughed again.
Mu Yanming repeated in a low voice, "Husband, wife..."
