Throughout the ages, the number of concubines who died from being drugged was not small. He didn't want to be one of them.
Seeing that he seemed to have understood, Su Wan'er didn't say anything more. She just told Qingcao to serve the dishes. Then she turned to Si Junlin and asked, "Do you want to eat in bed or...?"
"I'll eat at the dining table." Si Junlin didn't think that just because he was poisoned by a gu worm, he was so weak that he couldn't even get out of bed.
Moreover, this was Su Wan'er's body, who had practiced martial arts since childhood. With such a body, he thought that even if seriously injured, one could still walk hundreds of miles.
Su Wan'er frowned and looked at him. "Are you sure?" She was still a bit worried about Si Junlin's body. After all, this was her own body.
"I'm sure." Si Junlin said firmly.
He had never shown such a gesture to a woman before. Su Wan'er was the only one.
Su Wan'er thought for a while. She felt that her body shouldn't be so fragile, so she decided to let Si Junlin try to get out of bed by himself.
Of course, when Si Junlin got out of bed, Su Wan'er still gave him a hand to prevent him from really falling to the ground. If he got injured again, it would be a great loss.
The concern on Su Wan'er's face was clear. It was pure and purpose - free concern, which softened Si Junlin's heart. It was like his heart had turned into a pool of spring water, willing to take any shape for Su Wan'er.
Si Junlin leaned on Su Wan'er and sniffed the smell on her body that belonged to him. He just wanted the distance between them to be closer, closer...
Su Wan'er personally helped Si Junlin to his seat and ordered the palace servants to serve the dishes.
This was the first time they had the palace servants serve the dishes after their souls were exchanged. Firstly, they didn't want the palace servants who were familiar with them to notice something strange. Secondly, they wanted some quietness.
However, this was a critical moment. If something happened to Si Junlin's body, with so many people around, he could be treated in time.
Because Si Junlin was poisoned by the gu worm, all the dishes were light. The most important one was the soup pot in the middle of the dining table.
Inside was the medicinal soup prescribed by the imperial physician for Si Junlin to nourish his body. It could expel the remaining poison in his body, strengthen his body, and it wasn't as bitter and hard to swallow as pure medicinal soup. It was truly a multi - purpose remedy.
Of course, Su Wan'er also had some of this good medicinal soup. Compared with her body occupied by Si Junlin, her current thin body needed more nourishment.
After Qingcao served the medicinal soup for both of them, she stood at a distance.
All the palace servants present knew that the emperor and the queen didn't like to be served while dining. They were very self - conscious for the sake of their masters.
Su Wan'er said to Si Junlin, "Let's eat." Then she started eating on her own.
But Si Junlin didn't move. Su Wan'er looked at him in surprise and asked, "What's wrong?"
"I have no strength." Si Junlin admitted that he was being a bit of a scoundrel. Although it was a bit embarrassing for an emperor to act like this, he had switched bodies. In the eyes of others, he was just the queen. Except for the woman in front of him, others only saw the queen acting coquettishly. He believed that Su Wan'er wouldn't tell others about their soul - swapping.
Seeing Si Junlin looking so weak, Su Wan'er could only sneer disdainfully in her heart. Although she knew he was being a scoundrel, she still had to do as he wished.
She didn't know his thoughts. If she did, she would only give a cold laugh. He was right. She really didn't dare to announce the news of their soul - swapping.
However, although she couldn't announce the news of their soul - swapping, it was okay to take a little revenge while feeding him.
So, every time Si Junlin wanted to eat, he had to spend a great deal of effort.
Si Junlin always felt that Su Wan'er was taking revenge on him...
Of course, Su Wan'er was taking revenge on him. But would he dare to say so?
He didn't dare.
After the meal, Si Junlin's mouth was so sore from opening it all the time, and Su Wan'er finally felt calm.
Because there were too many palace servants present, Si Junlin couldn't and didn't dare to lose his temper. He could only secretly warn Su Wan'er with his eyes. He remembered this. Su Wan'er had better not give him a handle, otherwise, he would definitely take good revenge.
Although he was the emperor, it didn't stop him from being petty. Even if it was towards a woman, he admitted it.
Su Wan'er turned her head away indifferently and said to the person at the door, "Bring in the memorials I selected. From today on, I'll review the memorials in the queen's palace every night."
Fang Xi answered and led a group of little eunuchs to carry in the memorials. They put them on the desk, then bowed to Su Wan'er and Si Junlin again before hurriedly retreating with the little eunuchs.
Si Junlin asked in confusion, "Didn't you say you could handle these memorials?"
Su Wan'er shrugged. "I know you don't trust me. I'll let you take a look at these important memorials. If you think it's okay, then we can send them out."
If it weren't for dispelling his doubts, Su Wan'er wouldn't have worked so hard to review the memorials and then have them brought here.
Si Junlin coughed lightly. He didn't expect that she would go this far for him. After calming himself down a bit, he said to Su Wan'er, "Thank you."
Su Wan'er sneered disdainfully. "I don't remember who said before that we're husband and wife, so we don't need to say such polite words as thank you."
Si Junlin was stunned for a moment, then he laughed. "I didn't expect the emperor to remember what I said so clearly. This concubine is really flattered."
To be honest, he really didn't think that Su Wan'er would remember these words. That's why he showed a surprised look when Su Wan'er said this.
However, his mood after the surprise was extremely wonderful. Since Su Wan'er remembered his words, did it mean that he also had a place in Su Wan'er's heart?
Su Wan'er sneered. "I just thought of it by chance. I won't remember your words. It's just a coincidence."
Si Junlin looked at her stubborn look and couldn't help laughing. All his worries and annoyances disappeared at this moment.
"Yes, it's just a coincidence." Seeing Su Wan'er glaring at him, he had to put away his smile and go along with what she said.
"Of course it is." Su Wan'er snorted. To avoid facing Si Junlin's seemingly penetrating eyes, Su Wan'er took out a memorial from the desk and put it in front of Si Junlin. "Stop laughing. Take a look at this memorial."
