Chapter 3 The Sick Gray Cat

The sea wind was strong, and Yue Wujiu fell ill on the tenth day of sailing.

He had lived in the imperial city since he was a child and had never been to sea for a long time. His head felt dizzy. In addition, he suffered such a catastrophe, his family was destroyed, and the favored son of heaven fell into the clouds overnight. His whole person was depressed and confused.

Then he became ill.

Thanks to Emperor Yun's forethought and consideration of his old friendship, he arranged for a "family member" to accompany him to the island and take care of him closely along the way.

This job really needs Shi Xuanling to do it. Shi Xuanqin is used to being pampered and has no medical skills. He is afraid that if it really comes, he will only be able to throw up with Yue Wujiu.

Shi Xuanling did not dislike Yue Wujiu and took care of him day and night. He did not feel how hard it was to be bumpy on the sea. Instead, he hummed a little tune and ran up and down the boat every day, looking in a good mood.

Yue Wujiu often lay weakly on the bed, looking at Shi Xuanling who was excited and busy, and thinking with great confusion——

Does she like me that much?

Incredible, really incredible.

He wanted to ask Shi Xuanling several times, but he couldn't.

The young man was sensitive and had an indescribable awkwardness, which made him not know how to face Shi Xuanling for a long time.

In particular, her face is somewhat similar to Shi Xuanqin's. Although her temperament is very different, there are still a few times when she wanders in front of him every day, which inevitably reminds him of the painful past of being broken off and being ruthlessly abandoned.

What's more, she is...from the Shi family.

The Shi family had been supported by the Yue clan along the way and received all kinds of favors. They were promoted step by step in the court and were proud of their success. The daughter of the Shi family also treated him tenderly and sweetly, promising him a sweet dream that would last forever.

But when he woke up from the dream, the bronze mirror was broken. He stood up in embarrassment, raised his eyes and looked around, and then he realized -

Everything is false.

Like his emperor uncle, he also hated deception and betrayal most in his life.

"You know what? I really hate...you Shi family people."

After walking on the sea for more than half a month, Yue Wujiu finally spoke in a low voice, but the first sentence was so harsh that he regretted it only after he said it.

Even though he was full of unwillingness and resentment, he should not be facing Shi Xuanling, the girl who followed him without regrets and took care of him day and night.

Unexpectedly, Shi Xuanling, who was feeding him the medicine, nodded, smiled nonchalantly at Yue Wujiu and said, "You're right, the Shi family is really annoying. Fortunately, I left that damn place."

.”

Yue Wujiu was stunned.

The girl in front of her smiled brighter and brighter, and her shallow pupils looked dreamlike and extremely clear under the sunlight outside the window.

Her voice was as clear and sweet as the bell she wore on her hand, and every word rang out briskly in the room:

"Your Majesty, you don't need to think of me as belonging to the Shi family. I didn't go back to the Shi family until I was nine years old and did a set of so-called 'recognition of ancestors and return to the clan' ceremony. But in fact, I have lived with my mother in Qingli since I was a child.

In the mountains, we are the butterfly tribe, and in my heart, that is my home."

Although her mother had told her that after returning to the imperial city, she should never mention her life experience in front of others. She should only treat herself as an ordinary young lady from a noble family, forget about Qingli Mountain and the Butterfly Clan, and she must keep her mouth shut to anyone.

But facing Yue Wujiu, Shi Xuanling somehow managed to tell her life story like this.

After all, over the years, she had been deliberately erased of her identity, hometown, and connection with the Butterfly Clan. Her father only announced to the outside world that she was a daughter raised outside by the Shi family in the early years.

Her mother became an unidentified "outer wife", and she also became a rootless person who couldn't find anyone to talk to. After holding on for many years, she finally met Yue Wujiu, and she didn't want to lie to him.

After all, she is now his "family member", and they are considered a family, so she doesn't count as "leaking" to the outside world, right?

As soon as he talked about his hometown and the interesting stories of his childhood in the Butterfly Clan, Shi Xuanling opened up a chatterbox, talking about spring, autumn, winter and summer, from heaven to earth, in a vivid and vivid way. The more he listened, the more Wu Jiu became fascinated without realizing it.

The girl smiled smartly and took the opportunity to lift the spoon, signaling Yue Wu Jiu to open his mouth. He was obedient and swallowed a spoonful of medicine without noticing.

"Your Majesty, my clan members all call me 'Little Lingdang'. You can also call me that. You don't have to call me 'Miss Shi San'. I finally left the Shi family and got rid of this boring title. Can you

Don't remind me of it again."

The girl's eyes were sparkling, and Wujiu's heart started to beat again when he saw it. He turned his head, but he couldn't say the affectionate "little bell", so he could only respond vaguely: "I'll call you 'Xuanling'"

alright."

"It's okay, as long as you are happy, Your Majesty."

The girl agreed with all her heart. She had been obedient to him from the moment she boarded the ship until now. Yue Wujiu couldn't help but wanted to ask that question——

"Why on earth...do you like me so much?"

But when the words came to his lips, they eventually turned into: "In the past, at home, my parents called me Ayue, but now my mother is imprisoned, and my father..."

This was the wound that Yue Wu Jiu could not talk about the most. Whenever he thought of his father's tragic end of being cut into pieces by a thousand cuts, he would be heartbroken and miserable.

Sure enough, the young man had a nightmare that night. He curled up on the bed and shouted "Dad" and "Mother". This movement naturally woke up Shi Xuanling.

In order to take care of Yue Wujiu more conveniently, she slept in the same room with him, separated by a screen.

Now hearing the boy's painful cry in his dream, Shi Xuanling hurriedly walked around the screen to take a look. It didn't matter. She suddenly widened her eyes. Good guy, that little gray cat appeared again——

This time he was still crying, but it was different from Leng Ao Gujue last time. This time the little gray cat was sick and huddled up, looking even more pitiful.

Shi Xuanling didn't have time to think too much, she touched Yue Wujiu's bed with her bare feet and hugged him into her arms.

She leaned over and put it on his forehead, and found that he had a severe fever, so she quickly gave him a homemade pill. After a while, the boy's fever subsided a little, and Shi Xuanling took out another nectar candy from his arms, thinking

After thinking for a while, he finally inserted it gently into the boy's mouth.

His dream was too bitter tonight, so bitter... She wanted to let him taste a hint of sweetness, even if he could only taste a hint of sweetness.

In fact, ever since the nectar candy she made was disliked by everyone in the Shi family when she was a child, she no longer shares this special sweetness with others. Tonight's Yue Wujiu is an exception.

Shi Xuanling only hoped that the prince, who once had rich clothes and fine food, and tasted delicious food from all over the world, would not be like the Shi family members in the past... who disliked the candies she gave her.

Fortunately, Yue Wujiu actually gave him a lot of face. He ate some candy in his groggy state and felt soothed. His whole mood calmed down a lot.

Shi Xuanling secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but not long after, Yue Wujiu began to sweat all over his body again, and his emotions became intense. He talked incoherently in her arms: "Mom, mom, where are you? It's so dark... How could dad do this?"

Conspiracy, I don’t believe it, I never believe it…”

Shi Xuanling knew that the prince was suffering from hysteria due to the severe shock, so she quickly held down his erratic hands and feet and hugged him tighter.

The moonlight was shining outside the window and the sea breeze was howling. Shi Xuanling imitated the way her mother had coaxed her when she was a child. She hugged Yue Wujiu and comforted her softly: "Ah Yue, be good. Mother is here. Don't be afraid. Mother is with you."

, Ah Yue, be good and you will get better soon..."

She coaxed and coaxed, but suddenly felt that she was not too authentic to take advantage of others, so she quickly added: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I will only be your mother for one night, don't mind."

Yue Wujiu was trapped in a state of confusion, listening to the girl's soliloquies, angry and funny. He wanted to respond but couldn't get rid of the nightmare, and couldn't push away the slender figure. He could only let it go.

She "took advantage of him" again and again.

The sea breeze blew all night, and the sky finally dawned.

When Shi Xuanling woke up in a daze, she saw an enlarged handsome face and said quietly to her: "Did you become my mother last night?"

With this sudden surge of energy, the girl was completely awake.

"Act on expediency, act on expediency, Prince, don't worry about it..."

Shi Xuanling stood up quickly as he spoke, fearing that Yue Wujiu would dig deeper into the matter, so he quickly fetched hot water and started to help him wash up and... perform acupuncture and acupuncture for him.

Yes, although Yue Wujiu's fever had subsided, according to his pulse and symptoms, Shi Xuanling still had to perform acupuncture on him to completely release the heat poison in his body.

If you want acupuncture, you naturally have to take off your clothes and expose your entire back.

The young man began to feel awkward again and sat on the bed, unwilling to undress in front of Shi Xuanling.

Shi Xuanling opened the red sandalwood medicine box he had brought on board and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, it is enough for you to regard me as a doctor. In the eyes of a doctor, there are only patients, and there is no distinction between men and women."

She was so generous and magnanimous, which made her look more and more pretentious. The young man stopped talking, pursed his lips, and began to undress and take off his belt.

As soon as his back was revealed, Shi Xuanling couldn't help but marveled secretly in her heart.

What beautiful curves.

Although Yue Wujiu was very thin and suffered drastic changes and was ill at sea for a long time, he still had strong muscles, slender bones, broad shoulders, narrow waist, and firm texture, and there was no fault at all.

No matter from the perspective of looking at the "patient" or the perspective of looking at the "man", it is perfect.

Completely different from those cowardly dandies from aristocratic families in the imperial city who only know how to live and drink and have fat brains.

Yes, Shi Xuanling is talking about his own brothers. A group of buddies from the Shi family are either as thin as chickens or have big bellies. If you pull them apart one by one, you can't find any one who looks like Yue Wujiu.

So "outstanding".

In fact, Yue Wujiu has practiced martial arts with his father all year round and has strict requirements on himself. He is indeed different from the ordinary young masters from aristocratic families in the imperial city.

After all, he was once the brightest star in Shengdu City.

Shi Xuanling didn't know what he thought of, and sighed inexplicably.

"Why sigh?"

Yue Wujiu noticed it sensitively and asked nervously, but Shi Xuanling began to move the needle for him while whispering: "It's nothing, just a little distressed and regretful."

The girl didn't say anything more, but she was as smart as Yue Wujiu, and she understood the deep meaning of those words as soon as she heard them.

His breathing suddenly became rapid, and his eyes turned red unconsciously due to his excitement.

It turns out that there is still a person in this world who truly feels sorry for his situation and regrets his death.
