Chapter 8 Well, I want to eat
Huazui opened her eyes bewilderedly, and saw layers of curtains on her head. Her mind was heavy and she murmured unconsciously, "Shui... Zhiqiu, Shui..."

Someone helped her up, the cup was pressed to her lips, Hua Zuili reached out to take it, but she touched a slender hand with clear bones, far less smooth than her daughter's.

When she turned her head to look sideways, she saw the noble young man in a black-patterned silver-glow robe sitting behind him, with his hands slightly around her shoulders, making her lean against him.

"Mei...Your Highness..."

"Well, I'm here." Mei Zhuoxue gently comforted her, and then fed her water, "Are you feeling better? You've been in a coma all night, but what's wrong?"

Hua Zuili became more awake, and suddenly remembered that she let a snake bite someone on the mountainside and poisoned herself unconscious. She didn't talk too much when she fell asleep...

Shocked by this thought, she hurriedly got up and knelt on the bed: "Your Highness, I didn't know it was you. I offended you just now, please forgive me."

Mei Zhuoxue looked at the person who quickly escaped from her arms, and said indifferently, "You still have the strength to plead guilty, which means you are better. If something happens to you, I don't know how many people will be buried for it."

He put down his teacup, walked to the red sandalwood table by the window and sat down, "I've been in a coma all night, I think you're hungry too, come over and have something to eat."

Hua Zuili didn't know what to say, but got out of bed slowly.In the house, the fragrance of the Fan was faint, and the scrolls of ink were hanging high, and she immediately knew that she had returned to the small courtyard of Yixiang.

Walking slowly, she saw lily and lotus seed porridge, winter bamboo shoots and magnolia slices, and several bowls of side dishes on the red sandalwood table.

The porridge was still hot, slightly steaming.

"How does Your Highness know that I will wake up at this time?" Hua Zuili took a closer look, all the food was exquisite and fresh, and it didn't look like it had been heated repeatedly.

"When you are in a coma, you will be replaced with a fresh meal every quarter of an hour to ensure that you can eat warm food when you wake up."

Holding a carving knife, Mei Zhuoxue was still carefully carving the cold plum pattern on the guqin, the pattern was bright red and gorgeous, as if it had been stained with rich blood.

Hua Zuili lowered her eyes, picked up the porcelain bowl and began to eat slowly.

The two of them were relatively speechless, but it was rare that they were less scheming, quiet, and a scene of peaceful years.

Hua Zuili picked up the bamboo shoots and put them in her mouth. She had something on her mind and even tasted delicious food. She seemed to have no intention of saying: "Your Highness's injury is better?"

Mei Zhuoxue glanced at her right hand wrapped in white gauze, "I was finally bitten by a poisonous snake, how could it heal so quickly, cough cough cough!"

As he spoke, he couldn't help coughing again.

Hua Zuili put down the bowl and chopsticks, and said with an apologetic face: "Although this matter has nothing to do with me, it was caused by me, I am ashamed, please punish me, Your Highness."

She couldn't figure out Mei Zhuoxue's attitude, but it didn't hinder her from expressing her attitude, and retreated to advance. As long as he continued to answer, she would know how things were going.

Mei Zhuoxue smiled lightly: "Mr. Cheng Yun, if you really feel ashamed, can you do something for me?"

Hua Zuili tightened her fingers slightly and asked, "What's the matter?"

Mei Zhuoxue turned her head and glanced at the willow branches outside the window, "The feeling of spring is strong, this reminds Gu of pastries like Liuye crisps, does Mr. Cheng Yun know?"

"I know..." This is one of the few cakes she can make. When my mother was pregnant with Chengyun, she especially wanted to eat sweet and sour desserts, so she learned it specially. Later, in order to please Mei Zhuoxue, she also Have done it a few times now and then.

But... what does this have to do with what she needs to do?
"I want to eat."

"Cough cough."

Hua Zuili almost got stuck in her throat after hearing this.

"Is it possible?" Mei Zhuoxue blinked her delicate eye feathers like a black butterfly, her eyes were full of expectations, she looked beautiful and fragile.

"Yes." Hua Zuili subconsciously agreed, but before she finished speaking, she wished she could slap herself, she had no position!There is no bottom line!It's not good to say anything, but I was tempted by beauty!

She lowered her head and was secretly distressed, directly ignoring the gentle smile of the prince.

Although he is unwilling, he cannot go back on what he promised.

Hua Zuili left Longzui Pavilion and went directly to the dining room in the small courtyard. It's noon now, the sun is warm, and the sun can make a whole body lazy.

At this time, the lunch had already been finished, the master was resting, and the servants could also relax. When she entered the dining room, there was no one around, she sighed helplessly, and she couldn't think of asking for help.

Rolling up her sleeves and looking for Baimian, she walked to the corner of the wall, but she tripped over something soft on the sole of her foot, looked down, it was a person's leg, and then looked up...

Chen Zhisheng? !Why is he here?

"Hey, you...wake up, Chen Zhisheng?" Hua Zuili put down the wooden basin containing white noodles, stretched out her hand and pushed Chen Zhisheng's shoulder.

Chen Zhisheng's face was extremely pale, his brows were furrowed, and cold sweat dripped from his forehead all the time, but even so, he still held a jagged herb tightly in his hand, as if grasping some kind of life-saving straw.

Hua Zuili got up abruptly, picked up the kitchen knife on the stove, and cut open the trousers on his left leg without saying a word. Sure enough, blood was bubbling from the wound bitten by the black scaled snake before, and the color had already turned black. .

It was impossible for her to detoxify him like she did for Mei Zhuoxue before, so she raised the kitchen knife and slid it lightly on the wound, and squeezed it repeatedly with her fingers. After a while, black blood flowed out.

She took another look at the jagged herb in his hand, although she didn't know what it was for, but since he was desperately holding on to it, it should be good for him.

Just as she tore the leaves a few times and was about to put them on the wound, someone grabbed her wrist suddenly.

"Wait a minute... Tooth Spirit Grass, only the juice can relieve snake venom, if mixed with leaves, it will affect the efficacy..."

Hua Zuili looked at the drowsy man but still had a clear mind, admiring his willpower, and did as he said, pouring the spirit grass juice on the wound.

Chen Zhisheng arched his back abruptly, like a fish in a frying pan.

"Why are you here?" Hua Zuili asked when he calmed down.

"Look for medicine, find a way to survive..."

Only then did Hua Zuili see that the basket beside him was the medicine basket she picked yesterday, "How can you say that you are also the son of the Zuowei commander, so no one cares about you?"

"Take care of me..." Chen Zhisheng's expression was a little dull, he looked straight at the roof and said sarcastically, "Who would care about a nameless bastard."

He turned to look at her, "Why are you here?"

Hua Zuili pointed to the white noodles next to it, "Make willow leaf cakes for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"The dignified prime minister's son is ordered to make pastries here. It seems that Mr. Cheng Yun is in a similar situation to me."

His sympathetic expression was a little bit connected with fate, Hua Zuili was extremely uncomfortable being stared at by him, as if in his eyes they were the kind of ants who could only survive by bowing their knees.

"As you wish."

If she was distracted by just a few words or a look, then she would really look down on herself.
