Chapter 20
However, Xiao Chen, who thought he would be happy, frowned even tighter: "It's not been a day or two since I've been sick. I'm not in a hurry, but you, it's like you're about to fall down. You should hurry up and rest."

Shen Ruo shook his shoulder uncomfortably, and finally said: "I know, don't push me!"

Being pressed by Xiao Chen's shoulders all the way back to the room, she was indeed tired, and she had no intention of resisting Xiao Chen anymore, but Xiao Chen, who was used to being rebellious, was not used to it.

He stood in front of the bed, looked at Shen Ruo who was already lying down, and felt her silent rushing eyes, he didn't know which muscle was wrong, but he misunderstood her meaning, and even pulled the bench specially, Helped her tuck the liquid quilt: "Don't worry, I will guard you here."

"..."

Shen Ruo's eyes had turned into looking at a fool, but she was so exhausted, her weakness was even a little unusual, but she didn't have time to think about it, so she hugged the cat that was also sleeping soundly, and fell asleep. up.

It wasn't until the sound of steady and even breathing sounded in the room that Xiao Chen's eyes fell on Shen Ruo's face openly.

When she was asleep, she lacked those eyes that were always sharp and aggressive, but was much softer, like a dodder flower that would die at any moment.

But Xiao Chen knew that she was not like this, she was stronger and stronger than anyone else!
He didn't know why he was sitting here looking at her?He even looked at her for a long time, and he didn't leave silently until Feng Xi had something to report.

When Shen Ruo woke up, the person in front of the bed was not there. She breathed a sigh of relief and didn't think much about it, but felt abnormally heavy on her stomach.

She lifted the quilt and saw that it was the imperial concubine's cat who had hugged her stomach at some point. She checked and found that the stitches were well stitched and there was no bleeding. With the healing power of animals, it should be cured in three days. .

In the next few days, Xiao Chen, who always felt a little guilty, didn't show up for a long time, and Shen Ruo pretended that he didn't have this person. He occasionally stroked the cat and checked Lin'er's homework. The small days were very pleasant.

But Xiao Chen, who sent someone to inquire about the situation, felt a little uncomfortable. He didn't see him for three whole days, and he didn't even ask a question. Is this woman's heart made of iron?

Fortunately, seeing her looking bad that day, he asked the cook to make up for her, and he almost fed her to the dog.

Originally, he was just busy and didn't have time to see Shen Ruo, but after hearing the report, he felt inexplicably sullen, and decided to wait for Shen Ruo to come to see him, but he couldn't wait for anyone to come.

It wasn't until someone from the palace came to pick up the cat that he got the reason to meet someone. He saw a cold-hearted woman with a small face like ice and snow, her expression was nothing, but her eyes were almost glued to the cat. , Facing the little eunuch who came to get the cat, he babbled on the precautions.

He coughed twice, and when everyone in the room turned their attention, he said softly: "If Ruo'er is so reluctant to part with this cat, the king will ask someone to find a cat that is exactly the same."

Shen Ruo glanced at someone whom he hadn't seen for a long time, and said lightly as usual: "No need." Then he continued to tell the little eunuch about matters.

The little eunuch noticed the two eyes staring at him from behind, and almost poked two holes in his back, he hurriedly said bitterly: "Miss Jing Wang, don't worry, this is the little heart of our noble concubine, I won’t treat this little ancestor badly. The slave is in a hurry to send this little ancestor back to the palace, so I’ll take my leave first.”

Shen Ruo wanted to send the man out of the mansion himself, but was blocked by Xiao Chen who was unwilling to be ignored. The little eunuch, who seemed to be being chased by a ghost, immediately stalked and ran away with the cat cage.

Shen Ruo saw that it would be rude to go after her again, so she had no choice but to give up. She glanced at Xiao Chen who always felt that she was not getting along with her today, and asked angrily, "Why?"

Xiao Chen was not only not angry, but rather leisurely: "Didn't you say that I have a clue to my illness? Of course I came to see a doctor."

As soon as he finished speaking, a bottle was thrown towards him, but this time he did not avoid it, but caught it. He looked down in doubt: "What is this?"

"Medicine!" Shen Ruo said succinctly, turned around and walked towards the inner room, blocked by layers of gauze curtains, once opened, a strong smell of herbs wafted out.

Xiao Chen followed behind and took a look, there were still a lot of dried herbs on the dressing table that hadn't been collected in time, it seemed that she was busy with his medicine these days.

Thinking of this, Xiao Chen didn't show his face, but the look in the corners of his eyes softened, and he couldn't help cursing inwardly that it was useless to pay him back, and he didn't report such an important matter to him.

It's just that it's not Feng Xi's fault, Shen Ruo also gave medicine to the imperial concubine's cat during this time, who would have thought that she would steal a "free time" by the way.

Shen Ruo tidied up the medicinal materials on the dressing table, saw Xiao Chen was still there, hesitated for a moment, and said: "This medicine is taken three times a day, one at a time, after meals, and if there is anything wrong, please come and tell me."

Xiao Chen looked at the medicine in his hand, said "Oh", and put the medicine into his bosom.

Seeing that he was still here, Shen Ruo didn't know what he was going to do, so she asked directly, "Are you not busy?"

"How do you know I'm busy?" Seeing that she rarely cared about him, Xiao Chen raised his spirits.

But Shen Ruo felt more and more that something was wrong with him: "You haven't come for three days, isn't it because you are too busy?" So much so that he didn't even care about his illness.

"..." Xiao Chen thought about his performance in the past three days, and decided to let this matter be buried in the ground forever.

Afterwards, Xiao Chen still didn't leave, and even had lunch with Shen Ruo's mother and son. Although Shen Ruo wasn't used to it, he didn't drive them away after all.

As the night approached, someone from the palace knocked on the door of Prince Jing's mansion again, but they sent two beauties who looked like flowers and jade.

Today's good mood was completely ruined because of this incident, Xiao Chen's face was terribly gloomy: "Eunuch Li, this king has no blessings, please send him back."

Eunuch Li laughed a few times, and said angrily, "Your Highness is joking, this is a thank-you gift from Your Majesty to the Highness, not for you, Highness."

"For me?"

Shen Ruo didn't seem to have expected it, she raised her eyebrows with some interest, looked at the two beauties, and asked, "What's your name?"

The beauty Qianqian bowed: "Slave Yun Chu (Yun Yu), pay my respects to your empress."

Shen Ruo now understood that this was borrowing flowers to offer Buddha.

She looked at Xiao Chen with a half-smile: "Since the empress is so kind, the prince will accept it?"

Xiao Chen's complexion was as dark as ink, he looked over with fixed eyes, but got a provocative smile from Shen Ruo, he never thought, he smiled instead of anger: "Alright, the person sent by the noble concubine is naturally caring and caring, and it's just right to serve the princess. This king is also worried that his beloved wife will be lonely in this palace."

He strode closer, and hugged him into his arms, with an ambiguous expression on his face: "But a spring night is worth a thousand dollars, so you can wait outside the house at night."

"Xiao... um!" Shen Ruo, who was picked up, was about to struggle, but a big hand covered her mouth, and she could only watch as she was carried into Xiao Chen's master bedroom.

"what are you doing?"

As soon as Xiao Chen entered the room, he left Shen Ruo behind. Fortunately, she was quick in her hands and feet, so she stood firmly, but she couldn't help her anger and asked questions directly.

Xiao Chen sat on the bed calmly and naturally: "You and I are husband and wife, so naturally we want to share the same bed."

He emphasized the last few words, Shen Ruo immediately understood, she looked around, except for the bed, which was ridiculously concise, she asked: "Then where do I sleep?"

Xiao Chen shrugged: "The place is so big, you can sleep anywhere."

With that said, he rolled onto the bed and lay down.

"You..." She stepped forward a few steps, but she heard the sound of steady and powerful breathing. She was astonished, and actually fell asleep!
