Taking Marvel back to the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 40 A visitor from my mother’s family

As soon as Lansuo mentioned the meal, the hearts of everyone present were in their throats. As expected, Shan Qiaomo was furious and waved his hand, asking the military doctor to test the food for poison immediately.

The military doctor bowed and walked to the table and followed the instructions. He had already experienced this meal, and there was no way it was poisonous. Not to mention that the people who tried it were safe, and poisoning was even more unlikely. However, considering the unpredictable nature of the emperor's heart, he still obeyed the instructions. Sorry.

"Back to the Emperor, there is nothing wrong with the meal."

As if he hadn't heard what the military doctor said, Shan Qiaomo anxiously took the towel from the maid's hand and wiped Muloxiao's sweat in person. By wiping it like this, he could feel the heat on her forehead even more.

"It's a fever again!"

The towel was thrown away by him with a snap, and everyone immediately knelt down in fear.

Having suffered from multiple fevers, Shan Qiaomo no longer believed in the medical skills of military doctors. There was no one else present who knew medicine. This was the first time he had encountered such a helpless situation.

Mu Luoxiao slowly opened her eyelids. Although she had a splitting headache, she still endured it and kept her eyes from searching the tent.

"Xiaoxiao, how do you feel?" Only when facing her, he was no longer an emperor, but an ordinary man.

She wanted to confirm with Jingfeng whether the third brother had left, but Shan Qiaomo blocked her view and could not see anyone else.

Shan Qiaomo was a little angry and held her hand tightly, but he was at a loss. He didn't even understand what he was angry about.

The military doctor gritted his teeth and decided to express the confusion that had been hidden in his heart for a long time, "Your Majesty, please forgive me for my negligence. I felt something was wrong before the empress had a fever, but the fever subsided that day, and I didn't think much about it. Now that I think about it, Your Majesty has more than just a fever."

Shan Qiao's eyes suddenly tightened, "Keep talking!"

"Yes, I suspect that your old illness has recurred. I don't know what it is specifically. I'll be honest, but if you don't get timely treatment, I'm afraid..."

The military doctor shut up in time, deliberately skipping the taboo word, and continued, "The medicinal materials in the military are limited. If we want to save the empress, we still need to invite the empress back to the palace, so that she can recover."

The military doctor couldn't help wiping his sweat. He could feel the gloom emanating from the emperor without raising his head.

Everyone thought that the emperor would be furious and reprimand the military doctors for being useless. Unexpectedly, after a period of silence, Shan Qiaomo just told them to leave immediately.

Lansuo walked behind, couldn't help but look back at them, and then walked out.

Mu Luoxiao couldn't explain what she felt on her body. She just felt extremely uncomfortable. Her breathing was heavy, her chest was tight, and she had a splitting headache, but she wouldn't faint. This was what made her miserable.

Shan Qiaomo helped her up and let her lean on his shoulder.

Mu Luoxiao was still thinking about Mu Lifang in a daze, and her only thought was to prevent Shan Qiaomo from finding out as soon as possible, so she turned around and lay on him, tightening her hands on his waist.

She thought that this was her over there calling her back, and she became more and more anxious. Even though her strength was weak, she hugged him as tightly as possible.

She didn't know how precious her intentional or unintentional move was in Shan Qiaomo's eyes. Even when she tightened her arms, he was so surprised that he forgot to breathe.

He was surprised that his heart had reached this point for her, and he also knew in his heart that in this life, there would be no one else but her on his pillow!

"Do you know how long I've been waiting for this day? When I first met you in Gu Yue, I thought you were innocent and frank, and that I liked you, but you just fell in love with him..." It seemed that he was talking about the most untouchable thing deep in his heart. Taboo, he closed his eyes for a moment to calm down.

"I admit that I have selfish motives in conquering Gu Yue. I am not willing to watch you become his wife. Thinking about it, letting Phantom pick you up has become the most correct decision for me. Xiaoxiao, I will definitely live up to you in this life!"

He was sincere and every word was sincere. Mu Luoxiao couldn't turn a deaf ear to it. She could even feel her heart skip a beat for him.

She pressed her forehead against his shoulder, feeling unbearable in her heart. As an emperor, for her sake, he would not accept his concubines. Such an intention would make even a hard-hearted person feel moved, let alone a person like her who is strong on the outside but can do nothing on the inside.

"Shan...Shan Qiaomo, I...I don't deserve this."

Shan Qiaomo raised the corners of his lips, his eyes full of tenderness, "Just by your words, you are worth everything I give."

Mu Luoxiao didn't say anything anymore, his nose was slightly sore, and he felt helpless in his heart that he couldn't hear.

She knew very well that touching was not the same as love. Some people, no matter how hard they tried to forget, just couldn't forget them. And what others thought was appropriate, in her heart, she didn't love them.

All the mixed flavors finally turned into a touch of bitterness on her lips.

The military doctor quickly delivered some decoction to stabilize the condition. Shan Qiaomo took the small bowl and told him to stand down.

Mu Luoxiao thought that this was a sign of leaving, so he didn't want to drink the bitter medicine in vain, so he pursed his lips and shook his head.

"You want me to do it?"

There was dissatisfaction between his brows. Mu Luoxiao knew that the "action" he said was not that simple. He curled his lips and had no choice but to drink it.

It wasn't until dawn that Mu Luoxiao slowly opened his eyes in Shan Qiaomo's arms.

The strange thing is that when she woke up again, she was fine. Everything last night seemed like a futile dream.

"what happened……"

She asked herself, and suddenly felt that what she saw in front of her was not real. For a moment, she thought she had returned to modern times. What she saw when she opened her eyes was a white ceiling and pure white sheets, but/she pinched her thigh hard , couldn't help but let out a "hiss".

"Huh? Xiaoxiao, what's wrong?"

Shan Qiaomo stayed with her until early in the morning before falling asleep. He was not asleep at all, so the slightest movement from her woke him up. He stood up and looked around at her.

"I……"

Her voice stopped suddenly, and even her breathing was choked by his movement.

The touch between forehead and forehead, the subtle collision between the two nose tips, Mu Luoxiao never thought that one day he would do such a thing to her. Surprisingly, he didn't feel disgusted, but he didn't like it either. , just simple surprise.

When their eyes met, Mu Luoxiao avoided subconsciously. He took the first step and moved his cheek to bury her into his shoulder.

"Don't scare me again." ()
