When Imperial Physician Ma came to the Xi Residence, aside from treating Huo Li's injuries, he also had another extremely important mission, and that was …

"Duke Yuan is a proud and aloof person, and he does not like to talk, much less be close to women. I have left him in the care of Miss Xi because I wanted him to have more time and opportunity to get to know Miss Xi."

"Prince Wei's injuries are quite severe this time. I know that your [Golden Needle Technique] has the effect of reviving the dead, but I don't want to let him recover too quickly."

"If you get better too quickly, he will fly to the Palace. When that time comes, it will be even harder for Miss Xi to meet him than to ascend to the heavens. "Remember, do not use your best medical skills or ingredients to save his life. Let him slowly recover in the Xi Mansion, the longer the better."

"You also know that I have paid attention to Young Lady Xi for many years. Through the two things that have happened recently, I have become increasingly satisfied with her. She is a woman who can shield Prince Ya from the elements, and also a woman who can share hardships with him."

"Miss Xi is very sensible, and the most difficult part is still dealing with the Prince. However, you are also experienced in matters of the relationship between a man and a woman, so you naturally understand the ignorant hearts of young men and women."

"Therefore, I hope that when you're in the Xi Mansion, you can take care of the opportunity and arrange the relationship between Prince Duan and Miss Xi so that Prince Yuan can have a spark of love with Miss Xi during the period of healing."

"Men have a lot of face, if you should provoke him, if you should provoke him, if you should make him fail to step down from the stage, then he should be able to notice Miss Xi's good points faster. Once he notices her good points, he will naturally be moved and would naturally be reluctant to let go."

"The Crown Prince has been spoiled by me, and when he comes back, he is even more eager to leave. Miss Xi has already understood my intentions and agreed to help me awaken his fighting spirit, but to make Prince Yi listen to her, I have to make him fall in love with her."

"Doctor Ma, traveling here can be said to be a heavy responsibility for you. Don't disappoint us. If you have good news, bring it back. If you don't have good news, bring it back to us."

Imperial Physician Ma, having received such a serious responsibility from Huo Dashan, naturally didn't dare to lower his guard. The words he said to Huo Li in the morning seemed to be an intentional action, but to the point of infuriating Xi Sanming, he had never thought that it would happen.

It was because the women he had seen before, no matter how spicy they were, would still conceal themselves in front of others. How could they dare to be angry in front of everyone, how could they dare to be angry at the prince who stood high above them?

Imperial Physician Ma still hadn't gotten used to it, so he could only roll his eyes and stare blankly at the two of them.

Si Sanmo was still standing by the bed, his back facing Huo Li as he wept silently.

Huo Li held her hand and looked eagerly at her back. His deep eyes were filled with complex emotions. Hatred and love flickered in his eyes, as if he wanted to love but didn't dare to. He wanted to hate but couldn't.

Imperial Physician Ma didn't understand Huo Li's contradiction, so he felt that the timing and atmosphere was right. He took a step forward and said softly, "Your highness has already finished his medicine, but his clothes are dirty too. This humble official will have the eunuch bring his clothes in right now." After Miss Xi had helped the prince change his clothes, she had also asked her to take care of him and rest as soon as possible. As for the medicinal food, this humble subject will return it two hours later. "

With that, he slipped away, not even giving Xi Sanmo the chance to refuse.

The eunuch brought the clean clothes over very quickly. When he brought them here, Xi Sanmo and Huo Li were still in the same posture as before. No one said anything, and no one moved either, because with Imperial Physician Ma's reminder, he didn't stay long.

Xi Sumo looked at the neatly folded clothes on the table and did not move for a long time. She felt wronged and heartbroken at the same time. Although Huo Li did not mean to hurt her, his actions had really crossed her bottom line.

How could he send her out? She was a person with dignity. It wasn't like she had no blood, flesh, or emotions!

Huo Li also felt that his actions were a bit too much. Xi Sanmo was engaged to him, but he wasn't married to him yet. That meant he wasn't his person. What right did he have to give her away?

However, he was a prince, an extremely famous one. Even if he was wrong, he was wrong. He could not apologize, and even more so, he could not lower his head to her.

The atmosphere in the room turned stiff and awkward due to the unwillingness to respond, the unwillingness to bow his head, and the lack of reconciliation.

Imperial Physician Ma peeked out of the window and saw that the two had been petrified, so he called two eunuchs in, one with a plate of hot water, the other with a pot of hot tea.

They went in trembling with fear and carefully placed the hot water on the table and the bed. "Imperial Physician Ma said that the prince's body was full of medicinal juice, so when Young Miss Xi changes her clothes, remember to help the prince clean himself." Imperial Physician Ma also said that the prince had to have a fever tonight, or else it would cause him to fall ill. Once his body recovered, he wouldn't be as strong and healthy as before.

In the empty room, only the two of them were left. Huo Li vowed never to lower his head, refusing to even say a word of consolation.

In the end, it was still Xi Sanmo who felt more pity for him. Seeing how serious the eunuch's tone was, she no longer had the mood to get angry at Huo Li.

She wiped the tears off her face and gently shook off Huo Li's hand. She walked to the table and carried the clean clothes to the bed, then looked at Huo Li's sickly face and softly said, "Change your clothes, get some rest early. We'll talk about the rest tomorrow."

Huo Li stared at her, his entire body weak and sickly. But how could her complexion be glorious? Weariness covered her face, her eyes were bloodshot, and there were even tears on her face. Her lips had dried up and cracked from the wind without a trace of lipstick, revealing a layer of white skin.

"Is it tiring to take care of This King?" Fire was water on one side, heaven was hell on the other. Under the command of these two emotions, Huo Li wanted to caress her face, but he couldn't tell if his words were meant to comfort or reprimand her.

He reached out to take off his blanket to expose his upper body. Then, he untied the belt on his clothes and opened it to both sides. When he opened it, he saw a set of skinny and bony chest pressed into his eyes.

The tears that she had just stopped came out of Xi Sanmo's eyes in a flash. She was in so much pain that her heart felt as though it was being stabbed by a knife.

He remembered that when they parted ways, although he had not regained some of his weight, he had at least recovered some of it. How could he be as thin as a refugee in famine years?!

She remembered that when she hugged him on the cliff, she knew that he had lost weight. But how could she have imagined that he would be this emaciated?!

"Why not?" Xi Sanmo held onto one of his arms tightly and cried out.

She wanted to ask why he was so thin even though he hated her so much.

Why did he still torture himself for hating her so much?

Why did he hate her so much after torturing her?

Curses were like a layer of paper. Breaking through that layer of paper meant waking up. If you couldn't break through, you would be trapped in a state of confusion forever. Huo Li, come out. Hurry and come out …

Huo Li couldn't rush out. Hatred was always a little more than the love in his heart, but that little bit was enough to trap him inside.

He watched her cry, watched her tears trickle down her cheeks. He didn't know what she was sad about, but he felt his heart break a little.

His hand, after struggling repeatedly, finally raised it and placed it on her face to wipe away the tears on her face. However, his voice was still firm. "If you don't want to follow Imperial Physician Ma, then stay by my side and quickly change my clothes. This duke wants to sleep."

Her tears dripped onto Huo Li's clean clothes. They dripped into the hot water that had been used to wipe her clothes, one by one, and fell into the tepid tea water.

Huo Li didn't know what else to say. He just stared at her in silence, gulping down the hot tea and swallowing it along with her tears.

So sour, so bitter!

But why was it so sour? Why is it so hard?

Huo Li didn't understand, but he thought of something and said, "If you keep crying like this, this king will not be able to stand it." If you sleep with This King, if you fall asleep, you won't be able to cry! "

As expected, Xi Sanmo began to suck in a deep breath to control his emotions. However, his voice was still hoarse and his tone was twitching, "No …" Your Highness, go to sleep first … I'm waiting for Imperial Physician Ma to bring the medicinal food over … After feeding the prince... I'll sleep again... I'll stop crying... "Your Highness, close your eyes and go to sleep …"

Huo Li picked up the towel that was coldly tied around her forehead and wiped away the tears on her face. "Although you can't do anything to your lordship's heart, you've already had some hard work to do these past few days. You've been tired all day, so come up and sleep. In a while, Imperial Physician Ma will come in and your lordship will wake you up."

He had to stay up all night to take care of Huo Li's tiredness. He had to attend to the crown prince's tiredness when he entered the palace, fight with the emperor for his life and win the battle of wits. He also had to leave because he was extremely tired from crying.

"This King has always kept to his word. If I say it, I'll call you. You still dare to doubt This King? You truly are audacious!" Huo Li's face was stern, and his mouth was stern. However, he opened his arms in tacit understanding, allowing her to rest on the pillow.

"You can scold me, you can ignore me, you can chase me away, but you can't casually give me away. Huo Li, I'm your woman, and I'm your woman. Remember, you're not allowed to send me out again."

Joy jumped deep in Huo Li's heart. He finally got to hear what he wanted to hear, but he couldn't. He was so happy that he turned into disgust when he was hit by hatred. He scowled and muttered under his breath, "How thick-skinned, you dare to say such words."

He hugged Huo Li and slept soundly. After a while, he would get up and change Huo Li's towel, and after a while, he would get up and feed Huo Li some water. After that, he would wake up and feed Huo Li some medicine …

With a heavy heart, Xi Sumo fell asleep tiredly, but Huo Li couldn't fall asleep. He kept staring at her sleeping face, unable to get enough of it no matter how hard he looked.

Also, the little mouth she pouted with was so cute. Give it a kiss and it should be fine. She should be asleep already …

While Huo Li was struggling, he sneaked forward and pecked her on the lips. Seeing that she didn't react, he pecked again, then again, then again …

Imperial Physician Ma, who was peeping from the outside, saw Huo Li's meticulous and insatiable greed and couldn't help but secretly laugh. He called over the eunuchs and had them bring these matters to the palace before making a conclusion.

"Your highness has some feelings for Miss Xi. It's just that your heart is a bit contradictory and you don't know whether you should accept her or not. With regards to this performance, this humble subject believes that His Highness could not let go of the matter of the disappearance for half a year. He might be worried that there is another woman in his memory that he has promised that he will not be able to fulfill that woman's promise, so he does not dare to boldly accept Miss Xi. "

When he recovered his memories, he was afraid that even Xi Sanmo's children would have given birth to a few of them. By then, how could half a year of love be comparable to three to five years of living together? Even if Huo Li wanted the title of emperor, it would still be a side room, and he wouldn't be able to sit in the main palace.

Therefore, if we continue to work hard to arrange the match and succeed in doing so, I will reward you handsomely!

Imperial Physician Ma was so happy that he couldn't even close his mouth when he received the reply. The emperor was generous with his efforts. Once that was done, he would be defenseless against eight more women, much less eight at home.

Imperial Physician Ma was in an exceptionally good mood. At nine o'clock in the evening, he returned to his room while singing a song. He gently opened the door and tiptoed inside.

As soon as he entered, he heard Huo Li softly talking to himself in his sleep. He kept calling out to someone, "Mo Er, Mo Er, Mo Er …"
