C19 homesickness

As their souls returned to their bodies, Shangguan Wan'er spoke first, "Why didn't Qi He hold on to Soup Dumplings today? Aren't you usually unwilling to let go? "

Seeing that the game had ended, Qi He was exceptionally happy. He sat back down and smiled. "That little guy has been very naughty recently. Why don't you just lock him up at home for a few days to collect your temper?"

Luo Chen felt a little unhappy after being defeated, so he waited in silence with his head lowered.

This fox spirit had only trained for three hundred years, but her magic was so powerful.

Shangguan Wan waved her sleeves, her black eyes concealing her smile. "I said that you have to keep your temper."

Qi He naturally felt guilty upon hearing this. He lowered his head and twisted his fingers. "Imperial Aunt, I'm sorry."

Shangguan Wan laughed and declined to comment.

Was this girl's apology useful? Even if sshe did, he would do it again.

Not long ago, one of Imperial Concubine Li's golden bangles disappeared. When Qi and that little girl heard this, they insisted on helping others search for it, turning the Imperial Concubine's sleeping quarters upside down. In the process of searching, they accidentally broke four vases, all of which were priceless treasures.

Since Shangguan Wan was the empress, of course she had to clean up this mess. She made a token effort to comfort her, giving some compensation before Grand Concubine Li's complexion turned much better.

Qi He knew that her imperial aunt had put in a lot of effort for him, so he said in a spoiled manner, "Imperial Aunt, Qi He promises that in the future, we will not cause any trouble."

Looking at her serious expression, any stranger would definitely be moved.

"I'm rather curious. When can you promise not to cause any more trouble?" Wei and this girl would take advantage of the situation. There was a difference between avoiding trouble and not causing trouble. Since she said that, it clearly showed that she had a habit of causing trouble.

Wei He scratched his head with a coy smile. "Imperial Aunt, aren't your words just to make things difficult for Qi He …"

She was only meddling to prove herself, but she was often self-defeating, and the more she tried, the worse it got.

"Alright, alright. If there's nothing else, you can go back." She had fought with Luo Chen, trained with Qi He, and felt tired.

Qi He stood up and saluted, "Then Aunt Huang should rest well."

After the master and servant left, Shangguan Wan called out to her. "Tell the imperial kitchens to bring some soup to replenish the blood."

Although the battle with Luo Chen had been an easy one, it had consumed a lot of her strength. Plus, she had spent a lot of effort to find the Aral Chicken Wood recently, so her body was a little too weak to handle.

Qiao Xin nodded and her melodious voice faded away.

Shangguan Wan was resting on the bed. When she turned around, she brought another person with her.

This person was the best imperial physician in the palace.

"This humble subject pays his respects to the empress." Doctor Ding knelt down and saluted.

Shangguan Wan was initially a little curious, but when she thought of the words that the Emperor had said at that time, she understood them immediately. It seemed that he had taken the wound in her hand to heart.

Thinking of this, the corner of his mouth turned into an elegant arc.

"Doctor, there is no need to be so courteous." Shangguan Wan smiled gently, then raised her eyes to signal the palace maid to leave.

Doctor Ding stood up slowly and considered what to say. She got up from the bed, walked to a potted plant and pointed at the blooming flower. "Do you recognize this, Doctor?"

The old imperial physician scrutinized the flower before shaking his head, "This humble subject is retarded and does not recognize this flower."

He couldn't help but wonder why the empress had brought up these flowers.

However, since the other party had asked, he naturally had to cooperate in his reply.

Shangguan Wan smiled and picked one of the flowers, pinching it between her fingers. "This flower was brought by me from the Southern Swallow Temple, for the sake of my homesickness." After she finished speaking, a trace of melancholy appeared on her face.

"The Empress has a nostalgic feeling about this place, and we appreciate it greatly." Actually, it was no wonder that she had left her native place at such a young age and arrived at a foreign palace. How could she not miss her home?

"The imperial physician might not know, but this flower is different from ordinary flowers. It needs to be irrigated with blood."

The Imperial Physician was shocked when he heard this. What? After being bathed in blood, he seemed to have thought of something.

Shangguan Wan noticed the change in his expression and nodded slightly. "I know what the imperial physician is thinking, just like the imperial physician thought. My hands haven't been good all this time because I want to feed these flowers."

Her voice was very soft, trying to make him feel the same way.

She had to admit that she was very good at acting. As the doctor listened, his heart softened more and more. It seemed like the empress was a woman of utmost love.

"But why don't the Empress tell the emperor the truth?"

Shangguan Wan's eyes were closed, the sadness on her beautiful face was thickening. She sighed, then opened her lips and said, "Since I've already married Xuan Yue, I can do it. How can I show my homesickness in front of the emperor?"

Hearing this, the imperial physician thought for a moment. Indeed, this was the so-called 'husband as wife'.

Seeing that the fish had taken the bait, Shangguan Wan continued, "Therefore, I'm revealing this to you today. I hope you can forgive my friendship and not tell the emperor."

The imperial physician was clearly in a difficult position. The emperor had instructed him to treat the esteemed empress's hand. If he didn't, the emperor would probably blame him.

However, thinking about it, the Empress was willing to sacrifice her own blood to raise the flowers of her homeland, and did not pretend to be someone else. This action was extremely touching.

He was in a dilemma and didn't know what to do.
