Chapter 905: Giving Up
Xia Zihan explained, "I'm worried that the eldest prince will struggle and cry, and his throat will be broken by crying."
"It's just the first few times of giving the medicine. Once you get used to it, the eldest prince won't cry anymore. Moreover, when his body becomes strong, he will gradually stop being picky about food."
When the Queen Mother saw Xia Zihan tapping the eldest prince's acupuncture points and looking like he was about to pour it, she felt extremely distressed. She was just about to open her mouth to stop Xia Zihan when she was silenced by Xia Zihan.
Yes, the eldest prince is too young to understand that this soup is good for him. He only knows that he doesn't like the taste.
However, if he didn't drink the decoction and his body bones were tortured for several more months, would this person be able to bear it?
For the sake of the eldest prince's health, the Queen Mother gritted her teeth and watched helplessly as Xia Zihan took out a small funnel she had made from a carrot and stuffed it directly into the straw tube. Then, a bowl of Pour the decoction into the small funnel carefully.
The eldest prince's throat kept moving, and in half a cup of tea, every drop of the soup was fed to the eldest prince.
Then, after pouring another half bowl of digestive decoction, Xia Zihan pulled out the straw tube.
He gave the small funnel and the straw tube to the palace maid to put away, and said, "You all saw it when I made the straw tube just now. In the future, if this one breaks, you can just make another one just like this. It's really not good." If so, send someone to Prince An’s Mansion and I’ll do it.”
"This little funnel is made from carrots. It can be used after being washed and left to dry semi-drying. It won't break."
Xia Zihan ordered with his mouth, and without stopping, tapped the eldest prince's sleeping point, so that he could have a good sleep after drinking the medicine, and save him from spitting out the medicine.
She also told the Queen Mother, "In the future, every time when you give medicine, you must tap the eldest prince's acupuncture points before instilling it, so as not to make the eldest prince cry hoarse or get angry. After drinking the medicine, quickly tap his sleeping points. He won’t spit out the medicine. It will be better if the eldest prince’s body becomes stronger after ten days and a half.”
The child was really too young, and crying would hurt his body. Especially the eldest prince's body was weak and he couldn't hold back from crying too much. That's why Xia Zihan came up with this method.
Although the Queen Mother felt distressed, she had no good solution.
In the past, when they gave the eldest prince medicine, he would cry as if he was dying. He fainted from crying several times, and she was so scared that she almost fainted with him.
Xia Zihan's method seems a bit cruel to a child, but if you think about it carefully, everything she does is for the good of the eldest prince.
The Queen Mother acquiesced.
The eldest prince fell asleep and didn't wake up until evening. The queen mother's eyes were red with joy.
The eldest prince has poor health and is a light sleeper. The slightest sound will frighten him and wake him up.
And this time, he actually slept for a whole afternoon.
After waking up, I didn't vomit and looked more energetic than before.
Therefore, the Queen Mother became even more convinced of Xia Zihan's approach.
Xia Zihan left the palace not long after the eldest prince fell asleep. At the gate of the palace, he unexpectedly met Rong San, whom he hadn't seen for a long time.
Rong San had just mounted his horse, and he must have just left the palace.
As soon as Xia Zihan saw him, he subconsciously avoided him, retreated to the palace gate, and waited for Rong San to leave before going out.
Unexpectedly, before she moved here, Rong San jumped off the horse and spoke, "Chu Yu, let's talk."
"I want to talk to you. It's getting dark soon, and I have to go back in a hurry." Xia Zihan turned around and looked at Rong San with an unkind expression. Now that the other party has called her, if she avoids them, it will appear that she is petty.
"You want to talk here?" Rong San glanced at the guard guarding the palace gate. He seemed to be talking here if she couldn't get through.
Xia Zihan was really worried that Rong San would say something unpleasant. She gritted her teeth and walked ten meters away from the palace gate with a straight face.
There were guards guarding the entrance of the palace. They were ten meters away from the entrance of the palace. No one could hear them and outsiders could see them. They were aboveboard and no gossip would spread between the two of them.
Rong San walked over and stopped two meters away from Xia Zihan. Then, he stared at her deeply and said, "Chu Yu, I have agreed to a marriage arranged by my mother and concubine for me. It will be at the end of June." Get married.”
"There is no need to tell me about your marriage." Xia Zihan's expression was cold, just like the weather in December, which made people feel cold.
Rong Sandu felt the cold air coming from the opposite side.
He smiled bitterly and said helplessly, "Chu Yu, I like you, you know it, right? Don't worry, don't leave yet, just listen to me..."
Seeing that Xia Zihan turned around and left as soon as she heard his confession, Rong San became anxious and jumped in front of her, holding out his hand to stop her, "I like you, and I even thought about marrying you. I want to I snatched you out of Chu Jingqi’s hands, but... this time, my heart died when I saw you abandoning your child and following Chu Jingqi to Miao territory.”
"What kind of place is Miao Border? Even if ten thousand soldiers and horses enter, they will die silently, but you followed Chu Jingqi to take this risk without any hesitation or fear of life or death."
"For Chu Jingqi, you are willing to leave behind a few months of your child, and even ignore your huge fortune. Chu Jingqi is more important to you than anyone else, including your two sons."
"I have been obsessed with you for so long, and this time I finally realized that even if Chu Jingqi did not exist, you would not marry me, and even if I snatched you away and went back to be my wife, you would not give in, so , I gave up,
She was devoted to Chu Jingqi and would never leave her. His heart ached when he saw her, and he saw envy, jealousy, and hatred. At the same time, his heart also died.
He could tell that even if Chu Jingqi died one day, Xia Zihan would not marry him.
How could a woman who valued her husband more than her own child waiting to be fed, marry someone else?
It was because he saw this that he gave up and agreed to the marriage arranged by his mother and concubine. He agreed to marry his cousin, which could be regarded as compensation for the last time he refused the marriage with his uncle's family.
However, he has kept this feeling in his heart for too long. If he doesn't spit it out and tell Chu Yu, he will not be reconciled.
In fact, even if he told Chu Yu, he would not be reconciled, but...he could only force himself to give up on a woman he could never get, and who even hated him.
If he can't get her, then let her remember him.
I hope today's conversation will leave a trace in her heart, even a little bit.
After Rong San finished speaking, without waiting for Xia Zihan's reaction, he jumped on the horse and ran away.
Xia Zihan stared at his back with a cold expression.
You said you let it go, just let it go silently. Why did you stop her and tell her that you wanted her to remember him?
Yep, Rong San has always been a stranger to her.
Why should she waste her time remembering a stranger?
