1564 From the Heart
After everyone retreated, Xia Wanyuan sat back at Jun Shiling’s bed with the medicine.
Jun Shiling had been unconscious for a long time. During this period of time, Xia Wanyuan had personally fed him the medicine. In his unconscious state, he could not swallow it on his own.
Every time this happened, Xia Wanyuan would dismiss everyone. An hour later, Xia Wanyuan came out with an empty bowl.
No one knew how she had fed Jun Shiling the medicine. However, in the past few days, Xia Wanyuan had become more and more fond of sweet food. The number of preserved fruits that they had given Xia Wanyuan had clearly increased.
Now, looking at Jun Shiling lying peacefully on the bed, Xia Wanyuan glanced at the medicine bowl in her hand and endured the bitterness to send a spoonful of medicine into her mouth. Then, she bent down and sent the medicine into Jun Shiling’s mouth bit by bit.
After a mouthful of medicine, Xia Wanyuan straightened her body and hurriedly fed herself a mouthful of honey.
Just like that, the cycle repeated. The bowl of medicine was finally sent into Jun Shiling’s mouth by Xia Wanyuan, but Jun Shiling showed no signs of waking up.
Xia Wanyuan put the medicine bowl aside and pulled the blanket over Jun Shiling to cover him. She sat quietly at the side and watched Jun Shiling sleep.
After not seeing him for three years, Jun Shiling seemed to have become more haggard, but it did not affect his handsomeness at all.
When they first met three years ago, Xia Wanyuan had once sighed that Jun Shiling’s facial features were good. Now that three years had passed, she was still stunned when she caught a glimpse of him.
Xia Wanyuan could not help but reach out to touch Jun Shiling’s long eyelashes.
She had heard from the imperial physician that she had to talk to the patient more. This could awaken the patient’s survival ability.
For so many days, as long as Xia Wanyuan had time, she would come and chat with Jun Shiling. She mostly talked about her matters in the court.
After they eliminated the remaining forces of Jiang Qing and the huge obstacle of Jiang Qing, the rest went with the flow. The other forces surrendered and the entire world was in the hands of the Xia family again.
Xia Wei was the legitimate crown prince. Now that the world had been decided, he naturally ascended the throne smoothly. Just like in his previous life, he was called Emperor Xia Yuan.
On the day of the coronation ceremony, Xia He had also attended. However, he only appeared for a while and left without even attending the banquet. He did not even ask for the fiefdom Xia Wei had given him and went to live his own carefree life.
They talked about Xia Wanyuan’s life every day. For some reason, Xia Wanyuan suddenly wanted to tell Jun Shiling what was on her mind today.
She supported her chin and looked at Jun Shiling.
“Although what you told me three years ago was like a fantasy, to be honest, I believe you from the bottom of my heart. Thank you for your secret support in the past few years, just as I will like you in the future. Actually, no matter what era it is, I will always be happy with you.”
As Xia Wanyuan spoke, her face flushed red. Looking at Jun Shiling’s handsome side profile, the corners of Xia Wanyuan’s lips curled up slightly. “I wonder when you’ll wake up. I want to bring you to the palace where I used to live.”
Xia Wanyuan had been talking to Jun Shiling, but Jun Shiling did not react. Xia Wanyuan sighed softly and walked to the side to play the zither for Jun Shiling.
However, the moment she turned around, Jun Shiling’s hand under the blanket moved slightly.
Yet, this commotion was too small and could not be sensed by Xia Wanyuan at all.
Time passed faster and faster. In the blink of an eye, winter arrived and it was snowing.
In order to make Xia Wanyuan happier, Xia Wei ordered someone to plant many white plums in the imperial garden. It was snowing lightly that day, so Xia Wei specially postponed the governmental meeting and pulled Xia Wanyuan to admire the plums.
