After rebirth, the empress was spoiled by the emperor's uncle like a little girl

Since Concubine Wen had given the order, A Bao could only take the detour to Yunqi Palace.

Pushing the door and stepping into the hall, Xiao Yunzheng turned around when he heard the voice.

The entire Yunqi Palace was filled with the smell of medicine. In the dead moonlight beside the palace window, the young man who was once full of vigor and vitality was now leaning on a cane, his face looking sickly pale.

Po was stunned.

Xiao Yunzheng clenched the handle of the staff in embarrassment.

"Why is Your Highness here?"

"Mother asked me to bring you some sweet date almond cake and peach blossom milk pudding to try."

As he said this, Abao put the food box on the table.

After a moment's silence, Xiao Yunzheng slowly moved to the table with his crutches.

A Bao suppressed his inner surprise and pretended to casually pass a soft pillow behind his waist, then handed him the opened peach blossom milk soup and a porcelain spoon.

The sweet aroma of milk wafted into Xiao Yunzheng's nose, and he was stunned.

And Abao said: "Try it, it's delicious."

Xiao Yunzheng took a sip obediently like a child and murmured, "It's really delicious."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Yunzheng saw A Bao smile.

It had been many years since he had seen her smile at him so simply out of happiness.

But as Po smiled, his smile gradually disappeared.

She remembered what Old Doctor Zhang had said when he reported Xiao Yunzheng's injury.

Xiao Yunzheng’s old lumbar injury had been delayed for too long.

Only strong medicine, supplemented by steaming with decoctions and moxibustion with golden needles, can there be a glimmer of hope. But even so, Xiao Yunzheng's old lumbar injury may not be able to heal safely.

If he failed, Xiao Yunzheng's legs would not just be temporarily numb.

But, he will never be able to stand up again for the rest of his life.

A Bao watched in silence as Xiao Yunzheng finished a whole bowl of peach blossom milk pudding.

Finally, the two looked at each other.

He looked at her cautiously and expectantly.

She didn't know what to say.

On the row of crane-head bronze stands that she had moved in earlier in the Yunqi Hall, the candlelight flickered dimly in the evening breeze.

There was another dead, eerie silence.

After a long while, A Bao picked at his nails hesitantly and comforted him, "Old Doctor Zhang is known as a miracle doctor. His medical skills are very good. You don't need to worry too much."

This was not what Xiao Yunzheng expected to hear.

There was a hint of loneliness in the depths of his eyes, but it quickly disappeared and he just smiled along.

"Yes. I'm not worried."

Upon hearing this, Abao felt quite regretful.

After all, Xiao Yunzheng was once a general who rode a horse and wielded a sword, galloping across the battlefield.

Now he is using a cane, looking like a disabled person.

Does her comfort seem too light?

Abao, who is usually eloquent, suddenly became like a mute.

On the contrary, it was Xiao Yunzheng who said, "I have already arranged the rights of the grain transport, Your Highness, please rest assured."

Hearing this, Abao's eyes flickered.

In fact, she didn't completely believe him, so she had already made a backup plan.

Thinking of this, A Bao pretended to be casual, avoiding Xiao Yunzheng's deep gaze, and looked at the small water tank next to his desk with emerald green copper coin water plants growing on it.

The little goldfish swam leisurely, occasionally shaking its tail and popping up to the surface of the water to blow bubbles.

At this time, Xiao Yunzheng suddenly said: "I have taken good care of it."

A Bao was silent for a moment, and said with mixed feelings: "That's great..."

After saying this, Abao stood up suddenly.

She looked down at Xiao Yunzheng who was leaning on the couch, and he looked at her with a pale face.

"There are still some accounts to sort out. I'll be leaving now."

Before he finished speaking, Po turned around hurriedly.

I had already reached the palace gate, but I heard the thud of something heavy falling to the ground, and then -

"Don't go." Just two words, but his tone concealed great pain and unwillingness, as well as unspeakable embarrassment.

A Bao stopped suddenly, but despite all his hesitation, he did not look back.

"I'll call Dr. Zhang to come and see you."

After saying this, A Bao walked straight over the threshold of the palace gate.
