How can I bow my head and serve the powerful officials?

"Don't make rumors! Don't believe rumors! Don't spread rumors!"

When Xie Chengze woke up, he learned that the news of his death had spread throughout Tianshui City overnight. Some ordinary people had even put on white linen clothes to pay tribute to him. He roared out this "famous quote of truth" again.

"Your Highness, this is due to your diet. You have been eating too much and eating too much raw and cold food, which has weakened your spleen and stomach. In addition, you have been overthinking for a long time, and your body has been straining your stomach. Your body has already reached its limit, and it is only because you are mentally tense that you have not collapsed." The old doctor who was called in said as he wrote the prescription, "Your Highness fainted because your spirit suddenly relaxed, which caused a backlash in your body. If he had not drunk some old ginseng soup beforehand, he would not have woken up so quickly."

Xie Zimiao, who was standing on the ground, had a look of relief on his face. "It's okay, it's okay. I told you that this old ginseng will definitely come in handy. In order to avoid the tragedy last time, I deliberately only put a small whisker!"

The last tragedy? What tragedy?

Everyone looked at Xie Zimiao in confusion.

"But the Second Prince's body is deficient. It should be because he had been hungry for a long time not long ago, and did not eat enough. Later, he overate and ate too much spicy food..." The old doctor judged, and then asked doubtfully, "Did Your Highness go on a diet? Don't do that. Your spleen and stomach are weak. If you eat three meals a day as usual, your body will be fine. But if you go on a diet too much, your body will inevitably be affected. There will be no symptoms at first, but once you have vomiting and diarrhea, you will have to take medicine all the time."

Hearing this, Shen Yuan, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, felt his heart tighten, and the quilt under him was obviously wrinkled.

The old Chinese doctor said that it was probably during that half year in Yizhou.

At that time, there was a food shortage in Yizhou. Even though there were caravans delivering food later, it was all ordinary rice. Pork and vegetables were very scarce, and they were given priority to laborers doing manual labor.

Xie Chengze refused the preferential treatment on the grounds that he did not work, and would only eat a plate of meat when he was extremely hungry.

In his previous life, the Second Prince never criticized his diet, so he never had any spleen and stomach deficiency. He just thought that the other person's body was no different from that of an ordinary person, as long as he could fill his stomach, so at that time, he didn't care about Xie Chengze eating steamed buns and drinking white porridge every day.

He didn’t know…

I didn't know that every time Xie Chengze was distracted and listless, it was because his body was reaching its limit.

"Doctor, is it possible to repair it?" Shen Yuan asked in a deep voice, holding the thin wrist through the quilt with his palm.

He had indeed lost weight, and usually hid his weight in his sleeves, making it difficult for anyone to see him.

"Take the herbs for seven days first. When the Second Prince returns to the palace, you can eat a normal diet supplemented with medicinal food." After saying that, the old doctor finished writing the prescription. "During this period, avoid spicy and sweet foods."

"What?!" Xie Chengze was shocked.

He was not startled when he was transported into a book, nor was he startled when the protagonist was reborn and wanted to kill him. He was not afraid of floods and blizzards, but he was not allowed to eat sweets.

Isn't this going to cost him his life?

People are mean, the more they are not allowed to eat, the more they want to eat. If there were no cakes in Tianshui City, it would be fine if they didn't eat them, but Su Qinghe was right in front of him, but he couldn't taste the cakes anymore——

My little heart feels like the pain of ants gnawing at my bones!

……

The herbs were just too bitter.

After drinking four times in a row, Xie Chengze felt like he was living a life worse than death. Every time he tried to hide and escape from the drugs, he would be caught by Shen Yuan in the end.

"No, how did you find me?" Xie Chengze's face was filled with doubt. He had asked Wuhen to carry him to such a far place, how could Shen Yuan still find him? !

Seeing Shen Yuan easily pulling him off Wuhen's back, Xie Chengze realized it later and couldn't help but glare at Wuhen angrily, "Wuhen! You betrayed me?!"

No wonder Shen Yuan was able to find me every time. It turned out that someone had tipped me off and left a mark for him to track me!

He actually thought Shen Yuan's martial arts had improved!

"Wuhen is doing this for your own good." Shen Yuan took out the water bag from his arms. The medicinal soup inside was still warm. "Do you want to drink it yourself, or do you want me to force you to drink it? Or..."

"Or what?" Xie Chengze couldn't help but feel a glimmer of hope, and looked forward to the third answer.

"Or maybe you want Wuhen and I to force you to drink together." Shen Yuan said slowly.

Xie Chengze: ...

Shen Yuan, you have no heart!

"I won't drink!" Xie Chengze was so angry that he swung his sleeves and said stubbornly, "I feel very good now. I don't need to take medicine! I enjoy everything I eat!"

"Your Highness, don't be so willful." Seeing how stubborn he was, Shen Yuan's tone became heavier. "If Your Highness doesn't drink it, your stomach problem will get worse in the future, and you may have to drink more than just seven days' worth of medicine!"

Xie Chengze turned his head and said, "I already said I don't want to drink!"

The young man folded his arms with his hands, his attitude was very firm. Shen Yuan had said all kinds of good and bad things to feed him medicine in the past two days, and now he had lost his patience. He took three steps forward and grabbed Xie Chengze's hands to prevent him from escaping again.

He asked in a deep voice, his tone unspeakably dangerous, "You really don't want to drink?"

"No!" Xie Chengze continued to shout, relying on his superior status, and shouted at him, "What can you do to me!"

"Good, very good!" The man laughed angrily, with a deep dark color in his eyes. He bit open the lid of the water bag in his hand with force, lifted the water bag and tilted his head back to gulp down a mouthful of the medicine soup.

Xie Chengze:!!!

Damn it! Brother! It doesn’t have to be this bad!

Feeding people with medicine or something like that should be the treatment the heroine deserves!

Although this book does not have a female protagonist, but... Xie Chengze thought randomly, seeing Shen Yuan's lips loosen the mouth of the water bag, and the dark pupils revealed on the side of his face turned towards him one by one, Xie Chengze wanted to escape, but found that his hands had been captured by Shen Yuan and he couldn't break free at all.

He could only watch as Shen Yuan put down the water bag, slowly turned his raised head towards him, and then approached him little by little.

His eyes fixed on the pair of lips stained with a bit of dark medicine, Xie Chengze swallowed his saliva...

Kneel down directly.

"Brother! I was wrong!" Xie Chengze knelt down in the truest sense of the word, "I drink! I drink it myself!"

Shen Yuan:?

Shen Yuan swallowed the medicine and was surprised at Xie Chengze's sudden compromise.

Originally, he planned to take a sip first and then negotiate terms with Xie Chengze. For example, as long as Xie Chengze was willing to finish the medicine, he would suffer with him, even if it meant drinking twice the amount of medicine.

Unexpectedly, Xie Chengze suddenly compromised.

In the cold wind, the handsome young man trembled as he lifted the water bag. His fair face was wrinkled like a bun due to the bitterness. He swallowed the medicine in small sips. The tiny Adam's apple on his neck rolled like a pearl and finally fell into his flat belly, creating a burning and scalding hot stream.

After he finished drinking all the medicine, tears had seeped out of the corners of his eyes, which were made red by the passing winter wind, making him look particularly pitiful.

"I've finished drinking it." Xie Chengze handed the water bag to Shen Yuan. His nasal tone sounded a little heavy, as if he was a little aggrieved.

Shen Yuan took the water bag and shook it to confirm whether he had really drunk it all. Unexpectedly, this action made Xie Chengze feel wronged, which was more painful than taking bitter medicine. He shouted angrily, "Shen Yuan, you don't believe me again!"

"Since you stopped taking medicine and didn't pay attention to your health, my trust in Your Highness has plummeted." Shen Yuan smiled slightly, "I hope you can take medicine after dinner, otherwise..."

Xie Chengze immediately fell silent and lowered his head silently.

Shen Yuan! You are so shameless!
