Xiao Yi's cold expression instantly turned into one of concern.
"What happened to you like this?"
Duoduo looked extremely obedient. "I took a nap in the car, and when I woke up, I had a fever."
"How could you be so careless? Where are your medicines?" Xiao Yi inquired.
"Don't take the prescriptions prescribed by the imperial physicians." Xiao Yi didn't trust the imperial physicians.
After all, so many imperial physicians had treated his leg back then, but none of them had managed to cure it.
The imperial physicians in the palace all had their own backing forces.
Duoduo shook her head.
"I don't have any medicine for treating the common cold."
Duoduo added an extra explanation. "This kind of common illness has very common medicines."
Duoduo was only interested in medicines for all kinds of difficult and complicated diseases.
Xiao Yi was stunned for a moment, as if he remembered something.
He walked to the desk and started rummaging.
Before coming to the capital, Duoduo had made a lot of medicines.
There were those for treating diarrhea and those for treating the common cold.
Xiao Yi didn't need them, so after arriving in the capital, he had put them all together.
Sure enough, he found a small paper bag labeled "medicine for the common cold" among a pile of pills.
He took it to Duoduo. "See if this is the right medicine for your condition."
Duoduo took it and smelled it, then nodded obediently.
Xiao Yi went to the side to pour water for her. At this time, there came the sound of hasty footsteps outside the door.
Xiao Yi hooked his foot, and the wheelchair quickly slid in front of him. He sat on it.
Seeing this, Duoduo covered her mouth and secretly laughed.
Xiao Yi gave Duoduo a sidelong glance. Duoduo put down her hand and lowered her head, trying hard to hold back her laughter.
However, her shoulders still couldn't help shaking.
A faint smile also curled up on Xiao Yi's lips.
There was a knock on the door.
"Your Highness, it's me!" came Su Xian's anxious voice from outside the door.
"The servant said that Duoduo fainted. I'm worried, so I came to have a look."
Xiao Yi glanced at Duoduo, and Duoduo quickly lay down.
"Come in," Xiao Yi put down the cup.
The door opened, and Su Xian walked in quickly with a worried look on her face.
When she saw Duoduo sitting up just right, she quickly went over and sat down on the edge of the couch.
"Why did you faint all of a sudden?" Su Xian said as she reached out to feel Duoduo's forehead.
"How could it be so hot?" Su Xian was startled when she felt the temperature under her hand.
"Pingting, come and give the water to Duoduo and let her take the medicine," Xiao Yi ordered.
Hearing this, Su Xian quickly picked up the water and helped Duoduo sit up to take the medicine.
Duoduo leaned in Su Xian's arms and took the medicine.
Duoduo saw that a golden light was slowly descending, about to envelop her.
Duoduo waved her hand and dispelled the golden light.
It was the first time she felt the love from her parents. She was selfish and didn't want to get better so soon.
She was greedy for this warmth.
Su Xian wanted to put down the cup, but seeing Duoduo clinging to her affectionately.
Su Xian stroked Duoduo's forehead. It was still very hot.
"Your Highness, wasn't the imperial physician still here just now? How about inviting her to take a look at Duoduo?"
Xiao Yi wheeled his wheelchair over and took the cup from Su Xian's hand.
"I've already asked. But, don't you remember that Duoduo herself knows medicine?"
Su Xian hugged Duoduo worriedly.
"As the old saying goes, a doctor can't treat himself.
"How can Duoduo treat herself in this state?"
Xiao Yi glanced at Duoduo in Su Xian's arms. He saw through Duoduo's thoughts at a glance just now.
However, he didn't intend to expose her.
Because this was also his greatest wish when he was a child.
Being able to see Duoduo fulfill it was also a kind of compensation for his childhood self.
"An illness comes on like a landslide and goes away like pulling out silk. Naturally, it won't get better so quickly."
"Stay with her. I'll have someone make some food for her.
"She should haven't eaten yet."
As soon as Xiao Yi finished speaking, Duoduo's stomach growled.
Duoduo covered her stomach embarrassedly and looked at her parents.
"You're too obedient. Whatever Father says, you just do?"
Duoduo pointed at her stomach as if blaming it.
"Pfft! You child, you don't even know how to say if you're hungry," Su Xian said with a smile as she pinched Duoduo's cheek.
The corners of Xiao Yi's lips also curved up.
Xiao Yi was about to wheel his wheelchair out when Yunxiao's voice came from the door.
"Your Highness, Lüdou has brought food for the princess."
Xiao Yi nodded silently.
"Let her in."
The door opened, and Lüdou walked in carrying a tray.
She first saluted after entering the room, then said to Duoduo.
"Princess, you're ill, so I only cooked some porridge for you and asked the cook to stir - fry some small dishes."
After taking the medicine, Duoduo had some strength, but she was reluctant to leave Su Xian.
Seeing Duoduo's appearance, Su Xian felt very distressed.
"Come, give it to me."
She took the porridge from the tray. Lüdou stood aside with the tray in her hand.
Xiao Yi gave Duoduo a half - smiling look and wheeled his wheelchair to the desk.
Duoduo felt a little guilty. She always felt that Father seemed to have seen through her?
"Come, let mother feed you," Su Xian blew on the spoonful of porridge and offered it to Duoduo.
Duoduo obediently opened her mouth and ate the porridge.
"Have some vegetables too," Su Xian picked up the vegetables with chopsticks.
Duoduo also obediently ate them.
Su Xian fed her mouthfuls of rice and vegetables. She was worried that the porridge would be hot, so she would carefully blow on it first.
Every time Duoduo took a mouthful, she would give Su Xian an obedient smile.
Occasionally looking up from the desk, Xiao Yi saw such a scene of a kind - mother and a filial - child.
The corners of his lips couldn't help curving up.
Wasn't this the scene he had most longed for in his childhood?
He seemed to see his own shadow overlapping with Duoduo's.
Then he lowered his head and began to think.
The Magistrate of the Capital is Prince Xian's man. In order to get involved, he will definitely follow into the palace to plead with the Emperor.
If he guessed correctly, the Emperor would definitely hand this matter over to Prince Xian to handle.
Last time, Princess Consort Xian came to show her goodwill.
I wonder what Prince Xian will do this time?
While Xiao Yi was thinking about things here, Duoduo had already finished her meal there.
She not only finished the full bowl of porridge but also ate up all the vegetables.
Duoduo's stomach was so full that it hurt, but she still looked extremely obedient.
Su Xian felt a great sense of satisfaction.
It was the first time she had done this!
Well, feeding someone mouthful by mouthful was really fulfilling.
It's just that no matter how much she fed Duoduo, she just wouldn't get fat.
Su Xian took a handkerchief to wipe Duoduo's mouth and then gently stroked Duoduo's cheek.
"You child, why can't you ever get fat?
"There isn't a bit of flesh on your little face."
Duoduo obediently smiled, showing her little front teeth. "I'm like mother. No matter how much I eat, I won't get fat."
Su Xian burst into laughter immediately.
"What? Did they add sugar to today's porridge? Your words are so sweet."
Duoduo's eyes curved into slits with laughter.
"Mother must have added sugar!"
Seeing the mother and daughter joking, Xiao Yi said, "Pingting, Duoduo isn't feeling well. Let her lie down for a while."
Su Xian nodded. "Then mother will go back first. I'll come back when you wake up."
Duoduo nodded, looking at Su Xian with attachment as she left.
"Alright, don't just lie there. Get up and walk around to help digestion!"
