Chapter 385: Unchanged Expression
It was impossible for him to persuade her anymore and he could only hope that she would accept it.
He left a prescription and gave a few instructions, asking them to get some herbs for him, then left with his small wooden box.
After the doctor left, Zhou Zhewen rushed over after hearing the news. Seeing Mu Ruixi still lying on the hospital bed, he anxiously asked, "What's going on? Are you saying she's sick? Was she murdered? Please ask the doctor to come over quickly."
"The doctor just came to see me and said it was a cold. He said he would be fine after a rest." Mu Ruixi quickly grabbed him.
"What can I say? I was planning to let you handle it yourself, but who knew that this matter has not yet come to a conclusion. It's you who is sick." Zhou Zhewen said disapprovingly.
Lin Muwen naturally noticed Mu Ruixi's behavior. He thought he could let Mu Ruixi let go of the grudge in her heart and forget about her, but he didn't expect that just one day later, she fell ill in bed.
At this time, Ping'an also woke up. Every day when he woke up, Mu Ruixi was with him, but when he woke up, he did not see his mother, which made him a little unhappy.
With an expressionless face, she asked the nanny to help her tidy up her clothes, and then went to Mu Ruixi's room.
He didn't see any instructions, so he spread his legs and rushed into the room. Seeing this, the wet nurse beside him turned pale and thought that someone inside blamed her for not understanding the rules.
The moment he saw Mu Ruixi, his originally unhappy expression instantly turned into worry. He had never seen Mu Ruixi before, and he just felt that Mu Ruixi felt that he had grown up and didn't like him anymore, so she wanted him to learn to take care of himself.
But unexpectedly, his mother fell ill.
"Mother, mother, are you okay? Are you feeling uncomfortable?" Ping'an rushed to Mu Ruixi's bedside with a worried look on his face.
Seeing Ping An like this, Mu Ruixi showed a gentle smile on her face and said softly, "Okay, you have to listen to me. I'm not feeling well. Why don't you let Mammy take you to breakfast? I'm afraid you'll get sick. If you do, it will be Mother's fault."
As she said this, she asked the nanny to take her away.
Ping An also cooperated and followed, and said as he walked, "Mother, you can recover from your injuries first so that I can stay by your side with peace of mind."
When Mu Ruixi heard her own childish words, she felt her heart melt. If she didn't have such a little guy, she would have died long ago. Thinking of this, her hatred for the man deepened.
Zhou Zhewen naturally would not understand Mu Ruixi's thoughts at this time. His eyes fell on Mu Ruixi, who was pale and asked softly, "Have you eaten?"
"I haven't finished it yet. I'll have someone make some for you. Didn't you just get out of court? You probably didn't even have time to have breakfast, so you asked a few maids to sleep with you. I don't know when I can recover from this illness. It would be terrible if I infect you." Mu Ruixi saw that Zhou Zhewen was still wearing a court robe and looked like he had just arrived.
"What are you talking about? I'm in good health. I'll ask someone to make a pot of rice porridge. Since you're sick, you should eat more easily digestible food." Zhou Zhewen ignored Mu Ruixi's words and called a maid to ask her to make a pot of porridge.
Mu Ruixi wanted to say something, but Zhou Zhewen glared at her and she swallowed her words immediately. She was really grateful to the man in front of her. It was he who gave them a life of luxury and the best learning environment.
"Thank you."
Zhou Zhewen was startled by Mu Ruixi's words, then smiled nonchalantly and said, "Don't say that. You should just take good care of yourself."
After Lin Muwen finished his breakfast, he waited outside Mu Ruixi's courtyard, hoping to see her again. However, he waited for most of the day but still didn't see Mu Ruixi. He just stood there, not knowing what was going on. After all, this was the Western Court, and it was not easy for him, an outsider, to get close.
Later, she finally couldn't help it. She grabbed a passing maid and asked, "What's going on? Why are everyone so anxious?"
The maid was startled when she saw the person coming. After seeing who it was, she bowed and said, "It's Concubine Jin who is ill. Your Majesty is in the courtyard. Let's go and boil some herbs for her."
Lin Mu was very worried when he heard that Mu Ruixi was sick, but he didn't know how to get into the room. He turned his head and looked at the little guy sitting in the yard with a book in his hand, muttering something. He knew he remembered it wrong, but for some reason, he always felt it was familiar.
That is their son, carrying their blood and a part of their lives.
But then he thought, after she left last night, Mu Ruixi fell ill. Could it be that she caught a cold last night? It was all because of him. If it weren't for him, she wouldn't have been sick. Thinking of this, he felt even more guilty.
He stood not far from her, observing those who were coming in and out, and from time to time he caught a little eunuch and a maid to come over and ask about her condition.
Especially when he said the name "Empress Jin", his heart felt even more bitter, because he, his wife had become a concubine of another country.
Until the evening, Lin Muwen had not seen Mu Ruixi, and Zhou Zhewen had not left his courtyard. This made him extremely envious, and he wished he was the one with Zhou Zhewen.
For several days, Lin Muwen had not seen Mu Ruixi, but only occasionally heard some things about him from the palace maids who came and went.
At noon today, after lunch, Mu Ruixi was preparing to take a walk in the imperial garden with her close servants, because the imperial doctors all said that they could not stay in the palace all day, as that would not be conducive to physical recovery.
Mu Ruixi was really bored these days, so she followed the doctor's advice and went for a walk in the royal garden to relax.
After hearing what Mu Ruixi said, Lin Mu immediately chased after her.
The maids behind were also a little surprised when they saw Lin Mu chasing after them after hearing the sound. How could Mu Ruixi not know about such a big move, but she pretended that she saw nothing and treated it as if it didn't exist.
However, Lin Muwen still called her.
"Xixi, can you speak with a step?" Lin Muwen, after seeing Mu Ruixi several feet away, he smiled bitterly.
As for the palace maids and eunuchs around Su Ji Le, at this moment they just wished they were deaf and blind, unable to see or hear.
Lin Muwen, Mu Ruixi stopped and turned to look at Lin Muwen, with her face still not changing.
"You can leave now. I think we have nothing more to say."
As she spoke, Mu Ruixi was about to leave. Lin Muwen hurried forward and grabbed her sleeve.
The palace maids and eunuchs watching this scene could hardly believe their eyes. Concubine Jin was too bold. If the emperor found out that she was having an affair with another man, how many people would die?
