He knew that his beloved was right outside the door.
Chapter 551 Are You Awake?
Su Fuliu stopped at the door and did not go any further.
Qin Shi heard the familiar sound of bells and unconsciously clenched his fists.
Su Fuliu paced back and forth inside the door, knowing that his Tinglang would definitely be able to hear him.
Every ring of the bell was his lover telling him he loved him, but wasn't every ring also his lover telling his lover he loved him?
Outside the door, Qin Shi clenched his fists tightly, trying not to let his emotions show.
He stood there motionless, yet he already understood the meaning behind Su Fuliu pacing back and forth at the door.
Tired from walking, Su Fuliu sat down on the ground, leaning against the wall next to the door.
"Tinglang, I'm fine, I'm doing well, I can handle it, don't worry, don't be sad, I'll take good care of myself, and you should too, take good care of yourself."
Su Fuliu seemed to be talking to herself, but she was actually speaking to Qin Shi outside the door.
He knew Qin Shi could hear him.
After he finished speaking, he sat there quietly, closed his eyes and imagined his son, Tinglang, sitting beside him.
When Xiao Shixun arrived, he saw Su Fuliu sleeping on the ground by the door and was taken aback.
Then, he bent down and picked up Su Fuliu.
Su Fuliu let out a soft moan: "Tinglang..."
Xiao Shixun frowned, picked up Su Fuliu and went to the small hot spring pool in the warm pavilion, then put Su Fuliu directly into the hot spring pool.
Her clothes were instantly soaked, and Su Fuliu woke up with a start.
Fortunately, it was hot spring water, so it wasn't cold at all.
But the moment he woke up, he accidentally slipped into the water and choked on several mouthfuls of water.
"Cough, cough, cough..." Su Fuliu struggled to get up. He was already coughing, but after choking on some water, he coughed even more violently, and his fair face turned red instantly.
"Are you awake, Jing'er?" Xiao Shixun finally spoke.
"I'm perfectly sober!" Su Fuliu said, sitting in the hot spring pool, and then coughed a few more times.
"Is that so? Then who am I?" Xiao Shixun asked again.
"Xiao Shixun!"
However, after hearing this answer, Xiao Shixun also sat down in the hot spring pool. He reached out and removed the wet white veil from Su Fuliu's eyes, and said, "Call me Xunlang!"
"..." Su Fuliu didn't want to pay attention to him, so she turned around.
But Xiao Shixun grabbed his shoulders and pressed him against the wall of the hot spring pool.
Su Fuliu groaned as her back slammed against the edge of the hot spring pool, causing her pain.
He frowned and glared at Xiao Shixun, but when he saw the strange look in Xiao Shixun's eyes, he immediately looked away.
Lu Chimo once said that you can't go against Xiao Shixun at times like this, otherwise you'll be the one who suffers.
Although he had already administered acupuncture to Xiao Shixun, rendering him impotent, there was no guarantee that Xiao Shixun wouldn't use other methods to torture him.
Moreover, while it felt good to give Xiao Shixun acupuncture, he forgot that if Xiao Shixun found that he couldn't get up on his own, he would definitely guess that he had done something to him.
What will he do when Xiao Shixun becomes enraged?
Su Fuliu looked at Xiao Shixun in fear: "Xiao... Xiao Shixun, you said you wouldn't touch me."
He remembered this sentence well; he had said it once before, and now he was bringing it up again, hoping it would work.
Xiao Shixun stared intently at Su Fuliu, his eyes blazing with emotion. He moved closer to Su Fuliu, touching his neck with one hand and reaching into the water with the other to hook his leg, then grabbing his ankle.
Su Fuliu panicked and struggled to push Xiao Shixun away, but then she heard Xiao Shixun say, "I won't touch you, Jing'er, why don't you touch me?"
Chapter 552 You're a madman
Su Fuliu looked at Xiao Shixun with great surprise. He couldn't understand how someone as possessive as Xiao Shixun could be willing to be subordinate.
He wasn't naive enough to think that Xiao Shixun's actions were motivated by love.
"Jing'er, don't you want to give it a try?" Xiao Shixun leaned close to Su Fuliu's ear and said in an extremely ambiguous tone when Su Fuliu remained silent for a long time.
"If you don't want to, get away from me." Su Fuliu pushed Xiao Shixun away. Actually, he wanted to curse him with "disgusting," but he was afraid that if he said something too harsh, it would provoke Xiao Shixun and cause him trouble.
"Why don't you want to?" Xiao Shixun grabbed Su Fuliu's wrist and pulled him back into his arms. "I'm handing this to you so you can touch it, and you won't? Do you really enjoy being touched by Feng Muting?"
Su Fuliu couldn't hold back any longer. Why did Xiao Shixun have to do this?
"Yes, I like Tinglang, I love Tinglang, I only want to be with Tinglang, I only want Tinglang to touch me, do you understand? Do you get it?!"
Looking at Su Fuliu, who seemed to despise him so much, and hearing Su Fuliu constantly referring to him as "Tinglang," Xiao Shixun became furious: "I don't believe you won't react!"
As he spoke, he reached his right hand into the water, into a place he shouldn't have gone.
"You're a madman, Xiao Shixun! You're a complete madman! You disgust me! Get away from me!" Su Fuliu pushed Xiao Shixun away again with all her might.
"Yes, I am disgusting, so disgusting that everyone despises me, but you can't, you are the only one who can't disgust me. I know that only when we are together will you stop disgusting me. If you don't want to touch me, I will naturally find a way to make you want to touch me."
As he spoke, Xiao Shixun pinched Su Fuliu's cheek again, took out a pill from his body, stuffed it into his mouth, and forced him to swallow it.
Su Fuliu knew without a doubt that this was no good. He immediately pushed Xiao Shixun away, then bent down and used his fingers to gag his throat, trying to vomit the pill out.
But it was too late; the pill had already slipped into her stomach and taken effect within a few breaths.
Seeing that his eyes were becoming glazed over, Xiao Shixun leaned closer and said, "Jing'er, are you feeling unwell? Let me help you..."
"Get out...!!!" The usually mild-mannered Su Fuliu had never roared like this before. Even in the most painful times, he would only scream in despair.
This was the first time he had ever said that word, and he was saying it in such a broken tone.
Seeing that Su Fuliu was angry, Xiao Shixun was no longer angry. He didn't believe that Su Fuliu could still hold back.
But he never expected that Su Fuliu would so resolutely ram her head against the edge of the hot spring pool, and her blood immediately stained the hot spring water red.
Su Fuliu's body went limp and he collapsed into the hot spring pool. Just as he was about to be submerged, Xiao Shixun snapped out of his daze and quickly pulled him out of the water.
Xiao Shixun carried the soaking wet Su Fuliu out of the hot spring and ran towards the door. Once there, he shouted, "Yuan Sichen, call the imperial physician!"
Yuan Sichen left immediately, and Qin Shi, hearing Xiao Shixun's panicked voice, felt a pang in his heart. What happened to A-Liu?!
He had vaguely heard arguing inside earlier. Could it be that Xiao Shixun was provoked and hit A-Liu?
Qin Shi was filled with resentment. Although he had followed the others, he could not help A Liu at all when he saw her suffering. In order to avoid being discovered, he could only grit his teeth and stand still each time.
Chapter 553 Who are you?
Soon Yuan Sichen brought Physician Xing over.
Although Physician Xing was getting on in years, the thought of Su Fuliu's accident kept him moving much faster than Yuan Sichen.
When they reached the entrance of the warm pavilion, Yuan Sichen stopped, and Physician Xing went into the warm pavilion alone.
Xiao Shixun had already helped Su Fuliu change out of her wet clothes, but the blood on Su Fuliu's forehead was still flowing, and he couldn't stop it.
When Physician Xing saw this scene, his old heart nearly stopped from fright.
He quickly picked up his medicine box, panting, and hurried to the bedside: "Your Majesty, please step aside, this humble subject will treat the young master's wounds immediately."
Xiao Shixun glanced at Physician Xing. If it were any other time, he would definitely be unhappy if someone dared to speak to him like that.
But seeing Su Fuliu in such a state, he didn't care and stepped aside to watch Physician Xing treat Su Fuliu's wounds, stop the bleeding, and bandage her.
When Physician Xing left, an hour had already passed. Qin Shi watched as Physician Xing came out carrying a medicine box and a pile of blood-stained gauze, and his breath caught in his throat.
Yuan Sichen coughed lightly, seemingly unintentionally.
But Qin Shi looked away after hearing that dry cough.
Xiao Shixun sat by the bed, looking at the unconscious Su Fuliu. He held Su Fuliu's hand, unable to speak for a long time.
He never expected that Su Fuliu would rather smash her head and faint than touch him.
What's so great about Feng Muting? Xiao Shijing has only known Feng Muting for a short time, while he and Xiao Shijing have known each other since childhood.
Although he had never had any contact with Xiao Shijing since childhood, he would always secretly watch Xiao Shijing from the shadows.
Xiao Shijing was like a shining sun, bringing light and warmth wherever he went.
Everyone likes Xiao Shijing and wants to be around him.
He was like a plague god; everyone avoided him.
Only Xiao Shijing did not avoid him, and it was at that time that he became even more determined to keep Xiao Shijing by his side for the rest of his life.
Xiao Shixun stayed by Su Fuliu's side until dawn.
However, Su Fuliu still hadn't woken up by daybreak.
Xiao Shixun, who still had matters to attend to, had no choice but to have the imperial physician stay by his side, and he would come over after he finished his work.
The physicians who came were still Imperial Physician Xing, Imperial Physician Zhang, and Imperial Physician Qu
They stood by the bedside, looking at the unconscious Su Fuliu, their eyes filled with heartache.
"The poor Crown Prince has suffered greatly," Imperial Physician Qu sighed softly.
"Your Highness is covered in wounds..." Imperial Physician Xing wiped away a tear.
"When will this end?" Imperial Physician Zhang shook his head and said.
Just then, Su Fuliu coughed lightly and woke up from his coma. He opened his eyes, stared blankly at the ceiling, and didn't react for a long time.
Seeing him like this, Imperial Physician Xing quickly went over to take his pulse and whispered, "Your Highness?"
Su Fuliu then turned to look at them, a strange glint in her clear eyes.
When Xiao Shixun returned, he heard Su Fuliu crying as soon as he entered the warm pavilion. He was slightly taken aback and then quickened his pace to go over.
Su Fuliu was sitting on the ground, seemingly throwing a tantrum: "I want to go out and play, don't stop me!"
Xiao Shixun was taken aback again, then walked up to him, looked at him sitting on the ground, and asked, "Jing'er, what's wrong?"
