C84 Febrile Illness

Yu Sheng followed what the Spirit Swirl said and nodded his head with all his might. He raised his sleeves and covered his face as he began to sob softly.

Qiao Ruo Ying looked at the two little imps making a ruckus but didn't point it out. She said, "That's right father, if little sister wakes up and these two children aren't here, they will definitely be worried. Don't worry, I'm here."

Qiao Zheng glared at Qiao Ruoyin, his tone filled with distrust, "You're the only one I'm worried about."

Hearing that, Qiao Ruo Ying kept rolling her eyes.

Qiao Linjing, who was feeling feverish in his bed, almost couldn't hold back his laughter when he heard their conversation. He forcefully swallowed his laughter back into his stomach.

However, his body was getting hotter and hotter. Qiao Liangjin sighed in his heart. Sure enough, he had caught a cold.

They stayed up late into the night and watched as Yu Sheng and Ling Xuan fell asleep. Qiao Zheng and Qiao Ruo Ying were repeatedly persuaded by the maids and returned to rest.

Dai Li used a cold handkerchief to place on Qiao Liangjin's forehead and grumbled softly, "Miss, why do you have to go through so much trouble? "To be able to injure themselves like this, the servants really feel uncomfortable in their hearts."

Qiao Liangjin could feel that his mind was in a mess, as if those sounds were far, far away from him. She only tried her best to raise the corners of her lips. She wanted to smile, but then she fell into a deep sleep.

Pink put her hand on Qiao Liangjin's forehead and exclaimed, "Oh god, why is the temperature of the young lady getting hotter and hotter?"

Violet Smoke brought the fried medicinal juice, wanting to pour it into Qiao Liangjin's mouth. Unfortunately, Qiao Liangjin could not help but feel the strong medicinal smell and subconsciously closed his lips.

Purple Smoke and Dai Di were already sweating profusely, but not a single drop of medicinal juice was poured into their bodies.

The door was lightly opened, and after Violet Smoke and Muse heard the sound, they thought it was Rulan. They said, "Ruo Lan, come quickly and help. Young Miss is not willing to drink any medicine."

A burst of rosin fragrance assaulted his nostrils and a tall figure sat down on the edge of the bed.

Zi Yan and Cai Di were stunned. Looking at the uninvited guest in front of them, the Seventh Prince cleared his throat.

Who would have thought that the Seventh Prince would come in the middle of the night?

After clearing up, she directly took the bowl from Zi Yan's hand and said with an extremely soft voice, "You can all go rest. I'll be fine here."

Zi Yan and Muse looked at each other for a moment before they silently left the room.

Qing Shui held the medicinal juice in one hand and looked at Qiao Liangjin, whose cheeks had turned red because of the fever. He shook his head slightly and said, "You really know how to mess with yourself."

After that, he helped Qiao Liangjin up and leaned against his body. He held the medicine bowl and was about to feed it to her. Qiao Liangjin took a whiff of the medicine and frowned, then he turned his head away in an attempt to avoid the smell.

"He's pretty stubborn." After clearing her smile, he lightly pinched her lower jaw and poured the medicinal juice into her mouth.

Qiao Liangjin's face instantly turned bitter as he unwillingly drank the medicine.

She gently put Qiao Liangjin down and then threw the bowl to the side. The bowl landed on the table and didn't even make a sound.

Looking at Qiao Liangjin's bitter face, Qing Shui placed his slender finger on her pulse and slowly channeled the true energy within his body into her body. Strangely, there was a wave of domineering true energy within Qiao Liangjin's body.

Qing Shui felt a little strange. What kind of inner force did Qiao Liangjin practice? How could his true qi be so pure and tyrannical?

After cleaning and drying the handkerchief, he placed it neatly on Qiao Liangjin's forehead. He took good care of it for the entire night until it was almost daybreak. After thinking that it was about time for the imperial court, he finally left.

Qiao Liangjin could vaguely feel a red figure at the door swaying a little. She smiled, it seemed like she had a fever of her own, why did she see that sullen look on her face again? She thought for a moment, then turned around and went back to sleep.

After sleepily sleeping for another day, she felt someone walking away from the bed, drank the bitter medicinal juice and then fed her the light rice porridge.

Finally on the third day, she opened her eyes and sat up. She stretched her body and said with a hoarse voice, "I really rested for a long time this time."

Pai Dai, who was napping at the side, heard Qiao Liangjin's voice. She stood up in joy and staggered towards the door, shouting, "Miss, you're awake! Miss, you're awake!"

For the past few days, Qiao Zheng would head straight to the Flower Golden Pavilion to stay with his son until nightfall. Today, the same thing was true as soon as he entered the yard, Ah Bai came over and greeted him, "Master, the little miss has woken up."

Qiao Zheng was overjoyed as he hurriedly entered the room, thinking that Qiao Liangjin was still lying on the bed. Unexpectedly, Qiao Liangjin had already gotten up and was moving his body up and down. He frowned and said, "I've only just woken up. How did he get up?"

Qiao Liangjin had already heard that Qiao Zheng had been taking care of him for the past few days. He obediently sat on the chair and smiled. "I feel very good already. I have made you worry for the past few days because your daughter is unfilial."

Seeing the drastic change in her once domineering daughter, Qiao Zheng felt a wave of gratification in his heart. Sitting opposite Qiao Liangjin, he carefully sized up Qiao Liangjin's pale face and asked: "Are you still feeling well? A headache? Is the fever gone? "

Qiao Ruo Ying, who was carrying a pot of soup, kicked open the door and walked in carelessly. When she saw Qiao Zheng, her face stiffened as she laughed dryly, "Father, you're here."

Qiao Zheng frowned as he looked at Qiao Ruoyin, wanting to reprimand her for her rude behaviour but the words that came out of his mouth were another sentence. "Who are you?"

"The chicken soup was prepared by Third Madame. She told me to bring it over." Qiao Ruo Ying placed the chicken soup on the table, then obediently stood at the side and blinked her eyes at Qiao Liangjin.

Qiao Zheng coughed twice as Qiao Liangjin immediately sat down beside Qiao Zheng. Purple smoke had already brought three bowls over and placed them on the table.

Qiao Liangjin scooped up three bowls of soup, then patted the stool beside him and said, "Brother, you should sit as well."

Qiao Ruo Ying sat beside Qiao Liangjin with her hands on her knees, scratching and scratching. It had been a long time since he and Qiao Zheng had been like this; because of their mischievousness, they were always accused of it. Thus, whenever they met Qiao Zheng, they had to hide as far away as possible.

Qiao Liangjin smiled charmingly and said: "These past few days, it's been really hard on dad and brother. I'm fine now, you guys don't have to worry." "Father, you are too strict with your big brother. Look at your big brother, he is so nervous even in the same room as you."

Qiao Zheng swept his gaze over Qiao Ruoyin and gave a muffled grunt.

Qiao Ruoyin's cheeks turned slightly red. She picked up the bowl and quickly took two sips, "Sister, the taste is really good. Third Aunt's culinary skills and Mother's culinary skills are really the same."

When these words came out, the three of them froze in place. How long had it been since this family mentioned the great wife who had passed away many years ago?

After a long while, Qiao Liangjin said with a hoarse voice: "Really? "Then I have to try it. It's been a long time since I've had Mother's stewed soup." As he finished speaking, his eyes turned slightly red.

Qiao Zheng looked at the pair of children in front of him and knew in his heart that they must be missing their mother. Sighing, he raised his bowl and drank a mouthful of chicken soup before placing it on the table and saying: "Next month is your mother's birthday. Go to your mother's grave."

Silence descended upon the room once again. Yuesheng, who was sleeping on the beauty bed, woke up and wrinkled her nose. She shouted loudly, "Wow, chicken soup! Mother, why didn't you wake us up?"

Dai Di quickly brought two more bowls of chicken soup and placed them on the table.

As for Yu Sheng, he sat down beside the table with a smile on his face, holding onto his spiritual whirlpool. His almond-shaped eyes were rolling as he stared at the three people before him.

Something was not right, this atmosphere was too strange. Why was the eyes of the woman who usually would not cry red today? There was also the thick-skinned Qiao Ruoying. Her expression was also very strange today.

He delicately asked, "Grandfather, what happened to you?"

Qiao Zheng's heart warmed at Yu Sheng's call for his grandfather and his voice grew gentler. "One day, I'll bring you to see your grandmother."

Suddenly, he thought of the fact that there was no chicken in Spirit Swirl's bowl. He then fished out another chicken leg and placed it in Spirit Swirl's bowl, muttering, "Don't say that I did not take care of you, just a chicken leg, I gave you one."

Qiao Zheng rubbed his chin and laughed: "Haha, since you guys like to eat the food that Guo Caiting cooks, then in the future you can often call her to cook."

Qiao Liangjin frowned and shook his head, "Father, you can't. Do you know that Aunt's body is very bad?"

"The doctor told me that she had a cold that went down to her bones and needed to be taken care of. I don't plan to let the mother and daughter return to the mountain to live. Cai Ting has always followed Jing Shu, so she can more or less take care of you two siblings. "

"Father, if I tell you that not only did Third Madame suffer from bone-chilling cold, but she was also poisoned, would you believe me?" Qiao Liangjin's gaze dropped and he subconsciously lowered his head. As if he had made up his mind, he raised it and stared at Qiao Zheng as he spoke.

Qiao Zheng's graceful and calm demeanor seemed to be disrupted by these words as dark clouds seemed to slowly rise up in his eyes.

"If I were to tell you that I was forced into the pool by Qiao Yin and Qiao Ya, would you believe me?"

"Finally, I'll tell you one last time. Back then, it was also Qiao Ya and Qiao Yue-er who had caused Qiao Si Yuan to fall into the water. Would you still believe it?"

Qiao Zheng's fist suddenly clenched. The dark clouds in his eyes were darker than the sky, rolling and churning as if they brought with them strong gales and raging waves.

Qiao Liangjin suddenly broke into a cold smile, "Dad, if you think that all of this is just a coincidence, then your daughter has nothing to say."

"I understand. Jin'er, rest well first. I'm a bit tired, so I'll go back first." Qiao Zheng interrupted Qiao Liangjin's words, stood up and left the restaurant in a hurry.

Yu Sheng gazed at Qiao Zheng's departing back and shook his head. "I say, master, you really put in a lot of effort. What are you trying to do?"

Hearing Qiao Liangjin's repeated questions, Qiao Ruo Ying was dumbstruck. It was only when Qiao Zheng left and Yu Sheng asked that he retracted his train of thought.
