CH 5

Why did he suddenly have a high fever?

Fu Nianchi looked at Ye Canglan, his brow was sweating anxiously.

Is it because he snatched the quilt? But it should be only midnight, they haven’t slept for long, and the charcoal stove is still burning in the house, so it’s not cold at all!

Or did the maidservants come in and out yesterday, accidentally bringing in the cool air from outside?

There is no point in entangled with why Ye Canglan has a fever, the most urgent thing is to get the condition under control as soon as possible.

With Ye Canglan’s physical condition, if he burned overnight, he would probably die.

A rather dark idea suddenly popped up in Fu Nianchi’s mind.

——If Ye Canglan dies like this, does it mean that his crisis will be completely resolved in the future?

But on the wedding night, King Zhao died of a high fever on the bed. No matter how you think, as a person who shares the same bed, it is impossible for him to escape unscathed.

Fu Nianchi took a deep breath. Anyway, now that he has entered the book world, these characters are no longer paper figures to him.

Their life and death should not be treated simply as NPCs.

Fu Nianchi grabbed the handkerchief and first wiped off the sweat from Ye Canglan’s face and neck. There should be heater under the blanket, so he got inside and took out the heater.

Ye Canglan sweated too much, the first thing to do is to avoid the risk of dehydration.

Fu Nianchi got out of bed and brought the teapot. He half hugged Ye Canglan, who was almost unconscious, to sit up and feed him water.

But Ye Canglan couldn’t cooperate at all, Fu Nianchi pinched his cheek with one hand, and poked the teapot spout into Ye Canglan’s mouth.

–drink!

The spout of the gold-plated teapot was smashed into his mouth, Ye Canglan was obviously very uncomfortable, his brows were furrowed, and he wanted to turn his head to hide, but Fu Nianchi pinched his face tightly, so he was forced to swallow the water.

After filling half a pot of water, Fu Nianchi finally let go. He quickly wiped the corners of Ye Canglan’s wet lips and chin… Then what?

What to do next?

Normally, he would look for antipyretics and antipyretic plasters. For a serious case like Ye Canglan, he would be sent directly to the emergency department of the hospital to hang a bottle.

Fu Nianchi was confused, so he decided to call someone over.

He hurriedly got off the ground, came to the door barefoot, and whispered to the maidservant who was watching the night outside: “Prince has a fever.”

The drowsy maidservant immediately shuddered: ” Maidservant will go and invite the imperial physician!”

The entire Prince Zhao’s mansion was alarmed, and immediately there were more than a dozen maids and servants waiting eagerly outside the bridal chamber.

There is an imperial physician stationed in Prince Zhao’s Mansion, so that he can see Ye Canglan who is in an unstable condition at any time. Soon the white-bearded imperial physician rushed to Ye Canglan’s bedside.

Fu Nianchi stood aside anxiously, thinking that no matter how good the imperial doctor was, he wouldn’t be able to see that he robbed Ye Canglan of the quilt to make King Zhao so hot, right?

The imperial doctor frowned, feeling Ye Canglan’s pulse, and after a while, got up and opened Ye Canglan’s eyelids, frowning even tighter.

“How is it?” Fu Nianchi asked weakly, “Just now I gave the prince some water.”

“Deficient in energy, exhausted from exhaustion.” The imperial physician raised his head and asked Fu Nianchi, “Is the prince overthinking recently?”

“Ah?” Fu Nianchi wondered, Ye Canglan could be overthinking, he is a god who descended to the earth to cross the tribulation, at most he was thinking about when he could go back, right?

“It seems not.” Fu Nianchi replied honestly, “He was in good spirits during the medicinal bath in the afternoon.”

The imperial physician nodded, pondered for a moment, and said with a serious expression: “That’s because of sexual indiscretion, kidney qi is exhausted.”

Fu Nianchi: “??”

Maid servants: “…”

I-intercourse?

No, seriously? Uncle, you are a doctor!!

Can you not be so sure and come to such an outrageous conclusion!

All of a sudden, the eyes of everyone in the room looked at Fu Nianchi changed. The weird eyes were mixed with various complex emotions, even awe.

A few secret gazes lingered behind Fu Nianchi, he got up in a hurry, wearing only his inner jacket, the boy’s waistline was clearly visible in the loose robe.

——The rumors about the four young masters of the Fu family being hungry and thirsty are indeed true. They deserve to be the ones who can scare the champion of martial arts to the point of actively guarding the border, but they can torture the prince into such a state in just the middle of the night!

If the incident hadn’t happened tonight, wouldn’t this Fourth Young Master Fu have squeezed the prince dry?

Fu Nianchi petrified in place, and suddenly thought that he was some kind of male vixen, who ruthlessly picked Ye Canglan on the first night of their wedding.

He just felt that his whole face was burning hot, what was it all about! How did you conclude that it was because of intercourse!

They just met for the first time today! The relationship is so pure that you haven’t even touched your hands, okay?

Oh no, he touched Ye Canglan’s chest.

But that’s not important!

I am wronged!!

Physician Chang stood up and said respectfully: “The old minister will go to prescribe the prescription. The prince has been ill for a long time and cannot have intercourse. The princess must pay attention in the future. Take good care of the prince in the past few days, so as not to let him suffer from the cold again.”

Fu Nianchi: “Oh…oh.”

The imperial physician left, and there was a dead silence in the bridal chamber.

Fu Nianchi bit the bullet and ordered, “Bring another quilt.”

The maids quickly brought over the quilt, and Fu Nianchi sat by the bed, restlessly waiting for the boiled medicine to arrive.

At this moment, Ye Canglan groaned slightly.

Fu Nianchi hurried over, only to hear a weak voice from Ye Canglan’s mouth: “Pee… pee.”

Oh, you want to pee!

Fu Nianchi hurried to get the chamber pot. In ancient times, it was cold in winter, and going to the bathroom was equivalent to being tortured. Therefore, both high-ranking officials and ordinary people would use the chamber pot.

“Can you get up?” Fu Nianchi asked in a low voice.

Ye Canglan opened his eyes with difficulty, and nodded slowly.

Fu Nianchi heaved a sigh of relief. He was already mentally prepared to let Ye Canglan solve it in bed if he couldn’t afford it. As far as he knew, many masters in ancient times were directly served by their wives and concubines and solved it directly on the bed.

Fu Nianchi helped Ye Canglan get up, and put the chamber pot on the stool.

The maid came forward and wanted to help.

But Ye Canglan said: “You… all go out.”

The maidservants gave Fu Nianchi a few worried looks, as if they were worried that he would take advantage of this opportunity to do something ulterior to Ye Canglan.

But still respectfully exited the bridal chamber.

Fu Nianchi supported Ye Canglan when he heard him whisper hoarsely, “Thank you for your hard work.”

“It’s all what I should do.” Fu Nianchi’s forehead was dripping with cold sweat. If Ye Canglan knew that he was sick like this because he robbed the quilt, he probably wouldn’t have such a good attitude.

He let Ye Canglan’s weight rest on him, turned his face to the side, and didn’t look at it.

Not long after, Fu Nianchi heard the sound of water, and Ye Canglan couldn’t use his strength, but he was still tense, as if… not embarrassed?

All in all, it was very embarrassing.

After Ye Canglan finished solving his needs, Fu Nianchi helped him back to the bed before asking the people waiting outside to clean up.

The medicinal soup has also been cooked and brought over. A large bowl of soup exuding a strong bitter taste made Fu Nianchi want to vomit just holding it in his hand.

Fortunately, he wasn’t the one who wanted to drink it.

The soup bowl came close to him, Ye Canglan’s whole face was wrinkled, he turned his head to avoid the bitter taste of the medicinal soup subconsciously.

Fu Nianchi began to feed Ye Canglan medicine: “Husband, drink it, you will be fine after drinking the medicine.”

Fu Nianchi used a spoon, and a shallow spoon can only hold a small amount of medicine at a time.

In fact, if you drink Chinese medicine, you have to pinch your nose and drink it all in one breath. After all, long-term pain is worse than short-term pain.

Drinking with a spoon is equivalent to prolonging the torture process without limit.

Ye Canglan’s throat moved, he raised his limp hand, took the medicine bowl, took a deep breath——

Then he raised his head and drank it all in one gulp.

“vomit–“

Ye Canglan swallowed the last mouthful of medicine, and immediately lay down beside the bed, retching crazily.

Fu Nianchi hurriedly got water and candy, seeing Ye Canglan’s distressed appearance, he couldn’t help feeling pity in his heart.

What a pity…

——It’s just that Ye Canglan has been ill for a long time, shouldn’t she be used to drinking medicine long ago? Why is there such a big reaction?

Doubt flashed through Fu Nianchi’s mind.

Before he had time to think about it, he seized the opportunity and stuffed the candy into Ye Canglan’s mouth.

The bitter taste in her nose and mouth was driven away by the sweetness, and Ye Canglan finally got better.

He straightened up again, and slid weakly into the quilt, like a loach about to be steamed.

Fu Nianchi packed up his things, the sky outside the window was already getting dark.

…Let’s rest for a while, Ye Canglan drank the medicine, the situation should stabilize.

Fu Nianchi lay down beside him silently, raised his hand after a long while, and gently placed it on Ye Canglan’s forehead.

It’s still burning, but it doesn’t seem to be that bad.

Fu Nianchi heaved a sigh of relief.

He has been doing his best to take care of Ye Canglan tonight, and the other party is watching him, which should make his life easier in the future.

It’s just that Fu Nianchi was a little guilty.

Ye Canglan burned like this must be the reason because he grabbed the quilt.

Fortunately, there is another quilt, and the same accident will not happen again.

While in thought, it took a long time for Fu Nianchi to barely fall asleep again.

When he woke up again, it was already bright outside.

Ye Canglan was still in a sleeping. Fu Nianchi touch him, and fortunately, the fever subsided.

Fu Nianchi heaved a sigh of relief, followed by a sense of sadness in his heart.

This is the first day of contact with the male lead, and there have been so many chaos.

Don’t know what to do next.

Forget it, adjust your mentality, perform well, and save your life is the top priority.

Fu Nianchi got up lightly, and after a night of panic, the joy of yesterday’s wedding was no longer seen in Prince Zhao’s Mansion.

After he got dressed, he went out and said to the waiting maidservants: “Prince’s fever has subsided, and the situation has improved a lot.”

“After the prince wakes up, he will invite the imperial physician to come again.” The maid said, “The princess can rest now.”

Fu Nianchi nodded, just as he was about to leave, he suddenly remembered Ye Canglan’s sweaty appearance, and said: “Prince sweated a lot last night, and if he is not refreshed, he will also feel uncomfortable. Wipe him off a little when he wakes up.”

“yes.”

He finally able to leave the wedding room, Fu Nianchi planned to go around the Prince Zhao’s mansion first to familiarize himself with the surroundings.

If there is any accident in the future, it is better to plan the escape route in advance.

He went all the way to the rockery in the backyard. This is the place where Fourth Young Master Fu and the guard had a tryst in the original book. Now it is deserted, only some birds stay here.

There is a cave in the rockery, which is quite hidden, and it is really suitable for doing some sneaky things.

Fu Nianchi was about to go elsewhere, but a maid came looking for him.

“Princess, the prince is already awake, and he doesn’t want us to wipe him off.”

“Ah?” Fu Nianchi thought to himself why Ye Canglan is so strange, you are the male lead of Long Aotian who will have three thousand in the harem in the future, what’s wrong with asking the maid to help you wipe your lower body? won’t lose a piece of meat.

But he still said, “Then I’ll go and have a look?”

Fu Nianchi rushed to the bedroom, and several maidservants with water basins were standing outside waiting.

When Fu Nianchi entered the room, Ye Canglan had already woken up, leaning against the head of the bed, his face was pale, his eyesight was weak, and the black hair at the temples was stuck to his face with sweat.

Seeing Fu Nianchi, Ye Canglan’s eyes dodged for a moment, and soon he pretended to be calm again.

“How does your husband feel?” Fu Nianchi sat gently on the side of the bed, although it is the right way to stay away from Ye Canglan as much as possible, but in the current situation, it is still necessary to save face.

“It’s okay, cough cough…” Ye Canglan’s voice was weak, “I feel better after sleeping.”

Fu Nianchi: “That’s good, my husband sweated a lot when he had a fever, do you want to wipe yourself off?”

“Wipe it off.” Seeing that Fu Nianchi was about to get up to call someone, Ye Canglan said in a low voice, “Wipe it for me.”

Fu Nianchi: “…”

Why did Ye Canglan have to let him wipe it! Are they familiar?!

Could it be that I took good care of Ye Canglan last night, which made him feel dependent?

Fu Nianchi tried to struggle: “Husband, I didn’t do much work when I was in Fu’s house, maybe I didn’t do well.”

“No problem.”

All the words were blocked back, Fu Nianchi could only accept his fate, just wipe it, isn’t it just to do more work.

“Okay, then I’ll come.”

Fu Nianchi went outside the door and took the basin from the handmaid, which was mostly filled with hot water. In order to prevent Ye Canglan from catching cold again, he prepared several basins of hot water.

Fu Nianchi carried the basin and walked towards the bed, still thinking about why Ye Canglan insisted on letting him wipe his body.

The maidservants have taken care of him personally for many years, and they are very skilled in doing things, there shouldn’t be situations where Ye Canglan feels embarrassed.

After all, he hasn’t been sick for a year or two.

So why?

Fu Nianchi couldn’t figure it out.

His mind was distracted and he thought a lot in a mess. When he realized that his left foot stepped on his right foot, it was already too late.

The whole body fell forward uncontrollably, amidst the exclamation of many maids and servants around, it seemed that the passage of time became slow.

Fu Nianchi saw the boiling water poured from the basin draw a transparent parabola in the air.

He saw hot white steam coming out.

Seeing Ye Canglan’s suddenly widened eyes on the bed and the terrified look in those eyes.

clatter——

Half a basin of hot water was poured on Ye Canglan.

“Aww!”

King Zhao, who was originally as angry as a gossamer, let out a scream like killing a pig, and the exposed back of his hands and neck turned red instantly.

“My lord!”

“My lord!”

The servant girls and attendants rushed forward immediately, Fu Nianchi threw away the basin in his hand with a bang, and hurriedly lifted the quilt from Ye Canglan’s body.

Ye Canglan was covered with a thick quilt, and most of the hot water was poured on it. It would take a while for the water to soak through the quilt and be felt by the skin.

Fu Nianchi tore off the quilt, but he was scalded by the flying hot water and shrank his hands.

So hot!

It’s over, it’s over, it’s over! Fu Nianchi’s mind went blank, he scalded Ye Canglan like this, maybe there will be laser light from Ye Canglan’s eyes in the next second and burn him to ashes!

Just when he was full of despair, his hands were suddenly grabbed.

“Is your hand burned? Are you okay? Hurry up and apply some burn ointment, don’t worry about me!”

Ye Canglan held Fu Nianchi’s hand with two hands that were almost scalded into trotters, and saw a few small red spots on the back of the young man’s hand.

His tone was quick and full of concern, and he couldn’t help coughing because he spoke too quickly.

This cough doesn’t matter, Ye Canglan’s illness is not cured at all, not to mention that he is so anxious that he spurts out a mouthful of blood——

It landed on Fu Nianchi’s hands.

Fu Nianchi: “!!”

Fu Nianchi train of thought stopped.

The maidservants who rushed up also petrified in place.

Fu Nianchi stared at the blood on his hands, and was dumbfounded by Ye Canglan’s concerned inquiry.

I don’t know, but I thought he vomited the blood!

……Why!

Why was it that he poured water on Ye Canglan himself, almost scalding him, but Ye Canglan vomited blood and asked him if he was alright?

Fu Nianchi raised his head stiffly, and saw Ye Canglan trembling uncontrollably.

Fu Nianchi: “?”

Big brother, why are you trembling?!

The eager maidservants stared wide-eyed and forgot to breathe, they couldn’t believe what they saw.

——The prince who had a high fever due to excessive intercourse last night, and now he was scalded by boiling water, is actually concerned about the culprit?

Outrageous, simply outrageous.

But it did happen right before their eyes.

Could it be that… the prince has long had a deep-rooted affection for Fourth Young Master Fu?

That was the only reason anyone could think of.

What is it that makes the prince endure the severe pain of being scalded, vomit blood and comfort the panicked princess?

It’s love!!

No wonder the prince knew that the fourth young master of the Fu family was notorious, and agreed to let him married.

No wonder the prince insisted last night that only Fourth Young Master Fu should take a medicinal bath for him.

No wonder even though he was seriously ill, he never refused Fu Fourth Young Master’s request to have intercourse.

This, this is all because of love!
