Xiaoyao Xiaojunhou

Chapter 70 Cough
The next day, early in the morning.

"Uncle, it's time... ah, uncle, are you... awake?"

Qiu Wen came to wake Zhu Xiuyuan up as usual.

But this time Zhu Xiuyuan couldn't stand the bed. As soon as Qiu Wen opened his mouth and said the word "should", he opened the quilt and climbed up.

Qiu Wen was surprised. Today's uncle is so...so self-conscious!
"Hurry up and change your clothes. After washing up, I have to check on my wife's condition."

Zhu Xiuyuan rubbed his face hard to wake himself up.

Soon, Zhu Xiuyuan finished tidying up and opened the door directly to Dong Shuzhen's boudoir.

Qiu Wen followed with small steps.

Passing by the small living room, Zhu Xiuyuan suddenly turned his head, and glanced outside through the open door——

It's still raining!

The sky was overcast and it was raining continuously.

And looking at it like this, it seems that the rain will turn into a downpour at any time.

Zhu Xiuyuan frowned. The weather conditions have been getting worse recently.

But he didn't have time to care about the weather now, as his wife's condition was more important.

Squeak!

Xia Wu opened the door from inside.

Zhu Xiuyuan took a closer look at Xia Wu's expression and found that there seemed to be a hint of worry between her eyebrows...

Zhu Xiuyuan's heart sank.

He didn't care about talking at the moment, passed Xia Wu, walked directly into the room, lifted the brocade curtain of the bed curtain, and looked at Dong Shuzhen with his head.

"Husband...ahem..."

Dong Shuzhen lay quietly on the couch, her eyes half-closed. Compared to yesterday, her eyes seemed to be even duller.

This "husband" call was so breathless and weak that it seemed like it was taking a lot of effort...

Zhu Xiuyuan raised his eyebrows fiercely.

Not good!

This scene doesn't look like a recovery...and, why...you still have a cough? !

Zhu Xiuyuan rubbed the back of his hand, and after it was no longer cold, he placed it on Dong Shuzhen's forehead... Hiss, it's so hot!
Dong Shuzhen's cold syndrome has not improved, and now she has a fever again!
Getting sicker!

Zhu Xiuyuan was in a trance. Somehow, he thought of the weather he saw just now, which was gloomy and depressing...

His mood seemed to be filled with dark clouds. The dark clouds were overwhelming and extremely heavy for a moment!

Seeing that the originally lively lady had turned into this, Zhu Xiuyuan felt apprehensive, afraid that something unknown would happen.

Zhu Xiuyuan suddenly stared at Xia Wu with sharp eyes.

He remembered that when he left last night, he told Xia Wu to take good care of his wife and report him immediately if there was any problem, but such a serious matter as the lady had a fever...

Forget it, now is not the time to think about this.

The urgent matter now is to find a skilled doctor as soon as possible to cure my wife's illness as soon as possible!

"That quack doctor in the past was not skilled in medicine, so there is no need for him to continue misleading people. Xia Wu, hurry up and invite the best doctor in the city. If necessary, he can be tied! Get the person here first and then talk about it!"

"Yes, uncle!"

Just now, Xia Wu was stared at by Zhu Xiuyuan's "scrutinizing" gaze, and she lowered her head in shame... Seeing that her uncle didn't say anything in the end, but ordered her to ask a doctor... Xia Wu felt a feeling of "atonement" in her heart thoughts.

She agreed quickly and immediately trotted to open the door.

"Qiu Wen, you go to the back hall of the west courtyard and inform your father-in-law that your wife's condition has worsened. I will stay at home to take care of your wife personally. I will not go to the Yamen these days."

"Yes, uncle!"

Qiu Wen trotted and opened the door.

"and many more!"

Qiu Wen stopped suddenly when she heard this and stared at Zhu Xiuyuan blankly.

"Remember to bring me and my wife's breakfast!"

"Yes, uncle!" The two little maids were sent out, and only Zhu Xiuyuan and Dong Shuzhen were left in the room.

Zhu Xiuyuan moved a stool and sat in front of the bed and looked at her carefully.

Dong Shuzhen became a lot more haggard, and her originally plump and smooth face also turned pale and looked a little pale.

The agility and fun in her eyes completely disappeared. From her eyes, Zhu Xiuyuan saw a hint of fatigue and discomfort.

There is only one way to get along with the disease, and that is "fight!"

It requires perseverance and endurance!
"Hey!"

Zhu Xiuyuan sighed softly.

He knew that his wife was fighting a serious illness and it was very uncomfortable!

While sighing, he caught a glimpse of a naughty strand of hair popping out of Dong Shuzhen's temples and clinging to her pale cheek, making her temples look a little messy.

Zhu Xiuyuan gently stroked his hand and smoothed the scattered hair along the arc of her cheek.

This action seemed very intimate.

When Zhu Xiuyuan's hand completed its "mission" and was about to withdraw, Dong Shuzhen's eyes suddenly lit up, she tilted her head slightly, and rubbed her cheek on the back of Zhu Xiuyuan's hand.

This is even more intimate.

Zhu Xiuyuan's heart moved.

The hand stayed there by some strange mistake and was not in a hurry to withdraw.

He gently held half of Dong Shuzhen's face with his palms.

"Husband, don't blame Xia Wu. Ahem, it's actually me who didn't let him tell husband. Ahem..."

"Well, I don't blame her."

Zhu Xiuyuan's thumb lightly brushed Dong Shuzhen's cheek, and he withdrew his hand back.

Dong Shuzhen stared at him steadily, and there seemed to be a mist in her eyes.

"Madam, you should sleep for a while first. You are getting sicker and sicker now. You need to take a good rest. I won't go anywhere in the past two days. I will stay with you at home to prevent you from kicking under the quilt and catching cold again."

"I...ahem...there is no such thing!"

"Go to sleep. I'll wake you up later after Qiu Wen delivers breakfast."

"But I'm a concubine...ahem...don't want to sleep!"

"obedient!"

"No, I have been sleeping for so long...ahem...although I am very tired, I can't sleep..."

Dong Shuzhen puffed out her cheeks and looked disobedient.

"Husband... why don't you continue telling the story... ahem..."

"Hey!"

Zhu Xiuyuan sighed and said in a consultative tone: "It's okay to tell stories, but you have to promise me that if you want to sleep, you will go to bed immediately. Also, you must drink all the medicine prescribed by the doctor. Don't be afraid of hardship. I will wait for you." Okay, then I can take you out to play."

"Okay, I promise...ahem." She tilted her head slightly and stared at Zhu Xiuyuan, with a forced smile in the corners of her eyes.

However, when Zhu Xiuyuan set up his position and prepared to speak, Dong Shuzhen's hand shook in the quilt, which attracted Zhu Xiuyuan's attention. At the same time, he softly shouted: "Husband..."

Zhu Xiuyuan had no choice but to reach into the quilt and hold Dong Shuzhen's little hand...

But now is different from yesterday, Dong Shuzhen no longer has much strength to hold his hand.

Instead, Zhu Xiuyuan held it in his hand, soft and without any strength.

Zhu Xiuyuan forced a smile and began to tell the exciting story...

Not long after, Dong Shuyu and Qiuwen came over together.

As soon as Dong Shuyu heard that his little sister's condition was getting worse, he was startled at the dinner table. He dropped the dishes and followed Qiu Wen.

His father-in-law was very calm. He learned that Zhu Xiuyuan's arrangements included "asking for leave" and instructing Xia Wu to find the best doctor in the city. Dong Cheng was quite satisfied and agreed to Zhu Xiuyuan's "asking for leave".

However, perhaps because he was really relieved about Zhu Xiuyuan, or perhaps because there were too many things going on in the yamen, in short, Dong Cheng did not come with Qiu Wen and went on duty after dinner.
