Queen's Development

Chapter 20 Serious Illness
Yuzhi noticed that Lin Jia's nose was warm and breathing, and was about to speak when Ah Qing, who was waiting outside in the porch, rushed in: "Yuzhi, what's wrong with the second young master?"

Yu Zhi looked at Ah Qing and said, "Second Young Master drank a glass of wine and lay down on the table—is this wine poisonous?"

Ah Qing pursed her lips, helped Lin Jia to look at her intently, and said, "It's okay, Second Young Master can't drink, he must be drunk."

He got up and carried Lin Jia on his back to the bedroom.

Yuzhi's heart that was hanging there was slowly retracted, and she hurried to the east dark bedroom, unfolded the brocade quilt, patted the pillows softly and straightened them up, and then helped Ah Qing put Lin Jia on the bed.

Ah Qing arranged the second young master on the bed, saw Yu Zhi lifted the young master's leg with one hand, and carefully took off the soap boots on the young master's feet with the other hand, her hands and feet were quick and gentle, she couldn't help saying: Yuzhi is a careful person!

Yuzhi pulled back the brocade quilt, covering Lin Jia's long legs, and then looked at Ah Qing: "Ah Qing, you have to take off the outer robe on Second Young Master, or you will catch cold when you wake up in the morning!"

If she didn't say anything, Ah Qing forgot all about it, and hurriedly sat by the bed, helped the second young master up, and signaled Yuzhi to help the second young master take off the brocade robe on his body.

Yuzhi felt a little embarrassed, she leaned over with a blushing face, and untied the second young master's belt with trembling hands.

Because it was the first time, Yuzhi was naturally a little unfamiliar.

She finally untied the young master's belt, hung it on the hanger east of the bed, and then went to take off the brocade robe on the second young master's body.

After taking off the brocade robe, Yuzhi saw that the second young master was only left with the thin white Luo Zhongdan, which became thinner and slender, so she hurriedly put the brocade robe at the end of the bed, and together with Ah Qing, carefully helped the second young master to lie down, and then Pulled the brocade quilt cover.

This house is no different from the county palace in Qingzhou. There is no earth dragon. Yuzhi is wearing a coat and still feels cold. She is worried that only a quilt will be covered. The second son is so weak that he is afraid that he will not be warm, so she looks at Ah Qing: "Ah Qing, it's really too cold, why don't you add another quilt for Second Young Master?"

Ah Qing nodded, and said, "Zhao County is near the sea, the sea wind is strong, it's really too cold!"

Yuzhi took another blue satin quilt and came over, unfolded it and gently covered Lin Jia's body, and leaned over to have a look, and saw that under the light, Lin Jia's face was as white as jade, her eyebrows were picturesque, and her cheeks were slightly flushed. It was obvious that he was sleeping soundly, so he was relieved.

Ah Qing looked at it from the side, and said: "Yuzhi, you may need tea or water at night, you can stay in the bedroom to take care of it tonight!"

Yuzhi: "..."

Seeing that her eyes were wide open and she looked cute and funny, Ah Qing smiled, "Bring your bedding and sleep on the couch by the window!"

Yuzhi thought for a while, and felt that the second young master was so weak that he couldn't live without someone to take care of him at night, so she agreed and went to get her own bedding.

Qingcha had already tidied up the Ming room, so she and Yuzhi went back to the west wing.

After entering the west wing, she asked Yuzhi in a low voice: "Yuzhi, how is the second young master?"

Yuzhi smiled and said: "Second Young Master is just drunk - he can't drink, he just poured down a glass of wine!"

Qingcha also laughed when he heard the words: "There are people in the world who can drink so little!"

Because the second son is fine, Yuzhi felt relieved, and also laughed, saying: "Clear tea, in case you need tea or water at night, there must be no one in the second son's room, we have to go alone, or we should take turns ?”

Qingcha laughed when she heard it, swayed her arms around Yuzhi, put her face on Yuzhi's shoulder and acted coquettishly: "Yuzhi, Second Young Master doesn't like to talk, I'm afraid when I see Second Young Master; besides, I can't sleep well at night. Then die... you better go, at worst, I will take care of all the laundry!"

Washing clothes in winter is the hardest, so Yuzhi was reluctant to let Qingcha do the laundry alone, so she smiled and said, "I can stay overnight, but you have to get up in the morning to boil the water for washing your face and rinsing your mouth!"

Qingcha is not afraid of being tired, but afraid of worrying, so she immediately agreed, and then helped Yuzhi prepare the bedding.

Yuzhi only carried a small bedclothes and went to Donganjian.

Seeing Yuzhi approaching, Ah Qing left.

It was windy during the night.

The wind was whistling, and the moonlight paper pasted on the windows was blown by the wind and made a "slapping" sound.

Nestled in the warm new cotton quilt, listening to the howling wind outside the window and the crisp sound of the window paper, she almost sighed with happiness, and soon fell asleep.

Lin Jia woke up at night with a splitting headache, her throat was dry and her bones ached, she couldn't help moaning.

There was a rustling sound in front of the window, and soon a faint scent of wintersweet came closer, and a warm and soft hand was placed on Lin Jia's forehead: "Second Young Master, what do you think?"

Lin Jia recognized Yuzhi's voice, opened her eyes and looked over, and found that Yuzhi was holding the candlestick in one hand and resting on his forehead with the other.

He wanted to speak, but his throat hurt so badly that he couldn't utter a word, a layer of mist appeared in his phoenix eyes, and he looked at Yuzhi pitifully.

Seeing him like this, Yu Zhi felt inexplicably uncomfortable, and said softly, "Do you feel cold and have a sore throat?"

She tried the second son's forehead just now, and found that the temperature seemed a little high.

Lin Jia didn't speak, but blinked slowly.

He lost his mother when he was six years old. He suffered many crimes when he was a child, and was poisoned by Princess Li many times. He managed to escape with great difficulty. His body was originally very weak. After traveling all the way to Zhao County, his body was almost unable to support him. It's just that Lin Jia is used to holding back all the pains by herself.

Now he has a splitting headache, his throat is so sore that he can't make a sound, his whole body is shivering with cold, his bones are hurting, but he can't speak, he can only look at Yuzhi and open his mouth in vain.

Yu Zhi didn't care about anything else, so she put the candlestick on the small table beside the bed, leaned over to look at Lin Jiajun, and found that Lin Jiajun's face was flushed, her breathing was short of breath, and her lips were not as rosy as in the daytime, but dry. A layer of white skin.

She pressed her forehead against Lin Jia's, and found that Lin Jia's forehead was hot and her heart was beating fast. She hurriedly said, "Second Young Master, you have a fever!"

She first took the bedside table and put it on the thermos, poured a cup of warm water, tried it herself first, and felt that the temperature was just right, so she poured a new cup, helped Lin Jia up, and fed him to drink one mouthful at a time.

Lin Jia drank a glass of warm water, her throat felt better, and she closed her eyes.

Yuzhi noticed that Lin Jia seemed to be asleep again, but she was still very worried, so she leaned over to have a look, only to find that Lin Jia's body seemed to be shaking slightly, and she couldn't help being flustered.

She took a deep breath, hurriedly covered Lin Jia with the quilt, walked out of the main room, and woke up Qingcha: "Qingcha, the situation of the second young master seems to be wrong, you go to the outer courtyard and ask Ah Qing to come and have a look!"

Qing Cha agreed, got up and jumped off the bed, quickly put on her coat, and left the room.

Seeing the tea coming out, Yu Zhi hurriedly said in a low voice: "Tell Ah Qing that the Second Young Master has a high fever, he can't speak, and is shaking all over!"

Qingcha agreed, and while tying up her belt, she walked towards the gate.

Yu Zhi broke out in sweat just now, but now she was very uncomfortable being blown by the biting night wind, and couldn't care less, she hurriedly ran back to the main landlord's dark bedroom to take care of the second son.

In the bedroom in the east dark room, there is only one candlestick on the small table beside the bed. The candle is full of tears, and it is almost burnt out. The shadow of the candle is flickering, and the bedroom is dim.

Lin Jia lay there in a daze, breathing heavily.

Yuzhi walked to the bed, leaned over, and found that Lin Jia's face was pale and bluish, with beautiful eyebrows, thick eyelashes, a straight nose bridge, and delicate moon lips that were dry and peeling, with a sickly face. It is a description of a sick and beautiful boy.

Seeing Lin Jia like this made Yuzhi feel uncomfortable, so she poured another cup of water and helped Lin Jia to feed it.

Lin Jia didn't speak, and her long Danfeng eyes seemed to be staring at Yuzhi, her lips moved, and her voice was hoarse, almost too low to hear: "Cold."

For some reason, seeing Lin Jia like this, Yuzhi burst into tears.

He is obviously the proud son of heaven, born in the wilderness, yet he has suffered so much. In this cold night in a foreign land, he is sick in bed alone...

At this moment, there was a rush of footsteps outside, followed by the sound of tea: "Yu Zhi, Ah Qing and Ah Lan have gone to the County Traditional Chinese Medicine Center to invite a doctor!"

Following the voice, Qing Cha hurried in.

Yu Zhi hurriedly got up to welcome the clear tea, and said: "Clear tea, the second son is shivering with fever and cold, you go and boil a pot of boiling water, and use the soup lady on my bed to bring it over, hurry up!"

Qing Cha agreed and hurriedly ran out.

Yuzhi turned around and sat down beside the bed, touched Lin Jia's forehead with her body, and found that it was still terribly hot, so she poured another cup of warm water, supported Lin Jia with her arms, and fed Lin Jia to drink.

After drinking these glasses of water, Lin Jia's dry throat finally eased a little. He opened his eyes and looked at Yuzhi sitting beside the bed guarding him in the candlelight, feeling a warm feeling in his head.

On this cold winter night in a foreign land, there was someone who accompanied him to take care of him when he was sick, and gave him some comfort. Lin Jia felt that she was not so lonely...

He stared at Yuzhi, trying to forget the pain in his body.

Yuzhi didn't notice that Lin Jia was looking at her. Sitting by the bed, she saw that the flame of the candle on the candlestick was a little weak, so she pulled out a silver plum hairpin from her bun, picked it up with the tip of the hairpin, and wiped it off. The thin layer of candle liquid on the tip of the hairpin inserted the hairpin back into the bun.

Qingcha trotted over to Mrs. Tang who was holding Yuzhi in her arms, threw Mrs. Tang to the bed, rubbed her hands together and said, "Oh, it's so hot!"

Yuzhi hurriedly took out a clean embroidered handkerchief from her sleeve pocket, wrapped it around Mrs. Tang, and found that it was still a little hot, so she untied the silk handkerchief tied around her left wrist, and wrapped it again. After trying it, she found it was hot but not hot. Only then did Tang Pozi be stuffed in from under the quilt and put into Lin Jia's arms.

With this warm Mrs. Tang in Lin Jia's arms, his chest that had been chilling all the time was warmed up. He hugged Mrs. Tang tightly, curled up with his eyes closed.

At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps outside, followed by Ah Qing's voice: "The doctor is here, how is our son?"
