Splendid Pastoral

Chapter 32
It took a lot of effort for Po Gu to drag Zhao Min from Gu Lingqing's bed to the bed next door, and covered her with a quilt.

"Alas!" Gu Po sighed a long time, looking at the tiredness on Zhao Min's face, she helped her brush her hair with distress.

These days, she has really worked hard for her. In order to help the young master detoxify, she boiled herself day and night, and Gu Po admired her very much in her heart.

After settled Zhao Min, Gu Po went back to Gu Lingqing's room, sat in front of the bed, and watched him wake up.

Seeing the green line beside his heart gradually getting farther and farther away from his heart, Gu Po was also relieved.

The tension that had been tense these days gradually relaxed, and she fell asleep unconsciously lying on the side of the bed.

"Um…"

After Gu Lingqing groaned a few times, she slowly opened her eyes.

Night, the endless night, my whole body was sore and weak, and I didn't know how long I had been lying down.

Gu Lingqing sat up with her arms propped up, and saw a person lying beside her bed.

"Who?!"

When Gu Po heard Gu Lingqing's scolding, she came to her senses, and hurriedly got up and went to the side to light the lamp wick.

Under the illumination of the light, seeing Gu Lingqing sitting up from the bed, Gu Po ran to the bed and shouted excitedly: "Master, you are awake, that girl Zhao Min is really good."

Gu Lingqing frowned, and rubbed her brows: "Gu Po, how long have I been in a coma?"

"Master, it's been three days and three nights." Gu Po wept with joy, but actually shed tears.

Gu Lingqing lowered her head and opened her chest, and saw that the green line beside her heart had slowly faded away.

"My poison has been cured?" Gu Lingqing's tone was slightly surprised, this is the palace secret medicine.

Gu Po quickly nodded: "Understood, to talk about the credit, it's thanks to that girl Zhao Min, who has been reading medical books day and night these days, and prepared all kinds of medicines for you to drink..."

Speaking of this, Gu Po was stunned for a moment. Gu Lingqing lowered her head and looked at her chest, but she didn't notice anything unusual about her. At this moment, Gu Po remembered the way Zhao Min fed the young master that day.

"Anyway, I didn't expect that girl to mix up the antidote by mistake. No, she just fell asleep after feeding you and drinking two doses of medicine yesterday afternoon. I thought she was extremely tired."

The rooster outside had already crowed once, and it was gradually getting brighter. Gu Lingqing struggled to get up and punch, but she didn't have the slightest strength in her body.

Seeing that he was about to get up, Gu Po immediately pressed him on the bed, "Master, it's not the old slave who told you, you just got cured of the poison, how can you get up? You should lie on the bed and recuperate for a while."

Gu Lingqing irritatedly punched the bed with her fist, but she was limp and weak, without the strength she used to have.

"Gu Po, help me get up and walk! I'm really aggrieved lying in bed these days."

Gu Po still disagreed in her heart, but Gu Lingqing was so persistent.

Thinking that helping him to walk around would be good for his recovery, he stepped forward to help him up, took the shoes from the bottom of the bed, helped him put them on, and then helped him slowly walk out of the courtyard.

At this time, it was slightly bright, and Gu Lingqing let Gu Po support her to walk around the courtyard, and didn't stop until dawn, feeling that her body had regained some strength.

"Gu Po, I feel a little hungry." Gu Lingqing said slowly.

Gu Po was overjoyed, since she wanted to eat, it seemed that there was no serious problem, "Hey!" she agreed, "Master, I will help you in to rest first, and I will go and cook you something to eat."

Gu Lingqing waved her hand, "You go, I'll just go back to the house by myself."

"This..." Gu Po looked puzzled, and after glancing at him, "Okay, I'll go and prepare something for you."

Gu Po went straight to the kitchen, while Gu Lingqing walked slowly to the room where Zhao Min slept.

Holding the edge of the door and entering the room, Gu Lingqing walked slowly to Zhao Min's bed and stopped.

Zhao Min's complexion is not very good, one can imagine how tired she has been these few days, there are bruises under her eyes, her skin condition is not very good, her lips are a little pale, and the skin is already peeling.

An inexplicable warm current surged in Gu Lingqing's heart, which was a feeling she had never felt since she had lived for such a long time.

Looking at Zhao Min's already chapped lips, Gu Lingqing didn't find it ugly, and just wanted to moisten her lips.

After this thought came to her mind, she couldn't control herself and stared at her lips.

"Oh oh oh~"

The sound of a rooster crowing made Gu Lingqing wake up like a dream. Looking at the face so close in front of her, she couldn't help being startled, and quickly bounced away. She was just a centimeter away from kissing Zhao Min!

Gu Po, who was cooking in the kitchen, looked at the young master almost fleeing from Zhao Min's room, and tilted her head strangely.

Gu Lingqing returned to her room, sat on her bed, touched her heart that was about to jump out, and looked a little ugly, what's wrong with her?
Zhao Min slept for two full days and two nights, and when she woke up, she was so thirsty, "Water...water..."

But at the moment, she was not by her side. Gu Lingqing was reading in the courtyard, and Gu Po went out to pick herbs.

Zhao Min struggled and wanted to get up and find some water to drink, but he was so weak that he even fell off the bed with the quilt on him. Fortunately, he was wrapped in the quilt and didn't bump into him.

Gu Lingqing, who was in the yard, heard the movement in the house, put down the book quickly, and ran into the house.

As soon as he entered the room, he saw Zhao Min lying on the ground with the quilt on: "Zhao Min!"

Gu Lingqing hurried forward to pick her up and gently put her on the bed.

"Gu Lingqing, it's great that you've been cured of your poison." Zhao Min's complexion was pale, but she was still happy for Gu Lingqing.

When Gu Lingqing heard her calling her name directly, she didn't have much reaction.

"Water." Zhao Min's lips parted slightly.

Looking at Zhao Min's dry lips, Gu Lingqing remembered that incident, coughed twice unnaturally, and then went to the table and poured a cup of tea for Zhao Min.

Zhao Min was so weak that she couldn't lift her hands. Seeing this, Gu Lingqing helped her up, let her lean on her chest, brought the teacup to her mouth, and fed her to drink.

"Thank you."

A suspected blush flashed across Gu Lingqing's face. Although he and she slept in the same bed every night, they had never been as close as they are now.

Putting her flat on the bed, Gu Lingqing said: "You have slept for such a long time, no food, no water, no strength, it is normal, just wait for a while, you will be fine."

Zhao Min nodded. She really felt powerless now. Although she slept for two days and two nights, she didn't feel very refreshed. Maybe it was because the tense mood before had been relaxed, but she felt even more powerless.

"Lie down first, I'll go see if there's anything else to eat in the kitchen."

With the help of Gu Lingqing, Zhao Min lay flat on the bed, looked at the background of his departure, and felt a little strange in his heart, didn't he never go into the kitchen?
And I feel that he, how should I put it, feels that his attitude towards me is a little different...
