Warm medicine emits fragrance

Li Chenbi's desire to drink definitely did not mean he wanted to drink medicine.

Fan Liuer couldn't help but recall what had happened on this bamboo bed yesterday.

The two had done this many times, but things were different then than now, and since they hadn't seen each other for half a year, Fan Liuer couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

Looking down at Li Chenbi, who was in so much pain that he was delirious and covered in sweat, Fan Liuer sighed and then gently unbuttoned her clothes.

When the medicine bag was brought to Li Chenbi's mouth, he immediately opened his mouth and took large gulps of the medicinal juice that could relieve his fever.

It's unclear whether it was because Li Chenbi had taken it last night, but today's medicine was a bit more than yesterday's, but even so, it wasn't enough for Li Chenbi.

He reached out and wrapped his arms around Fan Liuer's waist, pressing his entire body against hers, burying himself in her face as if he wanted to stick to her.

Fan Liuer could only brace herself against the bamboo bed with both hands to avoid being crushed by Li Chenbi.

But the pressure from this person increased until Fan Liuer could no longer hold on and she fell back onto the bamboo bed with Li Chenbi in her arms.

Li Chenbi had already finished the medicine and couldn't drink any more, but he still held it in his mouth.

Fan Liuer felt a pain and pushed Li Chenbi away, but Li Chenbi persisted and moved closer to her.

Fan Liuer was worried that Li Chenbi's movements might aggravate his injured leg, so she stretched out her arms and hugged him tightly.

"Don't move, don't move, it'll be fine in a bit," she soothed gently.

Li Chenbi pressed himself against her, and the coolness of her body did indeed alleviate some of the heat symptoms in Li Chenbi's body.

But that's not enough; he wants more.

His cheek was pressed against Fan Liuer's body, his face felt soft and cool, and his nose smelled a familiar and sweet fragrance, which brought him a sense of peace amidst the torment of pain.

In the end, Li Chenbi fainted from the pain. Fan Liuer didn't know how long his pain would last, so she lay with him on the bamboo bed and held him the whole time.

Fan Liuer lay there until the afternoon, when she got hungry. By then, Li Chenbi's body wasn't so hot anymore, and his temperature had dropped a little, so she got up.

Just then, Siqing came over to call Fan Liuer for dinner, and Fan Liuer got dressed and left the room.

Not long after Fan Liuer left, Li Chenbi woke up. He stared at the ceiling with his eyes open, and it took him a while to regain his strength.

The medicine prescribed by Fan Liuer was not very effective for his fever. Although drinking it was better than not drinking it, it was not enough to keep him from having a fever every day.

If this continues, even if he doesn't die from the pain of the fever, he will die from the rapid weight loss caused by the unbearable torment of his body.

With difficulty, he raised one hand and reached under the pillow.

Below are the jade pendant and medicine bottle that Li Qiuping left him.

There were two more pills in the medicine bottle. With Fan Liuer's medicine as a supplement, and the ability to hold Fan Liuer to relieve the heat in his body, the effect of one pill should last for three days.

One lasts three days, two lasts six days.

It would take Li Qiuping four days to reach General Yan at full speed, and eight days to travel there and back.

He should be able to hold on for the remaining two days.

He opened the medicine bottle, poured out a pill, put it in his mouth, swallowed it, and then put the bottle back under his pillow.

Close your eyes, calm your breathing, and wait for the medicine to take effect.

After finishing her meal, Fan Liuer carried the porridge that Siqing had specially cooked to her home.

She left in a hurry, anxious to see Li Chenbi.

From the time Li Chenbi was rescued until now, he hasn't eaten anything. Even a normal person couldn't endure that, let alone a patient like him.

She absolutely had to get him to eat something today.

As I carried the bowl back into the house, the person on the bamboo bed opened their eyes and looked at me as soon as I opened the door.

Meeting his eyes, Fan Liuer was pleasantly surprised. "You're awake. It's good to have something to eat. You haven't eaten for two days."

As she spoke, she walked to the bamboo bed and first reached out to touch Li Chenbi's forehead. When she felt that her palm was much warmer than usual but still within normal limits for Li Chenbi, she felt a little relieved.

The situation is better than yesterday; it seems the medicine she prescribed is working?

If that's the case, then as long as he keeps drinking like this, Li Chenbi shouldn't be in so much pain every day.

She was in a good mood, so she put the porridge aside and went to help Li Chenbi up. "Get up and drink the porridge."

Li Chenbi cooperated by propping himself up to sit up, and Fan Liuer sat behind him so he could lean on her, then brought him some porridge to eat.

Li Chenbi was really hungry, and he quickly finished the bowl of porridge.

Fan Liuer put the empty bowl aside. "You haven't eaten for too long, so you can't eat too much at once. Have a snack later."

After saying that, she stepped back and let Li Chenbi lie down.

"The sun has set and it's not as hot as it was at noon. Your fever shouldn't flare up again. You can sleep a little longer, and I'll go and prepare your medicine for tonight."

Li Chenbi had not yet recovered his strength and was too weak to try to persuade Fan Liuer to stay. Moreover, after eating, he felt very sleepy and fell asleep again in bed.

When he woke up again, it was Fan Liuer who fed him medicine.

The medicine had been cooled to a lukewarm temperature, and contained a large amount of cold-natured herbs. Upon tasting it, it had a pungent, strong, bitter, and irritating taste, causing Li Chenbi to frown.

When I took this medicine before, I was so drowsy that I didn't pay any attention to what it tasted like. Now that I'm fully conscious, I realize how awful it tastes.

If he were at the Li residence, a servant would serve him tea to cleanse his palate after he finished his medicine. However, Fan Liuer preferred sweet soup to bitter tea, and there was none of that here, so he could only let the taste of medicine linger in his mouth.

"Are you feeling any better now?" Fan Liuer's gentle voice interrupted his reverie. Li Chenbi turned his head to the side, and his face sank into a soft embrace.

To make it easier to feed him his medicine, Fan Liuer had him lean low against her chest.

At this moment, Li Chenbi smelled the special fragrance emanating from Fan Liuer's body, and a greedy thought arose in his mind.

I want to drink more...

He remembered his current identity: a man who had been rescued by Fan Liuer and lost his memory. He could no longer exercise his rights as he had before.

We can only outsmart them.

His brow furrowed, and he pressed himself against Fan Liuer, letting out a low groan of pain.

Fan Liuer quickly put down the medicine bowl and hugged him, "Are you feeling unwell again? Why are you feeling unwell again?"

Li Chenbi lifted his head from her embrace, his eyes glazed over, and mumbled incoherently, "Hot..."

This put Fan Liuer in a difficult position. The window was open, and she was holding the person. Guanshan Town was not like Xingzhou Prefecture; ice could not be bought here to cool the house. This was all Fan Liuer could do.

She pursed her lips, then came up with an idea. "How about I get you a basin of water to soak in?"

Li Chenbi buried his face in her again and spoke indistinctly.

"I want to drink..."

Fan Liuer stiffened. "Didn't we already drink during the day?"

Li Chenbi didn't reply. He leaned against her, all his weight pressing down on her. He was so weak that he couldn't even sit up, and painful groans occasionally escaped from between his teeth.

Fan Liuer sighed helplessly, "Drink up, drink up."
