But at the same time, it is a pity again. It is a pity that Shi Ying and Xiao Wuzi did not meet outside the palace. If they had met earlier, even half a year earlier, would Shi Ying not have entered the palace?

Is it possible... to get married and live together?

However, everything was just wishful thinking. The past could not be brought back, and Shi Qiang had already entered the harem. There was no point in thinking too much.

Chu Qi had to go catch stray cats with Eunuch An in the afternoon, so she couldn't stay for long. After she recovered her strength, she stood up and said:

"I'm going to go back first. I'll come back later when I'm free. Promise."

Hong Xing said, "I'll take you there!"

"No need, I can go out by myself, just promise me when you take good care of me."

Chu Qi waved her hand, opened the door to an angle enough for her to enter and exit, slipped out, and quickly closed the door.

After thinking for a while, she walked to the window, opened the gap a little wider, and said:

"Although it is inconvenient for the patient to be exposed to the wind, you should remember to open the window a little to let in some air, otherwise it is easy to get poisoned."

"Ah?" Hong Xing didn't know there was such a saying. She kept the window open a little, hoping to let some light in.

When she heard that it would be poisonous, she opened her eyes slightly in shock, and nodded with lingering fear: "I understand."

Chu Qi nodded, turned and left.

Hong Xing suddenly remembered something. She didn't seem to open the door today, so how did Xiao Wuzi get in?

Thinking of this, she opened the window a little more and happened to see Xiao Wuzi climbing up the wall flexibly.

The palace is deep and the walls are high. This is not just talk. Even in the cold palace like Chuxiu Palace, the walls are so high that one needs a ladder to climb out.

Seeing Xiao Wuzi rush to the top as if it were flat ground and then flip over, Hong Xing opened her mouth unconsciously in amazement.

She never knew that Xiao Wuzi was so good at climbing over walls!

No wonder she didn’t have to open the door!

Half an hour later, the medicine was finally boiled.

Shi Da Ying was still sleeping, Hong Xing gently woke her up, and she slowly opened her watery eyes, looking confused and dazed as if she didn't know what day it was.

"My lady, wake up and take your medicine." Hong Xing said, and as she helped her up, she put a pillow behind her back.

Take medicine... ?

Shi Qian leaned weakly against the pillow and blinked her eyes. Her confused mind became a little clearer. She turned her head with great effort and saw her maid holding a bowl in her hand, scooping up something steaming with a spoon and blowing on it carefully.

It is best to take medicine for treating fever while it is hot, so that your body can sweat and get better faster.

Hong Xing only blew it for a while, and when she felt it was about right, she brought it to the young lady's mouth: "Young lady, drink the medicine."

The medicine that was handed to her lips had a strong bitter smell and rushed into Shi Ying's nostrils. She wrinkled her slender and beautiful willow-leaf eyebrows subconsciously, but her lips opened obediently. She held the spoon carefully and drank the medicine.

While Hong Xing was blowing the medicine, Shi Qiang opened her mouth and asked in a hoarse voice, "Where did you get the medicine?"

"Xiao Wuzi sent it." Before he finished speaking, Hong Xing fed him another spoonful.

Shi agreed to drink it obediently, and then asked: "How did he know I was sick?"

Her body was tortured by illness, she felt uncomfortable all over and her head was dizzy, but Shi Da Ying was still conscious. When she heard that it was Xiao Wuzi who sent the medicine, her watery eyes flashed with ripples.

My heart seemed to be gripped by something, and it felt sour.

Hong Xing didn't even raise her head: "He said that you were frightened yesterday, so he wanted to come and see you today. Look, there are cakes and green grapes he sent on the table. I asked him to eat some, but he refused."

She coaxed gently: "Come on, take another sip, hold on, you'll finish it soon."

Shi agreed to drink the bitter Chinese medicine with a frown. She felt helpless about Hong Xing treating her like a child. She smiled a little, coughed a few times, curled her lips and said:

"I am no longer a five or six-year-old child who refuses to take medicine. Don't try to trick me, Hong Xing."

It has been a long time since I last got sick. The last time I got sick was seven or eight years ago. Maybe it was because I hadn't been sick for too long, and when I got sick occasionally, my body was directly broken.

Late last night and today, when she occasionally woke up from her sleep, she seemed to see the ancestor smiling at her.

There were several times when she thought she couldn't make it.

Unexpectedly, things took a turn for the better. Xiao Wuzi, who hadn't been here for many days, came to see her today...

Shi Qian felt warm inside, and her young girl's heart was unknowingly opened.

"I thought the young lady was still like she was before, needing to be coaxed for a long time just to drink a sip of medicine!"

Hong Xing also laughed.

Time passed quickly and the bowl of strong Chinese medicine was finished.

There was still more than half of the medicine in the pot. Xiao Wuzi said that one medicine packet should be taken in three times, and she remembered it.

It was not too early now, and Hong Xing thought about giving the young lady another drink in the evening, and then saving the rest for her to drink after breakfast tomorrow.

Then fry the second packet at noon tomorrow.

"Come, my lady, eat some grapes to reduce the bitterness."

Hong Xing knew that grapes could be eaten in moderation when one was sick, so she did not tell the young lady to avoid eating them and picked two or three for her to eat.

Shi Qian had not recovered from a serious illness and had no appetite, but the taste was too bitter in her mouth, so she did not refuse.

After eating the green grapes, the strong smell of medicine in her mouth subsided a little, her brows and eyes relaxed slightly, and she had slept for a long time. She didn't want to sleep anymore, so she forced herself to lean on the pillow.

Covered with the quilt, she felt a little hot. She reached out to open the window wider, but halfway through, she remembered something and said:
