When Li Zhen woke up, she found herself sleeping in Lin Xue's arms.

The little one carefully shifted his body, and only after Jinxue came to her senses did he softly call out.

"Zhenbao is awake. Is she still feeling unwell?"

Lin Xue touched Li Zhen's forehead and found that it was no longer hot.

"I feel very relaxed and not uncomfortable at all, but I'm a little hungry!"

Li Zhen touched her stomach, unaware that she had developed a fever that afternoon.

He was half asleep at the time, and children don't really understand what it means to be sick.

"Ahui, go and bring over the millet porridge prepared for Zhenbao!"

Lin Xue gave an instruction to He Ahui, who was anxiously waiting beside her, and then got up from where she was lying.

"Mother, the millet porridge is here. Let me feed Zhenbao some!"

He Ahui was holding a small bowl, which emitted a rich aroma of porridge.

"I'll feed Zhenbao some porridge. Go check on Shunbao and boil some water to wipe Zhenbao's sweat later!"

"Go back and change the child into some dry clothes. The fever has just subsided, so we can't let him catch a cold again!"

Lin Xue took the bowl of porridge from He Ahui's hand, blew on it to cool it down spoonful by spoonful, and fed it to Li Zhen.

"I just checked, Shunbao's fever has gone down, and he ate a bowl of rice porridge. He's sleeping soundly now!"

As He Ahui spoke, she added a spoonful of cold water to the pot of boiling water and explained to Lin Xue in a low voice.

"That's good. After you've finished wiping the baby down, you should get some rest too. You've been working up a sweat all night!"

After feeding the child the millet porridge, Lin Xue put the bowl aside and gestured for He Ahui to wipe the child's body.

She turned over and pulled out a piece of clothing from the large basket; Li Zhen's little clothes were placed aside.

Once Li Zhen has finished wiping herself off, she can change into the new clothes.

"Mother, you've been worrying about this for most of the night. It's still early before dawn, so you should get some sleep. I'll stay here and watch over things!"

After tidying up Li Zhen, He Ahui advised Lin Xue to rest early.

"There are guards outside. Let's all get some sleep, otherwise we won't have the energy to travel tomorrow!"

Lin Xue touched Li Zhen's little face. Little Zhen had just recovered from her fever and was sleepy again after eating something.

The three of them huddled together and quickly fell asleep.
