There were probably three or four quilts pressing down on Sun Wanqing.

This quilt is filled with cotton, so it's quite heavy.

The quilt that Old Mrs. Chen sewed for Su Yun'er looked about the same thickness as one of Sun Wanqing's quilts. That one quilt was enough to make it difficult for Su Yun'er to turn over. Sun Wanqing is so thin and weak, what if she gets hurt by these quilts?

"My lady doesn't know, the young lady keeps saying she's cold. The charcoal fire in this room is burning so brightly, but she still feels cold. We had no choice but to cover her with so many blankets," the old woman said in a low voice.

"But even after changing so many blankets and lighting so much charcoal, the girl still won't sweat. The doctors all say that without sweating, the fever can't be brought down. Oh, what can we do?"

As she spoke, Su Yun'er noticed several beads of sweat rolling down her forehead.

Looking at Sun Wanqing again, there wasn't a drop of sweat on her forehead. She lay there pitifully with her eyes closed, looking so sickly that it broke one's heart.

Su Yun'er didn't delay any longer. After returning to the main hall, she said that she had already decided what to cook for Sun Wanqing.

Madam Huo was overjoyed and quickly had a servant take Su Yun'er to the kitchen.

The servants in the kitchen were also ready. Apart from one or two small stoves and a few people who were reserved to wait for the old lady's needs, the other large stoves and servants in the kitchen were all at Su Yun'er's disposal.

Based on the list she had made in her mind, Su Yun'er asked the kitchen staff to find her a few things.

Sweet fermented rice, high-quality tea, and a few excellent fresh beef ribs.

As for the remaining ingredients such as eggs and ginger, Su Yun'er could simply find them herself in the kitchen's supplies pile.

"What does Madam intend to do? Could you teach us some of the steps?" said a nanny in charge of the kitchen.

"That's good. Having someone to help will make things faster. I need to peel the ginger, boil the fermented rice wine with water in a pot, and then beat in some egg liquid."

Before he could finish speaking, someone immediately turned around and got to work, and in no time, everything was ready.

Su Yun'er shredded the ginger and added it to the fermented rice wine to simmer. When the ginger flavor was extracted, she added some sugar and cooked it until it was completely dissolved. Then she quickly poured the egg liquid into the pot. As soon as the silky egg liquid entered the boiling water, it immediately formed egg flowers.

The fermented rice, ginger, and egg soup was ready, and it was put into a clay pot and immediately sent to Sun Wanqing's courtyard.

Old Madam Huo had already moved to Sun Wanqing's bedside. Su Yun'er opened the lid of the casserole, and the aroma of wine was sweet with a hint of ginger spiciness. Old Madam Huo immediately became worried: This is not what my granddaughter likes to eat. Is this okay?

She looked at Granny Wen with concern. Granny Wen understood and whispered in her ear, "Don't worry, Madam. Wait and see. Last time, this Lady Su also made several dishes that the young lady didn't like, but she liked them very much."

Madam Huo pursed her lips and could only nod.

Su Yun'er served Sun Wanqing a bowl of fermented rice wine with ginger and eggs, waking her up.

Sun Wanqing was not sleeping soundly, but she was in poor spirits. When she was called, she hummed in response, but she was slow to open her eyes.

Su Yun'er patiently waited for her to open her eyes and look at her.

After seeing the person in front of her clearly, Sun Wanqing's pale face regained some color, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, and she curved her chapped lips into a smile.

She opened her mouth to speak, but her voice was hoarse and she couldn't utter a sound.

Su Yun'er quickly gestured for her to stop talking: "I know you're feeling weak and unwell. Don't talk, eat something. I specially made you a sweet fermented rice and ginger egg soup to warm you up and dispel the cold."

Upon hearing that she was to be given something to eat, Sun Wanqing's face immediately contorted in pain, and she shook her head gently, on the verge of tears.

Su Yun'er continued to persuade, "I know you don't want to eat, but you can't not eat. You must know the reasons behind it. Just listen to me and have a bite. See if you like it."

A tear rolled down Sun Wanqing's cheek, and Su Yun'er reached out to wipe it away for her. Sun Wanqing finally nodded.

The maids immediately stepped forward to help Sun Wanqing get up and sit against the headboard.

Under the expectant and nervous gazes of Madam Huo and the other servants, Su Yun'er scooped up a spoonful of soup, avoiding the rice grains, ginger shreds, and egg drop, skimming off only the clear broth, blowing on it, and bringing it to Sun Wanqing's lips.

Sun Wanqing drank it.

People who are sick and have a fever lose moisture from their bodies due to the high temperature, resulting in a lack of saliva in their mouths and a sticky, uncomfortable feeling. Sun Wanqing was the same, especially since her mouth was bitter. At this moment, a little sweet soup made her feel quite comfortable, but then a hint of ginger spiciness appeared in her mouth, which disappeared in an instant.

She frowned, wanting to push him away and say she didn't want to eat, but as soon as she opened her mouth, Su Yun'er fed her another spoonful.

After taking two sips of soup, Sun Wanqing felt better in her mouth and throat.

"Is it not so bad?" Su Yun'er used the method of coaxing people to take medicine that she learned in her previous life, feeding Sun Wanqing spoonful by spoonful. At first, the first few spoonfuls were just soup, but later she gradually started to add rice and egg drop soup.

After fermentation and cooking, the rice grains become very loose in texture, so even if you don't chew them, they won't increase the burden on your stomach. The same goes for egg drop soup.

So in the end, Sun Wanqing actually ate a whole night's worth of fermented rice, ginger, and egg soup.

When the last bite was fed into Sun Wanqing's mouth, and Sun Wanqing did not spit it out, the old lady next to her was so happy that she almost cried.

"Great, Wanqing has finally started eating."

"She's sweating! She's sweating! The girl is finally starting to sweat!"

After finishing a bowl of hot, sweet and spicy fermented rice with ginger and eggs, Sun Wanqing finally started to sweat.

"Quickly, close all the doors and windows, don't let the cold wind blow on the young lady anymore," Old Madam Huo said immediately.

The doors and windows were all properly secured. Su Yun'er said, "Madam, please have the servants open a window to let in some fresh air. This room is too stuffy, it's lacking..."

Su Yun'er originally wanted to say that there was a lack of oxygen, but she figured no one would understand, so she changed her words: "But don't close it too tightly, it's not good if you can't breathe properly."

An old maid reminded Madam Huo that the doctor had also advised that the room should be well-ventilated. Madam Huo then remembered this and hurriedly asked someone to open a window in the distance to let in some fresh air.

Su Yun'er then had the extra blankets removed from Sun Wanqing's body, leaving only one blanket.

The maids kept wiping away the sweat from Sun Wanqing's brow.

It wasn't until half an hour later that Sun Wanqing's complexion finally regained some color and her expression improved.

"After sweating it out, I felt so much more relaxed." She said in a hoarse voice, a smile tugging at the corners of her mouth.

Old Madam Huo sat on the edge of the bed, holding her hand in her palm, stroking it reluctantly: "Good child, you frightened your grandmother."

"Thank you for your trouble, Sister Su." Sun Wanqing thanked Su Yun'er.

After talking for a while, Sun Wanqing felt better, and when she felt more energetic, she also had a better appetite.

"Sister Su, I'm hungry." She smiled shyly, her face still a little pale, with a touch of girlish bashfulness.
