Chapter 101 Why bother explaining? She doesn't dislike me.
Youyu dragged Jiang Ce out of Li Wu's house in the afternoon.
He went out early in the morning and went to Shen Zhe's house first, but Shen Zhe said that Jiang Ce only stayed for a short while before leaving.
Youyu went to the Zheng residence and the Mingyi Earl's residence one after the other, but Zheng Shaoyu was not in the capital. Xiao Huaiting, on the other hand, ran into him at his own door after court.
Xiao Huaiting was surprised at the time: "Why are you here?"
Yu said, "I came to find Erlang, but he is neither at Shenzhe's house nor at Zheng's residence."
Xiao Huaiting thought for a moment: "Why don't you go look for him at the Li residence in Jidi Lane? Maybe he's gone to see Li Wu?"
Yu immediately rode her horse to Jidi Lane and knocked on the door of the Li residence.
It wasn't until Xiao Tong hurriedly found Li Wu that he led You Yu to open the door and pulled up Jiang Ce, who was still hungover.
Li Wu said, "He arrived in the middle of the night, asked to stay overnight, and that's how he got here."
Youyu hurriedly helped him put on his clothes and shoes. Jiang Ce was still dazed: "Did your second sister-in-law send you?"
"You didn't know that your second sister-in-law went to see her father off as he left the capital?"
Jiang Ce suddenly became more sober, but then he got angry: "She didn't tell me, how would I know!"
Yu helped him put on his clothes and shoes, then hurriedly said goodbye to Li Wu and left with Jiang Ce.
Are you taking me to see my father-in-law off now?
"..." Yu didn't even have time to glare at him, and directly pushed him onto the carriage. "He left the capital a long time ago. When I came to find you, His Majesty had urgently ordered Third Uncle to leave the capital!"
Jiang Ce instantly snapped to attention, grabbed You Yu, and asked seriously, "What is it?"
Yu: "I don't know either."
Jiang Ce frowned, a vague guess forming in his mind: "When did Third Uncle leave?"
"It's still possible to catch up in the afternoon."
Without saying a word, Jiang Ce stopped the carriage and rode out of the city with You Yu.
They chased and rushed, finally catching up with Jiang Shiyu just before evening.
Jiang Shiyu hadn't expected them to rush out so quickly, so he had to stop for the time being.
"Why are you here?"
Jiang Ce asked him, "His Majesty is in such a hurry to send Third Uncle back to Liangzhou, is there something wrong in Liangzhou?"
Jiang Shiyu smiled and said, "Don't worry, Liangzhou is fine for now. I've been away for a long time, and I should have gone back anyway."
Jiang Ce seized upon the word: "temporarily".
He took a breath, his expression unusually serious, and asked him in a low voice, "Is there going to be a war?"
Jiang Ce pointed it out so directly, and Jiang Shiyu neither denied it nor responded.
"Nothing has happened yet, so don't panic. After several years of peace, His Majesty has no intention of starting another war."
Jiang Ce replied, "We don't want to, but someone is keeping us in line, so we have no choice but to get up."
Jiang Shiyu patted him on the shoulder: "Bo Zhou, we won't see any progress on this matter until I return to Liangzhou."
He smiled and said, "Bo Zhou, you've only been married a short time. Don't waste your time on meaningless things. Spend more time with your wife."
【Guanyin Lakeside - Seeking a Fortune Stick】
Two years ago, Xue Chan registered her identity here when she came to the capital.
He couldn't recognize her handwriting at the time, so he couldn't find it. But now he has found it.
"Life is rarely shared, so let us cherish the time we have together."
He suddenly regretted it, realizing how naive he had been.
They actually got angry, upset, and even ran away from home over something so meaningless.
This feeling is like a blind person lighting a candle in the dark, not knowing when the flame will burn out or where they will end up.
Jiang Ce closed his eyes, exhaled, and strode quickly toward home.
He should go find Xue Chan.
Jiang Ce strode forward, then ran, heading towards the place where his soul had returned.
Jiang Ce thought about this all the way back to the Marquis's residence, and it was already dark when he returned.
The servants lit lanterns, and he watched as the light from them slowly spread out, growing brighter inch by inch.
Just past the small pond, one could see people coming and going busily in and out of the courtyard.
He felt uneasy and rushed into the room, grabbing Chu Tao who was coming out of the house: "What happened!"
Chu Tao relaxed slightly upon seeing him, her eyes filled with tears: "My wife is ill; she has a fever right now."
Jiang Ce rushed into the room, lifted the curtain, and knelt down beside the bed.
Xue Chan had her eyes tightly closed; she had already fallen into a coma due to the high fever.
Jiang Ce asked Yun Sheng, who was standing beside him, "Have you had a doctor examine you?"
Yun Sheng nodded: "I've already consulted them. They said the fever was caused by catching a cold and being exposed to the scorching sun. They've already prescribed medicine. It's just that the illness progressed quickly and the fever is high. We'll see if the fever can break tonight."
Jiang Ce didn't say anything, but took the handkerchief from her hand: "Go ahead and do your work, I'll take care of her."
He had Yun Sheng, Chu Tao, and the others take turns watching over her from night until morning, but Xue Chan's fever still hadn't subsided much.
Jiang Ce immediately sent someone to the palace to request leave, and also sent someone to find Marquis Wu'an to invite the imperial physician to the palace.
Wen Yi arrived around noon, and as soon as he entered, he saw Jiang Ce, whose eyes were bloodshot from exhaustion, kneeling on the floor beside the bed.
Upon seeing her, Jiang Ce immediately stood up. His legs had been numb for a long time, and he fell down again as soon as he stood up.
Wen Yizheng quickly helped her up, but Jiang Ce waved his hand and said, "Don't worry about me, you take care of her first!"
She immediately opened her medicine kit to check his pulse, and then administered acupuncture.
Jiang Ce stood to the side, just staring at him.
After a long period of busy work, during which time Madam Yu also rushed back from Jixiang Temple and had people take care of things.
Just as Wen Yi was closing his medicine box, Jiang Ce suddenly jumped up: "How is it?"
The physician said, "Once her fever goes down, she'll be halfway there. I'll go write the prescription, get the medicine, and prepare it. Lord Jiang will have someone take care of her for now."
Jiang Ce bowed to her and said, "Thank you, Physician Wen."
Wen Yizheng returned the greeting and immediately went out with Chu Tao.
Jiang Ce sat on the edge of the bed, touched Xue Chan's forehead, which was still quite hot. He grasped her hand and lowered his head heavily.
Yu Niangzi approached and said, "You should lie down for a while and eat something. Otherwise, if you also collapse, you won't be able to take care of her."
Jiang Ce immediately let go of Xue Chan's hand, lay down straight on the daybed, and forced himself to close his eyes and go to sleep.
About an hour later, he opened his eyes and sat down by Xue Chan's bedside again.
I would touch it almost every few minutes, until I lost count of how many times I had touched it.
Jiang Ce grabbed Yu Niangzi's hand and said, "Mother! Touch her, has her fever gone down?"
Yu Niangzi stepped forward and touched it, then breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Yes, it's much cooler than this morning."
It was past noon, and Yun Sheng had just finished preparing a meal for Wen Yi when he heard the news and rushed over immediately.
She examined him carefully and finally smiled, saying, "You've made it through. Now you just need to take your medicine on time and rest and recover."
Hearing this, everyone in the room finally relaxed a little.
Jiang Ce saw off Doctor Wen, spent the afternoon with Xue Chan, and then had a quick dinner with Madam Yu before going inside.
He brought in a bamboo chair and placed it next to the bed, then lay down on it and held Xue Chan's hand.
He would wake up at the slightest sound.
And so another night passed, and Xue Chan still did not wake up.
Jiang Ce sat on the footstool by the bed, staring blankly at Xue Chan's face.
He held her hand, and soon began to cry by the bedside. After crying for a while, he wiped away his tears haphazardly, carefully feeding her water while sobbing and muttering to himself.
“I didn’t mean to be angry with you. I just felt annoyed that you found me annoying and said I was irritating, and I was a little unhappy about it. But you completely ignored me and didn’t care whether I was happy or angry. I felt like you didn’t care about me at all.”
"I just feel unbalanced. I like you so much, but you only like me a little bit. I just feel a bit resentful..."
He took a deep breath and wiped her face and hands, tears streaming down his face.
"But I've also figured it out, none of that matters. As long as we're together, that's all that matters. I like you a little more, so be it. I'm willing to like you a little more."
"If you don't like me bothering you, I won't bother you anymore."
As he spoke, his throat suddenly felt constricted, and he struggled to breathe. After trying for a while, all he could do was bury his face in her hands and keep muttering to himself.
"I'm so sorry..."
Jiang Ce buried his face in her palm, and after a while he felt her touching his face.
Why didn't you just tell me? I thought... everything was over.
He immediately raised his face, and Xue Chan opened her eyes, but she was still very tired and sickly.
"I'll go find someone!"
"Wait!" Xue Chan pulled him back with difficulty, panting as she said, "Sit down and listen to me."
Jiang Ce shook his head: "No need to say anything, none of this matters."
Xue Chan shook her head: "These words are very important, you must listen to me."
She was quite persistent, clinging to him and refusing to let go.
Jiang Ce helped her sit up, put a pillow behind her back so she could lean against it, and then sat quietly by the bed waiting for her to speak.
Xue Chan closed her eyes and took a deep breath. After gathering some strength, she opened her eyes again, her gaze very serious.
"Jiang Ce, first of all, I need to correct something. I don't dislike you; in fact, I think I quite like you. Although it may not be as much as you like me, compared to others, I think I still like you quite a bit."
"Secondly, I do not like you bothering me when I am doing things, but when I say you are annoying, it does not mean I hate you."
"Third, I feel very happy and joyful when I'm with you, and these are things that no one else has ever given me before."
Jiang Ce reached out to help her catch her breath: "Don't say anymore, don't say anymore, I know everything."
Xue Chan grabbed his wrist and stared at him intently, asking, "Do you understand all of this now?"
Jiang Ce nodded and responded solemnly.
"I understand everything."
Xue Chan felt that she had been living too comfortably, and many things were unnecessary for her. But Jiang Ce cared a lot, especially about things that needed to be expressed verbally. However, she was delirious with fever, but she kept hearing Jiang Ce rambling on and on, talking a lot and noisily.
I was going to get angry, but after thinking about it, I decided to let it go.
She doesn't dislike it.
Xue Chan closed her eyes and fell back onto the bed.
Jiang Ce put his arm around her and hurriedly tried to call for help.
Xue Chan took two more breaths, clutched his clothes, and uttered her last words before fainting.
"I want...roasted white goose..."
Although Xue Chan had been recuperating for a month and was almost fully recovered, she still hadn't been able to eat.
