Chapter 233: Forcing Jie Chen to Come Forward
When Xiangying entered the room, Jie Chen was sleeping very soundly.
She walked up and touched his forehead, but only felt a thick layer of sweat.
It seems that the medicine he was given took effect and his fever went down. He must be almost fainting.
No wonder he didn’t hear the loud noise outside the door just now.
Xiangying closed the doors and windows tightly and added more firewood.
She took out dry and comfortable clothes from the space and began to strip Jie Chen.
First, use a warm towel to wipe him from top to bottom.
When she was finally putting clothes on him, Xiangying looked up and found that he was looking at her with his half-open dark eyes, without saying a word.
Xiangying was startled: "You scared me, why didn't you say anything?"
Xie Chen's voice was completely hoarse this time: "Look at what you are doing."
"I didn't do anything. Your clothes were soaked by sweat, so I changed you into new ones."
"Well..." Jie Chen said weakly, "I know, you just rubbed my waist a little too many times."
Xiangying's face suddenly became hot.
It seems that Xie Chen's illness is not serious enough, and he has not fallen into a complete coma.
She coughed lightly and said, "Come and take the medicine when you wake up. Get better soon, so that Lao Liu won't always want to check on you."
When Xie Chen stood in front of the Sixth Prince in good health, the Sixth Prince's eyes would probably pop out of their sockets.
When she fed the medicine to Jie Chen's mouth, he ate whatever she fed him.
Fearing that he would have no resistance if he didn't eat, Xiangying asked the kitchen robot to make a bowl of sick meal.
It was hot fresh meat wontons, served with two handfuls of green vegetables.
She also fed him mouthful by mouthful.
Jie Chen just leaned on the bed, staring at her without blinking, as if he could never see enough of her.
Instead, Xiangying felt a little uncomfortable: "Why do you always look at me? It's not like you haven't seen it before."
A light smile appeared on Xie Chen's lips: "It's been a long time since I looked at you like this. If I get too close, I'm afraid you'll hate me. If I'm too far away, I'm afraid you'll really have nothing to do with me anymore."
"This is the best now. It doesn't matter if I'm sick for a while."
Xiangying reached out and twisted his waist hard.
Xie Chen screamed in pain, but in the blink of an eye, a smile flashed in his thin eyes again.
It’s really strange, the only person who can be so happy after being sick is probably Jie Chen.
Xiangying fed him two anti-inflammatory pills and vitamin water, as well as two tubes of quick supplements from the space.
She just checked Chen's temperature and fortunately, it had dropped to 38 degrees.
"You should get some rest. I'll come again in the middle of the night. The fever should be gone by then."
Xie Chen nodded, and perhaps because he was too tired, he closed his eyes.
Before Xiangying was about to leave, he suddenly said, "If someone bullies you, just do it and kill them. No matter who they are, I will cover for you."
Xiangying paused as he opened the door, and the wind and snow outside blew in.
The flames in the firewood basin also swayed gently.
She glanced sideways and saw that Jie Chen had a sharp and handsome features, but he looked a little weak with his eyes closed.
The reason he made such an explanation was obviously because he had heard about the Sixth Prince making trouble before.
Xie Chen had his own great cause to accomplish, so he was very tolerant towards the Sixth Prince along the way.
But now, he actually hinted to her that if she was wronged, she should not worry about anything.
Because he will take all the blame.
Xiang Ying's eyes dimmed, and she raised her voice, "There are many ways to deal with them, killing them is just the worst option."
"Brothers are meant to share weal and woe. When you're sick and uncomfortable, you, Old Six, won't be able to escape either. Okay, I'm leaving now."
She closed the door and locked it as usual.
When leaving Jie Chen's house, Xiangying met the skinny monkey.
She explained: "I promised Jie Chen that I would distribute supplies. You and your brothers should continue to come to my place tonight to get hot meals."
The skinny monkey was very moved and said, "Thank you, sister-in-law!"
Xiangying returned to the house and took the three little ones and Taoxue and the others to drink the potion to prevent the disease.
And he whispered, "Tell those pirates, as well as Rongrong and the others, to come over quietly and ask me for water."
She had already sewed the blood-stained shirt that the Sixth Prince had his guards bring out into the fox fur cloak for the Sixth Prince.
I heard that the Sixth Prince has happily put it on, so infection is only a matter of time.
Many people will be infected next.
But as long as you take her preventive medicine, basically you will be fine.
Herbs for preventing epidemics had long been added to the food given to the soldiers.
In order not to arouse suspicion, Xiangying asked Taoxue to make Cordyceps chicken soup tonight.
Three large pots of fragrant chicken soup were used to soak the rice, and each person was given two vegetable buns and half a pound of chicken.
Before going to bed, Tao Xue searched around the house.
Xiangying is making the quilts for the three little ones.
Xiang Xiuxiu followed Taoxue, hugged her pillow, and asked while blinking her big eyes.
"Moxue, what are you looking for?"
"I'm looking for the eldest princess' shoes. I put the wet pair by the brazier to warm them. How come they're gone?"
Qi Fengyi frowned: "Is it possible that someone took away the shoes when people were coming and going to get food at night?"
Xiangying smiled and said, "Just take it if you want. I have a lot of shoes, so I'm not afraid of losing them."
At this moment, the door was suddenly kicked open by a guard.
With a bang, the three little ones were startled.
Qi Fengyi immediately stood up and stared at the Sixth Prince's guards who walked in aggressively.
"What do you want to do?"
The Sixth Prince, wearing a cloak, slowly walked into the room.
Xiangying saw his clothes and took two steps back to protect the three little ones.
Her phoenix eyes were sharp and dark: "Sixth Prince, is there something wrong?"
The Sixth Prince held up his dirty robe, on which the footprints were clearly visible.
"That night, a bad guy broke into my house and plotted against me, and almost disfigured me. Now that we have thoroughly investigated, the footprints are the same as the marks on your shoes. Xiangying, what else do you have to quibble about?"
The guard beside him held up the pair of shoes that Xiangying had lost.
Tao Xue was surprised: "So it was stolen by you guys!"
Xiangying sneered and turned to hand the three little ones over to Taoxue and Qi Fengyi.
"Let's talk about some things outside. I really can't praise the Sixth Prince for crowding into this room, looking like he's trying to catch a thief."
She took the initiative to step forward, and the guards stepped back warily.
The Sixth Prince narrowed his eyes and followed him out the door.
"Why, you still want to do it?"
Xiangying didn't do it just for the sake of taking action.
Instead, she felt that the Sixth Prince was such a source of infection, walking around with clothes stained with blood, and she was afraid that he would infect the child.
"Your Highness, it is too hasty to conclude that it was me based on just one shoe print. As you can see, people come to my room every day to collect supplies. If it is so easy for Your Highness to take my shoes, it should be possible for others to do the same."
"How can you be sure it must be me and not someone else?"
The Sixth Prince sneered: "I had expected you to use sophistry. I don't want to waste time talking to you. You, the enemy thief, should have been captured long ago."
"Come here, tie up Xiangying and put him in solitary confinement until I have investigated the matter thoroughly, then we can talk about other things!"
Before he came, he had already discussed with Xiang Qianqian that taking action against Xiang Ying this time would be beneficial rather than harmful.
By locking her up, we can monopolize those supplies, and maybe even force Jie Chen to come forward.
The guards came forward with a rope, and Xiangying raised his hands to resist.
There was a flash of murderous intent in her eyes. At this moment, a loud bang came from the window not far away.
A chair was used as a sharp weapon and broke through the window and fell out.
Immediately afterwards, Jie Chen's figure jumped out of the window.
In the wind and snow, his thin inner garment was particularly conspicuous. When the cold wind blew, Xie Chen raised his head, his thin eyes were bloodshot and red.
He coughed violently and walked closer slowly: "Let her go."
A hint of sinister ecstasy flashed in the Sixth Prince's eyes.
"Jie Chen, are you infected with the plague?" He pretended to be surprised.
As soon as the words were spoken, everyone around was shocked.
