"What's wrong?" Qin Xi put down her chopsticks and asked, puzzled.
Lu Huai shook his head, his voice slightly choked: "It's nothing."
Seeing this, Qin Qi frowned with concern: "Should we go back and rest for a while?"
Lu Huai nodded haphazardly, got up and prepared to walk back, but the next second he suddenly collapsed to the ground.
"Lu Huai—!" In that instant, Qin Xi felt her heart almost stop beating.
She hurriedly lifted her skirt and ran to his side, hugging him tightly. Seeing his flushed cheeks, Qin Xi subconsciously reached out and touched his forehead.
It turns out she had a fever.
As her tense nerves relaxed, Qin Qi almost lost her balance, but thankfully a maid was following behind her.
"Quickly, help the second young master back to the courtyard and fetch the family physician!" Looking at the panicked crowd, Lu Chuan spoke calmly.
"Yes, yes, yes! Quickly go and fetch the imperial physician!" Minister Lu gestured to the steward. Then he turned to Qin Qi and said, "Yizhi, you should go back and rest for a while too."
Qin Xi bit her lower lip and shook her head: "My daughter-in-law is fine."

Illness strikes like a landslide. After the physician's diagnosis, it was confirmed that Lu Huai had indeed caught a cold, and Qin Xi finally felt relieved.
She looked around and noticed that A-Yu, who always followed Lu Huai, was not there. Qin Xi frowned: "Where's A-Yu?"
The servants all shook their heads, indicating that they did not know. Even the steward did not know where he had gone. Only Su Ying, who was in the shadows, had a complicated expression.
“Since it’s just a cold, you don’t need to worry too much. Changjue is in good health and will be fine in a couple of days,” Lu Chuan said.
Qin Qi nodded, then said to the physician, "Dr. Zheng, thank you for your trouble."
Doctor Zheng was already a little out of breath after taking the pulse. The last time he was this breathless was also in this young master's courtyard, but he was treating the second mistress. This time, it was the other way around.
"Young Madam, you flatter me. I'll write a prescription right away. Just take two doses of the medicine and you'll be better in a couple of days," he said, wiping the fine sweat from his brow.
Qin Qi breathed a sigh of relief and finally felt at ease.
After Doctor Zheng finished writing the prescription, she asked several servants to look after Lu Huai while she went to decoct the medicine herself.
-
Half an hour later.
Lu Huai, lying on the bed, had dry, pale lips. He frowned uncomfortably and slowly opened his eyes.
The first thing I saw was a pair of clear and elegant eyes, which seemed familiar, as if I had seen them in a dream.
Um……?
……wrong.
Why do those eyes look so familiar?
Lu Huai rubbed his eyes, and with a little fatigue, he turned his eyeballs. He saw A Yu standing in front of him, and those clear, handsome eyes were his own.
Seeing that his eyes were fixed on him without moving, A-Yu subconsciously flashed the brightest smile of his life, perfectly revealing eight teeth: "Young Master, you're awake."
Lu Huai: "..." Why is it this idiot again?
He covered his eyes, not wanting to see A-Yu anymore: "Why are you back? Didn't I tell Su-Ying to take you away?"
Ayu scratched his head: "It was Suying who asked me to come back. He said you had no one to take care of you."
Lu Huai remained silent. He only had these two trusted confidants. Su Ying was the head of the Shadow Guards, and indeed, he couldn't show himself casually.
but……
"Is there anything I need to be taken care of?" he said, and was about to get up when his legs suddenly went weak and he almost knelt on the ground.
Ayu hurriedly caught him and helped him sit down on the bed: "No, young master. You've caught a cold and can't get out of bed yet."
Cold?
Lu Huai frowned. When did he catch a cold?
He was healthy from a young age. Even though he never practiced martial arts, his body was much stronger than that of his peers, and he rarely caught a cold.
He was somewhat skeptical of Ayu's words.
