Chapter 531 Qiao Xi's High Fever
Qiao Xi has a fever!
The fever was close to 40 degrees and he was unconscious.
Huo Xingzhou called a doctor over to see her. He simply said it was due to recent emotional fluctuations and the burn on her arm, and prescribed some fever-reducing medicine. Worried that her fever wouldn't subside, he put her on an IV drip.
"We need to observe and see if the fever subsides this afternoon. There are many reasons for a fever. It could be due to excessive shock, or the toxins from the Chinese medicine juice she came into contact with during her burn yesterday have seeped into her skin, and the heat and toxins haven't subsided yet."
The doctor in a white coat gave Qiao Xi an IV drip and spoke softly.
"If the fever hasn't subsided by the afternoon, I recommend going to the hospital for a full-body checkup."
"good."
Huo Xingzhou's face was cold.
"Xiaoyuan, send the doctor downstairs."
"Yes, Master."
Xiaoyuan didn't dare to say anything more. She called a doctor and went downstairs.
Sun Weimeng walked around the bed, looking a little anxious.
"Qiao Xi has a fever. How can she compete tomorrow? The interval between each round was three days before, but this time it was moved up. They said it was to consider the accommodation expenses of out-of-town spectators, but I feel like this is a conspiracy against Qiao Xi. They will do anything to make Qiao Xi lose the game!"
I really hate that this is not Haicheng!
Otherwise he could be of some help.
It’s a pity that in the eyes of these people in the imperial capital, Young Master Sun’s face is nothing!
"Huo Xingzhou, do you have any solution? She can't lose the competition, otherwise she will be unable to practice medicine for the rest of her life, and Qiao Xi will suffer for the rest of her life!"
Practicing medicine is her lifelong dream!
Huo Xingzhou was shrouded in coldness. He looked at Qiao Xi, whose face was flushed with fever, lying on the bed, and endless anger surged in his heart.
"Huo Xingzhou, even you have no other options?"
Sun Weimeng had a sad face, and Lao Chen next to him patted his shoulder.
"Old Chen!" Sun Weimeng suddenly turned to look at him and said, "How about we bring our bodyguards and beat up the Xiang and Lu families to vent our anger? I'm feeling really pent up! If I don't vent this anger, I won't be able to sleep tonight!"
"Young Master Sun, hitting someone is against the law. Please calm down. The young master will definitely find a way. Besides, what if the young mistress's fever subsides in the afternoon?"
if?
That's uncertainty.
What if the fever doesn't go away? What if I can't get up tomorrow? Wouldn't that be a loss?
Huo Xingzhou closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, the sharpness in his eyes seemed to be real.
"Sun Weimeng, go and find out Huang Bingyi's whereabouts right now to see if he's at the Zhong family or out."
"Okay. But what does this have to do with Qiao Xi..."
“Just do it.”
Huo Xingzhou spoke in a cold tone. Sun Weimeng nodded obediently and ran out.
"Old Chen."
"Master, what do you want?"
"Take the bodyguards and go to the Li family's house to check out the situation. Last time you said you felt like you were being watched. We've checked the area around the villa and found nothing unusual, so let's go check out the Li family's old house."
Lao Chen's expression was stern: "Okay, I'll go right away."
Logically speaking, the Li family had no motive.
But the Li family has a crazy woman who covets their young master. Who knows what she will do.
"Young Master, what about the doctor we saw just now? Does he need to be protected and asked to stay in the villa for the next two days?" He was a doctor invited from a major hospital in the imperial capital. He had a good reputation but his background was unknown.
Huo Xingzhou's eyes dimmed slightly: "No need, let him go back to the hospital. There's no need to keep an eye on him..."
This means that whoever wants to find out the information can do so.
It doesn't matter whether the doctor keeps his mouth shut or not.
"yes."
Old Chen responded and quietly left the master bedroom.
The master bedroom was much quieter.
Huo Xingzhou poured a cup of warm water and gently wiped Qiao Xi's chapped lips with a damp cotton swab, hoping to make her feel better. The back of his hand was warm and cool and rested on her forehead.
Qiao Xi closed her eyes tightly, but subconsciously sought for the coolness.
She grabbed his wrist and kept mumbling in her sleep.
"Huo Xingzhou!"
“Don’t go…”
Huo Xingzhou whispered, "I'm not going."
He didn't know what scene she dreamed about, but judging from her intense reaction, it might be a very dangerous situation.
He held her hand with his backhand, and said in a very gentle and careful tone: "I'm not going anywhere. I'll stay here with you. Don't be afraid..."
Qiao Xi struggled and cried out in her dream.
Her chest heaved and she sobbed.
Tears kept flowing from the corners of his eyes, and he sobbed and looked very pitiful.
But the man didn't wake up at all.
Huo Xingzhou's eyes flashed with heartache. He reached out to wipe her tears, not daring to wake her up with too loud a noise.
I heard from the old people that people who are trapped in nightmares cannot be awakened.
But what did she dream about that made her so sad?
"Qiao Xi, don't cry. I will always be by your side. Don't cry..."
Huo Xingzhou comforted her gently.
After a while, Qiao Xi gradually calmed down.
His breathing also became long and calm, as if he was asleep.
Huo Xingzhou finally breathed a sigh of relief.
His gaze slowly moved to the large floor-to-ceiling window, where gauze curtains blocked out the sunlight.
Only when he arrived in the imperial capital did he realize that there were so many things he could not do.
He is not omnipotent!
But there is still a long time to go, and he and them will have a long time to waste!
…
In the living room of the villa.
Lao Chen hired two bodyguards to patrol the area around the villa, but found nothing unusual. After he left the villa, he still felt like he was being watched.
Lao Chen used to be a mercenary, what a deadly intuition!
The feeling of being sniped!
Like a shadow!
He could conclude that someone must be spying on the villa.
He thought about it and found a hidden place, then took the telescope provided in the villa to investigate.
You won’t know until you see it.
After a quick look, I actually found some clues.
This really proves the saying "little devils are difficult to deal with". Sometimes small people are easily overlooked, but their destructive power is enormous.
Old Chen immediately found two bodyguards and went to the Li family's old house with him.
The two houses were less than a kilometer apart, and they arrived quickly.
Mrs. Li was a little surprised to hear that it was the Huo family's guest. Ever since Li Nianqi expressed such shameless thoughts, the Huo family had almost severed ties with them.
Even the relationship between the Liu family and their Li family has become much weaker.
The jewelry store in the capital was also taken back. Although Mrs. Li felt it was a pity, she felt relieved.
At least she hasn't done anything wrong in her life.
But I still feel a little guilty.
She put down her teacup and said to the servant, "Go and ask them to come in."
"yes."
Old Chen was quickly welcomed in as a guest of honor.
The old lady saw that there was no Huo Xingzhou and Qiao Xi behind him, but only two bodyguards, who looked very menacing.
For a moment I wasn't sure what it meant.
"Excuse me...what brings you here?"
Old Mrs. Li asked patiently.
Old Chen didn't bother to be polite and said, "Madam Li, I came here on the orders of our young master. I wanted to see what Miss Li has been doing recently."
