Chapter 531 Qiao Xi's fever does not subside

Qiao Xi has a fever!

The fever was close to 40 degrees and he was unconscious.

Huo Xingzhou invited a doctor to come over and see her. He said that it was due to recent emotional fluctuations and burns on her arms, and prescribed some antipyretic drugs. He was also worried that her fever would not subside, so he gave her an IV drip.

"We need to observe and see if the fever can go away in the afternoon. There are many reasons for fever. It could be that she was too frightened. Another reason is that the toxins from the Chinese medicine juice she came into contact with yesterday when she got a burn penetrated into her skin and the heat toxins have not subsided."

The doctor in a white coat gave Qiao Xi an IV drip and spoke softly.

"If the fever has not subsided by the afternoon, I suggest you go to the hospital for a full body check-up."

"good."

Huo Xingzhou's face was stern.

"Xiao Yuan, send the doctor downstairs."

"Okay, 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 participate in the competition tomorrow? The interval between each round was three days before, but this time it was advanced. They said it was for the accommodation expenses of out-of-town spectators, but I think it 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, his young master’s face means nothing!

"Huo Xingzhou, do you have any solution? She can't lose the competition, otherwise she will not be able 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 enveloped in a chill. He looked at Qiao Xi, who was lying on the bed with a red face, and his heart was filled with endless anger.

"Huo Xingzhou, even you have no way to deal with this?"

Sun Weimeng had a tearful face and Lao Chen beside him patted his shoulder.

"Old Chen!" Sun Weimeng suddenly turned to look at him and said, "Why don't we take our bodyguards and beat up the Xiang and Lu families to vent our anger? I'm feeling very upset! 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. I 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 mean I've lost?

Huo Xingzhou closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, the sharpness in his eyes was clear.

"Sun Weimeng, go and find out Huang Bingyi's whereabouts right now to see if he is 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 to the Li family to check the situation. Last time you said you felt like you were being spied on. We checked the area around the villa but found nothing unusual. Let's go check out the Li family's old house."

Lao Chen's expression froze: "Okay, I'll go right away."

Logically speaking, the Li family had no motive.

But the Li family has a crazy old woman who covets their young master. Who knows what she will do.

"Young Master, where is the doctor just now? Does he need to be protected and let him stay in the villa for the next two days?" The doctor was invited from the Imperial Capital Hospital. He had a good reputation but his background was unknown.

Huo Xingzhou's eyes dimmed: "No need, let him go back to the hospital. There is no need to continue to pay attention to him..."

This means that whoever wants to find out the news can do so.

It doesn't matter whether the doctor is strict or not.

"yes."

Old Chen responded and left the master bedroom silently.

The master bedroom was much quieter.

Huo Xingzhou poured a cup of warm water and gently wiped Qiao Xi's chapped lips with a wet cotton swab, hoping to make her feel better. The back of his hand rested on her forehead.

Qiao Xi closed her eyes tightly, but subconsciously sought for this coolness.

She grabbed his wrist and kept talking 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 violent reaction, it might be a very dangerous situation.

He held her hand with his backhand, and said in a particularly 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 sleep.

Her chest heaved and she sobbed.

Tears kept flowing from the corners of his eyes, and he sobbed, looking very pitiful.

But the person didn't wake up.

Huo Xingzhou's eyes flashed with some distress. He reached out his hand to wipe her tears, not daring to wake her up with too loud a voice.

I heard from the old people that people who are troubled by nightmares cannot be awakened.

But what did she dream about to make 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.

My breathing also became long and calm, as if I had fallen asleep.

Huo Xingzhou finally breathed a sigh of relief.

His eyes slowly moved to the large French window, where curtains blocked out the sunlight.

Only when he arrived in the imperial capital did he realize how 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 lot to waste!

…

In the villa living room.

Lao Chen asked two bodyguards to patrol the area around the villa, but still found nothing unusual. After he walked out of the villa, he still felt like he was being spied on.

I have a deadly intuition that Lao Chen used to be a mercenary!

The feeling of being sniped!

Like a shadow!

He could tell that someone was spying on the villa.

He thought about it, found a hidden place, and took the telescope provided in the villa to take a look.

You won’t know until you see it.

At first glance, I actually found some clues.

This really proves the saying "It's hard to deal with little devils". Sometimes little people are easily overlooked, but their destructive power is enormous.

Lao 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 there quickly.

Mrs. Li was a little surprised to hear that the guests were from the Huo family. 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 branch in the imperial capital was also taken back. Although Mrs. Li felt it was a pity, she felt relieved.

At least she hasn't done anything bad 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."

Lao Chen was soon 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 accompanied him and looked fierce and menacing.

For a moment I wasn't sure what it meant.

"Excuse me...what is the purpose of your visit?"

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 want to see what Miss Li has been doing recently."
