Chapter 157: Under the Absolute Strength, No One Can Escape
Seeing that there was sweat on his forehead, she hurriedly wrung out a sweat towel to wipe it. After finally seeing that his expression had calmed down a little, she put the sweat towel back on the shelf.
Chen Heng finally had time to look around the room. It was very simple, with just a table, a chair, a bed, and a small bookshelf.
"These books." Chen Heng flipped open the books. There were annotations on every page. The words flowed smoothly and revealed a calm and steady attitude. This was Lord Lu's handwriting, exactly the same as the calligraphy he had given to Xie Jian two days ago.
Is this Lu Ji'an's house?
Chen Heng flipped through another book. It wasn't a book, but a handwritten manuscript with only two words written on it. Just as she was about to put it aside, she found a piece of paper stuck in the book. She pulled it out and saw a line of words written on it:
Persuade people with words for a moment, persuade people with books for a hundred generations.
Just as Shen Heng was thinking about the meaning of these words, she heard some movement on the bed. She hurried over and found that Lord Lu looked uneasy. She reached out and touched his forehead and found that he had a fever.
Doctor Qi had warned him that he would have a fever, but Chen Heng didn't panic. She just took a hand towel and kept wiping the sweat from his forehead.
At this moment, Lu Ji'an slowly opened his eyes. When he saw the person in front of him clearly, he was slightly startled: "Chen Heng?"
"Sir, are you awake?" Shen Heng said happily.
"Why are you here?"
Chen Heng told her about Gu Feng coming to call her.
"Ridiculous! How could I ask you to take care of me?" Lu Ji'an said weakly, seeing that they were alone in the room, "Go home immediately. Don't tell anyone about what happened today. It will ruin your reputation."
"If I leave, no one will come to take care of you." Chen Heng knew that etiquette was strict. Seeing Lu Ji'an like this, she couldn't just leave. If there was really no other way, why would Gu Feng come to call her?
"I'm fine."
"Your Excellency has a fever and can barely speak. How can you be alright?"
Lu Ji'an was indeed weak all over, and the fever made him a little drowsy. He knew that men and women must be careful to avoid harming Chen Heng: "Chen Heng, I'm really fine, you..." He suddenly opened his eyes, only to hear Chen Heng's hand on his forehead.
"Sir, it's time to take your medicine." It was getting hotter and hotter. Chen Heng withdrew her hand, took out the herbs that were warm in the cup beside her and put them on the table: "Don't worry, sir, no one knows I'm here. I cherish my reputation and yours, so I will be extra careful. I won't go back tonight if you look like this." As she said that, she helped him up.
Lu Ji'an was only wearing his undershirt at this time, the rest of his clothes had been taken off by the doctor. From childhood to adulthood, he had never been so undignified to be with a woman. "Chen Heng, I can do it myself."
Chen Heng knew that Lu Ji'an had an excellent upbringing, was self-disciplined and cautious, and had a clear mind. He couldn't handle the current situation alone, so she didn't listen to him.
"Chen Heng, thank you very much. I can come by myself." Lu Ji'an spoke again, hoping that she would let him go.
Only after using a pillow to slightly elevate his head did Shen Heng withdraw her hand and hand the herbs to him. A smile flashed in her eyes. Hey, she had seen everything. What was there to be shy about at such a young age?
Lu Ji'an took the herbal medicine and drank it all in one gulp. He looked up and saw Chen Heng looking at him with a smile on her face. He coughed slightly and said, "I'm fine."
"Don't worry, sir. The most important thing is to take good care of your injuries." Shen Heng leaned over and helped him cover the quilt again.
Don't mind? Lu Ji'an looked at the woman in front of him who was concentrating on covering her with a blanket and said, "Have you ever thought about Ajian when you take care of a stranger like this?"
