Chapter 217 Go pick up Zhong Yuan in person
Shen Qingtan dipped the spoon in water again and moistened Zhao Yi's lips.
The cold sweat stopped beading on his forehead and the flush on his face faded a little.
Shen Qingtan touched Zhao Yi's forehead, then touched his hand. It was no longer as hot as it was during the day, but warm.
She was holding her heart tightly together, but finally relaxed.
That kind of fear crept into my heart.
Shen Qingtan snuggled up to his pillow, wrapped one arm around him, and buried her face in his neck.
Today, just seeing him suffer from the pain of taking medicine, waves of piercing pain surged up, almost breaking her heart into pieces. She didn't dare to imagine the consequences of losing him.
Shen Qingtan tightened his grip and hugged him tightly.
Zhao Yi's eyelashes trembled and he slowly opened his eyes.
All I could see was darkness, with only a ray of dim light coming in from outside.
His consciousness slowly returned, and he felt a soft body leaning in his arms, wrapping its arms around his neck intimately.
Just as Zhao Yi was about to speak, a hot tear fell into his neck.
He was stunned for a moment, and when he raised his hand, his bones ached.
With his large palm covering the back of Shen Qingtan's head, Zhao Yi called out, "Manman."
Shen Qingtan's whole body stiffened for a moment, as if she was in a dream. She did not move, but just tightened her hands and hugged him tighter.
"Cough... cough..." Zhao Yi's voice was hoarse: "Manman, if you tighten it a little more, I won't be able to breathe."
Shen Qingtan quickly let go of her hand and looked up at him.
He just pulled the corners of his lips towards her and slowly revealed a faint smile.
Like the phantom she saw in the water.
She reached out and stroked his face, her fingertips touching his eyelashes. She watched his eyes blink gently, and her fingertips felt a slight itch.
She seemed to have burst the bubble and saw the reality.
"Erlang."
"I am here."
Shen Qingtan heard his response and asked in a trembling voice, "What's wrong with you?"
Zhao Yi looked at her eyes filled with tears and knew that he had scared her this time.
"I'm fine, I'm not feeling uncomfortable anywhere." Zhao Yi raised the corner of his lips slightly: "It's uncomfortable when you have a fever, but now that it's gone, I feel better."
Shen Qingtan didn't believe what he said. It was related to his health, and two and a half of the three sentences he said couldn't be believed.
"You lied to me. You said I was taking medicine just because I was weak." Shen Qingtan accused him word by word. "You also said that my parents and I have been separated for more than ten years. They miss me and are looking forward to seeing me. They want me to go back and spend a few days with them. In fact, you just want to get me away so that you can take the medicine alone."
Zhao Yi held her hand and opened his mouth to say something, but she continued, "I know you don't want me to see your painful side, and I feel bad for you. The more you hide this from me, the sadder I feel. I'm helpless in dealing with your situation."
Shen Qingtan pressed the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief: "We are husband and wife, we should support each other. If I have difficulties, you share my worries. If you have difficulties, I will also share your burdens. Even if I can't help you, I will feel at ease just by staying by your side."
Zhao Yi realized that he had hurt her heart and coughed a few times: "There won't be a next time."
Shen Qingtan didn't say anything.
Zhao Yi said, "I'm hoping you'll be by my side."
A warmth surged in Shen Qingtan's heart, and this warmth went straight to his eyes.
She turned her head away and said, "I'll ask the court doctor to come in and check your pulse, and then let mother know that you're safe."
As she spoke, she stood up and walked to the door, calling the court doctor in.
The court physician went into the room first to check Zhao Yi's pulse.
Shen Qingtan stood at the door and looked at the eldest lady and the eldest master: "Father and mother, the second master is awake."
The eldest lady looked at Shen Qingtan's red eyes and couldn't help but think of the scene she saw through the crack of the door. She was deeply touched and reached out to hug Shen Qingtan.
"Tan'er, thank you for your trouble."
"Mother, the Second Master is my husband. It's my duty to take care of him." Shen Qingtan took a deep breath and suppressed the emotions surging in her heart: "Compared to what he has done for me, I have done too little for him."
The eldest lady let go of Shen Qingtan: "You two are thinking about each other, and this thought is enough."
Shen Qingtan nodded.
Several people entered the dormitory and came to the bed.
The palace doctor took back the pulse pillow and said, "Second Master is fine. Take good care of him during this period of time and don't let him get sick."
Shen Qingtan thanked the court physician and told Tingxue to get some medicine to boil for Zhao Yi to drink.
Zhao Yi supported himself on the bed and tried to sit up.
The eldest lady pressed his shoulder and said, "Your bones hurt. Lie down and take care of them. Don't make any noise." As she spoke, she glanced at Shen Qingtan at the door and said, "If you want Tan'er to feel sorry for you, then make all the noise."
Zhao Yi lay there obediently without moving.
The eldest lady watched as the blush on his face faded and he turned pale again. She said with concern, "Take good care of yourself here for the next few days. Tan'er will be here with you."
Zhao Yi hummed weakly.
The eldest lady gave a few more instructions and left with the eldest master without disturbing the young couple again.
Shen Qingtan watched the two elders leave and turned back to his room.
"Are you hungry?" Shen Qingtan covered him with the quilt and sat on the edge of the bed. "I'll ask Liu Yue to make some porridge. Can you eat some later?"
Zhao Yi nodded slightly and raised his hand to touch her eyes. He hated to see her cry the most, but he made her cry.
Shen Qingtan held his hand, looked at his face quietly for a long time, then smiled gently with her lips pursed.
Zhao Yi asked, "Did you think of something interesting?"
"Just thinking about being by your side makes me feel wonderful." Shen Qingtan said softly, "I hope that every morning when I open my eyes, I can see you by my side."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Yi laughed along with her.
This is also his wish.
Liu Yue brought in a bowl of porridge.
Shen Qingtan took the bowl and fed Zhao Yi spoonful by spoonful himself.
Zhao Yi was still feeling unwell, and fearing that Shen Qingtan would worry, he forced himself to eat half a bowl of porridge, and then he could not eat any more.
Shen Qingtan brought the cup of water to his lips, fed him a few sips of water, wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, and helped him lie down.
Zhao Yi said, "Manman, go have dinner. Jiang Chao and Jiang Mu are guarding here."
Shen Qingtan nodded slightly, left Tingxue to serve on the side, and took Liuyue to the dining hall.
As soon as I stepped out of the door, I met Boss Qin who was coming in a hurry.
"Tan'er, things have changed." Boss Qin handed the letter to Shen Qingtan: "Zhongyuan is in Baohua County and is unwilling to come to Beijing. He threatened that if you want him to treat your illness, you must go to him in person."
Shen Qingtan's face changed. It would take two days to travel from the capital to Baohua County. Zhao Yi was weak, how could he withstand the bumpy ride?
She quickly opened the letter in her hand, read it quickly, and made a decision in her heart.
"Uncle Qin, I will go to Baohua County to invite him personally."
