Chapter 223 Gentle Coaxing
Yun Qingshi didn't know if it was because of the fever, but he suddenly felt very cold. Even with the quilt covering him, he was still very cold. He just sat up anxiously and tried to get close to Xiao Jiwu, hoping to get some warmth from him: "Awu..."
How could Xiao Jiwu bear to refuse Yun Qing when he saw her like this? He immediately stood up from the couch and quickly hugged the young man into his arms: "Okay, Qingqing, just say whatever you want to say. I'll listen and stay with you."
In this matter, the only thing he could do was to stay with the boy.
However, this was also the first time he faced Yun Qing like this, so he was even a little at a loss. He didn't know what to do to make the boy feel better, to make him less sad...
After being held in his arms, Yun Qingshi could no longer hold back his tears as he hugged Xiao Jiwu. His shoulders kept shaking: "Awu... I miss my mom, my dad, too, ahem, and my eldest brother, second brother..."
"But I will never see them again, I feel sorry for them..."
"From childhood to adulthood, even when I got into trouble, my mother never said a harsh word to me. My father looked stern, ahem, but he wasn't fierce at all when it came to me. When I was little, my second brother always used this to accuse my father of being partial, but he also loved me the most, ahem, he fought with others for me and even got his head broken. And my eldest brother, he gave in to whatever I wanted, but... but now..."
"...I had a dream before. I dreamed that they were so sad... Ahem, Awu, it's all my fault. It's all my fault. I've let them down."
Having said that, Yun Qingshi buried his face in Xiao Jiwu's shoulder and choked with sobs, his hands tightly clutching the man's clothes.
As for Xiao Jiwu, he felt as if his heart was about to break. He hugged the young man even tighter and said anxiously: "It's not Qingqing's fault. It's not Qingqing's fault. It's all the fault of that criminal. No one will blame you."
Yun Qingshi raised his head eagerly upon hearing the sound, his eyes red as he grabbed Xiao Jiwu's sleeve and asked nervously, "Really? Will they really not blame me?"
Xiao Jiwu stretched out his fingertips to wipe away the boy's tears and answered firmly: "No, they would never blame you. They just couldn't bear to do that."
Just like he couldn't bear to blame Yun Qingshi.
After hearing what Xiao Jiwu said, Yun Qingshi nodded obediently, but her voice was choked with sobs: "Yes, cough, cough, mom will definitely not be able to bear it, will not be able to bear it, cough, cough, cough..."
Xiao Jiwu continued to coax her gently, "Qingqing, I've heard that family members are connected. Maybe they can sense you, so you have to be happy. Only when they sense you can they feel at ease. Didn't you offer eternal lights for your parents and brothers at Gratitude Temple? Gratitude Temple is the most effective and will surely protect them and keep them safe."
When Yun Qingshi heard this, he immediately asked anxiously again: "Really?"
Xiao Jiwu nodded and replied, "Really."
Yun Qingshi nodded with red eyes after hearing this, trying to calm himself down, and said slowly: "Okay, ahem, Awu is right..."
He is willing to believe it.
Upon hearing the voice, Xiao Jiwu leaned over and kissed the boy with heartache, then found a handkerchief and gently wiped away Yun Qingshi's tears.
The bedroom gradually became quiet.
Yun Qingshi leaned against Xiao Jiwu obediently and stopped talking, while Xiao Jiwu just hugged the boy tightly, fearing that Yun Qingshi would feel uneasy if he let go.
It is easy to feel sleepy when you are sick, and coupled with the extreme fluctuations in emotions, after crying, Yun Qingshi soon yawned out of tiredness.
Fortunately, Changshun brought the boiled medicine after a while. After watching the young man drink the medicine, Xiao Jiwu took care of Yun Qingshi and lay down together.
Yun Qingshi's fever was gradually subsiding, and he fell into a deep sleep not long after lying down.
However, Xiao Jiwu was still reluctant to let the person go.
He was afraid that Yun Qingshi would have a nightmare and that he would have a fever again.
But fortunately, the boy slept relatively soundly that night.
————
Perhaps his body has recovered, Yun Qingshi recovered from the cold quite quickly this time.
The fever subsided that day, but the cough lasted for two days.
He was almost fully recovered on the third day, but Xiao Jiwu still didn't let him stop taking the medicine.
Of course, he originally wanted to stop eating once the coughing stopped, but Xiao Jiwu kept pestering him, so he had no choice...
Three days later, it will be New Year's Eve four days later, and the Chinese New Year will be five days later.
However, there was still no news about Xie Fenchuan.
However, in the past few days approaching the end of the year, it seems that everyone has become very busy except him who is still idle.
Xiao Jiwu often goes out.
Even Zhao Mingde was not in Yian Hall all the time. After all, he was the steward of the palace and he had to be busy with various arrangements for the New Year.
As for the incident that day when she had a fever and cried in Xiao Jiwu's arms, Yun Qingshi never mentioned it afterwards.
It's really shameful for a grown man to cry! How could he dare to mention it again?
He just hoped that Xiao Jiwu would never mention this matter again.
Back to this time, it was already afternoon, and Yun Qingshi had just woken up from his nap to drink some tea to wake himself up.
He was the only one there, because Xiao Jiwu was called away after lunch.
Just then, Zhao Mingde knocked on the palace door.
"Is your Excellency awake?"
Yun Qingshi heard the voice and stood up and walked over to open the door: "Eunuch Zhao, is there something you want to talk to me about?"
Zhao Mingde smiled and nodded, "It's about the arrangement of the New Year's rewards for the servants, as well as the list of New Year's purchases. I need your review, sir."
Yun Qingshi nodded after hearing this and said, "Okay, then please come in and talk, it's cold outside."
Ever since Xiao Jiwu gave him the key to the warehouse, Zhao Mingde would show him some lists from time to time, or ask him about any arrangements.
I'm free anyway, so it's good to have something to do.
Moreover, Zhao Mingde has always been an excellent worker and rarely makes mistakes. He just takes a look as a formality.
Zhao Mingde quickly followed him into the Yian Hall and respectfully presented the list to Yun Qingshi.
Yun Qingshi said politely, "Eunuch Zhao, please sit down. I'll take a look right away."
Basically, Yun Qingshi would say this every time, but Zhao Mingde, like every time before, still refused with a smile:
"The slave is not tired, just stand."
Yun Qingshi didn't force it and quickly picked up the red purchase order and took a quick look at it.
Then there is the reward arrangement list for everyone.
Personnel at all levels receive rewards of different sizes.
As for the reward of silver, Yun Qingshi was not going to express his opinion. Zhao Mingde would decide it this way, and it must be arranged like this every year.
