"Doctor Lu?" Kong Wenmin frowned suddenly, stopped what he was doing, and looked at Kong Wenjie and said, "Do you know what disease the deposed prince has?"
"I'm not sure about this, but judging from the attitude of the subordinates, they insist on asking Doctor Lu to come up the mountain. The deposed prince is probably seriously ill," Kong Wenjie said in a deep voice. He sighed again. "It's not surprising for the deposed prince to be ill in his condition, and it's winter now. If he's not careful, he'll get a serious illness, right?"
"No, we have to report this to the higher-ups right away," Kong Wenmin said. His face didn't look good. "If anything happens to the deposed crown prince, Ningguta will be in turmoil again. We have to report this to the commander first."
"Yes. I think so too." Kong Wenjie nodded. "How about I leave today and go back to the capital?"
"No. You're too conspicuous. You can't go anywhere. Just stay in Ningguta," Kong Wenmin denied it and paused. His eyes suddenly lit up, "Doesn't the prefect send a report to the capital every month?"
"Yeah! Why didn't I think of it?" Kong Wenjie suddenly slapped his thigh, "I'll do it right away!"

January 12, 33rd year of Jiasheng
Jixian Book House.
Achou got up very early. Actually, she was almost recovered, but Chen Qingxuan felt that she was too weak and had a severe cold. In addition, based on Zhong Mingwei's instructions, he took the opportunity to nourish her body. But Achou was anxious. She hadn't been home for seven or eight days and was really worried about Zhong Mingwei. However, Chen Qingxuan kept saying that she had not recovered from the typhoid fever and would definitely infect Zhong Mingwei if she went back. So Achou could only bear it. However, Achou always got up very early these two days.
During these two days, Pang Yi was not at home, and Chen Qingxuan would always go up the mountain to accompany Zhong Mingwei during the day. Achou would rush to get up early to cook for Chen Qingxuan and Grandma Chen. She had lived in someone else's house for so many days, so she naturally felt bad, so she would rush to do anything within her ability.
"Why did you cook so many dishes?" As soon as Chen Qingxuan entered the outer hall, he saw the table was filled with four dishes and a soup, as well as a basket of steamed buns with big stuffing. Chen Qingxuan looked at the table and his appetite was aroused. He sat down at the table and kept praising Ah Chou, "Girl, your cooking skills are better than those of the chefs in the city."
"How could that be? Mr. Chen, you are just teasing me," Ah Chou said a little unkindly, sitting next to Chen Qingxuan. Perhaps she was worried that she would infect Chen Qingxuan, so she moved outside again, then served herself a bowl of soup and asked Chen Qingxuan, "By the way, Mr. Chen, can Grandma Chen come back for the Lantern Festival?"
Grandma Chen went back to the village yesterday. She said that a relative was having a wedding and she went back to help.
"About the same. She usually doesn't stay at home for long," Chen Qingxuan said to Ah Chou with a smile while drinking hot spicy soup, "But this time when I came back, she has something to nag about again. This time it's because her distant cousin has a new baby. I'm afraid she's going to get jealous."
"Right, Grandma Chen is looking forward to you getting married and having children now," Ah Chou had been listening to Grandma Chen nagging about this all day long. Naturally, he knew how eager Grandma Chen was for her great-grandson, so he said to Chen Qingxuan, "It's no wonder that Grandma Chen is anxious. Your cousin has become a father, but you, the cousin, haven't even found a wife yet. How can Grandma Chen not be anxious?"
"There's nothing I can do. I can't just find any woman and get married. After all, we have to spend the rest of our lives together. I don't want to put myself in a difficult position, and naturally I don't want to delay others." Chen Qingxuan sighed. In the past, he treated Achou as a little sister who had not grown up, so he would not say these things to her. But now that he knew that Achou was married, he was willing to talk about these adult troubles in front of Achou.
Ah Chou nodded: "You are right, everything else can be compromised, but this matter cannot be compromised."
Hearing this, Chen Qingxuan raised his head slightly and glanced in Achou's direction. Achou was drinking soup with his head down. With his face tilted to the side, the dark red scar on his neck could not be seen. Achou's profile was actually very beautiful. It should be because of the nourishment of donkey-hide gelatin and bird's nest in the past few days. Achou's complexion was much better than before. In the hot air, her lips looked redder and her teeth were whiter, making her look more delicate and bright. Chen Qingxuan couldn't help but look at her in a daze. He never thought Achou was ugly, but he had never looked at Achou with a man's eyes.
