So, without even changing his clothes and completely disregarding his image as a prince, he walked straight towards Long Xiaomin's yard.
At this time, Long Xiaomin was telling her maid Xiaoqian what had just happened. When they saw Leng Xi appear in front of them, all wet, they opened their mouths in surprise.
Leng Xi was holding the handkerchief that Long Xiaomin had, and he was walking towards her step by step. Long Xiaomin opened her eyes wide and kept shaking her head, waving her hands and explaining loudly,
"I...I didn't mean to do that. I...I really thought Xiaoqian fell into the lake..."
Leng Xi came to Long Xiaomin and wanted to teach her a lesson, but he thought better of it. If this matter was known to others, he would not look good. So, he raised the handkerchief in front of her eyes, took her hand, and placed it heavily in her hand, gritted his teeth and muttered:
"Long Xiaomin, you are so boring."
Leaving these words behind, he turned around and left quickly.
Looking at his somewhat embarrassed back, Long Xiaomin grinned and threw the handkerchief into Xiaoqian's arms, pouting and muttering:
"Am I... a little too much?"
Xiao Qian kept nodding, "Yeah, yeah, it's a bit excessive. He's a prince, and when he heard that a girl fell into the water, he personally jumped in to save her. It shows that he's not that bad."
Long Xiaomin turned around and glared at Xiaoqian, then shouted angrily:
"You silly girl, are you so mean? Wash this handkerchief for me."
After hearing the voice, Xiaoqian slowly retreated. Long Xiaomin thought about what had just happened and felt a little regretful.
He is a prince after all. It would be strange if he wasn't angry when she teased him like this. But even if he was angry, he didn't say anything excessive just now. He just said that he was bored. If he scolded himself a few times, would it make him feel better?
Thinking of this, she turned around in frustration, not knowing what to do.
In such early spring weather, Lengxi fell into the icy lake water, which directly caused him to catch a cold.
The next morning, he was bedridden. When Xiao Lingzi came to tell Luo Lan, Luo Lan hurriedly asked A Cai and A Hong to take care of Leng Yu, and she went directly to Leng Xi's room.
When she saw Leng Xi lying on the bed with a rosy face, she immediately realized that this guy had a fever.
She hurriedly said to the girl beside her:
"Prepare some ice water, wet a towel, and apply it to his forehead to reduce his fever."
Then, she took out some antipyretic medicine from the operating room and told the twins to feed it to him.
After doing all this, she said to the servants around her:
"What's going on?"
The servant hurriedly shook his head. "I don't know. The Fifth Prince said he was going to the garden for a walk and didn't let us follow him. Who knew he would come back soaking wet? We think he fell into the lake."
"How could a healthy person fall into the lake?"
"We don't know either. The prince didn't tell us what happened after he came back. After we changed his clothes, he curled up in bed, covered with a large quilt, and seemed very cold. Then he woke up this morning and became like this."
Luo Lan took the cold towel from the maid and put it on his head, then said to the servants:
"Everyone, disperse. After I leave, remove the quilt from him and cover him with a thin blanket."
Before she finished speaking, Leng Xi opened his eyes drowsily.
"Sister-in-law, why are you here?"
Luo Lan looked at his frail appearance and smiled helplessly, "You have a fever, I came to see you. How could you, a grown man, fall into the water?"
When mentioning the incident of falling into the water, Leng Xi blinked his eyes first, then shook his head.
"I don't know either. I wanted to see the fish in the lake, but then I slipped and fell into the lake."
He didn't say that it was Long Xiaomin who caused him to fall into the water. He didn't do it to protect her. He just felt that it was a bit embarrassing for a grown man like him to be fooled by a woman.
Luo Lan did not ask any more questions, but comforted him softly:
"I just gave you some medicine. Take a nap. I'll come back at noon to check on you and take the medicine again. It's not a big deal."
Leng Xi grinned and nodded bitterly.
"Thank you, sister-in-law."
Luo Lan couldn't help but blame:
"If your fourth brother knew you were like this, he would definitely send you back to the capital."
After leaving these words, Luo Lan gave a few more instructions to the servants and left.
On the way, she met Long Xiaomin who had just stepped into the west wing. Long Xiaomin looked at her with a red face and whispered:
"Princess, I heard...the Fifth Prince is ill?"
"Yeah, I fell into the water and caught a cold."
"How did you fall into the water?"
Long Xiaomin looked up at her in surprise. That Leng Xi guy must have complained to the princess. The princess must be going to tell her father about this.
Unexpectedly, Luo Lan just chuckled and nodded.
"A grown man went to the lake to watch the fish and accidentally fell into the water. It's not serious. He will be fine after lying down for two days."
Hearing Luo Lan say this, Long Xiaomin was a little surprised. Could it be that the fifth prince didn't tell the truth?
While she was thinking about this, Luo Lan had already left. Xiao Qian beside her whispered:
"Miss, it seems that the Fifth Prince is quite righteous and did not tell anyone about this matter."
Long Xiaomin turned around and glared at her, saying unhappily:
"Only you, him, and I know about this. If a fourth person finds out, I'll tear your mouth apart because you told them."
After saying this viciously, she walked straight towards Leng Xi's room.
Yes, she decided to go see him. After all, it was she who caused him to get sick. Even if it was just to prevent him from complaining to his father, she should still go see him.
