Jiang Jiuniang nodded and said, "At first I wasn't sure either. I treated Xiangxiang with the usual cold treatment, but it didn't work. Later I tried having someone prepare water, and sure enough, she woke up in no time."
"I think this is probably because Xiangxiang has a special ability, so she has the habits of marine life and needs to be in contact with water often. Generally speaking, this is not a bad thing, as long as we are careful, there will be no problem."
Anyway, from now on, I can just give Xiangxiang a cold bath every night. It's convenient and saves time. At most, to make it more fun for the child, I can get her a bigger bath tub.
If all else fails, we could just give her a swimming pool; after all, the house is so big.
Hearing that everything was alright, Lu Baichuan was relieved. He hugged his wife and said, "Thank you for your hard work."
"It's alright, I was just startled. Actually, you didn't need to come back. Your parents were just too worried."
Lu Baichuan said, "You can't bear to see me running back and forth like this, and I can't bear to see you facing this situation alone either. It's getting late, you should wash up and go to bed first. I'll go check on Xiangxiang."
Lu Baichuan kissed her forehead, his voice full of tenderness.
Jiang Jiuniang thought that made sense. That's how husbands and wives should think of each other. Now that they're back, there's no need to dwell on it so much.
Jiang Jiuniang was indeed tired. After washing up, she went to sleep, but Lu Baichuan stayed with Xiangxiang alone until dawn.
The main problem is that his wife doesn't know when Xiangxiang's condition will relapse. He usually spends little time with the child, so he tries to spend as much time with her as possible now.
Xiangxiang slept soundly through the night until dawn. Old Man Lu and Mrs. Sun came to see the child early in the morning. Xiangxiang had recovered and was hugging Mrs. Sun's neck affectionately.
"Oh my, my little darling, you scared Grandma to death last night."
Looking at her little granddaughter's soft and sweet appearance, Mrs. Sun's heart almost melted, but she was still frightened when she thought of how the little girl had been so silent last night.
"Grandma, don't cry, Xiangxiang is all right!"
The little one knew that Mrs. Sun was worried about him, so he pouted and purred at her. His adorable appearance made Mrs. Sun love him to bits.
Jiang Jiuniang comforted her, "It's alright, it's alright. You've just been wearing too many layers lately. Just take off one more cotton-padded jacket."
Sun: "Can you get sick from wearing too many clothes?"
"Yes, a cold is caused by catching a chill, while a fever is caused by being overdressed. Xiangxiang's condition last night was a case of a fever."
Jiang Jiuniang made up an excuse; she couldn't very well tell people that the child wanted to take a cold bath, otherwise the old lady would definitely not be able to stand it.
Mrs. Sun was still shocked. She had lived to this age and never knew that wearing too many clothes could make her sick. But her daughter-in-law was a doctor and must know more. She immediately said that she understood and would no longer force herself and her child to wear more clothes. Keeping warm was enough, as overdressing would have the opposite effect.
Turning her head, she saw Lu Baichuan still standing beside her and immediately asked with some disdain, "Why haven't you gone to the military camp yet?"
Lu Baichuan was already used to his mother's dislike for him, so his mood didn't change much. He said directly, "I need to go to the palace at noon, and then go to the military camp tomorrow."
Madam Sun then said, "That's good, that's good. There's a poetry competition at the Imperial Academy for Gou'er. If you have time, go with him to watch. Don't make your wife go to everything."
The Imperial College invited the children's parents to visit and see what their children had learned and how they had performed during this period. If Lu Baichuan were not there, Jiang Jiuniang would definitely go in person. Now that Lu Baichuan is back, Jiang Jiuniang can just rest at home.
It's okay if the son is a little tired, but the daughter-in-law should cherish him.
"Okay, I'll be there."
Even if Sun doesn't say anything, Lu Baichuan will let it go. He rarely participates in Gou'er's academy life, so this opportunity is rare and should be cherished.
After exchanging a few words, Sun and Old Man Lu took Xiangxiang away. Jiang Jiuniang said, "You haven't slept all night, go and get some sleep."
"good."
Lu Baichuan yawned, nodded, and went back to his room to sleep.
Jiang Jiuniang was not idle. On the surface, she went to the study, but in reality, she went to the space laboratory to study the chip in Xiangxiang's body again. She was originally the one who worked on this project and knew a lot of the data. She just didn't know if those people had tampered with it or if they had any follow-up tricks. Otherwise, Xiangxiang would still be in great danger.
I spent the whole day researching, but I didn't find anything useful.
However, Jiang Jiuniang was not discouraged. After all, research is not something that can be done overnight. She had spent many years researching this chip before. Anyway, she would just take her time to research it.
When she came out, Lu Baichuan had already gone to the palace. Jiang Jiuniang went to find Madam Sun to have dinner together.
Lu Baichuan went to the palace at noon to see the emperor and told him about Prince Jing's trip to Xiteng. In the afternoon, he went to the Imperial Academy to attend Gou'er's poetry competition. His time was fully scheduled.
Regarding Prince Jing and Mei Lanyi's trip to Xiteng, the emperor once again posed the question to him, asking him to make a decision.
Lu Baichuan was speechless. What decision could he make? Let them go if they want to, as long as Prince Jing guarantees that the mission will be completed on time.
He really did say that. The emperor was initially a little worried, but he couldn't bring himself to break up the couple. After all, Mei Lanyi was the girl that Prince Jing had pursued for so long before finally agreeing to be with him. If he objected, the sixth prince would definitely come looking for trouble.
It's better to avoid trouble, so the decision has been made.
However, they had to get married before they set off. Time was tight, so the emperor immediately wrote an imperial edict to grant them the marriage. Prince Jing was even quicker and went directly to find someone to calculate the date. As a result, it was only three days later than Lu Xiaoyang's date. He was very satisfied and immediately set the date.
After that, they began preparing for the wedding. Even though time was tight, they insisted on holding a grand ceremony so that Mei Lanyi would not have any regrets.
That evening, after Lu Baichuan returned from the Imperial College with Gou'er and the others, he told the Lu family about the incident.
Sun was very happy. Prince Jing had recognized her as his godmother, and now that her godson was getting married, she felt she should show her appreciation. So she thought that when she was preparing things for Lu Xiaoyang and Leizi, she should also prepare something for Prince Jing.
The Lu family also felt that Prince Jing had a hard time. Lu Xiaoyang said, "Anyway, the time is not far away. We can hold our wedding first, then attend Prince Jing's wedding, and then go back to Jingzhou to hold our second wedding."
The idea was approved by everyone, and that's how it was decided.
That evening, just when Jiang Jiuniang thought she could finally get a good night's sleep, someone came to report to Lu Baichuan that something had happened in the Kangcheng area.
Recently, there have been frequent cases of missing persons in the Kangcheng area, with more than 30 people currently missing and their fate unknown.
Jiang Jiuniang's sleepiness vanished instantly. She exchanged a glance with Lu Baichuan, and both saw the answer in each other's eyes.
They all suspected one person—Xun Yi!
