Chapter 172 Can't Withstand This Kind of Torture



study.

When Gu Linchao was halfway through handling government affairs, he suddenly felt a little dizzy. He shook his head and rubbed his temples, but it didn't help.

He soaked in cold water several times last night and didn't sleep at all, so he's not feeling well today.

But he was always in good health and rarely got sick, so he didn't take it to heart.

As usual, I went to the morning court session. After the session, I also went to the military camp.

"Master, if you're not feeling well, you should rest," Wang Houde quickly advised, noticing the unusual look on his face.

Gu Linchao shook his head. "I'm fine."

He rested his forehead on one hand, while holding a pen in the other, making annotations on the case file.

Seeing this, Wang Houde became extremely anxious.

The master was clearly not feeling well, but he was still forcing himself to be strong. Even a person made of iron couldn't withstand such torment.

Just as he was wondering what to do, Wen Nongnong walked in.

"Your Highness, I noticed you don't look well, so I specially asked the kitchen to prepare some lotus seed porridge for you..."

When Wang Houde saw her come in, he looked at her as if she were his savior and immediately said, "Your Majesty, you've come at the right time. The master is not feeling well and refuses to rest. Please help persuade him."

Upon hearing this, Wen Nongnong glanced at Gu Linchao and indeed saw that his complexion looked even worse than when she had seen him outside the mansion gate.

Her heart tightened, and she quickly handed the food box to Wang Houde. She stepped forward, pressed down on Gu Linchao's hand as he reviewed the documents, and gently advised, "Your Highness, if you're not feeling well, don't push yourself. You need to rest so you can do more."

Gu Linchao glanced at her, then pushed her hand away, "I'm fine..."

"You said you were fine, but your face is completely pale." Wen Nongnong said, quickly reaching out to touch his forehead. It was burning hot to the touch, which startled her. She hurriedly instructed Wang Houde, "Your Highness has a fever. Quickly go and fetch the imperial physician."

Upon hearing this, Wang Houde was startled and quickly put down the food box, then ran out.

“I already said it’s nothing…” Gu Linchao frowned, somewhat displeased with Wen Nongnong’s overreaction.

Ignoring his protests, Wen Nongnong suddenly reached around his back, placed her hand under his armpits, and tried to help him sit up. "No, you have a fever, you need to rest in bed immediately..."

Gu Linchao was startled when she suddenly reached out, his expression changing slightly. "You...you let go..."

"I won't let you go unless you go to rest." Wen Nongnong's tone was firm, and then she shouted loudly outside, "Si Yi, come in quickly and help your master to rest."

Si Yi immediately walked in.

Gu Linchao's expression was rather unpleasant. He supported his forehead and said uncomfortably, "Wen Nongnong, do you not understand what I'm saying? Let go of me now!" As he spoke, he tried to push her hand away.

Wen Nongnong is not afraid of him at all now. He is currently ill, and even with a stern face, his intimidating presence is greatly diminished.

He pushed her hand away, but she immediately helped him up again. Then, ignoring his objections, she beckoned directly to Si Yi, "Your master is sick. Come and help me help him go back to rest."

Si Yi was initially somewhat displeased with her for tormenting her master like this, but seeing that Gu Linchao's face was indeed very pale, she had no choice but to step forward.

"master."

Gu Linchao stared intently at Wen Nongnong.

Wen Nongnong didn't back down at all, "Are you going to walk by yourself, or do you want us to help you?"

Seeing the unwavering determination in the girl's eyes, Gu Linchao's dark eyes narrowed slightly, his long eyelashes trembled, and he finally gave in, dropping the pen in his hand and trying to stand up.
