Chapter 0018 Lucky
Ashu's voice was very loud, but Xiao Rong was already half asleep. Ashu shook him twice, but found that he couldn't wake up, so he ran out quickly to get help.
The first choice was naturally Gao Xunzhi who lived next door to them. Gao Xunzhi was old, went to bed early and had a light sleep. He woke up as soon as Ashu came out, asked the guard to light a lantern. After he came out, he heard Ashu say that Xiao Rong had a high fever. His indifferent look could not be controlled in an instant. He pushed away the guard who was blocking his way and hurried to see how Xiao Rong was.
The next step is to light the lamp, find a doctor, take the pulse, and prepare medicine.
No matter how soundly Xiao Rong was sleeping, he woke up at this moment.
There was no thermometer at this time, so it was impossible to measure how severe Xiao Rong's fever was, but looking at his red cheeks, one could tell that it was definitely not mild.
When Gao Xunzhi was asking the doctor about the cause of the illness, Xiao Rong opened his eyes with difficulty and complained: "What are you arguing about... Ah Shu, why are you standing guard here in the middle of the night instead of sleeping?"
Ah Shu said to him worriedly, "Master, you have a high fever."
Xiao Rong didn't react at first, but when he reached out and touched his face, he felt the unusual heat and his eyes widened instantly.
Then he sat up suddenly, and before he could sit still, he grabbed Ah Shu's sleeve and said, "Where's the king?!"
Gao Xunzhi turned his head and looked at him in surprise.
Xiao Rong was still nervously asking Ah Shu: "Where is the king? What is he doing?!"
Ah Shu looked at Gao Xunzhi for help, and Gao Xunzhi came over. He pried open Xiao Rong's hands, which had turned pale from exertion, and sat beside him. He said with emotion, "The king is naturally resting in his bedroom. Ah Rong, you are still thinking about the king even in this state."
Xiao Rong: “…”
He looked at Gao Xunzhi blankly. How could he not miss him?
Any problems with his body are all Qu Yunmie's fault!
Xiao Rong didn't want to explain, he just kept asking, trying to see what Qu Yunmie had done again. But Qu Yunmie's actions today were very ordinary, not as busy as the past two days. In the evening, he drank several jars of wine with Yuan Baifu and went to bed early. He didn't go out at all.
Xiao Rong was a little stunned. In the past, whenever he felt unwell, he would blame Qu Yunmie. He never thought that there was another person who could harm him like this.
Honestly, it would be better if Qu Yunmie was courting death. After all, if that were the case, he would at least know what to do. But now...
He had a fever, his body was cold, and his head ached. He was a very smart man, but now he seemed to be having trouble understanding the situation. Xiao Rong was anxious, but he knew nothing could be done, and his complexion was not as good as usual.
However, as Gao Xunzhi looked at him, his expression became more and more moved.
Seeing that Arong looks worried, he is definitely not worried about himself, but about the king.
He was worried that since he was ill, without his advice, the king would act on his own and do something wrong.
Oh my God, there are such sincere people in the world!
Gao Xunzhi decided on the spot that he would not go back. He wanted to stay and take care of Xiao Rong. He would ask the guards to tell the king early the next morning and ask him to come and visit Xiao Rong as soon as possible.
Gao Xunzhi snatched Ashu's job, personally wet a towel with water, and then wiped Xiao Rong's face and hands. If it were someone else, they would have retreated in fear. However, Xiao Rong was thinking about other things and did not react at all. What's more, this is how others took care of him when he was sick these days.
The guards watched the scene numbly.
Since Mr. Xiao came, he has repeatedly broken their impression of these superiors. The king is willing to listen to his advice, General Jian arranges food, clothing, housing and transportation for him, and now even Prime Minister Gao personally feeds him medicine. They believe it.
Xiao Rong is definitely a person with great supernatural powers.
He must have put a curse on these people! …
Gao Xunzhi handed the spoon to Xiao Rong's mouth. Xiao Rong took a sip reflexively and finally came to his senses. He apologized first, then quickly took the bowl of medicine and drank it all in one gulp.
Yes, he didn't need to take medicine for his illness, but if he didn't take the medicine, everyone around him would look at him with tears in their eyes, as if he was torturing himself. Xiao Rong explained it many times, and finally found that it was simpler to just drink it.
Xiao Rong recalled carefully, but he really couldn't imagine what would happen at this time that would be detrimental to Qu Yunmie.
He told Qu Yunmie that the Buddhist disciple would be back as early as this month and at the latest next month, but this was just a trick. In fact, he knew that the Buddhist disciple would be back next month.
Because he encountered the summer retreat in Qiuci, he could not move for three whole months. When he was able to move again, he wanted to enter the Central Plains. As a result, he encountered the summer retreat of the new year in Anding City.
At this time, the monks were much stricter than later. They could not go out in the summer because there were many small insects on the ground and they were afraid of stepping on them and committing a sin of killing.
The Buddhist was forced to stay in Anding City. Looking at the scorched earth in the city, he thought of the former Chang'an. He prayed for the souls of the dead in Anding City every day. As soon as the summer retreat was over, he immediately set off for Nanyong.
In history, the tragedy of Anding City was closely related to Qu Yunmie. Although he was also a victim, under the manipulation of some people, the incident turned into a situation where he was unable to control his subordinates and was bent on revenge, which led to the revenge of the Xianbei people.
No one knew whether the Buddhist disciple believed these statements or not, but he did abandon Qu Yunmie outright and never considered staying under the rule of King Zhenbei to provide him with additional support.
Xiao Rong didn't understand. Even if he remembered the date wrong, the Buddhist would not be disappointed with the Zhenbei Army. Anding City is fine now, and the residents of the city have a good impression of Qu Yunmie who came to rescue them.
