Gu Qingyuan lost all sleep and immediately put on her clothes and stood up.
He Zheng stood in front of the door, his mouth was dry and his face was pale with anxiety.
"On the way back home, the young master suddenly passed out. He couldn't wake up."
Gu Qingyuan's breath suffocated and her feet swayed.
She followed He Zheng to the side room.
Pei Jinting was lying on the bed, his face was gray, his eyes were closed tightly, his lips were black, and he was unconscious.
"Pei Jinting...Jingheng..."
She called Pei Jinting anxiously, but he had no response.
Gu Qingyuan had never seen Pei Jinting look like this before, and there was a sense of desolate beauty in his embarrassment.
She felt a little heartbroken for no reason.
"Have you gone to ask the imperial doctor? Have you notified the Duke and his wife?"
Her hands trembled, she turned her head, and her voice trembled.
He Zheng looked at the attendant who slapped him guiltily outside and said,
"Madam and the Duke have sent people to deliver the message."
"Brothers said that the young master did not ride a horse when he returned to the city, but took a carriage. Before getting in the carriage, he said he was a little tired and wanted to take a rest. Who knew..."
Gu Qingyuan sat beside the bed, holding Pei Jinting's hand. His fingers were stiff and cold.
The body under the clothes was also cold, and everything was cold to the touch.
Her heart was almost as cold as his, "Has he ever been like this before?"
She held his hand and rubbed it, just wanting to transfer her warmth to him.
He Zheng lowered his head, sighed, and whispered,
"Although the young master usually feels uncomfortable, he is not in such a state today that he cannot wake up even if he screams."
Gu Qingyuan frowned.
It happens as usual, but the symptoms are milder?
So this is a chronic disease?
Gu Qingyuan pulled two more quilts from the box and covered him, and kept rubbing his hands.
"When you encounter situations like this, what kind of pills do you young master take? Do you have any left?"
He Zheng's hand holding the sword hilt tightened, "No."
Gu Qingyuan frowned.
If there are no pills, then it should not be a chronic disease.
She looked outside from time to time, and felt that time seemed to have stopped, and no doctor came to her door.
I don't know if covering him with quilts helped or rubbing him, but after a long while, Pei Jinting finally had some reaction.
Indistinct murmurs came from his mouth.
It was like a Sanskrit sound that broke through the deserted room.
"Pei Jinting..."
She leaned close to his ear and called softly. She also heard his hoarse voice and murmured,
"Yuanyuan... don't be afraid..."
If Pei Jinting said such words when he was sober, Gu Qingyuan would only sneer at him.
It is true that Pei Jinting was too bad in the past.
Throwing caterpillars on her head or stepping on her heels are no big deal.
Now I found out that he was still worried about her in his sleep.
Suddenly, Gu Qingyuan was stunned.
My heart felt like it was being pricked by thousands of silver needles, causing dense pain.
One hand was clutching the quilt beside him.
She raised her head and blinked, Pei Jinting, she is okay, she will always be fine.
Gu Qingyuan lowered her head, approached Pei Jinting, and pressed her face against his, "Pei Jinting, I'm fine, I'm fine."
"What did he do after he sent me back last night? Do you know?" she asked He Zheng.
He Zheng's eyes flashed and he whispered,
"Young Master first went to Zhenguo Duke's Mansion, and then went to Jingzhao Yin Mansion. He was originally going to see His Majesty in the palace to report on the patrol..."
Gu Qingyuan grabbed Pei Jinting's hand. His fingers were well-jointed, slender and cold.
She knew very well why Pei Jinting went to those two places.
Ruan and Gu Yunniang, even if Pei Jinting doesn't look for them, she will still look for them.
It was already dawn, and the light of day jumped out from the horizon. The morning mist still enveloped the courtyard desertedly.
The sound of footsteps gradually started, and Gu Qingyuan let go of Pei Jinting's hand and stepped out.
Is the imperial doctor here?
Gu Qingyuan, who just walked to the door in one step, did not see the imperial doctor. She only saw Duke Chengen and his wife arriving in the corridor.
Behind them were Chen Zhao and several other young masters and girls in the mansion.
When Mrs. Chengen saw Pei Jinting in a coma, she glanced at Gu Qingyuan and said lightly mockingly,
"No matter who brought you into the house. Since the divorce letter has been given to you and accepted, this is not the place you should come to."
As she spoke, she pulled Gu Qingyuan's hand, and the force on her fingers was particularly strong.
"Come here, please ask the eldest daughter of the Gu family to go out." She smiled coldly at Gu Qingyuan and asked someone to drive Gu Qingyuan away.
Gu Qingyuan clenched her palms tightly.
I was just about to ask Madam Chengen to be tolerant and wait until Pei Jinting wakes up before she leaves.
Unexpectedly, Chen Zhao, who was following them, spoke,
"Aunt, if Ayuan can enter the house, it must be Jingheng who brought him into the house. If Jingheng wakes up and doesn't see Ayuan, he will definitely ask. Otherwise..."
"How about waiting for Jingheng to wake up before making a decision?"
"Now it's important to let Jingheng wake up."
She looked at Gu Qingyuan with an apologetic look, as if she were the owner of this mansion, and said hypocritically,
"Ayuan, you also know your current status...it's really not our family's problem. Jingheng can't change it for a while..."
After hearing her sincere words, Gu Qingyuan smiled with a smile on her face.
"What Madam Yu said is that when the Third Young Master wakes up, I will leave naturally."
Mrs. Chengen sneered and said,
"I have already sent someone to deliver the letter to the Duke of Zhen. No matter what your status is, you always come from the Duke of Zhen. We have no control over your family affairs."
Gu Qingyuan lowered her eyes. She knew that Mrs. Chengen didn't like her.
But I didn't expect that she would be so unhappy.
She knew that Gu Qingyuan was an orphan baby bought by the Gu family, so she was just like a bought girl.
Send Gu Qingyuan to Zhu's home. With Ruan's temperament, what can she do?
Even if she just kicked Gu Qingyuan out, it would be better than sending her to the Gu family.
Duke Cheng'en stood aside and talked to the arriving imperial doctor about Pei Jinting's coma.
Gu Qingyuan frowned when she heard this. Compared with Mrs. Chengen who still had the strength to get angry with her, Mr. Chengen looked even more nervous.
He kept asking the imperial doctor Pei Jinting how his pulse was and what kind of prescription he should take.
It was rumored in the capital that Duke Chengen loved his three sons so much that he wanted the stars but not the moon to treat them like pearls or treasures.
His attitude at this moment seemed to be true, but it always gave Gu Qingyuan a sense of disobedience.
Moreover, he seemed to know very well why Pei Jinting fell into coma.
Gu Qingyuan suppressed the tumbling emotions in her heart.
The imperial doctor quickly prescribed the prescription and asked his servants to brew the medicine.
The medicinal soup was fed into Pei Jinting's mouth, but there was no movement of swallowing.
When Gu Qingyuan wanted to step forward and hug Pei Jinting's head, Chen Zhao beat him to it. She sat on the bedside, picked up Pei Jinting, and the maid brought medicine soup to his mouth.
Chen Zhao lowered his head and kept calling Pei Jinting's name, his voice a little panicked.
Finally, Pei Jinting reacted, frowned slightly, and swallowed the bitter medicine in his mouth.
When Mrs. Chengen saw that he finally swallowed the decoction, she clasped her hands together and said,
"Thank God, I'm lucky to have you. Zhao Zhao was like this in the past. When he refused to take medicine, he would take it as soon as you yelled."
"It's a pity that you..."
Halfway through, Mrs. Chengen swallowed the second half of the sentence.
