Qin Rushuang was in a daze and had no idea how serious her fever was. She just instinctively denied her feelings.
"I'm fine, cough cough cough..."
As she said that, she still wanted to stand up, but Xie Xun's first reaction was to push her back: "Have a good rest, what are you doing when you get up?"
"Why is the prince here? Who is watching the child?"
Xie Xun felt a little distressed. He covered her with a quilt and then said slowly: "Don't worry, the child is with your brother."
After finishing speaking, he paused and said: "That brat is sensible and doesn't make a fuss."
Speaking of this, Xie Xun remembered again when he just found out Qin Rushuang was sick.
It was the night after he had just returned. Considering that Qin Rushuang had worked hard for several days in Nanman, he took the initiative to take the child to another camp to rest.
But the brat was unwilling after playing for a while, and stretched his head to look for Qin Rushuang.
Xie Xun had no choice, so he discussed with him: "Then don't say anything later, and I will take you to see my mother."
He carefully carried the child to Qin Rushuang's tent and saw that she had fallen asleep. Fortunately, the child was very cooperative and made no sound.
But as he looked at it, Xie Xun felt something was wrong.
Qin Rushuang's face was abnormally red.
Thinking of the water splashed all over Qin Rushuang yesterday, Xie Xun's heart tightened and he reached out to touch her forehead. It was indeed terribly hot.
It was at this time that Qin Rushuang groaned slightly in pain, and Xie Xun walked away with the child in her arms.
"Look, your mother is not feeling well, and dad has to take care of her. You and your uncle can take a good rest alone, okay?"
The child seemed to notice that Qin Rushuang was not feeling well, and was very cooperative and did not cry.
But when he was picked up by Qin Rufeng, he pulled Xie Xun's sleeve nervously.
Xie Xun was stunned and said, "Don't worry, I will take good care of your mother."
The child was reluctantly taken away by Qin Rufeng.
Seeing his reluctance and well-behaved appearance, Xie Xun felt a little relieved. Sure enough, mother and son were connected. This child would definitely be very filial to Qin Rushuang in the future.
Xie Xun deliberately described the situation at that time in great detail, and Qin Rushuang slowly lay down.
"Babies know that they need to give their mothers a good rest, so don't be careless yourself."
"Ahem, I understand.
While the two were talking, the soldiers came over with soup and medicine.
Xie Xun took the bowl himself.
"You didn't ask the military doctor to check your pulse before, so the medicine prescribed wasn't right for you, and that's why you started to have a fever."
"This is the medicine I prescribed after I asked him to check his pulse again. If the medicine doesn't work for you, just drink it randomly. Don't do anything wrong in the future!"
Xie Xun's tone was a little reproachful, but more of a distressed tone.
Qin Rushuang also knew that she was careless, and felt a little embarrassed by what he said, so she whispered in a low voice: "Isn't it just the invasion of wind and cold? Wouldn't it be nice to let the wind dissipate the heat..."
Xie Xun glanced at the tough-talking man angrily: "Not only that, but also overworked and deeply worried... In short, I won't be able to retreat for a while, so I need to take a good rest."
After he finished speaking, he tested the temperature of the bowl with his hand and found that it was no longer hot.
Qin Rushuang also saw his movements, so she stretched out a hand from the quilt to take it.
Xie Xun saw it, frowned slightly, and quickly pressed her hand back without any doubt.
"The military doctor said you need to sweat and not catch cold. I'll feed you something to drink."
After saying that, he hugged the person who was wrapped tightly like a silkworm baby and half leaned against him.
Qin Rushuang struggled for a few times and wanted to refuse quietly, but Xie Xun's movements became heavier.
He was very strong. He restrained Qin Rushuang with one hand and held the bowl with the other. Seeing Qin Rushuang struggling fiercely, he raised his eyebrows and said, "If you do this again, I will really do it."
Qin Rushuang became quiet after hearing this. Xie Xun picked up the bowl and slowly brought it to her mouth. Qin Rushuang watched his movements without blinking, and suddenly her heart skipped a beat.
Could this person want to imitate the talented and beautiful ladies in some story book, take a sip and feed it to himself?!
That’s too disgusting!
So he struggled even harder.
"Let me go and I'll drink it myself! I don't want you to use your mouth..."
When the bowl reached his lips, Xie Xun paused for a moment. Seeing how hard Qin Rushuang was struggling, and hearing her unfinished words, he smiled inwardly and said, "Did you think I was going to..."
He laughed softly and said, "I just want to taste the medicine for you to see if it's still hot. What are you thinking about?"
Qin Rushuang made herself uncomfortable and turned her head away in embarrassment.
After Xie Xun finished speaking, he took a sip himself and felt that the temperature was about the same, so he moved the other side of the bowl to Qin Rushuang's lips.
Qin Rushuang didn't dare to move now and drank the entire bowl of medicine with Xie Xun's hand.
The medicine was very bitter. If it were normal times, Qingzhi would have used candied fruit to coax her to drink it. But at this moment, Qin Rushuang just wanted to end this torture of medicine as soon as possible, so she drank it very cooperatively.
But the medicine was bitter after all. After drinking it, Qin Rushuang's brows were frowning. She missed the days when Qingzhi was around. There was no caring little maid around, and no one thought about her even when she drank the medicine.
While she was in trance, she felt something touching her mouth, and Qin Rushuang subconsciously opened her mouth.
The next second, a sweet and sour plum was stuffed into Qin Rushuang's mouth.
Xie Xun's movements paused for a moment.
His fingertips just accidentally touched the tip of Qin Rushuang's tongue, and the warm and moist feeling flashed past. Before Qin Rushuang noticed, he quickly retracted his hand.
"There are no candied fruits. The military doctor said that your throat is a little red and you should not eat anything too sweet. There are only these pickled plums. You can eat one to remove the taste."
Qin Rushuang was first fed some medicine by Xie Xun with some force, and then was fed a plum by Xie Xun himself. Her head was buzzing.
In addition to having a fever, I felt that my thinking was a little unclear, so I obediently moved myself to lie down.
She was somewhat resistant to the unclear relationship she had with Xie Xun. She just wanted to finish drinking and lie down quickly so that Xie Xun could leave and she could have some peace and quiet.
But after Xie Xun fed her the medicine, he asked his soldiers to take the bowl away, and then he just sat on her bedside without any intention of leaving.
Qin Rushuang glanced at him and asked, "Is everything okay in the prince's army? There is no need to stay here, I can do it by myself."
Xie Xun said in a calm tone, "It's okay. All arrangements for the two cities have been completed, and the soldiers stationed in the south who were originally captured have also been placed."
"What about your plans after returning to Beijing? Where are the children? Your Majesty, you can't do this..."
"What can't be done? You can't ruin the country because of your beauty?"
Xie Xun hugged her quilt again, "You usually resist my closeness, but you are sick and have no strength. Why don't I take this opportunity to ask for it back?"
Qin Rushuang shut up.
She knew that Xie Xun was teasing her, and Xie Xun would not do this...
At least he won't take advantage of others' danger.
Sure enough, Xie Xun didn't do anything after he finished speaking. He leisurely took a book of local customs and read it aside.
Neither of them spoke, and it was okay at first, but then when the medicine in Qin Rushuang's body gradually came into play, she felt a little hot, and her body began to sweat, making her feel sticky and uncomfortable.
Qin Rushuang glanced at Xie Xun, who was lost in reading, and secretly wanted to stretch out her arm to get some air, but as soon as she made a move, Xie Xun held her down with a big hand.
"The military doctor said, you can't catch a cold, you have to sweat."
"too hot……"
Qin Rushuang withdrew her hand, but quietly lifted the quilt around her neck with her other hand, hoping to let the cool breeze in.
Xie Xun didn't know what she was doing. He sighed helplessly and put down the book in his hand.
Then, before Qin Rushuang could react, she lay down on her back and hugged Qin Rushuang whole through the quilt.
