Chapter 022 Take Away
His whole body ached from the fever, and at that moment, Su Jinghe thought he was just hallucinating before he died.
A smile broke out on her pale and frail face, and tears fell down. "Are you sent by my sister to pick me up? Should I go find my sister?"
As Su Jinghe spoke, Su Qingqing felt Qiuyue's struggling body soften, and she let her go.
Qiuyue turned her head and covered her mouth and sobbed softly.
Su Qingqing felt so heartbroken when she saw Su Jinghe like this that she couldn't breathe.
This silly girl, does she think she is going to die?
"The general asked me to deliver the autumn candy to the second young lady that day, but unfortunately I was delayed due to some personal matters. I hope the second young lady will not blame me for being late."
Su Jinghe's bright eyes suddenly dimmed, "Aren't you sent by my sister to pick me up? My sister won't pick me up? Doesn't my sister miss me? But, I miss my sister."
Su Qingqing clenched her fists tightly to prevent the tears from falling.
"The second young lady is ill now. I will take her to see a doctor first, okay?"
Qiuyue, who was crying, suddenly rushed over and blocked Su Jinghe's bed. Her eyes were red, and she lowered her voice and said hoarsely, "Are you really sent by the general?"
Su Qingqing knew Qiuyue's loyalty to her sister, so she said in a gentle voice, "I know you are Qiuyue. I also know that you were picked up by the general from among the refugees. You were only five years old at that time, and you were almost boiled alive by the hungry refugees. The general saved you at the last moment before you were put into the pot."
Qiuyue opened her eyes wide and her heart skipped a beat.
Not only others, but even the Second Miss didn't know about her past.
"You...are you really the general's man?"
Although it was just a question, at this moment she had already believed the young man who suddenly appeared.
It’s not because of these words, but…
This was the only straw that came during her and Su Jinghe's miserable days.
How can you not grab a drowning person?
Her knees almost went weak, and she knelt down to Su Qingqing, "Master, save our young lady!"
She grabbed Su Qingqing's trouser leg tightly.
Su Qingqing took a deep breath as if thousands of arrows pierced her heart , pulling herself out of the grief in front of her, "Qiuyue, get up, let's go see the doctor first."
Gulp.
Before he could finish his words, Su Jinghe fell headfirst onto the bed.
Su Qingqing stepped forward in fear. Su Jinghe's whole body was burning with fever. "It's so hot!"
"Three days ago, the second young lady was pushed into the water by the third young lady. After I rescued her, she started to have a fever. Madam refused to call a doctor, and the young lady and I have no money. Sir..."
Su Qingqing picked up Su Jinghe and said, "There is no time to waste. I will take her to see a doctor now. It is not convenient to take you with me. You can leave the house by yourself after daybreak, and then wait until tomorrow evening. You can go to the Prince's House to find a person named Jixiang. I will tell you in detail then."
Qiuyue was relieved, but the situation was urgent. Su Qingqing did not give her the chance to say more. After giving her a brief explanation, she hugged Su Jinghe and left.
As soon as they left, Qiuyue suddenly felt a strong sense of fear in her heart.
sky!
Why is she so confused!
Let a stranger take the second young lady away!
If something unexpected happens, how can she face the general!
But now, everyone is gone, and she... she... the anxiety is like weeds that entwine from the soles of her feet to her heart, but there is nothing she can do.
She was afraid that the young man was a bad person, but she also hoped that he was really the general's man.
…
Su Qingqing carried Su Jinghe and ran straight to the Prince's Mansion.
If you leave quietly, you can return quietly. Once you return, you will take off the disguise on your face and wake up Jixiang.
"Go and call Doctor Lin."
Doctor Lin was one of Su Qingqing's dowry, and he had been Su Qingqing's exclusive imperial physician over the years.
Jixiang was woken up in a daze had no idea why her prince would call the imperial physician in the middle of the night.
It was almost a conditioned reflex, I put on my clothes and left.
When Jixiang returned with Doctor Lin, she suddenly discovered that on her master's bed lay a girl with rosy cheeks and a frail frame.
Jixiang's sleepiness disappeared in an instant.
What's going on?
A sudden transformation?
Jixiang stared at her highness with wide eyes, but Su Qingqing didn't bother to explain more and just said to Doctor Lin, "Let her have a look."
Doctor Lin, with the good professional qualities of a dedicated imperial physician (I am just an emotionless doctor), started to diagnose without saying a word.
"The cold has invaded, but it's not serious. It's just that the girl is deficient in blood and malnourished. Her weak body couldn't withstand the cold and she had a high fever and fainted. I'll prescribe a prescription for her to take and she'll be fine."
After hearing this, Su Qingqing's solemn expression finally relaxed.
"Thank you for your help." After a pause, Su Qingqing said, "Instead of taking the decoction, can I take the pills?"
Doctor Lin was stunned for a moment, then he understood.
They had just arrived and had not yet officially married, so it was indeed inappropriate to prepare medicine in the Prince's Mansion now. Moreover, this sick girl was not brought from Zhao State.
Thinking about it, Doctor Lin said, "Most pills are for replenishing qi and blood. You can take them when the cold is gone. For the current symptoms, it is best to take decoctions. Everyone has been traveling these days and is tired. I was planning to make some decoctions tomorrow morning to share with everyone to replenish their bodies."
This was just to find a suitable excuse to cover up for Su Qingqing.
How could Su Qingqing not understand? She immediately said gratefully, "In that case, thank you for your help."
Doctor Lin bowed and went back to boil the medicine.
As soon as he left, Jixiang stared at the person lying on the bed with wide eyes, "Your Highness, who is she?"
Su Qingqing did not intend to hide it from Jixiang. After all, she had things to do in the Great Yan Kingdom, and she couldn't go out without Jixiang's company.
"Have you heard that there is an iron-blooded female general in the Great Yan Kingdom?"
Jixiang nodded, "It's the same name as yours."
Su Qingqing sighed and said sullenly, "Yes, she has the same name as me, but she died on the battlefield. This is her sister, Su Jinghe."
Jixiang was stunned for a moment, "The general's sister?"
The whole thing is so impressive: How come the general's sister is so thin!
Su Qingqing smiled bitterly: "That great general and this second young lady are the legitimate children of the mansion. There are also several concubines and illegitimate brothers and sisters in the mansion. After her death, there must have been a lot of changes in the mansion!"
Jixiang reads a lot of storybooks in his daily life.
In an instant, he imagined eight hundred battles between legitimate and illegitimate children. He turned around and sighed sympathetically at Su Jinghe lying on the bed, "Poor little thing."
After saying this, he was silent for a while with a sad face, and suddenly realized that something was wrong.
"Your Highness, what happened in her family has nothing to do with you? Where did you get her in the middle of the night? How do you know her?"
Su Qingqing took a deep breath in grief, "Now that things have come to this, I won't hide it from you anymore."
Jixiang immediately felt as if he had been given a mission in a time of crisis. He straightened his back and looked serious.
"In fact, at noon on the day when Shen Ye was punished, I had a dream while taking a nap. I dreamed of the great general.
She said she was murdered by someone, and that her sister was living a miserable life now, and asked me to help her since we had the same name.
In exchange, she passed on her lifelong martial arts skills to me in my dreams."
auspicious:!
You want me to believe this?
You don't really think I'm a fool!
