Chapter 609: Be prepared for danger in times of peace (13)

After hearing what he said, Quan Ling remained silent.

He thought he had done something to displease the adults, and ended up coming to him to ask how to not appear dull.

The next day, Sui Zhao woke up very early, feeling uncomfortable.

“Shuang Xu, your young lady is feeling very uncomfortable…” She pulled Shuang Xu’s hand and acted coquettishly, her voice a little hoarse, “My throat hurts.”

Shuang Xu was checking her pulse and said distressedly, "The wind evil has entered your body. I'll ask Huai Xu to get you some medicine."

I got up at the beginning of the night at yin time to cover the young lady with a quilt. She was fine, but now she has a fever.

"Okay, I'm thirsty." She missed her mother.

Why do I get sick when I leave my mother?

Wronged.

Shuangxu went to open the door, found Huaixu and asked him to get some medicine for the cold, then came back and made a bowl of slightly hot water and fed it to Suizhao.

Huai Xu brought back some medicine and boiled it for her. She drank it and took a nap. After waking up, she was still feeling unhappy. She had no appetite, ate a few bites to fill her stomach, and went back to sleep.

At noon, the high fever subsided, and Shuang Xu breathed a sigh of relief, "It must be because you traveled too much on the road, you were overworked, and suddenly relaxed, and kicked off the quilt at night, which caused you to catch a cold."

"I won't kick the quilt anymore. It's so uncomfortable to be sick. I feel tired all over after lying down." She didn't even have the strength to speak.

Shuang Xu patted her head lovingly, "Poor young lady."

Sui Zhao turned over and stared at the ceiling in a daze. Sick people always have no energy and are sleepy. As she looked at it, her eyelids became heavy again.

In the evening, she got up and sat on the couch, lying listlessly, "Shuang Xu, read the storybook to me. The book is at the end of the bed."

Upon hearing this, Shuang Xu took the book of strange stories, turned to the page with the bookmark, and began to read it carefully.

"There was a chewing sound in the darkness, and my sister was surprised to hear it, 'Grandma, what are you eating?'"

"Children can't eat it. Don't ask too much."

"'Oh, okay.' My sister felt the wetness on the bed and asked, 'Grandma, why is the bed wet?'"

"My grandmother smiled and said in an old voice that sounded particularly strange in the dark night, 'That's because your brother wet the bed.'"

"'But why did my brother pee so much?'"

"'Your brother was naughty and spilled water on the bed.'"

"But the smell of blood in the air told my sister that the truth was not as 'grandmother' said."

"My sister felt around and felt something round and wet. She pushed it and it rolled to my grandmother's hand. She suppressed her fear and asked, 'Grandma, what is this?'"

"'Grandma' laughed and said, 'This is a pillow.'"

"..."

As she read on, Shuang Xu found the story more and more creepy, but seeing that Sui Zhao was still listening, she gritted her teeth and continued reading.

Shuang Xu was reading seriously when there was a knock on the door. She slammed the book shut and said, "Miss, I'll go open the door."

The back of my head feels cool.

"Oh, go ahead." Thinking that it might be Shen Siwei coming, Sui Zhao perked up a little.

When Shen Siwei came in, he looked for Sui Zhao. Seeing that she didn't look well, he walked up to her in two steps and asked, "Are you sick?"

"Well, Shen Siwei, it feels so bad." She looked at him pitifully.

Shen Siwei pursed his lips, casually placed the things he brought on the small table beside him, and put the back of his hand on her forehead, "Have you seen a doctor? Have you taken medicine?"

Seeing his worried expression and anxious tone, Sui Zhao looked at him, his eyelashes trembling slightly, and replied seriously, "Shuang Xu and the secret guards are doctors. He has taken medicine twice. He was originally feverish, but now the fever has subsided."

Shen Siwei heaved a sigh of relief, "Then can we have dinner?"

"No, I can't eat. What did you bring?"

"Lotus leaf glutinous rice chicken, seeing that it's selling well, I bought two portions. Dian, An An, do you want to try it?"

She nodded. "I guess."

Shen Siwei took a piece of glutinous rice chicken from the table, removed the cotton thread and the outer lotus leaf, and handed it to her, "Don't dirty your hands."

Sui Zhao felt a little uncomfortable, but he still lowered his head, took a bite, and chewed slowly.

The flavors of the chicken and mushrooms are completely marinated into the glutinous rice, which is very fragrant.

Seeing him looking at her, she nodded slightly, "It's delicious."

"Then eat two more bites."

Shuang Xu, who wanted to step forward to take the things, stepped back and quietly went to the corner to serve as his own human screen.

She ate half of it, couldn't eat any more, and shook her head.

Shen Siwei put his things away, washed his hands in the basin, and poured her a cup of warm water, "Moisten your throat."

Sui Zhao held the cup and looked at him.

"how?"

She shook her head and pointed to the storybook that Shuang Xu had put aside. "I don't want to talk today, so you read the storybook to me."

"Yeah." Shen Siwei took the storybook and opened it.

"Have you had your dinner?"

"Not yet. They are still working on it. They can only be used when we return later. Where have you read so far?"

"The part where my sister was tied to the head of the bed by my grandmother's hair."

Shen Siwei glanced around and confirmed the location. "Are you not afraid?"

"Are you afraid I'll still listen?"

"Yeah." Shen Siwei continued reading to her, but his tone was flat.

Shuang Xu went to ask someone to boil medicine.

Sui Zhao looked at him while hugging a soft pillow, and there was some light in his eyes, which had been gloomy.

Shen Siwei raised his eyes, and the corners of his lips slightly raised.

After finishing the story, Shen Siwei took a sip of tea and asked, "Do you want to listen more?"

"You should go back for dinner."

He lowered his eyes and said, "Sit a little longer."

Sui Zhao moved closer to him, smiling: "Shen Luyuan, are you worried about me?"

"Ah."

"Don't lower your head. I can't see your expression, so how can I know what you are thinking?" She sat cross-legged, holding her face with her hands and leaning on the soft pillow, looking at him, smiling as if she had regained her energy.

Shen Siwei raised his eyes and looked deeply into her eyes, "An An, are you in a good mood?"

"Okay, what's the matter?"

"How about staying for two more days?"

"Okay." She was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.

She came for him, to seek an answer, and the answer was obvious.

Shen Siwei raised his hand and stroked the top of her head, his expression tinged with tenderness, "From tomorrow on, I will be fine for the time being. Get well soon and I will invite you to go on an autumn outing."

"That's what you said." She raised her head slightly and rubbed her head against his palm.

"Yeah." He smiled faintly.

Shuang Xu brought the medicine over, "Miss, it's time to take the medicine."

Sui Zhao took it and drank it in one gulp.

Shen Siwei looked at her and asked, "Is it bitter?"

Sui Zhao shook his head. "It's not bitter. The medicine my father gave me is only slightly bitter at most. It's not so bad that I can't drink it."

"Your father also knows medicine?" He was slightly surprised.

In the eyes of the world, the emperor is a legend.

"Yeah, I can do it, but not as good as Daddy."

Shen Siwei brought her some warm water to help her get rid of the taste of medicine in her mouth.

Seeing that she was in better spirits and it was getting dark, Shen Siwei stood up and left, "I'm leaving. I'll come back tomorrow morning."

"it is good."

After he left, Sui Zhao rolled over on the couch, holding Shuang Xu's hand, and said in an excited tone: "Shuang Xu Shuang Xu, he likes me too, right?"
