Chapter 207 Fever
Chapter 207 Fever
Outside the palace corridor, Xiao Mo faced the cold wind that cut her face, and the more she walked, the lighter her head and the heavier her feet felt.
Shen Yun followed beside her, looked at her pale face, and reached out to support her with concern.
"Miss, are you feeling unwell? Why don't you go wait for me in the pavilion over there while we find a carriage?"
Xiao Mo raised the corners of her mouth and smiled at her: "No, I'm fine."
"I'm telling you, even your walking seems like you're floating. I'd better help you sit over there for a while." Shen Yun ignored her insistence and helped her walk towards the pavilion.
Xiao Mo knew her physical condition, so she stopped refusing. As soon as her butt touched the stone bench, she supported her forehead with her hands and closed her eyes.
"No need to look for a carriage, just stay with me for a while."
Shen Yun bit her lip, and as she watched her face become increasingly pale, her worry grew even more intense.
She looked up and around, a hint of panic flashed in her eyes: "Miss, wait here for me, I'll go, I'll go find the imperial physician..."
Xiao Mo frowned tightly and shook her head gently: "I just didn't get enough rest. I'll be fine after sitting for a while."
She was just too sad about Nie Changyuan's matter, and she had been rushing back day and night, and she had insomnia last night, which caused her to feel dizzy for a short time.
Once she circulates her true energy and calms her mind for a while, she will gradually get better.
Shen Yun gritted her teeth and stood beside her, watching her cross-leggedly practicing her skills. It took a long time for her expression to warm up.
He wanted to say hello to her but was afraid of disturbing her, and his anxious look seemed to be seen by Xiao Mo who had her eyes closed.
Xiao Mo slowly opened her eyes, put down her legs and sighed softly: "Let's go."
Shen Yun felt a little relieved when she saw that her eyes had become clearer. Just as she was about to help her up, her legs went weak and she knelt down.
She supported herself on the stone bench with one hand, gritted her teeth and swallowed hard, "Go prepare the carriage."
Shen Yun nodded anxiously, and helped her up to sit on the stool with a panicked look: "Sit here for a while, I'll be back soon."
She looked around again, trying to find a palace maid to watch over her, but she didn't see a single person.
She didn't dare to delay any longer. She looked at Xiao Mo hesitantly and ran out in a hurry.
"Hey, Your Highness, that seems to be General Xiao!"
In the distance, a palace servant was reporting official business to Qi Yue, when he suddenly spotted Xiao Mo in the pavilion behind the tree branches.
Qi Yue turned sideways and looked in the direction the palace maid was looking, and sure enough, he saw Xiao Mo leaning on the table with her eyes closed and taking a nap.
He wondered why she would rest so defenselessly in a place like this.
"You guys go back." After dismissing the palace maids, he walked towards the pavilion with light steps.
Yuan Mu followed behind him not too far away, ready to be on standby at any time.
Qi Yue looked at Xiao Mo with burning eyes, and subconsciously slowed down his steps as he approached her.
"Amo, Amo?"
He called her softly, and when she didn't move, he raised his hand and put it on her shoulder.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I touched her, she fell straight to the other side.
Qi Yue panicked, and quickly pulled her by the arm, holding her in his arms: "Amo!"
He called her again, his voice raising, worry evident in his tone.
Xiao Mo fell into his arms. Although she fainted, her brows were still tightly furrowed.
Qi Yue shook her gently, and was startled when his fingertips accidentally touched her skin.
It's hot! She has a fever!
"Yuan Mu, go and call the imperial physician." He didn't dare to delay, picked up Xiao Mo and returned to the East Palace.
When Qi Minxiu came out from the emperor's place, he thought Xiao Mo had already left the palace. He planned to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to see her, but he didn't expect to meet Shen Yun, who looked anxious, on the way.
He called her and walked up to her with a serious face: "Why are you here? Where is your lady?"
When Shen Yun saw him, it was like seeing a life-saving straw, and she even forgot to greet him.
"Your Highness, the young lady is not feeling well and is resting in the pavilion over there!" She pointed in the direction to the side and looked at Qi Minxiu.
Qi Minxiu glanced in the direction she pointed, then looked at the imperial physician following behind her, his face suddenly becoming gloomy.
"Where is it? Lead the way."
"Your Highness, please follow me."
When they rushed to the pavilion where Xiao Mo was resting as quickly as possible, they did not see the person who should be there, but instead saw a person who should not be there.
When Yuan Mu saw Shen Yun coming with Qi Minxiu, he straightened his posture and walked forward respectfully to salute him.
"This subordinate greets His Royal Highness Prince Chen."
Qi Minxiu looked at him puzzledly: "Why are you here? Where is General Xiao?"
"General Xiao fainted due to fever and has been taken back to the Eastern Palace by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Yuan Mu replied truthfully.
Shen Yun opened her mouth slightly and turned her head cautiously to look at Qi Minxiu.
Qi Minxiu's eyes suddenly changed, he clenched his fists, turned around and headed towards the East Palace.
In Qi Yue's bedroom, the imperial physician was taking Xiao Mo's pulse. Just as he withdrew his hand, someone rushed in through the door.
Qi Yue looked up impatiently and saw Qi Minzheng staring at him with hostility.
He walked to the bed with heavy steps, and his eyes softened instantly when he looked at Xiao Mo.
"How is she?"
The imperial physician was shocked by the undercurrent between them and was stunned for a moment, not realizing that Qi Minxiu was asking him.
Just when Qi Minxiu was about to ask again, he reacted and quickly raised his body respectfully.
"General Xiao was overly tired, and his heart was suffocated, which led to a high fever and blood circulation problems, which caused him to faint."
"Then how can we..."
Qi Yue and Qi Minxiu asked in unison, and when they realized something was wrong, they looked at each other in surprise.
Qi Minxiu looked away with disdain and looked at the imperial physician coldly: "How can we cure her?"
"I will prescribe medicine for General Xiao right now, but this medicine can only help reduce her fever and treat her physical illness.
She has to figure out her inner problems on her own, otherwise they will only get worse."
The imperial physician stood up and bowed to him, then walked to the table beside him and picked up a pen and paper.
I feel depressed...
Qi Minxiu frowned and looked at the person on the bed with a bad expression.
Was it because of him? She was so sad because she thought he had killed her master.
When Qi Yue heard the imperial physician say that Xiao Mo had a high fever due to excessive sadness, his gloomy eyes instantly shot towards Qi Minxiu.
"Do you know how much your killing of Nie Changyuan meant to her?"
Qi Minxiu stared at the person on the bed as if he hadn't heard anything, his eyes full of self-blame.
Qi Yue was dissatisfied with his attitude and stood up and walked to him.
"You are her lover, Nie Changyuan is her relative, and you two are the most important people in her life.
However, the person who killed her family happened to be the one she loved the most. No one could get over this."
