"Who is out late at night?" The guard caught a glimpse of Luo Xia's figure, but did not see the person clearly. After shouting, he immediately stepped forward and stopped her.

Ever since Qi Zhen was assassinated five years ago, the guards around him have been extremely strict and cautious. Luoxia had only walked less than ten steps outside the gate of Xueyuan. As soon as he passed by the wall of the main courtyard, he alerted the guards inside.

.

The two guards who appeared, both holding long swords, stood in front of Luoxia, blocking her way.

Luoxia was startled, hurriedly avoiding the sharp blade, and replied: "I am the maid in the snow courtyard. My young lady has caught the wind and cold and is suffering from a high fever. I am in a hurry to ask the doctor, and I am leaving in the middle of the night."

As soon as she finished speaking, the eunuch serving the pen and ink in the study also came out after hearing the guard's movements.

Not far away, the eunuch recognized Hou Luoxia, and hurriedly came forward and said, "The East Palace was locked at midnight. Miss Luoxia came out of the East Palace late at night. I'm afraid I need to ask His Highness for permission."

Luoxia's face changed slightly when she heard this. She was aware of the rules of locking up after child's hour, but she was in a hurry just now and forgot about it. When the eunuch mentioned it, she also remembered it.

But my young lady just had a scene with His Highness today, and now she has to leave the East Palace late at night to ask for a doctor. Wouldn't it be even worse if she disturbed His Highness again? Thinking of this, Luoxia inevitably hesitated, and then thought about the room.

The young lady with a high fever finally gritted her teeth and spoke.

"Please, father-in-law, please inform Your Highness that my young lady has a severe fever and we really can't wait any longer."

The father-in-law paused for a moment when he heard this, then nodded in agreement and went to the study room in the main courtyard to report.

It was already midnight, and the light in the study was still burning.

Luoxia was waiting outside the main courtyard, only hoping that Qi Zhen would respond quickly and let her go out to invite the doctor. She was also afraid that Qi Zhen, because of the young lady's temper today, would think that the young lady was causing trouble tonight, and would delay the appointment for the young lady.

The doctor provides treatment.

She was so anxious that she paced back and forth outside the courtyard gate. Seeing her father-in-law step into the study, her heart skipped a beat.

Luoxia kept waiting for the father-in-law to come out and reply, but she didn't expect that Qi Zhen walked out of the study just a moment after the father-in-law came out.

Qi Zhen, dressed in thin clothes, stepped out of the study room quickly, with a heavy look of tiredness on his face and eyes, but a look of worry hidden in his eyes.

He walked quickly toward the snowy courtyard. As he passed by the sunset, he asked, "What's going on?" His voice was hoarse as if he hadn't slept all night.

Luoxia hurriedly followed him and replied from the side: "I was guarding the young lady outside the room at night. Suddenly I heard a thump. I hurriedly went in and saw the young lady fainted next to the soft pillow. No matter how I called the young lady, she didn't answer.

I stretched out my hand to explore and found that my master's forehead was very hot. I thought it must have been due to the cold wind and fever at night, so I planned to leave the East Palace to ask a doctor to come and treat the young lady."

Qi Zhen knew that Linglong's body would become hot when exposed to cold. Hearing this, he gave Luoxia a cold look, took off a jade token from his body, and turned to the little eunuch following him: "Take Gu's jade token and go to the palace."

Please ask the doctor to come over."

After saying this, he threw the jade token to the young eunuch and ran quickly to the snowy courtyard.

Qi Zhen's movements when he arrived at the Xueyuan also awakened Qiu Shui.

Qiu Shui got up in a daze and saw Qi Zhen hurriedly walking into the courtyard to his master's bedroom, and hurriedly followed him.

In the bedroom, Linglong still looked the same as before Luoxia left.

She was completely wrapped in the quilt, but she was still shivering from the cold.

The person in the quilt covered her face with redness, her hair on her temples was soaked, and she murmured something cold.

Qi Zhen had always been cold-hearted, but when he saw Linglong's pitiful appearance, he felt that his whole heart was broken. He couldn't care less about the cold words he said today.

As soon as others entered the inner room, they naturally saw that there was no heater in the inner room, and immediately scolded: "Why don't you bring a few heaters in!"

After hearing this, Luoxia and Qiu Shui hurriedly lit the stove outside and moved into the inner room, not daring to stop for a moment.

Speaking of which, he blames Qi Zhen. He doesn't like the heat, so in the past, the East Palace almost never burned the earth dragon. This year, because of Linglong, it was rare to burn the earth dragon, but he also worried that Qi Zhen wouldn't like it.

Due to the heat, most of the time, only earth dragons were burned in the Linglong courtyard without a heater.

Under normal circumstances, Linglong would be afraid of the cold, but it would be over if he tolerated it for a while, and he would not get sick.

But today, she stood outside the garden of Ning'an Marquis Mansion for too long.

It snowed heavily today, and she had to stand outside for such a long time. The heavy snow and cold wind were already harmful to her body, and Linglong was afraid of the cold. If she did something wrong at night, she would develop a fever.

Qi Zhen walked closer and reached the bed. When he lowered his eyes, he could clearly see Linglong's uncomfortable look, and he could really hear her murmuring in his ears.

Linglong was wrapped in a quilt and kept muttering cold words in her mouth. Qi Zhen listened to the mutterings and her eyebrows were anxious.

He sat next to the bed, took the handkerchief that Linglong had placed on the bed, wiped the cold sweat from her forehead, and coaxed her in a warm voice: "It will warm up in a while, just bear with it."

Linglong's consciousness was drowsy, and she didn't know if she understood Qi Zhen's words.

She felt so uncomfortable that she no longer murmured about being cold, but bit her lip and cried, sobbing and mourning in a low voice, each sound hitting Qi Zhen's heart.

Qi Zhen touched her forehead, and the warmth under his palm made her heart even more anxious.

"Where's the imperial doctor? Why don't you come over? Let the guards from the East Palace go over and urge you on the way."

He was so anxious that he lost his usual composure, and even asked the guards of the East Palace to rush people.

Fortunately, as soon as he finished speaking, the young eunuch led the imperial doctor and rushed over.

The imperial doctor was called over late at night by the jade sign of His Highness the Crown Prince of the East Palace. He thought that His Highness the Crown Prince was suffering from some sudden illness, so he hurried all the way to the East Palace in a hurry. Only when he arrived at the East Palace and stepped into the snowy courtyard did he realize that, actually, the Crown Prince was seriously ill.

It's the prince's beloved concubine who is unwell.

Knowing that there was nothing wrong with the prince's health, the imperial doctor breathed a sigh of relief and followed the young eunuch into the inner room. He happened to hear Qi Zhen asking the guards to urge him, and he made an estimate in his heart, knowing that this beloved concubine should be extremely favored.

.

He secretly took a look at Qi Zhen's expression and hurriedly stepped forward to check Linglong's pulse.

This girl doesn't have any serious illness, she just has a cold and a fever. She can take some medicine to reduce the fever.

However, this girl's pulse condition looked a little strange, as if she had been using contraceptive drugs for a long time, and she seemed to be depressed.

The imperial doctor's expression changed slightly, and he did not talk too much to avoid getting into trouble.

He just said: "Your Excellency caught a cold and didn't sleep properly at night, so he developed a fever. Wait for Wei Chen to prescribe some antipyretic medicine, boil it and take it. You should be able to wake up in two days."

Have a good rest these days and pay attention to the cold in the future."

Qi Zhen breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, nodded slightly, and said hello.

As long as it's nothing serious, Linglong's appearance of fainting due to illness is really scary.

The imperial doctor and his maids went down to make medicine, but Qi Zhen and Ling Long were the only two people left in the bedroom.

The inner room was silent, except for the exquisite and low crying voice that kept lingering in Qi Zhen's ears.

He held his forehead and lowered his eyes, his eyes full of helplessness.

"It's really frustrating." Qi Zhen said this while holding a handkerchief to wipe the tears from Linglong's eyes.

Exquisite tears, like the gurgling stream, always flowed non-stop. Qi Zhen had seen her cry in front of him countless times. Sometimes he liked to see her with red eyes when she begged him pitifully, and sometimes he

Just like today, it is inevitable to feel heartbroken.

Qi Zhen looked at the red eyes of Linglong crying and remembered the last time Linglong fell ill due to cold.

It was the first year in Nanyuan, the day after they consummated their marriage.

Because of the dream, Qi Zhen wanted to escape. He avoided Linglong all day long and rested in the study at night.

When the night rolled around, he remembered Linglong calling him "husband" on his shoulder on the night of Shangyuan. Somehow he got up and walked to the door of her room. He stood outside the door of Linglong's room for a long time, but never stepped in.

door.

In the middle of the night, the maid's hurried voice suddenly sounded in the exquisite room.

Qi Zhen unconsciously opened the door and walked in. Linglong also had a high fever that day due to the cold.

It's just that she was slightly less sick that time than today. When Qi Zhen opened the door and entered, her eyes were blurry, but she could still recognize the person in front of her clearly and she had not fallen asleep.

Qi Zhen stood beside her bed, Linglong clutched his sleeves, crying uncomfortably.

Qi Zhen had lived for more than twenty years, and it was the first time that he shed tears for the girl's family, and he felt very sad.

That was the first time his heart ached over Linglong's tears, and the first time he felt powerless.

At that time, he was imprisoned in Nanyuan and could not even hire an imperial doctor for her.

I can only hold her and wipe her body over and over again.

The cold wine was burning. He held the handkerchief in his hand and wiped the cold wine over her body inch by inch.

Qi Zhen never thought that he was a desireless saint, and he always thought that he treated Linglong special, but he was just moved by her beauty.

But that night when he held Linglong in his arms, he never had any dirty thoughts. He only thought about how some cold wine could make her body no longer feel hot.

The winter in Nanyuan was extremely cold, so the imprisoned deposed prince naturally had no need for charcoal fire.

Qi Zhen himself was afraid of heat but not cold, and he never paid attention to the charcoal fire. It was not until Linglong got sick from the cold that he realized that Linglong's body could not bear the cold.

Later, Qi Zhen went through a lot of trouble and asked an old friend to send charcoal fires to Nanyuan for heating in winter.

But at that time, Linglong never lit the stove whenever he arrived, and Qi Zhen asked her why.

Linglong said to him - "Your Highness comes here every day, Linglong won't feel cold, and naturally there will be no need for charcoal fire."

At that time, I just thought it was a little girl's coquettish words asking for favor, and I laughed in my ears. But now that I think about it, I realize that the little girl at that time was really lovable and lovable.

But now, he is so sharp-tongued that he can sting people.

The imperial doctor prepared the medicine and Luoxia brought it in.

The sound of footsteps awakened Qi Zhen from the memories of old events. He took the medicine bowl, took a spoonful of medicine and brought it to Linglong's lips.

All the decoction was fed into Linglong's mouth, but some of it spilled out from between her lips and teeth.

Linglong's consciousness was drowsy and she refused to take the medicine properly. She frowned in sleep and murmured "I feel uncomfortable..."

Qi Zhen looked at the overflowing soup, frowned slightly, took another spoonful of soup and brought it to Linglong's lips, coaxing in a warm voice: "Be obedient, Linglong, drink the medicine and you won't feel uncomfortable anymore."

With the warm voice coaxing her, she leaned closer and closer to Linglong.

For some unknown reason, Linglong's eyebrows knitted even tighter while she was sleeping, and she even unconsciously broke away from the quilt. She pushed Qi Zhen, who was close to her, with both hands, and cried with a sob: "I don't want you, I don't want you...
