"What? Miss, you stayed here watching over this maid all night?" Zi Xia’s eyes gradually welled up with tears. She was so moved. As a re maid, how could she deserve the Miss’s care?
Xuexue replied grumpily, "If I had taken care of you all night, you wouldn’t have been feverish and unconscious."
Long Yi also comforted Zi Xia, saying, "Don’t feel guilty. Madam only ca by in the morning and found you unconscious."
Xuexue said, "That’s right! Every morning, you wait outside my door with the washing kit, but this morning you weren’t there. It felt strange, so I ca to check and found you delirious with fever."
Zi Xia looked astonished, "What? I was delirious?"
"Yes, when I ca in, do you rember what you said to ?"
"I don’t rember. Did I talk to the Miss?" Zi Xia looked puzzled; she had really forgotten.
"You did. You said you felt awful and your foot hurt. That’s how I knew you had a wound."
"Oh! That’s what happened." After saying that, Zi Xia suddenly struggled to sit up.
"What are you doing?"
"I’m going to find Divine Doctor Cheng to settle accounts. What kind of Divine Doctor is he? Like Lord Yama, better off without his dicine; once he gives it, it could cost a life. And he still dares to call himself a Divine Doctor." Knowing her illness, Zi Xia was very angry and, disregarding her frail body, struggled to sit up, intending to go to the Hundred Herbs Cottage to confront Divine Doctor Cheng.
Xuexue persuaded, "You’ve just woken up and are very weak. It’s better to recover first!"
Long Yi also said, "The madam is right. Nothing is more important than your health. The Hundred Herbs Cottage is in this town; he won’t run away."
Xuexue said, "Indeed, as the saying goes, ’the monk can run, but the temple won’t disappear.’ What are you worried about? Be good and lie down. We’ll be setting off back to the capital in a few days. If you’re still unwell, we won’t take you with us."
Upon hearing this, Zi Xia imdiately cried out, "How can that be? I still need to take care of the Miss!"
Most importantly, she and Long Yi had opened up to each other; as the saying goes, ’he was affectionate, and she had feelings’, they naturally couldn’t bear to be apart.
Xuexue said, "If you don’t want to stay, just obediently lie in bed and heal. Only with good health can you have the energy to make a fuss at the Hundred Herbs Cottage."
After hearing this, Zi Xia obediently lay back in bed.
Xuexue smiled satisfactorily and asked Long Yi to send up so white porridge and pickled vegetables.
People with a fever have weak stomachs and intestines, so it’s not suitable to eat food that’s too hard, salty, or oily, as it’s not conducive to absorption.
After curing Zi Xia, Xuexue was very happy. She hadn’t expected that a dical book she accidentally found in her space would save Zi Xia’s life. It made her even more interested in the dical book. She resolved to study it well, as it might prove very useful in the future.
After all, Zi Xia was young, and her body recovered very quickly. Moreover, after Xuexue applied dicine to her foot in the morning, by evening, it miraculously didn’t hurt anymore, and she could get up and move around energetically.
"Miss, what kind of dicine did you apply? It’s amazing, even better than that Ghostly Divine Doctor at the Hundred Herbs Cottage." After recovering, Zi Xia kept circling around Xuexue, asking incessantly.
To conceal the secret of the space, Xuexue said, "I don’t know either; those dicines were given to by the Prince for self-defense."
"No wonder the Miss has such good dicine. So it’s from the Prince." Zi Xia had no doubt about Xuexue’s words.
