Mu Yunjin hurried back to the bedroom, when Xiang Fu went out to go to the Lantern Festival, she didn't bring Zixiang with her, so she had to be alone in the bedroom, flustered.
Just as he took off his drenched coat, there was a knock on the door, followed by Shenmao's voice, "Prince Concubine, hot water is ready, you can take a bath first."
"En." Mu Yunjin responded, walked to the door, and opened the door.
Nanny Shen came in with a bowl of steaming ginger soup, glanced at Mu Yunjin whose hair was all glued together by water, frowned and said, "Prince and concubine, go take a bath first. Drink the soup, take a good rest."
"Although it is hot in summer now, but the whole body is wet like this, so you should be careful of the cold."
After Shen Momo finished speaking, she put down the ginger soup in her hand and waited for Mu Yunjin to take a bath first.
The moment Mu Yunjin soaked in the bathtub, she took a slight breath, and gradually a tinge of warmth came from her body, leaning against the bathtub, her eyes were a little empty.
Shen Momo stood behind the screen on one side, arranging the clothes that Mu Yunjin had changed, "Prince Concubine, what's going on with you? Did you fall into the water?"
"En." Mu Yunjin said lightly.
"Oh, I was really careless. Fortunately, nothing happened." After finishing her sentence, Shen Momo shook her head helplessly.
After a while, Mu Yunjin put on clean clothes and came out from behind the screen. Nanny Shen was still in Mu Yunjin's room. Seeing that she had finished bathing, she immediately took the bowl of ginger soup and handed it to Mu Yunjin. In front of him, "It's not so hot anymore, drink it quickly, drink it and have a good rest."
Mu Yunjin took ginger soup, and when she put it to her lips, the pungent smell of ginger made her frown, but she still gritted her teeth and gulped it down.
After drinking a bowl of ginger soup, Mu Yunjin's body was completely warmed up.
After Shen Momo went out with the empty bowl, Mu Yunjin walked back to the soft couch, lay down, covered herself with a quilt, and stared dryly at the ceiling.
After a while, my head was a little dizzy, and I gradually fell asleep.
…
The next day, the front hall of the Sixth Prince's Mansion was filled with all kinds of treasures and rewards.
After seeing off Eunuch Lu who came to announce the decree from the palace, Shen Momo turned around and looked at Chu Li who was drinking tea at the main seat.
"It turns out that the concubine jumped into the lake to save people last night. No wonder she was soaked to the skin. Even the emperor gave so many things as a reward." Mother Shen was speechless when she saw these rewards.
Ding Xian stood aside, saw this scene, and smiled, "Mother Shen, didn't you see how brave our concubine was last night? Now that the princess is in the eyes of everyone, she is also a heroine."
"Well, our concubine is really amazing. When I asked her last night, she even said that she accidentally fell into the water." Shen Momo shook her head helplessly.
While talking, Chu Li looked up at Shi Chen, and said slowly, "It's almost noon, isn't Mu Yunjin up yet?"
"Slaves, let's go and have a look." After finishing her sentence, Shen Momo walked towards the Liquan Pavilion.
After Shen Mama left, Zixiang, who had returned from the Prime Minister's Mansion, stepped into the front hall, and when she saw Chu Li's figure, she greeted Chu Li immediately.
"My servant pays homage to His Highness the Sixth Prince." Zi Xiang lowered her head and said.
Chu Li hummed lightly, glanced at Zixiang lightly, and after a while, his thin lips parted slightly, "When will Mu Yunjin become watery?"
"This..." Zixiang was speechless for a while, she lowered her eyes, and didn't dare to look at Chu Li at all. This morning, she heard the news that her young lady jumped into the lake to save people, and she felt that she must have heard it wrong.
She has been serving Mu Yunjin since she was a child. She never knew that the young lady could swim. When the young lady was banned from the Shihua Pavilion, the fifth young lady mischievously pushed the young lady into the pool and almost drowned. In the end, it was a few servants. rescued.
Just when she was a little apprehensive and didn't know how to answer, Zixiang suddenly remembered the various contrasts between Mu Yunjin during this period of time, so she had to lower her eyes and said, "Miss used to have a good relationship with the young master. .”
"Yeah." Chu Li nodded lightly.
"Oh, it's not good, hurry up and find a doctor." Shen Momo hurried into the front hall, and as soon as she entered the door, she casually shouted to a little maidservant.
Chu Li glanced at Nanny Shen, and frowned slightly, "What's wrong?"
"Prince Concubine may have caught a cold last night. When the slaves went to call her just now, they found that her body was very hot, and she probably had a fever." Shen Momo said.
After saying that, Chu Li pursed his lips, sat up, and walked towards Liquan Pavilion.
Mu Yunjin was lying on the soft couch with half-closed eyes, and tried to sit up a few times, but felt the world spinning, so she lay powerlessly on the soft couch and covered her head with the quilt.
The door was pushed open, and in the dimness, Mu Yunjin felt several footsteps approaching her direction.
Afterwards, she felt that the quilt covering her face was gently torn apart, and the sudden light made her frown and shrink back into the quilt.
Standing beside Mu Yunjin's soft couch, Chu Li looked at Mu Yunjin who was buried under the blanket, stretched out his hand, and gently put it on Mu Yunjin's forehead.
As if feeling the sudden coldness coming from her forehead, Mu Yunjin, who was burning hot all over, felt a burst of comfort for no reason, and couldn't help stretching out her hand, holding the source of the coldness tightly.
Chu Li was about to stretch out his hand back, but suddenly Mu Yunjin stretched out his hand and grabbed it tightly, fingers clasped together, Chu Li's eyes were full of mist.
With a "squeak" sound, the door was opened again.
A doctor carrying a medicine box hurried in. After entering the door, he gave a gift to everyone, then walked to the soft couch, looked at the hands of Chu Li and Mu Yunjin, and smiled embarrassingly, "Sixth Prince Your Highness, let the little one take the pulse of the prince and concubine first?"
Chu Li nodded, and gently let go of Mu Yunjin's hand. Mu Yunjin seemed a little reluctant, and moved her fingers a few times.
The doctor immediately took a step forward, covered Mu Yunjin's wrist with a silk handkerchief, and then reached out to touch Mu Yunjin's pulse.
After a while, the doctor gave Chu Li a salute and said, "Prince concubine probably suffered from the wind and cold last night, and now she has a high fever, so I prescribe a few medicines, and after the concubine takes them, the illness will be cured. "
"Then Doctor Wang, follow me and prescribe the medicine first." Nanny Shen said to Doctor Wang.
Doctor Wang nodded, and immediately followed Nanny Shen out.
After Shen Mama left, Zixiang made a basin of water, wrung out the water droplets, and covered Mu Yunjin's forehead, then picked up a towel and wiped the sweat on Mu Yunjin's neck.
"Take good care of her." Chu Li glanced at Mu Yunjin on the soft couch, then looked down at his hands, and then walked out the door.
Zixiang glanced at Chu Li's back, then at Mu Yunjin, and sighed slightly.
…
In the evening, Mu Yunjin's fever finally subsided, and her limbs were still a little weak, so she sat up from the soft couch and leaned against the head of the bed.
"Miss, why are you up?" Zixiang came in with a medicine bowl, and asked in surprise when she saw Mu Yunjin sitting up. Mu Yunjin frowned slightly, and moved her sore shoulders, "It's just jumping into a lake, but to toss me like this, this body is really weak."
"Miss, you are not made of iron. You will inevitably get sick. Drink this medicine first. You have already drank it once during the day. The medicine is very effective." Zixiang brought the medicine over, scooped up a spoonful, and gently blown.
Mu Yunjin glanced at the black bowl of medicine with some distaste, and waved her hand, "Take it, I won't drink it, just sleep and it will be fine."
"That's not okay, the doctor said, you have to drink it for three days in a row, three times a day, miss, you only drank it once at noon, so how can it be okay." Zixiang said, handing the spoon to Mu Yunjin's lips .
Mu Yunjin sighed slightly, lowered her head and opened her lips to take a sip of the medicine. The bitterness of the Chinese herbal medicine filled her mouth, which made her frown even tighter.
At this moment, she misses the pills and capsules of Western medicine very much.
After barely drinking a bowl of medicine, Mu Yunjin couldn't take it anymore. Fortunately, Zixiang had already prepared candied fruit. After eating the candied fruit, the sweet and sour feeling came, which made Mu Yunjin feel much more comfortable.
After Zi Xiang cleaned up the medicine bowl, she sat by the bed and chatted with Mu Yunjin, "Miss, today the emperor rewarded you with many treasures. He said that it was the young lady who acted bravely and encouraged me to reward you."
"The emperor knows?" Mu Yunjin raised an eyebrow.
"That's right, it has almost spread throughout Diehua City, and some people even said that Miss Qin was there at the time, but Miss Qin just watched the child struggling in the water without moving! I didn't expect that the Sixth Prince Concubine, I jumped into the lake to save people." Zixiang smiled and said with some pride.
"I don't know if these rumors are really praising me or hurting me." Mu Yunjin curled her lips and took another candied fruit casually.
Zixiang smiled, "Naturally, I was praising Miss. When I heard that Miss jumped into the lake to save people last night, I was almost terrified. When did Miss learn to swim, why didn't I know?"
"Learned from my elder brother." Mu Yunjin casually made up a reason.
"It turned out to be true. Today, when His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince asked the servant girl, the servant girl was still unable to answer for a while, but after thinking about it, it was the same as what the young lady said, and she also said that the young master taught it." Zixiang said.
Mu Yunjin raised her eyebrows upon hearing this, "Chu Li asked you about this?"
"Yes, just before noon today, when the doctor was treating you, miss, His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince was still standing by and watching, and he didn't know where he went afterwards." Zixiang thought about it and said.
Mu Yunjin pursed her lips, and didn't know what to say for a while, until she heard Zixiang say again, "Before the doctor came, the lady still held the hand of His Highness the Sixth Prince and refused to let go."
"What did you say..." Mu Yunjin was stunned, startled in her heart, and looked sideways at Zixiang.
Zixiang covered her lips and smiled, "The servant girl said that when Miss Today was so confused, she kept holding the sixth prince's hand."
"..."
Mu Yunjin felt a little embarrassed for a moment, bit her lips tightly, and tried hard to recall what happened during the day, but she couldn't remember anything.
"I'm holding Chu Li's hand, what's Chu Li's reaction?" Mu Yunjin asked again, and then subconsciously glanced at her hand.
"His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince didn't say anything, just let the young lady hold it, until the doctor came to check the young lady's pulse, then let go..."
"It's over, it's over, it's over, I don't have the face to see anyone." Mu Yunjin covered her cheeks with her hands, she didn't know why she was sick, but she was still in a predicament at the moment, her cheeks were slightly flushed and hot.
