After eating and drinking, the two washed and slept.
Tonight, they still maintained a one-foot-wide distance and did not invade each other.
Maybe because of habit, Xiao Xixi was no longer as nervous as before, and soon fell asleep, and there was no more horrible scene of being chased by tigers in the dream.
She slept comfortably until dawn.
Inside the residence of General Chungmu.
Xue Shi struggled to get up.
She has been in a drowsy state since she fell into the water, but when Imperial Physician Duan came yesterday afternoon, he used acupuncture to wake her up and left her with a prescription.
She drank the medicine and slept for a night. She felt refreshed today, so she wanted to get up to see her little daughter.
Xiao Lingfeng quickly stopped her.
"Madam, you are still very weak. Imperial Physician Duan told you to take a good rest. You can't move around. If you have something to do, you can just tell people to do it."
Xue said weakly, "How is Xiaolan?"
Xiao Lingfeng sat on the edge of the bed and put his arms around her, comforting: "Xiao Lan woke up a little later than you, and woke up again in the middle of the night last night. She is still sleeping, and there are nurses and maids next to her, so she will be fine."
Xue shi leaned against him, her eyes red.
"It's all my fault. If I hadn't taken good care of Xiaolan, it wouldn't have caused her to stumble into the river with me."
"Don't think like that, you are Xiaolan's mother. No one in this world cares more about her safety than you. If something like this happens, you are sadder than anyone else. Fortunately, both you and Xiaolan are fine, imperial doctor. It is said that you only need to cultivate for a period of time to recover, you should be careful and take care of your body as soon as possible."
Xue Shi nodded with tears in his eyes: "Yes."
Xiao Lingfeng asked people to bring the soup and medicine, fed her to drink, and then helped her to lie down and covered her with a quilt.
"You have a good rest, I'll go see Xiaolan."
"Um."
Mr. Xue watched Xianggong leave.
She lay quietly on the bed, but couldn't sleep.
The day before yesterday, Duke Huguo's little grandson served a full moon wine, and Mrs. Xue took her little daughter to congratulate him.
There is a stone bridge in the Guogong Mansion. The river under the bridge runs through the entire Guogong Mansion. If you want to enter the backyard, you must cross the bridge.
When the maid who was in charge of leading the way walked across the bridge, nothing happened, but when Mrs. Xue took her little daughter across the bridge, she didn't know what was going on, and suddenly a strong wind blew.
The little Xiao Zhilan was blown back two steps by the wind, slipped and fell straight back!
Xue Shi was so frightened that she hurried to pull her, but she didn't stand still.
The two fell into the river together.
Neither of them could swim, so they could only thrash around in the water.
Even if she was struggling to the death, Xue still wanted to pull the arm of her youngest daughter.
But Xiao Zhilan was entangled in the water plants in the river, and she couldn't break free. She choked a lot of water, and her breathing gradually became difficult.
When the people from the Duke's Mansion rescued them, the Xue family was still a little conscious, and Xiao Zhilan was already unconscious.
Their mother and daughter were lucky to save their lives this time.
Xue Shi still had lingering fears when he remembered how he felt when he fell into the water.
She and her youngest daughter almost drowned.
Xue couldn't help but think of Xiao Xixi's warning to her
"Mother and sister must not cross the bridge these days, remember!"
At that time, Xue only thought that there was something wrong with Xiao Xixi's brain.
She didn't take this to heart at all, and even threw away the amulet that Xiao Xixi gave her.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Xixi's original words actually came true.
