Facts have proved that things are just as Xie Zhaoan expected. Shen Xining stayed in the house all day and didn't find any useful results. It was difficult for her to understand what was written in the medical books. After a few days, her fever didn't subside. Now she was using her brain so much that in the end, Shen Xining fell into a coma.
Upon hearing the news, Xie Zhaoan pushed open the door and strode towards Shen Xining.
Yuewei wanted to stop it.
"Mr. Yue, you can't go. Lord Shen is infected with the plague. Although you have the antidote now, you still have the old illness. If you are infected with the plague, I'm afraid you will die."
"Shen Xining must not die."
Xie Zhaoan looked at Yuewei who was blocking his way, and his voice was sonorous and powerful. It was a warning, but it also represented his attitude.
Yuewei pursed her lips and chose to keep silent. No one could oppose Xie Zhaoan's decision.
Chun Xing was lying beside Shen Xining at this time, almost crying. She couldn't move Shen Xining, and there was no normal person available in the county government office, so she could only let her lie on the ground. If this continued, Shen Xining's fever would become more and more serious. Xie Zhaoan stepped in, picked her up, and said in a cold voice.
"Bring a bucket of ice water."
"The Fourth Prince..."
"What are you still standing there for?"
The man's expression changed from the nonchalant one of the past, and now it was all fierce. Haruyuki nodded quickly and hurried to drain the water.
"Okay, okay, I'll go right away."
Yuewei followed in and handed over the antidote for the plague.
"Mr. Yue, this antidote..."
"Put it away. This antidote is not needed for now."
Still not needed? The person is about to die. Xie Zhaoan cast his eyes on the woman. The woman's face was covered with sticky sweat, her cheeks were abnormally red, and her whole body began to smoke. It was obvious that she was burnt and confused. Xie Zhaoan's eyes were heavy. Her body function was almost at the limit. If she was not treated, I am afraid her life would be in danger.
Xie Zhaoan said in a cold voice.
"Now, do as we have prepared. Leave a copy of the antidote at the magistrate's door with a note saying that this is our test, and let the magistrate decide how the antidote should be used."
Yuewei turned around to do it, and Chunxing had just prepared the ice bucket and hurried to call Xie Zhaoan.
Xie Zhaoan hugged Shen Xining, glanced at Chun Xing, and said in a cold voice.
"You can go out now."
Chun Xing pursed her lips and wanted to say something else, but Xie Zhaoan stared at her.
"Why, you don't trust me?"
As he said this, Xie Zhaoan pretended to put Shen Xining down. Chun Xing gritted her teeth. Judging from their daily interactions, Xie Zhaoan was a good person. He would not take advantage of the young lady's illness to do anything excessive.
The door was closed, and Xie Zhaoan used his white fingers to open the woman's clothes. Her face was rosy and her eyes were closed. As he moved, her waist softened slightly and she leaned back. Although she was not wearing any makeup, her bright red lips were very tempting.
Cough cough cough...
The tip of Xie Zhaoan's nose felt wet and blood started flowing from his nose. He frowned. The woman's clothes fell off, leaving only her inner garment. As the man loosened his grip, her whole body leaned softly against his chest again. The softness of the woman and the hardness of the man formed a sharp contrast. Xie Zhaoan's nose became even wetter.
"Xie Zhaoan..."
The woman's murmur brought his thoughts back to his mind. He tried his best to avoid touching her skin. Xie Zhaoan put the woman into the ice bucket. The ice in the bucket formed a sharp contrast with the heat on her body. Her fingertips shrank and her whole legs were wrapped around the man's waist, unwilling to go down. Xie Zhaoan clearly felt that there was a fire in his body rushing to somewhere. His hand was on the woman's waist and he couldn't help but use a little strength to force the woman to move closer to his waist.
The postures of the two people were too ambiguous. Xie Zhaoan gritted his teeth, hugged her waist, and sat in the ice bucket together.
The cold penetrated deep into his bones, and Xie Zhaoan almost instantly recalled the days in the cold palace when rain dripped from under the eaves and the bed was completely soaked. Such a small child curled up in the hard quilt, and no one responded even though he was almost unconscious due to the fever.
Shen Xining's hands clutched his clothes on his chest, and her whole body was dizzy from the fever. Both of them were immersed in their own thoughts for a long time. After an unknown amount of time, the fever on Shen Xining's body subsided slightly, and she felt much better. She opened her eyes slightly and saw the chest that had been opened by her. The skin was fair and delicate. If it weren't for the tense muscles on it, Shen Xining would have thought this was some other woman.
She was stunned for a moment, then slowly raised her head. Xie Zhaoan's painful look with his eyes closed came into her sight. She also fully felt the ambiguous posture of the two at this moment. Shen Xining leaned back, trying to break free from this ambiguous posture, but because she had no strength, she hit the edge of the wooden barrel behind her. The man's hands were always fixed on her waist. Although his strength was not great, it was unquestionable.
Shen Xining had just left when she was pulled back by the impact of the barrel and the man's big hand. Her lips fell on the man's lips, and Shen Xining screamed. Although the man closed his eyes, he quickly moved his hands up, pressed her head, and pressed her towards him. While she was screaming, the man, although young and inexperienced, attacked her forcefully.
It was unknown how long it had been, but the man's hand had broken through the heavy restraints, and his fingertips touched the delicate skin. Shen Xining was awakened by the cold. She stood up suddenly, slapped him with all her strength, and struggled to walk outside. However, she had no strength left in her body, and she fell to the ground.
Xie Zhaoan suddenly woke up, he stood up, looked at Shen Xining who was lying on the ground in a mess, stunned for a moment, then picked her up without any lust, picked up the clean clothes beside her and gave them to her, motioning her to change into them and rest, then he left without saying a word.
His clothes were half-open, but luckily there was no one outside, so no one saw him like this. He returned to his room, soaking wet. Yuewei was shocked to see a not-so-obvious slap mark on Xie Zhaoan's face, and his lips were swollen. This was obviously...
Yuewei didn't dare to ask. Xie Zhaoan walked into the house like a wandering soul. When he was about to close the door, he suddenly turned around and looked at Yuewei.
"If I fell into ice water before, how did I wake up?"
"Mr. Yue, you will be in a coma for a few days, and you will only wake up after acupuncture from a specialized doctor in the Yueying Guard."
