I heard from the empress that when she fainted, he hugged her twice, but they were both in coma and she couldn't feel it.
But right now, she is awake.
She was really embarrassed and not used to being held so closely by a man.
Moreover, the person holding her was Lu Tingchen.
Seeing her wary look, Lu Tingchen's handsome face flashed with impatience.
In a few steps, he carried her to the chair next to the table and sat down.
Chujiu looked at the food in front of him, a little surprised.
It turned out that he just brought her over for dinner...
"Are you thinking too much?" Lu Tingchen stood at the table and did not leave immediately. He curled his slender knuckles and tapped on the table.
Chujiu looked up at him, feeling a little embarrassed, "I..."
"As I said, no matter how hungry I am, I will never pick someone like you."
Before Chu Jiu could finish her words, Lu Tingchen interrupted her somewhat rudely.
When Chujiu heard this, a light blush appeared on her pale face due to embarrassment and shame. She bit her lip and lowered her head, saying nothing and having no way to refute.
Because Lu Tingchen was born as a proud man with a noble status, and now he has made meritorious service and been promoted to general, not to mention that he is still the uncle of the country.
With such a prominent status, indeed, he could have any kind of woman he wanted, and there was no need to attack a woman who was sick, wilted, and not very pretty.
She was overthinking it.
After Lu Tingchen finished speaking, he turned around and walked out without waiting any longer.
What I was thinking was that this woman was cuter when she was still in a coma.
The next day, Lu Tingchen didn't come over again, but Ling Lihua came over to check her pulse.
"Madam, I feel that my health is much better." Chujiu looked at her eagerly.
How could Ling Lihua not know what she was thinking
He took back his hand and looked at her with a smile, "When Weiwei left, we left you in our care. Therefore, we can't let you go back to Beijing before your body fully recovers."
"But I have nothing left..." Chujiu said eagerly. She doesn't like this feeling of being idle, it makes her feel very uneasy. Ever since she became sensible, she has either been busy with life or doing various tasks. Later, she was assigned to protect the empress. She also worked hard and never dared to slack off.
Moreover, her health has always been very good, and she has never been so weak as she is now.
This illness left her unable to do anything but lie in the tent all day long, which made her very uncomfortable and frustrated.
Ling Lihua clapped her hand and softened her voice, "I am a doctor, you have to listen to me. You are still very weak now. If you rush on the road at this time, I am afraid you will still faint like last night. By then. Sometimes, if you faint on the road, you will be in danger."
"No..." Chujiu still wanted to insist.
Ling Lihua interrupted her, "Chujiu, do you know why your fever turned into such a serious condition now?"
Chujiu looked at her unclearly.
"Because you worry too much and don't cooperate with your health, no matter how good the medicine is, it's useless." Ling Lihua sighed, then looked at her thin and haggard face, and said softly, "I heard Weiwei say that this year you You are only twenty years old, the same age as our Achen. You are actually not very old yet. Why do you look so worried? Listen to me, relax and don’t think about anything, so that your illness can be cured. Hurry up and you can return to Beijing as soon as possible."
Her voice was so gentle and her expression was very caring, which suddenly reminded Chujiu of his mother who had passed away long ago.
Her nose was slightly sore and her eyes were a little red.
