The two of them were busy finding a way. During the day, Fu Yuheng took care of all the things himself in order not to let her work too hard. However, his injuries had not yet healed, which made Shen Qingwan very worried.
That morning, Shen Qingwan woke up but didn't see any movement from him. She couldn't help but frown. According to her usual habit, he must have come back from outside when she woke up.
Seeing Fu Yuheng still lying on the rocks in the cave, he couldn't help but go over to check on him, but he saw that his face was a little pale, and his eyebrows were tightly furrowed, as if he was in pain.
Shen Qingwan then realized that something was wrong and called him softly, "Fu... Husband?"
The title on his lips suddenly changed. If he was still called the emperor at this moment, he would definitely be unhappy.
The woman's gentle voice rushed into his mind. He was stunned for a moment and responded vaguely, "Hmm..."
Seeing that the situation was not good, Shen Qingwan was worried that there was something wrong with his body. She reached out and touched his forehead, and her eyes were instantly filled with anxiety and pity.
He has a fever!
These past few days he had been the one going into the water to catch fish, climbing trees to pick fruits, and at night she had been sleeping in his arms. His wound had not healed yet, and the fever must have been caused by the inflammation of the wound.
"Are you feeling unwell?" Her voice softened naturally, and she leaned over to whisper in his ear, "I'm sorry, it's all my fault. I can't help you."
The man slowly opened his dark eyes, felt the voice of the woman beside him, raised his eyebrows, "It's not uncomfortable."
Seeing him wake up, Shen Qingwan's eyes were filled with joy, "Your wound may be inflamed. I will stop for a few days and make plans after your injury is healed."
"you… "
"Do you have any objections?" Shen Qingwan raised her eyebrows in a serious manner, blocking the words he was about to say, "You are an injured person, so you must listen to me."
Hearing this, the corners of Fu Yuheng's mouth slowly curled up, his lowered eyes were full of doting, and he stopped arguing and let her go.
Even if he was strong, he couldn't endure the suffering for several consecutive days. His injuries had not healed yet, and he had to run around again. Perhaps it would be a good thing to stop and recuperate.
Seeing that he still had a high fever, Shen Qingwan wanted to go out to get some medicine and pick some fruits to fill his stomach, but he stubbornly held her back.
He interlocked his fingers with hers and closed his eyes, "Just stay and eat with me."
"But you have a fever. If you lie down like this, your life will be in danger!"
She suddenly raised her voice, worry filling every part of her, and she had long forgotten the difference between the ruler and the subject.
He just curled his lips calmly, and his eyes looked a little hazy as he looked at her, "I feel much better because you worry about me."
"You..." Even if she had thousands of complaints, they disappeared at this moment. She glared at him coquettishly. It was such a late hour and he still had the mood to joke!
So she stayed by his side that day, not leaving for even a moment. His high fever remained steady, and he became even more confused in the second half of the night.
Shen Qingwan didn't sleep all night. Seeing him in so much pain, she felt a pang in her heart.
The next day, she quietly left the cave at daybreak. She couldn't just sit there and watch him get seriously injured. Fortunately, this was at the foot of the mountain, so there must be some herbs that could be used. Fortunately, she had heard of herbs that could reduce fever from her father before.
Those herbs were not difficult to find, but it was summer, when there were many insects and snakes. She also had to be careful of poisonous insects so as not to add burden to Fu Yuheng.
She walked in the direction of the stream, not daring to stray too far away in case something unexpected happened to him while she was not around.
It was already early morning when she found the herbs. She looked up at the bright sunshine and smiled. He would be fine.
With the herbs, her heavy and depressed mood improved a lot. If the herbs are effective, Fu Yuheng's fever will go down quickly.
She thought about getting some clean water and her steps became much lighter, but she slipped down a slope without paying attention.
"Ah..." Her body was completely out of control and she couldn't use any strength on her ankle. She had sprained it a few days ago and it hasn't healed yet.
When she came to her senses and sat on the ground, her clothes were covered with leaves and stains, her ankles were more painful, and there were probably a few bruises on her body.
She gritted her teeth. These knives were nothing. After all, she was the descendant of a general. How could she be scared by such a minor injury
He patted the stains off his body and rubbed his ankles. He made sure he felt better before he stood up.
I gritted my teeth and went back. Fu Yuheng still hadn't woken up. I looked inside and found that his fever had gotten worse. If he didn't take the medicine, I was afraid...
When she thought of this, her heart immediately tightened. She quickened the pace of pounding the medicine, raised the fire rack and placed the herbs on it. Fortunately, she picked up a clay pot on the road. While boiling the medicine, she anxiously observed his movements.
When the medicine was finally ready, she hurriedly took it down, but it was so hot that she pinched her ear with her hand. It was really hot.
"Get up and take your medicine." She blew the hot steam from the medicine while speaking to him softly.
But he didn't respond. "Husband? I made some medicine for you. You will be fine after drinking it."
Seeing that he had a high fever and could no longer drink the medicine by himself, she had no choice but to try to feed him, but she couldn't get the medicine down at all, so the medicine was wasted.
"What should I do..." She murmured in annoyance, but saw the corners of his mouth move slightly. He suddenly remembered something and withdrew his gaze unnaturally in an instant, and even his cheeks turned red.
She could only pass on the medicine orally. Although she felt a little shy, the overall situation was at stake...
She took a sip of the medicine, which tasted a bit bitter. She aimed at his thin lips and pressed them against his. Her mind was shaken by his handsome face so close to her, but she didn't know how to open his mouth.
She touched his hot lips and tried to deliver the medicine in her mouth, but failed several times. She thought there might be something wrong with her method.
I had no choice but to... gently open his lips, and this time the medicine passed smoothly.
Her face turned red unconsciously, but she still insisted on finishing the bowl of medicine.
An hour or two after taking the medicine, Fu Yuheng showed signs of improvement. At noon, he finally woke up, "Qingwan..."
"You're awake!" Shen Qingwan went over in surprise. It seemed to be really effective, but when she saw his lips, her face turned red again...
"You fed me the medicine?" He guessed it by looking at the fire, the empty bowl, and the medicine foam next to it.
"Yeah." She lowered her eyelids, as if she was going to bury her face in her chest.
Fu Yuheng suddenly realized something. When he was unconscious just now, he felt two soft things moving on his lips...
"You fed me with... your mouth?" He couldn't help but smile as he stared at her intently.
Shen Qingwan was stunned. She didn't expect that his guess was so accurate. She felt even more ashamed.
"It's a pity that I'm unconscious, otherwise... how about one more time?" He continued to tease, causing the woman in front of him to blush slightly.
