Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Green Pearl said softly, “Miss, isn’t the Eldest Princess a little too much? This is still the General’s Manor.”
Bai Xianyu dismissed the guard and led her to the front hall. She lowered her voice and said, “Don’t say such things in the future. She’s the Emperor’s biological sister after all. She’s the only daughter of the late Emperor and the late Empress. The entire Great Kui belongs to the Li family, not to mention a general’s residence.”
Green Pearl pursed her lips.”… I know my mistake.”
When they arrived at the front hall, Eldest Princess Jing An was indeed standing in the middle, pacing back and forth, looking very anxious.
“Greetings, Your Highness…” Bai Xianyu bowed.
Eldest Princess Jing An turned around and saw Bai Xianyu. Without a word, she pulled her arm and walked out. “Come with me to the Marquis Manor!”
Bai Xianyu’s footsteps were still a little unsteady; she could not resist her. “Why do you want to go to the Marquis Manor? Your Highness, please make yourself clear.”
Eldest Princess Jing An still remembered what Xie Xingyun told her at that time, but this was a special situation now. Bai Xianyu did not feel sorry for her son, but she did!
“Yun’er has a high fever because of you. When he was unconscious, he kept calling your name. Shouldn’t you go and see him?”
As she spoke, Bai Xianyu actually saw the usually unyielding Eldest Princess Jing An’s eyes turn red. She held back the surprise in her heart. “Young Marquis has a high fever because of me. Where did this come from?”
Eldest Princess Jing An said, “i don’t know if you’re really stupid or if you’re pretending to be stupid. I’ve already asked around. Yesterday, in order to fish out a jade pendant for you, Yun’er soaked in the water of the Li River for eight to nine hours and only found it at dusk. Now that it’s cold in spring, you know how to hug an earthenware hot-water bottle when you come out to see me. He has been having a high fever since he came back. No matter how much you don’t like Yun’er, you don’t have to make things difficult for him, right?”
Bai Xianyu’s heart trembled. “Was he the one who fished out the jade pendant for me? But Xie Xingyun said that the Court of Judicial Review was going to fish out things from the river again yesterday. 1 thought…”
Eldest Princess Jing An interrupted her. “I don’t care what you think. Anyway, Yun’er’s fever won’t subside. You have to watch over him until it subsides.”
Bai Xianyu pondered for a few seconds and was pulled into the carriage by Eldest Princess Jing An.
Green Pearl hurriedly chased after her. “Miss!”
Bai Xianyu’s hand was held by Eldest Princess Jing An. She lifted the curtain with her other hand and said, “It’s fine. I’ll be back soon.”
At the Northern Garrison Marquis Manor.
Xiao Zheng had just come out after receiving 50 strokes of the board when he saw Bai Xianyu and Eldest Princess Jing An walk in together.
He hissed and hurried over to take a look.
Bai Xianyu’s arm was held by Eldest Princess Jing An all the way. It looked like the two of them were taking a walk together. Some servants were puzzled as to when Fifth Miss Bai had such a good relationship with the Eldest Princess.
In reality, the girl’s arm had been held. Even though Bai Xianyu said that she would not run, Eldest Princess Jing An was still worried.
When the two of them arrived at the courtyard, there were very few people left in Xie Xingyun’s courtyard. Before Bai Xianyu came, Guo Ying had only arranged for two servants who had signed a death contract to serve them. This way, they would be tight-lipped and no one would dare to spout nonsense.
Eldest Princess Jing An saw that Bai Xianyu’s attitude along the way was quite good, and her tone was a little better, but there was still some anxiety. “Yun’er hasn’t even taken a sip of the medicine the imperial doctor prescribed for him last night. No one was able to feed him. See if you could feed him the medicine.”
Bai Xianyu had heard her say this countless times along the way, so she nodded. “Got it, Your Highness.”
Eldest Princess Jing An watched her push the door open and enter. Suddenly, she had a very subtle feeling in her heart.
“Guo Ying, don’t you think Bai Xianyu is a little too relaxed when facing me?”
Guo Ying nodded. “She’s very relaxed, confident, and elegant.”
Eldest Princess Jing An had always thought that Bai Xianyu was arrogant and vengeful, but the first time they met, her opinion of her changed a little. Although the threat had come from her, Bai Xianyu’s neither servile nor overbearing attitude did have some of the boldness of a general’s daughter.
Seeing her today, she could face her without blushing or being afraid.
It had to be known that whenever other noble ladies saw her, they would either tremble in fear or flatter her too much. To be so relaxed yet proper, Eldest Princess Jing An asked herself, there could only be Bai Xianyu.
“This delicate daughter is better after all. She has seen the world.”
Eldest Princess Jing An even thought that Bai Xianyu could be Yun’er’s first wife. Since Yun’er liked her so much, she might have a grandson or granddaughter in less than two years.
She instantly perked up and vaguely treated Bai Xianyu as her daughter-in-law. “Guo Ying, Bai Xianyu also caught a cold earlier, right? Get someone to add more charcoal fire to the house.”
“Yes, Your Highness.”
Bai Xianyu closed the door and slowly walked into the inner room.
On the red sandalwood bed, the man’s eyes were closed, and the space between his eyebrows had not relaxed even in his sleep. There was a thin layer of sweat on his forehead, and his face was resolute and handsome. Even though he was sick, the coldness on his body did not subside at all.
Bai Xianyu rarely saw Xie Xingyun fall sick, but it seemed that after his rebirth, he was either injured or sick.
She took a handkerchief from the side and soaked it in hot water. Then, she wrung it out and sat by the bed to wipe his sweat.
As soon as her finger touched his forehead, Bai Xianyu frowned. Xie Xingyun’s forehead was very hot. If it had really been burning all night, it was no wonder Eldest Princess Jing An was so anxious.
She looked at the medicine bowl on the table. The medicine inside looked like it had just been boiled and was still steaming.
Guo Ying came in at this moment, and two people placed two pots of charcoal fire inside.
After they left, she bowed and said, “Miss, there’s no time to lose. See if you could feed Young Master. He even called your name when he was feverish.”
Bai Xianyu had mixed feelings. “Yes.”
She helped Xie Xingyun sit up. She did not know how to make him open his mouth, so she said tentatively, “Xie Xingyun, drink your medicine.”
Guo Ying was also a little anxious. Why would Young Master be willing to drink the medicine after she said that?
He was not conscious and could not hear clearly.
Yesterday, she had opened Young Master’s mouth and fed him, but most of it had spilled out, and the effect was minimal.
Eldest Princess Jing An could not sit still anymore. The moment she entered, both Mistress and her servant were stunned.
Xie Xingyun’s head was leaning on Bai Xianyu’s shoulder. Bai Xianyu scooped a spoonful of medicine and held his handsome face. “Drink your medicine.”
Xie Xingyun frowned and leaned his head against her. His hand slowly grasped her hand that was holding him. As if he had smelled the scent of the person beside him, his brows relaxed and he subconsciously opened his mouth.
A mouthful went down.
Bai Xianyu was puzzled and looked at the two of them. “Isn’t this easy to feed?”
It did not seem to be as serious as they said.
Eldest Princess Jing An,”…”
Guo Ying,”…”
Eldest Princess Jing An smiled bitterly, and her expression finally relaxed a little.
As long as he was willing to drink the medicine, his fever should subside.
It was indeed the right choice to look for Bai Xianyu..
