The fool has become a spirit, and she can speak

Two little maids stood by the bed with a look of helplessness on their faces. One was fanning Ge Dongqing, and the other was holding a medicine bowl waiting for Ge Dongqing to take the medicine. However, it was obvious from Ge Dongqing's face that he had no intention of taking the medicine.

When the maid Lian'er saw Lu Siniang come in, she immediately pouted and complained, "Madam, I've asked someone to heat up the medicine three times, but the master won't drink a single sip."

Of course, Lu Siniang didn't care about Ge Dongqing's life or death. She would feel better only if Ge Dongqing died. Her anger had reached its peak in the past few days. She was angry that the emperor was partial and let Ge Dongqing off the hook when beating him. She wished Ge Dongqing would die under the big board!

Unfortunately, he did not get what he wanted. The emperor did not fulfill his wish, and God did not fulfill his wish. It would be better for this man not to die or become disabled than for him to moan in bed. Now what is going on? Ge Dongqing groans all day long, eating and defecating on the kang, and looks like he can't take care of himself, which makes her very disgusted.

Hearing Lu Siniang's voice, Ge Dongqing instinctively closed his mouth and eyes. The whip from Lu Siniang was more painful than a big board. The resistance, struggle and fear of Lu Siniang in his heart increased day by day. The way Lu Siniang whipped him this time was different from the past. Every whip was stained with blood, and every whip opened his skin and flesh, without mercy. He thought Lu Siniang must have wanted to kill him.

What Ge Dongqing didn't know was that Lu Siniang didn't beat him to death. If Lu Siniang really wanted to beat him to death, there would be no need to waste her energy whipping him several times.

Lu Siniang was once the wife of a bandit gang, frequenting bandit dens. Her whipping ruthlessness was unimaginable to Ge Dongqing. It was said that a single blow from Lu Siniang could kill a wild, unruly horse. Could Ge Dongqing even have a horse that could withstand such a beating? The answer was, of course, no. If Lu Siniang had wanted him dead at three o'clock in the morning, he wouldn't have survived until five. He was only able to survive the attack on Lu Siniang thanks to his status as the emperor's sworn brother, a protective amulet; otherwise, he would have been dead long ago.

Lu Siniang looked at the bowl of medicine in Lian'er's hand and said coldly, "If you don't drink the medicine, it means your master is almost fully recovered. If you don't want to drink it, then don't drink it."

Lian'er waited here day in and day out, she had had enough of it. She wasn't afraid of hardship or fatigue, but she couldn't stand Ge Dongqing's groaning, which was like a death sentence. Regardless of whether this person was sick or not, since the imperial physician had prescribed medicine, it proved that this medicine needed to be taken. If he didn't take it, how long would this person groan? The people who served Ge Dongqing were all hoping that he would recover.

Lian'er said with a bitter face, "But Madam, the master groans day and night. When will the groaning stop if he doesn't take medicine?"

Lu Si Niang snorted softly. This man's illness was easy to cure, just sew his mouth shut. But how could she say such words? She said to Lian Er, "If you want the master to take medicine, it's not difficult. Go call two servants."

"Madam, why are you calling the servant?"

"Give the master some medicine. You are right. The master is sick and groaning day and night. How can he get better without medicine?" Lu Siniang said it in a lukewarm and indifferent tone.

"Oh oh..." Lian'er hurriedly put down the bowl. She had wanted to do this for a long time, but without the mistress's permission, the maids didn't dare to force the master to drink the medicine. "Lian'er, go get someone to help."

Hearing this, Ge Dongqing turned over and sat up, not even looking at the other people in the room, and said unhappily, "Bring the medicine."

Yuhua and Shang Xi stood side by side. She nudged Shang Xi with her elbow and said, "How can he stand up so easily after turning over? How can he look like a patient? Could this person be..."

Shang Xi suddenly bumped Yuhua with her elbow, and Yuhua swallowed the rest of her words in pain.

Shang Xi doesn't care whether he is pretending to be sick or crazy. If he goes too far, someone will naturally deal with him.

By this time, Ge Dongqing had already noticed the two of them. The atmosphere was so awkward that Shang Xi gave a stiff, awkward smile before speaking with a stiff face, "Uncle Ge, how are you feeling lately?"

Ge Dongqing held the medicine bowl in one hand and coughed sharply with the other. The medicine in the bowl overflowed along the edge of the bowl, at least half of the bowl was spilled out.

The two maids were quick-witted and quick-handed. One of them snatched the bowl from the master and wiped it on the bedding with her hands, while the other one patted Ge Dongqing's back with ease to relieve his cough.

Lian Er patted Ge Dongqing on the back and said, "Master, you haven't even taken a sip of this medicine yet, and you're already choking."

Yuhua whispered, "This isn't choking at all, it's just a cough. Shang Xi, where did you say the cough was caused? The lungs or the bronchi?"

Shang Xi shook her head. Ge Dongqing's cough was not caused by a problem with his lungs or bronchi. It was the appearance of her and Yuhua that disturbed Ge Dongqing. This person wanted to use coughing to cover up the embarrassment, but he, Ge Dongqing, was the only one who was embarrassed in this room.

After a long while, Ge Dongqing acted out his fake role and coughed until his face turned red and his neck became thick before he finally stopped. Then, Lian'er helped him lie back on the bed weakly. Ge Dongqing, who had just sat up full of energy, now lay back on the bed with a thread of gas. It would be a pity if he didn't become an actor with such talent.

Then Lian'er fed Ge Dongqing more than half a bowl of medicine soup spoonful by spoonful. This guy really knew how to waste things. Let's not worry about the fact that he spilled some of the medicine soup that had been heated three times. What's the matter with him losing most of it after taking a sip? He had fed him half a bowl of medicine, but he didn't even drink one-third of it. Instead, Lian'er had to dirty three handkerchiefs before she could feed him the medicine. After doing all this, Lian'er was sweating profusely as if relieved.

Shang Xi and Yuhua, who were standing by and watching, also broke out in a sweat for no apparent reason. Yuhua fanned herself with a handkerchief and whispered, "This medicine is so hard to drink. He spits out half of it after every sip. He must be drinking precious herbs. This guy really wastes things."

Yuhua was used to being meticulous and couldn't stand seeing things being wasted. Shang Xi was no different. But how could they, a visitor to the sick, get involved in other people's affairs? Shang Xi forced a smile and approached to ask about his well-being in a gentle voice, "Uncle Ge, you look very unwell. Do you want to go to the Imperial Hospital and ask the imperial physician to come and take your pulse?"

Ge Dongqing waved his hand weakly, "No need, you'll be fine after a little rest. It's a pity that I'm an official in the court... cough cough cough... I can't help the emperor with his worries and difficulties... cough cough cough..."

Ge Dongqing was not sick at all. He was clearly too embarrassed to face the emperor and was hiding at home. But he would have to face the emperor sooner or later. He could avoid the emperor for a while, but he couldn't avoid the emperor for another day, unless he resigned.

"Uncle Ge, please get better soon. Everyone is thinking about you. I brought you some nourishing and conditioning herbs, which will be very beneficial to your health."
