The water happened to be ready, so Xiao Yinhuan carried the person into the bathroom without saying a word.

He checked the temperature with his hand and found the water was very hot.

"Shen Yinong, you took a cold bath, and I took off your clothes, ok?"

She didn't answer, her eyelashes drooping.

"I helped you bathe?" He pinched her cheek gently, "You wake up and tell me no, call me a beast, okay?"

"As long as you wake up, I will let you wash yourself."

Still no response.

Xiao Yinhuan looked at her face which was no longer flushed but pale, and sighed.

He took off the cloak that was wrapped around her, and then took off her pajamas. He held her in his arms and put her in the bathtub. Then he stood up and went outside to order, "Get two more basins of suitable warm water. I will wash her hair."

So Shen Yinong soaked in the wooden barrel, with her back against the edge of the barrel. Xiao Yinhuan, who had never served anyone before, busily untied her hair, washed her hair, applied perfume, scratched her hair, washed her hair, and rinsed it with water.

This whole process made Xiao Yinhuan exhausted.

If I use force, I'm afraid she'll feel pain; if I don't use force, I'm afraid it won't be clean enough.

It's not easy to rinse it off.

He also had to add hot water to keep the water warm from time to time.

I took great pains to wash her hair and then dried it with a towel.

After fixing her hair, he helped her bathe and wipe her body.

Only when he was rubbing the soap on her body did Xiao Yinhuan feel his ears getting hot and his heart beating.

"Shen Yinong, can you please wake up?" I would be asking for trouble if I gave you a bath.

But she didn't wake up.

"Don't look at anything inappropriate," he warned himself.

"But how can I wash it without looking at it?"

.........

After soaking for half an hour, the light purple on her body finally disappeared, and her whole body was steamed into a light crimson color. He carried her out, wiped her clothes, dried her hair, and covered her with a blanket before letting Ji Jin in.

"Take her pulse again."

Ji Jin went to feel her pulse again, her brows were still twisted like knots.

"Why are you frowning so much?" Xiao Yinhuan was anxious, "What happened to her?"

"Can you stop making noise and disturbing my pulse diagnosis?" Ji Jin glared at him with disdain. "This Miss Shen is in very poor health and has a cold. She is so delicate, why did you let her go to the palace alone and be pushed into the water?"

Xiao Yinhuan was wronged. He had no idea that she would appear in the palace.

"I didn't let her enter the palace alone. I didn't know she was in the palace. Now is not the time to talk about this. Just tell me how she is now. She has been soaking in hot water as you said, so why hasn't she woken up?"

"I know you're anxious, but be quiet now."

Xiao Yinhuan: ………

He had no choice but to sit by the bed, anxiously waiting.

"Her body was soaked in ice water before, which hurt her body." Ji Jin pulled her hand back and did not intend to hide it from him. "Ah Huan, it will be difficult for her to get pregnant in the future."

What Xiao Yinhuan cares about is her current situation and her health, what happened to her and whether she can wake up. He doesn't care whether she can get pregnant.

"Don't talk nonsense, just tell me how she is now?"

"I guess you'll have to hold her while she sleeps tonight. She may not wake up tomorrow. There's no body temperature that's warmer and longer-lasting than a human being's. Even soaking in hot water won't work."

Xiao Yinhuan clenched his fists almost to pieces.

"Why is it so serious? It's only early autumn now. Even if the water in the lake is cold, it's not as freezing as in winter."

"She's been frostbitten before. She's injured. Lin Yu can't soak in cold water, otherwise it's easy to trigger her old illness. It happened today. If she soaks in the water for longer, she'll get cramps and die. Luckily you got there in time."

Ji Jin sighed, "What a pity for this little girl."

"Is it so serious?" Xiao Yinhuan looked worriedly at Shen Yinong, who didn't seem angry at all.

She seemed fine before, how could a soak in water cost her life?

"Cover her with two blankets. If her temperature can be maintained, let her fall asleep. If not, you have to hold her all night."

"Those bastards!" Xiao Yinhuan was furious, "If Shen Yionong doesn't wake up, I will slaughter all nine clans of those bastards!"

Seeing that he was yelling so loudly, Ji Jin hurriedly asked him to speak softly, "Control your emotions. Miss Shen injected you with a potion and I don't know if your cold wolf poison will work again. Let her sleep for a while."

Xiao Yinhuan quickly fell silent.

He followed Ji Jin out, "Can her body be adjusted?"

"Disaster."

"Then don't let her know that she can't get pregnant. She will definitely be sad if she knows."

It was the first time that Ji Jin saw him care so much about someone. He nodded, but reminded him, "Ah Huan, Miss Shen is very likely unable to get pregnant. If you have a bigger plan, she may not be suitable."

"Whether it's suitable or not is up to me. As long as she is alive and well and stays by my side, that's enough. I don't want children. They're so annoying."

"But you..."

Ji Jin wanted to say that if you want to be the emperor, you can't just give up having children. The ministers' constant urging can drive people crazy.

"Don't say anything. I, Xiao Yinhuan, will only want her as a woman in this life. You better keep your mouth shut and don't let her know that she can't get pregnant."

Xiao Yinhuan's clothes got wet because he was bathing Shen Yinong, so he also took a shower and changed into dry clothes. Fu Ya said the soup was ready.

"Bring it in."

Xiao Yinhuan entered the room and said, "Put it on the table by the window."

After putting the rabble down, he walked out.

Xiao Yinhuan went to the bedside and saw Shen Yinong still lying there, breathing lightly. Even with two quilts covering her, her hands and feet were still cold.

His brows furrowed even deeper, and he went to the window to blow the minced meat porridge to the right temperature, then he brought the bowl to the bedside and hugged the person, "Shen Yinong, I don't know when you arrived in Jin State, and I don't know why you didn't come to see me. Did you have dinner in the palace? Since you couldn't wake up, I had to ask the kitchen to make some meat porridge for you. You should have some."

He scooped the porridge into a spoon and fed it to her little by little.

Maybe she was really hungry, anyway I only fed her half a bowl.

After that, he sat by the bed and kept watch.

She was just covered with two quilts but she kept complaining about the cold. When he reached out for her hand again, she held it and muttered in her dream, "Xiao Yinhuan, I'm so cold."

The voice was too quiet for Xiao Yinhuan to hear clearly, "Nong Nong, what did you say?"

"Don't leave me."

Unable to bear her pleading tone and pitiful appearance, Xiao Yinhuan hummed, "I will never abandon you. I will never abandon you."

But she was still cold.

It was midnight and there was no sign of warming up. Xiao Yinhuan leaned over and asked her, "Shen Yinong, I want to hold you in my arms as you sleep? Can you wake up and tell me that you don't want to?"

"Hmm?" He pinched her cheek again.

"I was afraid you wouldn't wake up." He said very gently, "As long as you wake up now, I promise I won't enter your room again."

The room was quiet.

Xiao Yinhuan sighed and unbuttoned his jade buttons.

"I hope you can wake up tomorrow. I will bear it even if you scold me or beat me."
