When Old Master Zhou heard that wine could relieve heat, he asked anxiously, "Where is the wine? Bring it here quickly."

Mo Xinzhi quickly said, "It's in the manor. I'll get it right away."

Mrs. Wang also changed her clothes and was about to ride into the city. Old Master Zhou said, "My niece-in-law, please come back and fetch Dazhi's eldest sister. We need to ask her about the wine."

Mrs. Wang nodded, and she took two people, a man and a woman, and rushed to the capital.

Wang Jingye was shocked when he heard this. He hurried to the palace to invite an imperial physician and asked his followers to drive a carriage to take him to the farm outside the city as soon as possible.

Mrs. Wang went to the He family in person. Mo Chenxi put on his cloak without saying a word and wanted to go with Mrs. Wang.

She couldn't ride a horse, and the He family's carriage was not there, so Mrs. Wang said, "Mrs. He, how about I take you there on horseback? Just hold on to me. I'm a pretty good rider."

Mo Chenxi nodded. Actually, she was a little scared because she had never ridden a horse before.

Seeing her expression, Mrs. Wang asked for a long rope, and after Mrs. He got on the horse, they tied themselves together.

She also told the two people following her to follow closely.

Mo Chenxi was sitting behind Mrs. Wang, and the bumpy ride was so intense that her internal organs were about to shift.

Whoever said horse riding was cool, she wanted to throw up.

When they arrived at the place, she felt dizzy and had to be carried down by someone.

A strong maid carried her in, and she felt the bumpy ride again, so she vomited as soon as she was put down.

She said shyly, "This is my first time riding a horse."

No one cared about this at the moment, and Mrs. Wang helped her in.

When Mo Chenxi saw that his eldest brother's father-in-law, Old Master Zhou, was also there, he didn't bother to greet him and asked directly, "How is it now?"

Old Master Zhou said, "The imperial physician has written a prescription and is brewing the medicine. Dazhi couldn't explain it clearly, so he didn't dare use the wine. Mr. Nie's brother-in-law was burning all over and kept talking nonsense. Now he can't talk nonsense anymore."

Mo Chenxi took off his cloak and said to Xiao, whose eyes were red and she was biting her lips tightly, "Quick, bring a basin of warm water. Bring a few more basins and prepare some cotton towels."

She then said to Old Master Zhou, "Uncle Zhou, please help me later."

Old Master Zhou said, "Just tell me what you have to say."

Mo Chenxi said to Mrs. Wang, "The room is too hot. Remove the brazier and prepare some warm water to drink."

Seeing that she was not panicking and gave orders in an orderly manner, Mrs. Wang felt relieved and quickly asked someone to move a brazier out.

Shang also went out to prepare warm water.

"Don't have too many people in the room, Dazhi. Go back and get a few more bottles of alcohol. When you come back, make rice porridge that's as oily as porridge."

Everything was ready. Mo Chenxi mixed alcohol and warm water in a 1:1 ratio and said to Old Master Zhou, "Uncle Zhou, wet a cotton pad in the basin and wipe from top to bottom, neck, armpits, and thighs. Don't use too much force. Change the cotton pad after each wipe. Don't wipe the wound area."

Old Master Zhou began to wipe it, and Mo Chenxi moved away, not wanting to get too close to see the man's naked body.

Xiao brought in some warm water. Nie Chengping held Xiao Xiangming up with one hand and fed him with the other, but he couldn't get the water in at all.

In a hurry, Nie Chengping took a sip of water and fed the baby mouth to mouth.

The medicine was ready, and Nie Chengping did the same, feeding it in little by little. The imperial physician said that it could not be forced down the throat, as it would cause choking.

Old Master Zhou was so busy that he was sweating profusely. Nie Cheng'an stepped forward to replace him, and Xiao Xiangming's whole body was red.

"It doesn't feel as hot as before. How did you know this method?"

Old Master Zhou asked Mo Chenxi, and then quickly said, "I'm just asking casually, you don't have to tell me."

Everyone has a secret recipe, so it’s not a good idea to ask about it.

Mo Chenxi couldn't say that this was her first time working with alcohol and her first time experimenting on humans. Nowadays, people get injections or take medicine to treat fever, but she had also seen alcohol used to reduce fever on the Internet.

It was not known whether it was the imperial physician's prescription that worked, or Mo Chenxi's alcohol fever-reducing agent that worked, but Xiao Xiangming's temperature gradually cooled down, and his face wasn't as red anymore.

Xiao collapsed and Nie Chengping hugged her.

Shang hurriedly supported Xiao, "Brother, I'll help my sister-in-law go get Dr. An to see her. She hasn't eaten, drunk, or slept all day."

Mrs. Wang was chanting Buddhist scriptures outside.

Wang Jingye was so anxious that he was at a loss as to what to do. His great-uncle was about to go to Beijing, and Xiao Xiangming was in trouble again. He asked the imperial physician to come out and hurried to the outside of the city to welcome him.

Standing at Liuliting, he looked towards the distant direction of Beijing, and then towards the village outside the city, feeling anxious.

A fast horse came galloping over. It was Zhuangzi's man, who said that Xiao Xiangming's fever had subsided. Wang Jingye breathed a sigh of relief.

At this moment, several carriages were approaching slowly from a distance. Wang Jingye mounted his horse and approached. After dismounting, he walked to the front carriage, bowed, and said, "Jingye is here to greet my great-uncle."

The curtain of the car was lifted, and an old man with a tired expression but deep eyes was revealed.

"Thank you, nephew."

When Wang Jingye heard the voice, his heart tightened. The voice was cold and his great-uncle looked thinner than when he saw him a few years ago.

In Guanzhong, he only visited his great-uncle once during the Chinese New Year to pay New Year's greetings. His grandfather had passed away, and because of his cousin, the two families did not have any contact on a regular basis.

My great uncle also knew that he was close to my cousin, so every time he saw him, he never said much or asked many questions, and his attitude was always cold.

For some reason, Wang Jingye was very fond of his great-uncle. Sometimes, in order to avoid seeing him, he would find excuses to take his family out during the Chinese New Year.

When he saw his great-uncle at this time, Wang Jingye felt that his cousin looked like his great-uncle, especially her eyes.

It should be said that it is the eyes.

Wang Jingxin rode forward on horseback, side by side with Wang Jingye, with a carriage following behind, and they slowly entered Beijing.

When they arrived at the Wang family residence, Wang Jingye personally helped his great-uncle out of the carriage. Old Master Wang looked at the gate and said, "Did your cousin buy this for you?"

Wang Jingye didn't say yes or deny it, but just said, "Beijing is different from Guanzhong. The house is not big, so my uncle will stay here for now."

Old Master Wang said politely, "I'm sorry to trouble you."

Although the words were polite, the tone was still cold.

Wang Jingye helped his great-uncle inside, turned around and nodded to his eldest and second uncles, and led them into the house.

His branch and his great-uncle's family were separated, otherwise his great-uncle should have lived in the main house.

Wang Jingye’s grandfather was the eldest son. He broke his leg when he was a child, and the position of head of the family fell to his great-uncle.

If it weren't for the fact that his grandfather was less than a year old when he broke his leg, he would have suspected that his grandfather's disability was caused by his great-uncle.

He dared to draw his sword against his own granddaughter, so how could he be polite to his brother?

Wang Jingye took them to the guest room, which had been prepared in advance. Because his wife was not at home, his wife's mother took the female family members to another courtyard.

Wang Jingye helped his great-uncle sit down, greeted him again, and also paid his respects to his eldest uncle Wang Shiwei and second uncle Wang Shibo.

Wang Shiwei was the empress dowager's father. He used to be a military officer in Guanzhong. Later, when his daughter became the empress, he was directly given an idle official position, the kind that received a salary without doing any work.

But he also knew why. His daughter didn't want her family to rise at all and tried her best to suppress them.

Wang Shiwei also didn't want to take advantage of his daughter. He also hated his father for disregarding family affection and for his father's favoritism of a concubine, which led to his mother's death. But he was afraid of his father, and being caught between him and his daughter was too difficult.

Wang Shibo didn't care at all. Whether his niece became the queen or the queen mother, he didn't want to take advantage of it, nor did he want to be used by his father. He just wanted to live a peaceful life.

But he was still brooding over his mother's death, and since then he pretended to be sick for many years just to stay away from his father.
