After crossing, I was forced to hold on to my thighs and build a kingdom

"Young Master Zhao has caught a cold and has a high fever. He has been calling you all night." Yu Xing's clear and powerful voice came again.

Jin Chu's enthusiasm was like a bucket of cold water poured on his face, and it disappeared without a trace in an instant.

These days, a severe cold can be fatal, especially for a child as young as Zhao'er!

She no longer cared about tenderness and affection, and pushed away the young man who was rubbing against her body, and said to him sternly: "Su Cheng'an, Zhao'er has a cold and a fever. I have to go back to see him."

Su Cheng'an was also awakened somewhat by the news. He suppressed the heat in his body and said, "I'll go with you!"

"No need. You're still drunk and can't take care of yourself. Just rest in your room. I'll take Yucheng and the others with me. If Zhao'er is okay, I'll be back soon."

Su Cheng'an also knew that he really couldn't help at this moment, so he nodded and said, "Okay, go quickly and come back soon. I'll wait for you at home. If you need anything, just send someone back to call me."

Jin Chu nodded, changed his clothes hurriedly and was about to go out.

Before leaving, she remembered that Su Cheng'an hadn't finished the bowl of hangover soup yet, so she instructed the remaining Yuying and Yuning, "The prince didn't drink the hangover soup. If he feels unwell later and calls for help, you can make another bowl of soup and send it to him."

The two Yudian nodded, and Jinchu took Yucheng and Yuxing out and went straight to the Ye family.

After a cup of tea, the carriage of Prince Dingbei's Mansion stopped in front of Ye's house. Jin Chu jumped off anxiously without waiting for the carriage to stop.

The doorman saw her and hurriedly bowed and opened the door, shouting, "The distinguished guest has arrived!"

Jin Chu left an order, "Find a warm place for the coachman to rest his feet," and then she lifted her skirt and walked quickly towards the room where Zhao'er was.

Yucheng and Yuxing followed closely behind, jogging after their master.

Hearing the noise in the yard, Ye Jinxuan came out.

"Ajin!"

Jin Chu nodded and walked towards him, asking, "How's Zhao'er?"

As she spoke, she had already reached the door. She pushed it open and saw Huanyan sitting beside Zhao'er's bed, tucking in the corner of his quilt.

Jin Chu suppressed his anxiety and ordered the people around him: "Give me a hand warmer!"

When Jin Chu got the hand warmer, she held it in both hands, first warming her slightly cold hands, and then took off her cold outer robe. She walked back and forth several times until the coldness on her body disappeared, then she quickly walked to Zhao'er's bed.

The little boy who usually always has a smile on his face and calls "sister" all the time, now lies there with his eyes closed and a flushed face.

The lips, which should have been soft and moist, became dry and cracked due to the heat, as if they had been burned by fire.

Jin Chu leaned over and clearly felt the abnormal heat from Zhao'er's heavy breathing. He put his hand on his forehead and found it was indeed incredibly hot.

Zhao'er would occasionally murmur in a dream, "Sister, sister."

"Sister is here." Jin Chu held Zhao'er's hand with one hand and stroked his head with the other, coaxing him softly, "Zhao'er, don't worry. Sister is not going anywhere. She will stay here to protect you."

The unconscious child seemed to sense the arrival of his sister, and his breathing gradually stabilized.

Jin Chu turned around and asked, "Have you called a doctor?"

"I have invited him, but he hasn't come yet." Ye Jinxuan looked at Zhao'er, and the faint smile that was usually on his face was gone. "I asked the servants to invite the doctor first. Later, seeing that my younger brother kept calling you, I sent someone to the palace to tell you."

Since we have invited the doctor, he should be on the way now.

Jin Chu suppressed his anxiety and waited for the doctor to arrive.

Huanyan, who was standing beside him, had red eyes and an apologetic expression. "When Zhao'er came home from school tonight, he was in good spirits, but he didn't eat much at dinner. I thought it was because of the snow and the cold weather that affected his appetite, but he started to feel uncomfortable soon after he went to bed. He had a fever and started talking nonsense!"

She turned to Zhao'er, her sleeves covering her falling tears, but the sobbing in her voice could not be hidden: "It's all my fault. I was careless. If I had discovered it earlier, Zhao'er wouldn't be so upset now."

"How can I blame you? It's natural for people to get sick from eating whole grains. Besides, Zhao'er's cold is so severe and urgent. If we don't make it known, not only you and Third Brother, but even if I were here, we wouldn't be able to detect it in time."

Jin Chu patted the guilty girl soothingly and coaxed her gently, "Don't blame yourself. I left Zhao'er with you. You've taken good care of him. This is really an accident. When the doctor comes, Zhao'er will be treated. After a few days of rest, he should be fine!"

"I just hope Zhao'er can recover soon, just like my sister said."

After Jinchu's persuasion, Huanyan gradually stopped crying.

At this moment, Zhao'er on the bed suddenly shrank his body and let out another uncomfortable groan.

Jin Chu's heart skipped a beat. This looked like someone was about to faint and convulse due to a high fever!

"Has the doctor arrived?" she asked anxiously to the door.

"Not yet." Ye Jinxuan said in a deep voice.

Jin Chu turned his gaze to the young boy lying on the bed, gritted his teeth, and made a decision in his heart.

We can't wait any longer! If the fire continues like this, Zhao'er will be in grave danger!

"Yucheng and Yuxing, you two bring a basin of hot water!" The two girls responded and went downstairs. She turned to Ye Jinxuan and asked, "Brother, do you have any white wine?"

Huanyan replied, "Yes, I bought some a few days ago as a backup. I'll go get it now."

When the white wine and hot water were served, Jin Chu personally mixed the white wine into the hot water, and then took a handkerchief to wipe Zhao'er.

First the forehead, both sides of the neck, then the armpits, both sides of the thighs, and the front and back of the knees.

The room was eerily quiet, with only the rustling sound of Jin Chu wiping being heard.

"Sister, will this method work?" Huanyan asked uncertainly.

She had always trusted Jin Chu, but the act of lifting the quilt and wiping it still made her feel worried.

It's so cold today, Zhao'er already has a fever, and his sister is exposing him like this, will it make his cold worse?

"Don't worry, he won't be frozen. It will be over soon!"

As if he could see the worry of Huanyan and the others, Jinchu made the assurance without even raising his head.

After wiping the last part, she stood up with a slight breath and covered Zhao'er with the quilt again.

"This is just a folk remedy I read in a book. Zhao'er has such a high fever. If I don't cool him down quickly, I'm worried it might damage his brain. Instead of doing nothing, I might as well give it a try. It won't cause any serious harm anyway."

Throwing the handkerchief into the basin, Jin Chu sighed secretly. This was all he could do now!

She looked out the door again, her eyes filled with anxiety and anticipation.

She had never expected that the doctor would arrive even later than her!

If she had known this earlier, she would have brought the palace physician here.

Now, even if we go back home to call for help, it will take at least half an hour to go back and forth to look for him. In this time, the doctor on the road should be able to get there even if he has to crawl.

After waiting for about half a cup of tea, Huanyan cried out in surprise, "Sister, Zhao'er's body is no longer hot!"

It seems that this physical cooling is effective!

Jin Chu breathed a sigh of relief and was finally able to calm down and wait for the doctor.

At this moment, footsteps were heard from outside the door. A man in his fifties was half-dragged and half-carried towards this side by two servants in their twenties.

Following closely behind them was a young apprentice carrying a medicine box.

"The doctor is here!" The quick-talking Yu Xing shouted happily.
