In the years of famine, I led a comfortable life with my husband

Xie Chengjin paused and said truthfully, "Thank you for your concern, Your Highness, but Zhizhi... like Your Highness, she has caught a cold and is still lying in bed."

"What?" Xu Miao became anxious when he heard that, and looked at Shen Wenjun with a reproachful look, as if blaming Shen Wenjun for hiding it from him.

Shen Wenjun coughed lightly and shifted his gaze. Xu Miao didn't have that much time to argue with Shen Wenjun, so he sat up and stared at Xie Chengjin.

"What's going on with Zhizhi?" Xu Miao asked word by word.

Xie Chengjin glanced at Shen Wenjun with an ambiguous look in his eyes, then turned his gaze to Xu Miao.

He thought for a moment and told Xu Miao everything about Su Zhizhi.

"How could Zhizhi be so seriously ill? What are those doctors doing?" Xu Miao was even more angry, but she quickly calmed down. "Then what can I do for Zhizhi right now?"

Xie Chengjin was waiting for Xu Miao to say this, and told him the purpose of his visit. "I have heard that Your Highness's attending physician is particularly good at treating illnesses like colds. Now, considering Your Highness's condition, I think this physician may be able to treat Zhizhi's illness. If Your Highness is willing, I would like to bring the physician to see Zhizhi."

Xu Miao agreed without hesitation. "Why didn't you say this earlier? Zhizhi saved my life. He's just a doctor, so I still have the final say. Wait a minute, I'll go with you."

After saying that, Xu Miao threw back the quilt and tried to get out of bed, but was stopped by A Lian beside him. "Princess, you haven't fully recovered yet. The doctor said you still need to rest. Even if you want to go see Madam Xie, you have to take care of your own health first."

Shen Wenjun didn't say anything, but Xie Chengjin intervened, "Miss A-Lian is right. Your Highness should take care of yourself."

"It's okay, I've made up my mind. I won't be at ease if I can't see with my own eyes that Zhizhi is safe and sound. Besides, there is a doctor next to her, so it's okay." Xu Miao didn't care much. At Xu Miao's insistence, A Lian still changed Xu Miao's clothes and put on many layers of clothes for her, for fear that Xu Miao would catch a cold again.

Xie Chengjin brought a group of people to the house. Looking at Su Zhizhi lying on the bed, Xu Miao was a little flustered. "Is this what you said is not serious?" She pointed at Su Zhizhi's bloodless face with trembling fingers and questioned Xie Chengjin and Shen Wenjun.

Xie Chengjin pursed his lips and said, "I just want Your Highness not to worry so much. This is my fault. If I were not truly helpless, I would not seek Your Highness's help."

Xu Miao didn't have time to get angry with Xie Chengjin and Shen Wenjun, and hurriedly urged the doctor to treat Su Zhizhi.

Just by looking at Su Zhizhi's face, the doctor knew the seriousness of the matter. He did not dare to delay and quickly took Su Zhizhi's pulse. The doctor's face became more and more ugly. After a long time, the doctor took his hand away and fell into deep thought, not knowing what he was thinking.

Seeing this, Xie Chengjin's heart couldn't help but skip a beat. From the doctor's expression, Xie Chengjin knew that Su Zhizhi's condition must be very bad.

As expected, the doctor looked at Xie Chengjin seriously, "Sir, Madam's condition is extremely critical. Although she's being kept alive by precious medicinal herbs, their properties are too strong. The extreme heat and cold collide within Madam's body, causing her condition to deteriorate."

"Doctor, what should we do now?" Xie Chengjin was extremely anxious and rushed to the doctor without caring about his appearance.

The doctor pondered for a moment and said, "Fortunately, I am not completely helpless. I will make a list later. I hope you will gather the items on the list and I will prepare a prescription for Madam. Madam's cold is very serious, so treatment cannot be rushed. We must proceed slowly."

"Okay, give me the list and I'll send someone to look for it immediately." Xie Chengjin agreed without hesitation.

Xu Miao, who was standing by, also spoke up, "I still have a lot of medicinal herbs sent by my father in my house. If you don't have enough, you can go to my house and get some."

But Xu Miao's worries were completely unnecessary. Xie Chengjin got the list and collected all the items on it in just three hours.

Su Zhizhi was still in a coma. Shen Wenjun and Xie Chengjin went to look for medicinal herbs together, while Xu Miao stayed with Su Zhizhi. She held Su Zhizhi's cold hand, and the worry in her eyes could no longer be suppressed.

When Xie Chengjin and the other two came back, they saw Xu Miao lying next to Su Zhizhi, without any movement.

Seeing this, A-Lian, who had been guarding outside the door, stepped forward quickly, "Princess, Princess, what's wrong with you? Wake up... Doctor! Doctor! The princess has fainted, come and take a look!"

Xie Chengjin and Shen Wenjun exchanged glances, and the doctor quickly stepped forward and stretched out his hand to feel Xu Miao's pulse. After a while, the doctor breathed a sigh of relief, "Miss A Lian, don't worry. His Highness is not fully recovered yet, and it was caused by anger. It's nothing serious. But I'm afraid it's not appropriate for His Highness to stay here. It's better to return to the Princess' Mansion."

Hearing this, everyone present breathed a sigh of relief. Xu Miao finally let Shen Wenjun take him back to the princess's mansion. Although Shen Wenjun was worried about Su Zhizhi, there was no other way.

Xu Miao was in a coma for a day, and Shen Wenjun stayed by his side for the whole day. Fortunately, Xu Miao was not in a coma for long this time. He woke up after just a few hours.

Seeing Xu Miao awake, Shen Wenjun asked, "Your Highness, are you feeling unwell?"

Xu Miao opened his eyes and stared at the ceiling of the bed. After a long time, he realized that Shen Wenjun was beside him.

Xu Miao slowly turned his head and looked at Shen Wenjun with complicated eyes. Now Shen Wenjun's company could no longer make Xu Miao feel excited and happy. Instead, he was slowly becoming tired and confused.

She remembered that at Xie Chengjin's house, she sent A Lian out and stayed with Su Zhizhi. Suddenly, she heard some noise outside the window, so she went to check it out. Next to the window, Xu Miao clearly heard what the people outside were saying.

The two maids were discussing Shen Wenjun. When talking about Shen Wenjun and Su Zhizhi, there was still some disdain in their words. No matter what, Xu Miao still knew about the past of Shen Wenjun and Su Zhizhi from their conversation.

Xu Miao had always been able to sense that Shen Wenjun had someone she liked, but she never imagined that the person Shen Wenjun liked was actually Su Zhizhi.
