Gao Chi and Ying Si moved aside, and Jing Xue saw that Ye Muchen's hair was wrapped in a cloth, and he was wearing a gray undergarment. His clothes were already soaked through, and he was wearing Ying Si's clothes at the moment.

"Xue'er, it's good that you're awake!" Ye Muchen frowned, clearly forcing himself to stay awake.

"Yes! I'm fine now. Gao Chi, Ying Si, you can both go and rest. I'll take care of things here, Your Highness."

Gao Chi didn't want to leave, but Ying Si pulled him away.

Jingxue took out a thermometer from the medicine box. It read 39.4 degrees Celsius. This guy is in good physical condition. Someone weaker would probably have gone into shock.

I knew he definitely had a fever, but I needed to take his exact temperature to decide whether to give him medicine or an injection.

Seeing that Ye Muchen's lips were a little pale and his complexion was not good, Jingxue said softly, "Shall I give you an injection to bring down your fever?"

Ye Muchen looked a little listless and unconsciously shrank deeper into the blankets. "No need! If you have any pills, just give me one. I'll be fine after a good night's sleep."

"I'm a doctor, listen to me!" Jingxue ignored him and started taking medicine out of the medicine box. It would be faster to just put him on an IV drip; Ye Muchen clearly needed to rehydrate.

After preparing the medicine, Jingxue gave him an acupuncture, adjusted the speed, and found a place to hang the bottle.

At this moment, Shadow Five announced from outside that a charcoal brazier would be brought in.

Jingxue opened the door. "Put it down. You should go and rest too! You've been up all night."

"Miss, it's alright. Just call us if you need anything."

"Okay! Go to sleep!"

Ying Wu closed the door and left. Jing Xue sat down by Ye Muchen's bedside. The guy had his eyes closed and his brows were furrowed so deeply they could trap a fly. He seemed extremely uncomfortable.

About half an hour later, Ye Muchen's forehead was covered in sweat, and he unconsciously pulled his arm out of the blanket.

Jingxue used a dry cloth to wipe his sweat, and removed the IV drip after the medicine finished dripping.

They also took off the cloth covering his head. His hair was still damp; no wonder he caught a cold!

Just then, Ye Muchen turned over and lay on his side, so Jingxue took out a low-powered hair dryer and dried his hair.

The two charcoal braziers in the room were a bit hot, so Jingxue took one of them to the kitchen and cooked a pot of millet porridge for Ye Muchen.

By the time she brought the porridge back to Ye Muchen's room, the sun was already out.

Fearing he might be thirsty when he woke up, Jingxue boiled another pot of water on the charcoal brazier.

Ye Muchen slept very soundly, but he was covered in sweat. When he woke up, he felt sticky all over.

Jingxue was sitting in a chair, staring blankly out the window. Her long, black hair cascaded down her shoulders like a waterfall, and her profile was like a beautiful painting.

"Xue'er!" Ye Muchen's voice was completely hoarse.

Hearing his voice, Jingxue turned her head and smiled warmly, "You're awake? How are you? Is anything bothering you?"

"Much better! Thank you! I'm a little thirsty!"

Jingxue immediately stood up, took a cup, poured some warm water, and walked to Ye Muchen's bedside.

Ye Muchen sat up, took the cup, and gulped it down in one go.

Jingxue watched his Adam's apple bob as he swallowed, and his chest that was inadvertently exposed. For some reason, she felt a certain thought forming in her mind.

"I'd like to have another drink!" Ye Muchen said.

"Okay! It's good to drink more water." Jingxue turned around and poured him another glass of water.

After finishing her water, Jingxue picked up the undergarment next to the charcoal brazier and said, "Your clothes are dry, why don't you change them first? I'm going out."

"Don't rush! Xue'er, don't be angry with Father and the others about what happened last night," Ye Muchen said, taking the clothes from him.

Jingxue sneered, "Is there something wrong with your father?"

Ye Muchen looked dejected and lowered his eyes as he said, "It's all my fault back then... If we were truly husband and wife, perhaps none of this would have happened. Father was also afraid that you would leave."

Jingxue remained silent. If the original owner and Ye Muchen had lived happily together, perhaps the original owner wouldn't have died tragically, and she herself wouldn't have transmigrated.

Unfortunately, there are no "what ifs" anymore!

"How could I possibly take you while you were unconscious! I cannot do it."

For some reason, upon hearing Ye Muchen's last words, Jingxue was reminded of the popular internet phrase, "I can't do it!"

What should you do if she wants to laugh at this moment?

She bit her lower lip and looked out the window.

Ye Muchen spoke as if to Jingxue, but also as if to himself, "Xue'er, we hadn't even met before our wedding. I had no idea you were like this before, or that you've become a completely different person!"

Jingxue turned to look at Ye Muchen. "If I said I'm no longer the Jingxue I used to be, what would you think?"

Ye Muchen didn't look up, gave a bitter smile, and his voice seemed to drift away, "What can I think? You must be a fairy descended from heaven! With so many amazing skills, I should have guessed it long ago, but you are a kind fairy, won't you go back one day?"

Jingxue rolled her eyes. "I do want to go back, but this wretched place was arranged for me by the King of Hell. I can't go back!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Muchen suddenly raised his head. "Xue'er, will you leave me, leave the capital?"

Since the topic has come up, Jingxue no longer wants to hide anything. "Ye Muchen, I really don't want to stay here. I want to go to a free and easy place where there are no classes, everyone is equal, and I can live a simple and happy life."

Ye Muchen's gaze dimmed again. "Where in this world is there such a place? It's already difficult enough for people to live and work in peace without war."

"This is not something one person can do; it may require the combined efforts of several generations!"

After Jingxue finished speaking, she looked at Ye Muchen and said, "But no matter what, I still want to thank you for last night. You are a very rare and kind person."

As a doctor, she knew what men were like, and that Ye Muchen's willpower was very strong in that situation.

Ye Muchen didn't speak. Actually, it wasn't that he didn't want to; he had struggled with himself many times, but in the end, he probably controlled himself because he cared too much.

"Xue'er, you said we could get along peacefully, so has your opinion of me changed at all during this time?"

Jingxue thought for a moment and nodded, saying, "Of course, you are upright, responsible, and know how to respect people. And, and..."

Ye Muchen looked at Jingxue expectantly.

"And she's also very good to me!"

"I will treat you well for the rest of my life!" Ye Muchen was practically raising his hand to swear an oath.

Jingxue waved her hand, "No, don't say these things. You don't need to promise me anything. You can change your mind at any time. I'm someone who can take things in stride."

"Xue'er, can we continue our relationship? If you still can't give me your heart, I can wait, I'll wait as long as it takes!" Ye Muchen's attitude was earnest.

"me……"

"Bang, bang!" The sound of knocking on the courtyard gate came from outside.

"I'm going out to take a look!" Jingxue didn't know how to answer, so she just said it and walked out.

"I'll go with you!" Ye Muchen got out of bed, put on some clothes, and followed him out.

"What is it?" Jingxue asked as she opened the door.

The imperial guards outside shouted, "Reporting to Princess Consort Zhan, Prince Qin sent word that the greenhouses in Dashan Village caught fire last night, destroying one greenhouse. He has already led his men there."
