Peaceful Farm Life

Chapter 1018: Chapter 1019: Heaven Never Seals Off All Exits!

”Jing Er...” Xiao Changyi, seeing that An Jing’s consciousness was somewhat clouded by the high fever, felt so distressed that he didn’t know what to do.

”Dear,” An Jing moaned in discomfort, ”bring me some more ice, I’m so hot... so hot...”

An Jing was not lying on a bed, but on ice, and yet she still felt hot.

Xiao Changyi’s thin lips pressed together into a straight line. After a long moment, he ordered someone to fill a bathtub with half water and half ice, then he lifted An Jing horizontally and placed her into the bathtub.

The ice water submerged An Jing’s shoulders, and her chin could barely touch the water surface.

If it weren’t for the fact that An Jing hadn’t developed any pustules yet, Xiao Changyi would absolutely not dare to put her in ice water like this.

”Do you feel a bit better?” Xiao Changyi sat by the bathtub and asked softly.

An Jing finally opened her eyes. Her consciousness was clearer, and she felt much better. Turning her head, she gave Xiao Changyi a weak, comforting smile: ”Much better, dear. Don’t worry, I’ll be all right.”

Xiao Changyi pursed his lips and remained silent.

But his well-formed, extremely beautiful hand reached towards An Jing’s face. Feeling that her face was still burning hot, he wrapped crushed ice in cloth and put it on her face to give her more relief.

An Jing wanted to raise her hand to grasp Xiao Changyi’s, but she had no strength. She gave up on trying to lift her hand, instead giving Xiao Changyi another smile, still very weak.

Xiao Changyi felt extremely heartbroken, yet he still said nothing. Instead, he leaned his handsome face close to hers, not at all afraid of contracting the epidemic, and affectionately rubbed his cheek against hers.

An Jing suddenly laughed again, weakly conveying, ”Yun Er likes it the most when we do this, he’s always so happy whenever we rub against him.”

”Mhm.”

”Jing’er, Star, and Qinger, seeing us rub against Yun Er, would also come to us seeking cuddles,” An Jing laughed weakly a few times, ”Our four children, no matter how I think about it, I find them so adorable.”

”Yes, adorable.”

”Will father-in-law take good care of them?”

”Mhm.”

”Then I can rest easy.” As she spoke, An Jing closed her eyes, looking not only weak but also extremely fatigued. ”Dear, I want to sleep for a while.”

”Mhm, you sleep.” Xiao Changyi’s handsome face approached An Jing’s once more, tenderly pressing a kiss onto her forehead.

An Jing fell asleep, reassured.

Xiao Changyi didn’t dare to leave. He sat by the bathtub, one hand holding the cloth wrapped with crushed ice to cool An Jing’s face, and the other supporting An Jing who sat in the bathtub, to prevent her from slipping under the water and drowning from head to toe.

...

Gong Juechen woke up to find that the pustules on his body had deflated significantly, no longer looking as ready to burst with pus as before. He was stunned at first, completely unaware of the reason, but then, he was overjoyed.

Yesterday, he hadn’t eaten anything special, except for the Fulan flower cake his sister had given him.

This meant, it must be the Fulan flower...

Heaven never seals off all exits!

Upon learning that the Fulan flower could cure the epidemic, Gong Juechen was ecstatic. Taking the remaining Fulan flower cake, he headed towards the temporary palace to find Xiao Changyi and An Jing.

However, he was stopped at the entrance to the room where Xiao Changyi and An Jing stayed by Qin Er and Qin San.

”Palace doctor, our master has ordered that no one is allowed to enter,” they said.

Gong Juechen immediately sensed something was wrong: ”What happened?”

Qin Er was silent for a moment before honestly saying: ”Madam has contracted the epidemic.”

Gong Juechen was first taken aback, then smiled and said, ”I won’t go in, but hurry, call your master out. I’ve found a way to treat the epidemic.”
