Chapter 1872: Chapter 1862: Dengdeng Falls Ill

Little Dengdeng stood there crying, feeling aggrieved. This child has been crying a lot recently, and it makes people feel heartbroken just to look at him.

Everyone finally snapped out of their daze and started to comfort Dengdeng.

At this moment, Gao Zhou rushed in, waved at Bai Ruozhu, and said, ”It’s okay, it’s okay, girl, don’t worry too much.”

He walked over, lowered his voice, and continued, ”The evil energy in him has been pent up for a long time and needs to be released. Huang Li deserves a beating; being a manager doesn’t make him great, he needs a spanking.”

Bai Ruozhu’s mouth twitched. Why did she feel like this was a case of the upper beam not being straight leading to a crooked lower beam?

”Just don’t kill Huang Li.” Bai Ruozhu said in a low voice. Although she was displeased with Huang Rou, she was measured in her actions and didn’t want to casually kill people from the Huang Family.

”Don’t worry, Achun is measured. Alright, I’ll go keep an eye on him. You quickly go and comfort my poor grandson, such a pity.” Gao Zhou said with a sigh and then left with big strides.

Bai Ruozhu spent a long time comforting her son. Jiao Ling also brought the mechanical beast for him to play with, and it took a while before they managed to stop Dengdeng from crying.

After Dengdeng went off to play with the mechanical beast, Lin Ping’er and Bai Yihong pulled Bai Ruozhu aside and started questioning her.

”What’s going on with Yichun? He never comes home, and when he does, he just leaves without a word. It’s one thing to be disrespectful to us elders, but it’s a pity for the child.” Lin Ping’er became even more displeased with her son-in-law, ”Is he quarreling with you and throwing a tantrum?”

Bai Ruozhu felt that it wouldn’t do to keep hiding it and had no choice but to tell her parents about how Jiang Yichun was framed and had evil energy attached to him. She only omitted the dangerous matter of the blood sacrifice of a thousand people, fearing it would frighten her parents.

”What? So he can’t come home anymore, poor child.” Bai Yihong said heartbrokenly.

Lin Ping’er also felt a bit awkward, ”So that’s the reason, I wrongly blamed him.”

”He said he was working in the palace, but actually, he’s still hiding in the dark watching over the family’s situation. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have shown up just now. He’s all alone now, but for the safety of the child in my womb and Little Dengdeng, he can only avoid us.” Bai Ruozhu said with a sour heart.

Lin Ping’er and Bai Yihong couldn’t help but sigh, but they understood Jiang Yichun’s actions and felt sorry for him, too.

After dinner, Bai Ruozhu took Little Dengdeng back to the yard to wash up. Little Dengdeng probably cried a lot during the day and went to sleep early.

Unexpectedly, at night, Nanny Zhang suddenly knocked on Bai Ruozhu’s door, ”Madam, the young master has a fever!”

Bai Ruozhu was shocked and hurriedly got dressed and followed Nanny Zhang to Little Dengdeng’s room.

”Did he kick off the covers during the night?” Bai Ruozhu asked.

”No, the young master went to sleep early and seemed very tired, sleeping quite soundly. But I noticed some redness on his face, and when I touched his forehead, it was hot.” Nanny Zhang replied.

Bai Ruozhu’s heart tightened. Could it be because he rushed into his father’s arms today?

”Could it be that he cried too much today, and his body is unwell?” Nanny Zhang asked worriedly.

Bai Ruozhu shook her head, ”Let me check first. Call Min Xiang to get some cold water.”

She then entered the room, touched her son’s forehead, and indeed found it hot, but not to a frightening degree. Based on Bai Ruozhu’s experience, it was likely a little over thirty-eight degrees, close to thirty-nine.

She carefully took her son’s pulse and found he hadn’t caught a cold, nor had any gastrointestinal issues. Upon thinking it over, it probably was the evil energy acting up.

Soon, Min Xiang brought the water. Bai Ruozhu wrung the cloth to physically cool her son down, and then pondered, eventually deciding to have Nanny Zhang and the others wait outside first.

She secretly took Little Dengdeng into the space and soaked with him in the spatial hot spring for a while.

But when she picked Dengdeng up, she found that his condition hadn’t improved. Instead, because of the hot spring water’s heat, his body temperature rose even more.

She hastily used the water from the spatial fish pond to cool his forehead, only then did his temperature revert to what it was before.

Clearly, the spatial hot spring had no effect on dispelling the evil energy attached to Little Dengdeng.

She had no choice but to bring Dengdeng out of the space and spent the entire night by his side, continuously cooling him physically. By morning, Little Dengdeng’s fever had finally subsided a bit.

”Madam, you should get some rest. We will watch over the young master.” Nanny Zhang, seeing Bai Ruozhu’s waist almost unable to straighten, said worriedly.

Bai Ruozhu waved her hand, ”I’ll rest on the soft lounge here. Dengdeng still has a slight fever. If he wakes up, give him some rice porridge, but nothing else.”

When Bai Ruozhu woke up, her parents were already there with Little Dengdeng. His fever had subsided, but he seemed listless, and his little face had become much thinner.

”Children easily lose weight when they fall ill, but which family’s children don’t get sick? Don’t worry too much.” Lin Ping’er, seeing Bai Ruozhu’s poor complexion, comforted her.

”Yes, I’ll adjust things for Dengdeng later and quickly nurse him back to health.” Bai Ruozhu forced a smile. She regretted being clever and taking Dengdeng to the Guest Palace, and regretted suddenly clutching her stomach. If she hadn’t, Achun wouldn’t have rushed over, and Dengdeng wouldn’t have run into his father’s arms.

Ultimately, it was she, as a mother, who was too careless and didn’t take care of her child properly.

Bai Ruozhu patted Little Dengdeng’s head. The child suddenly wasn’t as lively and active as usual, and she really wasn’t used to it.

It took three days for Little Dengdeng to recover some energy. His little chubby face had turned into a sharp chin, making him look more like Ruozhu.

At the Guest Palace, Jiang Yichun had already heard about his son’s illness. He felt even more guilty and tormented than Bai Ruozhu. He wanted to check on his son but dared not get any closer. He wasn’t sure how far away he needed to stay to ensure his son’s safety. What if he got too close and his son got another fever?

By the time his son recovered, a series of blisters had already formed around his mouth.

In the Imperial Study Room, the Emperor was discussing important matters with Meng Liangshen, Jiang Yichun, and Lv.

”Since we need to go back to the Capital City, we need more money. I plan to continue looking for the items on the sheepskin scroll.” Tang Yin said. Everyone here was his confidant, so there was nothing to worry about.

Jiang Yichun suddenly cupped his hands and knelt on one knee, ”I am willing to lead the team.”

Tang Yin took a deep breath, ”Last time you were already put in danger. I don’t plan to send you again, and we also need to find a way to solve the evil energy on you.”

Jiang Yichun’s gaze darkened, ”Staying here will only harm my family. It’s better to take this opportunity to do something, to avoid making Ruozhu and the children unhappy again.”

Meng Liangshen patted his shoulder, ”Xiaojiang, we all know, Dengdeng’s illness is not your fault. Don’t overthink it.”

”But it really was because of me. Dengdeng was healthy and rarely fell sick. This time he’s gotten so thin from being sick. What if there’s a second time? And what about Ruozhu’s two children who haven’t been born yet? I can’t stay here.”
