Chapter 48: Sickness and Fever

Shui Ling'er pestered him and said, "Brother, say it quickly, I promise not to say it." When she returned to Daliang, she had to tell Situ Jing secretly.

Shui Wuxian said coldly, "I'm tired, you go to Xiao Leng to chat with you." Because tonight was Xiao Leng's vigil, he was patrolling back and forth around the tent.

"I don't want to, I'm going to talk to my brother." Shui Ling'er followed Shui Wuxian into the tent, but was ruthlessly pushed out by Shui Wuxi.

Shui Ling'er had no choice but to find Xiao Leng who was patrolling, Xiao Leng was about twenty years old, two years older than her, but unlike her, Xiao Leng always had a cold face, the same as his name.

Shui Ling'er followed Xiao Leng for a while, and she wondered, "Xiao Leng, don't you ask why I follow you?" Ordinary people will ask.

Xiao Leng didn't stop, continued to walk, and said lightly: "Where is Miss Shui Ling'er going, who is she following, Xiao has no right to ask why."

"I can't sleep, talk to me."

Xiao Leng ignored her and continued to walk around the tent.

At this time, Ziyi came out of the tent and walked to Shui Ling'er's side, she glanced at Xiao Leng, then looked back at Shui Ling'er, and said, "Miss, it's not too early, you should go back to the tent to sleep, otherwise you will be sleepy again tomorrow in the carriage."

"Hmm." Shui Ling'er didn't want to ask for it anymore, so she walked back to the tent.

In the next few days, Shui Ling'er rode in a carriage and on a horse, facing a desolate front, she was so bored that she panicked, and even when she was riding, she didn't know that the route was deviated from the team.

Shui Wuxian was worried that she would get lost, so he tied a line to her horse rope and led her, looking back from time to time to see if she was still on the horse's back and not falling to the ground.

Unexpectedly, when I arrived at a place with lush woods, it was pouring rain, and Shui Ling'er and Shui Wuxian had to stay in the carriage as a last resort.

Shui Wuxian and Shui Ling'er stared at each other for a long time, whoever blinked first would lose, this was a small game they had fun with these days.

Shui Ling'er didn't last long, so she raised her foot and kicked in the direction of Shui Wuji.

The water was easily blocked without a trace, and then pointed towards Shui Ling'er's laughing hole.

Although Shui Ling'er smiled, her eyes were still trying not to blink, and she said, "You villain."

The Water Without a Trace Sect said lightly, "Thank you for the compliment."

In the end, Shui Ling'er couldn't help blinking, and she was not to be outdone, "Do it again."

At this time, the carriage stopped, Xiao Leng ran to the window next to the carriage, and said to Shui Wuxian, "Helper, several carriages are stuck in the mud and cannot move forward."

Shui Wuxian immediately dismounted, and Shui Ling'er followed.

It was raining heavily, and they were all drenched.

Several carriages were stuck in the mud, and several guards were helping to push them behind them, one of which was only two people because there were not enough people.

Shui Ling'er immediately ran over to help push the carriage, and as soon as the carriage pushed away the mud, Shui Ling'er was caught off guard, and the whole person fell into the mud.

Shui Wuxian took the oil-paper umbrella handed over by Xiao Leng, walked over in a good time, watched Shui Ling'er get up, covered in mud, and shook his head with a sigh, although his Black Plum Gang is the largest gang in the world, and his wealth is not the first, but at least it is also the second, if there is a young lady like Shui Ling'er who has no good girlfriends, I am afraid that it will become a joke.

He said lightly: "During the time I came to Chu with me, I will find a gentleman to teach you well."

Shui Ling'er wiped the dirt on her face with her hands, she looked at Shui Wuxian holding an oil-paper umbrella, but let her get drenched in the rain, she didn't want to help her hold an umbrella at all, she snorted coldly, not to be outdone, she flew into Shui Wuji's arms, and wiped all the dirt on her face on his clothes, she said, "Brother treats me best."

"You!" Shui Wuxian frowned, pushed Shui Ling'er away with a finger, and said, "You dirty woman, don't touch me."

Shui Ling'er said proudly, "My brother is a dirty man." She looked at the clothes on his body full of her masterpieces, and then looked at Shui Wuxi's headache expression, and her sense of accomplishment suddenly increased.

Shui Wuxian was helpless, and said, "Xiao Leng, there is an inn near here, let's rest tonight."

"Yes."

At night, after Shui Ling'er took a bath, she lay on the bed uncomfortably.

Ziyi walked over and said worriedly, "Miss, are you not feeling well?" She touched her forehead and said in horror, "You have a fever." She hurriedly ran out of the room.

Not long after, Shui Wuxian ran into the room and came to her bedside, with Ziyi following behind.

Shui Wuxian frowned and said, "Only stupid people have a fever." He touched her hot cheek and said to Xiao Leng, "Isn't there a doctor?"

Xiao Leng said respectfully, "You have to go to the town."

Shui Wuxian stood up and ran out, while Ziyi wiped Shui Ling'er's hot forehead and cheeks with a towel dipped in cold water.

Shui Ling'er had been dizzy for a long time, and she couldn't hold on anymore and fell into a deep sleep.

The next day, Shui Ling'er woke up, and it was close to noon as usual.

Ziyi happily walked over with a bowl and said, "Miss, it's okay if you're fine." She took the bowl and handed it to Shui Ling'er and motioned for her to drink it.

Last night, it was raining heavily, and the water rushed to the city without a trace, and he grabbed the doctor who was ready to fall asleep to treat Shui Ling'er.

It is the first time that the people in the Heimei Gang have seen the gang leader so attentive to people, which shows that Shui Ling'er's sister has a lot of weight in his heart.

Shui Ling'er drank the medicinal soup in the bowl in a sigh and said, "Where's my brother?"

Ziyi said lightly, "The helper is sick, and Xiao Leng is taking care of him." Shui Wuxian brought back the doctor, but he had a high fever that did not go away, which was more serious than Shui Ling'er.

"And he said I was stupid, and he was stupid himself." Shui Ling'er said this, but her expression was worried.

She got out of bed and went to the room where the water was untraced.

When Xiao Leng saw her coming, he stood aside and gave her a place.

Shui Ling'er sat on the edge of the bed and looked at Shui Wuxian, who was still sleeping, and said lightly, "You stupid."

In the next few days, Shui Ling'er almost stayed by Shui Wuji's side to take care of him personally.

In the imperial city of Chu State, Furong Palace, Dongfang Yu sat on a bench, holding his cheek with one hand, and listened to Concubine Chen playing the guqin with his eyes closed.

After finishing the song, Concubine Chen walked to Dongfang Yu and knelt down, massaged Dongfang Yu's thighs with both hands, and said softly: "Your Majesty, this is a new song composed by the concubine, is it good?"

Dongfang Yu nodded lightly, he didn't pay attention to the music played by Concubine Chen at all, thinking in his mind that the guards beside Xiaohu hadn't sent a letter back recently, was it discovered by Situ Jing?

Concubine Chen quietly sat next to Dongfang Yu, leaned on him, and said, "Your Majesty, stay tonight, and the concubine will cook herself."

Dongfang Yu was still silent.

Xiao Sizi walked in, he went to Dongfang Yu, and saluted respectfully, "Your Majesty."

Dongfang Yu opened his eyes, stood up without hesitation, completely ignored Concubine Chen, who was unstable on the side, and said lightly, "I will go back to the imperial study." The queen mother told him that he wanted to come to the Furong Palace, and he did it, so there was no need to stay longer.

After Concubine Chen saw Dongfang Yu's figure leaving, she angrily threw all the tea sets on the coffee table next to her to the ground, and shouted, "You just deal with me like this, which slut snatched your heart." He used to be affectionate, but he didn't show mercy to anyone, but now, he is dedicated, but for others.

In the imperial study, Dongfang Yu sat in front of and behind the desk, and Xiao Sizi said: "The southern spies came to report that the leader of the Black Plum Gang, Shui Wuji, broke into the city gate in the middle of the night and arrested a doctor out of the city, and now the Black Plum Gang is settled in an inn outside Chu."

"The Black Plum Gang, huh. He's throwing himself into a trap." When seizing the throne, the Heimei Gang, who had never interfered in the affairs of the imperial family, even provided property to the princes who were also vying for the throne, and even provided manpower, and sent people to assassinate him from time to time.

If it weren't for the idea of the leader of the Black Plum Gang, how dare a mere manager have such courage?

Now that he has ascended the throne as emperor, he wants to purge all enemies of the enemy.

Dongfang Yu said coldly: "Inform the general of the southern town guard, send an army to encircle and suppress the inn, and catch the water without a trace to see me."

"Yes."

After a few days, Shui Wuji's body had fully recovered, but he couldn't rest for a while, because the news that Xiao Leng poked back from outside put all the people in the Black Plum Gang on alert.

Xiao Leng said respectfully, "Helper, the emperor of Chu has summoned and sent the southern general to send troops to destroy this inn.
