Advising the villains to be kind every day

Chapter 69

Xiao Jingchen didn't notice when Mu Qiulan entered the tent.

"My lord..." she said softly, "Is your lord having a headache again?"

Xiao Jingchen raised his head when he heard the sound, "Well... the king is upset."

In just a few days, he looked quite haggard, his brows and eyes were full of fatigue, and his brows seemed to have never been stretched, and they were knit into a ball.

"The servant girl... is the king..."

"En!" Before she could finish speaking, Xiao Jingchen said, "I'm afraid you are the only one who can help me relieve my worries!"

Mu Qiulan only thought that he was talking about a headache, and didn't think deeply about it, so she stepped forward slowly and stood behind Xiao Jingchen.When she lowered her head, she saw a few silver hairs growing in his shiny black hair, which obviously didn't exist a few days ago.

He must have been overworked these days.

She put her hand on his temple, frowned suddenly, and immediately touched Xiao Jingchen's forehead.

So hot!

"My lord, are you sick?"

"It's okay..." Xiao Jingchen said, "Keep quiet."

"But..." Mu Qiulan said anxiously, "No, I'll call the military doctor."

"Don't go!" Xiao Jingchen stretched out his hand to hold her, "I'm fine."

"Then what should we do?" Mu Qiulan thought for a while: "The prince should lie down and rest first, and the servant girl will fetch some water."

She helped Xiao Jingchen onto the couch and went out to fetch water.When she came back, Xiao Jingchen was so burned that his entire face was flushed.

When she was in the country, she had seen her grandma treat people with cold and fever, and now she didn't care about the distinction of dignity, so she quickly untied Xiao Jingchen's clothes, and then wiped his chest, neck, and cheeks with a soaked towel , hands and feet... In addition, if you want to reduce the fever faster, you need to take some decoction.

She knew that the reason why Xiao Jingchen didn't let her speak out was that the army had been stationed here for several days, and they would never return if they attacked. After a long period of time, the army's morale would inevitably be scattered. If he fell down again, it was unknown what would happen.

Therefore, she could not go to the military doctor to get medicine.

At this time, she remembered seeing Bupleurum bupleurum growing on the mountain road behind Daying. Bupleurum bupleurum can relieve fever, soothe the liver and stagnation, and enhance yang energy, which is just right for the disease.

Mu Qiulan hurried out to look for it.Taking advantage of the moonlight and her knowledge of herbal medicine, she quickly found Bupleurum in that weed.

She dug two plants and boiled them into medicinal soup in the kitchen, and hurriedly sent them to the big tent.

When I first arrived outside the camp, I met Pang Ao.

"What is this in the girl's hand?"

"Ah... yes... it's Babao herbal tea." Mu Qiulan said, "The prince drank it once before and said it was good, so he asked me to make some more."

"Oh..." Pang Ao said: "But isn't the lord already resting? Just now I saw that the candles in the big tent have gone out."

"Ah! Yes! This herbal tea needs to be cooled before drinking. I will brew it first and let it cool. If the prince wakes up, he can drink it."

"So that's how it is... Pang only knows how to drink hot tea, but there is also cold tea. Pang also wants to try this herbal tea someday."

"Okay, I'll cook a few pots some other day for the soldiers in the camp to drink."

"Then please trouble the girl." Pang Ao cupped his hands and said, "Pang still has to patrol around, excuse me!"

"General, walk slowly!"

Seeing Pang Ao walking away, Mu Qiulan let out a sigh of relief, hurried into the big tent, lit a candle, took off the scarf from Xiao Jingchen's forehead, stroked his forehead, it was still hot.

"My lord, drink the medicine!"

Xiao Jingchen answered in a daze, but didn't wake up.

Sitting on the couch, she struggled to help Xiao Jingchen up and leaned against her, and fed the medicine into his mouth spoon by spoon.

After finally taking the medicine, Mu Qiulan was exhausted and her mouth was dry. When she got up and wanted to drink some water, Xiao Jingchen suddenly grabbed her hand and murmured: "This king will not admit defeat! No! Admit defeat..."

It's all like this, but still trying to be brave!
She struggled for her wrist, but Xiao Jingchen grabbed her tightly, as if he regarded her as an old enemy, and would rather die than let her go.

She had no choice but to sit down, propped her head on her hands and looked at the man with picturesque eyebrows in front of her. She saw his thin lips tightly pursed, with inherent arrogance and stubbornness, his brows were still furrowed, as if he had endless troubles to digest.

At the age of 13, he was enshrined as king and led the army to defeat Nanyi. At that time, he was still a child.

Mu Qiulan thought that when she was 13 years old, she had already entered the Shangshu Mansion.Sweeping, washing clothes, and serving tea and water are what she does every day, which is completely different from Xiao Jingchen's life.But she is luckier than him in that she experienced a carefree childhood, and a prince like him should have studied and practiced martial arts in his childhood.

Thinking about it this way, she felt that Xiao Jingchen was quite pitiful. Although he was born in an emperor's family, although he was extremely rich, he lost a lot of happiness because of it.

Xiao Jingchen said that he and she are not the same. Thinking about it this way, it seems that they are both fallen in the world.It's just that Xiao Jingchen's heart is home, country, and the world, and she just hopes that she and her aunt will regain their freedom and be safe and smooth.

But now it seems that the wishes of both of them seem a little out of reach...

When Xiao Jingchen woke up, it was already daylight.He slept well that night, and he felt refreshed when he woke up.

He remembered that when he got up, he saw Mu Qiulan lying on the edge of the couch, still asleep.Her palm-sized face was hidden in her hair, as white as snow, with a touch of rose pink on her cheeks, and her lips were bright red, but maybe a little dehydrated and not so radiant.

He let go of his grip on her hand, leaving black and blue fingerprints on that glistening white wrist.

This woman...is she so stupid to let him keep holding her?

What a silly woman!

He got up and wanted to hug her to the couch, but he never thought that Mu Qiulan would suddenly wake up when he met her, hid aside, looked at him like a frightened little rabbit, and said timidly: "My lord..."

Xiao Jingchen looked at her inexplicably angry: "Why? Do you think this king will cheat on you?"

Mu Qiulan shook her head.

"Then why are you so guarded against me?"

Mu Qiulan: "..."

"Looking at the prince's complexion, it should be much better. The servant girl retreated first."

"Stop!" Xiao Jingchen held her back, and seeing how scared she looked, he let go of his hand again.

"You don't have to be so afraid of me, I don't eat people!"

He sighed and waved his hands, "Go down!"

"Yes!"

Mu Qiulan hurriedly retreated, and when she walked out of the big tent, she realized that Xiao Jingchen had just said "I" instead of "my lord"...

Zhuang Wan didn't sleep well that night, and kept an eye on the outside news, for fear that Yan Cheng would be caught trying to save her, and more importantly, she had to be wary of that greasy and disgusting Nanyi king.

Fortunately, nothing happened overnight, so she could finally feel at ease.

The maid brought her porridge and side dishes, but she didn't feel like eating them.Na Zhamu didn't come back, it seems that he didn't take what she said seriously.

This is difficult.

She looked at the bustling market, although this Nanyi was not as prosperous as the Central Plains, but the population was thriving, otherwise how could a small border country gather an army of [-] to compete with Xiao Jingchen.

Just judging from this market, it is quite peaceful and peaceful. The war seems to have no effect on them, just like living in a paradise.

At this time, her eyes fell on a merchant.The vendor's back basket was full of bamboo dragonflies, and a group of children were surrounding him.

There are many bamboo forests in Nanyi, and there are many bamboo products in the street market. This bamboo dragonfly is not uncommon, but she looks familiar with the vendor.

The children happily released the bamboo dragonfly, Zhuang Wan saw that the vendor also released one, and the bamboo dragonfly arrived at her feet impartially.
