Xu Qingmo really didn't know how much decoction he drank these days. The phenomenon was that he would feel a headache when he saw the dark decoction!
"Do you have to drink?" Xu Qingmo frowned.
"What do you think?" Meng Hetong asked, "If you feel you don't have to drink it, I won't force you!"
Xu Qingmo was not one of those delicate little girls who needed to be coaxed. Although she had a hundred or a thousand unwillingnesses in her heart, she still picked up the soup and drank it in one gulp.
The medicine was spicy and bitter. When Xu Qingmo drank it, acidity kept rising in her stomach. As soon as he put down the bowl, Meng Hetong stuffed a piece of candied fruit into her mouth.
The sweet and sour taste slowly spread in the mouth, and then diluted the bitter medicinal taste in the mouth.
Xu Qingmo looked at Meng Hetong in surprise: "Where did you get the candied fruits?"
Meng Hetong smiled: "The mountain man has his own clever plan!"
Xu Qingmo didn't care what Meng Hetong's clever plan was. She just felt dizzy now, but she didn't want to lie on the bed inside, so she leaned on Meng Hetong's back and closed her eyes to rest.
"Why don't you go in and rest for a while?" Meng Hetong turned his head slightly and said softly.
"No, I'm not worried!" Xu Qingmo leaned on Meng Hetong's back, listening to his heartbeat, feeling inexplicably relieved.
"Aren't you afraid that others will misunderstand you?" Meng Hetong raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Didn't you tell others that I am your sister? We are all brothers and sisters, what can be misunderstood?" Xu Qingmo said and changed his posture.
When Hua Ying and Qu Lian rushed over, Xu Qingmo was sleeping drowsily behind Meng Hetong. Hua Ying's eyes turned red when she saw Xu Qingmo: "Girl..."
"Shh!" Meng Hetong frowned, "Your girl has just taken medicine. Let her rest for a while. Go and get a quilt and cover her so that she will not sweat!"
Hua Ying responded, then stumbled to get a quilt for Xu Qingmo.
Qu Lian, on the other hand, showed rare calmness: "Your Majesty, where are you and our girl going?"
"The water thieves set fire to the boat, so I dragged your girl to jump out of the boat!" Meng Hetong glanced at Xu Qingmo, who was sleeping soundly on his shoulder, and felt helpless, "Who would have thought that your girl was a landlubber. She choked on her water a few times, and then... It started to burn!”
Qu Lian frowned, and then she remembered Xu Qingmo being pushed into the water by Xu Qingling, and frowned: "My girl was pushed into the water by the second girl because she didn't know how to swim, and she almost died!"
Meng Hetong paused for a moment, then looked at Qu Lian: "You girl, you are so brave. You have exposed the Xu family's family scandal. Aren't you afraid that your girl will come to settle the score with you later?"
Qu Lian looked confused: "Settling accounts, what kind of accounts are they settling? Is it possible that you don't know about our girl's affairs and the prince's?"
"You..." Meng Hetong paused, and finally found that he could not refute, "What you said can easily cause misunderstanding!"
Qu Lian smiled: "I have never seen a girl trust a man so much except the Marquis and the Crown Prince!"
Meng Hetong looked at Xu Qingmo, then smiled: "Maybe it's because I look honest and loyal!"
When Huaying came back, she heard what Meng Hetong said. She stood there holding a quilt with a look of disbelief on her face.
Meng Hetong naturally saw Huaying's gaze, and he turned his head silently, as if the shameless words just now did not come from his mouth!
The three of them sat there like this for about a quarter of an hour before Xu Qingmo broke out in a cold sweat. Hua Ying felt extremely distressed and wanted to wipe her sweat with a handkerchief, but the moment she met Xu Qingmo, he grabbed her. hand.
"girl……"
Xu Qingmo opened his eyes, his eyes full of wariness. He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw it was Hua Ying: "When did you come?"
"It's been a while!" Meng Hetong looked down at Xu Qingmo, "Are you feeling better?"
"My head is not that dizzy, but my hands and feet are a little numb!" Xu Qingmo looked at Meng Hetong and said softly.
"Then let's get up first and go to the inn to have a good rest!" Hua Ying looked at Xu Qingmo and said softly.
Xu Qingmo nodded, and then stood up slowly, supported by Hua Ying and Qu Lian.
The carriage was already waiting at the entrance of the hospital. Xu Qingmo saw Yusheng from a distance, and then heard Qu Lian snort from her nose.
Xu Qingmo was a little surprised: "What's wrong? We had a quarrel?"
"Who's going to quarrel with him?" Qu Lian turned her head away, her face full of discomfort.
Hua Ying on the side directly exposed Qu Lian: "We haven't quarreled yet? Something happened that day, and the crew asked us to take a small boat. After Qu Lian sent me and the old lady on the boat, he had to go back to find the girl, and he couldn't pull her away no matter what. Stop, finally I got so angry that I knocked her unconscious and dragged her back! Her neck is still stiff even now!"
It was okay if Hua Ying didn't mention it, but when he mentioned it, Qu Lian felt angry and aggrieved, and simply lowered his head and stopped talking.
When Xu Qingmo saw Qu Lian's appearance, he couldn't help but laugh: "Why are you angry? I'm doing this for your own good! It was so chaotic on the ship at that time, and everyone was walking out. It's better for you, but you still have to rush in!" "
"Well, then I'm worried about the girl!" Qu Lian felt aggrieved.
"Didn't I tell you before I left? All you have to do is protect my grandmother. Among this group of people, except for those guards, you are the only woman who knows martial arts. If you are not here, what will Hua Ying and the others do? "Xu Qingmo said helplessly, "Besides, the ship is on fire, and you will only add to the chaos if you go back!"
Qu Lian's head dropped lower and lower.
In the end, it was Hua Ying who put in good words for her: "Qu Lian is too worried about the girl, and so are you. If something happens to you, what will we do? There are so many water thieves, and you can rush out as soon as you say. It's really I was too impulsive, now it’s better, I fell into the water again, and it’s cold again. When the old lady finds out later, she doesn’t know how worried she will be!”
"I know, I know!" Xu Qingmo began to regret as soon as he thought of Mrs. He's tearful eyes.
Ever since Mrs. He received the news that Xu Qingmo was at the hospital, she wanted to go find her by herself. Mrs. He was forced to hold her back, but she didn't expect that Mrs. He would be standing at the door of the inn waiting for them. .
When Xu Qingmo got off the carriage, Mrs. He was standing there. She looked at Xu Qingmo, her eyes full of concern. After finally waiting for Xu Qingmo to stand firm, Mrs. He hurried over: "How are you? How are you?"
Xu Qingmo shook his head, and then comforted: "It's okay, I just caught a cold. Grandma, don't worry too much!"
