The firelight suddenly penetrated his eyes, causing Lin Qingge to wake up suddenly and sit up.
"Did you have a nightmare?"
Sweating profusely, Lin Qingge's whole body was stiff, and his whole mood was one of extreme sadness and fear.
She sat blankly for a long time before she saw clearly that the person beside the bed was the nanny Liu.
"Nanny." Her voice was hoarse and unpleasant.
Aunt Liu wiped her tears and immediately put warm water to her mouth: "Miss, it's just a nightmare, it's okay. Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, the wet nurse is by your side."
Have nightmares?
Lin Qingge's thinking was very slow and he couldn't react.
She swallowed most of the glass of water with Grandma Liu's hand. Her throat was moisturized and she regained consciousness slightly.
"Nanny, why are you here?"
Aunt Liu is her nanny, and the General's Mansion respects her very much. Naturally, she will not be allowed to do things like serving people.
Even Lin Qingge's affairs were usually left to Luo Qing and Luo Hong, while Grandma Liu was completely in a state of retirement.
"The general sent someone to say that he has something to do tonight, and seeing that you don't look good, he asked me to come over and take a look. I didn't expect that you have a high fever, and you must be infected with wind and cold."
Wind chill?
Oh, that’s what a cold or something like that is called at this time.
Lin Qingge raised his hand and pinched the center of his brows, with a forced smile on his face: "It's been cold these past two days. Maybe I didn't pay attention, and I got a bit cold."
"The Imperial Physician Yu came over to take a look. He has already prescribed a prescription and prepared some medicine. You drink some rice porridge first, and then drink the medicine."
She shook her head and slowly lay back on the bed: "I still want to sleep."
"But you have to eat something, right? It's already night."
"no appetite."
"Then you lie down for a while. When the medicine is gone, I will call you again."
Lin Qingge said nothing and slowly closed his eyes.
Aunt Liu tucked her in, her face showed a look of hesitation, but in the end she didn't say anything and walked out.
She closed the door and just walked through the corridor when she saw Chu Nanfeng.
"Mama Liu." His attitude towards Mammy Liu was very respectful and he completely regarded himself as a junior.
"General, you are back!"
"Is she feeling better?"
Aunt Liu sighed: "It's not good, I'm still burning. I have no appetite. She said she doesn't want to eat."
He frowned and looked up in the direction of the door. The concern in his eyes was undisguised: "You can go and rest. I will take care of Qingge."
As he said that, he had already passed by Nanny Liu, his steps were light but very fast, obviously wanting to see Lin Qingge earlier.
But he didn't take two steps when he was stopped by Nanny Liu: "General."
"Mommy, is there anything else?" He stopped and turned around to look over.
Aunt Liu stared at him for a while, then took a deep breath: "General, today I want to say a few words about relying on my old age. If you don't think it's right, just pretend you didn't hear it. But there are some words that I won't say after all. Not fast."
Chu Nanfeng was startled for a moment, then turned around completely: "You said it."
"The lady has lost the care of my wife since she was a child. She is not good at distinguishing herself from others, and she is not able to express her emotions at will..."
Just after the first sentence, the corners of Chu Nanfeng's eyes couldn't help but twitch.
Forget about the others, how could Lin Qingge be such a bad person?
In some cases, it is true that she does not want to argue with others, but it is definitely not unkind.
Aunt Liu did not notice his strangeness and continued: "The person who married you that day was supposed to be the second girl of the Lin family, but they were afraid that their daughter would suffer, so they sent the young lady here. For this reason, how much did the young lady eat? Bitterness, the general should know?"
"Of course I understand."
"Since the general knows that the young lady has suffered a lot, he should treat her well. But the old woman also understands that of all things in the world, feelings are the hardest to force. If the general really doesn't like the young lady, just let her go. Don't force her, okay? ?”
"Forcing her?" Chu Nanfeng raised an eyebrow.
"General, the old woman really doesn't know what happened to you. But just now in the room, the lady called your name and said no. If you hadn't forced her, how could she cry like this even when she was sick?"
He was silent for a moment and said in a deep voice: "Mommy, I understand. You can rest early today and take care of Qingge's affairs. I will be here."
Nanny Liu wanted to say something else, but he had already turned around and left.
Just when she wanted to catch up, she was stopped by Shi Qi: "Mommy, why do you think I don't care about the young lady? Things are so busy outside now, but when I heard that the young lady was infected with the cold, I came back immediately! Man! Chao Wenwu, who can care for his wife so much?"
"really?"
"Seriously, don't worry. I love you the most, Madam."
…
Lin Qingge usually slept very lightly, but Chu Nanfeng was from a military background, and his movements were so light that it was difficult for others to notice.
He walked to the bed and looked at the girl lying on the bed by the oil lamp.
Because she was heating up, there were two blushes on her fair cheeks. With your hand slightly close to her face, you could feel the heat of her breath.
Thinking that she hadn't taken the medicine yet, his frown deepened.
He did take a risk today, but he also made such a decision because he believed that Lin Zheng would not hurt her, but she didn't believe it, right?
With a silent sigh, he sat on the edge of the bed and looked at her quietly.
When Luo Hong knocked on the door and came in, Chu Nanfeng woke up Lin Qingge: "Eat something, it's time to take medicine."
Lin Qingge was in a daze when he was woken up. He was in a very low mood and didn't pay attention to the person beside him at all.
She sat on the edge of the bed, opening her mouth mechanically to eat a spoonful of hot porridge to her lips.
Until she couldn't eat anymore and tilted her head: "I won't eat."
"You are sick and don't eat. How can you get better?"
this person……
Lin Qingge was stunned for a moment, and saw clearly the person holding the spoonful of porridge. He had distinct bones.
Not only that, the pattern embroidered with dark gold thread on the cuffs is something that not everyone can wear.
"Chu Nanfeng?" Her voice was hoarse, but she still called out his name.
Chu Nanfeng took back the spoon and raised his hand to touch her forehead: "Are you burned out? Your husband doesn't even recognize you?"
Slowly raising her head, the person in front of her was indeed the one she wanted to be by her side.
No matter how rational and thoughtful she was, she couldn't deny that she was moved by him and that she really fell in love with this man.
But what about him?
It would be more difficult for him than if he and Lin Qiuyue were not childhood sweethearts, because he didn't care about Lin Qiuyue, which meant that he designed so many things for the original owner. Lin Qingge and the original owner were completely different people.
What will happen to him once he discovers the truth?
Lin Qingge's eyes were filled with tears unconsciously. She raised her hand to touch his face, but she did not touch it after all.
"Have you ever thought that the person you tried so hard to marry is long gone. Chu Nanfeng, your careful planning was in vain in the end. I am not her..."
By the end, her voice was trembling.
She had never thought that it would be so difficult to admit that she was herself.
