Chapter 392: Fate but No Destiny
The emperor has been on the throne for so many years and is used to a life of luxury.
He would not show off if he felt a little uncomfortable.
This time, he was caught in the rain, caught a cold and had a fever. In fact, he was not feeling well.
He was just worried about Ning Chuchu's condition and couldn't wait to see her.
But he was also worried that if he didn't get treatment in time and continued to rush on the road without caring about it, if he fell ill, it would take a lot of time on the road.
It would be better to go to Yangqu County to see a doctor first. If the problem is not serious, he can take some medicine and then rush on.
The emperor thought it through and said immediately, "Then go to Yangqu County first."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Instead of wasting words and persuading him, it would be better to rush to Yangqu County as soon as possible and find a doctor to treat the emperor.
Ning Chuyi and Pang Shou told everyone to pack up and set off immediately.
Fortunately, the sky was slightly bright, so everyone didn't have to travel with torches.
But when they arrived in Yangqu County, it was already afternoon.
The emperor did not intend to let outsiders know about his trip out of the capital, and he did not make a fuss when he arrived in Yangqu County.
The emperor had a fever and traveled such a long distance, so it was inevitable that his cold would get worse.
Fortunately, Ning Chuyi sent someone to the county first, arranged an inn, and invited all the doctors in the county who knew medicine to the inn.
When the emperor and his entourage arrived at the inn, the doctors immediately took turns to diagnose his pulse.
Those doctors did not know the emperor's identity, but seeing so many imperial guards with knives, they guessed that his identity must be extraordinary. Therefore, they diagnosed the pulse very carefully, fearing that there would be any mistakes and lose their lives.
After diagnosing the pulse, the doctors discussed again and again, and finally carefully prescribed a prescription.
Eunuch An took the prescription and immediately took it to the door and handed it to Sun Yuanzheng.
Sun Yuanzheng was still having a fever, so naturally he could not treat the emperor. He forced himself to go to the inn in Yangqu County, and seeing that the emperor's cold got worse, he did not dare to rest.
In order to avoid infecting the emperor with his illness, he did not dare to get close. He could only stand far away at the door and listen to the doctors' pulse diagnosis.
From their discussion, Sun Yuanzheng heard that they were quite capable, and he was relieved.
He took the prescription and read it carefully. He did not find anything wrong, so he nodded to Eunuch An.
Eunuch An immediately ordered someone to take the prescription to the clinic to buy medicine.
Not long after, the medicine was brought back.
Because he was worried about the emperor's condition, Eunuch An kept the doctors. And told them that they had to wait until the condition improved before letting them leave.
However, in order to let them feel at ease to treat the emperor, Eunuch An rewarded each doctor with a sum of silver.
Although they were uneasy, the doctors did not dare to complain because of the generous reward given by Eunuch An.
Seeing that the medicine was brought back, one doctor took the initiative to ask to help decoct the medicine.
Eunuch An naturally wanted the doctor to decoct the medicine himself.
However, for the sake of caution, Eunuch An still arranged two people to watch the doctor boil the medicine.
The emperor was not in good spirits. After eating something, he planned to rest for a while and drink the medicine after it was boiled.
Seeing that Sun Yuanzheng was still anxiously guarding the door of the room, the emperor forced himself to be energetic and ordered Eunuch An to ask the doctors to treat Sun Yuanzheng.
Eunuch An has served the emperor for many years and is his confidant. Knowing that the emperor still wants Sun Yuanzheng to treat Ning Chuchu, he is also worried that Sun Yuanzheng's condition will worsen.
Hearing the emperor's order, he immediately followed it.
When the medicine was boiled and the emperor took it, the high fever slowly began to subside, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
This relief made Ling Chu a little unable to hold on.
He asked the inn waiter to prepare hot water, and forced himself to wash up. Just as he was about to rest, he suddenly heard someone knocking on the door.
When he opened the door, he saw Ning Chuyi standing at the door.
He held a tray in his hand.
Ling Chu was tired and hungry, and her eyes lit up when she smelled the fragrance.
Ning Chuyi was looking down at her, raised his lips, and whispered, "I asked someone to prepare some easy-to-digest food, you can eat it before going to sleep."
Ling Chu subconsciously wanted to reach out to take the tray, but she felt something was wrong.
Ning Chuyi, who was gentle, soft-spoken, and considerate, made her feel a little uncomfortable.
Since she didn't plan to get married, she should keep a distance from Lord Ning to avoid any unnecessary misunderstandings.
Perhaps seeing what she was thinking, Ning Chuyi pursed his lips and whispered, "Everyone has finished eating. I saw that you didn't come down to eat, and guessed that you might be washing up, so I brought it up for you.
It's cold, and things get cold quickly. Eat while they're hot and rest early. Health is important, and there's still a long way to go."
The food was brought up, and it was hard for Ling Chu to refuse.
She smiled and reached out to take the tray, "Okay, thank you for your trouble, sir."
Ning Chuyi avoided her hand and said softly, "It's a bit heavy, I'll bring it in for you."
Ling Chu's hand paused, and quickly retracted it, and turned sideways, "Thank you, sir."
Ning Chuyi stepped in and put a bowl of noodles, a bowl of porridge, and two side dishes on the tray on the table.
He turned around to check the wooden window and the door, and made sure there was nothing wrong, then said, "I live in the room on the right. If there is anything, just shout, I can hear it."
Ling Chu sighed in his heart, but didn't show anything on his face, just whispered, "Okay, I'll remember it."
"Then you eat quickly and rest early." Ning Chuyi explained again, without saying anything more, turned around and went out, and helped her close the door.
After he left, Ling Chu walked to the table and sat down.
The noodles and porridge that Ning Chuyi brought were not expensive, but they were exactly what she wanted.
After several days of traveling, she didn't have a good meal at Bafangyue Inn.
She needed some hot food to replenish her body's energy.
But she was weak and her stomach was delicate.
If Ning Chuyi brought big fish and meat, or some greasy food, she couldn't eat it at all, and she didn't dare to eat it.
But this noodles and porridge were just right for her.
Ning Chuyi had such a considerate side under his cold and ruthless means.
If she was in good health, she really wanted to try to get along with him for a while, or even marry him.
It's just... a pity.
In this life, she and him are not destined to be together.
Ling Chu sighed. The next time she found a chance, she still had to make things clear with Lord Ning.
She didn't want to be a bad woman. Since she couldn't marry him, she had to avoid those inappropriate things from happening.
Having made up her mind, Ling Chu picked up the chopsticks and started to eat.
After eating 70% full, she put down the chopsticks.
She had to take care of her body at all times, try to avoid extreme joy and sorrow, and not overeat or be hungry all the time.
In order to live as long as possible, she had to restrain herself all the time.
After a while, Ling Chu lay down to sleep.
I was sleeping soundly at night, and suddenly I heard the system alarm.
Ling Chu just opened his eyes, and suddenly a scream broke the silent night sky, "The fire broke..."
