The prince's personal bodyguard

Ah Luo gave Wei Wuji a grateful smile on her pale face and walked towards her guest room with difficulty. Since Wei Wuji followed her, she was not afraid of falling.

Wei Wuji ordered the waiter to fetch some hot water and send it to A'Luo's room. A'Luo took off her wet clothes, climbed into the bathtub, and closed her eyes comfortably, as if she had just come alive.

After taking a bath, Luo felt much more relaxed. She changed into clean clothes and lay down on the bed to rest.

Wei Wuji was wandering outside the door. He was a little worried about A-Luo's condition due to his old injury and the rain. He knocked on the door and asked A-Luo if she needed help. A-Luo said she was much better and thanked him for his concern.

After a while, Wei Wuji knocked on the door and brought a bowl of ginger soup for Ah Luo to drink. Ah Luo took the ginger soup and felt that this man was really thoughtful. She felt very warm in her heart. No one of the opposite sex had ever shown such care for her. Ah Luo was grateful and her face turned slightly red.

After Wei Wuji left, A'Luo thought of Bai Xinyin and the others again, and tears couldn't help but flow down.

The next morning, everyone got up, ate, and prepared to set off. They had packed up, but Ah Luo was missing.

At first, Wei Wuji thought A'Luo was tired. As a girl, she liked to sleep in, so he didn't call her and let her sleep a little longer.

But no matter how long I waited, no one showed up, so I started to get anxious.

He knocked on Luo's door, but there was no response. Could it be that she changed her mind and went back home in the middle of the night?

I knocked a few more times, but there was no response.

Oh no! Wei Wuji's heart suddenly sank. He kicked the door open and walked into the room quickly. He looked closely and saw Ah Luo lying on the bed with a red face and dry lips. She was panting and groaning in pain.

Wei Wuji walked to the bed, not caring about the difference between men and women, and gently touched Luo's forehead. It was so hot! Luo's eyes were confused and weak. She looked at Wei Wuji, breathing rapidly, as if she wanted to say something, but couldn't make a sound.

Wei Wuji stood up, ordered two soldiers to find a doctor, and then told everyone that they could not travel today because Princess Duolan had a high fever.

Everyone saw A'Luo's condition yesterday. Since she was already injured, they were afraid that she would die on the road, so they could only sigh softly.

Seeing that Ah Luo had a high fever, Wei Wuji went to find a basin of warm water and gently wiped Ah Luo's face and palms with a towel, trying to lower her body temperature. He poured another cup of water and slowly fed it to Ah Luo, hoping to bring her some moisture. Ah Luo's breathing gradually stabilized, but she was still very weak.

Soon, the doctor came. The doctor immediately took A-Luo's pulse. The doctor told Wei Wuji that A-Luo had a high fever due to bone injury and being caught in the rain. If she was not taken care of properly, she would develop other problems from the previous fever. She needed to take medicine and rest, and not to overwork, otherwise she would suffer from sequelae.

After getting the medicine, Wei Wuji was very anxious. He knew that Ah Luo's condition could not be delayed any longer, but he did not have a maid with him, and he could only feed Ah Luo the medicine himself without regard for the difference between men and women.

Wei Wuji carried the medicine bowl and walked carefully to A'Luo's bedside, gently lifting her up. A'Luo's face was as pale as paper, her lips were tightly closed, and her eyes revealed a trace of pain and helplessness. Seeing A'Luo's weak appearance, Wei Wuji felt a little guilty.

Wei Wuji scooped up a spoonful of medicine, blew it gently, and then put it to A'Luo's lips. A hint of hesitation flashed in A'Luo's eyes, but she still opened her mouth and drank the medicine. Wei Wuji was relieved to see A'Luo drink the medicine. He continued to feed A'Luo the medicine, one spoonful after another, until A'Luo drank the whole bowl of medicine.

After drinking the medicine, Wei Wuji helped Ah Luo lie down, and then gently wiped her forehead and cheeks with a wet towel. He hoped that this would make Ah Luo feel better and reduce her fever faster. However, until noon, Ah Luo's temperature did not drop, but instead tended to rise.

In the afternoon, A'Luo fell into a coma.

Wei Wuji was extremely anxious. He didn't know what to do to reduce Luo's fever.

Wei Wuji recalled that when he had a fever in the past, his mother would always boil plantain for him to drink. The fever would go away after one drink. Sometimes, when the fever was really high, it would go away after two drinks at most.

Then he ordered someone to go to the pharmacy and buy plantain.

Unexpectedly, the soldier who went to buy the medicine said that the pharmacy was out of stock and there was no such grass for the time being.

There was only one pharmacy in the town. He said there were no more, so we had to go to the next town, which was far away.

Wei Wuji thought about it, sent someone to watch over A'Luo and feed her water, while he rode a fast horse to the mountains next to the town.

He walked for a long time but didn't see any trace of the sedge. He felt a little disappointed, and just when he was about to give up, he suddenly saw a few sedges growing on the cliff halfway up the mountain.

He used his Qinggong to climb over. The cliff was very steep. Wei Wuji came in a hurry and had no rope or dagger with him, so he had to climb with his hands. His fingers were rubbed by the rocks and were bleeding, but he didn't care. He just wanted to dig out the money grass.

After some effort, Wei Wuji finally dug out the chamomile grass. He looked at the chamomile grass in his hand, and his heart was filled with joy and a sense of accomplishment.

Wei Wuji held it in his arms like a treasure and returned to the inn. He took half a liang of the medicine and boiled it, then fed it to Ah Luo.

Sure enough, not long after drinking the medicine, A'Luo broke out in a sweat and her body temperature gradually dropped. Wei Wuji breathed a sigh of relief, and the heavy stone in his heart finally fell to the ground.

"General, you are so kind to Princess Duolan. You go to the mountain to collect herbs yourself."

"General, where did you dig the herbs? Look at how badly your hands are worn."

When Luo woke up, she heard two soldiers talking to Wei Wuji in the house.

"Don't talk nonsense. I want the princess to get better soon to avoid delaying the trip." Wei Wuji seemed a little guilty when he said this.

"General, you feel guilty, right? I think Miss Luo is a good person. Why don't you go back and ask the emperor to help you?"

"Stop talking nonsense and get out of here!"

"Yes, yes, let's get out." The two soldiers went out with a sarcastic look.

A'Luo didn't dare to open her eyes at this time, so she just pretended for a while.

She only felt a man's presence beside the bed, as if he was always watching her.

But I drank too much water and wanted to urinate, so I had to open my eyes slowly.

When he met Wei Wuji's gaze on his face, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. Seeing that Luo had woken up, Wei Wuji quickly shifted his gaze and pretended to look at something else.

A'Luo saw that Wei Wuji's hands were stained with blood, and it seemed that he had not had time to wash them.

This is probably the injury he suffered while collecting herbs for himself?

Neither of them spoke.

But an unknown feeling arose in Luo's heart.

Wei Wuji wrote a letter to Emperor Wei, reporting the situation.

For the next two days, Wei Wuji stayed by A'Luo's side to take care of her. On the second afternoon, A'Luo felt much better and said she could get out of bed and walk.

Wei Wuji was very happy to see that A'Luo was feeling better.

At night, a carrier pigeon flew in. It was a letter from the King of Wei, urging Wei Wuji to take A'Luo back to Wei as soon as possible.

After reading the letter, Wei Wuji put it into the oil lamp and burned it without saying a word.

They stayed like this for another two days, and A'Luo had basically recovered, so Wei Wuji told everyone to set off tomorrow.

Along the way, Ah Luo remained silent. Wei Wuji was worried about her physical condition and asked her from time to time if she needed to rest.

Ah Luo felt Wei Wuji's care and felt warm in her heart. She had never thought that a stranger would care about her so much. And Wei Wuji looked at Ah Luo's smile and felt a kind of satisfaction he had never felt before. He suddenly realized that he hadn't felt this way for a long time. Since his wife passed away, he has been a loner and never thought that someone could enter his heart. Ah Luo's appearance made his life no longer lonely, and he even began to look forward to the days of getting along with Ah Luo.
