Xiao Wenyin took a deep breath, squatted in front of Gu Qinlan, looked at Zheng Huiyi in her arms, and coaxed softly: "Huiyi, I am your sister Xiao, and I am here to visit your second brother. Come here and let your sister hug you, okay?"

Zheng Huiyi blinked her eyes and looked at the gorgeously dressed and gentle-smiling woman in front of her, a hint of doubt arose in her heart.

She hesitated for a moment before asking in a low voice: "Sister Xiao? Why are you here?"

Xiao Wenyin smiled slightly, with concern in her eyes: "I came to visit your second brother. I heard that your second brother is sick. Your mother and I are very worried. By the way, the princess has taken care of your second brother all night. She must be hungry. Let's let her eat something."

Zheng Huiyi shrank her neck slightly, leaned into Gu Qinlan's arms, and whispered, "I don't want to leave my mother. I want my mother to hug me."

Gu Qinlan patted Zheng Huiyi's back gently and said softly, "Huiyi, Sister Xiao means well, go and let her hug you. I'm really a little hungry, I want to go eat something."

Zheng Huiyi raised her head and looked at Gu Qinlan, her eyes were full of fatigue, and there were still dark circles under her eyes caused by staying up late, which made her feel distressed. She pursed her lips tightly, and her bright eyes were full of worry. She walked to Gu Qinlan, put her little hand gently on her shoulder, and said softly: "Mother, you have worked hard, let me feed you."

Gu Qinlan looked at her daughter's concerned eyes, and a warm feeling welled up in her heart. She took the bowl and smiled softly, "Yier, you are such a sensible child. However, mother has something more important to do now, which is to give you acupuncture to treat your illness."

Zheng Huiyi heard this, a trace of resistance flashed in her eyes, she whispered: "Mother, I'm really fine, you've worked so hard, you should take a rest first."

Gu Qinlan patted Zheng Huiyi's hand gently, smiled and said, "Yier, I know your feelings, but your most important task now is to make your body stronger. I was taking care of Fengyun last night and almost forgot to give you acupuncture. It was my negligence."

Zheng Huiyi heard this, a hint of resistance flashed in her eyes, but it was quickly replaced by understanding and gratitude. She knew that her mother was doing this for her own good, so she nodded gently and said, "Mom, I understand. Don't worry, I will cooperate obediently."

Gu Qinlan looked at her daughter's sensible appearance, and she couldn't help but feel deeply moved. She gently stroked Zheng Huiyi's head and said, "Yier, do you know that since you were born, your mother has been worried about you. You are weak and need acupuncture and medicinal baths to recuperate. I am afraid that you will suffer, but I am more afraid that something bad will happen to you."

Zheng Huiyi felt a warm current in her heart when she heard her mother's words. She held Gu Qinlan's hand tightly and said, "Mother, I am not afraid of hardship. As long as I can be with you, I am willing to do anything."

At this time, Xiao Wenyin suddenly coughed, looked at Gu Qinlan, and suggested: "Sister Gu, why don't you take Huiyi to the next room for acupuncture, and I will take care of Zheng Fengyun here, how about it?"

Gu Qinlan frowned slightly, glanced at Xiao Wenyin, and thought secretly in his heart.

She knew that Xiao Wenyin was a scheming person, but Zheng Fengyun was unconscious at the moment and Zheng Huiyi needed care. She could not leave Xiao Wenyin with Zheng Fengyun to avoid any accidents.

"Sister Xiao, I appreciate your kindness, but I think it's better to give Huiyi acupuncture here. Zheng Fengyun's condition is unstable, and I'm worried that he might have an accident." Gu Qinlan said in a firm tone.

Xiao Wenyin smiled slightly when she heard this, and stopped trying to dissuade him. She said, "If that's the case, I'll stay and accompany Zheng Fengyun. You can rest assured to give me acupuncture."

Gu Qinlan nodded and glanced at Xiao Wenyin. She turned to Zheng Huiyi, patted her shoulder gently, and said softly, "Huiyi, don't worry, mother will cure you."

Zheng Huiyi looked at her mother's tired eyes and couldn't help feeling guilty. She nodded obediently, lay on the couch, closed her eyes, and prepared to receive the acupuncture.

Gu Qinlan picked up the silver needle and began to carefully give Zheng Huiyi acupuncture. Xiao Wenyin sat quietly beside Zheng Fengyun's bed, observing his condition with a serious look.

Not long after, Gu Qinlan finished acupuncture and put the silver needles into the needle bag, she suddenly felt dizzy and saw stars. Her body swayed slightly, like a dead leaf swaying in the wind, and she might fall to the ground at any time.

Zheng Huiyi immediately noticed something was wrong with her mother. Her little face was filled with worry. She quickly reached out her little hand and held Gu Qinlan tightly.

"Mother, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?" Zheng Huiyi's voice was full of anxiety.

Gu Qinlan shook her head gently. Her face was as pale as paper, but she still tried to force a smile in front of her daughter. "It's okay, Yi'er, I'm just a little tired. Don't worry."

Zheng Huiyi's brows were still furrowed. She looked up at Gu Qinlan with worry in her eyes. "But mother, you don't look very well. Do you want to take a rest?"

Gu Qinlan gently patted Zheng Huiyi's hand and comforted her, "Okay, Yi'er is really a sensible child. Go tell the servants to prepare the medicinal bath."

Zheng Huiyi nodded and turned to leave. However, she just took a step and looked back at Gu Qinlan, "Mother, I will take the medicinal bath obediently, and you must take good care of yourself."

Gu Qinlan smiled and nodded, watching her daughter leave. When Zheng Huiyi disappeared outside the door, Gu Qinlan's body finally couldn't support it anymore. She sat weakly on the chair and took a deep breath.

The medicinal bath was soon prepared, and Zheng Huiyi was taken to bathe by the servants. The medicinal bath pool in Prince Duan's mansion was very delicately designed, with various exotic flowers and plants placed around it, and the fragrance was overwhelming. Zheng Huiyi soaked in the warm water, and a comfortable expression gradually appeared on her little face.

"Yier, how does the medicinal bath feel?" Gu Qinlan's voice came from the side of the pool.

Zheng Huiyi raised her head and looked at her mother sitting on the chair, her eyes full of concern, "Mom, the medicinal bath is very comfortable. Do you want to take a bath too?"

Gu Qinlan smiled slightly, "No, I'm fine now. Yi'er, just take a bath and have a good rest."

Zheng Huiyi nodded and continued to immerse herself in the comfort of the medicinal bath. However, she was still worried about her mother. She quietly stood up from the pool and went to Gu Qinlan's side.

"Mother, you still look pale. Do you want me to rub your shoulders?" Zheng Huiyi's voice was gentle and concerned.

Gu Qinlan shook her head gently, "Yier, that's not necessary. You should have a good rest, I'm fine."

Zheng Huiyi's little face showed a firm expression, "Mother, I am worried. I will stay with you until you fully recover."

Gu Qinlan looked at her daughter's determined eyes, and a warm current surged in her heart. She reached out and gently stroked Zheng Huiyi's head, "Yier, you are such a filial child. Since you are so worried, then stay with me."

Zheng Huiyi immediately showed a bright smile. She carefully sat beside Gu Qinlan and began to gently massage her mother's shoulders. Although her technique was unskilled, it was full of love. Gu Qinlan looked at her daughter and was deeply moved.
