After taking a bath, it was already dawn, and several maids retreated.

Xie Tingzhou sat back on the edge of the bed, and when he touched his forehead, the fever had subsided a little, but it was still burning.

She had just taken a bath and changed into clean clothes. Her hair was carefully dried by the maid and spread on the bed.

But after a while, beads of sweat began to form on her forehead again, and her fresh and clean clothes began to become moist with sweat.

The doctor said that it would be fine if the inner fire comes out. Fever and sweating are normal.

She seemed to be lying in discomfort, her breathing became heavier and her brows were knitted together tightly.

Xie Tingzhou picked her up from the quilt, leaned against him, and wiped the sweat on her forehead bit by bit with a handkerchief.

He had never taken care of anyone in his life. Even when he served King Beilin, he just brought medicine and poured water. His maids did the rest.

But now that he was taking care of her, he felt as if this was what he should do, as if this was what he should do.

After an unknown amount of time, Xie Tingzhou let her lie back on the bed. When he retracted his hand, the back of his fingers seemed to accidentally scratch her cheek, and Shen Yu suddenly moved on the bed.

Xie Tingzhou leaned over and asked, "Are you awake?"

Shen Yu just turned her head impatiently, looking uncomfortable.

"It will be uncomfortable, but you have to endure it." Xie Tingzhou comforted in a low voice.

Just as she was about to get up, she found that her sleeve was being held by her, but her eyes were not open.

"father……"

Xie Tingzhou stared at her sleeves and sighed. She really didn't know how she got into the habit of calling her dad when she was sick.

He has been her father twice.

It has to start when Shen Yu was a child. Her mother died early and the two children were still young. Shen Zhongan was worried about leaving the children to his servants. He was both a father and a mother.

He took care of himself when he was sick or fell.

Shen Yu was in poor health when she was young. She was initially asked to practice martial arts to strengthen her body. Unexpectedly, she had excellent intelligence and strong bones.

Practicing Kung Fu was quite hard. Shen Zhongan felt sorry for her and said she would stop practicing if she couldn't continue. However, she was stubborn and wanted to be strong, so she insisted on practicing, so she kept practicing.

Every time after practice, Shen Yu loves to play coquettishly with Shen Zhongan and scream in pain.

Xie Tingzhou held her hand and gently put it back under the quilt. He heard her murmur again: "Brother."

Brother, this one sounds much more pleasant to the ears. He is several years older than her, so this call is not exaggerated, although he knows that her name is Shen Zhao.

The fever lasted for a whole day, and finally calmed down by the evening of the second day.

It was early morning when Shen Yu woke up. She was lying on her back on the bed, looking at the curtain on the top of the bed in a daze.

This is not her bed. Her bed curtains are white, but this bed curtains are dark cyan.

She remembered that she was talking to Xie Tingzhou on the carriage. What happened next?

Shen Yu lifted the bed curtain and took a look. The room was very large, and the furnishings were simple yet elegant. At first glance, it was Xie Tingzhou's room.

She couldn't think of any situation where she would be lying on Xie Tingzhou's bed.

Just as he was thinking about it, a hazy figure was reflected on the screen partition in the middle, slowly walking towards this side.

Shen Yu closed her eyes for a moment and kept her sleeping posture. She heard footsteps getting closer and closer, stopping in front of the bed.

She heard the curtain being lifted, and then a cool hand touched her forehead.

Shen Yu spent a lot of effort to steady herself.

After the hand left, Xie Tingzhou didn't make any move for a while.

Xie Tingzhou stared at her with a smile for a long time, just to see how long she could keep pretending.

"Stop pretending, get up and eat something when you wake up."

Shen Yu opened her eyes and looked at him. This man really didn't show any dignity to anyone and directly exposed her.

Xie Tingzhou helped her sit up and stuffed a pillow behind her back. She looked down and saw that the clothes on her body belonged to her. She should have picked them up from Lu Mingxuan.

This action caught Xie Tingzhou's eyes, and he joked: "Are you worried that I am plotting against you?"

Shen Yu hugged the quilt, "I'm worried that I will go crazy because of my illness and plot against you."

Xie Tingzhou: "Maybe what you are worried about is what I want."

It took Shen Yu a moment to realize the meaning of this sentence. Xie Tingzhou had already turned around to call someone. She couldn't tell whether the casual sentence was a joke or somewhat serious.

The maids filed in carrying trays.

Just as Shen Yu was about to get out of bed, Xie Tingzhou came in from behind the screen and ordered: "Place on the couch."

The maid responded: "Yes."

He must have just finished cleaning his hands. He took a handkerchief to wipe the water droplets on his hands and watched the maid place a small table on the couch and place the food on the table one by one.

"Get down." Xie Tingzhou ordered.

This was Shen Yu's first time eating on the bed, but judging from the maid's proficiency, it was probably not the first time. He must have been lingering on the bed sometimes, and he was probably too weak to even get out of bed.

Thinking of this, Shen Yu suddenly felt a little depressed.

Xie Tingzhou sat sideways on the couch, glanced at the dishes, and then rolled up his sleeves to serve the porridge himself.

People who are sick usually have no appetite, but Shen Yu felt that she was so hungry that she could eat an elephant.

"How long have I been asleep?"

Xie Tingzhou placed the porridge bowl in front of her and said, "Two days."

"Two days!" Shen Yu was shocked.

She remembered the verdict. Ge Liangji would be executed in three days, and now it had been two days.

Shen Yu took the chopsticks from Xie Tingzhou and asked, "Will Ge Liangji be beheaded at noon tomorrow?"

Xie Tingzhou said "Hmm" lightly and asked her, "Do you want some side dishes?"

"Eat." Shen Yu said, "But..."

Xie Tingzhou interrupted her, "Would you like pickles? It's appetizing."

"Yes." Shen Yu replied casually and said to herself, "I actually haven't said anything that night..."

Xie Tingzhou: "Do you want meatloaf?"

"Yes!" Shen Yu was anxious, "I..."

Xie Tingzhou: "Forget it, you are sick now and it will be difficult for the meat pie to be cured."

One is anxious and angry, the other is calm and calm.

Shen Yu's mind was not on eating at all. She waved her hand and said, "Forget it, you can eat whatever you want. I've been thinking about it for a long time..."

"Anything is fine..." Xie Tingzhou suddenly raised his eyes and asked, "Do you want me?"

"Yes!" Shen Yu nodded, and then said: "I have thought about it. Since Ge Liangji took over the matter with all his strength, he must have reached a consensus with someone. This person..."

She spoke slower and slower, and her voice became softer and quieter. From Xie Tingzhou's meaningful eyes, she gradually recalled what he had just asked and what she had answered.

Her heartbeat gradually accelerated, as if it was about to jump out of her chest uncontrollably. Shen Yu suddenly pressed her chest.

"Do you feel uncomfortable?" Xie Tingzhou asked.

Shen Yu shook her head.

Xie Tingzhou lowered his eyes and saw that her fingertips turned white when pinched on the chopsticks. He reached out and took the chopsticks over and stuffed a spoon into her hand.

She was so nervous that Xie Tingzhou was no longer prepared to say anything else.

He said calmly: "Put Ge Liangji's matter aside for now, fill your stomach first, and I will let you meet someone later."

Shen Yu nodded, looking so well-behaved, and scooped out a big spoonful of porridge with her head lowered.

Just as she was about to stuff it into her mouth, Xie Tingzhou grabbed her hand and said, "It's hot."

Shen Yu couldn't remember exactly what she ate during this meal and how it tasted. She could only stuff it into her mouth.
