Chapter 86 Protecting One's Own
Before Gu Peiyan could refuse, Wei Dongning gave up first: "Forget it, if I go to find someone for you now, they probably won't be back for a while. I'll prepare some things to warm you up. Hang in there."
Before Gu Peiyan could react, she had already turned around and rushed out.
They even thoughtfully closed the door to keep the cold wind out.
"Qianrong, you stay here and watch over your young master. Xiaofu, go to the kitchen and have them prepare some soup to warm you up, then go and fetch a doctor. Be quick."
"Okay lady."
"Yes, young lady."
Although Xiao Fu and Qian Rong didn't quite understand why she wasn't staying inside at this time, they still chose to follow her arrangements.
Gu Peiyan huddled in the cold water, unsure how to describe her feelings.
It feels sour and bloated.
More than anything, I felt disappointed.
He wouldn't force Wei Dongning to stay and do things that would force her, but he didn't expect that Wei Dongning would actually want to find someone from outside to bring him back.
Gu Peiyan splashed a handful of cold water on her face.
Xiao Wu was a little surprised to see Wei Dongning return so quickly: "Why did you come back so fast? What happened?"
"Can't you see it?"
"I can only see Zhao Xinyi drugging him, I can't see what happens after he comes back." Xiao Wu scratched his head: "We have rules, you know. Except in special circumstances, the following content on the neck cannot be viewed."
Wei Dongning choked, not expecting their system to be so sophisticated.
She had no choice but to recount what had just happened: "The key thing is that I didn't expect him to come back and soak in cold water instead of going to see a doctor after taking the Chinese medicine. It's too late to go see a doctor now, isn't it? You have no idea how he looked at me, like he wanted to devour me alive."
"He...you...you two are husband and wife, it's normal for you to help him with the antidote, right..."
"I...I forgot." Wei Dongning stammered, picking at her index finger. "Besides, I wasn't prepared either."
Once she felt the heat in her body finally subside, Gu Peiyan struggled to stand up, holding onto the edge of the bathtub, and grabbed some dry clothes to put on.
Then he called out to the outside, "Qianrong."
Gu Peiyan's voice was hoarse; if it weren't for the sound of rushing water, Qian Rong would have wondered if he was hallucinating: "Young Master, did you call me?"
"Um, help me up."
Just standing firm had exhausted all his strength.
Qian Rong carefully helped Gu Peiyan walk slowly towards the main house, and didn't forget to tell him, "The young mistress has already asked Sister Xiao Fu to fetch a doctor. She also asked the kitchen to make ginger soup and keep it warm on the stove. I'll bring it over in a bit."
Gu Peiyan squeezed out a soft "hmm" from her throat.
The constant pain in his brain slowed his reactions, and he didn't actually hear a word Qian Rong said.
All he wanted to do right now was get back to his room and get some rest in bed.
Then think about how to deal with the Zhao family next.
Wei Dongning saw Qian Rong supporting Gu Peiyan, whose face was pale, and stepped forward to take her away: "Go and bring the soup over, I'll take care of things here."
Gu Peiyan's muscles tensed for a moment when she heard her voice, but quickly relaxed.
He let Wei Dongning help him lie down on the bed.
Qianrong brought in the ginger soup, which was still steaming hot.
The strong smell of ginger made Wei Dongning sniff, and she helped Gu Peiyan up again: "Don't sleep yet, drink this."
Gu Peiyan obediently took the bowl from Wei Dongning's hand. Although she was a little unsteady, she still drank the ginger soup in one gulp.
Wei Dongning gently wiped the water droplets from the corner of his mouth with a handkerchief.
Xiao Wu jumped over and teased her, "I thought you would feed him medicine mouth-to-mouth."
"Read fewer novels. He has a cold, and if I catch it too, who will take care of whom?"
Gu Peiyan fell into a deep sleep after drinking the ginger soup.
The doctor Xiao Fu brought back prescribed medicine and gave some instructions before leaving.
Gu Song also came over to take a look.
He said nothing, shook his head, and left.
This left Wei Dongning completely confused.
Without a second thought, Wei Dongning instructed Xiao Fu, "Xiao Fu, go to the palace and invite the Second Prince here."
Hmph, just because she doesn't have the ability to deal with the Zhao family doesn't mean she won't call for reinforcements.
Xiao Wu fired a confetti cannon: "Domineering Ningbao protects her husband online!"
"What skincare? Where can I find skincare products?"
"Phonetic puns will result in a fine!!!"
Wei Dongning chuckled lightly: "If someone bullies me, no one can say anything if I take revenge, right?"
Gu Peiyan lay on the bed, her face pale, her brows still tightly furrowed.
Wei Dongning placed her hand on his forehead, feeling the unusually high temperature in her palm: "Why is he still so hot?"
"He soaked in ice water for more than half an hour, and it was the dead of winter. It's a miracle he didn't get brain damage from the fever."
"Sigh." Wei Dongning brought a basin of cold water, soaked a handkerchief, and placed it on his forehead.
The cool touch made Gu Peiyan groan comfortably, and she unconsciously grabbed her hand and wouldn't let go.
Ignoring the fact that he was a patient, Wei Dongning was genuinely charmed by his cuteness.
"Hey, you called me over, but you two are sleeping like the soundest of dreams." Su Yizhuo's loud voice rang out from the doorway.
Wei Dongning shuddered in fright.
It took her a long time to realize why Su Yizhuo had come over after opening her eyes.
After tucking the blanket around Gu Peiyan again to make sure his fever had subsided, he and Su Yizhuo went to the outer room.
"What's wrong with him? How come he fell ill after just one day?"
"I called you here because of this. That father and daughter from the Zhao family drugged him." Wei Dongning was furious when she brought it up.
If it weren't for those two men, she wouldn't have to serve anyone.
Su Yizhuo raised an eyebrow, quite satisfied that Gu Peiyan hadn't forced Wei Dongning: "I've already sent people to investigate. I estimate that in a few days, his family will never be able to recover."
Wei Dongning hummed in agreement, but decided to give him a hint: "There's an inconspicuous gambling den in the south of the city. You can start your investigation there."
"Do you know something?" Su Yizhuo looked her up and down. "You seem to have grown up quite a bit."
Wei Dongning didn't reveal all the information Xiao Wu had given her, since there was a lot of information she couldn't access.
She used the excuse that she had heard of the gambling den in the south of the city because the Gu family owned a shop there, and that's how she brushed off Su Yizhuo.
"Cough cough cough," Gu Peiyan woke up at some point, propped herself up, her voice hoarse: "On the day of the court session, I plan to present a memorial to Zhao Anmin, and I hope the Second Prince can help me."
Su Yizhu nudged Wei Dongning's arm and said in a low voice, "Doesn't his voice sound like 'Baojuan, my voice' right now?"
Wei Dongning had to clear her head several times to stop herself from laughing.
The main reason is that Su Yizhuo's imitation is really similar.
Having made enough of a scene, Su Yizhuo agreed with Gu Peiyan's statement: "I will send someone to deliver a copy of what we found in the past two days. You should take good care of your health so that you don't still look sickly when you go to court."
After seeing Su Yizhu off, Wei Dongning sat down next to Gu Peiyan.
She helped him pull the blanket back up, saying, "Nao Nao is right, you need to get better first."
"Mm." Gu Peiyan responded, her gaze towards Wei Dongning somewhat complicated.
