Both of them did not speak. There was only the sound of the wind and the horse's hooves on the ground.
The city gate was wide open and there were no pedestrians on the streets. She galloped to the entrance of the district headquarters.
Lifting him off the horse, Da Bai ran to the front of the servant's door and looked at him disdainfully.
The servant felt pressured. He grabbed White's reins and brought it to the stable.
Jiang Pengji had a smooth journey. She entered her room in the backyard of the district headquarters. She shouted on the way.
"Go get the doctor!"
There were no skilled doctors in Xiangyang District, but they hired a few later. Jiang Pengji even allocated a medical center for them.
They could take in apprentices and be the in-house doctors. They would take turns to be on duty. The operation was similar to a hospital.
The doctors were hired by Jiang Pengji with a high salary. The medical center was also the district headquarters' property.
The doctors worked for the government and received a high salary. Except for a very few people, they would not visit the people's houses for consultation. If the people were sick, they would come and ask for medicine. This was much more efficient than the doctors visiting the people's houses to treat them.
The servants in the district headquarters heard this and quickly sent someone to invite the doctor who was on day off.
Jiang Pengji used her leg to open the door and placed Wei Ci on the bed. She started a few charcoal pots and the room became warm quickly.
Taxue rushed over when she heard the news. She was almost scared to death by the strange man on Jiang Pengji's bed.
She stammered, "Lang … Langjun … this is …"
"A good friend. I met him when I went hunting today. He's very sick." Jiang Pengji said indifferently, "Get someone to bring some hot water and prepare some clean and warm clothes …"
Although Wei Ci was thin, his frame was the standard of a normal man. He was wider than Jiang Pengji.
But he was so thin that he could barely fit Jiang Pengji's clothes.
After a while, the doctor who was on day off rushed over with a medical box.
He first greeted Jiang Pengji, then sat down and checked Wei Ci's pulse.
The doctors Jiang Pengji hired were all capable and worthy of the salary she paid.
In a short while, the doctor had figured out Wei Ci's condition.
"He won't die, right?" Jiang Pengji asked.
Wei Ci, who was pretending to be dead, raised his eyebrows. He still did not dare to open his eyes.
The doctor's hand that was stroking his beard paused.
He laughed and said, "I won't. Looking at his pulse, this Langjun's bones were slightly cold. Previously, he had not recovered from a serious illness and had some lingering symptoms. Later, he had worked hard and was physically and mentally exhausted. He did not have a good rest. Now that he was seriously ill, it was actually a good thing. The hidden illness had been drawn out. Therefore, although Langjun's illness seems to be dangerous, if you take good care of yourself, you will be better off than before. "
Jiang Pengji asked, "How?"
The doctor wrote out a prescription and listed all the herbs in detail. He also warned her about the areas that she needed to pay attention to.
"As the saying goes, food is better than medicine. When Langjun's body recovers, you can adjust your body with a medicated diet."
Every medicine had its side effects. Wei Ci could not afford to go through too much trouble.
Jiang Pengji said, "It's good to eat nutritious food. It can also make people fatter."
He asked someone to take the prescription to the clinic and get the medicine. A maid came in with a few basins of hot water.
Suddenly, the livestream viewers had an ominous feeling.
With a clap, the screen went dark. No, she turned off the livestream.
The viewers were all dumbfounded. Jiang Pengji stretched her hand to Wei Ci's waist and prepared to pull off the belt.
"You …" Wei Ci could not bear it anymore. He suddenly opened his eyes.
He raised his hand and wanted to stop her, but it was difficult for him to even speak, let alone stop Jiang Pengji.
"Don't worry. Who would like that body of yours?" Jiang Pengji said disdainfully, "This is the inner court. There are no other men except me. Are you planning to let other maids help you wipe? You have to get my permission, right? Tsk, I didn't expect you to have such thoughts … "
Although Wei Ci was skinny, he was still an adult man. Ordinary maids could not help him. Otherwise, she would not have done it.
Wei Ci's cheeks were flushed with anger. "I didn't …"
"Okay, I got it. Don't move." Jiang Pengji did not even blink. She removed his clothes quickly and made him sit up and lean against her. She used a hot towel to wipe him …
Seeing his upper body clearly, Jiang Pengji could not help but sigh. He was so skinny that only his bones were left. His ribs could be seen …
After wiping him with hot water, he changed into new clothes. It was warmer this way. If he lay directly on the bed, he would not know when he would warm up.
Jiang Pengji's mouth was vicious. She said, "Fortunately, you can still speak. Otherwise, I would have thought you were a corpse."
The temperature of his skin was very low. Although it was not as cold as a corpse, it was enough to make one shiver.
Wei Ci was extremely embarrassed and annoyed. He simply closed his eyes and allowed her to help him change into a brand-new inner garment and a thick woolen shirt. Compared to the bone-piercing cold just now, he slowly felt the warmth. He could also slowly feel his limbs.
After a while, two basins of hot water were changed. Wei Ci's pale face was stained with blood.
Seeing his behavior, Jiang Pengji crossed her arms in front of her chest and said, "Why are you so shy? In terms of figure, you don't look much better. You're so skinny that only your bones are left. What do you think I will do to you? You don't have to look like a little wife who has been molested … "
He looked aggrieved and made her look like a beast.
"Langjun, the medicine is ready." Taxue's voice came from outside the room.
Jiang Pengji sat by the bed. Hearing the voice, she raised her head and said calmly, "Come in."
Looking at it, she unfolded a set of mattresses that was folded on the side of the bed and covered Wei Ci with another layer.
With two layers of thick quilts covering him, Wei Ci almost could not breathe.
"Don't sit up. Just turn your body slightly and drink the medicine. Otherwise, it will be cold one moment and hot the next to prevent your condition from worsening. "
Taxue entered the room and found that Jiang Pengji still had an indifferent expression, while the unfamiliar Langjun was embarrassed and angry.
Wei Ci sniffed the smell of the medicine and knew that it was a good medicine for his condition. He closed his eyes and swallowed it, no matter how bitter it was.
Slowly drinking the medicine, Wei Ci raised his head and found that she was sitting by the bed with her head lowered. Beside her hand was a pile of official documents.
She did not pay attention to Wei Ci from evening to night, which made him secretly feel relieved and less awkward.
When the lights were turned on, Taxue came over and asked if he wanted a new mattress.
Jiang Pengji said, "No need."
Wei Ci had slept in the afternoon. His brain was still a little heavy and his thinking was slow.
When he came to his senses, he almost broke out in a cold sweat. "You …"
Jiang Pengji slightly squinted her eyes and asked him with a smile, "Aren't you my strategist?"
Wei Ci replied, "That's exactly what I mean."
"In order to show respect, don't we all have the habit of sleeping with our feet touching each other's to show respect?"
Jiang Pengji smiled and whispered in his ear. Wei Ci's body stiffened.
She never knew that the bed could be so cold.
"You've been lying there for the whole afternoon. Why are you still so cold?"
Wei Ci held back his emotions and asked her, "What exactly do you want to do?"
"I originally wanted to sleep in the bed. Who knew that you're still so cold after lying there for the whole afternoon …" Jiang Pengji looked at Wei Ci with a reproachful gaze. The latter was speechless. She said, "Don't be so nervous. Even if you're healthy, what can you do to me? Sleep better. Otherwise, I don't want to wake up and find that I killed someone. "
Wei Ci was silent for a long time and said, "Gossip is a fearful thing."
