Nian Nian was awakened by a rustling movement. She rubbed her eyes with a splitting headache, and looked out through the gap in the closet. The sky was completely dark outside, the faint moonlight shone through the torn window paper, and everything in the room was hazy.

The black crow’s tree was printed on the window paper. It was very quiet around. Even the wind had stopped. There was a dark shadow on the wooden bed in the corner. The movement came from there.

Nian Nian couldn’t see clearly. With a flash of inspiration, she took out a night pearl from her baggage. She held it and approached Xiao Yi. Under the faint light, she saw the little guy breathing heavily, his complexion was red, and his body convulsed slightly.

Next to him, Teng Yuanzhou was lying on the edge of the bed, sleeping soundly.

Nian Nian was speechless, she reached out and checked Xiao Yi’s forehead, only to feel that it was too hot. She knew that the situation was so bad to just hide her whereabouts. She stretched out her hand and woke up Teng Yuanzhou.

Teng Yuanzhou woke up suddenly, and when he saw a little girl in front of him, he was so scared that he almost cried out.

Nian Nian waved her hand to him and whispered, “Don’t shout. He has a fever, go get some cold water.” 

In the middle of the night, there was nowhere to find a doctor, so she had to think about cooling him down.

She had a calm attitude, a firm tone, and a convincing power. Teng Yuanzhou responded blankly, immediately jumped up and ran out.

Nian Nian looked at Xiao Yi worriedly, and suddenly caught a glimpse of the medicine bottle on the bedside from the corner of her eye.It was the medicine Teng Yuanzhou brought. She opened the medicine bottle and looked at it, and after smelling it, she determined that the bottle of medicine had two kinds of medicines, one for external use and the other was for internal use. After pouring out one pill for internal use, she turned to Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yi was in a coma with his teeth closed.

Nian Nian pinched him hard, and called out, “Xiao Yi, wake up!”

After a few tries, Xiao Yi finally opened his eyes slowly, the originally black and bright phoenix eyes were watery, as if out of focus. He looked at Nian Nian in confusion.

Nian Nian brought the pill to his mouth, “Eat it.”

Xiao Yi frowned and looked at her. His thin, pale lips were so red as if it had been smeared with grease. After a while, he seemed to have finally realized the situation in front of him and slowly opened his mouth.

Nian Nian put the pill into his mouth, only to feel that his breathing was astonishingly hot. She didn’t hesitate anymore, she directly stretched out her hand to lift the thin quilt, and then lifted the previously torn clothes on his body.

Xiao Yi seemed to be confused, and was motionless, letting her do what she wanted.

“What are you doing?” There was a sound of anger at the door, Teng Yuanzhou came back with a bucket of water. Upon seeing the scene, he rushed over.

Nian Nian didn’t turn, she only said, “You came back on time. Find a handkerchief to soak in water and wipe every joint on his body.”

Teng Yuanzhou was puzzled, “What are you doing?”

Nian Nian rolled up Xiao Yi’s sleeves and replied faintly, “Help him reduce his fever.”

Teng Yuanzhou said, “Aren’t we supposed to cover him with a few more layers of quilt to let him sweat?” His voice gradually lowered under Nian Nian’s firm and bright eyes, and he muttered, “It’s the method left by the ancestors…”

Nian Nian sneered, “You can use that method if you want him to die soon.”

Teng Yuanzhou hesitated, “But…”

“Do as she says,” Xiao Yi’s hoarse voice sounded weak.

Hearing that, Teng Yuanzhou no longer hesitated. But he couldn’t find his handkerchief, so Nian Nian gave him hers.

The two worked together, tossing for most of the night, and then helped Xiao Yi take the medicine again. The heat on Xiao Yi’s body finally subsided, and she fell exhaustedly.

Teng Yuanzhou checked Xiao Yi’s forehead, took a long sigh of relief, and looked at Nian Nian gratefully, “Thank you.”

Nian Nian also breathed a sigh of relief: Xiao Yi was burning, it was really dangerous. She relaxed, only to feel tired and sleepy.

The body was young and injured, so she couldn’t stay up all night.

She rubbed her eyes without taking credit, “It’s thanks to the medicine you brought.”

Teng Yuanzhou scratched his head and smiled shyly. He looked at the night pearl on the bed, Xiao Yi, then Nian Nian back and forth. After a while, he couldn’t help it, and asked, “What is the name of the girl, and why is she here? Are you, are you the princess’s maid who ran away?”

Nian Nian was taken aback: Does Teng Yuanzhou not know her?

She raised her eyebrows and asked curiously, “If yes, are you going to report me?”
