The Pretty Wife of General Jinxiu Huanian

Chapter 185 Never give up

That morning, just as the sky was getting light and the sun had not yet completely penetrated the clouds, the mansion became bustling with activity. The servants hurried to start their busy day.

Yunxi woke up slowly in the house, her head was dizzy and she felt weak all over, as if all her bones had been pulled out.

"Madam, are you awake?" Cui'er, the personal maid, came over quietly, with a look of concern on her face, and quickly reached out to help Yunxi up.

Yunxi leaned weakly against Cui'er and coughed several times. "I don't know why, but I feel so heavy today."

Her brows were furrowed and her face was pale.

Cui Er was extremely anxious, her eyes full of worry, "Madam, I will go get a doctor right away."

After saying that, he ran out in a hurry.

Soon, a doctor with a white beard came hurriedly, carrying a medicine box on his back.

After entering the room, the doctor sat down beside the bed, put his hand on Yunxi's wrist, and his brows furrowed more and more.

After a while, the doctor shook his head and said, "Madam, you have caught a cold. You need to take good care of yourself."

As soon as the words fell, hurried footsteps were heard. The prince strode into the room with a look of anxiety on his face, "How is the lady?"

Yunxi raised her eyes to look at the prince and forced a smile, "Don't worry, prince, it's just a minor ailment."

The prince sat beside the bed and held Yunxi's hand. "Madam, please rest well. I will always be with you."

A blush appeared on Yunxi's pale face, and her eyes were filled with surprise and shyness. "Your Highness, how could I possibly deserve such trouble from you?"

The prince smiled slightly, his smile like the warm spring sun, "Madam, what are you talking about? It is my duty to take care of you."

In the days that followed, the prince stayed by Yunxi's side. When Yunxi drank the medicine, the prince personally held the bowl and blew gently to cool it.

He looked serious, with his brows slightly furrowed and his eyes fixed on the medicine bowl, afraid of any negligence.

"Madam, come, drink slowly." The prince's eyes were full of concern.

Yunxi tilted her head slightly, and drank the medicine in small sips from the prince's hand. Every time she swallowed, she couldn't help but frown slightly.

The prince looked at her with sympathy and said quickly, "Madam, you have suffered so much. When you recover, I will take you to the lake."

Yunxi raised the corner of her mouth, "With your words, I will recover faster from this illness."

One afternoon, the sun shone brightly in the courtyard. Yunxi wanted to go out for some fresh air, so the prince carefully supported her.

"Madam, please walk slowly." The prince said softly. Yunxi smiled and said, "Prince, I am not that delicate."

The prince still didn't dare to relax and held Yunxi's arm tightly.

As they were walking, Wanru, the daughter of the Marquis's family, came over. She was wearing a pink dress, and the pearls and jade on her hair swayed gently with her steps.

"Greetings, Your Highness. Greetings, Madam Yunxi." Wanru bowed.

The prince nodded slightly, "Get up." Wanru stood up and looked at Yunxi, a complicated look flashing in her eyes, "Madam, please take care of yourself."

Yunxi said, "Thank you for your concern." Wanru forced a smile on her face, which looked a little forced, and then turned and left.

Yunxi looked at her back and sighed softly.

The prince asked, "Why is Madam sighing?" Yunxi frowned slightly, "Thinking back to the various entanglements with Wanru in the past, it's not easy for her to be like this now."

The prince patted Yunxi's hand gently and said, "Madam, you are kind-hearted. Let the past be the past."

Yunxi nodded slightly, "I understand, but I can't help but feel a little emotional."

The prince comforted him, "The past is in the past, don't think about it anymore."

After a few more days, Yunxi's condition still did not improve.

The wife of the Marquis came to visit with a group of concubines. She was dressed in a silk dress, her hair was combed into a sleek bun, her face was thickly powdered, and she walked into the house with a swaying waist.

She curled her lips and said sarcastically, "It's been a few days and he still hasn't gotten better. Don't let your illness get to the prince."

After saying that, he rolled his eyes.

When the prince heard this, his face immediately darkened, his brows furrowed tightly, and he glared angrily, "Madam is seriously ill, and instead of saying something to comfort her, you say this."

The wife of the Marquis was glared at by the prince, and her heart skipped a beat. She quickly smiled and said, "Prince, please calm down. I am also anxious."

But that smile was uglier than crying.

The prince ignored her and shouted, "Hurry up and leave! Stop causing trouble here."

The wife of the Marquis dared not say anything more and left with her concubines in a dejected manner, staggering a little as she left.

At night, Yunxi developed a high fever and kept talking nonsense.

"Hot, hot..." Her face was flushed, her brows were furrowed, and beads of sweat covered her forehead.

The prince was so anxious that he paced back and forth in the room, shouting loudly: "Quick, bring me an ice towel."

The maids were busy preparing, running out of breath.

The prince snatched the ice towel, sat down beside the bed, and gently wiped Yunxi's forehead.

His eyes were full of worry, and he kept muttering, "Madam, you must get better, you must get better."

"Madam, you will definitely get better." The prince murmured to himself.

He didn't dare to stop his hands for a moment and kept changing the ice towels.

After a night of tossing and turning, Yunxi's fever finally subsided. The prince finally breathed a sigh of relief. His eyes were bloodshot and he looked exhausted.

He leaned against the bed and fell asleep unknowingly.

Early in the morning, Yunxi woke up and saw the prince sleeping on the bed, her heart filled with heartache.

The prince's hair was a little messy and his clothes were wrinkled.

She gently stretched out her hand, wanting to touch the prince's face, but accidentally woke him up.

The prince suddenly opened his eyes, still a little confused. After seeing that it was Yunxi, he immediately perked up, "Madam, you are awake. Are you feeling better?"

Yunxi nodded, tears in her eyes, "Much better, Your Highness, you have worked hard."

The prince smiled and said, "As long as my wife can get better, everything I do will be worth it."

At this time, the young lady and the young master also came into the room.

The young lady rushed into the room and rushed to the bedside. Her eyes were red and her voice was filled with tears: "Mother, you are finally feeling better."

He looked like a frightened little rabbit, his face full of worry.

The young master followed behind, also looking anxious, his brows knitted into a knot. He quickly walked a few steps to the bedside and said, "Mother, you must get better soon."

Yunxi looked at her two children, her heart filled with warmth. She forced a smile on her face and said, "I'm sorry for worrying you."

In the following days, Yunxi's health gradually improved.

On this day, the sun shone brightly, illuminating the whole house.

Yunxi looked at the prince and said softly, "Prince, please accompany me to walk in the garden."

The prince quickly responded, "Okay, Madam." Then he reached out his hand to support Yunxi.

They walked hand in hand into the garden, where the flowers were blooming in riotous glory, red, pink and purple, one after another.

Butterflies flutter up and down among the flowers like naughty children.

Yunxi closed her eyes and took a deep breath. Her face was full of intoxication as she said, "It's been a long time since I breathed fresh air so freely."

The prince looked at Yunxi tenderly, reached out his hand to smooth the hair by her ear, and said, "Madam, please take better care of yourself in the future and don't let me and the children worry anymore."

As he was speaking, the housekeeper Li Fu came trotting over, panting. When he got to the front, he said breathlessly, "Your Majesty, Madam, someone is coming from the palace."

The prince and Yunxi looked at each other, both with puzzled expressions on their faces.

The prince frowned and Yunxi pursed her lips.

Then, the two of them hurried to the front hall. There, they saw a eunuch standing there, his back straight and his face serious.

When the eunuch saw the prince and Yunxi, he quickly bowed and said in a shrill voice, "Prince, Madam, the emperor heard that you were ill and specially gave you some tonics."

The prince and Yunxi hurriedly thanked him. The prince bowed and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern and care."

Yunxi also bowed slightly.

After sending the eunuch away, Yunxi said, "The emperor is really thoughtful."

The prince said, "I think he is thinking of my merits."

After that, Yunxi gradually recovered, and the prince still cared for her very much.

One day, Yunxi was embroidering in her room when the prince walked in.

The prince was wearing a dark blue brocade robe and a jade belt around his waist. He strode into the house with a smile on his face.

"Madam, what is this embroidered?" the prince asked curiously. As he spoke, he moved closer to Yunxi and leaned over to look at her.

Yunxi smiled and said, "I'm embroidering a sachet for the prince." Yunxi's eyebrows were curved, the corners of her mouth were raised, and her hands were sewing non-stop. She looked like a flower blooming in spring, exuding a soothing beauty.

The prince's eyes were full of joy, "Madam is so thoughtful." As he said that, the prince reached out and gently held Yunxi's hand, his eyes full of tenderness.

Just then, there was a commotion outside. The prince frowned, his eyes widening. "Go out and see what's going on."

As he said that, he shook off Yunxi's hand and strode out. Yunxi also hurriedly stood up and followed him out.

It turned out that two servants were arguing over a trivial matter. One of the servants blushed and shouted at the top of his voice: "This is clearly my job, why are you taking it away?"

The other servant was not to be outdone and replied with his neck stiff, "Who said it's yours and I can't do it?"

The prince shouted angrily, "It's unbecoming to make such a noise in the Marquis's mansion! Take them all away and punish them severely."

The sound made people's ears buzz.

Yunxi hurried forward, tugged at the prince's sleeve, and said, "Prince, perhaps they were impulsive at the moment. Please forgive them this time."

Yunxi had a pleading look on her face and her eyes were full of kindness.

The prince looked at Yunxi, then at the two servants. After a moment of silence, he said, "Since Madam has pleaded for mercy, I will forgive you this time. Don't do it again next time."

The two servants quickly knelt down and kowtowed in thanks, saying, "Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you, Madam. We will never do that again."

After this incident, the prince and Yunxi returned to their room. The prince sat down and drank a sip of tea, saying, "Madam, you are kind-hearted, but the rules of this mansion cannot be violated."

Yunxi nodded gently and replied, "Your Highness is right, but we should be merciful when we can."

The prince laughed heartily, took Yunxi's hand and said, "Madam is indeed very thoughtful."

In the days that followed, the prince still came to see Yunxi early every day to ask about her well-being.

Yunxi also took good care of the affairs of the mansion, and the two of them respected each other and lived in harmony.

The days passed peacefully, and the prince's deep affection for Yunxi never changed.
