Chapter 54 Pear Candy
The soup and medicine bowl reached the bottom, and Su Changle felt a bitter taste in his mouth. He groaned and even shed tears from the corners of his eyes.
Jiang Shen put the person back on the pillow and wanted to send the bowl away. As he stood up, he suddenly found that the corner of his clothes was being grabbed by someone.
Jiang Shen looked down and saw that it was indeed Su Changle's hand.
Her fingertips pinched the corner of Jiang Shen's clothes tightly, not letting him go at all.
Jiang Shen leaned forward and said, "I'll go find pears for you."
"Yeah." Su Changle let go of his hand.
Jiang Shen raised his eyebrows: This little girl is hard to fool when she's in such a coma.
Jiang Shen walked away with the medicine bowl. He opened the door and handed the medicine bowl to the maid standing outside, and asked casually: "Where can I buy pears in Jinling now?"
The maids have served Su Changle for a long time, so they naturally know Su Changle's habits.
"Don't worry, Princess, we have them in our house." The maids said, "The Princess likes to eat pears when she is sick, so in autumn, she keeps a lot of pears in the ice cellar and makes frozen pears.
I heard that this way of eating came from the north."
"Oh? That's it." Jiang Shen nodded, "Then bring some over, the princess wants to eat."
"yes."

Su Changle was half asleep with a fever. She seemed to have been forced to drink a lot of medicine in her sleep.
She felt uncomfortable, very uncomfortable, and she was covered in sweat.
"Hot..." Su Changle murmured, reaching out to pull the quilt away from his body, but someone seemed to be stopping him from doing so.
Su Changle opened his eyes in anger.
"Who is it?"
As soon as Su Changle spoke, she heard a hoarse voice coming from her throat. She was stunned, and then realized that she actually had a fever, a very high fever.
"The princess is awake?"
Jiang Shen had been sitting by the bed. Su Changle lifted the quilt, and Jiang Shen pulled it back for her. He pulled it several times, and Su Changle woke up.
"Um...this is my princess?" Su Changle was a little confused. She remembered that she brought Lu Jingyan back in the rain, and she was soaked all over. After she came back, she soaked herself in the bathtub.
Then……
And then...
There is no more.
"The princess had a high fever and fainted in the bathtub." Jiang Shen looked at the confusion on Su Changle's face and kindly explained for her.
After Jiang Shen said that, he turned around and brought her the frozen pear that had been placed beside him.
This frozen pear is black and hard when it was first served, but it has been thawing for a while and is now soft when you hold it.
"Frozen pear!" Su Changle struggled to get up.
Jiang Shen handed the plate with frozen pears and a spoon to Su Changle. She leaned on the bedside, took a spoonful of the frozen pears and swallowed it.
"Do you want to try it?" Su Changle felt that Jiang Shen must have never eaten it before, "It's delicious. You can't eat it anywhere else. It's only available here, the princess."
Jiang Shen shook his head lightly: "The princess has a sore throat, so she'd better say less."
"Oh." Su Changle ignored him and ate a pear completely.
After eating the pears, Su Changle ate some more porridge, finally held his nose and drank the medicine, then turned around and fell asleep again.
Su Changle had been resting on the outside of the bed, but now that he had moved inside, it was still warm outside.
Jiang Shen's body was already cold, so he felt a warmth when he lay where Su Changle had been lying just now.
He lay down along the spot where Su Changle was lying just now, and turned his head to look at the sniffling little girl.
She was obviously very uncomfortable, and even her nose was not well ventilated. She had a fever and was covered in sweat. Her feet were sometimes outside the quilt, and sometimes they were hidden inside the quilt.
It was a bit of a struggle coming and going.
Jiang Shen just looked at her intently, and suddenly thought of the dream he had two days ago.
Before the boy in the dream could get out of the peach forest, he heard the sound of someone coming from outside the peach forest. The boy stood there and watched the little girl being rescued.
That's all.
Thinking of this, he raised his hand and pinched Su Changle's nose. He looked at Su Changle's slightly open mouth because he was out of breath, and smiled.
--
"Good girl, my poor good girl, I don't know what happened these past two days. You two brothers and sisters are taking turns to be in the cold, which is really hard on our good girl..."
Su Changle fell asleep in a daze. Suddenly, he heard the noise in his ears and reluctantly opened his eyes.
"Good girl, you're awake! If you want to eat something, I'll let someone get it for you right now!"
Princess Jin looked at Su Changle who opened her eyes and quickly wiped the tears from her eyes. Prince Jin also stood behind Princess Jin, looking at the person lying on the bed with concern.
"It's just Feng Han. Who would go back and tell mother about such a trivial matter!"
"You girl! Why, you have to go back to the house to notify me if you can't be saved!" Princess Jin pretended to be angry when she heard this. She slapped Su Changle's hand hard, "You are such an adult, why do you still let me know?
Get yourself wet in the rain.”
"I forgot to bring an umbrella when I went out yesterday, and the wind and rain came hard, so I got wet."
"Okay, you can take a rest for a while." Princess Jin looked at Su Changle who was speaking energetically, brought the medicine over, and fed Su Changle the medicine herself.
After finishing the medicine, he stuffed a pear-flavored candy into her mouth.
"Mom, where is Jiang Shen?" Su Changle looked around and found that Jiang Shen was not in the room.
"He is quite obedient. When I came in just now, I saw him wiping your sweat. Now that he sees us coming, he consciously retreats."
"That's it." Su Changle drank the medicine, talked to Princess Jin for a while, and then asked Princess Jin to go back first, "Mother, if you stay here for a long time and you get infected by me, it's really not worth it.
That’s it, I’ll go back and see you after I get better, okay?”
Princess Jin originally wanted to stay with Su Changle for a while longer.
She was a little worried when she came today, but she was relieved when she saw that it was just the cold.
"Okay," Princess Jin looked at Su Changle and placed the candy box brought from the palace on the low table next to the bed. "When you are well, remember to go back to the palace. Mother will have someone prepare something delicious for you."
"Yeah, okay."
After the maid saw off Princess Jin, Su Changle suddenly asked: "Can the imperial doctor come to check your pulse today?"
"Not yet. Are you feeling uncomfortable in any way, Princess?" the maid asked quickly.
"No." Su Changle shook his head and ordered, "If the princess is sleeping when the imperial doctor comes today, she must be woken up."
"yes."

In the study, Jiang Shen stood at the window and looked at the sparrows outside. He watched the little sparrows chirping under the window, but he didn't feel noisy.
The weather is good today. There are big clouds in the sky. Jiang Shen can feel the sunshine shining on himself and know that it is a good day.
After the rain yesterday, the originally dry air has become much moister.
He looked at it and found that even the sparrows were more energetic than usual.
He reached out to pick up the small porcelain bowl next to him, opened the lid, pinched some millet grains and placed them outside the window. After a few moments, he spread them out on a small spread.
After yesterday, he asked the maid to fill a small bowl of millet and put it here.
The sparrows were jumping around him at first, and then they got closer and closer. Finally, they didn't care so much and flew directly to the window with their wings.
After eating a few mouthfuls, he raised his head and looked at Jiang Shen.
Eat a few more bites, then look up at Jiang Shen.
Jiang Shen found it interesting: "This bird is quite clever."
"Sir, there's a reply over there." Song Shi suddenly appeared behind Jiang Shen, holding a brocade box in his hand. He took a few steps forward and placed the brocade box on the table.
Jiang Shen turned around and walked to the table and opened the box.
There was nothing else in it, just a thick stack of silver notes, the value of which was quite large, enough for him to live in luxury at the princess's mansion for a month.
Jiang Shen looked through it and found that except for banknotes, there was no real estate shop or anything else that could prove the other party's identity.
There's no way to even start an investigation.
"Just give me some money..." Jiang Shen closed the box with a bit of regret, "It's really boring."
He originally thought that there would be some things that could make money, but he didn't expect that it was just these.
It's boring, it's really boring.
"Jianma." Suddenly a maid knocked on the door and said, "The princess is awake. Why don't you go over and take a look?"
"Okay." Jiang Shen replied. He put the brocade box on the bookshelf at the back without caring at all. He straightened his sleeves, opened the door and followed the maid to Su Changle's side.
As soon as he opened the door, he saw the imperial doctor sitting on the chair in the room.
It stands to reason that after the imperial doctor's routine check-up today, he can go back if there are no problems. Now that he is here, he is obviously waiting for someone.
Sure enough, as soon as Jiang Shen came in, Su Changle said relaxedly: "Jiang Shen, you're here just in time. Let the imperial doctor take a look at your eyes."
Although she no longer has a fever, her voice is still hoarse and it is very difficult to speak.
Su Changle had actually wanted the imperial doctor to look at Jiang Shen's eyes for a long time.
But she was afraid that she would take him to see her rashly, as if she cared about this matter very much. If it couldn't be cured, Jiang Shen might think that she was being disliked.
This is not possible.
This is absolutely not okay!
She didn't want Jiang Shen to have such speculation.
So she thought that today the imperial doctor came to help her diagnose her pulse, and Jiang Shen happened to be there. This was all a coincidence, not deliberate at all!
Su Changle was still a little nervous: he probably wouldn't think too much about it.
Don't think too much...
In fact, Jiang Shen didn't know how at all, or in other words, when he told Su Changle about the condition of his eyes, he was prepared for Su Changle to take him to see a doctor the next day.
To be able to survive to this day and use such a method to cover up, Su Changle has put a lot of effort into it.
