1323 I will accompany you (come in and eat candy!)

Shen Lie was so busy that he couldn't seem to stop.

After bringing an ice handkerchief to cover her forehead, he went to bring medicine and food, and then a basin of warm water.

He had read in her book that if the body temperature is hot, it is best to wipe the neck, inner elbows of the arms, and the base of the legs and calfs with warm water.

He was inconvenient to wipe it for her and asked if he wanted to call a maid over.

Xia Zhaoyi wrinkled her little face and sat blankly on the bed, showing no reaction.

Shen Lie looked at her for a long time and said in a low voice: "Ali?"

Xia Zhaoyi raised her eyes to look at him and said dryly: "Am I drunk?"

Shen Lie was silent for a moment and said, "A little tipsy."

"It's my fault," Xia Zhaoyi said in annoyance, "Northwestern wine is strong, not Nuerhong. The imperial concubine's drunkenness can match it. I should have some sense of propriety."

Shen Lie sat back on the bed and said seriously: "Zhan Ning said that you only drank three bowls in total. It's because Tianrongwei and the others were late."

Xia Zhaoyi looked at him again and said: "Three big bowls, you say you are talented and you also say you are tipsy."

"..."

"So, what happened to Jilaifang later?"

"Two gangs demolished Jilaifang and entered the palace."

Xia Zhaoyi smiled softly: "The Naijun Restaurant across from us has been raided, right?"

Her smile was playful and cunning, and Shen Lie was also amused. He smiled and nodded: "Yeah."

"What about you," Xia Zhaoyi looked at him, "when did you come back?"

Shen Lie was stunned and suddenly felt a little bitter. It seemed that she didn't remember anything.

"I accidentally discovered the people from Beiyuan, so I followed them all the way. I heard the word Jilaifang from their mouths, so I went to Jilaifang, where I met you, Shi Guoxin, and Zhan Ning." Shen

Lie said.

Xia Zhaoyi fell into memories and raised her hand to rub her head again.

Shen Lie's heart tightened: "Is it still uncomfortable?"

The girl said nonchalantly: "That's how illness is. Once your body gets over it, you'll be fine. By the way, I have to go to the palace."

Shen Lie touched her forehead and said in a deep voice: "Ah Li, being sick is not a trivial matter. You have a good rest these days. If you ask me anything, I will go."

Xia Zhaoyi still wanted to get out of bed, but Shen Lie's movements blocked her. They were not strong, but they perfectly blocked her feet from landing.

Afraid that she would catch cold, Shen Lie pulled the quilt to cover her completely in one breath, and also wrapped her back. Her thin body seemed to have suddenly sunk into a big dumpling, and her face looked even more delicate.

"Shen Lie," Xia Zhaoyi frowned, "I'm not that sick."

"Everyone gets sick, and you should rest when you are sick." Shen Lie's black eyes were extremely serious.

The two of them were too close, and the Du Ruo faintly floated on him, clear and sweet, with a hint of bitterness.

Xia Zhaoyi pursed her lips lightly, as if there was some memory in her mind that was wrapped in layers of petals. Now, this memory was about to peel off the tender petals and poke its head out.

"I... seem to have had a dream." Xia Zhaoyi looked at Shen Lie without blinking and said softly, with a slight blush on her cheeks.

"What dream?" Shen Lie's voice became softer and his dark eyes became darker.

Xia Zhaoyi thought for a while, then suddenly paused and said in surprise: "Did I fall into the pit?"

"..."

Xia Zhaoyi lowered his head and pushed the quilt away, looked at the middle coat on his body, then looked up at Shen Lie, his beautiful bright eyes slightly widened: "These clothes are not mine."

"The servants changed it because...you sweated a lot and your clothes got wet."

Shen Lie rarely lied, let alone lying in front of her. He even stuttered in his voice.

Xia Zhaoyi fell into deep thought again, staring blankly at the quilt in front of her.

"Ah Li..." Shen Lie tried to say something else.

"Oh, it's nothing actually," Xia Zhaoyi exhaled, "If you fall into the latrine, just fall into the latrine. Anyway, I don't remember anything. It's the servants who have worked so hard. Their noses must be uncomfortable."

Shen Lie thinks it's a good thing that she can be so open-minded...

Although she completely guessed in the wrong direction.

"I'm a little lost now," Xia Zhaoyi raised his head and smiled at Shen Lie, "The words may be very confusing. What did you just say?"

"You said, you seem to have had a dream." Shen Lie looked at her with his dark eyes encouragingly.

"No, it's not...I remembered, it's to enter the palace."

"..."

After a pause, Shen Lie said helplessly: "Do you have to go?"

"I'm going to give Lu Mingfeng the final blow," Xia Zhaoyi's voice became deeper, "I've been waiting for this day for a long time."

"I'll go with you." Shen Lie said.

Xia Zhaoyi paused and looked into his eyes.

The man's dark eyes stared back at him, full of power: "I know I can't stop you, so just let me go with you."

Xia Zhaoyi opened her mouth. Before she saw him, she had so many things to say to him. After seeing him, why were all the words stuck in her throat.

Shen Lie raised his hand again and gently touched her forehead with his slender finger bones. It still felt the same hot touch.

"Ah Li, it's really hot." Shen Lie said helplessly.

Xia Zhaoyi suddenly raised her hand and suppressed his palm, preventing him from taking it off.

"Your fingers are very comfortable..." Xia Zhaoyi looked into his eyes, as soft as the sound of mosquitoes, "Just stick it for a while."

Shen Lie looked down at her, slightly hooked his lips, and smiled lightly: "Okay."

Xia Zhaoyi couldn't help but laugh too. At such a close distance, the bridge of his nose was really straight and straight, as if it were being cut by a knife.

The dim skylight outside made his skin look very white, and against this snow-white background, he became a shining brilliance.

From the first moment she saw him, Xia Zhaoyi knew that he was good-looking. With such a handsome and unparalleled face, no one could compare to her, whether in her previous life or this life.

But with this closer distance, why do I feel that his good looks have reached a new level?

Maybe it's his eyes, helpless and pampering, as deep as the sea and as calm as the moon.

Xia Zhaoyi suddenly felt that her heartbeat became very fast and she felt a little shy, but she still kept looking into his eyes without avoiding them.

And her eyes, which were raised upward, were bright and filled with a slight smile, falling into the deep black eyes. After all, she had to use all her restraint to prevent herself from suddenly lowering her head to kiss him.

A knock on the door suddenly sounded.

Xia Zhaoyi and Shen Lie paused and looked towards the door at the same time.

Ye Zheng's voice was very low, like a thief: "Master, Master..."

Seeing Shen Lie just looking at him, motionless, Xia Zhaoyi let go of his hand: "Ye Zheng is looking for you."

Shen Lie looked sideways at her, stood up, wrung out the handkerchief in the warm water and put it on her forehead.

"The water is a little cold, but the temperature is still good. You can lie down for a while and we will go together later."

His soft and clear voice made Xia Zhaoyi feel like she was being transformed by him.

She stretched out her hand to hold the handkerchief and nodded: "Okay."

Shen Lie looked at her deeply and turned to leave.

Xia Zhaoyi's dark and bright eyes glanced upward, looking at the looming handkerchief on his forehead.

She stuck out her tongue and licked her lips. She had just taken the medicine, and it was still bitter. Why did she feel sweet in her heart?
