By the time Mu Yunhan woke up, it was already the next morning.
Her whole body ached, especially her neck. It hurt even to breathe, and her throat was so dry that it was smoking.
She knew she had a fever.
"Water..." She shouted weakly, but Xiao Mi came in to take care of her, and Mu Ying was nowhere to be seen.
Mu Yunhan was a little angry. He frowned and was about to struggle to get up to get some water for himself when he heard a soft knock on the door and a tall figure walked in.
Gu Fenglin rushed over to help her, his handsome eyebrows furrowed: "What's wrong with you?"
Mu Yunhan didn't want to speak, so he pointed at the cup.
Gu Fenglin poured a glass of water, held her head and fed it to her carefully.
The water temperature is just right, neither too cold nor too hot. Add a little bit of honey and medicine to make it sweet, quench your thirst and nourish you.
Mu Yunhan drank three glasses in one go, then leaned in Gu Fenglin's arms and stared at him.
He was dusty, his clothes still had a faint smell of dust, his chin was slightly blue, and there were faint blue shadows under his eyes.
Apparently he didn't sleep all night, so he rushed to the capital after receiving the news.
He frowned, and there was a bit of sadness in his eyes. So many things happened to his family overnight, so he had to be worried.
Mu Yunhan wanted to ask him if he had eaten, but found that he could only make a very low and weak sound. If he continued, he would not be able to bear it anymore and the pain would be severe.
Fortunately, she and Gu Fenglin had the same mind, and he understood with a gesture: "I've eaten, I'm fine. I'll take care of the rest, so I can rest in peace and recover."
Xiaomi brought water in and handed over a clean handkerchief. Gu Fenglin took the handkerchief and wiped it carefully with Mu Yunhan.
He was very careful every time, as if he would scratch her skin with any force.
Mu Yunhan pointed to the area around his neck and asked him to focus on cleaning.
The weather was hot, and she sweated a lot in her sleep. She was sticky and uncomfortable.
Gu Fenglin stared at her wound and didn't move for a long time.
Mu Yunhan was in a daze due to the fever, and couldn't help but wonder, would it leave a terrible scar? Would he dislike her?
She raised her hand to touch the wound, but Gu Fenglin held her hand down.
He knew what she was thinking: "Don't touch it randomly, it will be fine. Be careful not to get infected, otherwise there is no guarantee."
Mu Yunhan's eyes were filled with tears, feeling wronged and sad.
She is not a person who loves to feel wronged and shed tears. When he is not around, she can bleed without shedding tears.
But when I see him, I always feel wronged and want to cry, and the wound hurts several times more.
Gu Fenglin sighed, leaned down and hugged her tightly, stroking her back gently.
Mu Ying's coughing sound came from outside the door: "The porridge is ready."
Gu Fenglin then stood up and helped Mu Yunhan sit up: "Come in."
Mu Ying came in with porridge and a few side dishes, and said, "Eat first, while the medicine is brewing. You'll have it soon."
Gu Fenglin watched Mu Yunhan eat a few mouthfuls of porridge, and someone came to him outside to discuss the funeral arrangements for Gu Fengyuan and Mrs. Gu.
At such a sensitive time, it would not be a smart thing to publicize in front of the Qi delegation that two people in the Gu family died at the same time.
Even if everyone knows that this matter has nothing to do with the people of Qi, and the people of Qi also know that they are lying, they still have to lie.
It was out of this consideration that the emperor chose to end the life of Mr. Gu at Guhou Mansion.
This is really an embarrassing thing.
Mu Yunhan rushed Gu Fenglin away: "I'm fine. I think the palace will summon you later, so hurry up and get busy."
