At this time, no one in the village knew that Ji Jiu was sick. Because Butler Kang was afraid that they would cause too much panic, he did not tell the village headman. After all, in a few days, their young lady should be fine. It's still not too late to wait for her to recover before talking. They are capable of doing anything. We have to help each other do it first.
Prince Jun finished his orders and sat in the room watching over Ji Jiu with concern. Her face was completely pale from the fever. He could only caress her head gently with a look of concern in his eyes like he had never seen before. He wanted her to hurry up and get up to eat and take medicine. Her fever will go down somewhat. But it's been half a day and she still hasn't woken up. It made him even more worried about her.
Ji Jiu was asleep in her previous life's dream. She could only cry and apologize to her father and mother for being ungrateful. and tried to reach out to them for the warm embrace she had received as a child. But no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't grab them.
Prince Prince saw her delirium and felt sorry for him. He held her in his arms and gently rubbed her back, saying comforting words to her.
"Ji Jiu, don't cry. I'm here now. You still have me." He kept repeating his words to let her know.
Ji Jiu didn't know that this embrace was not her mother or father, but the warmth she received finally calmed her down. Until the afternoon She regained consciousness and opened her eyes, only to find herself falling into Prince Jun's embrace.
"Um, are you awake? How are you Do you have a headache?" Prince Jun regained consciousness following Ji Jiu. He hugged her until she fell asleep as well. When I felt movement from the person in my embrace So he opened his eyes and asked her.
"No, Your Majesty, why are you hugging me like this? If someone saw this, what would I do?" Ji Jiu, who had never been close to a man before in both her previous life and this life. She acted out of place when he suddenly came closer to her. Ji Jiu's face was red, he didn't know if it was from the fever or from embarrassment.
"I saw you were delirious from a fever. I'm very worried about you, do you know that? So I had to hold you like this until you calmed down. And then I fell asleep following you. After all, I intend to marry you. If anyone sees it, what the heck? You don't think too much." Prince Jun once again stated his intentions to Ji Jiu.
Ji Jiu, who had not yet been released from his embrace, could only shyly nod. She's not that old-fashioned. I'm just afraid that all the aunts will yell at her for not keeping herself together.
"I'll go get some food and medicine for you to eat. You wait a moment. You haven't eaten anything since morning. Must be really hungry."
"Thank you. But you can have Aunt Qiao take care of me. Your Majesty will not have any trouble."
"I am not in any difficulty. This is the duty of a fiancée like me. You don't have to worry."
Jun Prince finished speaking and he got up from the bed. He covered Ji Jiu with a blanket and walked out of the room to bring food and medicine that Aunt Qiao had prepared on the stove to warm for Ji Jiu. General Duan saw his grandson coming out of Ji Jiu's room and asked her about her condition.
"How is Ji Jiu?"
"She's awake, sir. I'm going to bring food and medicine for her to eat. Grandpa probably doesn't mind me asking to take care of her myself like this."
"Oh, what can I say? Even so, you will still do it, right?"
"Yes, sir. She is my future wife."
"Huh, pretend to be bragging, wait for her to nod and dress for you first, then come talk. Go quickly and bring food to her. She would take medicine and rest. I'm going to go look at the pond and see where things have been done."
"Grandfather, I will leave this matter to you to take care of for me for a while. In the evening I will go out and look again."
"Alright, hurry up and take care of Ji Jiu."
The two grandparents had gone to their own duties. Now they had to help Ji Jiu take care of everything before the snow fell again. Judging by the weather conditions, it wasn't expected to take more than a few days. this There may be heavy snow falling again. They also suspect that this time the inclement weather may have been caused by a previous drought. General Duan didn't know how many complaints his eldest grandson had right now.
General Tuan himself was troubled. He probably wouldn't be able to return to the border anytime soon if the weather continued like this. Luckily, he had his deputy commander frequently send news back to the court to the emperor. His grandson would probably be able to solve the problem himself. If it can't be fixed He must have sent news here.
General Tuan walked to the area where a large pond had been dug. which is on the other side of Baan Ji Jiu. With more than twenty people working together to dig. Making the construction of a large pond make great progress. It is expected that in a few days it will be finished and the snow from the village can be transported here. Ji Jiu, who should have just recovered from his fever, will probably be able to design a water filter in time. As for the tank for holding filtered water, He had already ordered many people to go and buy them in the district.
"Don't forget to take a break to eat. And sip ginger juice often to protect against cold weather. Did you know? If you get sick, it will be difficult. During this time, I have to disturb you as well. Anyway, let's be patient a little."
"Please, General."
All those who worked together accepted the General's words in unison. Aunt Qiao also boiled several large pots of ginger juice and prepared it as usual every day. They didn't have any shortage of ginger ale. Plus, the food she made was even more delicious than what they ate at the barracks. They had worked hard for the delicious food. They were truly envious of the people in this village who were able to eat it. Aunt Qiao's food is eaten every day. But how can you do it? They had to follow the master every time. Therefore, I cannot stay here for a long time. What will happen now that I am able to stay here? So they had to stock up on delicious food first.
