Pampered Consort of the Fragrant Orchard

Ever since Du Yunhan had been put under house arrest, she and Du Xueqi were also locked up here. Since that day they had never eaten a single meal with meat. But thanks to Du Yunhan's arrangements, they hadn’t died of starvation or cold.

Although she didn't ask about the world inside the Du Manor, she still knew that Du Yunhan was a capable person and couldn't have been set up so easily. Hearing the movement outside, she knew that this matter would soon be over.

“Mother, I want to eat the stewed pigeon that you make.” Du Xueqi's voice was getting smaller and smaller.

Du Xueqi hadn't cried or fussed since being here. Other than asking twice why they couldn't go out, she had been quiet and obedient by her side.

She said she wanted to be as strong as her Third Sister, and wouldn't cry easily when things happened.

“Good, when we go out, Mother will give you pigeon stew.” Xie Yu thought Du Xueqi was just about to fall asleep, so she continued to pat her back and coax her.

But soon she realized that something was wrong. Du Xueqi's breathing became rapid, her exhaled breaths were hot and her body was feverish, but she kept shouting that she was cold.

Xie Yu helped her up and touched her forehead to hers. Feeling her hot temperature, she instantly panicked, holding her limp body, Xie Yu kept shaking her, shouting her name.

“Xue'er, Xue'er, wake up, don't scare mother!”

Du Xueqi slightly opened her eyes, but they were devoid of any luster, and said in a daze, “So cold, so cold.”

“Someone come! Someone come!” Xie Yu put Du Xueqi back on the ground, stood to the door and shouted, “Someone, someone come quickly, my daughter is sick! Hurry up and send someone to get a doctor!”

A housekeeper came over yawning, and said unhappily through the door, “What are you yelling for in the middle of the night!”

“Quickly go and ask the doctor, my daughter is sick!” Hearing a voice outside, Xie Yu said eagerly.

“What are you yelling about, what sick? Where can I get you a doctor in the middle of the night? You're just a prisoner, and you still want a doctor? Don't make any more noise, understand?”

“My daughter is very sick, please go get a doctor!”

“Is she really sick?” The housekeeper said skeptically, “Then you wait, I'll ask Madam tomorrow. Really, it's so cold in the middle of the night and you won’t even let people sleep properly.”

After the housekeeper finished speaking, he walked back with confused eyes when he suddenly saw a silhouette land in front of him, holding a sword and looking at him.

“You…”

The other party didn't wait for him to finish before stabbing him through the heart with a sword.

Xie Yu heard the housekeeper leave, and then called out at the door for a while. Realizing that no one was paying any attention, she could only come back, holding Du Xueqi in her arms, saying, “Xue'er, it's okay, we will soon be able to go out, you will soon be able to see the doctor, it's okay, Mother is here...”

Just at this moment, there was a clanging sound, the door of the firewood room was opened, and two black-clothed men came in, scaring her.

“Who are you guys?” Xie Yu hugged Du Xueqi tightly and asked vigilantly.

“We are here to save you on the orders of Young Master and Young Miss, you should come with us.” A man in black said.

“Are you guys telling the truth?” Xie Yu didn't dare to trust them easily and asked again.

At this time a woman in black came in from outside, seeing Xie Yu, she said, “Third Aunt, let's leave here first, it'll be troublesome if the rescuers come over later.”

Xie Yu saw Xia Yuan and believed their words, hurriedly hugged Du Xueqi up and said, “Xia Yuan, Xue'er is sick.”

Xia Yuan walked over, reached out and touched Du Xueqi's body and said, “It's a fever, and it's very high. Let's go out first, I'll give her a look when we get outside.”

After following Du Xiaoli for so long, she could still heal simple illnesses, and Du Xiaoli saw that she was interested in medicine and would teach her when she had time. She could manage this kind of fever.

“Hurry up, someone is coming.” The man at the door shouted.

“I'll carry her, Third Aunt you follow us.” With that, Xia Yuan pulled both of Du Xueqi's hands and placed them on her shoulders, easily carrying her on her back.

However, Xia Yuan and the others were still discovered, and when they reached the back door, they were chased by someone.

“You guys go first, we'll deal with them.” A man in black said.

“You guys be careful. You carry Fifth Miss.” Xia Yuan handed Du Xueqi over to the people around her, then pulled Xie Yu up and ran out the back door.

The people outside the Prime Minister's Mansion were all drawn to the front because the support troops given by Han Mingyi didn't enter the Prime Minister's Mansion through the passageway, but instead started attacking directly from the front door, moving all the forces outside to make it easier for Xia Yuan and the others to enter from the back to save people.

Xia Yuan and the girls went out, tugging Xie Yu to run down a street and get into the carriage waiting there. The carriage took them to a private house, where Xia Yuan and one of the guards carried Du Xueqi inside. Xia Yuan ordered the person waiting inside prepare a paper and pen to write a prescription for the medicine, and then arranged people go and grab the medicine.

“Third Aunt, after you give the medicine to Fifth Miss, give her a hot bath and then wrap her in a thick quilt, she will be fine after sweating it out.” Xia Yuan saw Xie Yu sitting worriedly in front of the bed and went up to comfort her.
