Chapter 1185
“Qianxue, it’s good that you’re here.” When the Duchess saw Leng Qianxue, she hurriedly said, “Louis seems to have caught a cold, he’s been very uncomfortable on his way back, can you ask Dr. Hua to take a look?”
“Okay, you guys help him back to his room first, I’ll go and ask Dr. Hua.”
Leng Qianxue looked at her watch, it was almost nine o’clock and she wondered if Dr. Hua had gone to bed.
She went to ask Dr. Hua herself. Dr. Hua had learned earlier that Yi Yi was missing and was worried that the children might get sick if she found them, so she did not go to sleep.
Leng Qianxue explained the situation and Dr. Hua immediately took his young apprentice to check on Louis.
Louis had already changed his clothes and was drinking hot water on the sofa. He blamed his mother for making too much of a fuss and asking Leng Qianxue to ask Dr. Hua at such a late hour to disturb the old man’s rest.
The Duchess rises to greet him and treats him with respect.
Leng Qianxue translated in the middle and both sides exchanged a few polite words before Dr. Hua began to examine Louis: “It’s a typhoid cold, just drink two pairs of Chinese herbs and you’ll be fine, take a hot bath and rest early.”
He then wrote a prescription and asked his young apprentice to prepare the medicine.
Leng Qianxue translated Dr. Hua’s words to the Duchess.
The Duchess was a bit uneasy and asked, “Some medicine and you’ll be fine? Don’t you need to go to the hospital? I see that Louis is so seriously ill, his body is cold and he is dizzy ……”
“Madam, don’t worry, Dr. Hua is highly skilled in medicine, the medicine he prescribes will certainly cure the disease.” Leng Qianxue said soothingly.
“That’s ……” Louis was about to say something when he started sneezing again, “Ache!”
“Okay, okay, let’s go out first, we won’t disturb your rest.”
The duchess was distressed by Louis and hurriedly told her entourage to get out.
Dr. Hua admonished Louis a few words, and then left with his young apprentice.
Leng Qianxue was about to see them out when the duchess hurriedly pulled her back, “Qianxue, I’ll just see Dr. Hua off, you can stay with Louis.”
“I ……”
Leng Qianxue was about to speak when the duchess left with all the other female attendants.
Demielle even admonished before she left, “Miss Leng, I’ll leave cousin to you.”
With that, all of them went out and even closed the door of the room.
Leng Qianxue stood there, her brow slightly furrowed.
“Qianxue, you don’t need to care about me, you go back and rest, ache, ache-”
Before Louis could finish his words, he sneezed one after another and then had a runny nose, his whole body looked very uncomfortable.
“Louis, you need to drink more hot water.”
Leng Qianxue was a bit upset and turned to pour water for him, but she found that there was only cold water in the kettle, so she immediately instructed the maid to get hot water.
In fact, Louis did not usually drink hot water, and only after Leng Qianxue arrived did they get into the habit of drinking hot water.
The servants were also used to it and prepared it every day.
“The pear soup you cooked just now was delicious, but unfortunately there was only a little bit, so I drank half a cup.” Louie said, covering his mouth and nose with his handkerchief.
“Then I’ll go and cook some for you.”
Leng Qianxue thought that Louis had gotten wet because he was helping her to find Yi Yi, and that when the fire was roasting later, he was so focused on helping her and Yi Yi to dry their clothes that he didn’t even care about himself, which was why he had caught a cold.
Besides, he was usually so nice to her, so it was only right that she should take care of him now.
“Will it be too hard for you?” Louis looked at her heartily, “You’ve also gotten wet and are already tired ……”
“It’s alright, this is easy.” Leng Qianxue hurriedly left, “You rest for a while, I’ll cook it and bring it over to you.”
“Okay, thank you, Qianxue!”
Louie’s heart was very warm and a sweet smile lifted up on his lips, not only did he not feel uncomfortable now, but he felt happy.
It turned out that when he was sick, Leng Qianxue would take care of him, maybe tonight, she would spend more time with him ……
Chapter 1186
Leng Qianxue stewed pear soup and also cooked a bowl of noodles in clear soup and brought it to Louis’ room, “You didn’t eat at night, I cooked noodles for you, come and try them.”
“You’re too kind, Chien Xue.” Louie was very touched.
“I don’t know if you like it.” Leng Qianxue handed him the chopsticks and then poured him a cup of sorbet soup, “I cooked a lot of it and put it in a thermos, you can pour it in a cup if you want to drink it tonight.”
“That’s very thoughtful of you.” Louie wolfed down the noodles and said with emotion, “This is the best food I’ve ever had.”
“It’s just an ordinary bowl of noodles in a clear soup.” Leng Qianxue smiled and said, “You are cold, eat something hot for your stomach to be much more comfortable.”
“Yeah, I feel very comfortable right now, it’s like my cold is getting better …… ah cut!”
Louie sneezed again before he could finish his words.
“How can you get well so quickly?” Leng Qianxue cried and laughed, “Little apprentice is boiling Chinese medicine, she will bring it to you later, you drink it and rest early, you should be better tomorrow.”
With that, she got up and prepared to leave ……
“Qianxue.” Louie hurriedly pulled her back, “You’re leaving? Can you stay and keep me company?”
“It’s time for you to rest.” Leng Qianxue looked at him tenderly, “I’ll disturb you if I’m here.”
“It won’t ……” Louis took her hand and refused to let go, “I want to watch you.”
“You’ll be able to see it tomorrow.” Leng Qianxue jerked her hand straight out, “Get some rest.”
Then, she left the room straight away ……
Louis looked at her back, his heart was very lost, he thought she was being nice to him because she had been shaken, but now that he thought about it, it was actually just out of friend’s care, right?
Perhaps, there was some gratitude too.
But there was no love ……
Louis sighed deeply, then raised his smile again and said to himself that it was okay, as long as there was persistence, even if that heart of hers, which was a stone, would be warmed by him ……
Leng Qianxue came out of her room and saw a figure fleeing in a panic.
That was the duchess’s personal maid.
Leng Qianxue frowned, she knew that the Duchess had always been concerned about the progress of her relationship with Louis, which was why she had sent someone to keep a secret eye on it.
“Sister Qianxue.”
At this moment, the young apprentice came up with the herbal medicine, followed by Demielle and two female attendants.
“Is the medicine ready?” Leng Qianxue asked with a smile.
“Mm.” The young apprentice nodded, “Drink it once tonight, and then drink it for three days after that.”
“Just hand it to them and wake up, you should go and rest.” Leng Qianxue said with concern, “You have to get up early tomorrow to accompany Master in dispensing the medicine.”
“That’s okay, it won’t take long.” The young apprentice said, “I have to give some notes to Duke Louis, by the way, I remember he understands Chinese, right?”
“Yes, I understand.” Leng Qianxue nodded, “Then rest early after you finish your instructions.”
“Okay.” The young apprentice carried the medicine upstairs.
When Leng Qianxue was about to go back to her room to rest, Di Mier suddenly asked cautiously, “Miss Leng, aren’t you going to accompany cousin?”
“He can rest after drinking the medicine.”
Leng Qianxue returned the question evasively and left without looking back.
Demi-er didn’t dare to say more, and waited for her to leave with her head down before raising it and following her young apprentice.
“Miss Leng is so cold to the young master.” The maid whispered in French.
“Hush, don’t talk nonsense.” Demielle warned in a low voice, and then went to knock on Louis’ door.
The young apprentice entered with the herbs, gave Louis a few words of advice, then put them down and left.
Demielle said that the medicine was bitter and asked the two waitresses to follow the young apprentice and ask for some plum candy, which the waitresses followed in a hurry.
In the room, only Demielle and Louis were left alone.
In the dim light, Demielle’s gaze became ambiguous and she looked at Louis with deep affection, “Cousin, let me help you to bed to rest.”
