Chapter 540 Face powder
Mei Sheng tried again: "The tassels on this jade pendant are not the style used by Your Highness. They look like they were woven by a very careful woman with gold thread."
Zhou Chang had never paid attention to tassels, so when this was mentioned, he took it out from his pocket and took a closer look.
The gorgeous tassel on the jade pendant looked like a love knot, with a tassel pendant underneath. It was made of fine gold thread, but the weaving technique was a bit rough, at least not as good as Aunt Jing's previous craftsmanship.
This couldn't have been written by Yuan Qi himself, right?
As soon as Zhou Chang had this thought, somehow, Prince Yi's consciousness was shaken, and his whole body felt like he was electrocuted, and his heart skipped a beat.
Mei Sheng also looked over, his deer eyes darting back and forth over the jade pendant and not noticing Zhou Chang's expression.
Zhou Chang took a long while to recover. He straightened his stiff expression and said to himself or Mei Sheng: "It can't be..."
Mei Sheng probably didn't understand what it meant after hearing it, so he didn't ask any more questions.
Zhou Chang had just taken the medicine and the effect was taking effect. He started to feel dizzy, so he lay down and fell asleep again in a daze.
When Zhou Chang woke up again, he was suffocated.
In her dream, she fell into the cold river again and couldn't breathe...
Once I woke up, I was soaked in sweat and my throat was still burning.
Looking out the window again, it was already completely dark.
I guess I slept until night again.
Mei Sheng was still guarding by the bed. When he saw Zhou Chang wake up, he fed her the warm water he had prepared in advance.
After Zhou Chang drank the water, Mei Sheng took out the medicine powder left by the doctor and changed the medicine on Zhou Chang's neck.
Mei Sheng's movements were so gentle throughout the whole process that Zhou Chang couldn't even feel them.
After that, Meisheng helped her eat and take medicine.
Finally, Mei Sheng borrowed a quilt from the inn and spread it under the bed to keep watch all night.
Zhou Chang originally thought that this was unnecessary and was about to speak when he suddenly remembered that Mei Sheng might not have enough money to get another room and she was penniless now, so she had no choice but to make do.
Mei Sheng put the bedding at the foot of the bed, then came up and lowered the bed curtains for Zhou Chang.
Zhou Changyi tried hard to make herself fall into a deep sleep again. Right now, sleeping was the best way to nourish her body, and she needed to get better as soon as possible.
Unfortunately, I was awakened by a coughing fit at some point.
As soon as he opened his eyes, Mei Sheng had already opened the bed curtains, his face full of worry: "Sir, are you feeling unwell again?"
"Cough cough..." Zhou Chang was breathing unevenly and unable to speak.
Mei Sheng turned around and brought more water: "Sir, drink some water to moisten your throat first. The doctor also said yesterday that the fever may recur."
Zhou Chang propped himself up and drank two sips of water from the bowl in Mei Sheng's hand. He then looked up at the only candle on the square table in the room. Seeing that the candle had burned down to almost nothing, he couldn't help but ask, "You haven't slept yet?"
Mei Sheng did not answer, but brought the bowl to Zhou Chang's mouth again: "Sir, drink a few more sips of water. You must have sweated a lot and need to replenish water. I will go out tomorrow to see if I can buy some pears or kumquats."
Zhou Chang's throat felt burning with pain, and he didn't know if he had a fever again. He had just thought how nice it would be if he could have some fruit to moisten his throat at this time.
Unexpectedly, Mei Sheng spoke out like a worm in his stomach.
But he takes care of himself so attentively.
Zhou Chang was touched, but couldn't find any more appropriate words to express his gratitude, so he drank the whole bowl of water as he was told.
Mei Sheng put down the bowl, helped Zhou Chang lie down again, carefully covered her with a quilt, and was about to close the bed curtains.
Zhou Chang said, "No need for that. I always feel a little stuffy when I put down the bed curtains. I don't know if it's because of the sequelae of choking on the water after falling into the water. I feel short of breath from time to time."
Mei Sheng followed his instructions and tied the bed curtains to the bedposts, but he was still worried: "If you feel uncomfortable, I will ask a doctor to come and take a look tomorrow."
"Ahem... Let's talk about it tomorrow." Zhou Chang was somewhat hesitant. She had already been taken care of enough by Mei Sheng and didn't want to cause more trouble for him.
Meisheng turned around and extinguished the candle on the table.
Zhou Chang did not hear any more unnecessary movements from Mei Sheng and soon fell into a drowsy sleep again.
But it seemed that he didn't sleep for long, and was awakened by his own coughing.
"Sir, are you still restless?" As the candlelight lit up, Mei Sheng asked immediately, "Do you want some water?"
"Cough cough..." Zhou Chang propped herself up and coughed violently, and Meisheng came up and patted her on the back.
After Zhou Chang finished coughing, he gasped for a while.
Mei Sheng still kindly handed over the warm water.
Zhou Chang took two more sips, and then he realized that Mei Sheng seemed to have not slept yet: "Mei Sheng, did I disturb you? You haven't been able to rest yet, have you?"
"No, young master, just focus on recuperating. There's nothing else to worry about." Mei Sheng smiled, helped Zhou Chang lie down again, and tucked the corner of the quilt carefully. "Young master, just sleep well. This way you will get better quickly."
Zhou Chang lay down as he was told, but found that Mei Sheng had no intention of going to sleep.
During the day, Mei Sheng's deer eyes were surrounded by thick dark circles, and now they were dull and he was obviously extremely tired.
"Mei Sheng, go and rest." Zhou Chang gently pushed Mei Sheng's arm, "You must have stayed with me all night last night, right? The night is still long tonight, go and rest, I will try not to cough anymore."
"Okay, go to sleep first, young master." Mei Sheng smiled gently, "Don't worry about Mei Sheng."
After all the tossing and turning, Zhou Chang closed his eyes tiredly, but less than half a moment later, he felt a pair of eyes fixed on his face.
She opened her eyes again, and sure enough, Meisheng was sitting on a stool beside the bed, staring at her with his hands on his chin.
Zhou Chang felt uncomfortable being stared at: "Ahem... Meisheng, what are you looking at?"
"Mei Sheng is looking at the young master..." Mei Sheng's eyelids were fighting each other, and he spoke without much thought.
Zhou Chang suddenly recalled the first time he met Mei Sheng. Mei Sheng seemed to be like this, timid and afraid to look directly at him, but always willing to secretly glance at him.
"Mr. Mei, are you looking at my face? Do you think I'm good-looking?" Zhou Chang never believed that Mr. Mei would be a fan of Prince Yi.
Mei Sheng nodded seriously: "Young Master is extremely handsome."
The word was used too harshly, and Zhou Chang's face suddenly felt hot.
"Ah, what's wrong, young master? Is the fever getting worse?" Mei Sheng suddenly woke up, stood up with his eyes wide open, "Your Highness, wait a minute, I'll go and make a handkerchief for you..."
Zhou Chang did not stop him and took the opportunity to calm down.
After a while, Mei Sheng wrung out a cold handkerchief and put it on Zhou Chang's forehead.
Zhou Chang finally regained his composure and urged Mei Sheng: "Mei Sheng, you don't have to stay by my bed all the time. Just go to sleep. I feel much better now. If there is anything, I can handle it myself."
Mei Sheng was reluctant at first, but could not resist Zhou Chang's insistence.
Finally, Mei Sheng had no choice but to leave the head of the bed, go to the foot of the bed, open the bedding and spread it on the floor.
Zhou Chang had to wait until Mei Sheng blew out the candle again before he could close his eyes in peace.
