Chapter 124.1: Visiting the Pleasure Quarters, Looking for Tarts (1/2)

Tang Doudou didn’t see Baili Yu even after waiting for an entire night. She held onto the medicine and only returned to her room to sleep after much urging on Qing He’s part.

Too many things had happened in this one night. The moment her head touched the pillow, she fell deep asleep. Certain images kept resurfacing vividly in her dreams, causing her to feel even more tired after the night’s sleep than before she went to bed.

She lay on the bed dizzily. When Qing He entered, she immediately noticed Tang Doudou’s abnormal pallor and reached out to touch Tang Doudou’s face. Tang Doudou’s forehead felt like boiling water, it was shockingly hot.

“Lady Doudou.” Qing He gently nudged Tang Doudou. Tang Doudou was barely conscious and could only murmur in response. Upon seeing this, Qing He hastily got up and said, “I’m going to find you a doctor. No matter what don’t leave the bed or walk around. If you need anything, just instruct the servant girls outside!”

She then gave instructions to the servant girl waiting outside before hastily running into the distance.

After some time, Tang Doudou woke up again. In her state of drowsiness, she felt a pair of cool hands stroking her forehead. The cool feeling was very comfortable. Her lips parted slightly and she moaned softly before opening her eyes.

The sight of Baili Yu carefully wringing out a handkerchief in preparation to lay it over her forehead filled her eyes. When Baili Yu saw her eyes move, he hastily threw aside the handkerchief in his hands and grabbed her hand. “Doudou, are you feeling a little better?”

When Tang Doudou saw that the person who had been stroking her forehead was Baili Yu, she closed her tired eyes again. She wanted to reply to Baili Yu but when she opened her mouth she discovered that she couldn’t make any sound.

Just as she was about to give up, she felt a warm and moist sensation on her lips. She opened her eyes and found that Baili Yu was feeding her water. His movements were extremely gentle and careful, causing Ye Chuan who was watching by the side to gape so much an egg could be stuffed in his open mouth. He didn’t know how to describe this scene. He had never expected that Master would actually have such a considerate side to him.

Tang Doudou’s throat was moistened after she drank the water and she felt much better. Looking at Baili Yu, she asked, “Did I catch a cold? Is it severe? Will I die?”

“Don’t worry, Lady Doudou, it’s just a small chill. You’ll recover after drinking the medicine.” Qing He had been standing behind Baili Yu. She hastily reassured Tang Doudou when she heard what was asked.

Tang Doudou looked towards Baili Yu, only feeling more at ease when she saw Baili Yu nod. “Then that’s good.”

Why did she catch a cold out of nowhere? What a pain! And how high was her fever? She currently felt as if lead had been poured into her skull. Tang Doudou then closed her eyes again, missing the worry that had flashed through Baili Yu’s eyes.

The poison has already invaded her heart. The situation would not be good if they continued to delay matters.

However, things haven’t been completely prepared and he didn’t dare to take chances when Tang Doudou’s life was on the line. They’ll probably have to work quite hard for the upcoming period of time. However, even if they worked hard, those things were seriously hard to find. Although his Heng Xuan Chamber of Commerce could be found throughout the country, there was still no way for them to obtain those items in the shortest possible time frame. The only way would be if he personally undertook the task.

After Qing He carried over the medicine, Baili Yu took it and fed Tang Doudou a mouthful at a time. Tang Doudou was really moved as she watched him blow on the medicinal soup to cool it down. Da fudge? A rich and handsome boyfriend that’s considerate to boot. How many good deeds must she have done in her previous lifetime to earn this?

Now that she was seeing the good side of Baili Yu, she completely forgot about how she used to avoid Baili Yu out of dislike.

When Baili Yu saw that her facial color had improved a little, he waved his hand and dismissed everyone. He stayed and talked with her a little while longer before telling her to rest properly and leaving.

However, Tang Doudou couldn’t fall back asleep after Baili Yu left. For some reason, she kept feeling that the timing of this cold was unusual. However, she couldn’t figure out what was unusual about it no matter how hard she wracked her brain. After thinking about a bunch of random things, her head felt so uncomfortably heavy that she finally drifted off to sleep.

She only recovered after three days of rest. After recovering, she took a stroll around the garden while being accompanied by Qing He. When she didn’t see any trace of Baili Yu, she asked Qing He where he was.

“Master left Mist City yesterday,” replied Qing He.
