C22 (1/2)

Gu Yiqing nodded. Without further ado, she mounted her horse first.

Yun Xiang opened her mouth at the back, almost wanting to say that it would weaken the young miss's spirit and could she rest for one more day. But after considering the young lady's scruples, she closed her mouth in the end.

After getting on the carriage, Yun Xiang felt sorry for her young mistress who had worked so hard yesterday. She spread out the brocade bed bedding, which was so thick that Gu Jinzhu had to lie down. Like this, the bumpiness of the carriage was reduced.

Bea lit a bronze incense burner and placed it at Gu Jinzhu's feet. She had a headache last night, probably because of the cold, and a chill went through her body, making it impossible for her to wrap herself tightly in the blanket.

During the rainy season of June, it was already raining heavily in Jiangnan. The sky was dark and the air was filled with a humid and cold atmosphere. The rain outside the car never stopped, as if it was never going to stop.

Even though Yun Xiang had already pulled down the curtain of the carriage, there was still a cold wind blowing in through the window with a drizzle. Although Yun Xiang had already pulled down the curtain of the carriage, there was still a cold wind blowing in through the window.

Gu Yiqing was in a hurry, so she deviated from the main road and took shortcuts.

The terrain became increasingly desolate and remote. After travelling for more than half a day, he still hadn't seen any inns. At noon, he could only stop in the wilderness to eat something.

He and his attendants carried dry rations with them, and they were used to being in the wild, so he did not mind.

Yun Xiang and Bi Meng, on the other hand, were worried. It was raining in the wilderness and they couldn't pick up food from the ground. They hadn't expected such a difficult situation, as they thought that they would be able to rest in an inn just like they did with the Old Madam of the Chen family, so they didn't prepare much food.

Yun Xiang could only use the stove to make some soup to dispel the cold and also take out the several colored pastries she had prepared earlier. Unfortunately, Gu Jinzhu wasn't feeling well, so she could only barely eat a few mouthfuls before lying down.

Gu Jinzhu was sleeping so heavily that she didn't even know if the car was stopping or walking. Her whole body seemed to be floating in the clouds. After who knows how long, she suddenly heard Bea cry out, ”Wow, the girl seems to be having a fever. Why is her face so red …”

”Really?” Yun Xiang was startled and immediately rushed over. She extended a hand to cover Gu Jinzhu's forehead and her expression changed the moment she touched it, ”Heavens, Miss really has a fever. It's so hot …”

The two girls immediately became flustered. Yun Xiang was afraid that Gu Jinzhu would faint, so she called out softly while trying to help her up.

”What should I do, what should I do …” She kept muttering to herself.

She hurriedly went to rummage through her bag. When she was about to leave, she prepared a small bag of commonly used medicine. There were those that suffered from headaches, coughs, and bruises. However, when she searched through the bag in the corner, she didn't find the medicine bag.

Under the call of the fragrance, Gu Jinzhu opened her eyes and only glanced at her once before closing them again.

Yun Xiang's heart was burning with anxiety. Her daughter's eyes were misty and her cheeks were red. Even her breath was scorching hot. She didn't know why it had suddenly become so hot.

Bi Feng was so anxious that she almost cried, ”No …” None... ”Where did it go? I clearly remember leaving it here …”

She opened all the parcels, almost all the carts, but there was no sign of the life-saving package.

”Think about it. Did you put the medicine bag in your bag when you went out?”

”I let go! I clearly let that little pendant …” Bea's voice stopped, and her eyes widened.

She remembered, she had told the little pendant to send the medicine bag to the carriage, but when Miss Chen's little girl came over, she forgot about it.

Right now, the food and clothes that Miss Chen had sent were all here, but the medicine bag was missing. Could it be that the medicine bag hadn't been delivered at all?
